Barbara, this isn't necessarily  a solution for finding the "ghostly feature service", but if you do have to create a new service and just need to update the URL in your maps, check out ArcGIS Online Assistant    Just log in with your user/pass...leave the default location, the log in should bring you to your Org account.  There are several tasks you can perform under "I want to..."    Until you find a solution to your ghost service problem, this might be a work around.  This is a Esri/ago-assistant · GitHub    project....I'm not involved, but have used the app successfully in the past.  But, I would recommend using the git hub page so you know more about it. ...

Johannes, can you supply more detail on the issue you are having?  It may help in getting others to respond to your question. Is the network failing something internal to your agency?  I'm assuming the only firewall settings that are needed are to be able to access the Internet, but I am not a firewall expert. But it may help for others to answer if they know if you can't see the main  http://www.arcgis.com/home/   at all, or if you are having issues accessing a personal or organizational account. ...

I see at least one of my users is using pro...time stamp about 20 minutes ago, so it's working for them.  I don't have pro handy to test myself. i Know they readjusted the beta numbers  yesterday and maybe continuing today.  If more beta/pre-release were assigned than are now available, after the beta numbers went away, I'm sure that could cause issues, With that said, AGOL seems sluggish right now for me, but system health says all is running fine. ...

Not that this will make any additional difference, but did you apply all the current patches available for ie9? Can I ask what type of course you are taking?  If in a classroom, is it only your computer that is having issues? If not in a classroom, do you have access to another machine that you can test it? What operating system are you using?  Win7 or win8 (or 8.1), or older XP, etc? ... View more

also, even in Firefox, if you log onto AGOL first, and then try geonet, you may get an error Click on the sign on using a different account, and it should let you sign in to geonet.  if they are supposed to be the same username and password, then see Timothy Hales‌ message above. ... View more

Although not free, the home use program is very inexpensive.  The basic rules "We ask that you use ArcGIS for Home Use only for personal, noncommercial projects."     It's a great option for learning the software.  check it out ArcGIS for Home Use Program | ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced for Personal Use ...

You didn't say which two types of browsers your tried, but I have had luck logging in to each with a different user/pass in Firefox....latest or fairly recent version. ... View more

Chance, My code is from an older version of ArcPad, and is a custom .vbs script.  There are more parts to this script, and it's calling a few other functions, but this may help.   Warning, this is NOT complete code. To grab the data, I create the point (objNewPoint), and capture the GPS.X, GPS.Y, GPS.Z and the GPS.Properties("PDOP")  (and SOG = speed on ground...we're in an airplane), that is I capture the GPS info.  For my purposes, I write them to global variables (e.g. PtZ, PtLat, etc) that I pass on to my other script that writes them to the file. Sub CreatePoint(strLayerName) 'create  location object at gps location   Dim objNewPoint,PtZ,PtLat,PtLon,PtX,PtY,PtPDOP,PtSOG   Set objNewPoint = Application.CreateAppObject("point")   objNewPoint.X = GPS.X   objNewPoint.Y = GPS.Y   objNewPoint.Z = GPS.Z 'added to get more accurate data in attribute table   PtZ   = objNewPoint.Z   PtLat = GPS.Latitude   PtLon = GPS.Longitude   PtX   = objNewPoint.X   PtY   = objNewPoint.Y   PtPDOP= GPS.Properties("PDOP")   PtSOG = GPS.Properties("SOG") 'add feature to shapefile and bring up data entry menu   If strLayerName = "animals" Then     If Not Application.Map.AddFeature(objNewPoint) Then       MsgBox "Error adding GPS Point.",vbExclamation,"Error"       objToolButton.Click       Exit Sub     End If   Else 'add feature to shapefile, no menu     If Not Application.Map.AddFeature (objNewPoint,"False") Then       MsgBox "Error adding GPS Point.",vbExclamation,"Error"       Exit Sub     End If   End If 'populate gps and other hidden fields   Call PopulateCommonfields(strLayerName,PtZ,PtLat,PtLon,PtX,PtY,PtPDOP,PtSOG) 'clear point object   Set objNewPoint = Nothing End Sub Then, I call another script o write to my shape file  (removed most of the script....by the objRS lines are the most important). sub PopulateCommonFields(strLayerName,PtZ,PtLat,PtLon,PtX,PtY,PtPDOP,PtSOG) '*** use to populate the common fields for  shapefile ***'   Dim objSelLayer, objRS   Set objSelLayer = Application.Map.SelectionLayer   Set objRS = objSelLayer.Records   objRS.Bookmark = Map.SelectionBookmark 'populate common fields     objRS.Fields.Item("Altitude").value = PtZ     objRS.Fields.Item("Latitude").value = PtLat     objRS.Fields.Item("Longitude").value = PtLon     objRS.Fields.Item("Xcoord").value = PtX     objRS.Fields.Item("Ycoord").value = PtY     objRS.Fields.Item("Pdop").value = PtPDOP     objRS.Fields.Item("PlaneMPH").value = PtSOG   objRS.Update   Set objRS = Nothing End Sub If you are strictly trying to do this with application builder, I don't have much experience with v8-10....but this may give you a hint on what you need to do. by the way, my code still runs in 10.x, it was just written in 6.x/7.x. ...

Although this may have nothing to do with it, we where getting an empty table when trying to clip two feature classes that were in two different projections.  In ArcMap, of course, if you have valid spatial reference assigned, the arcmap session will take the SR of the first feature class added, and the other will project on the fly.  But when we performed the clip, the projet-on-the-fly doesn't happen, so the result was blank. So first, in ArcCatalog, look at your raster to make sure it has a valid spatial reference.  If so, it should recognize it, but if you have it in an ArcMap session with a different projection, it may be having issues.  My guess is it is related to one of the inputs having a different projection. At least that is something to try.   The 9999999 error is pretty much the "anyone's guess" code. Good luck! ... View more

Simone, is you have IE11 installed, try uninstalling to ie9 or at least IE 10,    [uninstall can be done thru the normal Control Panel -Add/Remove Programs, but may need to "View installed updates"] If IE10, and it still doesn't work, I found a document on microsofte support page a while back (can't anymore) but I have the settings that need changing pinned to my wall, so could supply the info later, if that is the problem.or you would like to try. If you are already on ie9, then this wouldn't help. (you didn't mention if this was a standard setup in a class room, our your machine, so thought I would mention it, just in case) ... View more

Hi Sandy, Try "localhost"  (without the quotes) for the computer name.   If that doesn't work, you can try the IP address.  With the license manager and Desktop on the same machine, either of those should work, unless for some reason you do not have administrator rights on your machine.  My users have seen issues with setting the license manager when rights were blocked. Another possibility, which I have users that are having issues, especially on new machines (even when the "not set" has been corrected to IP), is to set the system variable. Below are the instructions I provide my users for updating the license manager variable.  This was written for XP/Win7, so may be a little different to access My Computer if using a different OS.   We typically enter the IP for the variable. A reboot with any of this of course never hurts. If none of the above helpsV Stuart Foote‌ is very fluent in all things licensing, and I'm sure he'll have other suggestions. ... View more

By default, the free (and organizational) accounts use the "ESRI default" print service, but I'm pretty sure they are not high res.  If you have access to ArcGIS Server, you can make a custom service that can make higher res output, and use custom templates if you like.  The tutorial for this is ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)   If you have access to a custom print service, you can point to the new service under My Organization->Edit->Utilities But assuming that you don't have access to Server, and can live without the higher resolution for the time being, you can "share" you map and use one of the templates that uses a print widget.  For exxmaple, the Basic template includes a print widget (button) that has a pulldown for two page sizes in either PDF or an Image. Playing with the templates is a good place to start. ... View more

hi Juan, You might want to supply a but more information, such as, are you logged into an organizational account, a free account, or the public arcgis.com ?  the ability and format of output can be controlled but the creator of the map, to some degree, but if you are viewing someone else map, or a public map, you may not be able to, depending on how it is presented. So, if you can supply a few more details on what you are trying to print, it will help others that maybe can help. ... View more
