Update Content Applications on a Schedule

I have an app that is global - across many time zones.
Is there a way to schedule updating contet to specific DP's?
I.E. make sure a DP in california updates at 5pm local time and that a DP in Australia also updates at 5pm local.
I only see the option for "Update Content" on the deployment package, which immediately causes all DP's to update.

I created a powershell script that updates the content of an application. I then called the script using a scheduled task. This way I can run it off hours on a regular basis. (This is great for my antivirus application source files that
get updated definition content.)
Import-Module ‘D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin\ConfigurationManager.psd1'
Set-Location XXX:
Update-CMDistributionPoint -ApplicationName "$name" -DeploymentTypeName "$dptname"
Make sure your path to the module is correct in the first line and that your Site code is correct in the second line.
For the last line, put the application name and deployment type name in the right spots in the quotes.
Here is a link to the site that shows how to run a powershell script from a scheduled task.

Update content of application

I have uploaded some application on the itune connects and its status is ready for sale but now require to change some content of the application.
So its require to add the new version of the application or with in that version i can change the content and if possible then i have done as per it but content is not updated on the live means in the itunes but when i see the itune connects i will find the updated content over there but in real anyone see the app on the appstore then they find the old content only.
So now what all are the steps i require to update the content.
Thanks,
Maulik Trambadiya.

Problem discovered

I already have changed my apple id. But whenever I update any application, it is asking and using the old app id and password that is not a working e-mail already. How can I change my app id?

I already have changed my apple id. But whenever I update any application, it is asking the old app id and password that is not a working e-mail already. How can I change my app id?

So you made a new Apple ID? Unfortunately that won't work. Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. What should have been doen is mearely change the email address that was associated with the Apple ID.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
The only way that you can do this now is with a new email address if you used your current email address for the new Apple ID.

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call.

Dynamically Updating Content Server Portlets

[urlHi, I am currently having difficulty dynamically updating content server portlets. I have a portlet of the following form:[/url]
ArticleName Author Title Date mystory author1 title1 04/05/01
story2 author2 title2 06/07/04
story author3 title3 01/02/03
So I have this table where each one of the line items is an article in the content server. So, for example the first line item is an article "mystory" by "author1", with title "title1" and date "04/05/01" additionally there is an article text field, but this isn't displayed unless I click on the article name.
I can set up the basics of this portlet, but when I try to add any real functionality I run into one of two problems.
First Problem: Passing Information
I cannot find a way to pass information between content portlets. For instance, if the user would like to "re-sort" this table based on "date", I would like to have the user click on the "date" column heading and then reload the page. To do so, I would have to pass the section name back to the page so that it could resort based on this data. I have not found anyway to effectively pass information to a content server portlet. I am building these pages through use of the presentation template framework (so I can have access to the content items) but that seems to change the way portlets are handled.
I got around this limitation with a regular portlet by creating an intermediary page which captures passed information and stores it to the session state. Once the information was in the session state, it is accessible to the portlet on the first page. However, this only works because remote portlets do not change their session id once loaded. Content Server portlets, on the other hand, change their session id after every reload of the browser or page change. I can send information from a content server portlet to an intermediary page, but I cannot send it back to the portlet because the session id has changed so I have no idea of knowing where to send the information. I can write it to a session state, but by the time I return to the portal page, the content server has changed its session id so it does not know where to look any longer.
I suppose it would be possible to create an application state variable and append it with some static token (if there is some static variable per portal session) but I would rather not have to deal with application variables if at all possible.
Second Problem: Dynamically Updating PCS Tags
Even if I were able to the pass information back to my content server portlet, I run into another issue. The easiest way to sort content server items is using the filter command in the pcs:foreach tag. So, if I wanted to sort by author name, I could do something like the following <pcs:foreach var="item" expr="filter(folderByName('content'), filtered.name == '"name")" or something like that (the syntax may be incorrect, I just wrote this off the top of my head). However, it appears that the way the presentation templates are compiled goes in the order of PCS tags THEN JSP. So I would have no way of dynamically changing the variable on which I sort. For example, if I clicked on "Date" above in my table, I would like to be able to dynamically change my code so that I sort on date, and not name. I cannot find a solution to this problem.
My workaround is to use the pcs tags to write out all the possible sortings to java array objects. This gives me access to the data on a JSP level and based on whatever the user will chose, I could then display that array. While this works, it is extremely ghetto and inefficient. Any help or suggestions would be fantastic.
Thanks a lot,
Jason Grauel

You can use just about any javascript you want in any Content Server presentation template including ones that are used for portlets.
However, you should be careful to name javascript functions and global variables uniquely so that they do not conflict with any other javascript on the page. To do this, you can append the item id to function and variable names, for example,
function doSomething<pcs:value expr="pcs_id"></pcs:value>() {
return true;

Adobe air doesn't submit updated content from ckeditor

Hello,
I'm wiriting applicaiton using adobe air and part of it is to display in iframe code of website with built in ckeditor (http://ckeditor.com).
The problem is that when I want to submit modified text using ckeditor adobe air send old content.
I'm trying to get new text from ckeditor element using:
     1. CK method "var content = CKEDITOR.instances.editor_content.getData();"
     2. jQuery call: "jQuery("#editor_content").val()"
but both methods return always the initial text, not the modified one. It works without problems with all standard browsers (Chrome, FF, IE etc.).
to test this issue you can open this url within adobe air window (i.e. as iframe):
     http://ckeditor.com/demo#flash
then update content and try to "send to flash". It will send original content, not the modified one.
Does anyone have any idea of workaround for this that can force Adobe Air to send send back updated content of ckeditor ?
I would prefer to find solution on Adobe Air side, without experimenting with other versions of CK or alternative implementations of WSIWYG editors because it's part of bigger project.
Any adivices welcomed!
thanks,
Marek

The problem is fixed:
With Windows Fix It at least I was able to uninstall Adobe Air. After Reisnatllation of Air and my application the system is running quite wonderful.
Best regards,

HT204053 how come there is another apple id appears when im about to update the applications that i have downloaded?

how come there is another apple id appears when im about to update the applications that i have downloaded?

When a stranger's Apple ID appears on your Mac in conjunction with an update for an app that you have never installed, you have a pirated app on your Mac. The pirated app is not the app calling for the update. This pirated app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from usually a free app, often Angry Birds or Twitter, acquired by the person whose Apple ID you see.
You may not have realized that it was a pirated app when you installed it. You may have believed that it was a trail version or a "free" version.
All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

All content from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, so the id that shows when trying to download updates should be the account that 'owns' that app. Do you recognise the id that is showing e.g. has anybody else downloaded or synced content to your iPad ?

Cannot update my application to 1.5.3 namespace..

I just tried to update my 1.5.2 application to the new 1.5.3 namespace. It's a complete html/js only application. In order to properly update the application on client PCs, I added the publisherID tag to the application descriptor, just as mentioned in the release notes.
Up from then, I cannot anymore start my application: starting the application from Aptana Studio using a 1.5.3 SDK I receive the following error:
Error: EncryptedLocalStore may not use publisher IDs passed in from ADL
    at flash.data::EncryptedLocalStore$/processErrorCode()
    at flash.data::EncryptedLocalStore$/getItem()
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

    at Array/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::forEach()
    at <anonymous>()
    at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
    at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
The line where this error is being thrown is:
return air.EncryptedLocalStore.getItem(key);
The error does not occur, when removing the publisherID-element from the application descriptor. However the problem is, that previous installations of my app cannot be updated without the publisherID element, since the publisherID in 1.5.3 would be different and the AIR installer does not detect the already existing installation.
Does anyone have an idea, how to fix this?
The application descriptor:

I'm currently at work and don't have access to my test environment for this issue..
I think I updated from 1.5.2, but don't know exactly if the runtime update had been caused by an application update. Will check this again as soon as I am at home.
But generally there also seems to be a problem in Aptana Studio: having the publisher ID set in the XML won't debug-start my app, so I always have to add the pub id elem before building a release which is quite annoying. But that's another point and is not part of the Adobe forum

Update content type definition in sandboxed solution

In my web application I am using a content type hub. The content type hub contains a sandboxed solution which contains several content type and column definitions like this:
<ContentType>
<FieldRefs>
<FieldRef ID="" Name="" />
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
<Field ID="" Name="" />
Now I need to update a content type definition by adding a new column. In my content type definition in Visual Studio I added the field refence to the column and build a new WSP.
I am updating the sandboxed solution with PowerShell. First I add the new solution:
Add-SPUserSolution -Site $url -LiteralPath $newSolutionFile
Then I update the old solution with the new:
Update-SPUserSolution -Identity $oldSolutionName -Site $url -ToSolution $newSolutionName
The old solution is deactivated and the new solution is activated, so the update did go well. But when I go to see the content type, it's not updated. The newly added column did not get added.
When I manually deactivate the newly added sandboxed solution and activate it straight away the content type does get updated. So it looks like the Update-SPUserSolution command does not update the content type and column definitions.
Does anyone has experience with updating content types with the Update-SPUserSolution command?

Hi,
Please check the link below.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/ff798382.aspx.
you can use the Update-SPUserSolution command
in Windows PowerShell to upgrade your solutions. However, this requires access to the server environment, which is not necessarily available to sandboxed solution developers or site collection administrators.

Parental Controls Broken After Updating an Application

I'm using Parental Controls (remotely) under 10.5.4 to manage what applications can be opened in a small lab. This works well until I need to update an application on the lab computers. I'll use Firefox as an example, but this happens with all applications.
- I have a version of Firefox on all lab computers (3.0) and Firefox is allowed under parental controls. Everything works.
- I update Firefox to 3.0.1. (In this case, I simply overwrote the older version of firefox, but I get this problem when updating applications with installers.)
- If I remotely look at the Parental Controls settings for the lab computer, I can see that Firefox is still allowed (checked)
- Now, on the lab computer, I log into the managed account and try to open Firefox, I get a warning about the application not being on the allowed list.
- I log out of the lab computer, and again, access the parental controls setting remotely. Now Firefox is Not Allowed (unchecked).
- I check the box to allow Firefox
- Now when I log into the managed account, the new version of Firefox opens.
Some fixex / workarounds I have tried:
- After updating Firefox, I remotely accessed the parental controls settings and first disallowed (unchecked) Firefox, close parental controls, reopened it, and then allowed (checked) Firefox. When logged into the managed account, opening Firefox produced the not allowed error. When I return to the Parental Controls settings, Firefox is now Not Allowed (unchecked). Checking the box to allow Firefox fix the error.
- I've tried restarting after updating Firefox and it did not work.
My guess:
I assume that Leopard keeps a list of applications and versions installed on the computer. Parental Controls allows a specific combination and any update will break the parental controls. To allow this updated application to be opened, its old entry in the list must be updated to reflect the new version. The only way I have figured out how to do this, is to try and open the updated application and fail. Then I can finally allow the updated version.
Does anyone know of an automated or scritable way to do this. I have tried working with lsregister, but have not had any success. I need a way to force Leopard to reload / refresh its list of installed applications, with having a user logged into the console.
For a different solution, does if you can send a UNIX command to machine sitting on it login screen, that will cause the machine to login as a local console user. I could then send "open /path/to/updated app" and a logout to force the application list to be refreshed.
Many Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi! Did you ever receive any feedback on this issue?
I am interested since I have noticed the exact same frustration with Parental Controls since updating to 10.5.
While a very good idea, I think the parental controls, especially with respect to permissions about applications is utterly useless at the moment. It is completely stupid that I have to reset the permissions for applications each and every time I update an application. I have three children who use the computer and I don't want them using every bit of software on the eMac. They are naturally curious and will click on programs that can do damage without realizing is.
I have also turned off any parental controls regarding web browsing but my children still hit many sites that are blocked by Parental Controls. I do have a linux gateway that does the filtering quicker and better.
If anyone at Apple is listening ... please spend some time to fix this for the next update.
Thank you.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

How do I verify my laptop to use the same Apple ID that I use on my iPod in order to update an application?

I'm trying to update an application on my laptop that I have also downloaded on my iPod, but for some reason every time I try to sign in to update, it claims my device has not been verified. Any ideas on what I could do?

go to settings>itunes and app store - if you are signed in then tap the id and sign out - try to sign back in and see if it gives you a particular error
