Animations reset if you switch away from Presenter view?

This may be fairly unique to us, but in the middle of a Keynote presentation while in presenter view, I will have to switch away from Keynote to another application and then I would like to switch back.
The problem is if there are 5 animations on a slide and I am on the third, when I switch back to Keynote for whatever reason Keynote is back at the first animation as if I just pulled the slide up for the first time.
I've poked around to see if there is an option or anything to turn this "feature" off and haven't found anything. I don't know why anyone would want that behavior either.
Anyone have any ideas? For now, I am just chopping up the slides wherever we have those kinds of transition points but it's a real pain. All I want is for Keynote to "Freeze" and chill in the background while I temporarily switch to another program that I need to show, and be right where I left it when I switch back.

Erik,
I think "am just chopping up the slides wherever we have those kinds of transition points" might be the best possible solution....where at the space you need to switch programs one slide ends and the transition to the next slide requires a manual click ... you use Alt+Tab to switch to the other program, run it, then when finished Alt+Tab back to KN and manually click. (Using Duplicate Slide might be helpful....deleting what you want after the other program from the first and deleting what you wanted before the other program from the second slide....with the manual transition appearing between the slides.)
I will be interested if somebody has an alternative answer.

  • I have a problem with Powerpoint 2011 for Mac.  I began preparing a presentation and everything was working just fine.  At some point I switched away from presenter view and then back at which point the next slide had disappeared, never to be seen again.

    Did I inadvertently hit some key that blocked out the preview slide?  If so, what do I do to get it back? My presentation is on Thursday so I would appreciate any help you can give me.  Thanks.

  • DW CS6 - Spry collapsible panels - How to have panel close when you click away from it?

    I know typically onmouseout is used to close other items, but I could not figure it out with the spry collapsible panel. I have the panel opening onclick and closing onclick, but I would really like for it to close when you click anything else on the page outside of the panel.
    Thank you!

    Sorry, I did not mean other collapsing panels close when you click away from it. I simply meant in general for the closing after clicking away function, you can use onmouseout. I was working on something with collapsing panels and I wanted it to show the information when you clicked on it, but when you click on another panel, they both remain open. I really want both to close. I believe accordion does this, but not quite what I am looking for either.
    Here is a better example of what I would prefer: Houston Public Library
    If you visit their page and click "Find it" a box pops down with information and then when you click anywhere else on the screen, it closes that box. When you click "Research," it closes the "Find It" box and opens the "Research" box. There is likely a much better way to do this, but I am pretty new to this.
    Any assistance is very much appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • Why does Spaces automatically switch away from my active window?

    I'm having the weirdest problem. As of a few days ago, whenever I use an app in full screen mode, this thing happens: after about ten or twenty seconds, the app will switch away from my active window, and show the desktop. What's also weird about it is that there's no switch away from the app - in the menu bar (which was previously hidden, because I was in full screen mode), it'll show that whatever program I was using (ie, Chrome), not Finder. Again, to be clear: the window is switched out of view, and I can see my desktop, but the app I was using is still active.
    This problem only happens in full screen mode, and seems to be happening across the board with all the apps I regularly use (iCal, Word, Chrome, Excel, to name a few).
    Thanks for the help.

    This just started for me today and I have no idea what's causing it.  I almost always have a full-screen Chrome space running and it worked fine for me for as long as I've had this machine, but suddenly for no reason it wants to do this autoswitch thing.  It is incredibly frustrating even if it is a simple swipe to get the screen to go back across it makes watching a video or reading a page nigh impossible.  Is there a solution for this at all or even a workaround?

  • When switching away from a particular web site, the audio often continues.

    When switching away from an eagle cam web site, the audio often continues after leaving the site or will stop then restart later.
    Only happens from this one web site but occurs on two different computers using Firefox browser but not others. This seemed to start with Firefox 10 and continues with FF 11. I have watched this particular web site off and on for a year and never had this experience with the audio restarting after leaving the site.
    This is the only site I have found where this happens and it happens only with FF, not IE or Chrome. I also learned that a friend has the same problem on the same site on her computer.
    Any help resolving this is appreciated.

    Sounds like a problem with the plugin-container process that doesn't stop properly and keeps playing the sound.

  • Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

    Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I deleted the password from the view password window.

    The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

  • Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

    I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
    1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons.  Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings.  They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store.  It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity.  The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
    2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network.  These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address.  Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker.  In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone.  Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
    3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
    There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
    The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location.  So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
    As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go.  Not great for privacy & security.  When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy).  But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option.  Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.

  • Spaces switches away from application when moving window to another monitor

    Using multiple monitors in Mavericks:
    I often want a window from the same application on each monitor. Why?  Because I'm working in one window, and I want to refer to another.  Mostly it's the brower (Firefox), but sometimes it's Word or Excel too although I think this is a Mavericks issue.
    Here's the issue:  When I move the a window to another monitor, Spaces on the original monitor changes away from the current application. 
    This is frustrating, because I have to keep Cmd Tabbing to get back to my original application on both monitors... how do I prevent this from happening?
    Thanks!

    This reply from Grzegortz Krzminski was helpful - problem solved:

  • How to switch music from thumbnail view to list view

    In the music app in the main library, how do you switch the music from thumbnail view with the album art and name arranged in a grid, into a traditional list view, if at all possible?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    ... I did inadvertently find a way to view by list, although a bit unconventional. When I went into Playlists, I found I could tap on "All Songs." This had all my music in listed, alphabetical order. Hey, it works so I'm okay with this "fix." Poring thru album artwork makes me crazy! TNX Rat ! :--D

  • Constantly losing focus away from code view in CS6 OSX

    DW constantly loses focus away from the editing pane in code view, and instead seem to focus on another part of the interface.  Two big problems with this:
    When I expect to still be in code view, and the first thing I do is hit Delete, DW wants to DELETE MY FILE - and worse, the confirmation pop-up is automatically focused on YES, so if I hit enter, the file is gone before I may even notice what happened...
    I have to keep going back to my mouse and finding the exact line and spot in my code where I had my cursor (and can still see the cursor there, just not focused), and click to reclaim focus.
    I've noticed this happens on several occasions:
    When I do Command+S to save, and then Command+U to put, the put command focuses on the "Files" component of DW and does not return to code view like it should,
    if I switch between apps with Command+TAB and then return to DW, again my focus is lost away from the code where my cursor still sits, but does not respond (again, it seems to think I am trying to manipulate the file, like delete it upon Delete key),
    sometimes, complately randomly when I highlight something, same focus loss...
    This is extremely annoying (on top of the already laggy and poorly designed custom chrome).
    OSX 10.8.2 and latest DW CS6.
    Anyone know how to fix this, or is this just another bug Adobe is ignoring?

    So looks like Adobe released a DW update, yet this is still not fixed.
    Unbelieveable how this is not a priority, along with optimizing the terrible UI experience (it has gone backwards in speed and funcionality from previous versions).
    This is also not a problem on Windows, just OSX - which used to be Adobe's target market... time to find alternatives to CS.

  • Problem with Yahoo search infringing trademarks, very disappointed that you moved away from Google.

    Google is responsive to trademark infringement complaint for its ADWORDS program. Yahoo's advertising program constantly permits advertisers to infringe trademarks and does not respond to complaints. Reflects really poorly on FireFox, which we used to hold in high regard. All the ads on Yahoo are infringing our trademark and Yahoo legal is not taking action to remove the advertisers.
    If $ are at the source of FireFox switch, then your "commitment" to keeping the web open and valid is looking like a sell out switch as well.
    Very disappointing, especially having contributed to Mozilla supposed "volunteer". And your file upload doesn't work.

    Thank you for your prompt reply and the links to the complaint forms. We've been submitting them for years, so we are quite familiar with the process. Google and Bing are responsive, Yahoo is not!
    The problem stems from the fact that FireFox, who we have grown to trust, made Yahoo Search the default search without alerting FireFox users that you have done so, nor did FireFox provide an alert with instructions to revert to Google, should the user so choose.
    This is not in keeping with FireFox's open, transparency commitment, which makes it sound like it is $$ driven, rather than mission driven. It's like saying that you care about humanity, and then source products from impoverished areas of the world in the name of $$.
    Re: Are the ads the same as those appearing on other browsers, yes, but I thought that FireFox was not like all the other browsers. What happened to your manifesto to do good or better?! ...Yahoo just doesn't deliver on so many levels that it reflects really poorly on FireFox.
    We have learned over the years that Google is responsive to intellectual property complaints and takes their position as the leader in global browsing very seriously. Unlike Yahoo. From other comments it looks as though I am not the only one to want Google back.
    MOZILLA "The Internet is an integral part of modern life—a key component in education, (isn't FireFox now teaching that manifesto is just lip service and the $ is really the KEY component) communication, collaboration, business, entertainment and society as a whole.
    The Internet must enrich the lives of individual human beings OR is the internet used to enrich FireFox and Yahoo at the expense of human beings.
    Suggestion: INFORM USERS about Yahoo, INFORM USERS how to revert to Google and make it easy and permanent to revert to Google. Thanks for your consideration.

  • After iBooks purchase on iPad, Books sync in iTunes incorrectly switches away from "All Books"

    Background:
    iTunes 11.4 on OSX 10.9.5
    iPad running iOS 8.0 (12A365)
    iPhone running iOS 8.0 (12A365)
    same behaviour observed w. iOS 7.x and iTunes 11.x
    I have a largish library of ~500 books and PDFs, managed via Books v1.0.1 on OSX. I sync all of my content to both the iPhone and iPad in its entirety as it contains both light reading and technical content for work and reference.
    I've noticed that sometimes my library of books gets out of sync between the three devices and hadn't narrowed the cause. Last week I got caught without some important info available to me due to the issue, so I invested some time tracking it down.
    Issue:
    With iTunes set under the Device sync setting to sync "All Books" and both ends currently in (content) sync, if you make a purchase on the iPad/iPhone via iBooks so that a new book is added to the device library … and then plug in via USB to OSX and sync the device in iTunes. iTunes will toggle the "All Books" option to "Selected Books" and only select the single entry just purchased.
    That causes the new book to be synced successfully to the OSX Books library (where it was already pending as a cloud purchase anyway), but now the issue is that iTunes retains the "Selected Books" sync setting going forward for that device (with whatever context that may be referring to lost). Hence further additions to the OSX Books library and/or the iPad/iPhone library are ignored for syncing going forward, until such time as you realise and manually revert the setting to "All Books" as required.
    It seems some of the behaviour on book purchasing/library changes is definitely broken and has been so for quite some time (at least last 2-3 releases of iTunes). Interestingly, adding a PDF to iBooks on the iPad/iPhone (such as via the services menu from a Safari page) seems to trigger the behaviour sometimes but not with the same repeatability.
    Can anyone else verify this behaviour or know if its a reported issue?

    Sorry, I was only able to get back to this issue today, but it worked.
    Thank you again Michael for your help. It was as simple as just buyng a free book from the iTunes store to create a Books area, then I was able to drag and drop my 3rd party book there.
    Still, I feel that there should already be a Books area in iTunes, but perhaps I am the only one who has updated iTunes on a computer without any previously purchased books on it from the iTunes store.

  • How do I default to the top of an article when you swipe away from it and then swipe back? (Smooth scrolling)

    We basically have a catalogue with multiple ranges - a lifestyle shot for the first 1024x768 and then the rest of the products scrolling down, is it possible to default to the top of the page when you go to another page and then back? We are finding that when people use the catalogue it tends to get very messy very fast and this is going to be in a reception area on a stand.
    Cheers!
    Aaron

    No, not by swiping but you could do it with a navto: button.
