Is it possible to just add a caption to a picture?

I am trying to just add a simple caption to a couple pictures I have such as at the top of the image JPG or RAW in a large font centered up nicely. I just cant seem to figure out how to do this at all!? Must be missing something here. I just got into this MBP a little while ago and its a bit different than the windows software I am used to, but I am liking it so far. Now if I can only get through this I will be all set! Do I need different software?
Thanks in advance

I have an iPod classic (160MB) and sync mostly audio books. The difficulty is that the audio books are taking up large amounts of disc space on my computer. Is it possible to just add new ones to the iPod and keep the deleted ones on the iPod?

The audio books I purchase are from Audible - I listen largely because my eyesight is going and I've been an avid reader. I'd like to keep the books on the iPod and not the computer to save space on the computer. Is this even possible?

Yes, though not advisable for content that you may not be able to redownload on demand. I'm not sure what Audible's policy, but with iTunes there is only one download.
You can either place the device in manually managed mode, in which case content you delete from the library won't be automatically removed from the device, or delete the files from Windows Explorer while keeping the entries for the same in the iTunes library. With the second approach iTunes will warn that it cannot find the files to sync (you can disable the warning) but it won't remove them, and you retain the advantage of being able to automatically sync other content.

Is it possible to add a caption on each photo of my album ? Thank u

Hello,
Is it possible to add a caption on each photo of my album Iphoto ? Thank you for your help.

By album do you mean a book? If you mean a book then the answer is only if you use the one theme that provides a text box for each photo, Folio, which only has a 2 photos per page layout.
If you want to add text directly on the photo you would need to use a 3rd party image editor or a watermark application.
Some Image Editors that support layers:
Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
For watermarking apps go to MacUpdate.com and search for "watermark" to get a list of possible candidates.

Add Closed Captions to Button Audio?

Can you add closed captions to the audio file that's linked to a button? This is different than adding closed captions to the slide's audio file. I have a single slide with 7 "Next" buttons. Each next button includes a short audio file. I'd like to add closed captions to each of these audio files. But I can't seem to find a way to do it. I think the short answer to this question is "nope." But I wanted to check here first before I started re-doing the layout to break the slide into 7 separate slides. . . Thanks!

Hi there
Indeed the short answer is no. However, if you are using Captivate 4, nothing says you can't be creative! Why not have some standard Text Captions that are hidden until you click the Button? Then they could serve as the "Closed Captioning" for the Button audio? As each button is clicked, it hides the other button's "Closed Captions" and presents its own "Closed Caption".
Just musing out loud... Rick

Add Closed Captions to Podcast

How can I add closed captions to a video podcast? Is there an rss tag you use? How do you do it?

I've now had time to do a bit more research. The page I linked to is out of date. The built in help for iTunes 12 says
'iTunes can play captioned and subtitled movies. You can purchase or rent movies that include closed captions from the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store also offers many captioned podcasts on iTunes U'
and
Use subtitles and alternative audio tracks
Some videos feature subtitles, closed captioning, and alternative audio tracks (for example, tracks in other languages).
To change audio and subtitle settings while a movie is playing, do either of the following:
Choose Controls > Audio & Subtitles > [option].
Move the pointer over the movie until the controls appear, click the Subtitles button , and choose an option.
So this applies to iTunes U podcasts: I don't know whether it could also apply to ordinary podcasts. Possibly so, but you would have to add the subtitles to the video file itself and I can't advise on how to do that.

Captivate 5 freezing issue when trying to add closed captions to video

Hi There --
I'm trying to add closed captions to a video (.f4v) I inserted as "Slide Video" on a slide in an Adobe Captivate 5 presentation. I click on the video to select it, go to the properties panel, select "edit video timing" and then click on the closed captions panel to try and add captions and then Captivate completely freezes and locks up so not only can I not add captions to the video, but I have to use Windows task manager to shut it down.
I've seen this process demonstrated in a Lynda.com tutorial, and the instructor didn't seem to have this issue with Captivate 5.
Any thoughts? Have other users found a work around at all? I mean, I know I could strip the audio from the video, and then attach it to the slide and do closed captions that way, but it would be way easier (and make a lot more sense) to add it directly to the video, especially since that's what you are supposed to be able to do.
I'm using Captivate 5 on Windows 7. I also have Captivate 5 on a personal Macintosh and haven't tried yet to see if the issue occurs on that platform as well. Has anyone else run into this issue? Sorry for the length -- this is my first forum posting, so I'm trying to provide as much info as possible.

Hi Dan,
Welcome to Adobe Captivate Forums.
You can try to add the closed captions to Video after deleting the preferences.
Follow these steps to delete the preferences
1. Close Captivate if its launched already
2. Navigate to C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Local\Adobe
3. Locate a folder named "Captivate 5"
4. Delete the folder
5. Now Launch Captivate and try your workflow
Let us know if this solved the issue .

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

Why is it, if i have one video clip in the timeline, i can't just add a transition at the end of that solo clip to fade to black!?! please help!

hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!

Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper. Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline. And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor. Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right). Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top. Drag it left for however much fade you wish. (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio. Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

In Yosemite Mail, there is an issue where the signatures no longer toggle as in the past. If you change the existing signature, it just adds the new one vs replacing it within the body of the message. Thoughts?

Hi howe.sc,
When I checked for how signatures in Yosemite work, I found this.
Mail (Yosemite): Include signatures in messages
Delete a signature from a message: Select the signature, then press the Delete key.
Replace a signature in a message: Delete the existing signature, then add a different signature.
That sounds similar to what you are describing.
Take care,

How to add a caption to photo in shared photo stream?

Hi @all,
I hope I am not right but there is no option of using the description/caption for a photo in my iPhoto library when I share it with other people in a photo stream?
All I found was that you can use the comment field to add a caption-like text to each photo. But when I create a slideshow within iPhoto I then cannot use this comment text as a caption for the slideshow. This is completely useless to me as I would have to copy all my captions from the description field to the comment field to show them in a shared photo stream. Who at Apple came up with that idea? I might be wrong but isn't the caption feature one of the most important features when you share photos with other people? How should a fried know what a shared photo shows if I cannot add a descriptive caption to it?
Cheers,
Martin

Martin,
there is no way to add captions, only the comments box in the Shared Stream.
See this discussion: Re: How do I get photo descriptions to show on photos uploaded to Photo Stream?
The only textual annotation that can be streamed as part of the metadata of the shared photo is the filename (or EXIF tags you added to the file in your camera or with other programs, like the copyright notice). So, to transfer a caption with your streamed photo, replace the filename by a caption. You can do that in iPhoto by exporting your photos using "File > Export" and selecting "Filename > Use Title" in the export panel. This will use your current titles as the filenames. Then reimport the exported photos and share the reimported photos with the changed filenames. You can delete the reimported files from the library after sharing them, but don't delete them from the stream.

How does one add a caption to an image?

New to iphoto. Can't figure out how to add a caption an image. Any help out there?

Sorry I forgot to read your mind before answering - hard to answer questions that are not ask
You can export using the title as the filme or it can be included in the EXIT & IPTC data - check the include title and keywords box
See the user tip on exporting for all export options

I am getting an error when trying to add a caption.

I get the following error when trying to add a caption to a photo.   "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media."    I am running Windows 7 Pro.   The files are located on my c:.   The drive has 274 GB Free so space isn't an issue.   I have tried deleting a file and readding it to the same catalog and still the same problem.   I have copied the file to the desktop and cataloged it from there and the error went away.
If i check on the folder attibutes it is set to read-only but the desktop folder is as well.   If i try to remove the read only it only resets itelf to read only again.   Once i get the error another file shows up with the image name plus -edTM P-1 and it has the caption on it.

I was able to get it to work. The root folder which held the pictures had a lock on it through windows 7.   Even though the drive was shared, I still had to go into the folder properties and share it with everyone.   Once i got the lock off and rebooted I was able to add captions again.

How do you add a caption to a photo? I can get it at the top of page but can't get it on the photo.

How do add a caption to a a photo? I can get it at the top of screen but can't get it onto photo?

You'll need an app for that. Search the App Store for captioning photos.

If I purchase lightroom but want to install on both a pc and a mac is that possible from just a download version rather than ordering a disc?

If I purchase lightroom but want to install on both a pc and a mac is that possible from just a download version rather than ordering a disc?

Yes, a single serial number can be used to install on two computers and one can be a PC and one a Mac. The download will be a different installer for each platform but the serial number should activate both.
