Can slide objects be customised across slides through one command?

I have 2 questions regarding editing multiple slides.
1. Is it possible to change the default position and size of the slide numbers? Or if I change the size of the slide number to say, 36 and place it top centre, can I use that as a master for the remaining slides?
2. Similar to inseting slide numbers, if I have a logo that I want on the top right of all 110 of my slides(in the same position), is there a way to generate this across slide without inserting manually in each slide?

This is easily solved by using hyperlinks (look that up in KN Help, too, to get more thorough info). First, make your "pre" presentation as a new KN file. Put a hyperlink on the last slide of that. Using the hyperlink inspector, direct the link to your "40 questions" file. When the link is clicked, which you will do at the finish of your "pre" presentation, the second presentation will open at the beginning, and the slide numbers will reflect that, i.e., they'll begin with "1". When you use hyperlinks for this sort of file-linking, the transition to the new file goes more smoothly if you have it already open before you begin your presentation.
NB: If you're a relatively new KN user, you may not know that there's a lot of tutorial information on the internet. Apple has: http://www.apple.com/iwork/keynote/, http://www.apple.com/iwork/tutorials/#keynote, and http://www.lynda.com/home/ViewCourses.aspx?lpk0=281&utmsource=applecom&utm_medium=partner&utm_content=iwork_resources&utm_campaign=iwor kresources. There's also a lot of informative stuff on YouTube. I'd start with this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQQwZ9zePvM&feature=related, and it's easy to find more. Even experienced KN users can often find tips and techniques they didn't know about.

Can I load several files in parallel through one file infopackage?

Can I load several files in parallel through file datasource?

Hi Alex
I am sorry but am not able to understand your requirements completely.
If you are using BSP then how come infopackage comes in picture?
As through a BSP application you can load the data with the help of fundtion modules. In your case first load the data from file to internal table through function GUI_UPLOAD and then from internal table to ODS through function module RSDRI_ODSO_MODIFY.
Do not forget to assign points if this helps

How can I share iPhoto libraries across more than one computer?

I am trying to find a solution for multiple users accessing a single iPhoto library.
I want to have just one "master" library for my family, which we can all access via different computers.
I also want to apply the same principle of a "master" library for iTunes and iMovie, plus all our files/documents - see the original question here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4940803.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you

iPhoto has never been designed as a shared network database. What you want to do is currently not supported, Jerry, sorry.
Some things to consider - assuming you are using the most recent iPhoto version:
iPhoto '11 will not allow to have the library be opened by more than one user at a time. It will lock the iPhoto library, if it is already in use.
The iPhoto library needs to be on a disk, that is formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled), otherwise iPhoto will not open it. Most network volumes have a different formatting.
Network access is considerably slower than the access to a locally connected drive. You will have a noticable decrease in performance when working over the network. Editing the images will be no joy, if each and every access to the databases inside the library needs a network access.
Since iPhoto is not specified as a network database, there is no built-in protection against network drop-outs and transmission errors when doing database transactions. You will be risking to corrupt your iPhoto library.
Save sharing options would be:
Let the iPhoto library be managed by one user, but give read-access to your family members using the "Sharing" preferences. You can share all albums or selected albums on your local network for browsing.
Put your iPhoto library on a portable drive and let each family member use the drive in turn.
Use shared Photo Streams to share your photos.
This is Apple's recommendation on how to share a library:
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users

Captivate closes down when importing slides/objects/widgets

My Captivate 4 is bugging up. When I try to import slides/objects or widgets the slide goes white and the program shuts down.
I need to use the import function to complete my movies, and do not have time to recreate them all.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and if I there is a way to fix it?
None of my movies are more than 30 screens, so it should not be size.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Seems indeed that something got corrupted, could be a slide (or more) or objects. But it is difficult to tell the real cause. To detect the culprit, try to copy to a new blank project (same resolution), but not all slides at once. How did you copy/paste images: from another application or between slides? If it is from a graphical app please use the Insert function to preserve quality.

How can store object in LDAP

How can store object in LDAP?please give one example

Hi,
I read the book , LDAP programming with Java , it has the description about how to write
java object into the LDAP server. but its server is Netscape server. By different vendor,
I think that they may have different method about your question. You may reference your
developer document for this question. Perhaps you need to know what its schema is,
how to load its .ldif file into server(case in the book), how to read/write java object to the
server.
Or in the book, JNDI API Turtorial and Reference Building Directory-Enabled Java Applications,
it also illustrates how to bind a java object to the LDAP server via JNDI. But it is just focus on
the API part, not configuration.
good luck,
Alfred Wu

Can I put multiple object placeholder in Master slide?

I would like to know if I can creat multiple object placeholder in Master slide or not. After searching the disccusion, seems that this problem occur since Keynote 03 and is not improved till Keynote 09 now. In fact, I would like to make a slide show of multiple photos, but I would like to arrange several photos in one slide and exactly the same position and size in each slide. So, it would be easiler if I can make a master slide with mulitple object placeholders. Can anyone help or if there is any alternative ways? Thank you.

Apple Maps is not a GIS application. It might be one day. For now, you will have to use ArcGIS or something similar.

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings. This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

My screen opened, and with every click the page (letters/images) got bigger. I can not get it to return to normal image size. I have to use the slide bar to read across the page. What do i do to correct it back to normal size???

Hi jholzworth,
It sounds like you might have accidentally hit the zoom button. Try hitting ''CTRL + 0'' to return it to normal size. Just so you are aware, ''CTRL'' and ''+'' will zoom in and ''CTRL'' and ''-'' will zoom out.
Hopefully this helps!

Hide objects/information on recorded slide

Hello,
I want to hide information and objects on the recorded slides
in my project. So that if I publish them, you can't see that
specific info. Is it possible in Captivate?
Thx

Hi SoSch and welcome to our community
Indeed you may and it's easier than you think. I do this by
inserting a Highlight Box object. Configure the Border to 0 and the
Fill Color to match the area you are hiding. The eyedropper tool is
so good for this! Then position the highlight box over what you
want to hide.
Here's the cool part. Often, the area you want to hide
appears across multiple slides. I then copy the Highlight Box
object from where I created it, select the slides where I also need
it and paste. Poof! It's pasted on all the selected slides
in exactly the same place it was copied from which means I
don't have to futz with positioning it!
As a final step, you may choose to right click the Highlight
Boxes and merge them into the background. This has the same effect
as if you had popped the background into an image editor and
blotted out the undesired or sensitive information.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Keep Master Slide Objects Static for Object Transitions

A gripe that I'm hoping many of you are as infuriated with as me – and hopefully maybe someone can point out something I am not seeing.
In past versions of Keynote 6:
Premise:
An object is placed on a Master Slide (not a placeholder)
That master is applied to slides.
An Object Transition (Cube, Revolve, Pop, Push, Flip, Zoom Perspective) is applied to that slide (which is followed by a slide with the same master)
Result:
Only objects not on the master slide would animate during the transition leading to a premium feeling transition.
Keynote 6.5
Premise:
Same as above
Result:
All objects animate, including non placeholder Master Slide objects resulting in "too much" happening on screen.
As a presentation designer who makes a living on Keynote, this is a huge step back. I used to trick Keynote 5.3 into getting the effect that I wanted by taking screenshots of a blank slide and then making that screen shot the background of a slide. It was a time suck, often somewhat pixelated, a huge addition to file size (especially for templating), and cumbersome to make small changes like adjusting position of logos.
Apple... I hope one of your engineers are reading this and creates a fix for this in the near future.

Can Keynote 3 record narration for slides (like PowerPoint)?

Does anyone know if it's possible to record narration for selected slides in Keynote 3? Unfortunately, this much-desired feature was lacking in Keynote 2 (it could only play one audio file through the entire presentation). FYI, PowerPoint has this feature already, but it is then limited by an inability to export to Flash or QuickTime... Thanks!

Thanks, nanotechmama! On your lead, I looked up the User's Guide and found this additional clarification:
"Adding Narration and Other Audio
You can add music—a file or playlist from your iTunes music library, or any other sound file—to a Keynote document. You can add sound as a soundtrack for the entire slideshow, or you can add sound to a single slide.
If you add a soundtrack, the music starts playing when the slideshow starts. You can specify whether to play the audio once or repeatedly (or you can turn it off ).
If you add a sound file to an individual slide, the sound plays when the slide appears and stops when you move to the next slide. You could, for example, record narration for each slide as an MP3 file; this technique is especially useful if you plan to export the slideshow as a self-playing QuickTime movie. (For more information, see “PowerPoint” on page 167.)
Note: To make sure that the audio plays on other computers, “Copy audio and movies into document” must be selected in the expanded Save dialog. This option is on by default."
So it looks like it might be possible to add a different narration file to each slide. I've therefore ordered a copy of Keynote 3, and I'll confirm in a week or so (once I receive it) whether this is indeed so.

Positioning quiz slide objects

I am working on a Captivate 5 project with many quiz slides. The quiz slides were put into the project by someone else. I need to move the various quiz slide objects (submit button, back button, clear button, question text, review area, hint caption, and so forth).
These objects need to be moved to the same position in all of the quiz slides. I've been moving these objects into place one by one and it is very tedious.
Is there a way to set up a style to move all of these objects on all quiz slides at once?

Each of the objects you mention on the quiz slide are a special type of object in Captivate.
So although Object Styles do not allow you to specify the X and Y coordinates of an object, you CAN just move one of these objects on one slide to the location you want them all to be, and then go to the Position and Size accordion in the Properties tab (Transform accordion in Cp5.5), look for the small dropdown in the top right corner of the accordion, and choose the option to Apply to all items.
The name is a bit misleading because it make you think this will actually apply the positioning setting to every item in the project. But the fact is that it will only apply it to items OF THE SAME OBJECT TYPE. So although you would never do this for something like text captions in the main part of your project, you can safely do it for things like Submit, Clear, Back, and Next buttons in quiz slides because each of them are actually totally different object types as far as Captivate is concerned.
Note also the option to Apply to all items of same style. This means you can create custom styles and apply them to just certain buttons or captions if you only wanted SOME items to be positioned in a certain way, while all other items should retain their original positions.

Import Slides/Objects in Captivate 5

I just installed Captivate 5 on my Mac and can not for the life of me find a way to import Slides/Objects like I could in Captivate 4. I create tutorials for work and they are similar, except the background. I know that might sound odd but we have 3 sister companies and the layout of the tools are the same, just the branding is differnt. So I have grown accustomed to just importing the objects from one "master" tutorial into the others.
Am I missing something or was this option removed from Captivate 5?

Hello,
Rick's answer is totally correct. There was a discussion about dropping this feature in the development process, and with the use of MDI (Multiple Documents Interface) the copy/paste from one project to another seems to be indeed a more intuitive and quicker workflow. And the former limits on filesize and number of slides are (almost) no more there, so you can open several projects without fear. Importing took quite a lot of waiting and keystrokes especially if you wanted only to import certain slides from another project.
But of course, if you disagree, feel free to introduce a feature request.

Placeholder for question slide objects

Hi,
I see that in a project template, you can add a placeholder for a question slide.
What about the objects on a question slide?
Example:
I use the design template to define the "look-and-feel" of the correct/incorrect messages on the question sldies, also the buttons, question font size etc.
But in the design template, you can't define the position.
Can you do this using placeholders in a project template?
Thanks,
Joan

Hi there
The Question Slide placeholder simply indicates a Question Slide should appear in that spot. If you want to format the placement of objects and whatnot, you *CAN* insert an actual Question Slide in the template and arrange as desired. Then when a project is created that uses the template the question slide will be present with objects arranged as you want.
Cheers... Rick
