Stopping pdf slideshows from auto-advancing.

Is it possible to stop the PDF slideshow exports from LR from automatically advancing? I want it to remain on the slides until I hit the cursor button (like I can do from within LR.) My pdf slideshows, however, keep auto-advancing. I can get it to advance FASTER in either direction by hitting the cursor buttons, but I can't "stop" it from auto-advancing completely, which is what I want.
The LR slideshow export page says that "Adobe Acrobat transitions use a fixed speed," but I thought that this meant that you couldn't change the speed of the transition itself. Can you also not change the "rate of advancing" to the next slide? As I said, I want to make it NEVER advance until I tell it to, but I can't figure out how to do this.
Thanks,
Larry

>Here is the trick (Adobe Reader 8, Macintosh). Go to Preferences, Full Screen. Make sure the "Advance every xxx seconds" box is checked, and that xxx is set to a number of seconds equal to or greater than the slide duration you specified in Lightroom. (If greater than, the Lightroom setting will prevail.)
>
>If it is unchecked, no auto advance whatsoever.
Forgive me, but this is really confusing me. You said to make sure the "Advance every xxx seconds" box in Reader is checked, but then you said that if it's UNchecked, there will no auto advance. The way I'm reading this, these two statements contradict each other. Which way do you set it to stop the auto advance?
You also said to make sure the xxx number in Reader is set to a number of seconds equal or greater to the LR setting, but than you said that if it's "greater than," LR's setting will prevail. If the LR setting prevails, how is this preventing auto advance? By saying to set it to "equal or greater than" the LR value, it seems like you're saying that you'll get a certain behavior for BOTH cases (i.e. both 'equal' AND 'greater than' will result in a certain behavior.) What specific aspect of the behavior are you referring to when you say to set it "equal or greater than" the LR value?
Thanks for clarification on this,
Larry

If you are using Safari, look at Safari > Preferences > General and make sure 'Open "safe" files after downloading' is not checked. Other browsers should have a similar setting in their preferences.

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

Anyone know how to stop the slideshow from looping?

Does anyone know which file to edit in order to stop the slideshow from looping? Where the code would be or, what code to add.
I am not aware of a setting from within iweb itself.
I assumed it was the slideshow.js file but I didn't find anything in there.
Such as a loop "true"
HELP

That worked great.
I assume what we are doing is copying and editing the
.mac slideshow file,
and then pointing to it's location in the folder. How
Yes, that's exactly it.
did you know what the code would be? I guess you must
be very Java savy, because it definetly wasn't an
obvious one.
It took me two days to reverse engineered dot mac slideshow
Is there a way to get the slideshow window to close
after it's finished? What I get is a freeze frame on
the last photo of the show.
I know you gonna ask that yes, change the added line in slideshow.js to this:
if (count == ((imgs.length) - 1)) { this.pause(); setTimeout("window.close()", 5000); }; // close window after 5 sec, change 5000 to whatever you like.

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

It should be my choice, not apples.
And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

Stopping 2nd computer from auto updating

I basically understand manual update vs. auto update and have already read how to set up a new account to prevent auto update, etc. Things are good: I'm set at auto update, and if I plug the iPod into a 'foreign' computer it does give a warning instead of auto updating. That's exactly what is wanted.
But here's my problem. I have two computers and I do want it to update from the one, and issue the warning from the other. But somehow neither of the primary accounts on my computer and my wife's computer is recognized as 'foreign' though they are different computers, different user names, etc. Plug the iPod into mine and it updates, losing all my wife's files and vice versa. I'd like just one computer and one account to "own" this iPod, but two do. How can I remove the permission from one of them? Thanks.

I'm not sure if this will help as it refers to iTunes 4 but you can have a look at it: Both of your computers think they "own" your iPod
However, there is a keyboard command you can use to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, (on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go.

How do I stop Full Screen Mode from auto advancing?

I am attempting to show a PDF slide show in Full Screen Mode. The slides autoadvance and I can't find out how to stop it. I went to Preferences and made sure that the box with the faded 5 sec was not checked for auto advance but the program still advances. Any help?

I can't get either Acrobat 9 Pro or Reader X to do this and I tried with several PDFs. Unchecked, nothing advances automatically. Maybe someone else has some insite.

Slideshow's Auto Advance

Is there a way to defeat the auto advance in slideshow, that is, causing the slide duration to be infinite?
If not, is there a way to pause the slideshow when it is running in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, then restart it later from where it was paused?
Thanks,
Lanny T.

Not without a lot more details on what you've done.

Pdf slideshow from PS CS4 - not bridge/output!

Does anyone know if I can get it back in the automate settings, perhaps as a legacy function?
I've just downloaded the PS CS4 and LR2 trials (and using the beta LR2.2 and beta ACR) as my PS CS2 and old raw plugin don't open my new cameras images.
imho I don't think they've really thought it through from a workflow pov, I provide both contacts and a pdf slideshow to my clients. If I use the bridge/output method for both on every job - and all the swapping over of the options that entails I will be smacking my head off the nearest wall after a couple of days.
The bridge/output also limits my choices severely - I thought the idea of upgrading was to IMPROVE functionality......... I'm not usually a grumbler, but I'm about to pay an upgrade price of nearly a grand (in £'s - not $!) essentially for a lovely raw plugin and nice LR2 web galleries - it's not looking like a particularly good deal :-(
I've found the "PS CS4 goodie" folder on the adobe site and installed the contact sheet II option into the automate area - it's just not practical for me to have a set of contacts in pdf format, it's definitely a step backwards for me.
I'd hoped for an improvement, with options to include a title, date etc - but nope.
I'm also not happy with the pdf slideshow in bridge/output - I miss the compression options, I often need to keep them small on the file front - whilst keeping the screen looking good (150ppi compression works well) - which I don't have the ability to do this in cs4, constraining to screen size choices with a "high" or "low" option is useless to me. I just don't get it - this is pro software - with a pro price - is it too much to ask for more pro workflow considerations? Come on Adobe, play the game......
Apologies for the rambling rant and general grumpiness - all help & suggestions very much appreciated :-)

I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

How do I stop iPhone Mail from auto-downloading photos/videos?

My sister has had her twins. We cheered. Now she sends out 20 to 30mb of photos and videos via email every other day. The cheering has stopped.
I have a minimal data plan that has served me well for several years. Now with my sister's constant emailing of attachments, my data plan is in jeopardy within a week of the start of the new month. Unfortunately, the email address also receives emails that I do want to see while out and about on Mobile. So deleting the account isn't an option. She is also a new mother and refuses to not send out kiddo pics.
Is there a way to stop the auto-download of pictures/videos, but receive the body of text in the email from her? Then I'd know I have pictures waiting for me at home, but I'd have to wait.

There is no such option/setting on an iPhone to determine this. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.
Tell her you're gonna leave her out of the Will if she doesn't stop .

How do I stop my iPhone from auto-syncing...?!?!

First off, I realise this is to do with my iPhone, but I feel it's definitely an iTunes problem.
Secondly, excuse the multiple question-marks and exclamation-marks in the title, but my frustration know no bounds on this, because I am seemingly doing everything correctly, yet still iTunes persists in tormenting me.
And now, the problem:
I have my iPhone set to NOT automatically sync when I plug it in. The checkbox is unchecked. In fact, I have even gone one step further and checked the box in the Preferences which says "Disable automatic syncing" so that when I plug my iPhone in and it shows up in iTunes, the option in the main window to "Automatically sync" is actually greyed out.
However, every time without fail, when I plug my iPhone into my computer and iTunes is running, the screen on my iPhone will change to the standard syncing screen, saying "Sync in progress. Slide to cancel", etc.
But if I leave it like that and look in my iTunes window, nothing is happening. Nothing's syncing. But the screen on my phone says it is. And I can't do anything with it, so I have to do the "slide to cancel" process to get my phone screen back.
However, when I then launch the iPod app on the iPhone and try to access my music, I'm greeted with a message which says either "Cancelling sync" (which is bizarre because I cancelled it already and opened my iPod app, right?) or "Updating library - this may take a few minutes"...
And I wait and wait and wait, and the message stays there, and I can't access my music.
The only way to regain access to my music is to either unplug my iPhone from the computer, or to just go ahead and do a sync via iTunes, and then wait for it to complete a genuine sync, rather than this phantom sync.
I like to listen to my music while I'm at my computer not through iTunes on my computer but through my iPhone instead, and I like to have it plugged in to keep the battery charged.
So, as you might imagine, it gets a little frustrating because every time I plug it in, I can't listen to my music!!
I have to sync my phone quite unnecessarily in order to do so, and it's frustratingly annoying, especially considering I have deliberately unchecked the options which would normally do this process.
And if I'm already in the process of listening to some music when I decide to plug my iPhone in to top the battery up, then it's even more annoying, because my music stops playing and I "lose my place" as it were, and after the sync is done, I have to go back and find the music I was listening to, and find the song, etc.
Any help anyone? I've checked boxes, unchecked boxes, deleted prefs, re-started, etc. All to no avail.
I'm running the latest iPhone OS 3.0 on an iPhone 3GS, and using iTunes 8.2 under Mac OS X 10.5.6.

Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
+"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

How do I make a PDF Slideshow from Bridge CS4 with 500 images?

Every year I go for an extended photo shooting trip. I use about 400 to 600 of the images to make a PDF slide show. This worked fine in all previous versions of Bridge, but no longer works properly in Bridge CS4. I can create PDF files with up to 329 images, but when I try to make a PDF file with more than that, the PDF file is corrupted. Sometimes, the PDF file opens, but about 10% of the image at random location are corrupted, and their thumbnails show up as white or black patches. At other times, the file does not open in Adobe Reader. I get a variety of error messages. The most common is #109.
Just to be certain it is not caused by my images, I used 550 images I had used to make a PDF show last year with Bridge CS3. I get the same problem. The slide show created last year with 550 images in Bridge CS3 still works in Adobe Reader, ruling out the Reader a being the cause of the problem. It appears that some bug has crept into the CS4 Bridge code.
Unfortunately, a while ago a deleted CS3 from my hard drives without making a copy of the downloaded dmg of CS3, so I can no longer re-install CS3. BTW, other than this bug, I am very happy with CS4. As a photographer, I find the improvements made in CS4 ACR stunning.
Is there a known work-around for this bug?
Is it likely to be fixed in an upcoming update?
Is there a way I can download a copy of CS3 allowing me to install CS3 Bridge, or, if needed, the whole CS3 suite?
(I still have a record of my CS3 registration code.)

How do I stop pdf viewer from printing 4 pages per page?

When I print a file off pdf viewer in firefox, my printout comes out 4 pages per page, even though I check advanced settings and verify that it is set to 1 page per page. I do not know where else I can look to correct this problem.

HI nmrdata,
It may be that Firefox printer settings need to be reset. Please see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]].
If you have any questions on how to open the about:config page please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
