How do I add a narration without making my files huge?

I've just prepared a Keynotes presentation, with is about 700KB without narration. I've added narration using the 'record slideshow' function. It is 22 minutes long with simple voiceover. The filesize leaps to 350MB - is there a way I can add a narration and keep my filesize reasonable? Say, under 100MB, which is the SlideShare maximum.

+Menu > Share > Export… > QuickTime > Formats: Web Movie, Small > Audio: Include audio+
Open the resultant QuickTime movie in QuickTime.
+Menu > File > Export… > Export: Sound to AIFF+
Open the resultant yourname.aif file in iTunes
+Menu > Preferences > General > Import Settings… (button 2/3rds down) > Import Using… AAC Encoder > Setting: Spoken Podcast > OK > OK+
This will set the encoding for the next step with the Audio selected:
+Menu > Advanced > Create AAC Version+
iTunes will the proceed to convert the Audio to a much smaller .aac copy. My small sample went from 5mb down to 144kb with no audible change in quality. To locate where that file is being stored, select the .aac copy and hit cmd R, it will be revealed to you in the Finder.
Go back into Keynote:
+Menu > View > Show Media Browser > Audio > Type the name of the audio file in the bottom field > It is the one with the .m4a extension+
Ideally you will chop this audio file into one piece for every slide using 3rd party software such as *MP3 Trimmer* or Fission and add each piece to each slide.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

"it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to? That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

How can I add new games without overwriting the old ones?

I have just purchased two new games in the itunes store and although they are showing in the library (under applications) my previously purchased games are not. In Summary under games it will not let me choose selected games only 'all games' and when I press sync warns that the existing games will be replaced. How can I add these games without deleting the older ones? Also if I did want to remove a game from my ipod how do I do it?

Part of the problem is that I can never sync the whole thing as I dont keep all my music in my library (it seems silly to have my enture cd collection on the computer).
Clearly it ISN'T silly as it avoid issues like you are having right now. If you need more space, get an external hard drive. To me it is much sillier to only have your stuff on the iPod and no where else as the iPod, as a small portable player, is much more likely to be dropped, lost, damaged, stolen, forgotten somewhere, etc.
While I am not familiar with the use of games on the iPod (I have never bought any) you can switch the iPod to manually manage and then you can add content to your iPod without losing what is already there. Perhaps it works for games as well.
But long term, I strongly suggest you keep all your stuff in your library so if you need to (you have to perform a restore on the iPod, you lose it and buy a new one, etc.) you can very easily sync it all back to the iPod when needed.
Good luck,

iPhone is designed to sync with one computer only, if you sync with another, all your content will be erased and replaced by whatever is on that computer.

You can sync an iPhone to only one computer. If you connect it to a different computer (or you have never connected it to a computer) it will delete all iTunes content on the phone and replace it with the iTunes content on the current computer. As Avis says, you can transfer your purchases to the computer you are about to sync to, but only if that computer is authorized to the same account that the content was downloaded under.

How do we add trap-recipients to the acl file?

How do we add trap-recipients to the acl file?
Any examples.

Here's some documentation I am working on for my place of work - hope this helps:
There are two Sun-provided configuration files of note that must be maintained and provided to the SNMP agent program as command line arguments when it runs. They are:
X.acl (subagent access control file, where X is your agent name)
X.reg (subagent registration file, where X is your agent name)
Note: For more information on either of these files, read the Solstice Enterprise Agents User Guide found on the Sun website, but don't expect too much.
The reg file specifies the subagent name and OID tree it is responsible for, among other things.
The acl file contains a list of communities that will be sent traps. This file will need to be periodically updated with the IP addresses of any entity that wants to receive traps from the X subagent. The file looks in part like this:
acl = {
communities = public, private
access = read-write
managers = dv, localhost
trap = {
trap-community = SNMP-trap
hosts = dv, localhost
enterprise="Xenterprise"
trap-num = 1-5
Where "dv" and "localhost" are configured in the /etc/hosts file as IP addresses to send traps to and "Xenterprise" is an enterprise that must be registered EXACTLY as is shown in the /etc/snmp/conf/enterprises.oid file. (Note: Some of the enterprises in this file have spaces within their name. This WILL NOT WORK. So if for some reason, an enterprise you were going to use is "MY Enterprise" you must changes this file because your MIB will not compile with an enterprise with spaces in the TRAP-TYPE declaration.
So, to add a new community, add an argument to the "managers" and "hosts" line in the .acl file and ensure that this reference has its IP address listed in the /etc/hosts file.
Furthermore, in /etc/snmp/conf/snmpdx.acl a comparable entry needs to be added as well. The snmpdx executable is the master agent that the subagent communicates with. It also has an entry in its .acl file as follows:
trap = {
trap-community = SNMP-trap
hosts = dv, localhost
enterprise="Xenterprise"
trap-num = 1-5

How do we initialize DAL variables without making changes to INI files?

We have an application which currently use only two DALs. We would like to add a DAL to popluate certain data on the form. We have encountered an issue with initialization of dal vairables.
One of the solutionis that set FlushDalSymbo = Yes in the FSISYS file.
However, this involves INI file change which we would like to avoid.
So, is there a way to initialize dal variables, without making changes to INI files? If so, how?
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
Initializing a variable is simple, you just need to set the value to blank or zero:
Variable = ""
#Variable =0
$Variable = 0.00
You can place the declaration at the beginning of your script, of course replacing "Variable" with the actual name of you variable.

How do I add a contact without syncing?

I have many more contacts on my Mac than I would like on my phone. I just got a new friend's phone number, and I would like to add the information without having to call or text the number first.

Since you can sync contacts by groups, my suggestion would be to create a group specifically for the iPhone, and move the appropriate contacts to that group. Then you can set up syncing for that group only in iTunes.
When you add new contacts on the Mac, add them to the appropriate group to be synced or not.

How do I add a submenu without having to add a page?

I have a "Services" page created for our customer. There are currently two sub-pages from the Services page each having their own SubMenu button. On the services page are two types of services that DO NOT need their own pages (which is why they are on the root of Services).
The customer wants submenus for the two services that are on the root of the services page. Currently when you hover your mouse arrow over the "Services" button, the submenues with pages only appear.
How do you create a submenu without having to create a page?

Hello,
In case you are looking for a customized Menu then I would suggest you to use Manual Menu. Using Manual Menu you will be able to create your own Menu and will be able to link each Menu to the desired pages/files/URLs.
The only thiinh that will be a task would be creating the whole Menu again (as it is not created automatically). Please refer to screenshot below on how to create Manual Menu :
Hope this helps.

How do i add time and date to target file

hello,
1. When do we generally go for FCC?
2. Is it possible to assign field seperator without FCC on the reciever side file adapter?
3. how do I add timestamp as well as DATE to the target file?
thnks
venkat

Hi venkat
1. When do we generally go for FCC?
    we can do the FCC at sender side as well as at the receiver side.
    Sender side: we do the FCC at the sender side only if we are getting a flat file   from the sender, and so that it can be understand by the XI,because XI can understand only the XML.
     Receiver side:we do the FCC at the receiver side only if the receiver requires the flat file.
2. Is it possible to assign field seperator without FCC on the reciever side file adapter?
no, it is not possible.
3. how do I add timestamp as well as DATE to the target file?
if you want to add date and time in the target file for this you have to select the parameter
File Construction Mode* : AddTimeStamp
in the processing parameters of the file adapter(Receiver).
Thanks

How do I add to "properties" of an MP3 file in Windows so iPod will accept?

I posted a problem yesterday, which I was clueless about. Today I know what the problem is, but don't know how to fix it.
I have 30 MP3 files in a playlist, all from an identical album. I can play every file on my computer through iTunes with no problems. HOWEVER.... my iPod only "recognises" 23 of the 30 files and won't accept the remaining 7.
I have updated the "info" part of the tags, made it a compilation etc. THat didn't work. THe problem is the the amount of detail in the "properties" section of each file. The 23 that the iPod will accept have many details in the properties section ... eg. artist, title, duration, audio etc etc .. the 7 that will not migrate across only have two details - "type" and "size"...
SOOO my question is: How do I add to the "properties" of the MP3 files in Windows so the iPod will accept them?
Would really appreciate some help here, its drivin me nutz!!

Hi,
As it didn't work in iTunes, I'm not sure completing the id3 fields for your 7 files through another app will correct the problem. But in any case, one program I use to edit id3 tags is ID3-TagIT. It's freeware.
