Difference in background appearance: Published and Previewed vs. Main Screen

Hi!
I'm experiencing issues, from time to time, with published background images being different from those in the main stage of Captivate. I'm using Captivate 6 and recording background images for software simulations.
Occassionally, when looking at the published/previewed version of the Captivate file, the background will not be accurate. When I go to the slide in Captivate, it looks like it should on the screen, but if I select it in the library it's incorrect. I can fix the problem by editing the image with an image editor, but I'm wondering what causes this to happen.
Does anyone know how to avoid getting these background image mishaps?
Thanks!

I've tried to do this fix as well and it will solve some problems, but not all of them. We've experienced several background issues (particularly screen bleed, but this we fix by changing the compression settings).
If the issue is the one I detailed in the original post, the only way I've found to fix it is to graphically edit the background with the image (100%) shown in Captivate.
If the issue is that no matter what graphic edit you do to the background image, the image on publish refuses to change. We've found you can fix it in one of two ways:
Pasting an image of the background over the actual background.
Pasting all the slides in a new Captivate project.
I received a phone call from Sumit Tokas <[email protected]> back in February and mentioned this issue to him. He asked me to email him the problem and said he would look into it. I did, and have yet to hear back. Here's hoping that other people having the same issue will get a more satisfying response.

Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

I want to know the difference between iphoto master folder and previews folder

I want to know the difference between iphoto library master folder and previews folder.. my pictures is stored in master but part of them is also copied into previews.. it occupied too much space.. if I can't change anything in iphoto library, any way to save the space for iphoto? 70G for almost 15,000 pictures, is it reasonable?
i use mac book pro, ilife 11..

70GB for 15,000 photos is reasonable, yes, if the photo files are large.
DO NOT meddle with the contents of your iPhoto Library in any other way than using the commands available in the iPhoto application. What appear to be duplicate files stored in different parts of the library are NOT duplicates, and if you attempt to save space by deleting things in the Finder, you will wreck your library and land in a world of trouble.

Publish and preview issues

When I publish or preview a Captivate 6 project, some of the placeholders change from white to black. Any explanation?

Try to change the slide quality. I presume you left it at Low (8-bit) and that is too low for a lot of objects used in the themes. Change it to Optimized, and see if this solves your problem.

When I touch on the phone icon it just flashes and returns to main screen. Any ideas how I can solve this?

All other functions work just perfectly, except for my phone. I would appreciate some tips.

Have you tried a re-set? (hold power & home until the Apple logo appears and let it re-start)

I am having the same problems with my i-Pad and have no success with Apple support. They cannot seem to figure it out. Have you found an answer to this problem?

Differences between PowerBook G3 400 and G3 500

Are there any differences between a Pismo 400 and a Pismo 500? If I buy a 400 for spares, will I be able to use the parts in my 500? Many thanks. Dafydd

I think I need parts, yes. I now have two Pismos, both 500s. One is great shape appearance-wise and has a nice screen. I recently tried to install an airport card and a new optical drive in it, but the Pismo wouldn't recognise either, by which I mean that the system profiler just behaved as if they were not there. It works fine otherwise. I bought a second Pismo for not much and it is running the Airport card and the new optical drive just fine. So there is nothing wrong with the card or the new drive. Problem is, the Pismo bought for not much is pretty beat up and the screen is going. So, basically, I want to try and combine the two into one where everything works. What do you think the problem is with the first Pismo that won't recognise the new hardware? Thanks for any advice. Dafydd

Captivate 4 can't publish or preview files/sound layers appear black

After re-installing Captivate 4, I was unable to preview or publish files. Additionally, my sound layers appeared as black, empty layers.
I had a difficult time finding a solution, so I wanted to post it here in case somebody else has the same problem.
I was indicating in my searches that I was unable to publish or preview files in C4 and could not find a solution, then I switched the focus of my searches to the audio layers and that's when I found a solution at: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/adobe_captivate_4_installation.html
Now, I have to say this for anyone who may not be aware. You should always back up your registry anytime you make changes to it and that changes to the registry can cause problems. Having said that, here is the fix I used:.
Adobe Captivate 4 Installation Issues on Microsoft Windows XP
You can use SubInAcl tool from Microsoft to try fixing the permission issues in the Windows Registry.
Close all instances of Adobe Captivate and do the following steps -
1) Download the SubInAcl tool from Microsoft Download Center and install it.
2) Download this zip file
3) Extract the zip file in a temporary folder. You will get two files - restoreRegPermCP4.bat, restoreCP4regentries.bat
4) Copy the restoreRegPermCP4.bat to the folder which has SubInAcl.exe installed. Typically this would be at C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
5) Double click to run the restoreRegPermCP4.bat file.
6) Copy the restoreCP4regentries.bat to the folder in which Captivate 4 is installed. Typically it is at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4
7) Open command prompt and navigate to that folder.
8) Type restoreCP4regentries.bat and press enter.
9) Make sure that all the messages that popup say "DllRegisterServer in 'some dll name' Succeeded"
This should have fixed the registry issues and things should work fine.
I hope this saves someone hours of searching for a solution.

So glad it helped you! I know what you mean about Adobe.
Take Care!

tannia: Thanks for your post. I have been struggling with this issue for
over a year. I have a serious love/hate relationship with Adobe. If it
weren't for folks like you, I'd swear off any and everything they make.

I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Difference between Reader, Pro and Preview

I'm running Leopard 10.5.7 with Preview. I also have Acrobat Reader 9.1 and Acrobat Pro 9.2 installed. What is the difference between the 3 programs? My default when opening PDF's from Safari is Acrobat Pro. I can open PDF's just fine with Pro. But when I launch the Reader it asks me if I want to use that program as the default.
I also like the ability to use the built-in Preview function because it seems to use less resources (ram) than Acrobat Pro.
Can someone explain the difference of the 3 programs and what the advantages of one over the other are?
I create PDF's all the time with In Design and know that with Reader I can't save any changes to the PDF I can only print and read from them.
Do I even need Reader installed or is this overkill?

I would say it depends on what (if anything) you need to do when viewing the PDF files in one of those 3 applications.
Acrobat Pro: Provides useful tools in examining the document as well as making some basic corrections. These tools include Output Preview (color warnings, ink viewing, object inspector) and Preflight.
Preview: Has some limitations when viewing documents. Most notably, overprinting cannot be simulated but there may be others. Some transparency blending modes are displayed quite as expected either.
Reader: Lighter weight than Acrobat Pro, but I am not aware of any viewing limitations as compared with Acrobat Pro (and it does support simulating overprinting in viewing)

Difference between execution mode of Print preview and Print for Output

Hello,
Can anybody tell the difference between execution mode of print preview and print for an output (For eg. PO output or Invoice)?. I am trying to download some documents linked to Purchase order to desktop. The code is written in the same driver program for printing PO and it is executed after smartform function module is called. It works fine in print preview mode and it fails in print mode. The reason why download fails in print mode is that GUI not available (just found from debugging).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Anil

HI
try using any other printer and find out if you are getting the correct output. The printer needs to support Multiple Unicode encoding schemes like UTF 8, UTF 16BE, and UTF 16LE, plus special characters and logos, bi-directional text layout, and custom characters..

Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal. Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

Hmmmm.
At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
Click on the Finder icon in the dock
Click on Go > Home
Double-click Library
Double-click Preferences
Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.

Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. How to revert it?

I'm having trouble with something in firefox, it's quite minor but still bugs me. Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. I can't remember what I did to change this if it's my fault; if someone knows how to revert it I'd be thankful.

cor-el : thanks for the pointers! I wish the solution isn't an add-on every time ... if such long-standing behaviour is going to change, the least that could be done is put in an about:config option to get back the old behaviour.

How change back the title background color? All are appearing white and null too.

When I put in the timeline all background titles, there are appearing white when the normal is black. When I open in Motion 5, there are all correct, color black. Background title black and words white. How can I resolve it?? Null is appearing white too.

Tom, thanks for help.
I found it in Preferences - Player - Player Background.
