Ryan, Were you able to successfully publish? If it worked, you will see a map service of the same name. Mike ... View more

So you can't even upload the SD file to My Content? I'm kind of stumped here... Maybe a call to Esri tech support is warranted. I suppose you can invite me to join your organization as a publisher and I can try from the inside. Mike ... View more

Turn on Chrome developer tools during the Publish step. Click the wrench, click Tools>Developer tools. THis will display a panel. Click the Network tab and you can watch requests go through. Look for any errors. Sometimes you see a red x in the lower right corner you can click on. ... View more

The embed and make web application options have been around a while now. I think embed was there from the beginning, make a web app, maybe a year? Mike ... View more

No, you could share web maps all along. However, there is a difference between a web map and a map service. A web map contains a set of layers derrived from shapefiles, CSVs, KML, WMS, GPX, ArcGIS Server map services, and now, ArcGIS Online hosted map services. There are some limitations in terms of the size of shapefiles, CSVs, KML, and GPX data that you can display in your web map. If you want to create your own map services, you can now purchase a subscription to ArcGIS Online. This allows you to create web services out of your data. For example, you can publish your map from ArcGIS Desktop and turn it into a service. Previously, you had to have your own server machines and ArcGIS Server to do so. Hope this helps, Mike ...

You should be able to do it. If you're working with a subscription (aka ArcGIS Online for organizations), you probably need to pass some credentials to search the organization's items. Sorry, I can't tell you how to do this. You might try cross posting in the JavaScript API forum. Mike ... View more

Yes, you want to look at the ArcGIS Portal API and possibly the JavaScript API http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisonline/help/#/About_the_ArcGIS_Portal_API/010q000000mv000000/ thanks, Mike ... View more

The workflow for setting the basemap in Explorer Online is slightly different. When you create a new map, choose the "advanced" option to set a custom basemap. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Can you put the URL in the description of the item instead? Mike ... View more

Do you have all the latest service packs installed? These issues are tough to debug here. I'd suggest calling Esri tech support. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Yes, when you add the layer to the web map, you can choose to "use as basemap". If you're adding from the Add>Search for layers option, you need to click on the layer name in the add panel to see the option to use as basemap. If you use the Add> layer from web option, and enter a URL, then you'll see a checkbox to set the layer as the basemap. Thanks, Mike ... View more

The size of the service definition is not an indicator of how big your tiled cache will be. It depends on how many scale levels you try to create. Do you see a message indicating the size of the cache in desktop? Do you have an item that represents the map service? If you look at the item details page of that item, there is an option to Manage Tiles. You can build tiles from here too. This will tell you how many tiles you will end up creating. If you're trying to create the full range of tiles for all scale levels, you probably don't have enough credits. Thanks, Mike ... View more
