Manual advance? Not always.

HI,
This is my first attempt using Encore DVD2. I am playing with some of the features and am having a problem with slideshows.
I want to have a biography section on the DVD I am working on. The bios range from 2 to 3 pages each. They are snapshots of a timeline from another program, stored as BMPs and imported to Encore, apparently as PNGs. If I set the manual advance button for the bio it seems to apply the manual function to only the first slide and then after you advance to the second it displays the next slides for only the default 6 seconds and then goes to black. It won't even do the end function of going back to the bio menu. I did find that on some bios, if I click next chapter in the preview it will pop back to the last slide and if you click again, it will, sometimes, go to the menu like it directed too. Oh yeah, if I turn off the general manual advance and apply it slide by slide I get the same result.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I am waiting for the Adobe Classroom in a Book on Encore 2.0 to show up and it might answer some of this, in the meantime I'm hoping someone might have some thoughts on this.

Jeff,
Thanks for answering, sorry I took so long to read your response.
I am not advanced enough yet to do anything esoteric. I'm just proud that I can start the program.
I checked the overide for all the menu buttons and everthing says "Not Set"
In the Slideshow options I have
Unchecked... Fit slideshow to audio duration, Loop audio (I have no audio behind the biographies, Random Pan and zoom.
The checked item is Manual Advance.
I have the slide duration set to 6 seconds (default I think)
There are no transitions selected.
No matter what I did, when I previewed the slide show, only the first slide was manual advance. I tried different slide durations, including 0, just to see what would happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I'm hoping my Classroom in a Book book shows up soon.
Thanks
Dave

I can not export a Keynote 2014 as a manual advance quicktime. What is the best way to playback a Keynote on a PC to look exactly like the keynote that I created?

There's no really good way for it anymore. Sharing via iCloud is likely the best possible option, but I haven't had an opportunity to try that out yet. I'll need to get my hands on a Windows PC to see how an updated Windows browser displays presentations.

Manual advance quicktime export not working

new to keynote, trying to export an interactive high quality quicktime, but manual advance is not working once it exports. I have lots of embedded video files that won't advance once clicked on either. Not sure if they are the problem. Any thoughts on how I can export a quicktime that I can manually click through?? Thanks for any help you can offer.

HA!
That's a great one to play at Parties!!
BTW - that's a great way to do one-offs of sections you want to send out. HOWEVER - a problem there too - if you have a CLIP selected, FCP won't know if you are exporting that cut or the in/out point. Make sure everything is DE-selected. You'll notice a color shift in the timeline indicating the IN/OUT area when you are good to go.
Glad you fixed, now GET BACK TO WORK!

Music pauses on my iPhone 5C when switching between apps or when receiving alerts/notifications sometimes (not always) and I have to manually restart the song. I'm running the latest 7.0.1 software. It's a bit annoying.

Music pauses on my iPhone 5C when switching between apps or when receiving alerts/notifications sometimes (not always) and I have to manually restart the song. I'm running the latest 7.0.1 software. It's a bit annoying.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Why do my calendars not always update 9or update right away?)

I am not sure i am following APPLE's instructions correctly as I don't get consistent results. Can someone help? Thanks.
I have the newest IPOD TOUCH. And some things I have entered on my MACs and even work PCs (me.com calendars eventually showed up on my ipod touch. Vice versa too.) Problem is that this is not consistent. I occasionally find something does not make it, especially from internet (me.com) to the IPOD.
I THINK my IPOD TOUCH settings may be the problem.
They are
PUSH--> ON
FETCH --> MANUAL
I have tried other ways, and the results are always unclear. I thought to save the battery PUSH should be off, or is it only FETCH?
I have wifi on AT HOME. But only to get mail sent to my IPOD. Out on the street and at work there IS no wifi. But anyway, on or off, it seems like I need to have my usb connector plugged in to sync. So I do that too.
SO, Calendar--> PUSH ON OR OFF? FETCH ON OR OFF? WIFI ON OR OFF?
Now Push on, wifi on.
MAC settings too are confusing. There is SYSTEM PREFERENCES and Itunes.
Here they are for my PPC G5 running 10.5.5 and Intel Macbook Pro running 10.4.4)
MOBILE ME (SYSTEM PREFERENCES)
Sync (all items checked except, on the desktop, the mysteriously named "com.panic.transmit.favorites". So that includes calendars. And set for AUTOMATICALLY.
NOTE!!
---> THIS ONE ---WAS-- SET FOR AUTO, BUT JUST NOW I SWITCHED TO MANUAL AND IT DID WORK!!
-> DOES THIS MEAN I FOUND THE SOLUTION? OR A FLUKE???
ADVANCED shows the two machines being synced
ITUNES SETTING
Contacts and Calendars are synced "OVER THE AIR" from Mobile ME. That implies wifi? But regardless, with or without, plugged in or not, I do not always get things synced.
Mail account--only have me.com. before I had the other email I use, but it seemed to create multiple instances of Mobile me on my IPOD and also multiple calendars "On my Ipod" and UNTITLED Account" So now I leave only mobile,me checked. (see below ADVANCED)
Advanced:
REPLACE INFO ON THIS IPOD.... Or, THIS may have been the culprit, so now I leave this off
So, now I am left wondering if any of my settings are less than desired. And is the syncing, when it happens, occurring over wifi or over the USB? So far, the one setting that seems to MAYBE make a difference is in SYSTEM preferences-->changing to SYCH WITH MOBILE ME MANUAL (whereas before it was AUTO).
Thanks

Thank very much for your answer. Let me see if I understand.
I have Mobile Me (this mac account and a set of calendars: home and work)
Fairly similar to my set up.
Ok...I have PUSH ON and FETCH MANUAL. But then in ADVANCED it says MOBILE ME CONTACTS AND CALENDARS --> PUSH. And MAIL also PUSH.
Though I am not sure what this actually means. So far, I seem to get things to happen
Rule 555: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Stuff from Mobile Me comes down automatically. That was supposed to be Push (instant), but Apple had to admit that in reality for now, there is going to be some delay. Even so, if I time it well, mail and calendar changes arrive elsewhere as soon as I make them on the computer or the touch or even the cloud.
Some apps do not support Push, so that Manual (or the times) cover that situation.
automatically IF I have wifi on at home and the calendar app is open. In other words, do PUSH And FETCH settings work if using USB and NO WIFI (on my home computer?)
No. By selecting the Mobile Me method, the USB syncs are closed off.
This works with wifi if you have Mobile Me (but then subscribed calendars do not sync).
Ok.
You mean other things sync but not calendars? I am not sure how I actually subscribe them. I just see the same info now on the web and on my TOUCH.
Your ordinary calendars do, but those you subscribe to (for example I subscribe to a calendar that I found on a website that gives me Formula 1 schedule; and my boss at work gives me a calendar I subscribe to). My basic calendars are fine, but the subscribed calendars do not even appear in Mobile Me or on the touch.
Hm. So far with that specific computer I can ONLY get wifi and not USB. You said I can turn it off??? You mean by turing PUSH to off? So PUSH off, no sync. Push on, sync.
Right. The Sync would be via USB, but that only syncs the touch and the computer, the computer would also sync with the cloud. OK, if you only have one computer, I guess. Syncs from the touch wait until you come home and plug it in.
So turning on MOBILE ME (PUSH???) makes SYNC via USB stop working?
That is right. If you look in the information panel in iTunes when you have the touch connected, that is what is indicated.
Thanks you. As you see, I am still very foggy about this all. It seems like the USB is good for charging and Itunes stuff, but that the calendar only syncs with PUSH on and FETCH set to, so far for me, MANUAL.
You have that about right, Yes.
And yet on some of its pages Apple says you should turn off PUSH and/or FETCH to save battery life.
Right. If you are in a situation where Push is not going to work for a few hours (like on a plane, or in the middle of a desert) it makes no sense to discharge a battery unnecessarily. If you are in and out of Starbucks in the US, or somewhere that has wifi on that you can link to -- and you do update a lot, or read email -- then keep it on.
Glad to have been of help.

IPhoto slideshow manual advance transitions

What I need to obtain is to perform slideshow with manual advance (using arrows, not using time interval), but with other transitions than basic.
I can set the time to the high value, then start the slideshow and advance the photos manually. But the transitions when the time expires is which I chose, but when I use arrows, it is always basic.
Even the freeware win apps allow slideshows with manual advance and more sofisticated transitions, but iPhoto doesn't.
Maybe this is good idea for new feture?
(iPhoto latest for OS Mavericks)

iPhoto is no longer actively developed.

Any way to manually advance photos?

Hi Gang,
I'm a photographer, and I'd like to use Apple TV in the studio so clients can proof their photos. Is there any way to NOT use the slide show, but show photos with the ability to manually advance through?
Thanks!
Rob

Hey Rob,
Actually, the manual doesn't have it right.
You have to start the slideshow, then hit PAUSE: NOW you can use the back << and forward >> arrows buttons on the remote.
I have tried to use the back/forward buttons while the slideshow is running, but they seem to do nothing. You must pause the slideshow first. I usually use 3 or 4 seconds per photo, so maybe that is not enough time for the arrows to act. If I used 10 or 15 seconds, maybe you could interrupt with arrows. Haven't tried it.
Absolutely love having my photos always available on the big screen though!
Enjoy!!
Jim

Trying to use Adobe Encore to create a manual advance keynote BD-ISO

Hi All,
Background:
I'm a media designer that produces corporate media content for a recruiting firm.
Objective:
I'm trying to devise a way for presenters in our sales offices to run standardized group interview and training HD keynote shows without the use of a DVD player or a laptop on their LCD screens.
Laptops= every manager needs an apple computer and keynote software to run the content + its messy to have to manage wired connections to the mounted LCD panels all the time.
DVD Players= any updates that are required to this content from time to time make the idea of re-shipping physical DVD's logistically undesirable.
Proposed Solution:
Perminently integrate a BD-ISO (menu) compatible HD media player into our office setups that will run manual advance Keynote BD-ISO's (created in Encore) where any new updates can just be downloaded from a central server in the form of a Blu-ray master iso image by the end-user, dropped on their USB flash drive, and played through the media player.
Here's the workflow I've come up with (Problem to follow):
1. Design a 1280x720 keynote presentation in Apple iWork's Keynote '09
2. Export a timed (Intervals: 5 sec/between each slide & 2 sec/between each object animation) h.264 | 1280x720 | 29.97 quicktime .mov file
3. Create Blu Ray Encore Project (1280x720, h.264, 29.97)
4. Import .mov file as timeline
5. Insert chapter markers at the beggining of every animation/transition (On diagram below- I'm talking about Ch. 3 & 5)
6. Insert a second chapter marker directly before each of the previous set of chapter markers as close together as encore will allow (On diagram below- I'm talking about Ch. 2 & 4)
7. Set "end action" on each of the second set of chapter points (Ch. 2 & 4 below) to "Link back to here" so that the still image hold that occures after each "keynote animation" (thanks to the 2 sec hold time I set in the Keynote export- see step 2 above) is isolated so the playback loops on that chapter (which is a still frame because of the 2 sec pause between animations as set in keynote export).
Note on this technique: Idea is to set up the timeline and chapter end actions so that the playback loops on a few identical frames that exist between the two "extremely-close-together" chapter points (creating a "pause" effect) until the end user hits "Next Chapter" button on remote to jump to the proceeding chapter that contains the next keynote animation or tranistion.
Diagram:
(timeline-> ...---------------Ch.2<-- -->Ch.3(beggining of animation)-------------------------------------(end of animation)Ch.4<-- -->Ch.5------------------------->)
8. Set "First Play," "Title Button," and "Timeline End Action" to Ch.1 of the timeline (so it starts there when ISO is activated and loops back to there at the end of the presentation).
9. Export as "Blu-ray" Image
10. Load iso file on a USB flash drive, plug it into BD-ISO (menu) supported media player, and run the ISO and Voila!! = HD Keynote presentation running from BD-ISO file on a media player. PERFECT SOLUTION....
PROBLEM:
One of the most marketable (due to affordable price-point) BD-ISO (full menu support) media players is the HDX BD1. When I run the ISO file on this unit, it will play the first chapter, and pause and loop on chapter 2 like it is supposed to, creating the pause effect; But when I select "next chapter" it says "cannot_execute"- and I cannot proceed to the next transition/animation. I've previewed the setup in the encore preview feature and it behave's perfectly.
I'd be quick to say its a hardware issue but I've checked out several YouTube videos with people demoing this exact media player running and navigating feature film BD-ISO's (selecting "next chapter" and all) without any issues at all.
I've mastered something similar to this technique using DVDSP on SD DVD's, because DVDSP allows me to infinitley pause playpack ON each chapter point, not even needing the use of the "loop" feature I've set up in encore; But Adobe Encore doesn't offer a "pause" end action so I've come up with this as the next best thing. Although it doesn't play back properly on a full BD-ISO NAVI supported media player.
QUESTIONS:
1. Based on this setup, is there anything obvious I'm missing in Adobe Encore that would eleviate this playback problem on the media player?
2. Is there another authoring workflow within Encore that would allow me to acheive Keynote motion graphic, manual-advance slideshows?
Thanks for help in advance.

Hi Chad,
The most probable explanation is that Encore is creating incorrect navigation commands. It is well known and documented that Encore Blu-ray navigation works only for the simplest cases.
This should be easy to fix using BluStreak Tracer, Rivergate Software's upcoming post-authoring solution:
http://blustreak.dvdafteredit.com/blustreak-tracer-macintosh
If you will prepare a small test case (1 GB or less) and post it on an FTP server, I will take a look and attempt to update it for you. You can contact me through our web site's contact page.

Larry

Keynote Movie Export with Manual Advance doesn't work posted on MobileMe

Hi,
After exporting a Keynote Presentation to Quicktime with Manual Advance function checked the Manual Advance function is working perfectly.
However, after I post the same Quicktime movie on my Mobile Me gallery (or a webpage via iWeb) the Manual Advance only works on slide 1 taking it to slide 2.
When I click to advance at slide 2 it returns to slide 1 instead of going to slide 3...
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Clayton

This could be the old bug that causes this if the movie wasn't fully loaded. Try waiting till the movie fully loads (if it's not showing a progress bar, just wait a few min as it will probably load fully in that time). Then try it again. In my tests with older versions (haven't tested 09) this was the case...clicking on anything before the movie fully loaded sent you back to slide 1.

Season pass notice does not always download. It does not appear in the purchased items. I am responding to an email stating 'this week's TV show is ready for download'. Any suggestions?

Been having the same problems all week. And am got a generic, not-at-all-helpful response from my initial inquiry with support, then absolutely no response to my follow-up requests. There seem to be a fair number of people posting this problem, so not sure why we're being ignored.
Was able to eventually download the episodes manually via the 'purchased' link, but it's about 10 more steps than normal.
Also noticed that itunes isn't recognizing my purchases at all, not just season passes. If I go to a page of a show where I buy episodes individually, it doesn't show which episodes I have previously bought like it used to.

Auto slide play vs manual advance

I just had a rotten experience. I drove 1 1/2 hours to another city to give a presentation using Keynote slides.
As I was setting up, I noticed that the slides automatically advanced. I had no idea why. I didn't make any settings to do that and didn't want it. I have other presentations that work fine.
Since I am not a Keynote expert, I don't know the myriad commands and menus. I also think Keynote and Pages have the worst UIs of all Apple's products - items are hidden under multiple layers with odd names that you wouldn't recognize.
So, for 20 minutes, I frantically searched through the Keynote menus looking for anything that said Auto advance, timed advance, auto anything - nothing. It ought to be in plain view under the View command, the most logical place.
I looked through the Keynotes Help menu and found absolutely nothing related to auto advancing slides. There was no internet at that location, so I could only use the internal help info.
Finally, in desperation, I exported the talk to PPT and put it on my host's PC, thinking Keynotes had a bug. Well, it behaved exactly the same way.
So, my host sat at the computer manually advancing the slides, and backing them up when they jumped for a hour talk. THANKS APPLE.
When I got home, I spent an hour combing through all the menus trying to find anything about auto advancing the slides.
I knew from looking at the language in the menus in Keynotes and Pages, that Apple's terms wouldn't be ordinary terms used to describe advancing slides.
I finally found it. Buried under the Inspector, the left hand icon Document Inspector, under the heading Document, under the Presentation pull down menu were the terms "Normal" and "Self-Playing". The clue, of course, was Self-Playing. Clicking Normal fixed the problem.
This item was badly named and four levels deep - Inspector/Document Inspector/Presentation/Normal.
Maybe this note will help others find this item is Apple's maze of confusing menus.

command is buried somewhere inside Keynote. I can't remember where.
The name of the command has nothing to do with starting/stoping auto advance.
This is one of the worst UI things from Apple. Reminds me of XP.

Patches and devices not always on the network

Hello, I have a question that for some reason I can't get sorted out in my mind.
How can I use SCCM to effectively patch devices such as laptops that are not always on the network. I am not talking patching through the Internet but I am talking about wanting those devices to patch with all past deployments when they connect to the
network. Specifically how do I configure the software available time, installation deadlines and maintenance windows. What is the accepted best practice out there to handle patching like this?
I am trying to fill the holes in our patching process and any help is appreciated.
Thanks

How many of you computers are left on all night? I would suggest with even WS, it will not be many, due to power management settings.
If they are left on then you are wasting lots of $$s on power, AC cooling costs, life span of the computer, etc. and these cost will be surprisingly high.
The point being is that MW and deploying software or SU will always be at odds with each other.
The trick is to empower you users. You do this by give your users 3-5 days to install the SU when it is best for them and if they don’t do it, the SU get applied at the deadline
with enough advance notice that they can save their work before any reboot happen.
It is always a balance act but it is hard for users/management to complain, when user are given DAYS to install something and the user don’t do it in time. There are a million
different way to “sell” this to both management and users so they see the benefit in empowering users.
Help the environment “Stay Green”
Reduce costs
Improved user satisfaction
Etc.
