Playback not consistent on different computers
I have used Captivate 4 to create a flash presentation. I created the presentation by importing a PowerPoint file with animations as well as imported audio files. I then synchronized the audio with the animation.
The presentation plays perfectly on my computer, but every other computer in my company plays the presentation out of sync. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jay
Sorry, only certain preferences are synced between computers. This does not yet include toolbar customizations. We're planning to add the ability to sync add-ons and more preferences in future versions of Firefox.

Linking to pages or destinations within PDFs not consistent on different computers
Hi,
I'm building a web page and want to link to specific pages on a pdf. On some people's computers, it works, no problem. On others, it doesn't. Has anyone run into a problem like this? The problem doesn't seem to be specific to what version of acrobat the user has. All users are windows based. Any ideas? Thanks!That does sound like a bit of an odd issue, but I may have an explanation:
As I recall (and Wikipedia confirms), Microsoft completely re-wrote the network stack for Windows Vista. The changes implemented here could explain the better performance that you are experiencing on your Vista machine vs. your XP machine. Some of the changes include:
A native implementation of IPv6 (your UML290 uses IPv6 to communicate)
A complete overhaul of IPv4 -
This is happening on different OS's Win 7, Win XP, Win Vista (32 & 64 Bit) OS's and various printers HP, Lexmark that we have at several different sites where we have computers. This happens on locally installed printers (LPT1, USB) and IP networked printers. ALL printer drivers are current and worked correctly under Firefox 3.6.15. Print previews show the correct printers but only shows the URL's on the top of the pages which is all that prints, it even happens on when trying to print pdf's. This is happening on all fifty computers that we have that have been upgraded to ver 4.0 from ver Firefox 3.6.15. Updates made within FF update tool. Same thing happens with all add-ons disabled on all computers. Read all knowledge base items on printing problems none helpful. Obviously, something is not working right. Any suggestions?
Is there anyone who might be able to offer some suggestions on this issue, please?
I posted this question/issue 48 hours ago, and it's floating downhill in the queue without any replies. I am still paralyzed, unable to print.
Bob Headrick, I notice that you are omnipresent on this forum, and also very knowlegeable. May I ask for your thoughts on this issue? I believe I've followed all the rules here--posting the specifics of the problem, the model numbers and configurations of all equipment, the software involved--but if I've failed to follow forum protocol in any way, please let me know and I'll do my best to post the information you need. I'm sorry to call you out by name, but I'm unclear on how to get help, and I'm at a loss for a solution to this issue.
Thanks in advance to Bob and/or anyone else who has a moment to help on this incredibly frustrating issue.

Code not readable from different computers
I was testing my site from a different computer than the one
I used to design the site, so I copied the entire site folder onto
a flash drive and loaded it on a desktop that did not have
Dreamweaver installed on it. The site loaded fine in the browser,
Spry Menu Bar included but when I decided to make a change and
tried to load the html file in microsoft word, it gave me a message
saying "missing file ... SpryMenuBarHorivontal.css." The file *was*
in the folder in its proper place. When I loaded it anyway, it
looked like gibberish. When I then re-loaded the file in the
browser, the menu bar now displayed as a simple text list of links.
Loading the code on my DW computer did not revert it to the Spry
menu bar format - it still loaded as a simple list.
I am worried that I will not be able to make simple changes
to the text content on ths site without having DW on hand. What is
it that is preventing the code from translating? Before I got DW, I
constructed a page right from html on this computer without
problems. Is it the CSS that's confusing the other computer?>If there are any site root relative paths used, they will
not work.
Unless site-root paths were added without my knowledge, I
don't have any. (Are they added by default as part of the Spry menu
bar?) Also, wouldn't the web site also display improperly in the
browser if the paths didn't work, not just the code reading
improperly?
>Put the site on a web server to view it on a different
computer.
I can't put it on a web server because I'm making the site
for someone else and I don't have server details. Also, I need to
know that that person will be able to edit the file without DW, not
just view the site. You need to have the file on your computer for
that, don't you?
>WHY would you use Word to edit it? Why?
Because I didn't have a program specifically designed for
html files on that computer, because word can handle html just fine
(in my previous experience, at least) and because I prefer its
interface to that of notepad. Is there any reason why *not* to use
Word in this situation? -

Premiere Pro CS5 Not exportting to tape on TWO different Computers!!! HELP
I had a prior post in january with a new desktop having problems exporting to tape. when it would export a blue screen would come up at random times breaking up the recording. almost like the camera was losing signal with the computer.
Im capturing and exporting using a Canon XHG1 HDV camera.
Both the Laptop (sony vpcf11x) and Desktop (custom with intel sandybridge motherboard) can CAPTURE tapes fine. but export causes problems on BOTH machines.
Both of my computers (a laptop and desktop use the Intel i7 chipset.
I have a Third desktop (gateway something or other) that ive been using Sony Vegas to Export to tape and it WORKS EVERYTIME! with the same Camera and Firewire Cable.
Itried installing Sony Vegas onto the new Desktop to export and I get the SAME problem that I get with Exporting with Premiere.
has anyone else heard of these problems? it is really starting to irritate me. with everything ive done, it has to be something with Adobe. how can i have the same problem on two different computers?Here are more specific information with my system and settings for you to see. I also included a video of my workflow and showing you what exactly is happening on export.
Project Settings:
Capture Format DV
Video Rendering and Playback: Mercury Playback Engine Software only
Sequence Settings:

assemble timecode, delay movie start, and preroll _ frames (none are checked)
abort after _ dropped frames (not checked)
report dropped frames (not checked)
render audio before video (is checked)
I render out the video to one file (on my desktop).
then import the clip into a new sequence with the above settings.
file>export>tape>
then it begins recording and drops out like the camera loses signal.
this is really frusterating. -
I have a sole i-pod and two pc's, used the instructions for "iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder" in the hope that I could synch my one i-pod between two different computers that are sharing the same library. Is it possible to have two seperate computers that only share an external hard drive (one wireless, one not) ? When I am looking at a shared library should it appear the same on both machines (ie: playlists/ purchased list etc)?
If it is moved correctly, playlists will display on both computers and it should be possible.
Close iTunes.
Hold <SHIFT> and launch iTunes.
When prompted to create a new or open an existing iTunes library point iTunes to the iTunesLibrary.itl file on the external drive.
The entire library should now show up with all playlists and playcounts.
Do this on both computers.
Keep in mind that only one computer can access iTunes at a time, otherwise errors will occur when each computer attempts to write to or update the iTunesLibrary.itl file.
Syncing may work seemlessly with both computers, but honestly syncing is designed to work with one and only one computer. -
Downloading songs from two different computers, and not recognizing songs
On my home computer, I downloaded about 40 songs onto my IPod from CDs. Then, I installed the program on my work computer, and purchased four songs from ITunes. When I plug my IPod into my work computer, it is not recognizing the songs I downloaded from my home computer. However, if I plug my IPod into my work computer, I can listen to these four purchased songs, but once I try to listen to them without having it plugged into my work computer, only the songs I downloaded from home are on the IPod.
Has this happened to anyone else who has tried to put songs from two different computers onto their IPod?Just to elaborate a bit, you need to copy the purchased files and put them on your home computer.
Don't burn them as an audio CD as you will lose quality when you re-import them.
You can use the Shuffle (instead of a CD) to do this

my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
any thoughts anyone??Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

I accidentally unplugged my iPod before ejecting it, which has never been a problem before. But today it says theres no music on it even though it says there's used space. I don't have my iPod backed up and my music is on several different computers. Help!! How do I get my music back?
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Hello, I d like to buy Lightroom but first I want to know if this is possible to install it on two different computers? If not, what happen if I change my computer. Thks for your help.
The standard licence covers installation on any two computers - one being in use at any time.
If you change computers, simply uninstall from the old machine and install on the new - Lightroom doesn't use "dial home" activation and deactivation. -
I have tried restoring the ipod on different computers, one Vista, and one 7. On both, the restore process seems to complete just as it should, until the point where it says "your IPOD will now restart and will appear in listed devices. This IPOD never restarts. The Apple logo just stays on for approximately 30 seconds and then the screen turns off for five or ten seconds and the logo comes back on, over and over for approximately forty five minutes or so, Occasionally the "connect to USB" will come back on, but that is rare. When that does happen, the I-Tunes recognizes it again as an IPOD that needs to complete the restore process. VERRRRRY AGGRAVATING!!!
Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It appears you have a hardware problem.

Office 2010 spaces between words not consistent
Hello all,
I recently switched from Office 2003 to Office 2010. Since the switch I notice that the spaces between words are not consistent in length.
I selected the spaces individually and even in the selection you see differences in the size of the spaces.
This example is from a PPT using Ariel, 18 font size.
Things I've tried so far:
I've tried disabling kerning, but that makes the font look really bad. I also tried adjusting the character spacing and while this does solve the issue on an individual basis, I don't have the time to go over every space in a document or presentation to fix
this issue.
The text is aligned left and I've verified that there is only one space between the words.
I tried the same document on 2 different pc's. One of Windows 7, the other on Windows 8.1. Both have this issue with Office 2010. 2 Different computers using Office 2013 do not have this spacing issue.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Office 2010? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance,
ZjefHi Zjef,
Generally, in Word, spaces should be consistent for all texts, unless you have your paragraph set to "Justify" which means to stretch out the text to fill the entire space within the margin.
So please first check if you have this option selected for your text.
Also, have you ever tried to print it out and check if it's the same as on the screen? Sometime word will adjust the space to improve document readability, which vary by screen sizes, video cards, etc.
Regards,
Ethan Hua

Time Machine: Backup folder changing size when connected to different computers
Can someone please help me wrap my head around why the size of my Time Machine backup folder changes when connected to different computers? I tried to be as thorough as possible. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
I made a backup of my one laptop (MacBook Pro running 10.6.8) before installing Mavericks. The backup folder size is 258.56 GB and it is on a 1TB WD external. There are no other computers backed up in this folder.
Last night, I tried to copy the backup folder to another 1TB WD external and ran into the “you can’t do that” message. After some researching, I came across articles explaining how Time Machine handles HDs and, in order for me to copy my backup folder, the drive I want to copy the folder to needs to have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected.
Okay, so here is my situation: I have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected and journaling is correct on the drive I want to copy the backup folder to. So I can continue working on my laptop, I want to use a different computer to copy the backup folder from one HD to the other. The problem I’m having is each computer I own is showing me a different backup folder size O.o.
(1) The computer I want to use – a Power Mac G5 Quad running 10.4.11 (non intel) – is showing a backup folder size of 592.7 MB, but the HD shows there is 258 GB being used. When I drag copy, I only get a 592.7 MB backup folder. For some reason, the backup folder is the only folder acting this way. I compared other folders from the same and different externals and all the sizes match up perfectly no matter the computer they were connected to. How is this possible?
(2) My second option - Mac Pro (early 2009) running 10.9.4 – is showing a 256.15 GB backup folder size. Very close, but not 258.56 GB.
(3) My last option is to use the computer I’m trying to stay away from, the MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. This is the computer I backed up and is showing me the correct folder size = 258.56GB. As I mentioned, I'd like to work on my laptop while copying the backup folder using one of my other computers.
I am able to drag and drop from each computer, but the folder size depends on the computer I’m using. I don’t understand why I can't do a simple drag and drop of a 258 GB folder.
Many thanks!!The directory files that you are seeing are not real. They are links to the actual backup files that are stored in a hidden directory on the drive. If you were to look at the same drive on a pc, you would see the folders and you would a list files that are in the folders but the files would all be 0 byte files and Windows will tell you the file is empty because there is nothing there but a link which Windows does not understand.
So the point is you can't just copy the backupd files. The best solution that I know of (and maybe someone else will chime in) for copying them is to mirror the drive with something like Carbon Copy or some other program.

Airport Extreme Not Consistently Assigning DHCP
I am using a relatively new (within the last year) Airport Extreme as the primary router on my home network. Connected directly to the router is a GigE switch, an AT&T Microcell, and another router - an Aruba RAP which creates a secure VPN for my home/remote office network. The connection to my Apple desktop is made through the GigE switch, as are three additional wired connections to other devices in my home, including two Apple TV's and (hopefully) two Airport Expresses.
I recently discovered when trying to configure a new Airport Express to extend my wireless network over ethernet (roaiming network) that my Airport extreme is not consistently assigning the IP addresses within it's defined DHCP range (10.0.1.0 - 10.0.1.200). About half of the time devices on the network are getting a default 169.254.x.x IP address, which (in the case of my desktop) results in an 'self assigned IP' error within the network settings. I can reboot my apple desktop and the next time it gets a correct 10.0.1.1 address. Reboot again, it defaults back to a 169 address - and so on. It doesnt seem to make any difference if I connect my desktop directly to the Extreme, or, if I connect it through the GigE switch. And, every time I get a 'self assigned IP' I have no connectivity beyond the Extreme (no internet), and I'm forced to use my wireless/Airport connection.
Another problem here is that the Expresses both expect to receive 10.x IP addresses and when they don't get one, they basically become pretty $100 paperweights when connected over ethernet. Also, if you try to configure a new Express without the 10.x address it expects to be assigned (and defaults to a 169.x), the Airport Utility will no longer 'find' the Express once the Express auto-restarts and the update will fail. I learned this after spending two hours on the phone with Apple support yesterday - during which they were able to get my first generation Express configured, but, not my 24-hour old second Generation Express, which continues to act only as a paperweight. Oddly enough, everything works perfectly well if I use only wireless connections to the Extreme - there are no IP problems and everything works correctly. Unfortunately, I want to use wired connections for all my devices (expresses, Apple TV's) because we stream alot of audio and video.
Is my Extreme not working correctly? Does anyone think it's problematic to have a second router (the Aruba) connected behind the Extreme? I suppose I could force some components to use only specific IP's, but, that sounds like a pain. If the Aruba is problematic, I would also consider a second internet connection, or, finding some way to split home IP traffic vs work IP traffic.
Thoughts?I've been doing some research and it appears the 'self assigned IP' address is a common problem in the Apple support community. And, for what it's worth, it appears an inability to isolate or accurately troubleshoot the problem - by users or Apple tech support - is a recurring theme. I totally understand that no two home networks are exactly alike (different ISPs, switches, configurations, etc.), but, after being a die-hard PC user for my entire life I can honestly say I never encountered anything like this while using my PC. I'm not about to trash my Mac, but, the Apple 'ease of use' selling point is quickly losing it's lustre.
I got into this mess because I added a GigE switch to my network. Rather than buy a different switch (a tactic which assumes my problems are being caused by the switch) I'm inclined to buy another Airport Extreme and try daisy-chaining them together to overcome the reason I bought the GigE switch in the first place, which is not enough ethernet ports on the Extreme. That, or I'll spend a weekend in my attic re-wiring my home network to daisy-chain my two Express devices together instead of requiring individual connections to my router. My experience with Apple hardware thus far is that it prefers to 'play nice' with other Apple hardware over non-Apple hardware. It could be $100 error on my end (or, a weekend of not doing yardwork), but, I think it's the best shot. Other possible fixes, including manually assigned IP-addresses, put too much emphasis on software and network configuration - which (by my non-scentific analysis), are two areas even harder to troubleshoot.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Mh
Post Script - Dear Apple: please find a way to significantly increase the number of ethernet ports on your Airport Extreme Router. Thank you.
