Did you install ArcGIS after installing ArcPad? I have found that going in this order makes me lose the extension. The solution to this is uninstall ArcPad and then reinstall it. If that is not the case then try the suggestion listed at this page: 38344 - ArcPad Data Manager extension is not visible in ArcMap 10 This is the description of the above link: "After installing ArcPad 7.1.1 or 8.0 with ArcGIS Desktop 10, the ArcPad Data Manager extension is not visible in ArcMap. If ArcPad 10.0 is installed prior to ArcGIS 10.0, the Data Manager will also not appear." ... View more

There are a few things that I have seen that messed with my map services. 1) making sure all permissions were set the same (mostly meaning making sure they are all public). 2) making sure my actual path of my data is set the way you mentioned (web server/arcgis/rest/etc.) and not to a local server host. Sometimes my data got published funky and I could view my web maps fine since I was on the same network but no one else could (like a story map). 3) Make sure you can view this web map on another computer with possibly an outside connection (like, not on your local server). ...

Have you tried dragging the points layer above the basemap layer (by clicking and holding with your mouse and dragging it upwards)? ... View more

Much of the time a story map pulls from an existing web map. If that web map has layers in it, they should be reflected in the story map. Is that not happening on your end? Is there a way to post a link to your story map? ... View more

Yes, unfortunately. When you republish a service, you can only do so much to that service before it gets really screwed up. I only re-publish the same service if I am just changing some geometry, attributes, or simple symbology. If I change anything "bigger" than that (like re-ordering, field names, adding a field, etc), then I have to make a completely new service because it will not reflect well in AGOL. ... View more

Which story maps have you seen that fade into another? Can you give an example or post a link? ... View more

I am not sure if this was addressed or not but have you installed the Oracle 11g client? Oracle Database 11g Release 2 for Microsoft Windows (x64) ... View more

That's true about the tons of samples. I have seen lots. I feel like I really want to understand it all and want to be able to know how to create something from scratch (though I will likely always start with some existing stuff and modify it). ... View more

I do not think that you can change the size of these thumbnails in Esri's out-of-the-box galleries. You will likely have to custom create your own landing page to make a gallery of maps/apps in order to make the thumbnails different. Though, I could be wrong... ... View more

Thanks! I'll have to check it out. ... View more

Hmm, that sounds pretty useful. Does the book come in a digital format or is it just paper? ... View more

Have you tried using an external hosting site like Flickr.com? I feel a little more comfortable with those since I know that my pictures will be there and Flickr has 1 Terabyte of free space for you to use as well. They may even be faster to load vs. esri's site. Though, I have not tested performances between the two. ... View more

These seems like a good approach. I have played around a little with the "build your first app" page you listed. I wonder if I can get my organization to buy that book... Does the book have a lot of coding sections or is it mostly Web Maps in general? ... View more
