Can't import pptx presentation

Help! I'm trying to record a new project, using 'Other' and
'Import from Microsoft PowerPoint', but when I do that I get an
error sayings "Can't open ppt file". I've got Microsoft 2007 and it
saves all pwrpte files as pptx. How can I import/convert that?
Thanks
Bev

Hi Bev
I'm guessing you are using Captivate 3? If so, I'm not sure
it understands the PPTX file type. While I'm not PowerPoint user, I
do believe that unlike Captivate, it is able to save its content in
older versions of the format. So you probably have an ability to
save as PPT.
Assuming that were to fail also, you could always configure
PowerPoint to play the slide show in a window, then position
Captivate to record the presentation as you play it, just as you
would record a software demonstration.
Cheers... Rick

I can not import to iPad from iTunes some of my presentations.

I cannot import to iPad from iTunes some of my presentations. I get this message:"Presentation couldn’t be imported. An error occurred." That's it? I am blank off at Steve. Why cannot I simply drag and drop like any other decent software can from my saved presentations on my HD to appropriate directory in iPad? I have spent countless hours preparing those presentations. OK, let me think. I am going to do them over, spent so more countless hours just to find out that I cannot import them. Funny thing is that I never seen error doing something useless like playing game. Iam steaming.
I am looking in to Samsung products; maybe this error will help me to make the right decision. They are using open source Android, nothing like this secretive bull, oh my Got someone will try to steal my billions.

Wow, because you have created presentations that obviously have an error in them and so they cannot be used by the iPad, it is Steve's fault.
Sell your iPad to someone more deserving of its magic and get a Samsung imitation. That is if you can still find one to buy. If you had jumped the HP tablets were marked down just before HP threw in the towel on them.
But if instead of being a pendejo, you want some actual help, try the Keynote forum, perhaps they can help you discover your mistakes;

Administration - Marketing -> Import, you can set a parameter value "Import mode" for what to do in case of duplication as "update existing records", "Import new records". The final report of this import is presented as a text file that can be viewed in Business Administration - Marketing -> Import -> Exceptions. Whatever the exception, including duplication import occurs during import and recorded in a text file. What are the fields that determine the duplicity? How I can I can change those?

You will be returned anything that is in the option's value parameter. What is displayed in the dropdown and what is put in the value attribute do NOT need to be the same, so maybe you should start there.

Import PowerPoint presentation with audio

Hello,
I received a PowerPoint presentation with audio which I'm trying to import into Captivate. I can import the presentation just fine but the audio is not included.
Did I miss something?
Kind regards,

Hi there,
Thank you for reaching Adobe Community.
Which version of Captivate you are using?
Is the powerpoint presentation a .ppt or .pptx?
Thanks!

Import pptx with movable objects?

I was wondering if there was a way to import a pptx file that will still allow me to move and play with the objects (such as add interactions/motion/fade). Is there any way to do this? I know that you can import pptx with "High Fidelity"....
Captivate states it provides "Native support for pptx. All objects used in presentation, including Smart Art and animation will be included"
I choose High Fidelty but am not able to move objects.
Am I understanding this worng or doing something wrong?????
Please help.
Thank you Captivate experts, you have been my saviour in more than one occasion!
-Sabrina

OK I see...
So I see what your saying, but it really doesn't help me much. Who would have Captivate and not PowerPoint (rhetorical)?
I get it though, PowerPoint is Microsoft and Captivate is Adobe... They dont want to encourage microsoft products too much
Thanks for the input you really helped out a lot...doesn't make my life easier but answerd my lingering question!!!
Thanks again!
Sabrina

When importing keynote presentations from ituns to ipad, do they occupy double the space on the ipad?

When I import presentations from mac to ipad I put them first on ipad thorough itunes when the ipad is connected, then from the keynote app I import the presentations. After can I delete the presentations from itunes? and if i don't will they occupy double the space on my ipad?

Keynote files are not contained in iTunes
iTunes is used as an import application for iOS devices
When transferring files from Mac to iOS devices iTunes, does not hold files, only a link to the file on the Mac

Can I import a "folder tree" into an "album tree"?

I have organized a large set of photos on my PC into a nice "directory tree" or hierarchy of nested folders. The nesting structure makes sense since there is a clear hierarchical relationship amongst the photos, and there are so many of them. Viewing them is easy on my PC - I just navigate the folder structure and go into "Picture Viewer" in each folder to see all the pictures on a particlar topic.
Now, I want to do this on my Mac. Since we lack a "Picture Viewer" function in the iMac world (unless I go look for a freeware one), I am wondering if iPhoto can hold this kind of structure. Basically, albums within albums. I've tried to create a new one and move it inside an existing one and it doesn't seem to like that. Is one level the best iPhoto can do? If so, that is pathetic. The world is more complex than that. I am using iPhoto 2.0.1.
If it is possible, my extra credit question for whoever tackles this is "can I import the folder structure into iPhoto and keep the nested structure as a tree of albums?". Thanks.

iPhoto is for people who want a one-app solution for managing all their photos, preparing photo books, ordering prints, and preparing slide shows, and who are satisfied with two levels of storage hierarchy and very limited image editing options. This mostly means family snapshooters. You have a very primitive early version of iPhoto which was bundled at no cost with consumer Macs in its day. iPhoto 6 in particular offers much more organizational flexibility than previous versions, but it's by no means a professional photographer's tool.
I have nearly 100,000 photos stored on my computers. About 10,000 of them are in eight different iPhoto libraries. The best of my own work and my archives of historical photos are stored in folder hierarchies of my own design, not in iPhoto libraries, and I edit and sort them and prepare prints and presentations using them in Photoshop CS2, Adobe Bridge, GraphicConverter, ViewIt, and occasionally other apps.

Can't import PNG, No File in Movie

I've just opened a project to continue working on it and I get a "no movie in file" message - and also if I click on the actual sequence to try to open it, followed by an out of memory message. (I've worked on project previously with no memory problems). All my movie clips seem to open - but I also get a file import error if I try to import any of the PNGs I use for the title screen or credits. My mac seems to have gone wonky since the last security update, as my dreamweaver has missing icons on the toolbar and my itunes has missing picture images when in the store (they just show broken link icon). I guess this is all related. I've tried disk utility and keychain first aid - but no joy.
I could really do with working on this FCP project but in its present condition it looks like I'd have to recreate it - but I cant import a simple PNG. All my previous versions of the project do the same thing. Anyone any ideas?

Hi thanks for the reply - the PNGs are RGB fireworks files - files that I use in every project but now I can't import them. I've tried the loading older autosaves, ditching the FCP prefs and render files. No joy - any other ideas?
If I hadn't imported these PNGs before I'd think it wasn't possible, but I know they should import... I could try bringing these in in a different format - but that wouldn't solve why I can't import and of course my sequence file gives the "no movie in file" error which is strange.
I've done quite a bit of tweaking to this project so I'm hoping I can get into it somehow and not have to start recreating everything... OMG.

please help me.

Hello,
It's a possible issue whith the JDT compiler version of your tomcat distribution.
You know that jasper is the engine that transform jsp to classes and to achive this goal uses a jdt compiler or the ant task javac compiler.
First check that the JDT compiler class is present in the trace of the exception you have.
If this is the case follow the steps of the tomcat documentation in order to use the ant compiler.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jasper-howto.html
Apache Ant, which was used in previous Tomcat releases, can be used instead instead of the new compiler by simply removing the common/lib/jasper-compiler-jdt.jar file, and placing the ant.jar file from the latest Ant distribution in the common/lib folder. If you do this, you also need to use the "javac" argument to catalina.sh.
If you check the code of the tomcat compilation context seems that you can do the same, without removing any file, by setting the compile parameter of the JspServlet to an arbitrary value diferent from null.
Try this other alternative by editing the file %TOMCAT_HOME%\conf\web.xml
and set the compiler attribute as follow
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>fork</param-name>
            <param-value>false</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name>
            <param-value>false</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>compiler</param-name>
            <param-value>Ant</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>If this works for your problem we can check the jdt code and perhaps make a patch.
Best reggards,

Can I import Director movies into Flash?

Hi,
Can Flash handle Director movies? I am making a presentation
of my artworks in Flash environment; I have both Flash and Director
movies. I know that I can import all my swf movies into Director
MX2004 to create a standalone projector and play both swf an ddir
movies. Does it work for the reverse?
Thanks
Uti

No, you can't import or display Director movies in Flash in
any way. Best
you can do is launch the Director executable from the Flash
movie, though
how you do this depends on which version of Flash you are
using.

Can't open pptx on my iPad

Recently I've found that I can't open pptx files from my email on my iPad. This is really frustrating and whilst previously the formatting was never great, it used to work and I could review presentations whilst on the move.
Apple please get onto this and provide a fix.

Look at the Rccharles answer on this post.

Where can I find videos on flying eagles that I can download for a presentation?

How can I import short videos (under one minute long) into my I-movies so I can add it to a presentation?
I love one I saw on youtube of flying eagles that would be perfect, but can't seem to find anything that imports.

There is an iMovie forum where you can ask again, how to incorporate short clips into your movie.

How can i import files to trial version LR5.6? Message:Your disk "MobileBackups", to which you are importing images, is low on space.

how can i import files to trial version LR5.6

I currently am up to about 65,000 images cataloged in LR. I backup on launch several times a week and have used the "relaunch and optimize" function periodically as well. I am a bit reluctant to do anything aggressive as, even though I have encountered this warning 6 or 7 times in the past 4-5 months or so I have never had to shut down. I have emptied the recycle bin (which, as I mentioned, usually has very little in it) and then I continue and notice no impairment of function. So at present it represents more of an annoyance and a bit of a mystery only. Maybe I will just report this to Adobe and sit tight unless someone can see an obvious explanation and correction here.
I appreciate all of the input and advice I have received already.
