Linking KN9 files together using hyperlinks, fades to black

When linking KN9 files together using hyperlinks, I press play the document being linked to fades in, then out to a black screen and after a couple of seconds returns to the files open files on my desktop.
I've checked all the setting and it even does it on 2 empty pages I tested with no transitions or document settings.
If I open both document before pressing play it's OK but because I have several large files being linked together I dont want to have to open all the files before presenting to clients etc.
Thanks!

The History
I reported the hyperlinking problem over a year ago when I updated Keynote from version 5.0.5 to version 5.1. According to the Apple tech that I wroked with at that time the Apple engineers had reproduced the issue and had put it on the fix list (Case 235638615). I then worked with Apple in December 2011 to test a version that supposedly fixed the problem, but did not, so Apple sent me a data logging monitor program which I ran and sent back. The Apple tech asked me to be patient as it might take awhile for the Apple engineers to fix the issue. When version 5.2 came out I reran my testing suite of presentations and found that the hyperlinking issue had still not been fixed. I have tried to contact Apple about my case since July 26th - my emails to the Apple tech with whom I worked back in December bounce back as undeliverable and he does not answer his phone (I have left messages with no replies) plus when I try to use Apple support to follow up on the case, all I get is a message to contact my Apple tech (Doh!). If Apple techs or Apple engineers watch the forums I hope they look into unresolved Case 235638615.
The Workaround
Hyperlinking worked fine with 5.0.5 - the .key files would load and display and did not have to be preloaded prior to runing the linked presentations. Version 5.1 through the current version 5.2 require all of the linked presentations to be preloaded prior to running them. Prior to the current version of Lion, I was able to manually run version 5.0.5 to successfully run my system of 32 presentations. The only downsides were that I could not use any transitions or animations introduced with version 5.1 and I had to force quit Keynote 5.0.5. However, when I tried that solution this month, it would not work. So I created an Automator app to load the appropriate subset of presentations for each day of the five day class and used version 5.2. Everything went okay with preloaded presentations.
I love using Keynote and do not want to go back to PowerPoint, so I hope Apple fixes this issue. I think we have been more than patient with the Apple engineers.

  • Why can't I use the fade to black and white option in iMovie '11?

    I have a project that uses a few photos with one minute duration timers I want to slowly fade from color to black and white but the fade to options are all greyed out... Am I over looking something or doing something wrong?

    Exiled Angel wrote:
    ....it's the color in the pictures I want to gradually reduce the saturation on until they are black and white before the transitions start, not fade in or out to a black or white screen like you are suggesting.
    Sorry, but I wasn't suggesting that you use Fade to Black or Fade to White, just explaining what they do, given that you used the term "fade" in your first post. I assumed you may have been using the Fade to Black transition (which won't achieve what you want).
    I suggested that you use Cross Dissolve, but I need to explain further how to achieve the effect you are looking for. First, you need to place a copy of the photo directly after the original. Make sure Ken Burns is turned off - use Fit. Now double-click on the copy to bring up the Clip Inspector. Click on Effects and select Black & White, then click Done. Drag a Cross Dissolve transition between the 2 clips (photos) and adjust the duration to your liking in the Inspector. Now you will see the effect your are looking for.
    The key is to have an exact copy of the photo following the original, then change the copy to Black and White (or Sepia or any other effect), then insert the Cross Dissolve (or Cross Blur etc.) transition.
    Hope that''s what you are looking for!

  • File Open using Hyperlink

    Hello Experts,
    I am a new user to BEA Weblogic App server and need help from your side.
    I have developed a web application in which i have given a hyperlink of a file inside a jsp
    <p>Expiry Report</p>
    but when i am clicking on the above hyperlink instead of opening the file with option ( open, save etc), its opening the file in same browser.
    That was not the case when i was using any other application server like JBOSS and Tomcat.
    So for opening a file thru hyperlink do we have to do any configuration in weblogic.

    Sounds like a mime type issue.
    Have you set the mime types appropriately by extension in web.xml?
    This page shows an example that has Excel in it:

  • Is it possible to string multiple sound files together using code?

    Say I recorded and imported sound files of my voice saying "Two",  "Four", "Equals", and "Plus"
    Would it be possible to have Flash on click string together those sound files like a string so that the user would hear:
    "Two...Plus...Two...Equals...Four."

    yes, the sound class and its related classes have all the methods and events you need for that.  you would, for example, use the sound class and the soundchannel's soundComplete event to string sounds together starting one after a previous finished.

  • How to link two .java files together?

    hello everybody,
    is it possible to link two or more .java files together? I mean is if I have 3 .java files. (a.java, b.java, c.java) then I have 3 .class files too. How do I use the method in other .java files. For example :
    public a extends Applet {
    // call b.class
    b();
    public b extends Applet implements ActionListener {
    void title1() {
    How to call the b.class? How to call the title1() method?
    Is it related to JAR or package??
    Thanks for helping me. v(^_^)v

    O.K, you do not link ".java" files together.
    You compile them into class files and they can create new instances of each other and and access their variables and work together.
    I recommend "Sam's Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days".
    It will start you out with the basics.

  • Need to link 2 files, one with a numeric firld and on with an alpha numeric

    I need to link 2 files in my report by employee number. In the employee file it is an 8 character Numeric field like 1505087. In the GL File, it is an 8 character field like '01505087' I have done a TONUMBER on the employee number.  Where do I link these files? I have done it in my data selection, but it now takes hours to run the report. The report does work. Any suggestions for linking the files together?
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Hi Rick,
    Linking numeric and non numeric fields at report level takes long time because for each detail it has to process i.e convert your non numeric field to numeric and then link.
    To avoice this, try to use Add command for your non numerica table and convert the field to numeric in free hand SQL itself.
    Eg: Select fields..convert(non numeric to numeric) from table   // my convert syntex is not correct becasue i don't know what database you are using
    Now you get both tables with numeric fields and you can link both.  It will not take much time to retive records.
    Thanks,

  • Send Link to File on OS X Server v10.6

    This question has already been posted here: Link: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10740362]
    But it's closed, I can't reply so I'm re-posting it.
    +Quote: Is there a way to send a link to a file that is on the server (Snow Leopard Server) ala the MobileMe functionality?+
    Yes, it is possible for 10.5 clients to link directy to a file on our 10.6 Servers AFP sharepoints. A link could be inserted in and email with this format: afp://server.myserver.net/Sharepointname/Topfolder/Subfolder/file.txt
    One of our users just upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 yesterday and asked me: Where did that feature go? Is it not possoble anymore?
    It is possible to link to a folder. But not to a file: afp://server.myserver.net/Sharepointname/Topfolder/Subfolder/
    It doesn't matter whether the user is logged in or not (when you link to a folder). If the users is not logged in, they will be prompted to login after clicking on the link. After login they will be redirected to the right folder.
    *My question is:*
    Is it possible to get that feature back for 10.6 clients?

    Links to files should use the file:// protocol
    But, to be honest, I'm having a really bad time getting this to work effectively.
    Everything's fine in a browser. Try typing "file://path-to-file/filename.ext" and it should open the file up for you. NB three slashes are sometimes required - two for the protocol and one more to denote the root of the filesystem. I've even seen five slashes used.
    But I have yet to find a way of sending a link in a mail message that will open the file. The nearest I have got, using file://.... is a link that you have to right-click on to select "Open Link" which then opens Finder in the correct folder, and highlights the file. But it doesn't open it directly.
    This should be so easy - I can't believe how much time I've wasted trying to get such a simple operation to work.

  • Problems with fade to black transition and photoalbum themed titles

    I keep having trouble with the titles in the photo album theme. When I use a fade to black transition and then try to use one of the top 4 titles available under the photos theme it seem like I have to move the title part of the way into the new clip or the fade to black transition just does not happen. It looks OK but the title come up after the new clip has been playing for several seconds and doesn't look as smooth. Any ideas?

    One option is to create a "freeze frame" on the first frame of the new clip. Add your Photo Album title to the beginning of the new clip. Insert a fade to black transition between the preceding clip and the freeze frame. You may need to fiddle with the duration of both the freeze frame and the transition in order to get the timing right. Now, as the fade to black finishes you will see a short still segment just prior to the title commencing, as if the freeze frame is coming to life, so to speak. It looks quite effective, depending of course on the video content.
    To add a freeze frame, right-click (or Control-click) on the appropriate frame, then select "Add Freeze Frame" from the pop-up menu. It's easier if you first move the thumbnail slider (lower right corner of the Projects window) to the half second mark, giving you a close-up view of your clips.

  • Easy way to "fade to black" ?

    What is the easy or best way to fade out at the end of a clip/scene? Doesn't seem to be that option in the edit drop down list.

    Use the Fade Through Black Transition in the Transitions pane.
    Put it between two clips to Fade through black. Put it at the beginning or end of your movie to fade in or fade out.

  • Slow fade to black

    Hi. I am trying to create a very slow fade to black. Regardless of the amount of time I select for the fade, it just doesn't seem to work. Never had this problem with previous versions of iMovie.  If anyone can help me out, I would be very grateful!
    Nick

    To do this, I would use the Fade Throought Black transition.
    The way transitions work, they can be no longer than half the length of the shortest clip to either side. (In your case, there would be only the one clip to the side, since the transition is at the end. So let's say your clip is 4 seconds long. You can make the transition up to 2 seconds long.
    If you need a longer transition than you have footage for, I would suggest creating a freeze frame at the end of the last clip. Set the freeze frame to be however long you need it to be so you can apply a transition to half its length.

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?

  • Use HyperLink(mailto:...) to open a file?

    A question was posted previously about linking to an image file. The HYPERLINK function allows this if the image is on a web server and can be accessed via http:// but you can't use HYPERLINK to access a local file on your computer (or at least I can't seem to). The HYPERLINK function will also take a mailto: command and will open up your mail client with the address, subject, and message of your desire. I was wondering if it could also use the "attachment=..." part of the mailto command to attach a file to the email. Thus you could bring up a local image in your email client. I failed at getting it to work but I may have been formatting the command wrong. Anyone have experience with the proper formatting or anyone know if this is not a supported functionality?

    As System Events returns an URL when we ask it for a file's properties, I tried to use this URL with no results but the files where on a single machine.
    Maybe it behaves differently on a network.
    To get the URL I uses this script:
    set thefile to "Western 4:photos ???:PA030012.JPG"
    tell application "System Events" to get URL of disk item thefile
    the result is something like:
    "file://localhost/Volumes/Western%204/photos%20%3F%3F%3F/PA030012.JPG"
    %20 is the description of the space character
    %3F is the description of the question mark character

    Hi Ramanjulu,
    Did this happen to all users?
    Did the "Read Only/Edit" dialog pop up when you click the .xlsm Name link from SharePoint 2010?
    Could you see the yellow message bar with "Edit Workbook" button when you open the .xlsm file in your Excel Application?
    You can check if the following kb article could solve yellow message bar missing problem, set "Browser File Handling" as Permissive for your web application, or update the registry for client Office application.
    Also check if the add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is enabled in your IE 32-bit browser.

  • Using .pdf file as a hyperlink in AIR help

    Hello all,
                 I am trying to a use a .pdf file as a hyperlink for some topic in AIR help file. When I try to look at my reference(hyperlink), I get a blank screen as a response. I have attached a screenshot as an example. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Aditya.

    There are some things that only work in an installed AIR help rather than preview, not sure what you are looking at here.
    I am not at all clear on how you are trying to use a PDF as a link. Do you mean you have the PDF accessed from the help and the PDF has a link? Please explain.
