How to avoid slide rebuild when switching back to Keynote?

We're doing a presentation in which we occasionally Cmd-Tab switch from Keynote to Safari to demonstrate the features of a Web application. Many of our slides use the nice Keynote builds.
When switching back to Keynote, though, the slide being displayed rebuilds instead of simply appearing as it was when switched away. So if we show a slide that fades in three bullet points over 10 seconds, switch to Safari to show the feature we talked about, and then switch back to go on to the next slide, we have to wait for the entire 10-second build again.
We've tried using Spaces instead of Cmd-Tab to switch to Safari, but Keynote seems to grab on to all of the hotkeys. Ctrl-Option-Arrows and Ctrl-Option-Numbers during Keynote playback don't switch spaces, but change slides instead.
One clunky solution we're considering is adding a static (non-built) copy of each slide where we switch to the demo -- that is, we present over the build, then proceed to the copy before switching away. This might work, but if questions come up and we need to switch to Safari during any other slide with a build, we're still coming back to a repeated build.
Is there an option we've missed that prevents re-building the slide when Keynote "gets focus" again?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!

I don't think you can go back to the end of a slide with builds - after the builds have finished. So your "clunky" solution, = some kind of similar workaround, may be your only option. I've just worked out another one which might work visually for you, but also "clunky".
The idea is to always go from your slide, wherever you happen to be in your presentation, first to a static slide which looks like a Safari window (made from a screen shot), and from there to real Safari. You can do this easily by adding a hyperlink on all your slides to that one (if you want it on all your slides, put it on the master). When you're done with real Safari you'll come back to the same faux-Safari slide. That's the easy part.
Now, you want to get back to the right place in your presentation. This is more complicated, depending on how many slides you have in all, or at least, slides from which you may want to go demonstrate Safari again. Put hyperlinks on your faux-Safari slide, each one leading to the slide you want to continue from, or even a link to each and every one of your slides. Obviously, this might be unworkable with a huge presentation, but, with a little graphic fiddling, and some presentation practice, it might work.

  • How to avoid the dialogue when converting from context menu

    This is a follow-up to http://forums.adobe.com/message/2016146#443364 which was locked due to a bug.
    i would like to know how i can avoid the 'save as' dialogue when using the context menu to convert a word file to pdf using windows XP/acrobat 8/word 2007.
    so far, it always prompts me for the filename, which is annoying as it does not allow me to batch-convert several files and let the thing run its course.
    the solution provided by Steve in the other thread does not work - even if the plugin from word does not propt for a filename, it still does when triggered from explorer/context menu.
    so back to square one: how to avoid that dialogue when not opening word at all?
    cheers, thanks for any help. michael

    For a permanent change, START>PRINTERS>right click on Adobe PDF printer and select properties>General>Printing Preferences>Adobe PDF Settings. Under the settings tab, uncheck the box related to asking for a name. Pretty sure that is the location, but it may vary with version.

  • Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

    should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

    It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
    So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display.  Similarly, your voicemails would arrive.

  • How to avoid launching Labview when invoking VI by Teststand

    Hi, friends.
    I'm a learner of teststand. I wrote some VIs by Labview. Now I want to invoke them in teststand environment. But when I run the sequence. Labview will be automatically launched. How to avoid launching Labview when I run the sequence?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm not sure that I follow what you are saying..  But it sounds like when the VI is called, the LabVIEW development software is started and you want to avoid that.
    If you create an executable or dll and call that from within TestStand, it should not call the development environment.  You would need to have the LabVIEW run-time engine installed on the target PC. 
    It has been many years since I've used TestStand with LV, so my memory may not be accurate.  I think the above had worked for me.  However, it seems that I recall something about having the LV code in debug mode causing it to open the development environment.... but it's a distant memory.    You're not using breakpoints where the LV VI is being called, are you?

  • Massive delay when switching back to table

    Hello,
    I have a couple of tabs on my shell, the first and main one containing 2 tables, and the tabs have various elements etc on them. In the last 2 weeks when I switch back to my main tab that has the 2 tables on it there is a massive delay around 8 seconds!
    This was never there before, if I have my model empty then the delay is only 1 second, but there is no delay when switching between the other tabs, only when switching back to the one with the tables.
    I recreated a static table that was similar, with hardcoded data, even with the 2 tables on that example there was an 800ms, which was noticeable and again no delay on the other tabs when switching.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Donnchadh.

    Hi,
    So I have traced it down to my dropdown box, when my dropdown box list is bound to a node in my model with 650 items it takes about 6.5 seconds, but if it is bound to a node with only 15-20 items then switching back to the table only takes around 1 second.
    What is going on here? Is it re-rendering the page?
    *update
    So added this piece of code to the table
    oTable.addDelegate({ onAfterRendering : $.proxy(function(){
            console.log('table rendered');
          }, oTable)});
    It is infact rendering the page  twice when switching back to the tab, this happens with the shell and I also tested it with only using a tabstrip and same amount of delay.
    Why is this happening? Anyone had a similar issue?

  • How to avoid clear record when tab pages changes

    Hi All
    I am using oracle forms 10g and db 10g.

    When i enter a data in page 1 ie Expense and move to next page page2 "AMOUNT_DETAILS", and enters data in page3 "SUPPLIER" and when i come back to page1 "EXPENSE" and also Page2 "AMOUNT" the data get cleared in Tab pages. There is no data again i need to enter the data manually.
    Can any one suggest me how to avoid this clear data.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks once again for your quick response.

  • How to stop video/animation when the back/continue button is pressed

    hi! we are currently playing some of our videos via SWF. the swfs are placed on the slides and automatically play. Next and back buttons were added for navigation. One thing though is that when the next and back buttons are pressed to go to the next slide(even when the video in the swf is not yet finished) the swf still plays in the background. how do you set the triggers for this? thanks!
    by the way, we used flvplayback component in flash as3. so flash publishes both the flvplayback skin swf and the main swf of the FLA file. Then on Captivate's side, after zipping, we included the swf files there

    Yup, in the swf animation I placed some lines of code to make the slide pause but in my case since I'm playing a video on my swf pausing the slide doesn't pause the video.
    myRoot = MovieClip(root);
    mainmov = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
    mainmov.rdcmndPause = 1;
    The code above will pause the slide. You can try if it works for you.

  • In iOS 7, apps refresh themselves when switching back to them

    I often work with one app and switch to another app, then return to the original.  After upgrading to iOS 7, it seems that apps (or web pages in Safari) now sometimes refresh or reload themselves when I switch back to them rather than simply presenting me with what I had before.  It's not a behavior I like. For instance, say I'm looking at a photo in my photo app Photo Manager Pro.  I switch to another app, then when I come back, Photo Manager Pro seems to reload itself and starts all over at its splash screen, so it takes extra tapping to get back to the picture I was looking at.  And Safari sometimes refreshes web pages when you return to Safari from another app. 
    It seems to happen sometimes but not others, and I can't figture out the pattern. 
    I don't think this has to do with the "Background App Refresh" feature as none of these auto-refreshing apps are in the apps list under Settings -> General --> Background App Refresh.
    Any help in figuring out what's going on?

    This is a problem many and probably all are having with iOS7 "Multitasking."
    Here is probably the largest and most helpful thread about it, but it doesn't fix anything: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24582055#24582055

  • How to avoid shared locks when validating foreign keys?

    I have a table with a FK and I want to update a row in that table without being blocked by another transaction which is updating the parent row at the same time. Here is an example:
    CREATE TABLE dbo.ParentTable
    PARENT_ID int NOT NULL,
    VALUE varchar(128) NULL,
    CONSTRAINT PK_ParentTable PRIMARY KEY (PARENT_ID)
    GO
    CREATE TABLE dbo.ChildTable
    CHILD_ID int NOT NULL,
    PARENT_ID INT NULL,
    VALUE varchar(128) NULL,
    CONSTRAINT PK_ChildTable PRIMARY KEY (CHILD_ID),
    CONSTRAINT FK_ChildTable__ParentTable FOREIGN KEY (PARENT_ID)
    REFERENCES dbo.ParentTable (PARENT_ID)
    GO
    INSERT INTO ParentTable(PARENT_ID, VALUE)
    VALUES (1, 'Some value');
    INSERT INTO ChildTable(CHILD_ID, PARENT_ID, VALUE)
    VALUES (1, 1, 'Some value');
    GO
    Now I have 2 transactions running at the same time:
    The first transaction:
    SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED;BEGIN TRAN
    UPDATE ParentTable
    SET VALUE = 'Test'
    WHERE PARENT_ID = 1;
    The second transaction:
    SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED;BEGIN TRAN
    UPDATE ChildTable
    SET VALUE = 'Test',
    PARENT_ID = 1
    WHERE CHILD_ID = 1;
    If 'UPDATE ParentTable' statement runs a bit earlier, then 'UPDATE ChildTable' statement is blocked untill the first transaction is committed or rollbacked. It happens because SQL Server acquires shared locks when validating foreign keys, even
    if the transaction is using read uncommitted, read committed snapshot (read committed using row versioning) or snapshot isolation level. I cannot see why change in the ParentTable.VALUE should prevent me from updating ChildTable. Please note that ParentTable.PARENT_ID
    is not changed by the first transaction, which means that from FK's point of view whatevere is set to the ParentTable.VALUE is never a problem for referential integrity. So, such blocking behavior seems to me not logical. Furthermore, it contradicts to the
    MSDN:
    Transactions running at the READ UNCOMMITTED level do not issue shared locks to prevent other transactions from modifying data read by the current transaction. READ UNCOMMITTED transactions are also not blocked by exclusive locks that would prevent the
    current transaction from reading rows that have been modified but not committed by other transactions. 
    Does anybody know how to workaround the issue? In other words, are there any tricks to avoid shared locks when validating foreign keys? (Disabling FK is not an option.) Thank you.
    Alexey

    If you change the primary key of the parent table to be nonclustered, there is no blocking.
    Indeed, when I update ParentTable.VALUE, then:
    in case of PK_ParentTable is clustered, a particular row in the clustered index is locked (request_mode:X, resource_type: KEY)
    in case of PK_ParentTable is non-clustered, a particular physical row in the heap is locked (request_mode:X, resource_type: RID).
    and when I update ChildTable.PARENT_ID, then:
    in case of PK_ParentTable is clustered, this index is used to verify referential integrity:
    in case of PK_ParentTable is non-clustered, again this index is used to verify referential integrity, but this time it is not locked:
    It is important to note that in both cases SQL Server acquires shared locks when validating foreign keys. The principal difference is that in case of clustered PK_ParentTable the request is blocked, while for non-clustered index it is granted.
    Thank you, Erland for the idea and explanations.
    The only thing that upsets me is that this solution cannot be applied, because I don't want to convert PK_ParentTable from clustered to non-clustered just to avoid blocking issues. It is a pity that SQL Server is not smart enough to realize that:
    ParentTable.PARENT_ID is not changed and, as a result, should not be locked
    ChildTable.PARENT_ID is not actually changed either (old value in my example is 1 and the new value is also 1) and, as a result, there is no need at all for validating the foreign key.
    In fact, the problem I described is just a tip of the iceberg. The real challenge is that I have deadlocks because of the FK validation. In reality, the first transaction has an additional statement which updates ChildTable:
    SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED;
    BEGIN TRAN
    UPDATE ParentTable
    SET VALUE = 'Test'
    WHERE PARENT_ID = 1;
    UPDATE ChildTable
    SET VALUE = 'Test'
    WHERE PARENT_ID = 1;
    The result is famous message:
    Msg 1205, Level 13, State 51, Line xx
    Transaction (Process ID xx) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
    I know that if I change the order of the two statements, it will solve the deadlock issue. But let's imagine I cannot do it. What are the other options?

  • How to avoid water damage when installing invisible shield

    Just wondering what you have to do to avoid water damage when installing Zagg invisible shield? What precautions should I take so that I do not damage the iPhone when installing Zagg Invisible shield?
    Thanks and I look forward to your replies.
    ...B

    Hi BGmail,
    I would stay away from invisible shield by zagg or similar products. I tried it, waste of £15, could have got myself a dock stand for my phone for that ****!! The problem with IS(invisible shield) is that the screen protector has a rubber feel which makes it annoying when swiping your finger on it + it's not scratch proof at all!! Mine scratched 2 days after the installation so badly that I had to remove it. The back it's hard to apply, does not cover everything you'd like to, also a dust trap that could get between tha film and the phone causing it to scratch, some people reporting the film going yellow after a while(on white iPhones).
    What I think of IS: A poor american product heavily/aggressive advertised!! Mine is off, using a hard clear plastic shell and a good screen protector, might look bulky but it's safe, only using the shell while at work, the iPhone is pretty tough, don't forget.
    Your choice... Good luck !!
