Cp6 - Bug (button graphics) - phantoms that cannot be removed?

Hello all,
I just added a dozen custom buttons for the buttons gallery (url: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64\Gallery\Buttons).
Some of the new ones work, however, others when clicked, display an older replaced button.
In Properties/General/Button Type=Image button
I see all the older buttons but I don't want these buttons any longer and they are NOT in the gallery. How the heck do I remove these old buttons?
Anyhow, when I scroll through the Image buttons and select the new one(s), they appear as the older button.
The ONLY way I could get Captivate 6 to accept the new button images was to rename the new ones (added a "1" to the file name). This seems a bit ridiculous and I wonder if this is a bug.
Questions:
1. Why can't I simply replace button images (even with the same name)?
2. How do I remove old button images from the scroll list at Properties/General/Button Type=Image button
     These buttons seem to be embedded in the project and are *not* in the gallery.
Thank you,
Doug

Captivate has done this (well since at least version 5).
The last time I researched this - I found the following:
Buttons graphics become somehow embedded in both the cptx file and in your user folder (Users\You\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 6.0).
You can completly delete a button and It will stilll be available. They way I have dealt with that when building templates (not wanting to have numbers on my buttons) is to get the button looking right in a throw-away file, then when it looks good, delete the user directory, remove the old buttons from the gallery and  open a new project file to add the buttons to. However, if you then open and old file that has the old version of the button... well it gets weird.
I certainly consider this a bug and I have reported it (a very long time ago) Apparently the developers don't share that view.

  • How to remove an unsollicited advertisment that cannot be removed by usual steps.

    This afternoon, an ad for skin care products appeared on my screen while I was getting ready to schedule an airline reservation. I tried to delete it by clicking the red circle, by pressing the delete key, by closing the folder, by turning off Firefox, by closing down Firefox, by clicking a forced closing of the program and finally by pressing the start button on the MacBook Pro, causing the entire computer to shut down. After waiting several minutes, I opened the computer again but the uninvited advertisment still filled the desktop and prevented every effort to remove it. I tried activating another browser (one I have not used before). The browser was activated, but the unwanted solicitation covered most of the second browser (Opera).
    I do not fully recall how I finally escaped the advertisement, but it involved an attempt to force quit the Firefox browser which worked. Then I was able to use the Opera browser to make the airline reservation and send in this complaint and request for guidance.
    The URL of the offending advertisement is"healthy-consumer.com/news/skincare-secrets-exposed/?&c1=323exit" followed by a string of additional wording: "exit."
    I don't know how I can use Firefox browser again, given the horrible impact of this URL intrusion. Do you have any suggestions?
    I would also like to file a complaint with any police or governmental agency responsible for dealing with such harmful invasions of our computers. Can you offer any guidance.
    My email is: [email protected] My user name is: spring719. Thank you for any assistance you can provide in this matter.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.

    I cannot load itunes because I have a older verson that can't be removed.
    Doublechecking. Is it saying it can't remove the older version of iTunes, or some other program? If it's a different program, what is the name of the program? (Several different programs can be mentioned in this context: itunes, bonjour, Apple Software Update, etc.)

    This is the Leopad/10.5.0 to 10.5.8 forum.
    Might Try this...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Palm Pre crazy symptoms: "phone offline", will not charge battery, will not start, error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved"

    This is a long description of a series of problems with my new Palm Pre. You may wish to search the text to find your specific issue(s). There is no solution in my post. Look for possible answers in the responses to come.
    I bought my Palm Pre 4 days ago and it arrived 2 days ago. Phone worked great. Last night I plugged in the phone and updated the OS. After completion, I selected "Done" and went to bed.
    - First Series of Issues: "Phone Offline", will not charge battery -
    In upper lefthand corner of the phone there is the message "phone offline". Although the phone has been charging all night it reads "26% battery". I called the general Sprint tech support number and we tried the following things:
    1) Restart phone (press and hold power button, then select "turn off". after power down, press and hold power button to power on.)
    2) Reset the phone (several different ways - call tech support so that you do this correctly)
    The individual at Sprint then sent me to another tech support person, presumably 2nd tier.
    - Second Series of Issues: Error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" -
    Sprint tech support person #2 also had me restart and reset the phone in a number of ways. In her words "we've tried every palm pre trick I know" and each time the phone was unresponsive. Often we received the error message "phone is offline". We did a full erase and after that the phone would no longer restart. At this point the error message came up saying "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" which referred me to www.palm.com for assistance. I think it's important to note here that this was not the typical error message (black screen with white letters) but rather the blue sky background with a semitransparent box over it with white text.
    Sprint tech support person #2 then connected me with Palm support and the dance continued. Again we tried a whole bunch of resetting and restarting and erasing options. Palm support instructed me to go to: www.palm.com/rom to download WebOS Doctor, which I did. I downloaded the file. While that was happening he had me hold the "volume up" button and plug the phone into the charger. This caused a USB symbol to appear on the phone. When the file was complete I received an error message that the file couldn't run. Palm tech support person seemed surprised. I mentioned that I was on a Mac and he said he couldn't help me. He then transferred me to another Palm support person who works with Mac users.
    Palms tech support person #2 then informed me that I should have selected the "mac" download option on www.palm.com/rom. I verbally walked her through the whole series of webpages, telling her that it says that you need Windows (version whatever) or Mac (version whatever) but that at no time was there an option to download a different WebOS Doctor for different operating systems. After some more discussion she told me she would have to have someone call me back tomorrow.
    - Third Series of Issues: phone stuck on USB symbol -
    So at the moment the phone is completely useless. Not fantastic. I booted up the mac in Windows 7 and downloaded WebOS Doc and received the same error. I also ran Windows Vista virtually and received the same error. Later this afternoon I'm heading into work to try the same thing on Windows XP.
    In the meantime, I got onto this forum and located a thread that provided a direct link to the necessary file:
    palm.cdnetworks.net/staging/rom/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
     After downloading that file, which I realized could totally be a virus, I was able to get WebOS Doc working on my computer. It required that I recharge the phone completely before beginning and now it's on the screen that says "Don't disconnect your phone" and the file is at 3% complete. Only... it's been at 3% complete for almost 30 minutes.
    I am hoping that Palm will follow up with me tomorrow, but I'm leaving at 7am on a business trip and would love to have the thing working. Any suggestions are welcome, even if you can just tell me how to get the think disconnected safely before my flight tomorrow. I don't fancy getting through security with my phone wired to my laptop.
    Thanks.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
    There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
    Hope this helps,

    Something may have corrupted your User account permissions. Whatever it was that did that is likely to do it again, and will require further investigation.
    To reset your User account permissions perform the following. It may not fix the problem but it will not make it any worse:
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities > Terminal.
    In the Terminal window type resetpassword and press Enter. A window will open behind Terminal that looks like this:
    Do not enter a new password.
    Select your startup volume at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account with the problem.
    At the bottom of the window, you will see Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
    Click the Reset button.
    Quit Reset Password
    Quit Terminal
    Quit OS X Utilities and restart your Mac.
    Back up your system before doing anything else because disk corruption is another possibility that has to be considered.

  • Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:  FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

    Dear Community,
    Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
    FaceTime Password
    Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
    It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
     I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system. 
    Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
    TIA,
    GonzoBernelli

    That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
    It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • How to create an infinite loop that cannot be cancelled?

    Hi , im new around java and i need a program that keeps on repeating after each each input/uses(generally meant for different user) and cannot either stop using "Cancel" or "x" while stopping only using the "stop" button
    I got a few lines of codes that look like this : String arg = "";
    do{
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog("hi");
    }while ( arg != "y" || arg!= "Y");
    and it cannot be stop with both cancel and"x"(which i wanted)
    but when i used this logic with
    Valid validUserInput = new Valid();
    do {
    userInput = validUserInput.validUserInput(a);
    switch(userInput){
    case 1 : validUserInput.optionOne(b);break;
    case 2 : validUserInput.optionTwo(c);break;
    case 3 : validUserInput.optionThree(d,e);break;
    default : validUserInput.validUserInput(f);
    }while(looping != "" || looping != " ");
    it does not really work(while it will keep looping, it can be easily stop by pressing cancelled or "x")
    So is there any logic or method that can prevent the program from being stop?
    Thankyou!

    No... He already mentioned he wants to "e.g Interactive kiosk", so saying "properly kiosk it" isn't adding any new information. Rather it's just giving the person a dead point of: you're doing it wrong. Pointing out someone is wrong is not a positive enlightenment. Pointing someone in the right direction is more productive.

    Yes it is. He asked how to do it using some Swing trickery, and I said it won't work. Which is true. The OP didn't already know that, clearly, hence the question. Now he does. That's pretty much new information if you ask me.
    Rather it's just giving the person a dead point of: you're doing it wrong.Right. He is. However, the problem is now no longer related to Java, and not something I can help him with. You should try that: not answering questions you don't know the answer to. It's actually more helpful than posting misleading, wrong answers.
    Pointing out someone is wrong is not a positive enlightenment. I'm giving basic technical help, not yoga lessons.
    Pointing someone in the right direction is more productive.As already stated, I am as ignorant of how to make a Java application into a kiosk app as the OP is. What value can I add in light of that information? I began by answering a question that was not stated to be about kiosks. Once the question moved outside of my area of knowledge, I stopped trying to answer.
    I notice you're not giving him any help, being more interested in admonishing others as you are.

  • My back button disappeared last week. cannot go back to the last page

    my back button dissapeared last week, cannot go back to the last page

    My "return to previous page" arrow button sometimes works and sometimes is greyed and doesn't work. Doesn't seem to be any reason or rhyme to it. I'm newly upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard and it is very frustrating to have to punch out of Safari and start the web search over and over again, especially when you don't know if the "return to previous" button is going to work or not. Have pulled in a fresh forward/backward button bar from the custom toolbar sets, but that didn't fix it. Very aggravating and time consuming. 

  • Why do I periodically have emails that cannot be deleted?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Anyone know what this button does, and why it isn't on the Mac version?

    As stated above, its a "Report Bug" button (You can read that by going to View - Customize Toolbar... Obviously its too hard to make tooltips for the app interface). Why it's not on Mac version? Well, probably because they expect many report bugs on Windows version.
    Or maybe they think Windows users are stupid enough not to find it in the menu.
