Using NFC Writer to open a specific app

I recently purchased some NFC Tags and installed Nokia NFC Writer on my Nokia Lumia 920. I would like to be able to use the tags to open specific apps, but the only option I have been able to find is System Apps & Top Apps. I would like to be able to have it open specific apps (if it can open Top Apps, why can't it open other ones?). I do not see as much ability to customize what happens as I would like to see. Can someone tell me how to specify a specific app to be opened? Thanks.

That's a good suggestion, njsokalski. Currently, the app only supports creating tags with the options pre-set on it. We recommend posting your feedback and suggestion on this link: https://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions.

When attempting to set up Mac OS to open a specific app (version), and selecting 'Change All' on Get Info, it reverts to most latest app version of the same. Any clues?

When attempting to set up Mac OS to open files with a specific app (version), through 'Change All' on Get Info, it reverts to most latest version of the same app. Any reason why it does not allow my other version of same app to be the default one?

I have Acrobat Pro 10.1.13 and Adobe Reader 10.1.13.
If I use the Finder to get all PDFS to open with Reader instead of Pro, they do. And vice versa, using the Change All.

Use a "Write" Event on a Specific Drive or to a Specific Folder to Trigger a Task in Task Scheduler

I first posted this question on the Microsoft Community forum. It was suggested that I repost it here.
I have a question!
(Pleas forgive the long post...)
What I am trying to do: (This is what I have not yet figured out!)
I am trying to figure out how to trigger a task, in Windows Task Scheduler (WTS), whenever a "Disk Write" event occurs on a specified drive on the machine. - Or, more specifically, whenever a new file or folder is written or
saved to a specified Folder, or a specific Disk Partition, or a specific Hard Disk on the machine - whichever is more relevant for the end goal.
The overall goal:
When a "disk write" operation occurs and data is written to a specified location on a Hard Drive, start a Program at the beginning of the following hour, that will run a backup of the contents
of that location, (after - of course - the new data has been written). After the backup is complete, disallow the program from being started again at the beginning of the next hour, unless more data is written to the specified location beforehand.
Example:
At 2:27pm, I save a new word document to "D:\My Folder\". When the new Word doc file is saved to "D:\My Folder\", my preferred Backup software application is then scheduled to run a backup at the beginning of
the following hour - at 3:00pm - which will then create a new backup of "D:\My Folder\".
The backup software will NOT be scheduled to run again at the next following hour - at 4:00pm - unless another file or additional data is written to "D:\My Folder\" - between 3:00pm and 4:00pm.
Summary:
The goal here is to only run a backup at the beginning of the next hour, following a “disk write” event to a specified location on the hard drive.
Steps that I have, so far, on how to make this happen:
Whenever data is written to a specified location on a hard drive (i.e. "D:\My Folder\"), "Task A," in Windows Task Scheduler, will be triggered to execute its action.
The Action in "Task A" will run a script that changes the Status of "Task B" to ENABLED.
The Action in "Task B" will, on a continuous hourly schedule, start a program that will perform work on the machine. (In this case, it will run a Backup Task in my preferred backup software.)
Upon completion of work by that program (the Backup software), that program will run another script that will change the Status of "Task B" back to DISABLED; preventing "Task B" from continuing that program every hour
according to its hourly schedule.
How do I do this: ... ?
The thing holding me back on making this work is figuring out how to identify the source that generates the “disk write” event and event ID I need, so I can use it to trigger a task in Windows Task Scheduler - in the way that I need. Furthermore,
the “disk write” event needs to specific to a disk drive that I specify and if at all possible, specific to a location that I specify, i.e. “D:\My Folder\”.
Any help on this as well as other suggestions on making this work is greatly appreciated!

Could not save my_file.psd because the file is already in use or was left open by another app"

Since some time ago I often get this message when trying to save my PSD file: "could not save my_file.psd because the file is already in use or was left open by another application", whereas there's no application that uses the file in reality. What could cause this problem?

What could cause this problem?
If I remember correctly posibilities include the OS, anti-virus software, … and if you work across a network you are basically on your own anyway as Adobe specifically discourages this.
What are your OS, program version, …?

"Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications" comes almost in every app that I open and it does not notify me when I got message in Whatsapp and Viber. Please help me to overcome it, it is becoming quite annoying!

"Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications" comes almost in every app that I open and it does not notify me when I got message in Whatsapp and Viber. Please help me to overcome it, it is becoming quite annoying!

Did you get any help on this? From what I can see from surfing this site, it's a BUG that no one has offered a solution to. It sometimes happens after a 'reset' and going to ITunes does not offer a way to 'set up push notifications'.

I'm using iA Writer on my new iPad. I've opted to store doc's from this app on iCloud. Now I'm unable to access iCloud and retrieve my doc's so I can continue writing. Needless to say this is very frustrating. Is there a solution for this issue?

Please, need help. I'm using iA Writer. I opted to store doc's on iCloud and now I find I'm not able to access iCloud in order to retrieve said doc's. A solution to this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Satya

iA Writer on iDevice:
Look at the Storage List, there should be an iCloud entry (along with iPad/iPod/iPhone, and Dropbox). Choose iCloud to get a list of documents.
To write a new file: Be sure to have iCloud chosen in Storage. Create new doc, write and click on the Storage list. File is written to iCloud.
iA Wrtier on Mac:
Write file and save locally, then choose: File>iCloud>Move to iCloud.
To read a file: File>iCloud>[choose file name]
I should add that files read by iA Writer must be files created by iA Writer, either on same device/computer or another.
-- OR --
I may have misunderstood your post. If my ipad is not connected to the internet, I can still open a file I had saved on iCloud (only this is the "local" copy of it). When I'm done, it's saved locally but when I turn on wifi and access the file again and then press the Storage List icon, the file is saved to iCloud. Are you saying that you can't open a local copy when not connected to wifi?

When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in?

It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.

How do I start a specific app on my iMac at 0700 each day? I used to be able to do this through an iCal Alert, but this facility seems to have recently been removed.

I need to have the app Money start automatically at 0700 each day so that I get automatic notification of billos to pay today. I used to be able to do this through an apple script, then more recently through a standard alert within iCal. But things seem to have changed and that no longer works. I have tried adding an attachment to the daily event but that also does not work, and there seems to be no recent documentstion/help which assists me.

Problem solved. Use a calenday which is on the Mac, not on iCloud. Then set up a daily event and use Custom Alert to open the .app file.

Using browser javascript to copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Air app.

I have posted this question on reader forum as well, but I think it is more suited here...
I am trying to create a note-taking application in air. I want to extract selected text from pdf file as a string object or to the clipboard.
Obviously, all pdfs in my local storage will not be scripted to recieve postMessages and act accordingly, and that is not practical either. So, my problem is, how can I copy the selected text in the pdf file (opened as an object in htmlloader within my Air app) to clipboard or directly in another control by say clicking a button in air application? I suppose, this is possible using javascript, however, I don't know which reader methods are exposed to the wrapper htmlloader control. In short, I want to execute app.execMenuItem("Copy") command through htmlloader javascript. Any alternate solutions are also welcome.
This is similar to passing inbuilt commands/methods/functions (of adobe reader) to pdf-reader plugin embedded in a webpage via javascript. This is possible in IE where the pdf is rendered as activex object, and hence JSObject interface of pdf document/reader is accessible to the browser javascript. I have also read that this same JSObject is accessible to VB as interface for IAC, so as the Air is Adobe's own product, I was wondering if equivalent of JSObject is accessible to htmlloader control as well.
Thanks in advance...
Mits

Thank you Thom for your reply...
from
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
...Through JavaScript extensions, the viewer application and its plug-ins expose much of their functionality to document authors, form designers, and plug-in developers...
As it is explicitly mentioned, that the functionality of adobe reader are exposed for plugin development, I thought someone here might have used external javascript to execute some safe methods in adobe reader. The functionality (i.e. external javascript interface-JSObject) is already available for VB programmers to develop IAC. Further, the Acrobat SDK example called "AcroPDFinHML" shows how one can embed a pdf-reader in a html page and execute some safe methods (like gotonextpage(), zooming etc.) in IE as ActiveX plugin. I have checked it myself for adobe reader 9, and it works perfectly, so there is no security issue as such to implement the same for another browser (like in my case, the htmlloader control in flex/air app).
I intend to create a note taking application in air, where it is very much required that I should be able to copy selected text from various pdf documents, that are open in my app, and subsequently paste/collect/save the collected notes and process them afterwords (offcourse, from the pdfs that allow me copying text). However, it is not happening for me here. As the pdfs are opened through adobe reader plugin, it does not register the copy command executed by my air app. It registers the system level copy command (by keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C), but my air app has no way to execute the system level copy command programmatically. So I am kind of stuck here...
Thanks again for your reply. Having known what am I intend to accomplish, any other (may be alternative) solutions will be appreciated nonetheless...

Cannot Open File In Reader 9 After Using CutePDF Writer

After using CutePDF Writer to output a file from the print screen of Adobe Reader 9.0, I am unable to open it. I get the error "Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged."
The file shows a Reader icon, but when I view it under Properties, it shows the file size as 0 kb. Something went wrong on export...
The file was created using Acrobat Pro 9.0.

You either used Cute or you used Acrobat. Which one?
If Cute was involved and the file shows 0kb, then it's a CutePDF issue. You'll want to talk to their people about it.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

Glad you found the answer. But something seems wrong. FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive. It's not advisable, but it should be possible. You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.
