Captivate 7 not recording clicks suddenly

I have been using Captivate for about 2.5 years now and have never experienced this problem. Two days ago, I didn't have an issue, but today it will not record my "clicks" when attempting to record a software simulation. However, it will record any keyboard actions. I've checked settings and it is set to automatically record, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

Captivate 4 Automatic Recording does not record application

Windows 7 64bit, Captivate 4.01. Run as Administrator. Create Project>Software Simulation>Record Application - Microsoft Excel 2010. Automatic Recording selected - mode doesn't matter, but Demonstration and Assessment checked. Start recording with red button. All settings default. After lots of moving around, typing, clicking, etc. in window, I can't stop recording using End key - I have to click on the CP icon in the Notification Area icon to stop recording. The resulting project is a single slide without any of the actions recorded. To repeat - I did start Captivate by right clicking on the desktop icon and selecting Run as Administrator.
Anyone resolve this issue? I did try searching the forum before posting, but maybe it isn't IE9 compatible as I got 0 results - even when searcing for "Captivate 4 Windows 7"

Captivate 4 CAN sometimes work fine on Windows 7 64bit systems. It does on mine, but not all users report this success.
Before you go and buy Cp 5.5 you might as well try the different compatibility settings to see if one of them will work for you.
Another thing to be aware of is that Captivate doesn't always capture every single screen event for some programs. So with the project you found resulted in a single slide, were you hearing the camera shutter sound at regular intervals? If not, it may be simply that Captivate wasn't "seeing" the events on screen and you might have needed to do more manual captures to get everything.

Captivate 4 will not record software simulation with Windows 7

Hi,
I have a Dell M6400 labptop, 32-bit, operating system is Windows 7. The patch I downloaded through Help->Updates-> on Captivate fixed
my microphone problem, but did not help the software simulation problem.
I get as far in the process as having the screen setup with the red bounding box and controls visible. After choosing automatic I then click on the record button. There is a shutter sound, but it won't save anything. I get back to Captivate and it has not recorded anything.
I then installed it on my main computer which is 32-bit and uses windows xp. I did exactly the same thing as my above mentioned laptop and it did the software capture beautifully. So it must be the Windows 7.
I am disappointed that the patch didn't fix that. Will one be coming soon that will?

Okay, I have been trying to use Photoshop CS4 Extended as my software simulation. It refused to work on Captivate 4
numerous tries, but now for some reason it is working fine. The only thing that I did different was to go into Photoshop's
preference-->performance--> and the openGL was unchecked and I checked it. I think that Photoshop had a problem and turned off the
the openGL. I have the latest update for my graphic card, so I'm not sure why it affected the GPU.
I didn't think to try other programs, but now I have, and they are working fine too.
It could be that the problem was with Photoshop instead of Captivate.

Captivate will not record ALL screen movements

I have been using Camtashia and recently move to another
company where they want to start using Captivate. I just bought
Captiveate and I am getting very aggrevated! Captivate will not
record all my movements with the mouse or when a screen changes. It
appears that everything is driven by an actual mouse click. Only
when I move my mouse around and then click will it actuall record
the "action".
Please tell me there is a way for Captivate to record all
mouse movements, keystrokes, changes in applications just as I see
it when I am actually doing the recording.
I dont need all this fancy highlighting and project wizards,
I just simply want Captivate to record EXACTLY what I do and see
while I am recording.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi Tmy8ster and welcome to our community
No doubt you are frustrated if you are expecting Captivate to
behave like Camtasia. Yes, both create similar output, but both
accomplish it in entirely different ways.
Perhaps the following link to a thread where I attempted to
explain it will help:

Unable to use Recording click boxes & Highlight boxes in Captivate V5 and Acrobat X

I am using Adobe Captivate V4 and have just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X standard (writer). I notice that when I use my normal methods for recording mouse clicks, they are not recording. I thought I had changed something in the settings, but it works with other programs. I'm sure you'll tell me I will need to upgrade my Captivate version - but it's a shame that I need to do this!
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
thanks Lynn

Hi Lynn,
I'm sorry you're running into problems recording with Captivate. You've posted in the Adobe AIR forums, if you haven't done so already, would you mind reposting in one of the Captivate forums? Hopefully you'll get a better response over there.
Thanks,
Chris

Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "e

Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "everything".
We're running 5.5 as an administrator on Windows 7 and my co-worker is trying to capture a webinar (GoToMeeting) with Captivate and it is not recording anything in the GTM window, except the last slide. Anyone have this problem or know a fix? Not much is mentioned in the Adobe forums.

Captivate simply doesn't 'hear' some screen events on certain applications and you just need to resort to doing manual captures at these points.
I usually set up my manual capture button to be F2 so that I can hit it with my left hand while my right hand is on the mouse navigating through the task.

Captivate 4 not recording mainframe emulator demo

I had used previous versions of Captivate to record simulations of our proprietary mainframe system. Since upgrading to 4 a couple years back, I am no longer able to get Captivate to recognize the keystrokes or the screen changes. It captures the first screenshot only and then nothing. Could there be an option/property I have set wrong?
Thank You

Hi there
Is this really the same question you asked a year ago?
Click here to view that thread
And if it is the same issue, is it one you never resolved or is it one you resolved for a while and it has since returned?
Sometimes the answer is simple. Perhaps you turned off Automatic recording and have shifted into Manual mode.
Cheers... Rick

I'm having trouble recording a bass to go along with a recording I dropped into GB. I'm using an interface and I can hear the bass line, I've clicked on the 'record' button, but the sound does not record. What am I missing?

I have the bass connected to my imac with an interface.
I can hear the bass and I've clicked on the 'record' button, but the sound does not record.
Am I missing something ?
Please advise.
Mike

Double check all your audio settings.
System Preferences --> Sound --> Input should be set to your audio interface.
GB --> Preferences --> Audio/MIDI --> Input should be set to your audio interface.
With your track selected, open the Track Info pane, and select the Edit tab. Under input make sure that Mono 1 or 2 is selected (which number will depend on which input you plugged your bass cable into).

Loading Webpage is not recorded

Hello,
i like to record a configuration of a WebInterface. There are
many links and inputfield. But after i click a link in the browser
a new Webpage was displayed but it was not recorded in captivate.
After i type in a new inputfield - captivate display the current
page. Is there a option to make a realtime recording? Caputure
exact whats on the screen ?
Best regards
Christian

Hello Christian,
Welcome to the Captivate community. Are you trying to capture
screens in Mozilla Firefox or Opera? If so, you will need to press
the Print Screen key to get Captivate to capture the screen action
you require.
You can switch Captivate into Full Motion Recording mode
(Press F9 to Start and F10 to Stop) but I would not recommend it
for the following reasons:
1. Full Motion Recording is not designed to capture more than
a few minutes of video
2. You cannot edit any slides captured in FMR mode.

Captivate stops recording

Captivate stops recording when I select a drop down icon in an application. This has just started, not a problem in the past

Hello,
Few questions:
What version of Captivate?
When you are referring to an application drop down icon, is Captivate recording up until that point and then it doesn't record you clicking on the drop down icon?
If so, what happens when you press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard?

Programmes not recording

I have already checked and no FAQ answers are applicable. The program showed as set to record on EPG, but was not available (ie not showing at all) to start watching from the recorded list after the program had started. When selecting the program to watch from EPG, it suddenly started to record (part way through). This is not the first time that for no reason a program has not recorded. It was on series record, good signal, no power interruptions, no turning of machine etc. the box was supplied new by BT within last six months and is up to date with latest software. The box is set to over write old programmes when the drive is full.
Are these boxes just unreliable or is their a fix for this problem?
Incase it is relevant, it happened with 2 programmes at the same time (1) Silent Witness, BBC1 21.00 tonight (12/01/15) and (2) Broadchurch on ITV at the same time. Heathfield transmitter.
Thanks

I'm having problems with advaced recording,when its only recording for 1 minute before its turning its self off. Is anyone else having the same problem? Anyone got an answer?

Total interface design in Captivate, not just "PPT slide"?

I'm reviewing the possibility of using Captivate for a major project (>$200K). i've looked at the tutorial videos but....
1. All the info is slanted at creaintg PPT-type slides for content.
2. For the purposes of this post, an e-Learning site is composed of : a banner header, a left menu, a content area and a navigation bar. So...
3. How do/ can you create a left menu which communicates with a SCORM-compliant LMS, to, for example, change colour for each menu item as each module is completed?
4. How do/can you create navigational elements OUTSIDE the PPT-type slide area, because they are meta-information not specific to a particular slide? For example: change language, references, glossary. These items should not be on a content slide, as they are global.
See attached image for what I want to do.
Any advice gratefully received.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can use "Setting" button under TOC Editor in Adobe Captivate 6
1) Under Captivate 6 Menu, click on Project -> Table of Contents
2) Check "Show TOC"
3) Click on "Settings"
4) Make changes under "Theme" sections, Screenshot below :
Note : I need to double check for Visited Links
Please elaborate more on your 4th Point, do you want to have a different language TOC ?
Thanks,

UFT (QTP 11.5) does not record Chrome

Hi
I have recently installed UFT (QTP11.5) and successfully recorded scripts against a web app running in IE8. However, I have issues with Firefox and Chrome:
Firefox v16:
Will record in what appears to be the Terminal mode ie will record mouse clicks on objects via coordinates and when entering text in a field it will simply record this as keyboard input.
Chrome v22:
Will not record anything at all. No objects or low level Terminal mode script is recorded.
Has anyone else seen this? Note: I have installed the GUI Testing Web Add-In and checked it was active on launching UFT.
Thanks

but note that this workflow may cause the error to occur again.
Click ‘Details’ to display technical details on this error which may help

Due to this exception I can't create or execute any test in QTP 11.5 (UFT).
Does anyone know how will I be able to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Company name not recorded in contact card

Hi,
When I edit a contact to add his/her company name, the name is not recorded when I click on the save button.
It's driving me bananas!
Any idea what's happening?
Thanks,
Sil

Well, in fact I restarted my Z30 and it seems to work now. (though I need to do some extensive tests)
But strangely, after the reboot, the two contacts I played with (my bank and my mechanics) had been removed, deleted from the contact list!
I also lost some other phone numbers for contacts who had two numbers.
I feel concerned that the contact list doesn't look very reliable...

Safari Not Recording Browsing History

I have a new iPad Air. Safari is not recording any of my browsing history. I checked my General settings, Privacy settings, and Safari settings, but I can't find anything that would cause this problem. I also tried powering down and restarting. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks, Greg

Make sure that private browsing is not enabled.
Click safari then click the icon on bottom right looks like two boxes one in front of other.
Once clicked select private on bottom left.
Good Luck!
