Cannot pause or preview animation to a certain time point.

Hello All,
I have Adobe Captivate 4. I am leaving my work in 2 weeks time and i have been asked to record and talk about the software applications i use for my job.
I record my application (Autodesk Inventor) and it inserts the full motion preview into the slide. However i want to add highlight boxes, captions, text etc etc. So i use the timeline at the bottom and drag it to the right. As i am dragging it to lets say 20 seconds into the slide the animation (recording) is previwing as its meant to do. But once i release the mouse and leave the point to 20 seconds the animation previews at 0 seconds and no longer 20 seconds. But the red slider is still on 20 seconds (hope i am making sense here).
Its extremly fustrating because i cant add highlight boxes, text, captions etc because i cant get the animation to preview and stop at a certain time point.
Anyone know the cause of this?
I am using Windows 7 64-bit and i have ran the application as administrator.
Thanks
Ben

Hi there
Perhaps it will help to explain how to exploit what is quite possibly a bug in Captivate.
Using the technique of scrubbing the playhead (clicking and dragging the playhead on the Timeline) keep the mouse button clicked as you press Alt+Tab to shift focus to another application. (the other application should be running full screen)
After the other application gains focus, release the mouse button.
Press Alt+Tab to return to Captivate.
What you should see at this point is that Captivate should behave as if you paused it. The playhead should be right where you left it with everything in view. You should now be able to insert a Text Caption or other object.
While I'm aware it's likely not what you were hoping for, perhaps it's better than nothing?
Cheers... Rick

Stoping a looping animation code at certain time

I am using a code which creates a twinkling star effect. I need to make the effect stop at either 30seconds of itplaying or if possible on a certain frame.
Here is the code I am using:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
getTargetAlpha = function(){
          return Math.random() * 100;
this.speed = 9;
this.target = this.getTargetAlpha();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
          if(this._alpha < this.target){
                    this._alpha += this.speed;
          }else if(this._alpha > this.target){
                    this._alpha -= this.speed;
          }else if(this._alpha == this.target){
                    this.target = this.getTargetAlpha;
Is it possible to apply something to achieve this?

You should get any code "on..." objects off of them and keep it all in the timelline.
You can use the setTimeout() function to take care of timing out at 30 seconds and cancelling whatever other code you have processing. Look it up in the help documentation or search Google for how to use it.

HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

How can I set a passcode that is only required at certain times of the day. Ie: my child needs access for school use, but don't want her playing iPad in the middle of the night. I cannot identify a way to have the iPad turn off or require a password

I cannot find a way to enable my child's iPad to require a passcode only at certain times of the day.
Yes I have used the clock/timer/ countdown - great to restrict how many minutes of iPad usage they get a day.
But as my child requires the iPad in school for class lessons the usage at school varies maybe 30 mins 1 day and a few hrs on other days
I want the ability to say set the iPad to not work between say 7pm and 7am, ( unless a passcode is entered) so my child isn't playing games on it in the middle of the night...
Apple I cannot see anything in the settings that performs this function
Help

You can Remote Lock his iPad with Find My iPad using a computer at whatever time you like.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
Note: The iPad may be disabled if he tries the passcode too many times.

Cannot view thumbnail previews

I jus upgraded to Acrobat Pro but now I cannot view thumbnail previews of my PDF files in Windows Explorer.
How do I activate that back again?

This is ridiculous, as every other version of Photoshop has had it, and everyone is complaining.
It has been stated that this is an OS issue.
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/no_psd_image_preview_in_photoshop_on _open_dialog_box_in_windows?page=1
Have you taken the time to complain to your OS vendor yet?
Also: This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully drop by.

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

Application designer issue - Cannot display image preview

Hi guys,
When I attempt to use an image icon as the label for a pushbutton,
I receive this message in App Designer:
"Cannot display image preview.
The ImgDisplay ActiveX control may not be properly registered. Use the
Install Workstation functionality of Configuration Manager to register this control"
Anyone has the same experience on it ?
Thanks in advance.

What OS is your workstation running on?
Which PeopleTools version are you running?
Are your an administrator on the workstation?
Did you try Install Workstation from Configuration Manager as stated in the error?

Itunes phone app update now I cannot pause or fastfoward the songs in itunes library

I updated Itunes from my phone on the Appstore recommendation of available updates. All of a sudden I cannot pause, play or fastfoward the podcast or lectures I select to listen to. I can only play from the begining and stop. the format of the screen changed where when i click on it a block toggles around to a play symbol. it use to take me to a blank screen for audio lectures that had a pause, rewind, foward or drag and play bar. Can I uninstall this update or reverse this?

iTunes refuses to play/read file, it cannot recognizes headers, or recognizes those as corrupt, but giving no error messages. The problem is the stored artwork(s) on your music files. To correct this, select the files that are corrupted/cannot be played on iTunes&iPod, click "Convert ID3 Tags...", then select v1.1 from the dropdown box (first, try this on a few to see that my solution is working).
By doing so, iTunes replaces headers, but your ID3 tags will not be changed (I assume you are using ID3 v2.4), nor you'll lose any info or anything else. This works as a hotfix for those files. If you try to replace headers via another program, your information will be truncated, and any artwork stored will be deleted. So I recommend this one.
You'll see that iTunes cannot play most of the files that has artwork(s) stored in them. New version hasn't fixed this problem, and it has risen with iTunes 8.2.x. If it's going to take long, I suggest you should go back to 8.1.x.

Report workload by calculating how many versions of SharePoint list items created in a certain time period

I have a total of 66 SharePoint 2010 lists - yes, 66! - each lists contains between 1500 and 3200 list items. My employees update these various list items throughout their workday. Each update to a list item creates a new version of the list
item. On average each list item will have anywhere from 5 to 10 versions before it is done. I need to create a report that tells me how many list items they've updated in a certain time frame. I have come close but still cannot arrive at
the data I'm looking for.
This is what I have so far:
I've created a report using SQL Report Builder 2008 v3 where I've filtered it to show only items MODIFIED between, for example, Feb1 and Feb28. Of those records, I want the report to tell me how many versions were created during that time
frame. The result is one list item with 5 total versions. Versions 1.0, 2.0, & 3.0 were created on 12/12/14. The last two versions, 4.0 and 5.0, were created on 2/24/15. Therefore, the answer I'm looking for is 2 because they
created 2 versions between Feb1 and Feb28.
However I get the following results using these queries:
If I do a =Sum(Fields!owshiddenversion.Value) in the expression field I get the total versions which is 5
If I do a =Count(Fields!owshiddenversion.Value) in the expression field I get the instance which is 1
Is there a way to count ONLY the number of versions created in a time period? Is there another hidden field in SharePoint that I can use in the expression that will give me results I'm looking for?

Hi Rafael70,
Per my understanding that you have already get all the need fields and informaiton of the updated version of list items and now you want to calculate how many versions of SharePoint list items created in a certain time period, you can't get desired result
using sum and count function, right?
I have tried to tested on my local environment but because I am not clear what is value in the field "owshiddenversion", I assumed you have two datatype parameters (StartDate and EndDate) to help filter the report in a certain time period.
Generally, if you have add the filter correctly, it will filter the correct number's updated version in this time period, I would like you to provide details information as below to help better analysis the requirements:
Could you please provide sample data of the table.
Please provide snapshot of the report structure you have currently designed.
Please try to provide all the expression you have used.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
Regards,

Is it possible to activate Stickies Notes at a certain time (or date)?

Many, many years ago (in the dark and early days of MS Windows) I had an extremely helpful and v useful application that (I think) was called PostIt Notes. Anyway, it was very like Stickies but you could set it to pop open at a certain time and date. I have never been able to find a replica of this and wonder if it is possible to set Stickies to do this? If not will someone please amend the app? I cannot believe it would be that difficult and it would be so very useful.
Thank you.

Specific website becomes inaccessible at certain times

I have a client (Client A) that at certain times of the day users cannot access a specific website. Most of the time the site is accessible however a few times a week for an unknown amount of time the page becomes inaccessible on Client A’s network. The
site is hosted by godaddy.com I believe but I think the issue is internal. We have an SBS 2011 Essentials Server running DNS and it seems to be running fine. I checked the DNS logs and it doesn’t show errors.
In the same building I have another client (Client B) on a separate network (Firewall, DNS, etc…) and when Client A cannot access this site I can access it just fine from Client B’s network. The first thing I checked to see what DNS forwarders are being
used on Client B’s side and to my surprise they are both using the exact same DNS forwarders (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220). To troubleshoot furthermore I had a remote session into a server on Client A’s side and another session into
a server on Client B’s side. I then ran tracert’s and pings to the website from each server and they both returned the same values. I do don’t know what to try next, any suggestions?

Without some data it is pretty much impossible to troubleshoot.
I would try a telnet session to port 80 in order to determine if the "page cannot be displayed" is purely a connection problem or not. Try telnet with the host name and if that times out try it with the IP address.
You probably know this, but when the connection works the screen will go blank. You can enter ^] to break out of some sessions but others you will have to wait for a time out and you'll see some HTML (example below).
PS C:\> telnet example.com 80
- screen goes blank until you break out using ^]
HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
Connection: close
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2014 04:20:45 GMT
Server: ECSF (rhv/81A7)
Connection to host lost.
On the other hand if it cannot connect you get:
PS C:\> telnet mail.example.com 80
Connecting To mail.example.com...Could not open connection to the host, on port 80: Connect failed
If the host doesn't resolve in DNS it will fail almost immediately. If the host exists but port 80 is not open it will take about 15 seconds to fail.
>>If you can connect with telnet but can't open the page then it is likely some kind of software problem. I would also test a different browser on the client and if that also fails then it is almost certainly an issue with the web server and the specific
client session.
You might also make sure to kill every instance of the web browser using task manager. Sometimes I've seen background zombie browser processes interfering with your active session.

Schedule job with JOB_CLOSE until a certain time

Hello all,
I'd like to schedule a background job with JOB_CLOSE until a certain time, i.e. first start time at 10 a.m., repitition period 15 min., last start time 1 p.m.
I tried this using parameter LASTSTRTTM, e.g.:
i_startdate = sy-datum.
i_starttime = '100000'.
i_prdmins = '15'.
i_laststrtdt = sy-datum.
i_laststrttm = '130000'.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
    EXPORTING
      jobcount             = l_jobcount
      jobname              = 'MY_JOB'
      sdlstrtdt            = i_startdate
      sdlstrttm            = i_starttime
      laststrtdt           = i_laststrtdt
      laststrttm           = i_laststrttm
      prdmins              = i_prdmins
    EXCEPTIONS
      cant_start_immediate = 1
      invalid_startdate    = 2
      jobname_missing      = 3
      job_close_failed     = 4
      job_nosteps          = 5
      job_notex            = 6
      lock_failed          = 7
      OTHERS               = 8.
but I didn't succeed - the job didn't stop at 1 p.m. Any hints?
Best regards
Martin Lehmann

Hi Martin,
i_startdate = sy-datum. " 1st time Job Start Date
i_starttime = '100000'.
i_prdmins = '15'.
i_laststrtdt = sy-datum. " If Job is not started by this date, then it wont be started once this date is completed
i_laststrttm = '130000'.
What it means is, if i want to start a job by 10th Oct.. & expect that it should be started maximum by 20th Oct.. If its 20th Oct & still the job is not started,... then terminate the job & do not start it..
If the job is already started, then it wont stop.
Hope its clear.
Best regards,
Prashant

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
