Adobe Captivate 5.5 project - slides not playing through automatically

Hello,
This is my TOC on an Adobe Captivate 5.5 project I am working on. Slide 1 transitions to 2 no problem. However during Slide 2 I notice the time counter stops and then you have to click on to Slide 3 manually to play it ( it does not just play through). This happens again from 3-4 etc. I want the recording to play through and the viewer can decide to stop/resume/move to different chapters...
Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Probably you have an interactive object with a pause on that second slide. That is not visible on a TOC, please post a screenshot of the timeline of Slide 2. How did you create the file?

Audio from Captivate 6 project will not play on iPad

Developing simple iPad test in Captivate 6 but audio will not play on iPad, works fine in browser. Error message from Safari log /ar/St Ad0.mp3 error code = 4 n/w state = 3; another error reads ..assets/js/CPLibrary.js line 15861ar/St Ad0.mp3 gotStuck@0*. Our "test pad" is first generation, uncertain of iOS version. The slides with basic interaction works fine, graphics look good but no audio.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Could you please share the following information:
1. Which server are you using to publish the content on Ipad?
2. Which IOS Version?
Please share the sample project or the published output with the mp3 file, so that we can investigate further. (Upload the files acrobat.com and send the link to [email protected])
Thanks,

"Part of the project was not played" error

I just got a brand new iMac--double the number or processors and twice the RAM as the old one--and I keep getting this error in Garageband:
Part of the project was not played
This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time.
To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
This issue only rarely cropped up on my old machine, and it was usually because the computer was chugging away on too many projects at once. I am editing a podcast which has two (rather long) audio tracks.
I have quite all other applications.
I have fixed permissions.
I have tried from another user account.
I have deleted prefs files.
I have reinstalled Garageband.
Nothing is helping. This is very frustrating.
Any guidance you could give me would be EXTREMELY appreciated!
Thanks!
Evan

In my case, the culprit was backups and disk-related software eating large amounts of CPU.
I recently ran into this problem with a very small project. Even after locking all tracks, I could not record all the way through the project without getting "project not played".
One pattern I noticed was that I could never get through the whole project when Time Machine was backing up. So I turned off TM and tried again.
Even then, I couldn't get all the way through. Running Activity Monitor, I could see that WD's disk software (came with the My Book drive I use for backup), would periodically consume a big chunk of CPU, even though I wasn't using the WD disk... even if I dismounted the drive. So I uninstalled the WD software.
With this change, Activity Monitor shows ~0% CPU. TM can still give problems, so I shut it down when I record.
Now GB runs fine, even with multiple tracks unlocked.
Moral: use Activity Monitor to make sure something isn't chewing up too much CPU. It may be an intermittent load, which makes it harder to see. But a big burst in non-GB CPU activity can stop GB, even if the burst is brief.

I can listen to ITunes on my ipad on a headset but they will not play through the speaker

I can play I tunes on my iPad and listen on a headset but the iPad will not play through the built in speaker

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

My iPod touch is not playing through my stero

My iPod touch 4g is not playing through my stero. My stero has a dock that you can plug in your iPod or iPhone and you are able to select music to listen to. My iPod used to be able to do it but now it won't. My iPod shows that it is conected, but everytime I try to pres play on a song it will not play through the speakers of my stero. It does say it is playing, but it is not playing through the speakers of my stero. My steros speakers work just fine. It did however play my dads iPhone, so I know it is just my iPod touch.

No good.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

My ipod is not playing through my headphones but plays out loud

My ipod is playing music out loud but will not play through

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings

My itune music videos will not play through my soundlink air

Why do my itune music videos not play through my Bose Soundlink Air? My downloaded music plays fine. Also my music videos play through my iTouch its just through my Mac computer they won't.

I have had a almost identical problem but with windows 8 and with the internal speakers because i am using a laptop

Sound not playing through any device.

Sound will not play through any device I try. I tired re installing all the drivers messing around with the playback device
and sound mixer and tried going through the audio jack in the back the headphone jack in the front hdmi to my tv and usb wireless headset none of them worked. and tried them all on with something other than my pc and the devices themselves work. i honestly
dont know what else to try is it something with windows or maybe my graphics card or something else? please help.

Hi Kevinwido,
When did this issue occur ?Have you made any modifications to the machine ? Will the built-in sound device work ?Have you tried to update the motherboard from the manufacturer website to have a check ?
You may need to download the sound card driver from the manufacturer for the sound devices to have a check.
If only the outer device won`t work and both of them are USB devices ,it is recommended to reinstall the USB controller driver, too .
If the issue occured recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point to have a check. Please note we will miss some configurations after the restore point .
Best regards

MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack - NB 550D

Hi
MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack. Is this because I have not setup Realtek Audio Manager correctly?.
Also is there any way to play the MP3 through a USB Port
Thx

Hi
What notebook do you have?
The mic jack records the audio signal. But I assume you want to use the mic jack an line-in. Right?
Usually you have to set the default device in recording tab.
In control panel -> sound -> recording tab.
If you will not see any further devices but only mic jack then you should click right and should enable the options; show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
Possibly then you could enable line in.
Otherwise such option is not available and not possible

Audiobook playlist not playing through

I have an audiobook playlist that does not play through (can repeat audiobook tracks or play a single track on repeat, but not play through the list). I have used this function before, but it is not working now. Suggestions?
To clarify:
Repeat plays a track once
Repeat off plays a track once
Repeat(1) plays the same track repeatedly
I want the playlist to play through in sequence. It works fine on iTunes on my Mac.

I just tried that on my 5th gen nano, and it does seem to work that way for audiobooks. I put audiobooks on a playlist, and tried to play them (on the iPod) both directly and through the playlist. It goes back to the list of audiobooks at the end of each item. So, I think that's the way the iPod's software is designed, for playing audiobooks.
The only work-around I can think of is to change the Media Kind of the audiobooks (the ones on your playlist) from Audiobook to Music. You can do this by selecting all of the audiobooks on that playlists at the same time, and doing a Get Info on the selection (right-click - Get Info). On the Info window's Options tab, change Media Kind to Music. Then, iTunes and the iPod will treat the audiobooks as songs. You'll need to sync the audiobooks again. If you use automatic syncing, select the playlist on the iPod's Music screen (in iTunes), not the Audiobooks screen. The problem is that, since they are being treated as songs, the iPod will not save the current location (when you stop listening) and offer to Resume at that location (later).

Captivate 5 - Text Animation Does not Play on Slide 1 Only

I am using Captivate 5, updated to 5.0.1, with Windows XP, SP 3. Publishing as Export to HTML.
The problem I am ecperienced just started in the last few days, sometime after 3/18/2011. I think this issue is different from similar problems reported in January, which seemed to impact all text animations.
The problem is that text animations on slide 1 work OK in slide preview mode, but do not display at all in project preview mode or when published.
Text animations work on all other slides. If I put a .blank slide in the project, so the failing slide 1 becomes slide 2, then the text animation plays OK, but I do not like such a workaround.
In deliverables generated on 3/18, the text animations work on slide 1. If I regerate the same projects, the slide 1 animations no longer work.
Has something been changed with Captivate 5 or Flash that is causing this problem? Any suggestions?

I don't think you are missing anything. I am using the "Light_PAssage" animantion, but switching to the one you used has no impact.
For me, if there is a text animation on slide one, it will play in File->Preview->Play Slide. It will not play in FIle->Preview->Project, From this slide, or Next 5 slides.
The issue occurs in all my Captivate 5 projects, including projects that previously generated properly working outputs as recently as 2/23/2011.
Is it possible it's related to Flash player? I am using Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.152.26.
I will send an example cptx to your email address. The example includes a blank slide one, and the text on slide 2 plays as expected in the previews and in the generated output. If I remove the blank slide 1, the text animation on the new slide 1 no longer plays.
Thanks.

Adobe Captivate 5.5 file could not open project

After copying/pasting a few Captivate slides from one project to another, we received the following message and can not open the file any more.
Any advice would be appreciated. Should we insert slides from one Captivate to another someway differently than copy/paste?

Adobe Captivate 6 - Interactive Widgets and Resume Playing Timeline?!

Hello! I am using Adobe Captivate 6 to work on several training projects and the slides where I have inserted interactive widgets (such as accordion theme), along with the normal text to speech and timed text boxes, when I go to publish in either html or swf those particular slides pause the whole presentation/training. Unlike the other slides that continue/play the timeline when entered these particular slides (with interactive widgets) do not do the same and pause the presentation (you have to press the play button on the menu bar to continue with narrative and I'm trying to have it play automatically). Does anyone know how I may go about having these particular slides not pause the presentation and continue playing the timeline. I've exhausted all measures and need help. Thank you.

In Captivate 6, all learning interactions (accordions is not an interactive
widget at all) were pausing the slide at the first frame, sorry. That has
changed later. In 7 and present version, most learning interactions do not pause at all (with the exception of some games), you have to pause yourself to allow time for the interaction.
Have some workarounds, but none for what you want. Keep the interactions on a separate slide is the only recommendation I can offer.
As for my first remark about Accordions not being an interactive widget, last night I tried to explain some concepts of the interactions to another user in this thread: Tracking Learning Interactions
