Keynote and sound files

I was preparing a lecture where I wanted to use sound files that would run over several slides. It appears that this is not possible. It is either one sound file per slide or one sound file for the whole show. Perhaps I'm wrong, but this is a big disappoinment given that the latest versions of Powerpopint do have this feature!
I am using Keynote 4.0

There are numerous threads discussing this problem within this forum. There are only two "workarounds" that enable you to run an audio track over multiple slides:
1) Create individual "sub-presentations" for each group of slides you want to use with a single audio Soundtrack and then link them together via Hyperlinks. CAVEAT: If you play KN presentations via Hyperlinks, you lose any Synchronization you may have created when you Recorded the Soundtrack. All Builds and/or Transitions will have to be triggered via a Click or Automatically for each slide as the presentation is playing.
2) Use Builds to change your graphics, rather than create new slides. If you keep everything within one slide, you then can assign an audio track for the slide that will play through all of the graphics.

I lost my keynote and pages file

How do I restore keynote and pages file that seem to have vanished in icloud?

Thanks Carolyn. But i still cant retrieve the files. They have vanished. This is an embarassement to apple and its systems and an inconvenience to people like me who have lost the file. This is the only time i lost my file when i didnt think twice and just allowed the Keynote and pages files created to be stored on icloud. It was there for a few weeks and then suddenly i realised i coldnt find it anymore.
Thanks so much for your help and feedback.
Cheers

I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers and keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where?

I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers, keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where? Any help is greatly appreciated.

that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

Keynote and Pages files on Ipad

My Videos app is crashing after renting a video on iTunes - so I want to restore settings. Will I lose Keynote and Pages (and Goodreader, etc.) files when this happens - or will I get them back when I sync?

Not if you restore from a backup you've made on iTunes. All the settings, etc. will be the same. Of course, there may be corrupted files in the backup that are causing your crash. Give it a try and see what happens.

Saving Pages, Keynote and Numbers files so they're compatible to open on PC

How do I save files from pages, keynote and numbers so I can open them on a PC?

I would have to think that most PC's are running Office, so that would be a safe bet.
If you really want anyone to be able to open and read, PlainText or pdf would be even better. PDF for reading and plaintext if you want them to be able to edit.

Acrobat 8 Pro - How do I flip pages and sound files?

I have made a PDF from a PowerPoint file and as expected the actions were lost from the PPT.
I would like to make the PDF to start when opened and change to the next page every 10 sec. I have tried Advanced/Doc Processing/Page Transitions - set flip to 10 sec and all pages - but nothing happens after I save and reopen in Reader 9.
I also have 8 WAV files attached via the PPT to PDF action. These show on the various pages as they should but they should start when the page is reached. How do I do this?
I'm proficient with js for HTML but have not tried for Acrobat.
I appreciate any help to make the above happen.
Thanks,
RON C

You will probably want to use Acrobat JavaScript (not the same as 'web' javascript) to coordinate the initiation/termination of the sound clips for each PDF page (slide).
Obtain the requisite documentation from Acrobat section of Adobe's DevNet.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat.html
It may be helpful to review the information related to the rich media annotation in the Acrobat SDK documentation.

Equations for Keynote and Powerpoint Files?

I copied a powerpoint file onto my Ipad2 and used Keynote to open it. Most everything is fine, but Ipad-Keynote won't recognize the equations.
The Keynote on my Macbook pro will recognize them. The equations were made with Microsoft's equation editor.
Is there any way to get Keynote to recognize equations? Alternatively, is there some app for the Ipad that will recognize/show/allow-editing of
equations in powerpoint?

This is fine, but not really the answer. If you look at the MathType web site, you'll find the following in response to queries about Equation Editor on the iPad:
"Is there a version of MathType for Apple Pages on iPad/iPhone?
No. Not yet anyway. Since Apple released Pages for iPad, we have received numerous inquiries regarding creating and editing MathType equations in that environment. Since the iPhone uses the same software as iPad, it is reasonable to expect that Apple will offer a version of Pages that works on it as well someday soon.
Pages for iPad lacks MathType support
As you probably know, Apple added support for MathType to iWork '09 in all three iWork apps, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. This required Apple to do software development in these applications. We made only minor changes to MathType to make this work. Before we can make a version of MathType for Pages, or any other iWork app, Apple must do similar work in Pages for iPad.
Why don't you guys work this out with Apple?
We would love to. However, it is not just a matter of us picking up the phone and calling Tim Cook, or anyone else in Apple management for that matter. Big companies like Apple get inundated daily with requests from smaller companies to make things work in their favor. Like all smart companies, Apple does not set its market direction by listening to other companies but by listening to its customers.
So what can I do?
The best thing you can do to get MathType support added to Pages for iPad/iPhone is to tell Apple that it is important to you. Apple has a Pages for iPad Comment Form that is perfect for giving them feedback. Encourage your friends and associates to also let them know that you would like MathType support in Pages for iPad. If you work at a university or other educational institution, or company with lots of iPads, you may have other avenues open to give Apple feedback. Companies love feedback from their customers. We do and we are pretty sure Apple does also."
So it is really a two-way street, and I am sure that a small company like Design Science would LOVE to be able to have their product as an iPad app, or even as transferable from a MacBook. However, it seems that for them to ready MathType for the iPad, it needs a little effort from Apple, which has not, so far, been forthcoming. Again, it comes down to the question of why has Apple turned its back on the tablet concept, when they had it first, and as a company trying so hard to dominate the education market? It makes no sense, unless they really just don't care about it, and would rather sell iPhones and iPads for folk to play Angry Birds on.
And telling me I have to use PowerPoint is not the solution - PowerPoint is clunky and ugly, compared to Keynote on the MacBook, and there's no reason to drive a Yugo when a Jaguar is sitting in the garage, waiting for a fourth wheel.
I really would like to now what apps can sit on an iPad and allow me to handwrite on top of a Keynote presentation, and include complex equations without inordinate additional effort. None of the MacBook solutions is satisfactory, especially when I a) have video content, and b) am trying to record the lecture to a Podcast at the same time, and I don't see that possibility on the iPad yet. Technology is supposed to make preparing and delivering material to students easier and more efficient - the reality is that, with thestill crude tools currently available, doing so can become an infinite sink for time and resources. It may be true that where there is a will there is a way, but what there is not is an infinite supply of time to make it happen.

Keynote and PPS Files

Can Keynote be configured so that .pps files automatically open as a slide show.
I have set up a family member with an iMac, OS 10.5, and NeoOffice. She receives attachments as .pps files.
Unfortunately, while NeoOffice can play .pps slide shows once opened, it cannot do so automatically.
See http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2893

Kelly,
Yes, the app works normally on its own. I've been using it to open .pps files from email or wherever all the way back to whatever OS was there when I first installed it, probably Tiger, and it worked fine all the way up through 10.5.8 on the old G5 iMac. Now, on the new Intel platform and Snow Leopard, I get these failures.
I don't think it's a problem with the files themselves, and I think this is still supposed to be something that works ... but can't be totally sure of that.
In the meantime, I'm left with opening them on the iPad.

Picture and sound files

I'm also unable to send or receive picture files. I've tried the *228 and removing and inserting battery with no success.
Have full bars and once upon a time had no problem. Does seem to have something to do with coverage as I went from
1X to EV indication when the problem started. Motorola E185 phone. Also when I try to connect to internet it always says it is busy.
Thanks

Droid 2 - Location of Sound and Video Files

Trying to move images, sounds, videos from an old phone(LG Touch) to a new Droid 2. I got all the files off the LG and found the DCIM folder on the Droid after connecting USB cable to computer. Where are video and sound files saved on the Droid? Are those storage locations available via USB connection/windows explorer?

The files are stored in whatever location you choose to put them. Yes they are accessible via the USB cable and windows explorer.

Too many sound files... AS3 no worky

I've created this little program to test with. It works perfectly for 5 or less sound files/for loops. As soon as I do more then that the sounds stop working. Everything else is fine... just no sound. My plan is to have the xml file determin how many movie clips with attached sound files to create. I'm planning on having tons of movie clips and sound files once this is all finished. No luck so far
Is there a limit to how many sound files a swf can reference? Any other ideas why the sounds aren't working for me?
//load xml
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var xmlPath:String = "data.xml";
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
trace("loading xml from: " + xmlPath);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
     trace("xml loading complete");
     xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
     //load objects
     buildScroller();
function buildScroller():void{
     var tl:MovieClip=this;
     for (var i:Number = 0; i < 5; i++){
        //create movie clips
        var container_mc:container = new container();
        addChild(container_mc);
        container_mc.x = 325 * i; // set the number here to the width of the movie clip being repeated
        //sound info
        tl["snd"+i] = new Sound();
        tl["snd"+i].load(new URLRequest(xmlData.sound.loc[i]));
        container_mc.snd = tl["snd"+i];
        container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound, false, 0, true);
        function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void {
            event.currentTarget.snd.play();
here is the xml file that I'm using:
<DATA>
    <object_count>20</object_count>
    <sound>
        <loc>fart.mp3</loc>
        <loc>burp.mp3</loc>
        <loc>creak128.mp3</loc>
        <loc>GateOpen.mp3</loc>
        <loc>bang.mp3</loc>
        <loc>pop.mp3</loc>
        <loc>slap.mp3</loc>
    </sound>
</DATA>

Dmennenoh, pulling the playSound function out of the other functions worked perfectly! I should have known better. Even though everything is working correctly I am now recieving an error stating that "Parameter url must be non-null." I'm certain this has to do with the sound file urls that I am passing from the xml document... but if the sounds are playing the urls must be non-null already.
I tried changing the tl["snd"+i] to container_mc["snd"+i] as you suggested but the sounds would not play at that point. I recieve an error saying: "a term is undefined and has no porperties." Below is how I built it:
function buildScroller():void{
     for (var i:Number = 0; i < 55; i++){
        //create movie clips
        var container_mc:container = new container();
        addChild(container_mc);
        container_mc.x = 325 * i; // set the number here to the width of the movie clip being repeated
        //sound info
        container_mc["snd"+i] = new Sound();
        container_mc["snd"+i].load(new URLRequest(xmlData.sound.loc[i]));
        container_mc.snd = container_mc["snd"+i];
        container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound, false, 0, true);
function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void {
     event.currentTarget.container_mc.play();

Keynote Saves .key files to default open with Powerpoint

I've been finding that whenever I create a new keynote file and save it somewhere, if I double click on the file it will automatically attempt to open it with powerpoint. After powerpoint opens it will obviously say it does not recognize the file. I can correctly open the file with keynote by right-clicking and manually opening with keynote.
If I open 'get info' on the file I will see that it is selected to open with powerpoint. I can open the drop down menu to change the opening option and see that powerpoint is selected but keynote is listed right below with '(default)' beside it. If I select keynote (default) and close the drop down menu it will stay as keynote and the file will correctly open with keynote all subsequent times.
However, if I click the 'change all' button below to set all files of this type to the selected option (keynote - default) then my selection automatically changes back to powerpoint in the drop down menu. It is really weird and confusing.
Any help?

I've posted this many times & others have posted their methods more than once as well.
This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

Import Image & Sound files

How can we acquire Images and Sound files into LabVIEW to work with ?

Have you tried looking in the Graphics & Sound palette? I'd start there.
And if you need something fancier then you'll want to look into the IMAQ functions.

Manually Adding and Deleting Files in iTunes

Hello Folks
Got a few simple questions:
I'd like to manually add sound files to my iTunes Library
(preferences - yes but where exactly)
I'd like to also 'DELETE' some sound files that were stored in the Library
(preferences - yes but where exactly)
And do you guys have any other sound file player that will open tunes and sound files automatically INSTEAD of iTunes?
Perhaps WinnAmp Free Player?
Or is there another one that you recommend?
Thank you
Mike

OK, maybe I am duplicating your problem. When I do a Spotlight search on the song's filename without the extension, I get a list of files. The track I added to iTunes is still in the appropriate folder and it looks like iTunes copied the file I wanted deleted to the trash instead of moving it. Additionally, the first file was named "bell.wav". I copied it to the desktop, changed a tag in the original file, and then imported the copy. iTunes named the copy "bell.wav.wav". I then deleted the song from iTunes, or thought I did, and what showed up in the trash was a file named "Bell.wav.wav.wav". I emptied the trash and "bell.wav.wav.wav" disappeared from the Spotlight list, but "bell.wav.wav" did not.
I repeated the above using an mp3 file and exactly the same things occurred, except that iTunes did not add a new extension to each iteration of the file (they were all called "test.mp3" rather than "test.mp3", "test.mp3.mp3" and "test.mp3.mp3.mp3").
I had never noticed this behavior before and I will look into it some more. I have recently imported some cds to manually put on my iPod, after which I deleted them from iTunes, so I have plenty of deleted file names to look for.
