How do I pause a slide without the playbar?

Hi I am using Cap 6 and I do not have a playbar on my published project, I have a back and next button, how can allow the user to stop or pause the slide do I need some java script on a button?

You'll have to use the system variables cpCmndPause and cpCmndResume. More details about system variables in this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6
You can assign the action 'Assign cpCmndPause with 1' as Success action for the Pause button, but would recommend doing it with a standard, not with a simple action (anyway those variables are not available in the dropdown list of the Action accordion). And to play again it has to be 'Assign cpCmndResume with 1'
If you want it to be done with one button, create a conditioal action :
IF cpCmndPause = 1
Assign cpCmndResume with 1
ELSE
Assign cpCmndPause with 1

How can I pause a slide until the user clicks a button?

I wish to pause a slide until the user clicks a button (which I've created out of a Smartshape). The thing is that I haven't added a click box object over the smartshape but have only set the smartshape properties to "Use as Button". If I were to add a clickbox object, I would get a "Pause project until user clicks" in the options section of the properties. However in using a smartshape as a button, I cannot find this option. I am using Captivate 6. Seems strange as I would have expected to see the same checkbox option even if I were to use a smartshape as a button but I dont. Can't someone help me and let me know if I'm missing something.
Of course I could use a clickbox over my smartshape to achieve what I want, but I want to avoid thsi for two reason:
I want to avoid adding another object when I dont need it.
My smartshape is a right arrow (indicating "Begin"), and I dont want a squarish click box sitting on top of a triangle because that just shows the hand pointer even if the cursor isn't exactly over the arrow button because it enter the clickbox area.
Thanks,
Sean

Select the Smart Shape button , go to Properties > Timing accordion > Pause After and set the number of seconds from the beginning of the slide for it to pause.

If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft website I've clicked the options which mean I shouldn't need the CD (which wasn't supplied with the laptop), but poartway through updating the service pack I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.
Any suggestions?

Hi
Did you mean a Office or One Note?
As far as I know the One Note is a part of the Recovering Image and the CD is not delivered with the unit. Furthermore the Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.
Nevertheless, did you check the update function in the Help i.e. in Word?
There you will find a options called Check for Updates

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
Read this from a site I found:
Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2) < your profile
Try using Lion Recovery

How can I create multiple accounts without the necessity to create multiple email addresses? I now have 2 i-phones (mine and my wife's), 1 i-pad (mine), 1 i-pad mini (10 year old's), and 1 I-pod touch (11 year old's). I would like to maintain purchase control, but would like to be able to have a separate account ID for each person. Is that possible?

Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account

how can I activate my iphone4 without the owner's ID it was just given to me by a friend AND WE CAN'T CONTACT THE OWNER ANYMORE

There is no other way. Without the correct credentials you won't be able to use it.
Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, Apple will not help unless you have the original receipt (but not from some 3rd party)

How do I center my slide in the window in keynote

how do I center my slide in the window in keynote?
I know I can fit to window, but can I have the slide smaller than my window and centered?
It stays in the upper left hand corner.

You don't say, but I'll assume you mean that this occurs when Keynote is in "edit" mode. The positioning of the slide boundaries snug to the upper left is fixed in Keynote and can't be changed.
Many have looked for ways to add new objects, images, etc., coming from above and/or from the left off-slide. This can be done with some creative steps.
The simplest solution to this is to attach (group) an "invisible" handle to the object and use the handle to move the object out of sight to the left or above. Create an object such as a narrow rectangle, assign it NO FILL, NO LINE and while it is selected, Shift-Click on the object you wish to hide and then Arrange > Group. Now you have an invisible handle that you can use to hide your object off-slide.

Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.

If using a phone locked to a carrier, you must have the original SIM or one from that carrier to activate your iPhone.

Creating "Back" Navigation in a Branching Project Without the Playbar or a TOC?

Hello,
I've been struggling with accomplishing a very simple goal: in my Captivate project, I want there to be a "Back" button on every single slide that sends the user back one slide based on their navigation history throughout the slide. The playbar must be disabled, and I don't want the user to have to deal with a Table of Contents.
Because this is a somewhat complex branching project, using the "go to previous slide" selection for a button will not work -- this simply sends the user one slide back in the filmstrip, and that might not be where I want them to go.
Using the "go to last slide viewed" selection for a button also will not work. This creates an infinite loop in which once the user clicks the "Back" button on one slide, they will go to the previously viewed slide, but when they click it again, they will return to the original slide. For example, repeatedly clicking this Back button will send the user from slide 2 to slide 1, then slide 1 to slide 2, then slide 2 to slide 1....etc.
Basically, all I want is an internet browser-style back button within my project. I figure this is a fairly common thing that project creators want to do, so I checked for any available widgets that might offer the desired functionality, but I've come up with nothing.
It would seem as if my only hope lies in two potential places: either the execute Javascript selection for buttons, or Advanced Actions.
Before I dig too deeply there, I was wondering if anyone had a simple solution for this very basic problem. I've looked around the forums, and this particular thread looks very relevant: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575291#4575291 . In that thread, it looks like the original poster just decided to create a separate swf for each of the linear branches of their project. For my project, this would be a most inelegant and clutttered solution.
Anyone have any ideas? If I must use Advanced Actions / variable creation, could you point me in the right direction? I'm on Captivate 5, by the way. Thanks.

Indeed this issue has come up several times over the years, because some authors would like Captivate content to work in much the same way that other web-based content playing in a browser does. When users see content in a browser, they expect there will be a Back button that takes them to the last-visited slide. If they just keep clicking that Back button, they expect it will retrace their path through the content.
What happens under the hood in the browser is that it stores all the URLs that the user visited in an array of sequential values, which allows the browser to retrace the user's path.
Captivate currently has no built-in array facility available to authors for this purpose. Captivate variables can only store one value. Advanced Actions are not powerful or flexible enough to build the kind of programmatic loops that would allow you to traverse a series of variables to try and duplicate typical Back button functionality.
It might be possible to do all of this using some fancy JavaScript coding, but you (or someone that owes you a favour) would need decent coding skills to pull it off.
I think it would be great to log an enhancement request with Adobe for a couple of Advanced Actions to be added for this need. Perhaps we could call them Go Back History -1 and Go Forward History +1. These would just reference an internal array somewhere in the bowels of Cp where the History is kept. Then all authors would need to do is choose this as a button action or an action in a conditional advanced action of some kind.

How do I pause a download without a pause button?

I am downloading Adobe CS6 using Akamai NetSession Downloader but no pause button shows as illustrated in the Akamai Download Manager FAQ. How can I pause the download without a pause button? If I turn off my computer will the download fail?
Thanks! Sandra
Aaaah, Still no button but, while slowly moving the cursor around the area again, the hand lit up this time. And, though nothing showed where the cursor was, when I clicked, the download paused. And when I clicked again (over nothing) it started again. Whew!
