Captivate to IPOD

Hello, please forgive me if this question is posted elsewhere.
Is there a way to convert a Captivate interactive training module to an IPOD and keep the interactivity? Just looking at some other ways to incorporate training.
Thanks

I haven't had a chance to give it a try yet, but I recently found
a tutorial on just that topic complete with file samples  on the Adobe site.
Mobile learning: Adobe Captivate content on video iPod devices
by Silke Fleischer
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/ipod.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/ipod_02.html
it appears she suggests a third party .swf to video file converter, but this is a 2008 tutorial...perhaps there is an easier way.
You can see a Captivate presentation on an older model ipod in the article (and both .cp and .mov files are included in the download)...I believe windows mobile is mentioned as well. At a glance it appears worthy of a second look. I'd love to know if any others have tried it out..
"It's extremely easy to convert an Adobe Captivate project into a passive video file using Sothink's SWF to Video converter"
...and there is a method described for a somewhat interactive version that is a bit more time consuming.
Perhaps we're close to being able to include the interactive element?...peace on earth and flash on my ipod = a perfect world

  • Captivate Subscription - Doesn't seem to be able to verify my paid subscription

    This one might be beyond the technical expertise of the community at large, but I will give it a shot.
    My 5.5 and 6 subscriptions worked fine in the past, but 7 just doesn't seem to be able to see that I have a paid subscription. Here is what has transpired so far ...
    I was a beta tester with Captivate 7 and had the normal trial count down in that beta.
    Captivate officially launched before the beta trial expired.
    I uninstalled the beta and downloaded and installed the official Captivate 7 version. I kept my order ordered active for my month by month Cativate 6.
    When I started using the new full version of 7, it opened each time in trial version mode with the countdown picking up from where I left off in the beta version. When I clicked I the option to register it took me to a seriel number page. The Captivate team and Adobe tech support had me download and install Captivate 7 multiple times without a change.  During the week the team was helping with the serial number loop, on my own I had the idea that maybe if I just make a new order of a monthly subscription that might kick it in. It didn't work. THe team broke me out of the serial number loop by having me rename a file so it could be rebuilt.
    With the serial number loop gone, I went to cancel my Captivate 6 and 7 month to month orders and kept the year commitment one.
    Now I get a message that says "Subsription Expired. Unable to connect to the internet. Plaes check your connection settings and chose Try Again." Then a bit lower in the same message box it says "Your subscription for Adobe Captivate 7.0 has expired. Go to the Subscription Manager to renew your subscription ..." There is a count down and I am at about day 16 or so now. It will stop working at 0 I assume.
    My internet has been up and down for the last 6 weeks due to my ISP overselling their bandwidth which I mention in case that may be playing a part in the problem. I have contacted Adobe support and verified with them that my account is indeed paid and active. Then they transferred me to tech support and they had me reinstall the new Creative Cloud interface that runs in the system tray. That seemed to work, so I signed out of tech support. Next morining the message popped up again, so I guess that fix wasn't a fix after all. It was just the message took too long to pop up to accurately confirm the fix.
    At the Drag and Drop Extravaganza seminar, someone said they had some issues because they had two Adobe IDs and their fix was to get the subscription all to one. As far as I can tell I have only one Adobe ID, but I am not entirely sure how to be 100% certain. She said she didn't know she had two IDs before the problem. If anyone knows how I can be sure. let me know.
    OK, so you are all caught up. Any ideas what I should try next? Anyone else have this issue and get a fix for it?

  • I have tried to install and run Captivate 4 but it tell me I have this product installed on 2 other computers. I do not have this installed on any other computers.

    I have tried to install and run Captivate 4 but it tell me I have this product installed on 2 other computers. I do not have this installed on any other computers.
    How do I solve this issue so I can use the Captivate software?

    - You can only sync with one iTune library but you can manually music music and vides with different computers. To do so go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - To get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • Moved iPod to new computer and now it is all messed up

    Help! I just got a new computer and I tried to move my ipod to the new computer. I backed up my library to CDROM, then deauthorized the old computer and authorized the new computer. I loaded iTunes on the new machine and restored my library. Everything looked fine until I tried to put new songs on the ipod from a CD. The new songs showd up in the itunes library and they show up up as being on the ipod on the PC screen, but when the ipod was disconnected, they could not be accessed from the ipod. I tried all of the R's but it not only didn't solve the problem, but now nothing is on the ipod at all. When I connect the ipod, i get the setup assistant box and when I put the Ipod name and click ok, it says that it synced and itunes goes back to saying eveything is still there, even though it is not. Any suggestions?

    using migration assistant (or any other shortcut to properly installing adobe programs) is problematic.
    at this point, uninstall using the adobe uninstallers, if possible.
    clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
    then properly install using the adobe installation files.

  • What are the steps to publish Captivate 6 project for use on an iPhone?

    I found this URL: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/09/publish-to-iphone-from-captivate-5-and-elearning- suite-2.html
    But this seems dated.
    Here's what I just tried:
    - Hit Publish
    - Checked the SWF AND the HTML5 boxes in teh Output Format Options
    sent the xx.htm  URL to a friend with an iPhone to have her try it (by clicking the URL)
    She said it gave her an error about not being able to run it (needing the flash Player)
    I checked my project (very simple one) via 'HTML Tracker' and it listed nothing in the 'unsupported Slide/Object' list)

    Vish-
    Thanks for the response
    I'm using Captivate 6.0.1.240 (the trial version)
    My tester friend who has an both an iPad as well as an iPhone gave me some more updates this AM
    .. Running in the iPad, everything was looking good, including the drag and drop
    ... Running on the iPhone (smaller screen), she reported the following:  a simple quiz screen with multiple choice radio buttons - the actual radio buttons disappeared (see http://download.insight-experience.com/Tom/Captivate/iPhoneNoRadioButtons.PNG)
    Then i tried it on an iPod Touch.. I launched the same URL from our webserver via safari browser
    It brings up the initial screen with the playbutton (arrow in a circle).. I press that button. It does something for a second or two and then the browser window shuts down and the ipod touch goes back to the main iPod screen with all the buttons to launch the different applications.. I've tried this a few times and the same thing happens.. Basically it seems like the captivate project file is shutting safari down for some reason.
    Any ideas on this one?

  • Blue Snowball Mic and Captivate

    I recently purchased the Blue Snowball (USB) Mic to use with
    Captivate. It's properly configured through windows and works in
    other Apps, but it not working in Captivate.
    Please advise

    Hi MissDona and welcome to the community
    Well, I see you are totally new here, so my guess is that you
    logged into the forums after noticing the issue. Had you done this
    prior to purchasing the mic, you could have performed a search and
    discovered that USB microphones are often troublesome with
    Captivate. We typically recommend using the type of mic that has
    the little phono plug like you typically see at the end of earbud
    headphones and plugs into the Walkman, IPod or other MP3 type
    player.
    Perhaps returning to the store and exchanging for this type
    of microphone (or headset speaker mic) is an option?
    Sorry, but I have no "easy button" solution for the USB mic.
    I only know from reading posts that they are frequently not
    recognized by Captivate. I've also seen reports where Captivate
    recognizes them off and on. Maybe they could record audio once or
    twice, then it suddenly stopped.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Make podcasts using Adobe Captivate?

    Is it possible to make a podcast-like project using Adobe

    How can I make that?

    Nothing special - it's using features and settings right out

  • Captivate 2.0 Play/Pause button Not Working

    Hi,
    We are facing a problem in captivate 2.0 file. Due to some
    reason the play/pause button isn’t working in the captivate
    file. There are few links on a particular screen which goes to
    respective slides in the captivate file. Once the learner jumped on
    a respective screen then the Play/Pause button is not working. Even
    though I keep on clicking the Play/Pause button the Audio is not
    stopping, it keeps on playing. When we click thrice on the
    Play/Pause button, then the Audio stops.
    Could you please help me in resolving this issue?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Exact same thing is happening to mine. It's a conspiracy so we'll all have to buy a new piece of ipod tech. I've been happy with it so far, but now it is just like a pack of gum, but less chewy and no tasty goodness.

  • Adobe Update, Captivate 3 - Update 2 failure

    Trying to update Captivate 3. After clicking Help, Updates,
    Adobe downloader starts and finds Captivate 3, update 2. Download
    starts, get's all the way to 12.9MB and then freezes. I'm only .4MB
    from completion, but Adobe Updater will not complete download. Have
    restarted PC, tried using Updater from Acrobat, etc. Same problem
    every time. Is anyone else having this problem? Can some one post
    the link to the actual update file so I can download and install
    manually? I have 4 machines that need the patch.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    quite interesting you say that lovelabs considering individuals who have apple computers are experiencing the same difficulties. For once i think apple isn't the "works every time" product, perhaps (Just perhaps!), they've finally gotten to the point where their hardware assumes its position with the rest of the OS's out there and accepts software incompatibilities.
    ANYWAY
    id say try downgrading from the 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 softwares, since these were ONLY released to take care of jailbreaking Apple made them difficult to downgrade from but there is a way... I think its just the software updates that are causing these issues because time wasn't taken to sort out the bugs prior to the release, so restoring using the old version might take care of these errors and get your ipod back, at least, to functionality.
    -Download Firmware 3.0 (for your device)
    -Go to C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates (files are hidden, so you need to view hidden files)
    -Back up files in the directory
    -Delete all files
    -Paste your 3.0 firmware into the software updates folder
    -Rename it to the exact name of the 3.1.1 firmware (iPod1,13.1.1_7C145Restore.ipsw)
    -Put ipod in DFU mode
    DFU MODE- press the power and home buttons for 5 seconds, (ipod powers off) release power button but hold home button for 20-30 seconds, until your computer beeps.
    * In itunes, it will detect an ipod in recovery mode.
    -Shift click restore and use your renamed firmware and update.
    For a 2nd gen, its the same routine, just make sure you have the correct image file for your unit.

  • Captivates compatible with Logitech Presenter?

    Hello all,
    we are using Captivate mainly as an aid for those who are
    giving presentations to clients.
    I'm just wondering if this Presenter tool is working with
    Captivate 3 movies. It is working perfectly with Powerpoint, only
    the presenters want to use it with Captivate...
    here's just a link to the Logitech website:

  • Captivate not publishing mpeg-4 video's or uploading to youtube

    Hi,
    Got a really annoying problem with Captivate 5.5, it's the trial version and until this I was intending to buy the product. But I've just spent a day producing a video with it, the project comes to 1.8Gb so it's not small.
    Anyway, it all works fine, until I click on File > Publish > Select MP4 Video(*.mp4) > Select the Apple iPhone 4/ Apple iPod Preset and click on Publish.
    The software launches does it's pop-up dialoge thing and Adobe Captivate Video Publisher appears with a second progress box saying "Generating Video..." the progress bar sat at 0% while I went away and watched a 2 hour movie. All it says under the progress bar is "Initializing..." and it does bugger all else. I've rebooted the PC, and tried several times with absolutely no sucess.
    The project exports as a SWF and EXE file just fine. But the process balls up when exporting a .MP4 file. I've even tried different formats. But as far as I can tell the sodding thing isn't even starting the encode.
    The software is running in administrator mode, and exporting to a file location that isn't protected by UAC so there's no reason for it I've even disabled my virus software just in case that was lagging the system down. But nothing I do seems to make the damndest bit of difference.
    Can someone offer any advice. I'm not spending hundreds of pounds on software that can't even export to MP4, not when Camtasia does it just fine.
    (System spec, Windows 64, 4Gb RAM, 3.0 Dual core, nVidia 8800GTS 320Mb)

    No it's not dragging it's feet. I can deal with dragging feet. If I had to leave my system rendering for a day, so be it. I spend more time then that rendering CGI graphics. It's not "dragging it's feet" it's not even getting up out of the sofa. It can't be arsed. Error reporting? Not for Adobe! None of that peasky information for users from them! No, lets just leave them sitting there waiting while it "initializes" that's real helpful. Sitting there with a 0% bar. No helpful information like "whow dude your project is MASSIVE, this will take a while." no handy progress bar showing how the initialization is going. No no, none of that for Adobe. That would be too helpful. Obviously they're going to charge you so much money for the single most unprofessional peace of tat I've ever had the misfortune to use.
    P.S. I chopped up the project, into no more than 15 minute segments. It managed to render out the first 4, how it's doing exactly the damn same thing for section 5. Apparently 15 minutes of real world tutorial too much to expect as well.
    P.S.S. It's hundreds of megabytes isn't a problem in this day and age. I can download a 500Mb file in what? Half an hour? Perhaps 2 for slower users. Hell I download games from Direct2Drive totalling 8.7Gb takes a coulpe of days, but there's no problem doing it. As for users without broadband, DVD's hold 4.7Gb, couple of those isn'g a problem. I've got other solutions that will stick 5 - 7 hours of HD interactive content onto a single DVD without a problem. The only real world bandwidth colleges really have to use is whatever it takes to report the examination statistic and answers at the end of the session. I don't think a PC is sold these days with less than 80Gb, and single issue network deployment solutions aren't a problem.
    It's not like their streaming system is worth damn, if you're worried about users running off with your materials. There's no effective DRM solution built into captivate so nothing stopping users capturing the stream and re-hosting it. Not low bandwidth sales pitch they've got you on is totally insane. I can't see any way in which this product can justify it's price tag. I can only imagine there's educational material out there that's so bad it's making users wonder why they pay for the course in the first place.
    Sod it, I'll program the thing in C++ that'll shave off a few gigabytes given the bloated shite Captivate generates. 1.8 is a sodding joke. I can encode 2.5 hour movies at just over 1.2gb in freaking 720p HD. This thing can't even manage 50 minutes of full motion content, and 40 minutes of still images with mpeg-3 compressed audio inserted into the slide. 1.8 Gb for 50 minutes FMV?
