Timer widget won't synchronise with playhead

Hi there,
I have inserted the timer widget in a project to let the learner know how much time is left on an audio recording. So, say the audio is 5 minutes. the widget is set to countdown from 5 minutes etc. I want the learner to be able to stop and start the project using the playbar and obviously the countdown needs to stop as well.. However when the project is stopped like this, the timer continues to countdown even though I have set it to synchronise with the project.
Would anyone be able to help me here.
Thanks very much

Nothing that can be done with advanced actions then? Conditional action triggered by stopping and starting the slide?

HT201250 My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1

My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1
I have tried everything, even buy new external disk from different manufacture.
If I cant get a fix soon, I am downgrading back to SnowL.

Still no luck. I tried all the tricks, reconfiguring TM (remove selected disk option, and re-setting it, and trying different disks). Tried new combo updater, and the newer TM update after that. Tired two different disks too (one is my older firewire WD MyBook 1TB, and my brand new 3tb Seagate GoFlex USB... either one plugged into back of computer - no intermediary devices). I did get the TM buddy wiget and it produced the following log, from the last attempt, where I setup lots of exclusions so that backup quantity was small (under 10gb). Still it failed to complete. Here is that log, for what it is worth:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TM-Disk/Backups.backupdb
9.56 GB required (including padding), 911.15 GB available
Waiting for index to be ready (101)
Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Mac HD.
Backup canceled.
To prove a point, I will take these disks are run them on my other Tiger and Snow Leopard laptops to prove TM works fine on those with these disks. But I fear the only options are to either have my tech re-install LION... or just have him reinstall SL instead. Im at wits end.

Notes from my iPad won't synchronise with my iPhone and my iCloud portal, Why?

I use icloud on all my IOS device and on my icloud portal from every computer I work with.
All apps I see on the iCloud portal are very useful. I have begin to work with them and they are very useful because it is suppose to synchronise with my iPhone and my iPad as well. All exept for the Notes app. The information I wrote in stopped to synchronise a few months ago, I use to have the same information everywhere but now some information I wrote on my iPad are not synchro with my iPhone and my "iPortal".
Is there a way to force the synchronisation between all iCloud devices and portal?
Where is the button?

I have solved my problem...
Thanks anyway

Time Machine won't work with Time Capsule

HI all
I have been using TM to backup to an Iomega portable drive but because the drive is relatively small and because I thought that having less wires around the place would be a good thing, I bought Time Capsule. However when I try to backup to TC I get one and/or two error messages. The first is that backup failed because TM couldn't create a directory. The second is that backup failed because TM couldn't write the files. When the first message occurs it's during the 'preparing backup' phase. The second happens with about 200mb copied.
Does anyone know why I would get this message using TC but not using the Iomega drive. I changed the disk in TM and it is backing up to the Iomega drive. However....there is an issue here too. When I go into TM and look for user files I can only see a 'shared' user file and not my own user file. This is making me believe that I'm not really backing up anything at all!
I called Apple and they suggest an archive and reinstall. As I don't have enough free space to do this I have to delete files (either iphoto or itunes). Until I checked the Iomega drive to ensure that all my files were on it I was happily prepared to do this. Now I'm not sure I can restore my files from the Iomega drive if I delete them from my Mac. I can, of course, just copy the itunes and iphoto folders to TC independently of the backup but I am very confused about the potential problems with TC and what the Iomega drive holds as a backup too.
So before I do anything I'd appreciate if people had any thoughts.
thanks
WG

You have made no mention of how Time Capsule is connected. For the initial backup, you should be connected using an ethernet connection. It would be a fresh, new backup. Did your setup of TC go smoothly? I assume the network is all setup and that the TC disk sharing is enabled.

Time Machine won't work with mountain lion

Since upgrading my MacBook to Mountain Lion the Time Machine back up does not work
The MacBook sees the TM and if I ask it to back up it "prepares the backup" but then after a while nothing happens. The last recorded back up is before the update.
We have an Apple Time Machine on our network and it's network cable enabbled and still works with our MacMini which has also been upgraded.
I have tried to create a new back up and that hasn't worked either.
My MacBook has been rebooted etc but still no success.
How can I get this to work again?

@Brian:
I think I have the same issue

What's your MBP version?
Could you check if you still have a drop in your transmission speed? (as I shown in my thread)
thx

N95 won't synchronise with outlook - "Waiting for ...

Just set up my N95. PC Suite seems to have installed ok, connectivity seems to be ok - at least, I can copy files across, but when I try and synchronise I get the message "waiting for N95". I've cleared and reset my settings as per advice in an earlier post, made sure the settings are pointing to the right files and tried it all again. Still no synchronisation. What do I need to do?

Hi hjuk
If you look at Paragraph 43 of FAQ to Nokia Software Updater, you are advised to reset device after updating software, although your issue appears to be solved:

Time machine won't work with LaCie blade runner

I have a 2009 iMac and I just received my LaCie Blade Runner hard drive. I tried using it for time machine but it got to 2.46GB and then I just stop. I waited for an hour but nothing happened so I stopped it and tried again this time it got to 789.9MB and stopped. At this point I thought it might have been the formatting so I used disk utility to format it to journaled, encrypted and tried again, this time it only got to 11 bytes and within half an hour it said the estimated time of finishing was in 300,000 days, so I left it over night and by morning it got to 542.3MB.
I don't understand is there something wrong with the hard drive or the formatting or is it just a glitch in the program? Help me apple community, your my only hope.

Select the icon of the drive in Disk Utility (not the volume icon nested below it.) What is the partition type shown at the bottom of the window?

TS1317 Time Capsule won't connect with Motorola modem

Using a Motorola Cable modem, that's known to be good Time capsule shows no Internet connection, put Linksys wireless router back in the system, then use Ethernet cable out of Linksys router to Time capsule everything woks ok ???? I'm totally without any ideas as to why.

Leave the modem off overnight.. with the cable disconnected. But you often need the modem off at least 15min for the dhcp at the ISP to reset. Try for increasingly long times..
You can also ring the ISP and ask them to reset the port because you have changed the router.. they should be prepared to help... Make sure the TC is the only thing connected.
I am presuming the Arris is only a modem without a router in it.
There are other tricks we use to get this working but the TC has such a limited setup presented to the end user there is nothing else you can do.
Just make sure the TC is set to dhcp on the ethernet WAN setup.. and has the connectivity leds come on when you plug it in.
Otherwise bridge the TC and use it plugged into the belkin.

I'm using a WD NAS as my time machine backup drive and since upgrading to Lion the time machine won't operate with the drive. How am I to retrieve my photos and documents from it?

I realise it is the responsibility of WD to maintain the network storage interface for time machine. What is a solution for retrieving files from time machine?
When trying to re-add the drive a message said the version of the system is not supported.

Rss widget won't update

I recently updated my blog but the rss widget won't update with the new entry, I've waited a full day. The rss feed address is: http://www.berrylibrary.com/Blog/rss.xml
Apple Mail, Google Reader, etc. all get the update but the iWeb RSS Widget refuses. I also took the widget out and put it back with no success.

Here is my trick to get my rss feed fixed:
Make a change in the Inspector that only affects the blog (but all entries), like disabling comments and right away enabling them again in the rss window of the Inspector (I don't know for sure but this could erase your existing comments); that will return the images in the right places or put them back if they disappeared altogether. This will also clean up the rss feed.
Disabling comments crashes iWeb, so it is important to enable it immediately after having disabled it, so you click in fact twice in the check box, off and on again.
But you will have to do this each time you add a post to your blog, or to any of your blogs, because it seems a change in one blog or site may have a damaging effect on an other blog.

Adding a timer widget to a captivate quiz slide

I am trying to let the users know how much time they have per slide.
I found this blog, http://lilybiri.posterous.com/timer-widget-to-stress-your-learners and it is exactly what I need, the time left display, but I am very new to captivate.. only on my 3rd on my trial and do not know how to actually go about creating variables and the widget. Is there a training video anywhere or can someone take me through step by step to create a time left display please?

Did you hear me sighing? I'm always astonished why newbies want to plunge immediately into complicated use cases?
OK, here are a couple of blog posts with links to basic articles about variables, no video tutorial there:

You do not have to create the Timer widget, it is available with Captivate.

after lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

I've had a similar problem. On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4, Firefox would not open. Crashed every time. Safari was not affected. I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago.
Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.
