Problems with Presentation Director

Hello,
I enjoy really to work with the Presentation Director (PD); I also enjoy now working with Windows 7 x64
But the problem is, that the PD doesn't work for me on Win 7
In the best case it does nothing, in the worst case it tries to change the settings ever and ever again and makes it impossible to do anything else! A logoff is at the latter the only help ...
Is there any solution in sight?
Thank you very much!
With very kind regards,
sonny

Yeah, what Hubert said. I kind of stopped using Presentation Director when Vista came out - although Presentation Director works OK (it does what it says it will do), I honestly don't think it is necessary any more.
I frequently switch back and forth between a dock with an external DVI monitor, using the laptop by itself, and using the laptop with an external projector. The computer manages to figure out on its own what it is connected to and send the signal out to the right device. I don't think I have used Presentation Director since the end of 2007. I just don't need it anymore, and I find that the "simpler" I can keep the computer (meaning, the fewer the number of little helper applications are installed), the easier life is.
Truth be told, same goes for Access Connections, although I don't use a VPN or anything complex like that.

Problem with application directories on JDS - Solaris 10 11/06 sparc

I am running a fully patched JDS on a Sun Blade with Solaris 10 11/06 sparc.
After installing, removing, and re-installing Sun Download Manager 2.0 (web start version) I am having problems with JDS application menus.
I used File Manager (probably accessed through the This Computer Desktop icon) to move around directories under applications:///. This information is saved in ~/.gnome2/vfolders. Folders available from the Launch menu under Applications were all messed up, but I solved this problem by removing all contents of ~/.gnome2/vfolders and restarting JDS.
Now, when I enter the This Computer icon on the Desktop, and click on the Applications icon in there, there is an extra Applications icon there that is not associated with any application and cannot be removed (when I try and trash it, I get an error saying something about "not on same file system"). Also, when I enter the Internet folder under Applications, there is an extra Internet icon in there that also cannot be removed. These extra folders are not seen when accessing the Applications menu from the Launch menu. How can I clean up these "bad" launchers, or folders, or whatever they are, that appear to exist only under the Applications directory accessible through This Computer (computer:///)?
Thank you...

Maybe the answer is here:

To Add a Menu Using Menu Files
To add a menu for all users, perform the following steps:
1. Create a directory entry file for the item that you want to add. Create the directory entry file in the /usr/share/gnome/vfolders directory. For more information about directory entry files, see Directory Entry Files.
2. Locate the vfolder information file for the location where you want to add the menu. For example, to add a menu to the Applications menu, locate the file /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info.
3. In the vfolder information file, add a <Folder> element for the new menu. For more information about vfolder information files, see Vfolders and Menus.
The next time users log in, the menu is in the assigned location.

Problems with moving directories

Hi, i have a problem with moving one subdirectory from one directory to another. Here is the code
     public static boolean moveToDir(String filename, String dirname)
     if( XFileUtils.fileExists(filename) )
     return onMoveSingleFileToDir(filename,dirname);
     File dir = new File(".");
     FileFilter fileFilter = new WildcardFilter(filename);
     File[] files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);
     boolean _flag = true;
     for (int i = 0; i < files.length; _i++)
     String _cfilename = files[_i].getName();
     if( !XFileUtils.fileExists(_cfilename) )
     throw new RuntimeException("file or dir does not exists"+_cfilename);
flag = flag && onMoveSingleFileToDir(_cfilename, dirname);
     return _flag;
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much!
Elias

Also, a sample DAD would look like:
<Location /database1>
SetHandler pls_handler
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDatabaseUsername APEX_PUBLIC_USER
PlsqlDatabasePassword This_Password
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString database1 TNSFormat
PlsqlDocumentTablename wwv_flow_file_objects$
PlsqlDocumentPath docs
PlsqlDocumentProcedure wwv_flow_file_mgr.process_download
PlsqlDefaultPage f?p=130
</Location>
<Location /database2>
SetHandler pls_handler
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDatabaseUsername APEX_PUBLIC_USER
PlsqlDatabasePassword This_Password
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString database2 TNSFormat
PlsqlDocumentTablename wwv_flow_file_objects$
PlsqlDocumentPath docs
PlsqlDocumentProcedure wwv_flow_file_mgr.process_download
PlsqlDefaultPage f?p=131
</Location>
The tnsnames.ora file would then look similar to:
DATABASE1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = the_database_server)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = DATABASE1)
DATABASE2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = the_database_server)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = DATABASE2)
Again, these are edited copies of what I use, but something similar should work for you.

Problem with presenter screen

Hi --
I tried using the presenter mode for the first time this week (just got a new macbook pro that supports it), but I had a terrible problem when I hooked my mac up to the projector: the audience slides were displayed on my macbook screen, and the presenters slides were displayed on the large projector screen! I tried everything I could think of in both the systems preferences and Keynote preferences, but couldn't switch the audience and presenter displays -- finally had to just turn it off and use mirroring in the system preferences.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
thanks in advance!

In the Display preferences, when you have two displays hooked up, you will have the option to specify which display is your main display (the one with the menubar) and which is the secondary display. You do this by dragging the displays (and/or menubar) shown in the Display preferences to set them up as you like. Doing this will allow you to arrange what appears on your laptop and what appears on the projector.

Problem with presenter (Nokia 6233)

I can't seem to get presenter to work with my phone. I start the application on my computer, I start it on my phone, then I get the phone to search for connections -> it finds my computer, but when I try to connect, the phone says:
"Connection failed. Make sure Bluetooth device on the PC is ready and try again".
I've tried everything and can't seem to get it to work. Any advice???
I have no problems using the PC suite for transferring files or anything, just the presenter.Message Edited by kicz on 14-Sep-2006

I also had a prob with this... Assuming your bluetooth is working:
PC app can be found at:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4149109
Install this application just by running the executable.
Java app for your phone can be found at:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4174140
Copy both the JAR and JAD, then use PC Suite to "Install Application" to your phone.
I added another bluetooth serial port on COM10 then set Presenter (PC) to use COM10. I think the phone wouldn't connect because something else had locked my port. To add another bluetooth serial port (Windows XP SP2):
-> Start
-> Control Panel
-> Bluetooth Configuration
-> Local Services (this is for inbound connections, ignore the "Client Applications")
-> Add Serial Device (this will cause a few screens to pop up go through the new hardware found process...)
-> in the new window, give the title something like "Bluetooth Serial Port - Presenter".
-> make note of the COM Port listed here
-> uncheck the "Secure connection"
-> click "OK"
Now open up presenter and set it to the COM port you've just added (mine initially was COM10).
On your phone, go to the Presenter application and select your computer as the device to connect to and wallah! Hopefully that helps someone.
Thanks.
Dan.

Problem with home directories NOT in Users and Workgroup manager

I am setting up a Leopard server (10.5.3) with the users directories in /h1. This is mounted as /Volumes/h1.
It is exported under AFP as /h1.
When I try to get Workgroup manager to create a home directory, I can enter the home directory as:
afp://quattro.innocon.com/h1
path is 'user'
Full path is:
/Network/Servers/quattro.innocon.com/Volumes/h1
However, when I try to log in as this this user, it says that the directory /Network/Servers/quattro.innocon.com/h1/username does not exist.
I cannot seem to figure out why the 'Volumes' part of the full path is being lost.
Any ideas on how to get this right?

have you checked to see if /Network/Servers/quattro.innocon.com exists?
I'm having ALOT of issues with automount not picking up on the mount-maps set by Open Directory.. If anyone has any solutions on this it would be great.

Problem with Presenter 9

After much trial-and-error I've discovered that the Presenter add-in for Powerpoint only works when Powerpoint is opened using RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
If powerpoint is opened normally without administrator privileges, the add-in becomes disabled. Trying to remove it and re-add it gives the following error message:
MENULAUNCHER.DLL IS NOT A VALID OFFICE ADD-IN.
What do I need to do to get the presenter add-in to work properly without having to run with administrator privileges?
Information about my system is :
1.Windows 8. 64 bit.
2. Office 2013 (Office 365 Home Premium). 32 bit.
3. Adobe Presenter 9. 32 bit.
The Presenter installer files I used are:
/CPTL/9/win32/Presenter_9_LS21.7z and /CPTL/9/win32/Presenter_9_LS21.7z and /CPTL/9/win32/Presenter_9_LS21.exe
Thanks.

Problem with Tomcat directories

I'd instaled the Tomcat container and hierarchy my Tomcat's directories seems very strange. I don't known where I have put my servlet file sources ( *.java, *.class and something else?) . Which directories ? How can I start my servlets by adress?

In Import, check which base folder you are importing into. I have a feeling you are importing into "S:\" instead of "S:\Sail".
How to resolve these?
For existing folders, move all subfolders of "S:\2010" to "S:\sail\2010". You cannot move all at once, only one by one.
For future imports, be careful with the base folder in the Import dialog.

Hello all. Having a problem with presenter 10.

I recorded a presentation and saved it to my computer. Shouldn't I be able to preview the the presentation by going to the power point and selecting preview?

If you are selecting the Preview button in the Presenter ribbon in PPT, then yes.
What is the problem you are having?

Problems with FLV directories

I am having some problems getting to the videos in my
AppsDir. I have been searching the forums and documents for an
answer, but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
In this file
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server
2\conf\_defaultRoot_\_defaultVHost_\Vhost.xml
There is a line I modified:
<AppsDir>${VHOST.APPSDIR};E:\videos</AppsDir>
I just added the ";E:\videos" to the ${VHOST.APPSDIR} that
was already there. ${VHOST.APPSDIR} applies to the first directory
listed directly below
Picks up movies here
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server
2\applications\Test1\streams\_definst_
and here
E:\videos\Test2\streams\_definst_
just fine
I can get to a movie called "C:\Program
Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server
2\applications\Test1\streams\_definst_\testrt.flv" like:
<track>
<title>Rob hill climbing - SAN</title>
<location>rtmp://127.0.0.1/Test1</location>
<identifier>testrt</identifier>
<meta rel="type">rtmp</meta>
</track>
and I can get to a movie called
"E:\videos\Test2\streams\_definst_\testrt.flv":
<track>
<title>Rob hill climbing - SAN</title>
<location>rtmp://127.0.0.1/Test2</location>
<identifier>testrt</identifier>
<meta rel="type">rtmp</meta>
</track>
These both work just fine, however here is how my e:\videos
directory looks:
e:\videos\0212\VidArchive\JOESCHMOE\02\12\07
which is translated
e:\videos\[2 digit YEAR][2 digit
MONTH]\VidArchive\[AUTHOR]\[2 digit YEAR]\[2 digit MONTH]\[2 digit
DAY]
This is an idea of what the directories look like, they are
all different. The bottom line is how do you get rid of the
"streams\_definst_\" Is there a way around it?

instead of connecting to your application using the default
instance name (_definst_) try connecting using another instance
name, that will get rid of the "_definst_ "part.
for example if you use an instance name of instanceTest your
connection string should look like this:
rtmp://127.0.0.1/Test2/instanceTest
And to access your streams they should be placed in:
E:\videos\Test2\streams\instanceTest\
Now, if you wish to set up a streams directory straight to
E:\videos you have to go to
C:/../macromedia/fms/conf/_defaultRoot_/_defaultVHost_
Open the Vhost.xml file and look for the
<VirtualDirectory> section. In here you can add virtual
directories, as much as you like. To add a virtual directory add
tags like the following inside the VirtualDirectory section.
<Streams>streamsDir;E:\videos</Streams>
Now, place your videos in E:\videos. Now you can access them
from your flash client like this:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://127.0.0.1/Test2/instanceTest");
ns=new NetStream(nc);
ns.play("streamsDir\VIDEO"); //to play VIDEO.flv
The code above is not tested but that basically it. Note that
each virtual dir required an id, in this case I used "streamsDir".
hope this helps

Problem with Presenter Mobile (with an LMS)

I'm trying to view a Presenter presentation using the Adobe Presenter Mobile app. The presentation has been loaded into a Learning Management System (Desire2Learn) and it works fine on a computer. It won't load on the iPad. It just shows the introduction screen with the loading symbol circling.

Hi,
Could you please share me the link to the course you uploaded on the LMS.
You may mail me at [email protected]
Also, you need to give the link of the course in the browser on ipad and not directly on the Presenter mobile app.
Thanks,
Alpi

T61 and Presentation director 4.03

Hi, I have a T61 notebook, upgraded ThinkVantage software and now I am facing serious problem with Presentation director. When I open the presentation chooser with Fn+F7, I can see all old profiles to be imported from previous version. The problem is when I go to the schemes manager. In the manager's screen I only see a blank window with title "Fn+F7 menu" and "Display Scheme Name". No schemes are listed below :-( So I guess I can not add, remove, change schemes...
I tried to uninstall the manager and install it again, the old schemes disapeared but the problem persists...
Do you have any idea or help?... Thanks, B.

I've had problems with 4.03 version also. One T61 had profiles just messed up, Presentation profile was disappearing from the menu and was working only occasionally.
Also, on T60 all profiles were missing, if you tried to create a new one it would not recognize the monitor! I already did a reinstall but it didn't help at all.
New 4.0x version has been problematic from the beginning, I have faced numerous problems with it. Even the user interface is "messed up". I have taught people to use Presentation Director, but if this is the quality they will soon start experimenting with Windows and/or nvidia settings...
