Presentation won't run

I hope someone can help me with this. I have a very large
presentation (554 slides, 80MB) that was doing just fine until the
other day. Sometime last week it stopped saving, but I didn't
realize that the asterisk was still there on the top of the window
after I hit "save"...it went through the progress bar and acted
like it was saving but it really wasn't. Also, about this time, it
stopped running correctly when I was publishing. Again, it goes
through the progress bar like it's publishing to a SWF, but when it
opens in the browser window, there's nothing there.
I have tried several fixes that I read about online (copying
slides into another presentation, importing slides into another
presentation, etc) but nothing works. I don't think I can break it
up into two movies b/c slides at the beginning jump to slides at
the end and vice versa.
Anyone have a fix? I've tried everything and am extremely
frustrated as I have spent WEEKS working on this project.

Hi again
I'm never one that says (or likes saying) that something is
impossible. I'm aware that if you are using a Learning Management
System (LMS) that Captivate has the conversation between the LMS
and Captivate allows the LMS to open Captivate at a specific slide.
I believe this process is called "Bookmarking". Basically keeping
track of where the user left off and resuming at that point. But
this is something that is normally hidden from the user. As a mere
Captivate developer, we don't have easy access to make this happen.
So the short answer here is that all we may do is link to Captivate
movies at the beginning. We can't link to specific slides when we
link to other movies. Sure would be nice though, I do see many
asking about it.
I'm not an Authorware user, but I believe that Adobe has
discontinued further development of it and is urging folks to
consider Captivate as the natural replacement. However, I've heard
from a few folks that Authorware is like Captivate on steroids,
giving you more capabilities with programming things. So I would
have no clue as to how well Captivate might be able to be exported
to Authorware or if it's even an option. And sorry, but I'm unaware
of a different product that might be able to handle larger
projects.
Cheers... Rick

  • Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks.  I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks.  Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark?  Is that possible?

    Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks.  I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks.  Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark?  Is that possible?

    Hi ancelau,
    QuarkXPress 3 is a Classic Mac OS application, so you need a version of OS X that still supports Classic. I believe 10.4 was the last one.
    So if you have an iMac that boots with 10.4, then yes that is possible. I doubt though that newer Macs boot with OS X 10.4.
    So why don't you upgrade QuarkXPress 3 to a newer version? I am not just asking that because I want you to spend money with us.
    Typically using software that was released almost 20 years ago is just feasible when you keep an environment that was current at the time of release or a few years after, so an older Mac with a operating system present at that time. 20 years in IT is a lot.
    So my opinion is that on a new Mac with a brand new operating system you need to use something a bit more current.
    How about QuarkXPress 9 (released 3 years ago) or QuarkXPress 10? You are better off with v9, as QuarkXPress 10 only opens v7 and higher (whereas QuarkXPress 9 opens v3.1 and higher).
    Or - I am even happy to make an exception - upgrade to 9 and we give you 10 for free? Let me know please.
    Thanks

  • My ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but won't run anything that uses it like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

    Can anyone help me? my  ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but it won't run anything that uses wifi like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

    You didn't indicate if it ever worked.  If it NEVER did, the problem could be caused by a firewall in the router.  For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
    You will need administrative access to the router.  If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again.  If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again.  Repeat as required.

  • Power Point won't run

    Suddenly the Power Point application won't run properly it open but it would not run the presentation. Any solution to this matter?

    Since PowerPoint is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

  • Hi.Downloaded OSX Mavericks10.9.1. Won't run Apple Works 6.0, CanoScan Toolbox X, CNQL 3201.ButtonManager SUGGESTIONS

    Hi.Downloaded OSX Mavericks 10.9.1.On start of install, say's won't run Apple Works 6.0, CanoScan Toolbox X, CNQL 3201.ButtonManager! Yes, I know AW6 is in dinosaur land (but I don't really want to have to convert 1000's of documents to Pages) and also don't want to ditch perfectly good Canon 9900F scanner. So, is there an update re software to keep both items running if I update from OSX10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to the free update OSX10.9.1 (Mavericks) Suggestions Please? Ta Ian

    Regarding AppleWorks - No. It will never run under Mavericks.
    Pages will open most AW word processing documents.
    Numbers will open most AW spreadsheets.
    Keynote will open most AW presentations.
    Your Canon scanner may work under Apple's Image Capture software, you'll have to test that.
    Best of luck.

  • DEFECT: DDL generated in wrong order, won't run, and wrong encoding.

    I highlighted a number of related tables in the connections pane, right-clicked and asked it to generate DDL to a worksheet.
    First of all, the generated DDL was unreadable gibberish. That's because my set up is using the Unicode (UTF-16) preference and the generated DDL is apparently encoded into US-ASCII.
    I changed the settings to US-ASCII and was able to generate DDL that can be read in the worksheet. Defect #1.
    Second, the DDL was generated in Table Order. That is to say, all DDL for the first table was generated, then all DDL for the second, etc.
    Since the first table has a foreign key to the second table, the generated DDL won't run. Defect #2. It should generate the create table statements and pk/uk statements for all tables first, then add the foreign keys afterwards.
    That way, the order in which the tables are present in the file won't matter.

  • Video Express won't run

    I installed Adobe Presenter 10 and Video Express on my Windows 7 PC with Microsoft Office 2013. The Adobe Presenter add-in works fine, but video express won't run either through PowerPoint or on its own. Why will the program not even open? All it says is Adobe Presenter has stopped working when I try to run the Video Express.

    I cannot get Video express to work on 2 recent Presenter installations for faculty. I have never had this problem before.  The video driver has been updated.
    Issues:
    In Video Express, under Preferences, I cannot switch to the Project View.  The option is grayed out.
    When trying to create a video from within PowerPoint, I get the following messages.
    On one faculty computer we were able to record from Video Express directly, but not from within PowerPoint. On the other PC we cannot use Video Express at all although the Presenter application in PowerPoint seems to be working.
    Please advise on a solution.

  • CS3 installs but won't run

    Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
    My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
    When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
    I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
    I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
    I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
    I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
    The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
    We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
    So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
    errrrr
    Anybody have any clues on this?

    Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
    I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
    And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
    Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
    Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
    Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
    Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
    I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
    The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
    I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
    They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
    The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
    The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
    Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
    And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
    Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
    Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
    Not sure what my next move is.

  • How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?

    Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
    This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
    Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
           Tags (edit): none (add)  
    Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
    I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
    So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
    P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??

    Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).

  • Action steps that won't run correctly in PSE 7/8/9 (but did in 4 and 6)

    I have a wonderful action that was written to work in PSE 3/4/6.  It won't run in PSE 7/8/9.  After fooling around for a while, I think I understand why.  Adobe changed the way Adjustment Layers are handled.  In earlier versions of Photoshop and Elements, Adjustment Layers threw up a modal dialog box.  That changed so that Adjustment Layers now appear in the Palette Bin as a palette.
    Here a sample of some of the action steps that won't work correctly:
    Make adjustment layer
    Using: adjustment layer
    Type: levels
    Set Selection
    To: none
    Set current layer
    To: layer
    Name:  “Adjustment 1”
    Set current layer
    To: layer
    Mode: luminosity
    Stop
    Message:  “Move gray slider left”
    With Continue
    Set current adjustment layer
    To: levels
    In earlier versions of PS and PSE, the way these steps would work is that a new adjustment layer would be created, the dialog box giving the instruction would open, it would be dismissed by clicking "Continue," and then the "Set current adjustment layer to: Levels" would generate a model adjustment layer dialog box would open up which would let one make the adjustment.
    In newer versions, since Adjustment Layers are handled in the Palette Bin, after dismissing the instructions, the action doesn't stop to allow the user to make change the sliders on the adjustment layer.
    The action runs perfectly in CS4 and CS5 and throws up the levels adjustment modal box as it did in PSE 4 and PSE 6, but the action doesn't throw the modal box in PSE 7/8/9
    Does anyone know of a way to alter the action steps to allow the action to stop to allow the adjustment and then to resume again?

    Adding a new levels adjustment layer on top of the Midtone contrast layer
    should work, just use a clipping mask to restrict the adjustments to the
    areas of the levels adjustment layer below. The histogram will be different, but
    actually testing the action is really the only way to know if that makes any difference.
    Replacing the levels adjustment layer is another option, though it requires a few more steps.
    The following assumes when the action gets to this point,
    the Midtone contrast adjustment layer is the active (selected) layer.
    To record this part of the action:
    1. Duplicate current channel (in the channels panel. drag the Midtone contrast mask
        down to the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the channels panel)
    2. Ctrl+click on the newly created channel (Midtone contrast mask copy)
        This loads the selection of that channel.
    3. Drag the new channel (midtone contrast mask copy) to the trash icon at the bottom
       of the channels panel.
    4. Back in the layers panel, delete the Midtone Contrast adjustment layer.
    5. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
        This creates a new levels adjustment layer using the selection loaded from
        the duplicated channel and opens the levels dialog.
    To load the RGB (composite) as a selection, Ctrl+click on the rgb in the channels panel
    and the same is true for the red, green and blue channels.
    With layer masks, elements doesn't seem to want to load them as selections in actions,
    so that's the reason for the action steps above.

  • CS2 won't run

    CS2 won't run, says activation code no longer usable. Been running win7 on this system 3 years. Adobe says it won't activate in win7. Well, it did, and ran just fine. what's up?

    I assume when you say "Adobe says it won't activate in win7" that you talked to customer support....
    A drive change could trigger the need for reactivation.  Did you tell them that you're running from a mirrored drive?
    It sounds to me that they're being aggressive about trying to get you to upgrade when they should still be supporting you with active maintenance of their activation database.
    But unfortunately if you can't get them to adjust their database you're out of luck.

  • I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

    I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart the computer to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

    I ended up putting it in DFU mode.  It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
    Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
    So I used redsn0w.  I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
    Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

  • How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

    The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
    Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
    Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
    HELP!

    Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
    Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
    I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

    I had the same problem on CentOS 6.2 x86_64, albeit not on EC2. It seems that the installer creates a symlink to the i686 libpcap (libcap.so.1 -> /lib/libcap.so.2) and fmsedge won't run with it. Manually removing that symlink and instead linking to the libcap.so.2 in /lib64 solved the problem for me.
    cd /opt/adobe/fms
    rm libcap.so.1
    ln -s /lib64/libcap.so.2 libcap.so.1
