T420 hanging when inserting audio in powerpoint 2010

When inserting any audio clip on a T420 Thinkpad in Powerpoint 2010 , the computer will take a long time to insert the file. This same process on a T420s it does the same, and if I do the same process on a Lenovo Thinkpad X200 it takes five seconds. Any Ideas

Hi johnbrae
I encountered some problems with Microsoft Office 2010 before, even uninstall and reinstalling it does not work. It could be caused by misconfigurations in Windows, etc. I have some of the functions not workable or crash in Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
This works for my case, maybe you could try:
(Windows 7)
Go to Control Panel, Internet Options, under Browser Settings, click Settings.
Check whether the Current Location is correct: (# is your OS drives) ("" is your username)
#:\Users\""\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Temporary Internet Files.
I am unsure, from what I test out, some program would not work properly if the Temporary Internet Files location is changed.
Cheers

RH7 & Captivate 3 - Hang when inserting demo in RH

Any idea why RH7 hangs when inserting a demo, while Captivate
3 is open? I have the communication suite and thought this was to
be integrated... not really if you can only have 1 app open and
fucntioning correctly at a time..

It's not the fact Cap 3 is open. It's the fact you are
inserting the output from a project in Cap 3 where the project is
still loaded up. In Cap 3, try closing the project (not the app,
just the project) and the hang should go away.
You may also wish to report the behavior you expect to see to
Adobe. You do that via the Wish Form.

Insert SWF into PowerPoint 2010?

When I wanted to insert a SWF into a PowerPoint 2007 presentation, I would use the More Controls dialog in PowerPoint's Developer tab to insert a Shockwave/Flash object. But in PowerPoint 2010, that control is missing from the dialog. Where did it go? When I click the Register Custom DLL, there's no obvious file to choose, either.
Has anyone else run into this? I'm not looking for a way to convert a SWF into a video that can be embedded or using a 3rd-party plug-in or anything like that. I know how to do those things. I'm specifically looking to insert a SWF using only what's built into PowerPoint and Flash, so if anyone has info on it, please let me know!

I have installed PowerPoint 2010 beta release on my machine. I was able to attach a SWF file to the presentation successfully. All options to insert a video are located on the Insert tab, in the Media group. Please refer to the link below on how to insert a flash movie to the presentation.

Snow Leopard hangs when inserting headphones

Hi,
For the last few weeks I've noticed that Snow Leopard hangs when I insert my headphones (iPhone 3G headphones) into the jack, sometimes with a beachball. It also causes the volume controls to be unresponsive for a few seconds. I'm not sure if this has been happening since 10.6.0 but it has definitely been an issue for me since 10.6.1.
Has anyone else experienced this issue - or know of a fix.
Thanks

Logic Pro 9 hangs when scanning Audio Units

Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues with Logic Pro, it's being run for the first time after a rebuild but it seems to just hang when trying to scan for audio units. I get this message:
+"Logic Pro will now test 40 installed Audio Unit plug-ins to maximize system stability. This AU validation can take some time. Subsequent launches of Logic Pro do not require this test and will be much faster."+
I then get a progress bar and a "Scanning Audio Units (finalized 0 of 40)" box with an abort option. The abort option doesn't do anything but I can still quit Logic using the cmd+Q shortcut.
So far I've tried -
1.) Booting into Logic without Core Audio and opening AU manager. It starts up but for some reason the manager simply refuses to open. I click on it and nothing happens.
2.) Deleted the com.apple.audiounits.cache in my ~/Library/Caches/ folder.
3.) Updated Logic to the latest version (9.1.3, was on 9.0.0)
4.) Removed all my NI Komplete 7 components from the /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components folder. This simply made Logic think there were only 22 AUs to scan instead of 40, but it still wouldn't do anything.
Oh and if it makes any difference I'm running a Mac Pro (2 x 2.8 Quad Xeons, 4GB RAM, OS 10.5.8)
Any ideas as to why Logic is hanging like this?
Cheers, Dan

Thanks for the reply.
Logic 9 can actually be either 64 or 32 bit depending on what you want to run it as (or which OS you have in this case.) I checked mine and it is definitely running in 32-bit mode, so there shouldn't be any conflicts on that side of things. See here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3989
Plus, it has perviously worked with this OS version and on this very machine in fact, which is why it's so puzzling.

Microsoft Word Hangs When Opening Document From SharePoint 2010 Document Library

I am running into an issue where Word hangs when opening certain files from a document library. When the issue occurs, Word opens and hangs at the Downloading <Doc URL> stage. I have tried disabling the SharePoint plugins in IE and that
makes no difference. I can download a local copy of the file and open in just fine. The file in questions exists in a separate document library where it can be opened just fine (The file was copied to the library where the issue is occurring by
a Workflow). The issue also has only occurred on .docx files and not .doc, however, not all docx files are having the issue.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that when you opened a certain files from a document library, it hanged at the downloading stage.
I tried to reproduce the issue, after coping by a workflow, the .docx files opened well in my environment.
Did the issue occur in other documents libraries? You can copy the files to a new documents library by workflow, then check whether it works.
For more details we also can check the SharePoint ULS logs.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
Have you check your IE settings (Tools->options->connections->LAN settings->uncheck Automatically detect settings).
Please also use fidder tools to detect the process. You can download it by the following link.

Best practice when it comes to inserting audio for powerpoint slides

I'm creating a mixture of PowerPoint slides with animation and software simulation projects from captivate.
Currently I have developed the audio files associated with the animation objects for the PowerPoint slide. My question
Should I insert the audio files into PowerPoint and edit the timing of the animation based on the duration of the audio. I have been playing around with the editing and too be honest, I'm getting a tad frustrated trying to conduct the timing.
or
Should I insert the audio via Captivate after importing the PowerPoint slides?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
AJ

In the Library all audio clips will be stored. Either from the Library or using the Audio Management panel, you can edit the audio clips directly in Audition (part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, one of the best audio applications available) and when saving they are automatically edited in Captivate as well. Same work flow exists with Photoshop: you can edit a source Photoshop file, where Captivate will keep the wanted layers as separate images in the Library, and you can edit them from Captivate right away in Photoshop. The integration of Captivate with other Adobe applications is unique in the eLearning tools.

Unable to Insert PDF to Powerpoint 2010 getting error

Hi,
I am getting this error "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error.
You may need to reinstall the server application" when I am trying to insert an PDF file into Powerpoint slide I am using this method to insert the pdf file => from INSERT menu=>OBJECT=>Create from file. I have unchecked the protected mode at
start up from security settings of adobe reader (I am using ver 11.0.0.9) and other suggested troubleshooting but no luck so far please help me out of this problem.
I have done the following troubleshooting so far with no luck,as the problem persist:-
1)Reinstall the Adobe reader 11.0.0.9
2)repair the office 2010 64 bit
3)removed the Adobe reader 11.0.0.9 ver and tried the same for ver 9 and ver 10
4) unchecked the protected mode at start up from security settings of adobe reader
5)Clean boot method is also of no use as I tried it also.
Microsoft really needs to take note of it as it seems to be a bug in 64 bit office

Hi Swapnil,
It's a common issue when you try to embed an object in your presentation. In most cases, the reason is because Adobe Reader X has a new Protected mode, and usually, disable that protected mode will fix the issue.
For your case, I'd suggest you try to re-register the Component Object Model provider,
OLE32.dll and see if it helps:
Just type: regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\ole32.dll in the CMD window, and then press
Enter. Click OK.
Hope it helps.

Error message when inserting audio

Hi, when I try to insert a portion of an audio to my timeline, I keep getting this error and then Premiere crashes. Is there a way that I can avoid this because I don't know why it's happening.

The details are as follows:
Type: Windows WAVE audio file
File Size: 2.1 MB
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:12:27856
I also converted the sound file to mp3 but the samething happened.
I am using CS6 by the way.

Wasapi: IAudioClient- Initialize() hanging when opening audio capture device

I'm trying to open the capture/input audio device. I call ActivateAudioInterfaceAsync() , then when I call IAudioClient->Initialize() on the capture device, the app hangs, supposedly because for some reason it's trying to display the 'Allow app to
use the mic?' prompt.
The hang _doesn't_ occur if I manually set the app permission to use the mic (i.e. launch the app without having it open the audio devices, open the permission tile, activate the mic permission).
Calls to ActivateAudioInterfaceAsync and IAudioClient->Initialize() are made from the UI thread (the one that receives callbacks for buttons, which on Metro style apps seems to be different from the thread that starts the application, i.e. WinMain).
What am I doing wrong?
I've attached the stack that shows the app hung below.
Thanks,
Flavio.

Powerpoint crashes when adding audio to powerpoint 2007

Hello. I am running a 64 bit Windows Vista machine, 2007 version of Powerpoint, and the latest licensed version 7.0.7 of Presenter. Each time I try to add audio to a slide the system asks me to check my audio, then crashes, losing all unsaved files. I have reinstalled several times, rebooted, used both new and old ppt files, and have deleted Temp files on my computer. Nothing works. I have spent hours trying to troubleshoot this issue. Do you have any other ideas of why this is happening and what to try?
J.

Sounds like some sort of system specific audio driver conflict. Have you checked to make sure your audio card drivers are the most up to date? Have you considered moving to Windows 7 which is massively more secure and better performing? I use a Mac but even I would try to move off Vista as quickly as I could knowing all the issues with Vista. I think it would be worth your trouble just upgrading to Windows 7. I'm not being critical so please don't take it that way but it's well known that Vista was pretty problematic from the start in so many ways that many people quickly upgraded to Win7 or waited and stayed on XP because of the Vista problems.
If you cannot move to Win7 then as a troubleshooting measure try another PC and see if you have the issue there. Another option would be to try using VMWare and load up another OS like XP and see if you get the same issue. It's really a matter of isolating the problem on this PC.
Good luck.

Is there a limit to how big the video file can be, storage size or pixel size, when inserting in a powerpoint?

When I add a video file to a ppt file using adobe presenter 9 it will now work when it reaches that slide. the video will start but at about 30 seconds in it will tear to green. Sometimes it will return and sometimes it will just stop after that. When it comes back it will continue until about 40-45 seconds in then on a fade to black it will not play anymore. The slider will continue as if it is playing but no output is seen on the screen.
The video file in question is 165MB, 1920 x1080 pixels MP4
If I convert it to smaller, 65MB, 1080 x 608 MP4 file everything works with no issue.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Things I have checked:
Adobe updated
Office Updated
Windows Updated
Drivers updated
64 bit consistency
Source file validation
Rebooted computer
Flash installed
Flash trust enabled

Do you notice a quality difference when playing the two videos in Presenter? I'm not a fan of HD video in Presenter, mainly because of the reduced screen real estate that is available for video. I find that around 720 X 480 usually works just fine, and keeps the file bloat down (as you have seen just in your change you lost 100 MB). I don't believe there is a limitation on what you can place in Presenter, but it may be a matter of what can be delivered effectively. There may also be something odd in the encoding of the 1080 version of your video. If you re-encode it at the same resolution, with the settings of the lesser resolution video, does it play back as expected?

Upload Center 2010 error when saving Powerpoint 2010 file to SharePoint 2013

I'm experiencing an issue when attempting to save a Powerpoint 2010 file to our SharePoint 2013 farm. If a user opens the file in Edit mode, when saving the file Upload Center 2010 complains the upload failed, and PowerPoint 2010 displays a message
"Upload Failed The server version of this file was updated by another author" and 2 buttons are displayed "Keep My Version" and "Keep Server Version". This is incorrect though, because I confirmed on the server end
the changes have been made. If a user keeps hitting save, sometimes it won't fail during the upload.
If a user opens a file in Read Only mode, then clicks on the Edit button in Powerpoint 2010 and saves the changes, they are then prompted by the error "Refresh Required This file needs to be refreshed with updates. Click Save to refresh
and retry uploading your changes." Once again this is incorrect, as the changes have already been made in SharePoint.
I've recreated this error on multiple workstations, have tried re-installing Upload Center 2010, and have tried complete repairs of Office 2010. The occur continues to persist. This only occurs with Powerpoint 2010 though, and none of the other
Office 2010 products. I feel this is a bug in Upload Center 2010 with SharePoint 2013, because when I save from PowerPoint 2010 through a WebDAV connection over file explorer, it saves fine without any issue.
Has anyone run into this problem before? Below are some screenshots of the errors.
Here's the error when opening in Edit mode:
Here's the error when opening in Read Only mode, and then clicking on Edit in PowerPoint:
