Project background doesn't align with stage after rescaling project

Hello,
I think I discovered a bug that may or may not have been resolved in later versions of Captivate. I'm using Captivate 5 (5.0.3.631) and as much as I'd like to have a newer version, my employer only has this version purchased right now. I'm posting this here because I realize this may not be a bug and there may be a workaround, in which case maybe I can learn something!
The issue appeared when I recently had to rescale my project to make room for a closed captions popup area at the bottom of the stage. (I don't want it to overlap previously positioned content.) Do do this, I rescaled my project to be 25 pixels taller than it was previously, and I selected the resize option to keep the already placed project contents aligned at the top left of the project rather than to scale everything to fit. Just as I hoped, this extended the stage out from the bottom by 25 pixels, much like resizing a canvas property in photoshop.
I then edited my project background images to match the new project stage dimensions in order to cover up the now visible 25-pixel-tall strip of uncovered stage. I imported the new background image onto my master slide in the same way I placed the original one, and this is where the problem appears. The taller image, configured as a "project background", will not align with the stage anymore. Instead, it's hanging off the top of the stage by 13 pixels and not reaching the bottom of the stage by 12 pixels (adding up to the 25 pixels I increased the project height). I purposefully placed the image as a project background rather than just dragging it on the stage of the master slide. My reasons for doing so are somewhat complicated, but mainly are because I need the master slide background to not interfere with the Z-order of items on the regular slides. Apparently a master slide image on the stage of a master slide will cover up items set to display for the rest of the project. Perhaps this is a bug, too?
Anyway, back to the problem at hand... I had everything working fine before I rescaled my project, but now the imported background image won't align with the stage. Because it's set as a project background, there is no way to reposition it on the stage... it just kind of lands where it lands. It appears that when I rescaled the project, Captivate remembered where the center of the "old" sized project was and didn't recalculate the center of the "new" rescaled project. So, when I place a larger image in the master slide (as a project background), it is centering it where the old, smaller project used to be... thus resulting in the larger image to not be centered on the stage.
I figured out a workaround in the mean time by placing the background image on the stage of the master slide (not as aproject background), and by moving more things to the master slide that I don't want to be covered up. This actually seems to be a more elegant solution that what I had previously, but I'd still like to know if what I'm experiencing is a bug or not.

Ok just found a workaround/solution.
(always happens right after I ask, for some reason).
Rescaled my project but kept the size and positions the "same and centered".
Then I replaced all my background images with bigger versions (previously I had cropped them at the right and bottom).
Now my backgrounds were all great, but all my objects were too low.
All I had to do was ctrl+A to select everything on a slide, and then change the Y value for the whole bunch to zero.
This magically placed all objects in their correct respective spots.
Hope that helps someone out!

Wireless adapter Z-Com XG-703A doesn't work with WPA after reboot

Hello everybody,
Arch doesn't load kernel module arc4 during boot with usb wireless adapter Z-Com XG-703A. So WPA doesn't work and It can connect to only opened access points.
I found two work arounds but I don't know how to fix the issue completely.
1. Remove usb adapter and plug it in again (it causes arc4 module to load), then restart networking.
2. rmmod p54usb, rmmod p54common, modprobe arc4, modprobe p54usb and after that restart networking.
Could anybody help to fix the problem generally?

Does the p54common get loaded again as well when you do modprobep54usb?
If not, you might just put that into modprobe.conf blacklist.
If it does get loaded as well, there might be another wireless module getting loaded that perhaps does cause problems. You can check that with
mkinitcpio -v
now, or with lsmod after a reboot before your workaround.

24" iMac stand doesn't align with the body??

When I look at my 24" iMac, the unit itself doesn't align very well with the stand. I noticed that from many different angles.
It looks a little bit wired, but the unit swing very smoothly.
Does anyone has the same problem too??
Will it be better if I remove the stand and install it again?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It takes a special card that you must purchase from Apple to detach the stand from the iMac. I would suggest that if it doesn't appear to be attached correctly that you have an Apple Certified Technician check it out for you and make any necessary adjustments.

Audio moves out of sync or alignment with video after moving clip

I have a video clip with it's detached audio on the secondary timeline. The audio has been broken apart so that I can edit each individual audio track. But I still want to keep the audio linked and synced with the video. When I select the audio and video and move the clip, the audio moves out of sync(by a frame or two), and isn't locked directly under the video the way it should be, or the way it was before I moved the clip. I notice this when I zoom in really close and the audio tracks are a frame or two off. In some cases, the audio tracks get increasingly out of sync the more I move the clip. This shouldn't happen when I select everything together. Has anyone ever experienced this or is there a solution to avoid the audio getting out of perfect alignment with the video? Thanks

Yes, it would probably be best to just turn it into a compound clip. I'm relatively new to FCP X, and I'm coming from FCP 7. In FCP 7, I like being able to see both channels of audio under each clip. So, what I do is adjust the audio levels for each channel separately. I might add keyframes to one channel and leave the other channel alone. In FCP X, it seems like the only way to edit or adjust the separate channels is by breaking apart the audio. Then I can see both channels of audio and I can add key frames, etc. So, I just need to be able to see and edit both audio channels, independently.

ICloud photos doesn't sync with PC after iOS 8 installation on iPad

After installing iOS 8 on my iOS devices (3), photos no longer sync with my PC. Sync worked ok before the iOS so-called 'upgrade', but now it doesn't. Contacts and Calendar seem still to sync, but not photos. Once again, Apple runs ahead with changes without bothering to think through how the so-called improvements will affect services that worked fine before. I'd dearly love it if someone could help to make photo sync work again. Thanks.

My graphics tablet doesn't align with screen in Photoshop Elements 10

Hello,
I had been using my Wacom Bamboo tablet on Photoshop Elements 10 with no problems whatsoever. Today it seems is a different story. As you can see in the image below, the tablet seems to not be aligned correctly with the screen. I am limited to draw in only the section I have scribbled in. I am unable to access any of the screen to draw, use tools etc because it just wont let me when using the tablet. When I use the mouse it is fine.
I have adjusted all of the settings and made sure everything is correct with my tablet driver and the settings of my tablet, I have no problem with any other program on my computer. I have two tablets and the same problem happens with both. I have tried un-installing Elements but the problem is still there when I re-install it.
I really am at a loss, it seems like such a simple thing to fix yet I am completely stumped on this one. Please help as I use my tablet on a daily basis and this really is gutting!!!

PSE will respect the Wacom settings and sensitivities. Go to your tablet control panel and check your pre-sets. Or select he brush tool in the Elements Editor and change the settings to suit.

Latest EyeTV doesn't work with remote after installing latest candelair, 1.20 no option in preferences to activate snow leopard?

After upgrading to Snow Leopard my mac remote no longer works with EyeTV. Have checked EyeTV is the latest version, have also installed the latest Candelair which other users have advised needs to have snow leopard activated in the preferences but on my version there is no mention of this in the preferences pane.
Just lists...
Driver version 1.20 installed
The remote control infrared receiver is enabled
This computer only works with the remote with ID 27 (after I paired it)
Issues with your remote?
Can anyone advise?
Thanks

So, I figured it out myself. Way back in time I had set up some ipfw rules that I had completely forgotten about, which included this:
01000 allow ip from 192.168.0.0/16 to me dst-port 5900 in
Since I switched to the AEBS, of course the IP range changed to 10.0.1.x, so ipfw was blocking it. Problem solved.
Now I just need to figure out why my AEBS keeps crashing..

The numbers for mac doesn't sync with icloud after update

i can sync between ipad and iphone but not with the mac

Make sure you have ticked Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud.
You may need to sign out of iCloud and then back in again to "jumpstart " the syncing.

Once I updated my IPAD to IOS 6 , my apple ID stopped working with FaceTime and iMessage
Every time I enter the password, it says that apple Id is not matching
I am sure that it is the right one, I checked it in iCloud and iTunes, it is working well.

Something as simple as your method of payment having expired could be causing your problems. Use the link below to check all info, especially your payment info, for your Apple ID.

Replacing a subclip with an After Effects Composition doesn't work properly

I have a Premiere Project with DV PAL footage. I have gone through my footage and identified all sorts of subclips in my project, and arranged them into bins. For a few, on the sequence timeline, I want to replace them with After Effects Compositions so I can add some effects.
If I right-click on a designated subclip (or part of a subclip), and choose "Replace with After Effects Composition", After Effects starts up and I end up with an After Effects project containing 3 items:
- a composition called "MyProject Linked Comp 1" (duration: length of sub clip, but the comp's layer itself (the next comp) has a duration of zero, so I just see black)
- another composition called "My Subclip" (duration: length of subclip, starting at beginning of original video footage, not at start of subclip),
- and then the full original video file also called "My Subclip" (and I mean the full original video file that the subclip points to). This is full length.
The linked Composition is therefore viewed as being blank in After Effects, and is returned as such in Premiere Pro.
What does work properly is if I simply drag a selected clip (in/out) from the Source Monitor in Premiere Pro to the sequence timeline, and then right click and choose "Replace with After Effects Composition".
Then I end up with an After Effects project containing:
- a composition called "MyProject Linked Comp 2" (duration: length of selected clip, and the comp's layer itself (the next comp) has the correct duration, so I see the selected clip!)
- another composition called "My SourceVideo" (duration: length of full original video, starting at beginning of original video footage, not at start of subclip),
- and then the full original video file also called "My SourceVideo" (and I mean the full original video file that the selected clip points to). This is full length.
In this case the linked Composition is therefore viewed as being the selected clip in After Effects, and is returned as such in Premiere Pro.
So subclips don't work as I would expect them. I have also tried with a few different video formats. Can anyone else reproduce this behaviour, or even better, find a way to make it work?
I am running Windows Vista x64 Ultimate, 8GB ram, CS4
Message was edited by: bobbymacadobe - added system info

I had the same issue. Created multiple subclips from various parts of a master, mixed subclips on the timeline (all from the same master clip) and when I replace it with an AE comp is send it over with 1 subclip only (eg I had clips for showroom and warehouse, it only send showroom) so any refences to the clips it didn't send were blank!
So I had to replace all the clips with the master clip (I would like to know if there is a quick way to revert subclips back to master, had to do it manually and it was a pain) and now it is working fine. This doesn't mean subclips don't work; if all the clips are derived from the same subclip it worked for me.

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download). To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu. Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

IPhone original doesn't work with Belkin TuneBase FM after 2.0.1 update

iPhone original doesn't work with Belkin TuneBase FM after 2.0.1 update

Firstly, XE 10.2.0.1 isn't the same as 10gR2 10.2.0.1
It was released a bit later and had some fixes that were in later 10.2.0.x patchsets (and also had some different security settings). Maybe they should have gone with 10.2.1.1.
Second, the embedded PL/SQL gateway was okay for XE, but isn't supported for Apex on the Standard/Enterprise Edition until 11g. It doesn't mean it never works, but it does mean that you shouldn't rely on it.
That said, there are other issues with 10.2.0.1 so I'd recommend going for the latest patchset anyway.
Thirdly, if you get the XDB login dialog box, something has gone wrong. For the embedded PL/SQL gateway, XDB is acting as a virtual webserver. Generally what should happen is you connect to the webserver (XDB) and request a page (the APEX login page) and XDB should give it to you, no questions asked.
If it asks you to login then the XDB webserver is running but is trying to get authorisation before it gives you the page. [By the way, if it does prompt for a username/password, it is expecting a database username/password, not an apex one or an O/S one] I'd suspect something is wrong with the setup.
What happens if you ask for a simple image like

HI Emmet,
thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
i hope that helps anyone out there also!
Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.
Thanks again, much appreciated.

Firefox 31, using phpmyadmin on a webserver, the login times out after about a minute. Didn't occur with v30, doesn't occur with Chrome.

Just upgraded firefox from 30 to 31. Using phpmyadmin on a webserver, (this is running under Plesk), after a short time, typically 1 minute, I get a pop-up that the session has expired and I have to log in again. This didn't happen with v30 and it isn't happening with Chrome. It doesn't happen with the Plesk control panel, just the phpmyadmin session. It looks like a problem caused by the latest version of firefox.

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
