Movie works in Keynote setup but not during presentation

Hi,
I have a movie clip on the last slide of my presentation that will only work on click in the setup portion of Keynote (where I create builds, etc). But will not even work on click in the actual presentation mode (i would prefer that it starts automatically but will live with an on click start). It acts like it wants to start - you hear a split second of audio, then it stops...no motion.
The file extension for the movie clip shows as MPEG - anyone know how I can get this to play properly on cue in the presentation.

Wow, I had the same issue, a h.246 video that simply would work in my presentation (it's 185MB) and clicking that option within the "Keynote Preferences > Slideshow > [check] Allow Expose, Dashboard and others to use screen" worked! I unlicked it, and it broke again.
Clearly a bug.
Thanks for the tip!

FCP Quicktime Movies works well in iDVD, but not in DVDSP

Hello,
I work in a film school with several iMac & PowerMac editing suites running Final Cut Studio 2.
Every computer is set up exactly the same way, yet we are having odd problems with DVDSP on one of the PowerMacs.
From FCP6, we export self contained quicktime movies, that we then Compress, and then import into DVDSP. This system works well on all of our new iMacs, but on the 3 year old PowerMac, the resultant DVDs that it burns do NOT playback on any DVD Players at all.
Yet strangely, when I take the same QT Movie into iDVD on that computer, it burns a perfectly good DVD.
I have even tried bringing the QT Movie files and Compressor files from the Power Mac and transfer them onto an iMac and have been able to burn them fine that way as well. This is occurring with all the FCP projects on this computer.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Sincerely,
Marc Griffin

It could be a few things, but it may be that the drive itself is dirty or going. It sounds strange but there were people on the board who ran into issues where they could burn the DVD but not play it back on the same drive. Could be something became corrupted. Also people have noticed some strange things happening if an install of Studio 2 was done over a prior installation - it seemed to be most reliable by doing a fresh OS install then installing 2. Also does the computer have all the updates to the software? Are all the computers running the same OS? Have you deleted prefs and repaired permissions?
Also check your settings on the PowerMac, are you doing a proper build/burn? Did you set a first play? Are you using the same type of media?

Why would a rented movie work on the ground but not in the air?

This is the craziest thing. I rented a movie from my MacBook Pro and then transferred it to my iPad 2 for a flight. However once I got on the plane each time I tried to open it I received a message that the movie could not be opened. OK. I figured I made a mistake in the transfer. Once I got home I tried to open the movie again (in Airplane mode, just to be sure) and it loaded right up. I didn't press play since I was leaving on another flight in two days. Got on the flight and had the exact same problem. Once I landed I tried it again and it loaded right up, but I didn't hit play because I have another flight on Friday. What are the odds it will occur three times in a row? I have 20 days left on the rental and about six more flights. This could be fun.
To lend a little irony to the situation the movie is "Up In The Air". Anyone have any clue what the heck is going on? The only variable among the two instances is that in the air I had headphones plugged in, but on the ground I didn't.

Hi Dominique:
First-if your mac can control the camera but not see the video,
*Open Garageband
*Play a note or two
*Close Garageband
*Open iMovie
The camera will work now-REALLY!!
If not, look here:

Inserted .swf movie works fine on PC, but not on website.

Greetings!
Using Captivate 4, I created a New User Training module that demonstrated a program within certain slides of the module as a .swf animation. The .swf animation was another, smaller Captivate4-created simulation, published as a Flash 8 file. When I preview, and after publication, the simulation movie displays and plays as designed. However, when the file is uploaded to its destination website, the simulation movie does not display at all.
What can I do to get these simulation demos to work? The overall CBT module won't be effective without them.
Thanks!

And while I'm asking, what image content type is allowed in these forums? I get this message when I try to upload a 200x116 jpeg to illustrate my challenge. I continue to get: [The content type of this image is not allowed.]

Hi Paul,
I think your problem is the same as described in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/515052?tstart=0
If you have Flash then try and create a Flash loader as described in the above thread. If not then try and disable the Auto Play feature on the small embedded Captivate 4 file and see if it will work for you then.

.mov works on my website but not on iPhone or iPod ?

I exported a .mov file from iMovie, load on to my dreamweaver site. Loads great on the site, but on a iPhone or iPod touch no dice. I know it is something small but I have been coding all day and at a loss...
Someone please shed some light!
Thanks

but on a iPhone or iPod touch no dice.
You're right, it's something small. In iMovie, open the Share menu and choose "iPod".

Query works in Report but not during Edit session

I have a report based on an SQL query, and it works perfectly from the menu in Development. It's also in Test and Production, and it works there, too. I want to change the template it's on, so I went in through the Navigator to open up and change the report. The Edit session opens up to the query, but I cannot move to any of the other tags, because it says the query is "not valid".
It won't allow me to save the query 'as is', because it supposedly isn't valid. The report isn't locked, and prior versions (I went back to view five of them) have the same trouble. How can the query work off the menu, but not be 'valid'? We installed a patch recently, but even so, why would the query work in one spot and not another?
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?
Pat Murray

Hi,
Please give me the query and the error the error you are getting.
Thanks,

When i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

G4 iBook works in Safe Mode, but not in regular mode (stuck on blue screen)

14" iBook G4 1.2GHz with 1 gig of RAM.
I recently had an issue with this machine in that the image on the screen would freeze but the cursor would be able to move around. This was narrowed down to an issue with the logic board. I wanted something a little more permanent than a shim, so I sent the board in to have it reballed.
After installing the maching back into my iBook, it seemed to work fine until I applied a software update to the machine.
It was then that I got to experience the first of many kernel panics.
Restarting at different times always brought me to the dialog box which states that the machine needed to be restarted in multiple languages.
Running the Apple Hardware Test off my install disks yielded this error code: 2ATI/2/4:113-xxxxx-125
I have no idea what that means. I do know that just before I got the results of the test, the screen changed to all kinds of colors. It was only for a few seconds and then the results (with the error code) were displayed.
Still, not sure what to do next, I tried resetting the PRAM. I also tried resetting the NVRAM.
I also tried booting up into Safe Mode which actually worked. There were no issues with the machine and everything seemed to be working fine.
When I tried to restart the machine in regular mode, I'm taken to the infamous blue screen and the machine just stays there. When I let the machine stay off overnight, it booted up normal, but after applying the software update, the machine was in kernel panic again.
I've tried running fsck, but nothing changes.
I'm still not sure why it seems to work in Safe Mode but not in regular mode.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas.

Hi,
A couple of the things that are disabled in safe mode are AirPort and non Apple startup items. The easiest thing for you to test is the AirPort card. Shut down and remove the AE card under the keyboard. See if it starts. If it does your AE card is bad. If not, start in safe mode and go to System Preferences>Accounts>youraccount and disable all non Apple startup (LOgin) items by clicking on them and then the minus sign. Restart normally and see if it will start.

Magic Mouse One-Finger Swipe Works for one user but not the other

For the main account on my iMac, I can use a single finger swipe to move back and forward within Chrome. However the second user (also an administrator) cannot use this setting and must instead use the two finger swipe in settings. Both settings are identical but the Chrome browser wont recognize the single finger swipe for the second user. The gesture works fine in Safari, but not Chrome. Any suggestions?

Actionscript works in IDE,projector but not SWF

Hello, I'm atempting to create a swf that loads in a
controller swf and accesses some of the information contained
within the load swf. My main timeline is pretty simple.
var preloader_mc:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("preloader_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var labelcontainer:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var label:TextField = labelcontainer.createTextField("label",
1, 0, 365, 150, 20);
var TOCcontainer:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("TOCcontainer",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var TOClabel:TextField =
TOCcontainer.createTextField("TOClabel", 1, 0, 300, 150, 20);
then I have an onenter frame function that access the
variable contained within the loaded swf.
loadMovie("xml_controller.swf", preloader_mc);
onEnterFrame = function () {
vTime =
this.preloader_mc.container.controlBar.timeView.label.value;
this.label.text = vTime
When I test the movie I see the time displayed and everything
is ok. When I create a projector file I see the time display. When
I try to run the swf, in a browser or straight from explorer All I
see is undefined for the values.
Anybody have any ideas why this would work in two
environments but not the third?

I saw this issue with a website I did. Sometimes the code
would work no problem in the projector but fail when I published to
the site.
Does the xml_controller.swf refer to _root anywhere? If you
have not locked the root and there is something it needs to access
locally it won't be able to find the item because the _root it is
referring to is now the load.swf movie

Enterprise Mgr works with one db but not the other

Hi
We have two Oracle 10g databases installed. Enterprise Manager works with the second, but not the first. I believe the problem started when we migrated the host server to another network domain. Everything else works fine, but I'm getting a page load failure when attempting to access enterprise mgr.
The second db was installed after the migration and EM works fine.
Can anyone tell me how to reconfigure this?
Thank you

by any change hostname or ip was changed during migration
also can u paste the emoms.trc ?

Trouble playing .swf - works offline in browser but not online on website

Hi there,
I'm having trouble displaying a flash .swf file properly on my website: http://dreamriderproductions.com/fun/game-test/
When I view the .swf file locally on Chrome, I get a text box to enter my name and I can click Go and keep playing the game. For some reason, when it's up on the website, there's no text box so I can't progress. Can you?
Background: The game did used to connect to a database, but the upgrade of our website (and relocation of the swf) seems to have broken the database connection. People couldn't progress past the first screen presumable because the information on which city they were in couldn't be submitted to the database. We've got a version of the game with the database connection disabled and so the game should now work - it works locally for me but not on the website!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sion

The code you have posted is not the same code as used in:
<div id="gallery">
in the link above.
The reason that the Flash is not displaying in FF is that the portion of the code used by FF was omitted. The code currently used on the page only works in IE.
I'm no great fan of the IE conditional statements used in the code you posted so I don't blame you for not using it. But you do need to provide something for FF.... the old, out dated method would be to add and <embed> for FF... here's the newer method..
So either use code you posted above or better yet, get rid of that and replace the current <object> with
<div id="gallery">
<object id="FlashID" data="flash/201.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="958" height="242">
   <param name="movie" value="flash/201.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
     <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0"/>
</object>
</div>
Give that a try. Will work in both FF and newer IE versions.
Best wishes,

How do I troubleshoot installation/distribution of a LabVIEW .exe which processes data using Matlab when it works on some computers but not others?

I've been given the unenviable task of troubleshooting and installing/distributing software written by a former co-worker. I've modified the LabVIEW code and built an .exe file. I've successfully installed the Labview .exe file on several computers, but it won't work on some others. What's more baffling is that I installed it successfully on one computer, uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it with no success. In fact, it's a new error (Dr. Watson for Windows NT application error). It doesn't help that I have different versions of LabVIEW and Matlab on the target computers. Some have LabVIEW 5.1, some
have 5.0, and some don't have it at all. Some have Matlab 5.2, some have 5.3 (R11) and some have 6.0 (R12). It's also not clear to me where the Matlab m files should be located. I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW Runtime Engine problem, or if it's a Matlab problem. I've also wondered how LabVIEW and Matlab talk to each other. When LabVIEW calls Matlab, it seems that Matlab is running in the background. In other words, clicking on the Matlab Command Window and typing "whos" or any other command/variable doesn't work.

Site works in the app, but not in the browser.

Hello iWeb experts,
I've got problems.
Last night I published my site. And while it appears, and functions, properly in my iWeb app, it doesn't do the same in Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
Two issues...
FONTS
I chose Bellamie, Univers Condensed, and Marydale as my fonts. From reading these forums, I've discovered those won't wysiwyg on other computers if the fonts aren't available and open on them. So my two choices are to make every bit of text a graphic or to use a set of more universal fonts, correct? So my questions are...One, is there a list somewhere of fonts that will work in any browser? And, two, is there a short-cut, or easy way to transform type into a graphic without having to create image files?
FUNCTIONS
Here are the functions that work fine in iWeb but have gone haywire in all of the browsers I tested...
• The type in one nav link appears smaller than all the rest.
• Some links are active, others are not.
• Rollover highlighting works on some links, but not others.
• Most of the rollover links appear in the proper static color, a few do not.
I've tested these functions on three Macs, one PC, and in the three browsers mentioned above. All of them show the exact same problems. So something must be going wrong with iWebs coding, or my host server musn't like iWeb.
Any thoughts, suggestions on these two issues? Thanks much for any advice.
John

Fascinating, Kirk (+he types with one raised eyebrow+).

When I drag across your page most of your links do not change. The "text" portion of them doesn't change, either. Something is covering them.
I can see that. But for the life of me, I don't know what could be covering those links. In my app, when I click in the area of the links, the type is the first item selected. Unless, possibly, it could somehow be the faint reflection of my black-and-white image (me & the ground I stand on). Hmmm...

Single click (outside the boundaries of your page contents) and an "outline" will appear. It shows the image file dimensions and locations.
This I don't see. An outline? As in "an object outline," or as in "a list of dimensions and locations?" When I click outside my page contents, I get nothing.
Thanks, QTK. I truly appreciate your troubleshooting here.

Can get the AirPlay to work off my computer, but not my iPhone or iPad. I have the latest software. Airplay logo never appears on iPhone or iPad.
