Allow User to Close & Come Back

Hello, I will be distributing an authorware package and I
would like to give the user an option at the very beginning that
allows them to close the package if they don't think they will have
enough time to complete it and come back at a later time. Is this
possible in Authorware? Or once they start it, do they need to
finish it in that sitting.
Thanks!

The Login and Content show me files work together to
demonstrate how this
can be used in a multi-user environment as well. Something I
remember about
it that might not be documented. You should not try to return
to the login
because the records folder will be wrong. From the Login you
could jump to a
menu, then you could jump to content and back as much as
needed, but never
all the way back to the login.

HT201303 Has anyone experienced being a victim of GNU Emacs Api Emulations hacking thru URL's - Feeds - Email - Redirect - Data Scrabling and more? We are unable to stop them because they are super users. They come back and do more damage. Help Please.

We have been compromised within our businesses from an empolyee that was terminated with GNU Emac Api enulation program that has infiltrated all of our brand new Apple Computers. We made a decision to move to Mac's this year because of all our businesses being internet based and we are in several different platforms that require many different passcodes, email address, bank accounts, etc. It is not one seamless system that would address one email, password, bank account, etc.
Eacy time we change one segment of our business unit to move to the next one to fix, we go back to check the previous one that we changed and they have already been in the accounts and changed them so that we have to redo them.
The information is so broad and wide that the only way I know to ask this first questions - has anyone had this happen to them? We have seeked many avenues with law, experts, reformating our 2 momth old systems 2-3 times each and start over. They are the super users of this program and we can not get them out by changing passwords, accounts, etc. They have everything we do and make sure they keep changing it as we work on the next segment. They have cost our small business thousands of dollars already.
I am a victim of something that even the local forenic authority is stumped because they don't know where to start. We are not a banking instutition or 100 million dollar company to get the help we need. We don't want to find hackers like they have done to us, we want to get them stopped and get us back on track to start getting our businesses rebuilt.
Lots of stuff, but WE ARE BEGGING for HELP.
Apple Support today spent 3 hours with us on the phone and our suppot representative was awesome, but they also said it was big and we need to reach out to the Apple community to see if they heard of anything like this crime. They are in the URL's, RSS Feeds and ghosting everything we do.
I was told by our local Mac support that this was done by someone that was highly sophicated and they did not know many people that could do this type of damage. I can't image that someone in the Apple community would not know of someone that can assist. The one security company we contacted was around $25,000 to fix this aweful crime.
We just want them stopped and put in jail so we can go back to business before it destoys us completely. They even installed emacs on all of our Iphone and androids. WE are being taped, video recorded and eery key stroke is recored. They are only taking us down in middle America.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

Naive ex Mac user wants to come back!!

I was at the launch of the MAC in 1981 but for professional reasons was forced (eventually) to go the Windows route. I want to come in from the cold (but I still need to have some contact with the Windows environment). I presently have a very old Dell Inspiron 8500 Laptop. Can I have a recommendation as to what my recovery route should be. And does running Windows simulation on an Apple cause much degradation of performance?

Can I have a recommendation as to what my recovery route should be
Not really, as everyone's computing needs are different. Buy a Mac and install Windows on it and see where it takes you.
oes running Windows simulation on an Apple cause much degradation of performance?
Depends on how many resources you devote to the virtual machine.

Come back on the last item create

Many user need to come back fastly on the last item, partner, or docuemnt create.
The best is to come back without strike the code but with a button.
Like we have buttons for firt, last previous ou next item, can we have a nex button to com back on last item create.
Version : SAP BO 2007
Business : all users

Hi Anna,
Yes it is possible for documents but not for Item or Partners.
When I create a new Item or new Partner, I cannot come back on the last Item or Partner create if it is not the max code of my file.

How to allow user refer back to lecture when they are taking a quiz?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Captivate and now I am kinda in a dilemma. Thanks for your
time watching my post!
I created a CBL in Captivate 3, the first 10 slides is a lecture and it
is followed by a 10 slides quiz set as SCORM standard.
I want the learner to be able to refer back to the lecture when they
are taking the quiz, I tried to in 2 approaches and they both have
issues in different ways.
Approach 1: "allow backward movement", and "infinite attempts". The
problem with this approach is, when the learner click "review the
quiz" and when they click "back" on the first quiz slide, the whole
quiz will be start all over, the score is flipped back to zero.
Because the quiz seeing this as a new attempt, and the learner is
allowed to make "infinite attempts" as it was configured.
Approach 2: Set "allow backward movement" and allow only "1 attempt".
The problem with this approach is, when the learner is in the middle
of the quiz and refers back to the lecture, the quiz will be
automatically shown as completed. And the learner will not get a
chance to answer those unanswered questions.
So it looks like whenever I let the learner refer back to the lecture
in the middle of a quiz, the quiz will be seen as completed!!! What am
I doing wrong? Is there a better approach that I can "allow backward
movement" and still allow user resume their quiz from where they left
off?
Sorry for the long post, I was not able to express it in a more
concise way.
Any help is really appreciated!!
-David

What you are seeing is the behaviour as-designed in Captivate for quizzing.
Each Captivate movie has a "quiz scope" which begins with the very first scorable object, and ends at the Quiz Results slide. If you enter the quiz scope by starting a quiz slide, then jump back outside the quiz scope, by going back to the main content, Captivate's default behaviour is to freeze the quiz at that point. So when Captivate refers to Allow Backward Movement, it's only talking about backward movement within the quiz scope.
For example, if you get to question 1 but don't answer it and go to question 2, then answer that one, and go back to question 1, you'll still be able to answer question 1. The quiz won't be frozen. However, if you had jumped back to any slide before question 1, your quiz would have been frozen with whatever score you had accumulated at that point.
There may be a workaround you can use to get closer to what you want. Since any scorable object is classified as being part of the quiz, you can add a button on one of the very first slides that the user needs to click in order to advance. Set the properties of this button (or click box) to report a score to the quiz. This makes it part of the quiz scope. Now any content slides that fall after this button slide are also within quiz scope and moving back to them will not have the same effect of freezing the quiz.
Please bear in mind one more aspect of quiz questions: If you answer a quiz question, and then move off the slide (forward or back) that quiz question answer is frozen and cannot be changed unless you Retake the Quiz or relaunch the entire module.
Hope this helps clear up the way things work.

User clicks one link and goes to other and comes back state maintain prob

1st say 2 links r there,
aaa --> if u click on "aaa" (my requirement) as shown below.
problem : the bean values still maintaining when i go to "bbb" and come back to "aaa".
======
NOTE: when user enters all fields and clicks on button it goes to "second.jsp" their ajax response (1 table) generating. That means page wont get refreshed. (panel is fixed) only down 1 table will generate.
on FROM DATE AND TO DATE basis.
if user presses on F5 also state maintaining with the help of bean object.
i.e, say user in response table clicks on "page 5" then presses on F5 .
but problem is when user goes to "bbb" link or "ccc" or "dddd" (separate interface or link) which is not related to this
(they r nearly 50 interfaces or links) and comes back to "aaa" still old response is there.
NOTE: i can clear the bean object, but if i clear the bean object in "onload" or general i cant handle F5 issue.

Michael,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
In the case you have mentioned, how does application has to know the user is 'moving away'[clicking on other role] from the application.
Thanks in advance,

When I close Firefox and then come back to it later a box comes up that says it's already running. It says to close Firefox first but when I hit close nothing happens and the box comes up again. I have to shut down my computer and restart to get into Firefox again. If I can't get this fixed I will start using someone else. Someone told me a way to close Firefox but I forgot what they said.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a couple of months ago

Hello Brian.
You don't need to restart your computer to open Firefox again: you just need to close it manually through your application manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC in Processes tab). Anyway, hopefully this support article is what you need:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs
What's probably happening is that you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Have most recent macbook pro connected to thunderbolt via thunderbolt cable. Occasionally when I close my laptop the thunderbolt display goes black and does not come back on---even in response to keyboard. Help

Hello QuinnDev,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on. I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode. You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
Requirements for closed display mode:
Power adapter
External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
External display
You can find all the steps and the full article here:
Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display

I hope this helps!
All the best,

I have the same problem but in reverse. I clicked on don't allow in FaceBook when I was asked to allow it to access my photos and videos. I have been into the privacy settings as suggested by FaceBook and there is no link.

Firefox should allow users to maintain their zoom setting when switching to a different page, instead of going back to default every time.

Page text appears very small on laptop while utilizing full resolution on a dell XPS laptop. Zoomed-in a notch or two it looks good. Readable without squinting. But browse to a different page, and its tiny all over again. Firefox, being the best browser on the web, should think about allowing users to maintain their zoom value when going to a different page, instead of going back to default. Just an idea... I know there's alot of laptops out there and if it's hard for me to read with good eyes, I'm sure it's hard for others.

The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

Or the NoSquint extension: <br />

Mozilla firefox start page keeps logging itself on after I close all internet windows I come back and there it is. Why??? Make it stop.

mozilla firefox start page keeps logging itself on after I close all internet windows I come back and there it is. Why??? Make it stop.

I've got the exact same issue! I'm pretty sure it just started today too. It's so bizarre because we've all been using Firefox 26.0 for at least a month, right? How could the ''about:home'' page all of a sudden cause this issue?
I've been able to replicate this issue on a virtual machine running Windows XP SP3, so clearly it has nothing to do with Windows 7.

My screen cuts out half way of opening it but comes back on when i start to close and then very slowly and little bit at a time it stays on why

Single click on the Home button. Then double click on the Home button. In the recently used row, touch and hold the Contact app till they start to wiggle and then tap the minus sing by the contacts app.
Also make sure the Contact program on your computer is closed.

How do I close apps that are running in the background. You used to double press the button, and then press and hold to allow the "x" to come up, so you could close them down.

Close all apps in multi-task window
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen
