Projects first created in Windows are now not publishing correctly from a Mac
I've been using the Windows version of Captivate for months without issues, putting together a large number of HTML5 courses, non-responsive. Lots of custom javascript via the 'Execute JavaScript' action for smartshapes, etc.
I just purchased a new Macbook Pro and then purchased a subscription license for Captivate. Now my cptx files that were working fine when opened and published from Windows Cp are very not publishing correctly - the javascript does not execute, etc. Everything *appears* fine within Captivate but I get issues upon preview/publish.
Thank goodness I have the 30 days to cancel the subscription and get a refund...but before I do that - has anyone else tried switching to a Mac and run into problems with Captivate projects?
Both machines have 8.01 installed. The only thing I can think of is, after installing 8.0 via the subscription download, I then did the 'Check for updates' and it went and downloaded and installed the 8.01 update. When I did this on Windows I followed the directions on a blog post somewhere (sorry - I forget the name!) that stressed deleting some directories on the machine first before running the update. I assumed the subscription files would be fixed/patched....
After struggling with this last night I took a look again this morning and narrowed down and corrected the problem. Basically, this is what happened to cause the issue and how I resolved it. Hopefully it helps others in the future.
Steps
Create project in Windows version of Cp (I was using version 8.01).
For my client's requirements, which are quite unique and complex compared to the typical Cp project, custom quiz questions/scoring had to be developed. Since these are HTML5 (non-responsive) courses, and Javascript is the fastest/most efficient way to do this, I used Javascript extensively for quizzes via the 'Execute Javascript' action. So for quiz questions, each answer is simply a smartshape (transparent, with answer text in it) that triggers the 'Execute Javascript' on click. In addition, on many of the quiz slides there are Edge Animate/HTML5 interactions embedded.
Worked fine on windows upon publish. But when I opened on a new Mac and published, when a question answer was clicked nothing would happen.
Turns out the problem seems to be with the text in the Javascript window. I think it somehow gets corrupted, though it looks fine. I had to literally delete the javascript, save it, and then copy it back in. Once I did that, it works.
I've invested too much time in this project so far, so don't want to risk any more major issues popping up like this, so I switched back to Windows and canceled my subscription this morning. Fortunately I have a license from my employer for Windows and will just use that with Boot Camp.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.Hi, Lincoln,
A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when. -
The Windows Installer does not permit installation from a RDP connection.

It looks like the installation files are being shared over a terminal services connection (based on what you are saying, I'm guessing you're using Hyper-v and it's using TS to present the files). I always run into mixed results when I run installs from
a path not local to the server. Can you copy the install paths locally and rerun setup?

Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug) I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years. I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

don't know how I even got osx..I was on apple..now on icloud..don't want iclould cause my mail it Not going on AOL..messages(icloud messages only) are not delivered and in green not blue...address book messed up to...please help to get my phone back the way it was...want aol. mail n not iclound can't seem to change it......Camille
Let me take your side here. Call verizon billing and tell them you are cancelling the phone and service since you have not received it from Fedex. Verizon requires you to sign for their shipments from Fedex. The carrier then tries three delivery attempts and then sends the package back to verizon.
If you paid by credit card call up and dispute the charge, since your 14 days of previewing has not technically started as to return it within that time frame, just cancel the whole order. Make sure Verizon does not try to bill you .
Dispute, dispute and dispute.
You could have went into a verizon store and got your phone imediately instead of being shipped.
A lost or stolen phone not signed for by you or authorized person is verizons problem and not yours. You don't owe verizon for service not provided or the phone that was not delivered. Call your bank or credit card company and have them remove the charge. -
Files Are Not Transferring Correctly from Captivate 4 to 5
My files from Captivate 4 are not transferring correctly into Captivate 5. The images and quiz questions are not in the same place. Help!
This is a bug.
We all have it.
Keep CP4 for the old courses, and develop new ones in CP5. That is what I am doing.
Alternative is to manually adjust everything (don't even get me started on rollovers...)

Windowed CLOCK does not update correctly
My floating desktop clock [digital with date] is one hour earlier than it should be and will not update correctly on startup. The time shown is correct if I switch to the menubar version, as is the time in the time update slot on the Time & Date tab in Preferences. But the analog clock below the time update slot shows one hour earlier also. Am not sure how long this has been a problem since I haven't traveled to a different timezone in two months. At this stage in the lifecycle of Tiger, these kinds of petty annoyances should NOT be occurring as new issues.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Go to System Preferences>International>Formats>Times
and explore the Customize...features.
Since you are new to Apple Discussions, you may not
have noticed that there is a Tiger Forum. If my
suggestion is unproductive, you may want to repost
your question in the Tiger Forums: Finder, Dock & Dashboard.
;~)
Thanks for the info but the answer does not lie in International. It's a bug in my clock and apparently only for EDT for some cities, like New York NY (my closest city for the summer). When I switch to Ottawa Canada IN THE SAME TIME ZONE everything is OK. Weirdski.
