Director publishing problem from mac to .exe projector

hi, im having a problem publishing my movie from a mac to .exe projector. whenever i try to publish it, the popup says the file is damaged and it could not find the chunck.
" chunckID='FCRDd' "
but it works perfectly when publishing it to an .app projector.
any idea how to solve this problem? should i try opening the file from a windows PC and publish it from there?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

Does not look easy.
You seem to have a slot loading, CD-RW iMac from 2001 (500-700 MHz).
Your eMac is more promising:

It has a mini-VGA output port.
I'd take the eMac (get the VGA display adapter to connect) or ask around, if anyone lets you use his/her iBook or PowerBook to present. Much easier than mess with your presentation on a PC (and you know the Mac
If you manage to get the presentation right in PowerPoint on the Mac, you could burn a CD to transport the file to the PC. This usually works without any problem. (If the PC does not recognize the memory stick, it could be it runs on an old version of Windows, and needs to have USB drivers installed for the memory sticks.)
Hope this helps

PS: If all else fails, to mail to the other person: divide the file (part of the slides, only slides with pictures matter) into chunks that are smaller than 2MB after conversion to PP - burning a CD is much faster.

WD external problems from MAC to PC

So I have 1TB WD external hard drive that I currently have formated for MS-DOS(FAT) so that I can use it both on MAC and PC. However, when I do connect to a PC, for whatever reason, it shows each file I have twice. One being highlighted and unopenable and the other fine (temp files?). Doesn't seem to a be a real issue just more of keeping the harddrive easy to navigate and sort. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Also, on the pc there is no option to 'eject' the disc. Is this something with the harddrive or ****** windows?

How do I format an external drive (My Passport) from mac to pc (iOS Snow Leopard) without losing my data?
1: Remove the data off the drive
You can do this by installing MacDrive on the Windows PC to access the Mac HTFS+ format
Or you can use a Mac to remove the data.
2: Format the drive on the PC (preferably) by right clicking on the drive and choosing format
A: If data on the drive will have larger than 4GB sized files, then the format you want is exFAT
(if your using Windows XP, you can download exFAT from Microsoft)
B: If the data on the drive will always have less than 4GB sized files, then you should choose FAT32 for most compatibility with all other machines.
3: If you can only format the drive on the Mac then open Apple's Disk Utility in the Utilities folder
Select the drive on the far left, it should have the makers name and a size, then click Partition.
Now select the box and click Options: MBR Then select Format: exFAT or MSDOS (FAT32) and click Apply.
4: If any chance you need to secure delete any data remaining on the drive form being recovered, use the Erase with Zero (or 7x for very secure) before formatting.
Note: Formatting a drive on the PC there will be a option for NTFS, this is for access by Windows only, but software can be installed on the Mac to read/write this format.
If you use exFAT or FAT32, the Mac can read and write this format just like Windows can, no need for extra software.
Linux can read/write just about any format.

Networking problem from Mac running Leopard to Mac running Yosemite

I have a curious networking problem and I would love some suggestions about what might be causing the problem and how to cure it.
I have a PowerMac G5/1.8DP running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard with a number of external drives attached that I use as backup for all my RAW files. These are mirrored on three drives.
When I mount the drives on my iMac desktop, running OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite, over a gigabit ethernet network, two things are happening - 1. some of the folders are invisible (although they are actually there and populated on the PowerMac) and 2. spurious, empty, folders with odd names appear on the Yosemite desktop.
I have checked on the PowerMac to see that the folders all contain files - they do - yet over the LAN they appear as empty folders with gobbledygook names. This happens on all my Macs running Yosemite so it appears to be a Yosemite problem, rather than a Leopard problem. To further reinforce that I have also checked the PowerMac from three other Macs, running Tiger and Leopard, and they can see exactly what is on the drives, with no missing folders or oddly named folders.
The images show 1. the folder as it appears on the PowerMac running OS X 10.5.8, with two folders RAW Files 26 and RAW Files 28 highlighted, 2. the same folder seen on the Yosemite desktop with two folders, RAW Files 26 and 28, missing and 3. the same folder on Yosemite with three oddly named empty folders.
I am at a loss to know how to cure it and hope that someone will be able to help.

You can never, never, never transfer any installed version of PSE on any platform. You must always install from scratch on a new machine. By trying to do so you have made more work for yourself. You will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is a necessary step to break the links within the program. Then you can go around and manually remove everything related to PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from your username>library>preferences and the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe. You must go to these locations manually; spotlight will not help you with this type of search.
Then you can reinstall from your original media or from the download here:

Hard drive died, how do I re-establish a published calendar- from .mac?

I had (have) a published calendar on ical 1.5.5 on a workstation iMac. The hard drive died, but I can still acess the calendar from other workstations. A new hard drive is installed, and now I can subscribe to the calendar but not modify it. How can I regain control and make it a published calendar on my workstation again?
Thanks

Hi,
Subscribe to the calendar, then export it (File > Export). Save the exported copy. Delete the subscribed calendar in iCal. Follow these instructions to un-publish the calendar from your .Mac account. Import the saved version and re-publish it.
Best wishes

Proxy authenication problems from Macs.... argh

I am seeing this regularly in mixed Windows/Macs environments where all machines proxy over 8080 to the TMG box (integrated authentication).
I can have a firewall rule that allows traffic from Internal to External over HTTP/HTTPS for Domain Users and both clients, Macs and PCs, will be able to browse internet fine so long as they have approrpiate proxy server settings configured on either their
machine or browser.
However, some websites that use Flash or Java, for viewing videos result in the Macs NOT working. Looking in the firewall loggging I can see that access is being denied because the Mac is not passing user credentials and is attempting to go out
using anonymous credentials (which is not allowed). This ONLY happens for the Macs, and ONLY happens on certain websites, and ONLY for stuff like Java/Flash, etc.
Anyone else running into this? It's happening so frequently that I am about to just turn OFF all proxying to TMG and have everyone go out as secure NAT clients because everytime this happens, I have to create a specific rule for THAT website to allow
SecureNAT.
Thoughts??

Hi,
Your analysis is correct. TMG (or any other proxy) will ask user for authentication, if the rule is configured to do so. Its upto the client (browser or software entity trying to access internet) to authenticate to the proxy. If that entity is not designed
for such proxy authentications, they will fail to access the resource.
If you see in your logs that the browser/application (Safari/Java) on MAC is unable to authenticate to proxy, thats exactly the reason its failing. If you look above that, you should see 407 messages, where the proxy server is telling the client to
negotiate and authenticate for proxy.
Hope this help. If you have any furhter questions, please let me know.

Network Printer Problem from Mac to Windows

Hi all, hoping someone can help. I have a Canon MF4350d printer which is shared on a windows machine. I can access the windows machine, I have installed the latest drive for this printer onto my mac, from the canon website and when i go to print I get the following:
Canon UFR ll Printer Driver
An error occurred.: -50
Then the printer icon starts jumping and when i click on that I see the following under status:
On Hold(Authentication required)
I have yet to print from this macbook to a networked printer. Very disappointing.
Anyone have this issue? Anyone know of a working fix? Thanks Guys.

If you search within this forum (search block, upper right), you will see that PAHU has answered this several times. For example, search for "UFRII windows."
Printing on OS X isn't quite as simple as on Windows - quite often, manufacturers provide drivers that are limited to the comm protocol "they want you to use," and Windows Printing (SMB) is usually not one of those. In fact, most USB printers get USB-only drivers.

Wireless printing problems from Mac to my new Officejet 6700

I have just purchased the Officejet 6700 for my office. We have 7 mac laptops and one HP. Currently the only printer that can printer wirelessly to the 6700 is the PC. The first day I had the printer I was able to get my MacBook Air to print wirelessly, but since then it says it can't find the printer. That is the same message all the other Macs are getting.
Any advice??

Hi,
I would rather suspect Multicasting lack of support or wrong configutation within your router, this will explain that behavior as Apple computers, unlike Windows, dicsover the device using Bonjour which relies on Multicasting.
Please let me know your router brand and model in order to better understand the model.
Additionally did you used a different multifunction device over the network prior the 6700?

Trouble switching from Mac to windows in boot camp

Ever since my imac updated early last week I am having trouble switching from the mac side back to windows. Switching fromt windows to mac is fine. I do most of my work on the mac side graphics design but for my job some of the software we use only runs on windows and this is the side i have to use to clock in and out and do someother work on.
I am using the option button as I have for the past 3 months and it worked just fine but since this update i am having to try 4-5 times before I am successful. I can do it by shutting down the computer, pushing the option button then turning back on and that seems to work, well it did Friday at least, today its not working again, i am having to try 4-5 times yet again by shutting down the computer then turning back on and i really dont like doing that 4-5 times in a row just to switch back to windows to do one quick thing then switch back.
any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!

To see if it resolves the problem, from Mac OS try setting your chosen boot disk in Preferences -> Startup Disk. You can do the same to go back to Mac OS from Windows in the Startup Disk control panel.

Making a .exe projector from Mac OS

I use director to make presentations. I am on a mac,
and have MX2004 which can make a .exe projector. But I can not see
to get the paths right so that the .exe projector can find the
videos. I was once told that the projector does not look from the
"top" of the path, but only follows "down" from where the projector
was created. Does this make sense? Is this true? Can you point me
to a resource?

Hi,
I found it best to have videos as the same level as the
movies that call them or in
sub folders, but not at a higher level. Higher level does
work though but I'd
recommend avoiding if you can. Video paths should be be fine
as long as you
maintain the same structure and path relationship from when
you import the video to
when you distribute on a CD. To ensure movies will always
find video, you can put
all the videos in the same folder as the movies that call
them. If you want to keep
your files tidy and more organized, you can create a stub
projector than links to
your starting movie in a sub directory. And in that sub
folder, you can have all
your Director movies and videos.

Director 12- can't create a windows projector - problem writing file error

I am trying to create a windows projector of a project. when I get the following error - problem writing file - file name- Can't compress file that has been modified and not saved. The file has not been modified and has been saved. Any help would be great.

Hi.
You say you have tried publishing to a new empty folder. From the video I can see that the folder has table1.app in there (25 secs in) which is a Mac projector that has been published.
Yet you have Windows Projector checkbox ticked at the start of the video.
I publish Mac and Windows projectors to entirely seperate folders as a matter of practice.
I call the folders "Published" and "PublishedMac" and that is where the respective projectors for each piece of software lives.
Perhaps there is some mix up between Mac and Windows publishing that is going on because
you are publishing both to the same folder?
Hope this helps.

Installation problems for Adobe Director 11.5 for Mac OS X Lion

I've downloaded other Adobe products from this site before, like Photoshop Lightroom, etc. There were no problems concerning installation with that. But when I downloaded the Adobe Director 11.5 for Mac recently, the process of installation stops in the middle of installing it. I thought there was just something wrong with the file I downloaded, so I downloaded it again, and again. But every time I try to install it to my Macbook Pro, it gets stuck at the exact same place. What's wrong with it?
Also, I tried downloading a Windows based Adobe Director. And it said the trial period is for 90 days. But when I activated it, it only registered as a trial for 30 days. Can you please help me with this? I badly need it for my schoolwork.
Thank you in advance!

I'm having the same problem - I can't install on my Mac running OSX 10.8.2. I was having trouble with an existing installation of Director 11.5. I was hoping a fresh install may solve the problem, but the installer freezes at about 75% complete.
Hey Adobe - just put us out of our missery already and either fix Director or officially announce it's been abandoned!

Pb with optoma EP752 projector since sw refresh moving from Mac OS 10.5.4 to 10.5.8

I did a sw refresh moving from Mac OS 10.5.4 to 10.5.8 and since then my Optoma EP752 projector does not work properly. The default 1024x768 resolution is no more a choice from the monitor section. Instead I am proposed a 1024x516 one which does not suit my needs at all.
When I go back to genuine Mac OS 10.4 the pb is solved. I tested my projector on a Mac OS 10.6.8 and here comes the problem again.
I am trying to locate the root cause of this keeping in mind that one of the objectives of Mac OS 10.5.8 was "Resolves an issue in which certain resolutions might not appear in the Display pane in System Preferences." I am still wondering whether it is my projector or my OS... This device has always been connected the same way which is : mini DVI to DVI using a genuine apple adaptor

You should update all the way to 10.5.8 using the combo updater, which you can download from here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
Do I have to buy iLife 09 outright?
Yes.
Can I buy just iMovie 09?
Nope!
Lastly, you have plenty of RAM. The only way to increase this would be to sell your two ram sticks on eBay and buy two new 2GB sticks.

Another user with publishing problems -- proof that it is .Mac related

Just before Christmas I started getting the dreaded "Publish Error: There was an error updating .Mac" message every time I published. I read all the previous posts, even the ones dating back to October. I think I can conclusively show that the problem is on the .Mac backend, and not at all on my computer. Here is what I did: first, I created a temporary .Mac account; second, I moved my Domain file for safe keeping and did not replace it; third, I logged into the Guest User account that is now available in Leopard. I then attempted to publish a single page website from iWeb from both my normal login and the guest login to both my normal .mac account and the temporary one. (To switch between .Mac accounts I used the system preferences panel when iWeb was not running). The results are as follows:
.......................Regular .Mac.......Temporary .Mac
Normal Login..Publish Failed......Publish Succeeded
Guest Login.....Publish Failed......Publish Succeeded
This tells me that there is no problem on my computer, or with my network connection, and the problem is squarely on the .Mac side of things.
I sent this message off to the standard help page, and got the standard form letter back. In reply I asked them to reset my .Mac account so it would appear "new". I'll see what they say.
It would be interesting to see how many other people with "publish" problems can repeat this test.
-=[doug]=-

I've done what appears to be the standard littany of things:
1) Confirmed that I am running the latest version of iWeb (2.02) on 10.5.1 (although the problem persists when using my backup of 10.4.10 that includes the ilife update)
2) Changed my .Mac password, even though it was less than 20 characters
3) Published all of my previous website to the temp .mac (in chunks to avoid the space limitations)
4) Successfully published my site to a folder
5) Successfully uploaded that folder to my iDisk
6) Attempted to republish and republish all multiple times
7) Deleted iWeb's plist
8) rebooted
9) logged out and back into my .Mac account
10) confirmed that there is no password protection on my site
11) confirmed that there are no comments on my site
12) deleted assets.[membername].plist from the Domain file
13) Confirmed that my password in Keychain is correct
14) Run Keychain First Aid
15) deleted Sites.RSS from my iDisk
16) deleted the website and index.html from the iDisk
So, I have done a fair amount of ground work here, and am not just spouting off against Apple/.Mac. However, I still claim that the fact that I can successfully publish to a temporary .Mac account while the exact same iWeb content fails when being published to my normal .Mac account implies that there is something wrong with my .Mac account -- it is almost as if Apple is trying to eliminate its paying customers (since there are no problems with the free account).

If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.
