Yes, this is the way it works. You can't be a member of an organization and also have personal content that doesn't belong to the organization. I equate this to having a work email address and a personal email address. When you leave your organization, you don't take your work email address with you. If your users have personal content, they should join your organization using a different account, or one that you create for them. Thanks, Mike ... View more

I tried this out myself and found that even though google docs is supposed to republish the data whenever it changes, it doesn't necessarily happen immediately. I had to manually republish to ensure the data was updated. Then, refreshing my web map showed the new data. So, I'm not sure what the time interval is for when you update your data in your google spreadsheet and google refreshes the web service that points to it. Thanks, Mike ... View more

I'm not sure why you are unable to log in to arcgis online from ArcGIS Desktop to publish your layer package.  What version of arcgis desktop are you running? As far as getting your layer package on your android phone, what are you trying to achieve? If you are expecting that you will be able to view the layer package on the phone, that is not supported. The phone supports displaying web maps only. You would need to get your data into a web map first. Unfortunately, there is no support for adding a layer package to a web map. Web maps support adding ArcGIS Server services, WMS, shapefiles, CSVs, GPX and KML. In the near future, ArcGIS Online will also support hosting your data for you, creating a service out of it. This feature is ArcGIS Online for Organizations, for which you will purchase a subscription to use. http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline/index.html Thanks, Mike ... View more

You can use your own basemap if it's accessible either as a WMS or an ArcGIS Server service. If you have your own data, but no server, then it would be possible to have ArcGIS Online host your service for you, if you purchase a subscription, via ArcGIS Online for Organizations. Subscriptions are not yet available for sale, but will be starting in the 3rd quarter of this year. http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline/index.html Thanks, Mike ... View more

Yes, I see the problem. There are two possible solutions... 1. Author the web map in English by temporarily changing your language setting in your profile. This will allow you to choose the magnitude field as a numeric field and symbolize with it. However, because you are adding this CSV by reference, the data will get read each time the web map is opened. What I'm not sure about is as the data changes, will the new earthquakes be symbolized correctly? I'm not sure. 2. Alternatively, you can download the data. Change all commas to semicolons. Then change the period as a decimal place to a comma. Importing the data in French will now work. In this case, however, the data will not dynamically update. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Are you trying to build a custom application with Flex? I'm not clear what query widget you're talking about. You might get a better response by posting your question in either the Flex API or Flex viewer forums. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Yes, this is ArcGIS Online for Organizations. The workflow is you author your maps in ArcGIS Desktop and publish them to ArcGIS Online. The data is moved to ArcGIS Online and a service is created from it. You can also turn shapefiles and CSVs into services as well. Here's a link for more information. http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline/index.html Thanks, Mike ... View more

In this case, you'd need only a Web server, not ArcGIS Server. You can download the code for the template application you've published. Then, you'd customize the code and deploy the web application to your own web server... Mike ... View more

I was able to symbolize the earthquakes by magnitude... Are you seeing the "Change Symbol" option on the layer in the Contents? I was able to change the symbol and use the Magnitude field to symbolize by size or color. Here's my map. http://bit.ly/KRzWgR Thanks, Mike ... View more

You could create then publish a map or layer package from ArcGIS Desktop. This will allow someone else with desktop to download the package and view its contents, data and all. Thanks, Mike ... View more

There is no way to update the features from a shapefile. Once a shapefile is loaded into a map, those features are stored in the map. Soon, we'll be releasing subscriptions for ArcGIS Online that will allow you to create services out of your data. You can update your data directly in the service and any web map that references the service will immediately reflect changes made to the data. Thus, all of your symbolization and popup configuration will be retained. This will be the recommended workflow moving forward. Thanks, Mike ... View more

The simple fix is to remove some of the spaces you have in your column names. For example, you could replace them with underscores, or concatenate multiple words (Property Tax can become Property_Tax or PropertyTax). The technical reason why this particular CSV fails is because we support CSVs with commas or spaces (and a few others) as the delimiter. In this case we've made the wrong assumption as to what the delimiter is. Thanks, Mike ... View more
