Captivate 5 - issue with editing imported PowerPoints that have been resized

I'm having an issue with editing PowerPoint files that have been imported into Captivate 5 when they have been resized within the Captivate project after the initial import.
1. I import a PowerPoint presentation into 800x600 dimension.
2. I resize the project to 900x600 by not locking the aspect ratio and selecting to position to the top right so there is a 100 pixel strip to the left of the slide that we use for navigation buttons and other info.
3. If I need to make a change to a PowerPoint, I select Edit > Edit with Microsoft PowerPoint > Edit Slide (or Edit Presentation).
4. The slide opens in PowerPoint and I make the changes and click Save.
5. When the slide is imported back into Captivate, it is stretched and resized to not fit either 800x600 or 900x600, but something in between. This did not happen in Captivate 4 - the slide would retain the 800x600 dimension slid over to the right with no issues.
Are there any settings that can be done to ensure the edited slides will import back into the project with the correctly sized dimensions for the current project?

Hi there
I agree that it would be nice to see a notification. You know, Captivate offers a special area for notifications that appear when you open it. I'm stymied as to why Adobe doesn't use this area for making such announcements.
Cheers... Rick

Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
-- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
-- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
So, what is most valuable to you?
-- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
-- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
Of course, you can do a bit of both.
Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
Good luck!

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Issue with publishing an application that has been updated (application with multiple versions)

We are using App-V 5.0 SP1.
I have a package that will need to get patched whenever new security updates are released. The first version of the application always works fine, but when I update the application and re-publish it, a normal user is unable to pull down the new version.
When this occurs I am able to get everything going by logging into the server with an admin account and performing a sync (Get-AppvPublishingServer | Sync-AppvPublishingServer; Get-AppvClientApplication"). What is it about applications that
have been updated that would cause this behavior?
The issue is similar to what the hotfix below addresses, but since we are on 5.0 SP1 I am unsure if this applies still.

Hello,
Have you verified the event-logs if the attempt to publish the package is visible there (successful or failed)?

Importing files that have been color-flagged in MAC Finder

I just started at a big company's design department, and I'm taking over a large editing project in midstream. My predecessor edited hundreds of files by going thru them in the Finder and marking the files directly using the "Label" function, so that the files appear flagged by color in the Finder. (ACK!)
Is there a way to import the files into LR4 that turns their current color label into a color flag within LR?

Sean,
By update, you mean I will have to regenerate new ones with ACR 3.7? I assume also I could wait for ACR 4/CS 3 and do it then as well

5 stars not showing up on other computers when importing images that have been worked on. Catalogues settings include write metadata to xmp keywords do show up though

our working group usually one team member imports and completes job in lightroom 5 . All settings on team computers include write metadata to xmp. Key words show up if another team member adds the images to their catalogue but the 5 stars don't show up.
We use the 5 stars to show images that were worked on and complete.
Would love to sort this issue out as we rely on being able to see the star rating not just keywords.

[Sorry for the delay in getting back.] Of the three files you included in the Dropbox .zip, 2 had no rating, and 1 had a 5-star rating (*research*.dng). So indeed, the rating didn't get written to those two files and wouldn't show up when they were imported into another catalog.
A couple of suggestions:
1. Triple-check that the option Automatically Write Changes Into XMP is set in Catalog Settings > File Handling in everyone's Lightroom.
2. After someone sets the rating, check the thumbnail in Library grid mode -- does it have a badge in the upper-right corner indicating the metadata needs to be updated? If it does, then that means the metadata isn't getting written immediately back to the file:

How can I best edit word documents that have been emailed to my iPad?

I regularly receive word documents from work, via my yahoo email account. I have two questions really.
1) Can I edit word documents received via email?
2) If this is possible, what is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Sorry, yes. When I asked "how do I transfer it to Pages for editing?" I perhaps should have made it clear that I have purchased it. I can also create documents in it and send them as a Word document to others via email.
Could you clarify "When you get the email, click on the Word Document to view it." The email appears in the Inbox list but does not show an attachment in the same way it does on my Mac. If I tap the email, it opens and reveals the contents including the Word document contents. At what point am I looking for an arrow - in the email list or in the opened and readable Word document?

This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
Any experience doing this the "right" way?

I am having issues with 360 degree rotation, I have an iPhone 5 and ios 6.0.2. I have read alot about this issue online and I found out that my issue is software. I want to know if and when apple will fix this issue?

I am having issues with 360 degree rotation, I have an iPhone 5 and ios 6.0.2. I have read alot about this issue online and I found out that my issue is software. I want to know if and when apple will fix this issue?

I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S. Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
Discouraged....

This sounds like an error in Time Zone support. The time zone needs to be the same in Outlook as well as the phone.

I'm having some issues with Edit in Audition

This past week my friends and I shot my friend's final film project. We recorded external audio at 192000 Hz, 12288kbps, 32-bit float. I synced up all the audio and sent the project to my friend. When he used Edit in Audition so that he can mix and clean up the audio, it had been exported at 8000 Hz, 512kbp, 32-bit float and everything sounds muffled. I'm more familier with Premiere then he is, so I tried, and I had the same results.
I know Audition can import and export that kind of audio so I'm assume it's a problem on the Premiere end. Is there any settings that I'm missing or is it impossible for Premiere to extract at that quality? Even if it's the latter, is there a way it can be set to extract at higher than 8000 Hz at 512kbps?

From what I can tell, it's a problem with Premiere exporting, not Audition importing though. I have the 192000 Hz, 32 bit files working just fine in the Premiere timeline so it doesn't appear to have to much of an issue with editing it, it just exports it at a much lower quality when sending it to Audition
It seems like the only way I can keep that audio quality is to sync sound in Audition and that's not ideal for me.

Does anyone know why Adobe CC is failing recognise or open files taken on a Nikon D4 that have been previously edited in CS5?

I'm just migrating some of my image archive across from one hard drive to another. During the process, I checked the files in Bridge to see that they'd copied correctly. It was here that I noticed that for some reason, in every folder that I've moved, there are at least a few images that it fails to recognise. These images are listed as having no camera model and no serial number. Attempting to open them in Photoshop CC says that it is an unrecognised file. Bridge struggles for a while, manages to eventually recognise a lot of them but always leaves a few that it cannot work with.
Having looked at the original drive, the files are fine and open perfectly. One thing that I've noticed is that some (not all) of the now corrupt files have been previously edited in CS5. Removing the sidecar xmp file makes no difference. Purging the cache makes no difference. Repairing permissions makes no difference.
I am running OSX Mavericks (10.9.3) and have the latest updated version of CC.
Please help!
Leon

I'm using an Intel iMac, 3.6Ghz Intel core i5 with 12GB of 1333 Mhz DDR3 RAM.
The iMac has OSX 10.9.3 installed with all of the latest updates.
I'm using Adobe CC with all of the latest updates installed so Bridge is version 6.0.1.6.
I have repaired permissions, rebooted the Mac, re-started Bridge and cleared the Bridge cache.
The raw files are .nef files from a Nikon D4. They are currently stored on an external Western Digital red hard drive and all of the images are accessible and load correctly.
In moving the files across to a new Western Digital green drive, Bridge is failing to create some of the thumbnails. After waiting for all of the thumbnails to be created, the remaining files are simply displayed with a nef files icon. Any attempt to open them fails, with Adobe Photoshop CC displaying a message stating that the file is not in a format that Photoshop can understand.
On investigating further, I have found that the images that are causing issues are ones that have been edited before and have sidecar .xmp files. These .xmp files were created during editing when using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.
I hope that's everything that you requested.

Issue with Contract Import

Hello Folks,
I am facing an issue with Contract Import. The contract import file has been struck in Contract Document importer and from past 4 days the status is showing as Running. Even in trace file, it is showing as "Mon Mar 16 18:05:51 CET 2015 Error during action"
Is there any way where the import can be stopped or deleted?
Any help is highly appreciated!!!
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Vignesh

Thanks John and Peter for your support. Unfortunately I cannot provide a screenshot of the issue since of the confidential material and has to re-do the work. I have re-done all the excel correction and re-created the Indesign merge document on a PC laptop. So far 'no' problems. I have a strong suspicion that the cause has been a macro used in excel to convert text or another one that I used to add values to the colum that InDesign found issue. Definetly InDesign should have reported a problem before merging the data. Yes, I am using CS5.5 with the latest update and Excel 2010 on a Mac. Still, I would like to find out what means the letter 'A' in the Data Merge Panel, since this may have directed me to find why the multiple 'AAA...' shown in the first line in the merge panel. Again thanks John and Peter: much appreciated.

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.

Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.
