Slides with graphics slow to display

In CP7 I have multiple choice questions slides with graphics in it, when I move to the next slide there is a hesitation of several seconds before the next slide is displayed. On slides with NO graphics the next slide is displayed almost instantaneously. Any help?

It could be the quiz timeline that is causing the delay.
Quiz slides pause on enter, once you 'click anywhere or press y to continue' (after feedback caption if you have one) captivate unpauses the slide and contunues playing the timeline, then changes slide.
Example:
If the quiz slide length is 10 seconds and is set to pause at 2secs, and your image is displayed for 10 secs in your timeline, when you 'click or press y to continue', captivate will play the remaining 8 seconds and then change slide.
So make sure that your quiz slide pause, and your image is the same length. (or alternatively set the slide to something like 3 secs and make sure you set to pause after 2.9 secs, that way it will change straight away once you click to continue)
E.g. make sure its like this:

Posting lots of slides with video slow playback to a halt

In our slide of about 50 slides, when we have one video slide, it plays ok, but each slide we add after, makes the captivate play slower and slower. In this case, we have about a dozen slides with video, and with all video slides in, the playback is not useable. Video is set to progressive video download and are only a few meg in size
How can we handles several slides with video?
Thanks

This sounds like a bandwidth issue.
Do you encounter the same slow playback issue if you publish the course to your local PC and play the course from your hard drive? If not, the issue isn't likely CPU-related.
If local playback is also slow, your CPU/RAM resources might be unable to keep up with decoding your video at it's current compression or size. You might need to use smaller, lighter video.
If you want to see whether or not your issue is related to bandwidth limitations, download the Charles web debugging proxy software (http://www.charlesproxy.com/download/) and use this to watch the actual downloads in progress for the videos in your course. If you see that Captivate is downloading more than one video at a time, this might explain why things start to bog down. You might need to restructure your course so that each video is downloaded separately as the user comes to it. At worst, tThis could require breaking your course into more modules.

Slow performance displaying mails with attachments

Hi
I have the following configuration:
- Windows XP (SP2)
- Oracle Connector for Outlook version 10.1.3.0.2
- Outlook 2003 (SP2)
The problem I have is it is extremely slow when displaying messages that contain attachments even when I am in offline mode.
When connected I watch the network connection and there seems to be little activity, but it takes 30-40 seconds to display messages.
Any ideas what could be wrong with my configuration?
Derek

I eventually tracked down the source of the slow performance. Nothing to do with the Oracle Connector for Outlook.
There was a Norton Anit-Virus Add-In (SAVCORP90) that was causing the issue. When I disabled it the message display performance returned to normal.

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
Thanks,
Kevin

I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

How can I export a graphic slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote?

I export a title slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote to my desktop and it plays fine with audio. Once I insert or drag the clip into iWeb the resolution is degraded and very choppy. The resolution is 320x200 and I'm exporting from Keynote as a custom size (320x200) Frame rate: 29.97 Key Frames: Automatic Key Reordering is checked Data Rate: Automatic Quality: Multi pass. I need some help.

how large is the video and if you publish - does it still have the same horrible quality?
you might considering exporting as flash (loads faster) and integrating that into your iweb site using post-editing: http://karreth.com/index.php/articles/iframes-iweb/

Graphic/Image not displayed with conditional formatting in Report Designer

We are facing problems with displaying an image in a conditional formatting in the Report Designer. The image itself is in the mime repository and can be displayed in the report if no conditional formatting is used. But if it is used the image doesn't appear in the report.
Backend setup: SP 8
Frontend setup: Patch 8, hotfix 2, Revision 95
Any help is highly appreciated.
Sven

Hi,
I could not reproduce your problem in internal SP8 system. Also images in rows with conditional formatting are displayed.
Do you get any errors after the execution in the portal?
Try to use exactly the same image in both rows (drag-and-drop with CTRL key pressed).
If then your problem still occurs, open a customer message. Describe your problem in detail and write technical name of the report you used.

MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display RAM Failure?

Hi there!
I just bought a new MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display on Christmas at an Apple Retail Store, and I was experiencing some lag. The lag occurred when creating simple graphical animations, like swiping to reveal Mission Control. So I took it in. The diagnostics were fine, so they said that they'd try and repair it. After a few days, I got a call and they told me that I have bad RAM. And being a computer freak, I understand that it is part of the lo-bo. Now they have to order an entirely new logic board, and I have to wait even longer.
For $1700, that was disappointing. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Well, I was told that nobody in the Apple Retail Store had seen this specific problem before. I couldn't find anything on the Internet either. I wanted to know if there was someone else who's MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display's Hynix RAM slowed down graphical performance, because it sounds odd. I am aware that defects are common, but this seems, again, particularly queer.

2010 13" MBP performance with the 27" Cinema Display

Hi. I have a 2010 13" Macbook Pro bought about a year and a half ago (my first Mac and despite the problems described below, I'm a very happy camper), with RAM upgraded to 8 GB but otherwise it's pretty much a standard issue machine, certainly still a good computer. Last summer I bought the 27" Cinema Display to go with it and I just love it. From time to time, though, I'm a bit concerned about the performance of my computer with the display. I usually use a lot of apps at a time (hence the maxed out memory) and with the display, more often than not, the computer runs a bit on the slow side, the animations are not the smoothest, the "beach ball" is oft-present, or, very prominently, there's no way flash video (such as on YouTube) plays smoothly in full screen, making it unwatchable (I often "cheat" by using the universal access zoom to magnify the video, which does the job pretty well). The fan inside the laptop usually spins audibly at the maximum RPM and the CPU temperature is usually around 70°C (rarely less, but rarely much more). None of these problems happen when I'm using it without the display, on the road. I have already given up on keeping the see-thru Zagg plastic case when at home and not traveling, to keep the computer cooler in the clamshell mode and I'd be willing to buy an external cooling system (the Moshi Zefyr 2 cooler looks really worthy) but do you think the performance degradation could be heat-related at all? I know my MBP is really the entry-level model and still has the ancient C2D CPU, only 256 MB of video memory and I shouldn't expect miracles. But I just wanted to make sure I'm doing everything right and my computer is really "supposed" to perform worse with such a large display. Thank you very much for any kind of help or advice.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Isn't it weird, though, that Apple would make the display compatible with all of their notebooks without any warning about the possible performance penalty with some of the lower end models? Why aren't they offering smaller external displays? And the MBP 7,1 is no slouch too, when this particular Cinema Display originally shipped, it was the most powerful Apple laptop after the 15" and 17" MBPs.
Oh well, it still works OK though, and I'm going to stick with this setup for at least another year or so, certianly till after the rumored MBP redesign takes place and I hope the graphics on the future machines will be powerful enough to drive large displays smoothly. It's a good thing the Cinema Display is future-proof and forward compatible with the Tunderbolt port. All in all, it's a beautiful display and will remain so for a long time.
Do you think an external cooler (such as the mensioned Zefyr 2) would help in the meantime?

How do I use Automator to duplicate a folder with graphics on my desktop and erase their Resource forks?

How do I use Automator to duplicate a folder with graphics on my desktop and erase their Resource forks?
I do not use command line and tried to use ZapResourceForksAMAub_1.2 which I downloadedand instaled the Zap Resource Forks.action. Next I tried to use their sample copy-zap-rsrc.workflow in Snow Leopardon my Mac Pro. The 3 different steps are displayed in Automator but there is no place to put in which folder (on my deskto) to copy, and remove the resource forks from the graphic files.
Can sombody please step me through this please please.

DVI KVM switch to use with iMac and Cinema Display

I currently have a 20" iMac that I use with a 20" Cinema Display. I'd like to share the Cinema display between the iMac and a Dell computer. Assuming this can be done, are there any recommendations for a DVI-KVM switch? Most important is no loss in video quality when the Cinema display is used with the iMac. The Dell is seldom used and even a straight DVI switch without mouse and keyboard sharing would be OK.
 20" Intel iMac + Cinema Display + Sony HDR-HC7 HD camera Mac OS X (10.4.8) All tools, no talent!

I am also trying to link a Mac Mini and a HP PC with an nVidia FX5500 graphics card via a KVM switch. The mini works fine but the PC does not sync up and the screen is blank and the little white light on the lower right is blinking.
Any news on your question would be appreciated

Problem running reports with graphics in 11i

Hi,
I have developed some custom reports (using
Reports 6i) with graphics charts embedded within them. I would like to display the output from within Oracle Applications 11i.
There seem to be two approaches:
1. Invoke the report from Oracle Self-Service using OracleOasis.runReport
2. Register the report as a concurrent request (with HTML/PDF output) and run it using the concurrent manager
Approach 1 requires the reports server cgi which I start using adrepctl.sh. Approach 2 requires the concurrent manager which I start using adcmctl.sh.
The problems start to occur depending on how and from where I start these scripts. The exact problem occurs in both cases.
If these scripts are started:
1. From a regular telnet window from a windows NT box
The reports error out with a REP-3000 internal toolkit error
2. From an Exceed xterm session and I keep the Exceed session alive (I tried both TrueColors and PseudoColors settings)
The reports work but there are problems with the output - pie colors do not appear (everything is white, for e.g.), etc.
3. From the Sun Solaris console
The reports work fine.
The problem is that method 3 is not very convenient since every time I bring down the concurrent manager or reports cgi server, I need to walk to a different building (where the Sun boxes are) to start it.
Method 2 above isn't particularly great either (even assuming I can get it to work) since I need to have an exceed session running all the time.
Can some one offer suggestions to solve the problem I'm having? Even clues on why method 2 above is not working as expected would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- NR

Problem solved! As long as the xhost + is set on the host machine and some one is logged in, it appears that one can simply set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the host (even from a simple telnet window) and start the reports server or concurrent manager. Looks like you also have to have REPORTS60_NO_DUMMY_PRINTER set to "YES".

Aperture messing up images with 30 inch external display.

I have a macbook pro with 128MB video ram and 4GB ram. I just purchased a 30 inch display which I am using externally and have noticed that aperture now regularly locks up and screws up images and the display. Picture here
I have aperture using the full screen and then when I start something like cropping, as I move the box around it starts to mess up the picture as per the attached image. If I then go to other pictures and come back to it, it will still be in the same state. Fortunately, if I quit the program and restart aperture, the image will be ok.
If I shrink the window back down it would appear to behave normally. I have also restored aperture to before one particularly bad lock up that brought my whole system down.
Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?

I have not experienced this exact issue but I have had issues with graphics cards/drivers and the 30" displays in the past. The cure has always been an apple update for the cases that I have experienced. That being said 128 M is a relatively small amount of VRAM for Aperture + 30" Cinema. I would expect performance issues for sure and it maybe contributing to what you are seeing.

Incredible email graphics won't display

Occasionally I get emails with graphics in the email, rather than attachments. The graphics don't display, so I have to open the email on my home PC to see them. On my Droid, I went into email/menu/more/settings/send & receive to find my 'Mail size limit' was set at 5kb, so I changed it to No limit. I forwarded the email from my PC (same ISP), however only a few of the graphics appeared, most did not. My wife has the Droid X and we share the same email account, so she also got the email. She can see all the graphics. What gives? We both have the same OS.

the graphics in my emails are always in the body of the email? i never receive them as attachments? i get many emails with graphics and they always appear in the same manner as when i pull those same emails from my pc. i just checked my settings, but can't find anywhere to change anything that may affect how your emails show up on the device? sorry.

Graphics corrupted / garbled display on Core Duo MacBook Pro (ATI)

My first-generation (Core Duo) MacBook Pro (with ATI chipset) is having video problems.
When this happens, the graphics become corrupted / display becomes garbled and the computer freezes shortly afterwards making it basically unusable. You can just about follow a garbled mouse pointer around, but it is unresponsive.
The only solution is a hard reset (power button for seven seconds).
Has anyone encountered this problem?
At first, I suspected that the computer was overheating as it seemed to occur only after prolonged use - but in the past two days, it could freeze immediately at login screen basically making it completely unusable.
Apple Hardware Test (on original CD) says "No Problems Found", but I still suspect hardware trouble as this only began occuring a week or so after my computer had the left fan replaced (it stopped working after an earlier problem in January at the Apple Store in Highcross Leicester.
I suspect something ELSE is wrong and that it requires service again, so am planning to go to the store in Birmingham on Sunday (which is closer to me -- I went to the Leicester store last time). What should I ask Apple to look at? The graphic corruption occurs even when running right off the Leopard CD, or even on the Apple Hardware Test!

Hi - thanks for your help with the issue. Just as an update, I brought my Mac in for service on the 8th February at the Apple Store Bullring – and oddly, it worked perfectly in the Store. However, I showed them this thread and the pictures they had – and they replaced the logic board and apparently it's one of the costliest parts ever possible to place, shockingly expensive that it's like the cost of a new laptop! However as it's under AppleCare (well, higher education parts and labour warranty) it was covered. Phew!
I got my Mac back today, and so far, it appears to be working perfectly (though as the graphic problems were intermittent, I'm making sure I do backups!), and fingers crossed, I should now have a working Mac once again!

Very big problem with professional Color Managed Display in PS CC and CS6 win7 64 bits

How to reproduce this problem:
- Photoshop CS6/CC
- Win 7 Ultimate 64 bits English with all the updates.
- ATI 7870 / HD 550 and early graphics cards.
- Dell U3014, CINTIQ 21UX (in the 7870), 2 samsung 2232 in the 5500 (all on, or one at the time)
- Spyder 3/4 Elite, Eyeone Display 2, DispCal (argyll), ColorEyes 1.60
After the calibration and profile process with everyone of this Display profling tools (lets supose that is all right), open a image with more saturated colors (with Adobe 1998 RGB color space) in CS6 or CC, and hit the "F" key to toggle screens.
You will see that the saturated colors will change (will become even more saturated) in the nest two screen modes, and color come back to the "normal" if hit F one more time.
Seems like the photoshop get rid of calibration luts in the 2 F screens modes and come back to normal when the image are in the initial screen mode.
ps: the loaders startups of each display calibration, was choosed one of the time when I restart the PC ( so, there are no multi loaders trying to put your luts at same time)
- PS CS6 / CC and WINDOWS are totally up to date
- The driver of display cards, are the latest AND the windows certificated
- There are no other software installed on the PC that try to handle the display card or even diferents CMS.
- In fact the Windows is a fresh install
- This happen in RGB and CMYK images.
This is very frustating..:(

Dear Lundberg, in fact I'm wrong about this happen in RGB images, only happen in CMYK (whatever CMYK)
If you have an up to date Win 7 64bit, PS CS6 or CC, and calibrate your display with any colorimeter spectrophotometer and their respective softwares. Download an image like this flowers:
http://hdw.eweb4.com/out/663221.html
Before, be sure to set in PS, this color settings attachad :
Open this file, convert to CMYK and hit the F key to toggle between screen modes.
If you have a calibrated display with, let me say, Eyeone and Coloreyes, and the videoLuts loader is on, when you hit the "F" key, the colors on the CMYK image, will become way more saturated/heavy/dense, so Hit the F key until the screen mode is "normal" the color come back to the normal too.
I test this behavior in 8 machines so far, and in all this machines, the change in the colors are very noticiable, to reach a point that I cant be used in color professional works.
I hope that now I could express my self good enough.
Regards.
