Using Device Central CS5.5 offline or Obtain online libraries for local (offline) use

Device Central CS5.5 cannot navigate my proxy server, and my security unit is never going to provide an exception to allow it.
I need Device Central to at least start-up so I can review some mobile website designs. But all I get upon starting DC is two requests for my proxy credentials then a message stating DC cannot connect to the online library. Clicking OK to the "no connection" message shuts DC down. Why? Why can I not use the software without a constant connection to the Internet?
That is
where can I download the libraries for local use, what adress is it attpemting to connect to?
where do I put them so CS5.5 can find and use them?
How do I get CS5.5 to stop trying to connect to the Internet at start up when I cannot get to the properties to change the setting?
I found this note http://helpx.adobe.com/legacy/kb/device-central-cs4-cannot-connect.html providing an offline solution for DC CS4 which deos not work with CS5.5.
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
CS5 Help is usually located at /usr/<username>/Library/Preferenecs/chc.487...../Local Store/Help folder.
CS6 help is usually downloaded to the shared location, unless it is restricted. In that case the above folder may be used for downloading help.
Yes, the offline content setting in Adobe Help Manager, will work for both CS5 and CS6 help and help clients.
'Expired Status' usually refers to the state when local content goes stale, and there is new offline content available on Adobe.com servers. Yes, a user may click on Download/Update button to update the expired content from Adobe Help Manager.
Regarding the CS5 product help launch, I will need some more information to provide a reply.
1. Which product and version of CS5 is the customer facing problem with.
2. What is the status of help downloaded for the same product (CS5 or CS6 in Adobe Help Manager)
3. Is the user able to see downloaded help in the above mentioned folders
Let me know if you have more queries.
Regards,
Sandeep

  • Device Central CS5 proxy

    Are there any future plans or current workarounds for Device Central CS5 to use my computer's proxy settings to access the online deveice library? I am interested in the phone skins, the one thing the download does not include.
    I have read the support article about allowing direct internet traffic to the library, are there any other solutions?

    Hi,
    I just had a discussion in a pevious thread, there it appeared to be some firewall settings blocking the download of online devices. If it is a similar situation, then the workaround would be to connect to another network and download the online device library.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe device central cs5 has stopped working

    I am using cs5 on windows 7. When I tried to browse for new devices using Browse Devices, the progress window
    displayed "processing 0 from 587" and then the window with the above title popped up and just prompted me to
    close the program.
    I noticed that the Devices options were all greyed out and not selectable.
    I tried reinstalling the whole CS5 suite but the problem still exist.
    Anybody can help me with this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Michaelw_sg
    you could try deleting the cache in your user folder ( .... AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Device Central CS5 ) by deleting (or renaming) the whole "Adobe Device Central CS5" folder and then restarting Device Central.
    If you are interested (we definitely are ), we wouldn't mind having a look at your user folder to be able to investigate what caused the problem, that is if our suggestion does solve your problem.
    Thanks,

  • Device Central CS5.0.1 - Update Failed

    Hi
    Over the last week or so there has been an update for Device Central CS5.0.1 but when I run Application Manager to updateDevice Central CS5.0.1 it fails.
    There are no clues as to why it has failed, other recent updates for Photoshop, Illustrator etc where successfulI.
    I am running Windows 7 and CS5
    Any help in sorting this out would be appreciated and BTW how do I contact Adobe Support?
    Many thanks
    Steve

    I am also having the same problem using Win 7 and Photoshop Extended CS5.
    I continued to get the 'no issues found' when running the Adobe Support Advisor, until I went into preferences of ASA and changed the option under the second section called "Hide Inspecting Option Dialog" from the default 7-days to "All Logs".  Once I did that, it indicated that it had found issues and the issues log would be sent to Adobe.  Some progress, at least.
    But what really irks me is the fact that the Adobe Updater continues to show I need the update!  I don't use Device Central but I can't get rid of the reminder to install the update.  I guess it is payback for using the default installation process when I installed CS5!
    I also read the message thread in the link above, but like another user, I didn't understand what the fix was (without reinstalling the whole product, that is).

  • Adobe Device Central CS5.5

    Hi everybody,
    I installed Adobe Master Collection suite on to my Mac OS 10.6.8. When I click on the Device Central icon I get the following error message: "The localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try." Can anybody help me out as I'm puzzled, everything else such as Dreamweaver etc works no problem, so I'm puzzled as to know why this doesn't work?
    Thanks

  • Adobe Device Central CS5 for LG Model cellphone

    Does Adobe device central don't have LG KF350 this model of cell phone???
    anybody can tell me?

    I don't know if you answered this for yourself by now but the answer is yes, you do have phone profile available in CS5. Just click on the Browse workspace or go to Window > Device Library.

  • Uninstalling Device central cs5

    Okay I just installed a couple of trials of the new adobe dreamweaver/flash/after effects cs5.5 programs and i still have old support software (extension manager cs5, device central cs5 and extended script cs5, media encoder cs5). So basically i have cs5 and cs5.5 versions of those, which is doing nothing but wasting disk space. I uninstalled the old cs5 versions already, why aren't those going with them?

    Have you tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool ?

  • Problems in Device Central CS5

    Hi guys,
    I have so many problems - while trying to develop an iphone app.
    I do not have a license at this moment so i m stuck in Device Central CS5.
    It is behaving strange, two problems below -
    1) Listen to touch event... only TOUCH_BEGIN fires!
    TOUCH_MOVE, TOUCH_END, doesnt fires at all - in Device Central CS5, regardless of how i tap on the screen like crazy.
    Only TOUCH_BEGIN fires. why?
    2) GESTURE_SWIPE event not firing.
    I can listen to GESTURE_ZOOM and GESTURE_ROTATE successfully (again, in device central), but GESTURE_SWIPE is not firing...
    why?
    p/s:Is there any other better/more responsive forum to discuss flash+cs5+iphone developement?
    Thanks.

    It has been my experience that these items are very difficult to test in Device Central due to the simulation aspect. I have been doing my own tests where I write something and test it on my device to see if it really works or not, which I realize is not an answer. If you want me to look over your code, you can contact me.
    I think this forum is pretty good with answering questions. The knowledge level of many of the participants here is quite high, and the advice is correct.
    There are other Adobe forums that deal specifically with code, which might be another source for you.

    I would like to take excel classes / tutorials (intermediate to advanced) and practice on this computer. Could someone clarify, what software and operating system is needed? Can I just use numbers? Do I need to download Excel for Macs and use Camp Boot?

    Numbers is a joke compared to Excel. If I were you I would find a class/tutorial first, find out what they use (and it won't be Numbers) and see if you need the Mac or Windows version of Excel. Note that Excel is not sold as a seperate product from the Microsoft Office suites.

  • Problems with Flash Professional CS5 and Device Central CS5

    I have Adobe CS5 Web premium, Windows 7 64-bit.  (All updates on both)
    My problem is that when I press create on Device Central it doesn't set up the flash document specs for the particular device I am trying to build an app for.  It does the same thing when I try to create a new Adobe Device Central document in flash.  However when I try and create mobile documents for photoshop, illustrator or fireworks it works fine.  It is just when I try and create one for flash.
    Any suggestions?

    I realize this is an old thread, but I am having the same problem. In Device Central CS 5.5, I first selected Browse and dragged the HTC Droid Incredible, Motorola Droid 2, and Motorola Droid X to the Test Devices pane. Then I selected Motorola Droid 2 and clicked the Create button. At this point, the three devices that I added are grayed out, and the New Document pane says "To start, please select device(s) in the 'Test Devices' panel." The Motorola Droid 2 is still selected in the Test Devices panel, but as I said, it is grayed out.
    What am I msising?

    There are some subtle differences, related to how local phone calls are billed for callers in New York City.  It would not affect how the Online Number works for you - you are not charged for incoming calls made to Skype's Online Numbers, when you answer those calls with Skype.  For those calling you, it can mean the difference between a free call to your Online Number and having to pay a small fee to call your number.  For someone calling from outside the New York City area, it probably doesn't matter which of those zones you use for your Online Number.
    I have not found a good concise online reference to those calling zone in the past.  I have found some rather cryptic material that shows which prefixes in each of the New York City area codes are in each of those zones.  The zones are defined by lists of prefixes within each of those area codes, and those lists can be substantial with the growth in mobile phones over the years.

  • Set SPN for a local SQL Server 2008 R2 Express database used for local "Offline Mode" application

    Hi - I have tried searching the web for tips on this situation. Basically, I am trying to recreate a previous employee's client Image. This image is used for one of our companies client application that features and "Offline Mode" where it connects
    (Using Kerberos) to the local DB instead of the central DB server.
    The custom image connects without issue. I cannot seem to recreate his configuration. I am sure of these things:
    - Both images are using the same SQL Server 2008 R2 Express version.
    - Both images have the same user accounts setup.
    - Both images have "Remote Connections" setup with TCP/IP enabled in the Configuration Manager.
    - Both images are joined to the same Domain server currently.
    - Both images has the SQLServer service set to use "NETWORK SERVICE" account.
    This is the error message I get when SQL starts up for the non-working image:
    The SQL Network Interface library could not register the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service. Error: 0x54b, state: 3. Failure to register an SPN may
    cause integrated authentication to fall back to NTLM instead of Kerberos. This is an informational message. Further action is only required if Kerberos authentication is required by authentication policies.
    Thank you for any assistance given.

    Hi Gribbled,
    Could you please change the SQL Server Service to run under 'LocalSystem' account and restart SQL Server? Then check if the error still occurs. When the SQL Server service account is configured to use the LocalSystem account, the server will automatically
    publish the SPN.
    Alternatively, to work around this issue, you can manually create the SPN for the SQL Server Service account  using the SETSPN tool. For more details, please review this
    blog.
    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang
