Can you manually advance a Captivate slide presentation with a remote control and a projector.

I have published a large volument of PowerPoint presentations with Captivate 5.0 and intend to distribute the presentations to live instructors as a means to control content delivered live by instructors to the students.  The files are aggregrated into groups of lessons and published to PDF with a Table of Contents.
We need to avoid manually advancing the show from the laptop.
Having difficulty determining how to use remote control via laptop and projector to advance the next slide or presentation. Can't get it to work. Was able to do so previously with PowerPoint slides converted to PDF shows. Remotes/Laser pointers worked fine. But now that I have processed the shows through Captivate 5.0 can seem to find a remote that will work with the new PDF or SWF with our systems.
We use a laptop and projection system, so need to be able to advance the show to the next "slide" manually and are trying to figure out how to do it with a remote control.
Has anyone else experienced this challenge and did you find a solution?.

Hi Carey,
if you can apply the letter "A" for "next" to your remote control?
Then you could add a shortcut to your buttons in the captivate file.
In deapth:
Go to a PPT importet slide (using the "click mouse" option to continue".
Click somewhere in the screen (clickbox_xx will be selected).
Properties - Action - Shortcut. Click it and press "A".
Click somewhere on the stage.
Now when you press your next button on the remote, Captivate will receive an "A" and continue to the next slide.
Hope this helps
Best
TD

    Do you still have your Aperture Slideshow project? Then open the slideshow and select the one of the green audio file clips in the film strip that you want to replace. Press the "delete" key and drag another audio file from the Media Browser directly onto the slide, where the sound should start.

  • Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?

    Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?
    What if you are on a trip and forgot your Ipod. It would be great to be able to add lost data. or even edit the Ipod data on the Nike + website

    Hi Hrbrmstr,
    That will be very cool if you can create an xml file
    that will allow us to add runs and edit runs on the
    Nike+ site! The trick may be getting past the server
    dragon which sends out a warning saying, "Your
    workout data could not be sent to nikeplus.com
    because the data could not be accepted by the server"
    when it does not like the data it is sent.
    For example, my runs that did not post had something
    in common: when I read these xml files with TextEdit,
    both have a line that says,
    "<stepCounts><walkBegin>0</walkBegin>". There's also
    a line that tracks steps run. It also said zero. Of
    course, these lines should NOT read zero, because I
    was not starting at zero steps! My guess is that this
    anomaly makes the Nike+ server either reject or
    delete these runs because the step count does not fit
    my other runs.
    Well, I'll leave this stuff to someone who knows more
    than I. Glad you're here.
    For jackt123, the longer is answer to your question
    is that certain things that are not doable now may be
    doable in the future. Stay tuned.
    I just got the dragon today. "Your workout data could not be sent to Nikeplus because iTunes received an unexpected response from the server. Please try again later." Did you ever find out why this happened to you? I went on nikeplus and it did in fact upload my latest run. Now my goals are blank on nikeplus.

  • I don't have access to a computer and so,without physically  attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

    Sorry but no. The only way to restore an iPod to factory settings is through iTunes on a computer. You will need to get access to a computer somehow. If you can get to an Apple Store, they can probably help you.

  • Can you manually get iCloud to push wifi passwords to iPhone 5?

    My iPhone 5 keeps on dropping 3g when I am out and about. Resetting my network settings seems to solve this but also means that I have lost all my wifi passwords. Is there a way to get iCloud to push those passwords out to my phone again as surely they must all be stored somewhere?Can you manually get iCloud to send

    As far as I know they are stored in keychain, make sure you enable it. I still suspect that if you only have iphone and no other devices - it will not work the way you expect and definitely no to manual push. One suggestion that can help you (hopefully). While reset network settings is very effective there is another way that gets overlooked - turning on airplane mode for half a minute. It suppose to turn off all radios on the phone efficiently doing the same (connecting to best available cell on the tower after restart).

    I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
    Thank you

    My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

  • How can our customer edit our Captivate 6 content with Captivate 5?

    Our company has decided to dive into the e-learning business and create e-learnings.  We just purchased a Captivate 6 subscription, unfortunately before finding out our customer uses Captivate 5.  He would like to edit our files once in a while when he needs to if he doesn't have enough time to have us do it.   Is there anyway he can edit content produced in Captivate 6 with his Captivate 5.  Can I export files of a certain type that he can in turn import and add to his Captivate 5 and edit himself?  In other words, what kind of files can I export from Captivate 6 than he can import with Captivate 5 and make small changes to?
      Vielen Dank,
                 Ryan

    Thank you.  I see that I can export content as an .xml file.  Isn’t this something he can upload with Captivate 5?    Thanks for bearing with my naivety. : )

    Hi, Can you help me I am running an iMac 10.7.5 and iPad 6.0.1 and a macair10.8.2. iCloud is syncing emails and notes but not photos. Photo streaming is switched on on the iMac. what do I need to do to stream photos?

    Hi you have basicly 2 Options.
    1 -if you Switch One fotostream on all 3 devices of yours which are working on the same apple id -all Fotos you Take with your iPad will be synchronized via icloud to the other 2 decvices ( w-lan and battery depending).
    2- If you select foots or a whole album in iPhoto on your air or iMac and choose than puplish --> fotostream --> new or existing event you can key in a friends mail. If this friend has iCloud and iPhoto ( for iMac or MacBook ) and click on the link in the email it will download this fotos in the fotostream section in iPhoto. If he has a iPad, iPhone,... It will do it in the foto app and if he doesn't have a iCloud account at all and you choose "public web site" while publishing he can see your fotostream on a website.

  • Do you have to down load from the internet using apple's recover partition, every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?

    Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
    Thanks

    Yes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
    For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
    If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
    Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files.

  • Can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries

    can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries. i have done a carbon copy of my home mac itunes library to a work mac.  i'll then switch itunes match on on the home mac, and i am assumign i won't need to redownload everything to my work mac.   my question is though, is it possibnle to use itunes match to just sync playlists as really i dont want to have to upload my contetn to the cloud as its nearly all not goign to be on itunes match in the cloud (obscure stuff).  so if i keep libraries in sync myself, can i jsut use match to sync my playlists?
    cheers

    No you can't. Match is an all or nothing service.
    However, depending on the size of your library and your upload speeds, you may be surprised at how quickly the match/upload process takes, and by the amount of stuff that does match.
    Depending on how big an issue the subscription fee is to you, it may be worth giving it a go. I use match mainly to keep my iTunes libraries in sync and it is the solution that I've been looking for for years.
