Captivate 2 and captivate 3 compatability

Before we up grade to Captivate 3 we need to know if the
projects we created in Captivate 2 are editable in Captivate 3
without having to re-record the whole project. Basically is
Captivate 3 backwards compatible? ANy Advice on this ?
Thank, you
Penny

Hi Penny and welcome to our community
I think you meant to say "Forward Compatible", no? Backward
compatible would mean that what you create in 3 can still be used
in 2. In this case, it is definitely not backward compatible. You
can, however, open a project created in 2 using Captivate 3. You
should be prompted at that point as to whether you wish to just
open the project and permanently convert it to a 3 project, or
whether you wish to first perform a save under a different file
name, so you may preserve your existing work in Captivate 2 format
so you may still use 2 to make edits.
Hopefully this answers your question. If not, try again and
list where I went wrong and one of us here will try to help.
Cheers and happy Friday! Rick

Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4 compatable with Captivate 8?

Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4 compatable with Captivate 8?

Hi there
I believe you will need a copy of version 5 or 6 to open the CP with and convert to a CPTX. Then you can open using 8.
Additionally, you may discover that things become a bit mangled during the upgrades. Many have not gone smoothly and have forced a rebuild of the project.

Adobe Captivate LMS Compatibility Guide - Anyone Interested??

Why is it so hard to find information about Captivate LMS Compatibility?
I'll admit to being somewhat frustrated with the lack of easily procurable information about how to make Adobe Captivate content compatible with the plethora of LMS products now flooding the marketplace. (There are over 100.) I had hoped for years that Adobe would put up a site (or at least a page or two) that listed LMSs and laid out the correct settings in Captivate to use for each one. Sadly this hasn't happened. And the search function on this forum seems to be broken, which makes it more than hard to find information about a given named LMS.
So in desperation I've decided to try and provide a venue for this type of information myself. I'm going to reserve a section on my website at www.infosemantics.com.au for information specific to Adobe Captivate LMS Compatibility. I'll be listing anyLMS products there for which I can procure information related to using Captivate. Headings on each LMS page will overview the LMS functionality, compatibilty with SCORM or AICC standards, any known issues with compatibility with Captivate content, what Cp quiz settings other users have found work successfully, as well as any modifications to templates, or workarounds that have proven useful.
Naturally, I only have access to a small number of LMS products for testing. So I'm enlisting help from any LMS users on this forum to provide suggestions and information collaboratively.
Here's what I need from you:
Simply go to http://www.infosemantics.com.au/contact and leave a message stating the brand and version of LMS/s you use, and a contact email address where I can reach you for information on how you got your Captivate content to work with it. I will add a new page to the LMS Guide covering every LMS for which people offer information and add the info under each heading. Each LMS page will also allow comments so that other users can offer feedback and suggestions. If the volume of response is to high for mere comments, I can add a forum for each LMS where users can exchange information on what worked for them. User's interested in a given LMS can subscribe to that page so that they will be notified via RSS of any updates to information.
I intend to create test projects in Cp5 that have various combinations of Quiz Settings which (according to user feedback) SHOULD WORK on each LMS. You'll be able to download these zipped SCORM or AICC packages to test on your own LMS as well as the Captivate project files (cp and cptx format) used to create them, so that you can see the settings used. Hopefully this will help you to debug compatibility with your own LMS.
You can also leave a message on the contact form if you are trying to use a particular LMS but haven't had much success and would appreciate getting information about it. I can't promise to find the answers, but someone else that chimes in might be able to do so once they know you're looking.
My sincere hope is that over time this resource will build into something that will save a lot of time and angst for every Captivate developer trying to work with an ever-growing number of LMS products. More and more clients have them. But it's a minefield out there.
Anyone interested in participating in this attempt?

No, I'm not only concerned with Cp5's LMS compatibility.
I intend to put up information about all Captivate versions that anyone can supply information on. Most likely this will be from about Cp3 onward.

ILife 08 and iMovie 06 compatibility issues?

Sorry if any of this has already been covered in other threads...
Has anyone had a chance to thoroughly test the 6.04 version of iMovie (download version if you install iLife 08) and know what compatibility issues there are?
I.E. How well does iPhoto 08 play with iMovie 06, or iMovie 06 with iDVD 08. Are the third party plugins problematic with v6.04?
From what I saw at the Apple store, iPhoto08 and iDVD08 would be the only apps that I would really want since iMovie08 seems to be a step backwards and iWeb is still lacking in everything that I wanted improved. But I don't want to waste the money to discover all sorts of "gotchas" with trying to get iMovie06 to play nice with the rest of iLife08...
Also, has anyone done an install excluding iMovie08 entirely? Do you still need to download 6.04 if installed this way? Are there any pitfalls?
This is like Deja vu or something...When iLife06 first came out, I installed everything but iMovie and stuck with iMovie05 for a long time cause of all the bugs and how long it took to get the third party plugins working...

Of all the things for people to moan about with iMovie '08, the real unfortunate thing is it's inability to import effects, etc. (essentially your completed movie) from iMovie HD. One could somewhat forgive Apple for this debacle, if only it played nice with iMovie HD. Then it could be everything it's supporters say it is, i.e. "a different app," "a simple app for simpletons in a hurry" (although I find it's lack of tools and compatibility issues more difficult to manage).
...and a lot of us feel like this is the thing we're going to be stuck with going forward.
I keep thinking that something else is going to happen, because this can't be right. I think this diver/video engineer who came up with this concept is suffering from the bends.
Apple doesn't need the money, (as in making us buy Final Cut Pro for decent video editing), trust me, so I don't understand why it would take the PR hit.
iMovie '08 spoofs are already on YouTube, etc.

CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility

Has anyone successfully installed CS4 on Windows 8? I am currently using Windows XP and received a pop up saying Microsoft are no longer releasing updates for XP after August and I am entitled to a free download of Windows 8. I am trying to decide whether to do this but risk losing my use of CS4 which I really don't want to do. Any advice much appreciated as not sure whether to just continue with XP. Thanks in advance.

If you search Google using the terms "CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility" you can probably find various results from both Adobe and Microsoft that should give you some idea of how much of a gamble you might face in changing your OS.
In my own experience, a change in OS has yet to be a positive experience... while most people loved XP in its day, I suffered years of poor performance with it as an upgrade from the moment it was installed and regretted doing it. Maybe you've had better experience and aren't as shy of it as I am.

Player 10.1 and Air using Compatibility Mode

This is related to post at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2933137#2933137, but, thought I should start another since that one is marked answered.
I'm having a similar issue with an Air app, but, I am using 4.1 SDK (and LCCS 10.1 swc), but still getting the same error regarding GroupSpecifier (pasted below).
I have an Air app project and related web app project, which both use a library project (ARSystemLib in the trace below). The library project is using 4.1 SDK, and has the Flex 3 compatibility mode turned on, along with 10.1.0 set as "use a specific version" under "Flash Player Options". The Air project is also using 4.1 SDK and Flex 3 compatibility, along with the compiler option "-target-player=10.1.0".
For the web app, I had to remove the "Use a specific version" of 10.1.0 for it to compile ( was getting many "Classes must not be nested", which seems to be a difficult issue to fix after much research on others getting this message).
I'm okay with the web version not using 10.1 for p2p, but, critically need this for the Air version. I'm hoping it's not the "Compatibility" mode setting, as reworking the app without is a huge undertaking.
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Apologies for the delayed response. I am guessing you will have to update the namespace in your <PROJECTNAME>-app.xml file under src of your project.
Your name space should be 2.0 or greater.
Its possible that your app has namespace like -
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"> ,
but it should be
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0">
Also other options is to add -target-player=10.1.0 to your flex compiler options [additional compiler arguments]
Thanks
Arun

Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Quicktime 7 compatibility issues. Error 39!

I see some people saying Quicktime 7 is not compatible with Final Cut 4.5 and some saying it is.
I upgraded to 10.3.9 and then Quicktime 7 and I started getting error 39 at this one spot in my timeline and then crashing if I tried to play just a few seconds ahead of that spot. I tried trashing the prefs but that didn't do any good. The individual files play fine outside the timeline so it isn't corrupt media. I tried rerendering the effects that are at that point but that didn't help. I tried copying the entire timeline to a new sequence and that didn't help.
The strange thing was that when I took the part of the movie that was having trouble and deleted it from the timeline it still got error 39 when just playing over the empty timeline where the media used to be! This led me to realize that the problem lay in some Quicktime audio effects I had about a second in front ot the error 39 spot. I took off the effects from that audio but it didn't help. Then I deleted that audio from the timeline and just pasted it back in from the original clip and then it finally got to working.
Now I know nothing about the software, but I thought there might be some connection between the fact that I had effects that FCP labels as "quicktime effects" on there from my days in Quicktime 6.5, then upgraded to Q7, and perhaps those old effects don't work in Q7? I don't know.
So, my immediate problem is solved but I thought this experience may be of use to someone else. And perhaps some compatibility issues can be brought to light.

I would assume the Software Update program has sufficient logic within it to detect that my friend is running Final Cut Pro 4.0 and it would therefore be disastrous to install QuickTime 7.3, thus removing QuickTime 7.3 from her list of suggested updates. Would someone at Apple please fix this?
Sorry, but Quicktime is a component for SO MANY things, not just FCP. Sorry, but the OS doesn't detect that older versions of software are on there and won't be compatible...this is where you need to have a little knowledge. And sorry, but you need to have a little knowledge. If things are working, DO NOT UPGRADE unless it has been tested and cleared. In the case of FCP 4...it has not.
Rule of thumb...if you use older software, you have to stick to older versions of the OS and components that that software relies on.
How many things were broken with Vista? So many that the HUGE community let out a cry and now XP is available again configured on machines or as a stand alone buy. And no, Vista didn't warn that certain applications wouldn't work either.
You gotta research and find out. This place here...this forum...is a FANTASTIC place to find stuff like this out.
BTW...Apple doesn't read these forums, only us users. Gotta submit feedback here:

When will Windows 7 and IE 8 compatability roll out?

If you look at this thread 'Xcelsius 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 (FP3.1) is now available' there is a "upcoming major Xcelsius release" mentioned but no dates or timelines. When is this going to happen and will Windows 7 compatability be part of that release? I have customers right now that want to know, if they integrate some Xelcius dashboards into our web application, will this work in Windows 7 and IE 8.
I also noticed the expiration notice on 2008 Engage Server going away. I have Xcelsius 2008 Engage (not the server version). What is the estimated life cycle on it in light of the Server version going away next year.
P.S. I am aware of the XP compatability mode in Windows 7 but I have a hard time believing SAP would consider that a permanent solution.

Hi Matt,
I understand you can't give any detailed timelines yet, as I can only assume you guys are still early in the development cycle for some of the fixes and updates required for Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility. My problem is I have customers that want a reporting solution integrated into the web application my company provides as a product. We want to sell them on the idea of buying Xcelsius licenses and developing their own metrics reports that would seamlessly integrate with our application and we provide an API for them to do that right now. It becomes a pretty tough sell when they ask about Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility and I can't really tell them anything definitive other then "I think SAP is working on that?". Its not like were talking about an obscure OS and browser, this is Microsoft after all and its my understanding they have a bit of a following . I would, at the very least, like to be able to confidently tell my customers that SAP is commited to making sure Xcelsius 2008 Engage (or what ever the next version name is ) will be fully compatible with Windows 7 and IE 8 and that the long term plan is the end of this year? middle of next year? some other non-ridiculous time frame so I can assure them its not a waste of time waiting for this product to be updated?
You mentioned any SWF files we create (at least it was implied) should run as long as Flash Player 9 or later is installed? Is that truly the case? The reason I ask is the Adobe web site says the Flash Player 10 is compatible with both Windows 7 and IE8. Is the only issue driving this compatability problem the version of the Flash Player installed, or are there still some pieces of Xcelsius that need to be rewritten to accomodate Windows 7 and IE8 regardless of what version of Flash Player is resident? Bottom line is what can I tell my customers to reassure them this is the correct path forward for their reporting needs?
Thanks,
Matt

Captivate 3 and Windows 7 Compatability

I have Captivate 3 and am consideing buying a new PC and want to know if I'll have compatability issues between 3 and Windows 7. If Captivate 3 and Windows 7 can't play nicely together, will Captivate 4 work? Thanks

Hi there
I wouldn't expect Captivate 3 to work with Windows 7 with no issues. However, even if you were to upgrade to Captivate 4 you would still stand the chance of seeing issues. Particularly if Windows 7 is the 64 bit version. If the computer RAM is advertised as more than 3 gig (4 gig RAM systems are very common) you can pretty much count on the fact that Windows 7 will be 64 bit.
Captivate may work or it may have issues. It works just dandy for some folks using Windows 7 64 bit. For others, it's nothing but trouble. The bottom line is that Your Mileage May Vary.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate 6 and Flash 9 compatibility

Hi,
We have found that published Captivate 6 executables are not running on our WinXP PCs that have Flash 9 installed. The files do have the Flash 9 compatibility option selected when they are published. We've found that after installing Flash 11, the files will then run. The problem is we have a lot of PCs in the business all over Australia and we do not want to start a Flash 11 rollout just yet. Is there a setting that we are missing or is it only compatible with a 'mid' version of Flash 9 and up? (ie. v9.03 and up and we might have 9.02?)
Thanks

Captivate 7, 64- and 32-bit compatibility

I'm about to start working with someone who uses Captivate 7 on 64-bit Windows. If I use the 32-bit version, will there be any problems with our trading the files we work on?

Hello ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
You can share the files between the same version , it doesn't make any difference if you have 32 or a 64 bit version .
The problem occurs if you change the version like open Captivate 7 files in Captivate 6 or any other previous version.
Thanks

Is adobe captivate 7 compatable with OS X Yosemite?

I have a new Adobe Captivate 7 and after I installed it, the icon will bounce 3 or 4 times and then close. it will not run at all. I have a Macbook pro retina. Is adobe captivate compatable with OS X Yosemite?

HI Phillip,
Captivate 7 does work with Yosemite but it is not tested with Restina Display. Can you try to install Captivate 8 trial version and see if you are getting the same issue?
Regards,
Mayank
