Captivate Record function on multiple computers

Hi,
I'm a relatively new captivate 3 user and I mostly use it to
capture program sessions through the record function. The problem
is that I have to capture different sessions on multiple demo
computers (about 8 different system). For now I have the trial of
captivate running on all of them to capture the session and I have
the licensed copy on my main computer.
I am wondering what I'm supposed to do once the trials start
to expire. Would it be better for me to simply activate/deactivate
the license every recording session on these terminals? I think i
read that captivate only supports one machine per license so this
will involve a lot of activation/deactivation I assume.
In order to work around this problem I tried to capture the
session from remote desktop but there seem to be random graphic
glitches on the window side that I just cannot fix. Icons from the
GUI would often turn black no matter how I set the graphic settings
on the main or target computer, which is a big problem when
capturing the session.
Any idea or solution to this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks :)

Hi chikarin and a warm welcome to this community.
No problem, your licenced version entitles you to load up to
2 machines at a time (e.g. yours plus a current client). So I would
suggest loading one machine, finish what you need to do on it,
uninstall and move to the next machine. From what you have written,
this should be OK.
Cheers
Andrew

Is there a way to Install Captivate 8 without having to log on using an Adobe ID? We need to automate the install on multiple computers.

We are a small IT department that needs to do multiple installs of software on multiple computers. Having to input an Adobe ID for the install is a hindrance.

Hi a couple of years back i f needed to do a similar thing with adobe photoshop elements 7, i found that there was an instalation file that could be edited that would input the serial number and other settings, i then used group policy to run the install.exe, maybe have a search for this type of thing?

Use of multiple computers on one Skype account

I'm trying to find out if we can have just one Skype account on multiple computers? For instance, having one name and using it on both our travel laptop and our home desktop would be very helpful. People wouldn't have to have two different contact listings to remember or keep track of to contact us! Any help of suggestions would be appreciated.

you can use your Skype account in any computer or device, as long as the Skype program or application is installed in it.

Run function on multiple rows in a layout

Hi,
The client 's requirement is to run function on multiple rows in a layout at the user's will,the easiest way to add a indicator and then use this indicator as the condition in the function,but the problem is how to make this indicator.
The indicator can not be added to the leading column because it can not been check or uncheck manually by the user; the next option is to add it as the data column, but this make the data column look unnormal.
Anybody get better way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi JW
Lets say you have used the keyfigure to identify whether the specific record is to be considered in fox and assume that the values for this key figure is 1to consider and 2-not consider then you can input these two values some place in layout in third step and put the excel validation on data column on these values so it will give the drop down box for the these values for data column.
Thanks,

Multiple computers on airport

I have an airport express connected to a dsl router, my problem is that i can only have one computer logged into the internet via the airport at a time. and when i set up the airport to run both computers in the house, only one will work.
i have called my isp and they say that it is an airport issue.
does anyone know how to get multiple computers running on the network?

thanks for the reply, however after checking that all preferences were set to the specifications that you presented i still have the same problem.
while my computer is logged into the internet, the other computer can pick up my airport but after logging in it will not actually be functional and will not load anything.
i hope that gives a little more info to my issue.

Music & Video Sync issue with multiple computers

I sync my phone to multiple computers, one primarily for the ical and the other primarily for the music/video. Problem is, when I sync to my macbook pro (the ical & address book) I have the music sync turned off but it still wipes out ALL my music and videos! When I resync to my imac (the music & video) it puts the media right back on the phone of course.
Why does it wipe away my data? I tell it not to sync and it still wipes out my phone. It's quite annoying since it takes a while for the phone to re-sync 6-7 gigs of audio and video, not to mention if I'm not by my imac I have no A/V on my phone till I resync. The A/V functions are the reason most people buy the thing in the first place, I'm surprised its so un-userfriendly in this case.
any suggestions?
thanks,

I managed to get this done tonight. Unfortunately, I didn't see a solution posted anywhere, so maybe I'm the first. I did this with an iPhone, not an iPad, but I imagine the process is the same.
Step 1) Copy the contacts to the right profile. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286044
Step 2) Back up your device.
Step 3) Start outlook and change the default profile to the one you want to use.
Step 4) Restore the device to it's original settings using the Restore button on the summary page.
Step 4) After the restore, it asks which backup you want to recover, pick the one you just did.
Now, if for some reason, it asks for an outlook profile during the restore, pick the right one. I was asked this go-round, but not when I originally started syncing the phone. Go figure.
Restoring to it's original settings could cause some sort of data loss. I don't care about any game saves, and I just sync with my gmail, so my contacts were really all I was concerned about. This process did recover 5 gigs of space eaten up by unexplained "other" data in my phone. Maybe it was cached e-mails, maybe it was old apps that didn't uninstall properly, who knows. But my apps, my e-mail, my contacts, my notes, my text messages and my calendar are all in place.
I have read that the default profile can be changed after the first sync, but in my situation, I wanted my outlook to default to this profile anyways.
Hopefully this will pop up in a google search for the next person who runs into this problem. It sure was a headache for me.

FRUSTRATION - why can't I add music from multiple computers to my iPhone??

I use multiple Mac computers in my life. My home computer has about 30 gigs of music. My work computer has about half that. Therefore syncing in any case is not an option. I have added some music from home to my new iPhone, and I want to do the same from my work computer but cannot! WHY?? I can do this with my 5th gen Video iPod no problem.
Plugged into my work computer now, I try to set the iPhone again to "manually manage music," but it still tells me the iPhone is synced with another computer (it is not, since I immediately disabled the sync feature before adding music). Is this going to be the case if I want to add photos from multiple computers, etc., too?
WHY?? WHY??? WHY?????
SO FRUSTRATING...

You're welcome.
Maybe I'm missing something, but i still struggle to see the connection. Disk mode is the iPods ability to be mounted as a disk on the desktop, allowing the free disk space to be used manually. It exists completely outside the iPods normal, iTunes-driven functions, right? What we are missing on the iPhone is a simple feature from inside iTunes – a feature that all other iPods (as far as i know) have. Strange that the "Amazing iPod" does not.
Disk mode has everything to do with the ability to transfer iTunes content to an iPod from multiple computers. This is not a simple feature from inside iTunes.
Do you have an iPod? If so, are you transferring iTunes content from more than one computer to your iPod? If so, do you have disk mode enabled for your iPod? If yes, turn off disk mode and test if you are still able to transfer iTunes content from more than one computer to your iPod.
Nothing prevents me from admitting when Apple goes wrong or disappoints, but this is not the place for it. This is a user to user help forum for technical support issues and questions only which has a terms of use. Discussing Apple's policies and procedures and ranting is specifically against Apple's terms of use for these discussions.
Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows Apple's reason or reasons why disk mode is not supported with the iPhone. The only answer you will get here or anywhere else for that matter is someone's opinion, unless Apple makes an announcement or information is provided by an exec during an interview. IMO, there must be a valid reason or reasons why disk mode is not supported with an iPhone since it is supported with iPods. Since disk mode is supported with iPods, more than likely there isn't a technical reason why it isn't supported with an iPhone, so I seriously doubt that Apple decided not to support disk mode with the iPhone just for kicks, or for no valid reason or reasons whatsoever on their part.
Until I know Apple's reason or reasons, it is difficult for me to admit Apple has gone wrong in this regard, for it may make Apple right for a reason or reasons we don't know, which can be disagreed on. Once facts are known, just because you believe Apple has gone wrong and/or you are disappointed doesn't mean I believe the same, which may or may not have anything to do with being an Apple fan - maybe we just don't agree.
My brand loyalty goes only so far. I did plenty of research on the iPhone before making the decision to purchase one. Before purchasing an iPhone, I can count on one hand the number of MMS I had exchanged. I have used a number of Palm handhelds for business - before they began selling a Palm cell phone, and I don't recall editing a word or excel document once during all that time. I wasn't interested in doing so with such a small screen, and since I wasn't interested in doing any editing, cut/copy/paste wasn't critical to me either.
If these features were very important to me - features I used on a daily or very regular basis, I would not have purchased an iPhone regardless the other features it includes. I certainly wouldn't purchase one anyway knowing these things, followed by wasting my time at an Apple user to user help forum for technical support issues and questions whining and ranting about it, which is common here by an immature small percentage of users. There is nothing wrong with providing constructive comments here, which constructive being the key word. There are some folks here who don't know what the word constructive means and don't have a clue about how use it.

1 mouse/keyboard multiple computers.

I'm in search for a device that will allow me to use one mouse and keyboard on multiple computers. I've found similar products in other stores, but I prefer to purchase from BestBuy. Finding this item is difficult because it tends to be located in different areas on each store website I go to.
Anyone know where it is on the BestBuy online website?
I'm looking for something similar to the Rosewill RKV-2UC, doesn't have to be the exact type/model, but it has to do the same basic functions: utilize one keyboard and mouse on multiple computers. The VGA input is optional, but nice to have.
Any help would be much oblidged.
I was going back and forth between posting this here and the Home Office section, but this seems more like it should be here than the other section.

Have a look at this link..... do this help?

ARD won't save multiple computers with same IP and different port!

I'm trying to access multiple computers over the internet behind a firewall with port forwarding.
I can access each computer, but ARD won't save the IP address and port (in IP Address column of ARD 3.1) of multiple computers with the same IP address. It will only save ONE. I've tried 'add by address', adding a list for each computer or adding a list for all those computers. Nothing has worked. ARD will actually change the first computer's IP address to 0.0.0.0
Example: Static IP address
Computer 1 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:51 (public port 51 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 1)
Computer 2 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:52 (public port 52 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 2)
Computer 3 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:53 (public port 53 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 3)
Has Apple really overlooked this or am I missing something? Isn't this how most people would remotely manage multiple Macs offsite?
Thanks

ARD cannot do this as you're asking. If your
workstations get their addresses from an NAT device
rather than being "real", the ports also need to be
forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal
IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and
updating function, so if your Macs are getting their
IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward
a port to a single workstation, you can only get
reports, push package/files to etc. for a single
workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and
control, though, and there are a range of IP
addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD
uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded
to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need
to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD
client cannot listen on any port other than 5900
while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as
5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the
second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You
can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number
for a VNC client
to connect.
The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD
administrator on a workstation on the network, and
then take control of that system from outside, either
via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a
virtual private network (VPN) so that when you
connect from outside, your admin system is officially
part of the local network.
Hope this helps.
That definitely helps. I have ARD installed on my MBP and on a workstation on the LAN. I have used ARD from the MBP to control ARD on a workstation on the local network, but it can get a little tricky. I already have VNC setup on all the workstations. I used to use COTVNC prior to purchasing ARD 3.1.
I guess what I'm really asking is...
How do I add a list of workstations and save the settings (same IP address for each workstation with different ports?) to control/VNC via ARD?
I simply want a list that shows each workstation, so I can control/VNC them using ARD offsite.
Name: Computer 1 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5901
Name: Computer 2 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5902
Name: Computer 3 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5903
I don't want to have to manually type in the IP address into ARD every time.
Will ARD simply not add another computer to the list if it has the same IP address but different port number as a computer already on the list? I haven't been able to find a way to make ARD do this.

Captivate recording ends unexpectedly

Tried to record a CAE application ANSYS using Captivate. The
recording will end unexpectedly every time when I clicks on certain
keys in the pop up windows. I tried to change the end recording key
from "END" to other combinations but it doesn't help. How to fix
this problem? How can I end the recording if I set the stop
recording key to "None"?

Hi Rick,
Thanks for pointing out that the F9 full motion recording
created a much larger file size. However, in my every recording
attemps, there are some strange interactions between Captivate and
the ANSYS application dialogue windows. Everytime I press the OK
button in the ANSYS application, Captivate ended the recording
unexpectedly. I will have no idea when and what will trigger the
END RECORDING function of Captivate and have absolutely no control
over this. So other than using the Full Motion Mode all the way, I
just cannot make any useful recordings. But because of the file
size issue as you pointed out, I really hope Macromedia can look
into this and find a solution for me. Do you work for Macromedia?
Can you relay my request or should I contact the help desk myself?
Please advise. Much Thanks.

When I log on to Firefox, I get this block that pops up saying, "Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple computers? It has 2 buttons asking "Save to my Yahoo!

I have tried the Save button and no response, I tried the No thanks button no response. I tried the underlined "Learn more" and it too no response. I tried the close X but that does not get rid of this box. I tried right clicking and no response. It stays there through out while working on the mail, I cannot access the that toolbar so I cannot use the buttons on this tool bar. Please help or I will have to try another browser to see if it go away.

Multiple Computers on the same network

We're currently transitioning to Windows 8.1 MRD after many years running OSX and ARD in our small office.
We have two computers that we need to access independently from the outside. We opened up the recommend port for MRD and have it working as expected on a single computer. However, we can only gain access to a single machine from the outside. With Apple Remote
Desktop, you simply open up additional ports to allow access for multiple machines. Super easy. We decided to do the same with MRD, but failed with everything we attempted.
Does MRD not support using custom ports for multiple computers?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
We can achieve the result as you want with remote desktop connection. We need to allow the port from firewall end and can apply particular rules with advanced option for specific ports. Also if you are using Routers then need to open the port from router end,
and finally when connecting user “servername:portnumber” and provide credentials.
Please checkthis article for more details.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Syncing to multiple computers

when syncing my ipod touch to my computer at work, it deletes everything stored from my home computer. what am i doing wrong?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod

Using Messages with Multiple Users and Multiple Computers

I have two users who share two different computers, switching between them during the day.
I'd like to use messages on them for us to send text messages in the office, however, it asks them on logging in (most, but not everytime) to re-enter their apple id password. It seems that using icloud for messages among multiple computers like this isn't good. its like it wants each computers to be linked with a particular user, and doesn't like it that the users are moving around from computer to computer
Options to avoid this nuisance?
1. Would bonjour messaging work, and then just remove the icloud account from messages?
2. How about setting up the message server on my ML Server, would that avoid this problem?

I'd say probably make sure that in the advanced tab under edit>preferences you should make sure they both point to the same file.
My turn now, how to i post a thread, there's no button.
