CP5.5: Play CBT in Overhead Projector - What's a Good Slide Size?

We are in the process of converting all of our PPT training into CBTs using CP5.5.
I tried 1024 x 768 for the slide size but it was too large on the overhead projector.
What slide size should I aim for so that it fits on the screen?

Hi there
I believe that an overhead projector typically assumes 1024x768. I use dual overheads at the church where I'm a media jockey and that's the size those use. I might imagine that's quite common as they were just installed last January.
However, Captivate tosses a wrinkle in the mix by adding another number of pixels to the height. This is done in order to make room for a playback control below the main part of the movie. Additionally, when you are using a browser to present the Captivate movie, you also need to account for the area reserved for the right scrollbar. Not only that, but again in a browser you also need to subtract pixels to account for the Menu bar, toolbars and Status bar.
How exactly are you presenting the Captivate?
Cheers... Rick

What is a good storage size when purchasing an iPad?

what is a good storage size when purchasing an iPad?

Keep in mind > How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
Actual capacity on a 16GB iPad is approximately 13.82GB.
Video files can take up space fast not including other data such as Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Music, Notes, Apps, and Bookmarks so you may want to keep that in mind before you select the 16GB.
Your Mac must be running at the minimum v10.5.8 in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPad.
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 9.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account

What is a good partition size

I am bootcamping because I want to play games. I want to play games on the windows partition and work on the mac partition but I am unsure of the partition sizes I should use.
please help

No less than 50GB with 60-80GB.
No idea how big the games will be and then there are the benchmark tools and such but it takes 10-12GB of free space on top of Windows; page and hibernation also eat up 8GB or more.
And be sure to leave 25-30% free on the Mac side.

What is a good slide and negative scanner?

Just a warning, I'll be posting this in multiple forums to get a good selection of opinions.
Hi, I need to buy a film and slide scanner. I like epson, but in my experience with these types of scanners, they can be sketchy in quality. Can you suggest a good slide and film scanner that you've used and that works well?
Thanks,
Stan

I've used a Nikon Super Coolscan 8000 before, with spectacular results -- great colours, good grain management, excellent infrared-detection dust and scratch removal, fantastic resolution and sharpness. My only complaint is that due to the curvature (concavity) of slide film, the focus was not equally sharp across the entire image. If focus is set to the centre, the edges and corners were a bit sharper. Anyway know of a scanner in the same price ballpark (circa $1500-$3500) that handles that aspect better? eg. glass sandwich to flatten the film or something?

What is the best overhead projector for a new 13" MacBook Pro

What is the best overhead projector for a new retina display macbook pro?

The key issue you should be worried about is what's the best projector for the intended room/environment/audience you will be projecting from/to. The Mac is just a content provider and will always exceed the resolution capabilities of all projectors in the market so will have to downgrade its output to suit their reduced capabilities.
Only thing you may want to make sure is that the projector have digital HDMI input. That way you can plug the Retina in with just a cable and not need to purchase any intervening adapter dongle prone to failure or misplacement.

New Macbook Air stopped transmitting to overhead projector

Hello,
Up until last week, I was successfully using 2 different overhead projectors with my MacBook Air (purchased around 2008 or 2009). I've just bought a new MacBook Air, and it has stopped projecting. I use the same connector (VGA?). Seems like it worked at first (showing my desktop, powerpoint, etc.), but it wouldn't show Yotube. Later that same day, at a different projector, it wouldn't project anything at all.
Is this a common problem? What can I do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What type of input does the projector use? A lot use VGA, in which case you'd need this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/B/mini-displayport-to-vga-adapter

Overhead Projector Extension for VGA?

I have an overhead projector (connected to a Smartboard) in my classroom and I want to connect my iPad 2. I know I can connect using the VGA adapter. My question is, is there some type of extension cord so I can attach to the VGA connector up on the projector, but have my iPad down with me? There are so many different cord types and connectors, and I don't want to buy the wrong thing. (the projector does not have an HDMI port). Thank you!

While you can do this, it's somewhat awkward and clumsy - particularly since the adaptor drops out of the ipad very easily. Not the best sight lines.
Some alternatives.
connect an Apple TV to your projector. It is expensive (99 dollars), and you'll need to get an adaptor to connect it (I think those run about 30), but it will allow a wireless connection.
Check out Reflection. It allows you to project your ipad image onto a computer, and if the computer is displaying on the projector then the iPad image will show on the screen. Much cheaper than the Apple TV.
Use the iPad to control the computer - not what you were thinking, but would allow you to control Smartboard software on the iPad.
It's important to note that, while you can project an iPad image onto a Smartboard, you can't use any of the interactive touch features of the Smartboard with it - you can't control the iPad from the touchscreen, and you can't run Smart software on the iPad (there is a viewer that will allow you to read Smart notebooks on the iPad, I believe, but not a full software suite).

How do i connect to an OHP (Overhead Projector) with MacBook Air?

How do i connect to an OHP (Overhead Projector) with MacBook Air? Is it possible? What leads would I need?
Thanks.

Good question! The simple answer is, I haven't the foggiest idea. I will be going abroad, so don't know what kind of OHP i will have to use. I have a lead that connects with a tv (HDMI - I think). But am not sure about OHPs.

HT1338 I'm trying to attach my MacBook Pro to an overhead projector and can't get it to work. If I go to System Prefs/Displays, I see the box on the screen. But when I collapse the Prefs the desktop is not seen. Can you help?

I'm trying to get an overhead projector to identify my macbookpro. If I go to Prefs and select screens that dialogue box comes up on screen. So I know there's nothing wrong with the VGA cable. But when the screen box is collapsed nothing happens. My computer is not recognized by the projector. Can anyone help?
On a PC I used to hit "control F5. But I don't believe that works on a MacBook. Any suggestions?

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

My iPod shuffle says it has 9 songs on it , but it will only play two of them. What is the problem and what do I do to hear the other songs

My iPod shuffle says that there are 9 songs on it, but it will only play two of them. What is the problem and how can this be fixed?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
