When will Windows 7 and IE 8 compatability roll out?

If you look at this thread 'Xcelsius 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 (FP3.1) is now available' there is a "upcoming major Xcelsius release" mentioned but no dates or timelines. When is this going to happen and will Windows 7 compatability be part of that release? I have customers right now that want to know, if they integrate some Xelcius dashboards into our web application, will this work in Windows 7 and IE 8.
I also noticed the expiration notice on 2008 Engage Server going away. I have Xcelsius 2008 Engage (not the server version). What is the estimated life cycle on it in light of the Server version going away next year.
P.S. I am aware of the XP compatability mode in Windows 7 but I have a hard time believing SAP would consider that a permanent solution.

Hi Matt,
I understand you can't give any detailed timelines yet, as I can only assume you guys are still early in the development cycle for some of the fixes and updates required for Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility. My problem is I have customers that want a reporting solution integrated into the web application my company provides as a product. We want to sell them on the idea of buying Xcelsius licenses and developing their own metrics reports that would seamlessly integrate with our application and we provide an API for them to do that right now. It becomes a pretty tough sell when they ask about Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility and I can't really tell them anything definitive other then "I think SAP is working on that?". Its not like were talking about an obscure OS and browser, this is Microsoft after all and its my understanding they have a bit of a following . I would, at the very least, like to be able to confidently tell my customers that SAP is commited to making sure Xcelsius 2008 Engage (or what ever the next version name is ) will be fully compatible with Windows 7 and IE 8 and that the long term plan is the end of this year? middle of next year? some other non-ridiculous time frame so I can assure them its not a waste of time waiting for this product to be updated?
You mentioned any SWF files we create (at least it was implied) should run as long as Flash Player 9 or later is installed? Is that truly the case? The reason I ask is the Adobe web site says the Flash Player 10 is compatible with both Windows 7 and IE8. Is the only issue driving this compatability problem the version of the Flash Player installed, or are there still some pieces of Xcelsius that need to be rewritten to accomodate Windows 7 and IE8 regardless of what version of Flash Player is resident? Bottom line is what can I tell my customers to reassure them this is the correct path forward for their reporting needs?
Thanks,
Matt

When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5? I have a new Mac book Pro 2013 and cannot install. Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.
Apple please advise.

Apple does not respond in these forums except occasionally an Apple employee will stop by. If you want to contact Apple, use the contact us link at the bottom of this page.
With respect to your question "When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5?" you are asking us to speculate as to when Apple will release their drivers supporting Windows 8.1. We do not know, and we can not speculate as to when. From the terms of use of this forum:
"Unless otherwise noted, do not add Submissions about nontechnical topics, including:
Speculations or rumors about unannounced products."
The planned dates of production or release of Windows 8.1 drivers are speculation about the drivers.
With respect to your other question, "Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.". I answered you.

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
Printing is fine.
When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
"The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
Connection to the computer is lost
The scanner is in use
OCR application is not installed"
My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
The printer has a static IP address;
Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
Appreciate any insights into this problem.
I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
Any ideas?
regards,
Motorbike

You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible. If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

when will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones?

I wish I had some way to give you hope but unfortunately you're definitely not the first person to ask this question. VZW has made it clear that they aren't in the customer service business so we now must take matter into our own hands. Write directly to the CEO.
You can contact Mr. Daniel S. Mead (CEO) by going to www.verizon.com/about/leader/contact/73.
Maybe if enough of us say something they'll try to at least pretend they appreciate our money.

When will my verizon and skpe be available

when will my verizon and skpe be available
tried marketplace download says not compatible

While I understand that you can find the leaked My Verizon App and you can find the leaked Skype (which by the way doesn't include the security fixes in the released Skype for Android) with just a little bit of searching, these applications should have been updated and released by now. Both have been out in "Leak" for for over a month now and have proven succesful in large scale testing. I think that it is unfortunate that Verizon has not released them. It really makes me wonder what they are waiting for. Unless the Gingerbread release is closer than we all think it is and they are waiting for that to push out all these application updates, it just doesn't make much sense. At least not to me.

When will the unlocked and contract free iPhone 5 be available, and what is the price going to be

Im From Georgia(Republic of), and im wondering when will the unlocked and contract free version on the new iPhone 5 be available, and is the price going to be the same as iPhone 4S's($650)? IF it will be available for pre-ordering i want to buy one.

Assuming you are referring to the US, no one knows for sure but probably 4 to 6 weeks after the release of the iPhone 5 for the same price as the 4s.

Hi i was wondering, my iphone(iOS 7.0.3) cant sync or cannot be read on my itunes(11.1.3.8) on my windows 8.1. So i was wondering if anyone knew when will windows and itunes be compatible officially? or is there another way to fix without waiting?

Hi anyone can help? Cause i cannot sync my iphone(iOS 7.03) on my itunes(11.1.3.8) on windows 8.1? I heard that it is because windows 8.1 and itunes 11.1 " ain't compatible. So i was wondering if anyone knew when will they be compatible or is there another method without me doing much"harm" to my itunes or windows? Please your help is most wanted!!!

I have 8.1 and iTunes and its working. My cloud doesn't so I had to remove the 'sync contacts and calendar to the cloud' and to back to the old say, but I just synced my iPad and iPos (both running 7.0.3) last night and it worked.
There are features with 8.1 that may be messing things up. For example there's a setting when you upgrade to 8.1 where you can turn off the automatic install of drivers. With devices, every time the iOS and iTunes updates there is a new driver to make your device visible on a computer. If you turn off that auto install then you may have blocked your computer from getting that driver.
In addition, with iOS7 there came the 'do you trust this computer' which is a choice you have to make on your device. If you tell your device no, then it may have issues connecting to your computer.

Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8. This was months ago.
I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

Windows 8 and Apple product compatibility

Good Morning,
The other day, I went to purchase a new Windows-based computer at a non-Apple retail store. I would purchase a Macbook, but budget limitations. When I asked what Windows computer would be best for basic usage (managing IPOD, managing IPADs, managing music, and basic computing), I was told that Windows 8 is not compatible with Apple products. The retail personnel said that he had numerous returns of products because their Iproducts were not syncing (in fact he returned his computer). I have researched the communities and found that there are numerous solutions and reasons for the problem, but the variation in the answers leads me to think that the core issue has not been addressed.
Question:
1. Has the compatibility issues between Windows 8 and Iproducts been corrected? If not, is there any news of the compatibility being addressed in a future release?
2. What is the exact problem and how can it be corrected if I do purchase a new Windows computer?
Thanks,
Brian

Unexpected restarts when deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates

Hi
I am deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates via SCCM 2012 sp1 and have a couple of questions
Question 1)
The updates are made available to clients at 9am on a Tuesday morning. The users get notification that updates are available to install. If the user doesn't install the updates, the client will wait 24hrs and then install the updates automatically.
We have set the restart behaviour to 24hrs, so again, the user will get a pop up saying that their machine will restart in 24hours. In my testing I have seen no more pop ups appear until 15 minutes before a restart is due and then a window appears
with a count down of 15 minutes but I think this might be standard behaviour. I am not sure why there are options in the client settings to remind users frequently about the impending installation of update but not of impending restarts. The
reason we delay the restart by 24hrs is to give the users the chance to restart their machines over night. Is there a way of providing more notifications of computer restarts ? The User Experience in the deployment of the updates is set to
Display in software center and show all notifications. We have Group Policy set to Not Configured for Windows Updates apart from the user policy
Remove Access To All Windows Update Features which is set to 0 - Do not show any notifications.
Question 2)
Another issue we have is that we have client machines restarting without any warning at all. I have tested setting the user experience to suppress restarts but have the issue regardless. It appears that this happens if the client
is off when the deployment schedule reaches its deadline and the restart time is missed. I had one user who did restart her machine because she was prompted to restart. When the machine came back up it looked like it installed another update and
then just resarted without any warning. This hasn't happened often but a one user was on a Lync call when the restart occured and she was not happy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Daniel
I have done an RSOP on a VM I am testing and only have the user policy :
Remove Access To All Windows Update Features which is set to
0 - Do not show any notifications.
And the machine policy :
Specify intranet Microsoft update service location which is set to
Enabled The GPO Name is Local Group Policy
The policies look OK.
As a test I have deployed some updates and set the user experience to
Display all notifications and set the Suppress restarts
for both Servers and Workstations. When I deploy the updates, I get notifications that the updates are installing (when the deadline is met) and then I get a prompt telling me that a restart is required. I also get a windo letting me restart now
or I can ask to be reminded in x number of hours. This seems like expected behaviour. It does not force a restart. However if I leave the VM on over night I come in the following day and can see it has restarted. looking at the WindowsUpdate.log I
can see that at 3:15am the line AUInvoking reboot system. It looks like Windows Updates and not SCCM is forcing the restart.
Thanks

When will Two Towers and Return of the King Extended edition be available in the UK?

When will the Two Towers and Return of the King be available in the UK. Fellowship of the Ring and the Hobbit are already available, and the other two are available in the US and Australia. So when can we expect them here?

We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know. If/when they might be available here will depend upon whether the UK rights-holder grants Apple a license to sell them here - you can try requesting that they be added, but unless the rights-holders agree to it then it can't happen : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

When will renting films and series be available in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands we still can't rent films. When will it be made available.

You are not talking to apple here, this is a user forum. No one would be able to answer this. It is likely due to licensing at any rate.
