TOC Navigation Setup Help

I've been looking through the forums and haven't quite found an answer to my question yet, but hopefully someone will be able to help me. What I am trying to do is create a TOC Navigation that disables all other navigation buttons until the button before it has been completed before it. Hopefully this makes sense :\ I would like to make the user go through the whole course in the order it was ment to be done instead of being able to jump ahead in the navigation. Once they have completed one section of the course the next section would become available to select and move on through the course...etc! I am using Captivate 6 any ideas or help would be appreciated. Even if you can point me in the right direction where to look to find the answer I don't have a problem doing the reading and learning.

Hi there
I think the only way you could really accomplish this would be to create a single variable for each slide in the presentation. Then have an advanced action that checks and sets the variable upon entry and exit. Upon entering a slide, check the variable of the last slide to see if it has been visited. If not, disallow play of the slide until the previous slide variable has been set.
Hopefully someone has a more clever or efficient way to accomplish this.
Cheers... Rick

TOC navigation controls - random behavior

My landscape-only book is structured in iBooks Author as a Preface followed by a sequence of Sections. The result works fine, including the TOC, which consists of nothing but a horizontal scrolling set of thumbnail page images.
However, after I use the book for a while, a pair of TOC navigation buttons will randomly appear at the bottom of the display, and once they appear they won't go away unless I return to the iBooks library and then re-open the book.
These buttons (when they appear) exhibit broken behavior: clicking on the leftmost button displays an all-black phantom page on the display, with the black page existing at the equivalent of page number -1 in the book.
Any ideas on why the nav buttons are spontaneously appearing? I haven't been able to pinpoint any specific user action which triggers their appearance. The goal is to suppress their appearance altogether.
Thanks!

These may help

TOC navigation in C5

All,
I have tried to create a TOC with 2 groups of slides (eventually, there may be upt to 10 groups). Navigation is enabled in TOC settings. When the file is published and played back in the web browser (IE8), I cannot move from one group of slides to the other using the TOC navigation. The files just play from beginning to end. I can go back once a slide has played, but not forward. I would like for the user to be able to select which group of slides they view.
Thank you in advance.

If the Skin you're using has been customised at all, have you tried changing the TOC to a different Skin in the Skin Editor, perhaps one of the standard skins that comes with Captivate?
I have sometimes experienced issues with TOCs behaving badly because of corruption in the underlying Skin, usually one that I've been playing around with. When I change the Skin, publish, and then change back again, it has sometimes resolved the issue. This has been the case with several projects upgraded from Cp4 to Cp5. It seems that in the upgrade process the connection between the project and the skin was compromised.
Also, don't forget that if your Quiz Settings have Backward Movement disabled, you won't be able to use the TOC to move backward in the movie. Forward should still work however.
Hope this helps.

Site setup help...

Hi -
I am new to using CS5 and I am having a few different problems. I am not sure but I think they all stem from improper setup. I had used dreamweaver mx 2004 to set up a few sites back in 2004-5 so I am am somehwat familiar with setup, however, besides trying out CS5 on a new computer, I also now have a QNAP 459+ NAS which I am using as the remote server (as opposed to a site through go daddy or other).
I have PHP and mysql running on my NAS, and I have also installed Xampp on my computer. (first off I was not sure that I needed this because I have a server (NAS), but I decided to install so because I was pretty sure that my local machine needed apache running in order to parse php scripts before they run on the server) In XAMPP control panel, I get the following:
Where it says apache is started but up above it does not say that it is running. When I try to view PHP code in dreamweaver from the local site, it just shows the little PHP emblem and does not process the code. It does process php if I access the page from the server by typing the address in a browser. It does not process at all in dreamweaver.
I also get the following errors in dreamweaver which I am not sure but I think are related:
"dynamically-related files could not be resolved because your credentials don't allow file activity on the server"
and
"An unknown error occurredwhile discovering dynamically related files. Retry."
I am not sure if I have multiple problems or just one which is causing all these symptoms, but any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
LilPauly8211

Setup & Help buttons stopped working

I recently upgraded wireless network from WEP to WPA. Lost wireless connectivity to 3310 All-in-One, and now Setup & Help buttons don't work so I can't connect to new network. What happened? Is there a way to setup new network without accessing Setup menu on device?

Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Run the software, making sure there is no USB cable attached. Choose "Network" or "Wireless" connection type when it asks. Plug in a USB cable (temporarily) when it asks.

Every time I load Firefox it loads a tab called "ask a question|Navigation|Firefox Help" -- how do I disable this?

Running Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.16

Thanks for the swift reply. I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my question. Two tabs are loaded. One tab is my Home Page the other is the tab called "Ask a question|Navigation|Firefox Help" It's not a problem, just an irritation because I delete the tab every time. I have the "Help" menu selection and can click at any time so I don't need that "Ask a question|Navigation|Firefox Help" tab loading each time.

With no files open, edit your preferences and change units to inches.
That said, InDesign will convert units so if you type 11 in, even though the document uses picas, it will convert the inches to picas for you.

TOC navigation problems

Hi everyone, I can't seem to find an answer to this question.
I currently have a project where TOC navigation is allowed to visited slides only. However, I want all slides to become available on module completion. The current set up allows users skip bits in the content, so these slides are not visited, meaning they never become available with the settings as they are.
I can use the Lock TOC and Unlock TOC to switch all navigation off and on, but this doesn't work while the navigate visited slides only is switched on. I want to keep it as it is allowing navigation to visited slides only, then on the last section allow all sections to be available using the TOC, regardless of whether they have previously been visited or not.
I have a feeling this may be impossible, please let me know.
Thanks

To get each user to have a different experience when viewing the content, you need to have some way for each user to be uniquely identified, otherwise the browser has no way of knowing that THIS is not the same person that was looking at the content an hour ago. The way this is normally achieved is by getting users to log in as a different profile.
There's no EASY way I can think of to achieve what you want WITHOUT users having different profiles. You would need to get some custom HTML programming done by someone that basically mimicked separate browser sessions under the same login. It's theoretically possible, but I've never been required to do anything like this.

Help with Navigation Setup

I'm new to Fireworks, so this might be a simple question, but
here it is:
I created a navigation menu with rollover buttons. I want the
button to indicate the current page by being highlighted, or
possibly displaying another image. Is there a way to do this
without having to recreate the menu for every page? Also, what if I
wanted to change the background of the navigation bar
(color/picture) for each page?
Thanks!

Rule #1 - don't do this in Fireworks. Go to DW to build your
interactivity.
Use FW to produce the graphics.

Toc navigation panel has chaptertitles listed 2x

I've really been working on this for hours and days using all resources available.
I know that this is an easy fix but I just cannot get it.
Issue: TOC generation
When I open up the indesign book in adobe digital editions
the first page is a visual of my TOC (like in the print version) and each chapter is highlighted.
- if i scroll the chapters are all visible
PROBLEM
yesterday - i was fine - finally - or so i thought.
today - i have added 2 more documents to this same book; used the same anchor and hyperlink method
but now the navigation panel looks like this.
RESULT
In the resulting navigation panel in adobe digital reader I now have these listed 2x.
-preface    clicking here does nothing
-diagram   clicking here does nothing
-chap1       this works
-chap 2      this works
-chap 3      this works
-chap 4      this works
etc.            this works
-preface     this works
-diagram    this works
Do you know why I am getting the listing 2x and why the first copies of each do nothing ?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

note.
book written in word on a mac and converted to pdf for upload to
lightningsource, createspace, kindle - initially; just getting to epub this
past week and a half.
- used my 'word' document - split it up so each chapter, part is it's own
doc.
- placed them all in indesign and saved as .indd
- the 'only' formatting i used is in indesign.
- i set the chapter (title of page such as 'dedication') to paragraph style
1 and left justified things.
- this is the only thing that i added when i created the toc.
Question: is this going to a problem when the ebook is downloaded to
devices other than adobe digital reader: such as ipad, sony reader, kindle
- maybe i might be best off setting styles to all of the text in the
indesign docs but i really am not sure where to begin and that basic
documentation or tutorial is really eluding me. colin flemming and gabriel
powell's tutorials helped but were not clear about the toc - which YOU were.

10.5.1 Server Setup - Help Make it all Work!

Hello Everyone, I currently have a new MacMini running 10.5.1 with our Calendar, Wiki and File Sharing. I have recently just returned from the Mac OS 10.5 Training Session from Chicago Columbia College and was astonished at what their demo servers did versus what mine has never done lol. We are a small tech company and there isn't much yet in the way of documentation or training or even training materials for Leopard Server. So I wanted to share some of what we learned from the training seminar and hopefully someone will know the proper answers to my questions. This is going to be a bit long winded but I think it's important to convey my questions/concerns.
1. Ok initial setup of our Leopard server requires you to input a host name and then the domain name. Well after the first install of Leopard we found as I have read amongst the posts for the past 2 hours that if you place let's say macmini in the host-name field then place domain.com in the domain field. After the server setup is complete Leopard Server wants you to chat, vpn, and browse to http://macmini.domain.com/groups as well as mail. This is all well and good if you have access to DNS like I do and can easily make changes to the MX & A records but if your a typical SMB user then you won't and this means that once your e-mail is setup and your ready to start using your server anyone you e-mail will come from [email protected] and not [email protected] which is a huge problem. So be cautious here. I was instructed by Apple after scratching their head to leave the host-name blank and only fill in the domain name here if your on let's say a T1 or other medium with a static IP pointed at your machine or router. So this is my first pet peve, there is a sloppy work around to this by telling the server to receive e-mail for domain.com as well but still whenever you send it comes from the original domain.
2. Application Setup - Single Sign-on - When I attended Leopard training this week in Chicago I was amazed at how whenever a user (demo -lab environment) logged into ichat, ical, wiki or e-mail there was simple single sign-on kerberos auth. What I mean by this is once the server is up and running and your Mac connects to the network for the first time either by manual add thru the directory application or a new Mac that finds the Leopard server automatically at first boot and you auth a user on the server to that Mac then there is just a single signon from that point on, NOT! For us our users log into their machines, (mind u they are already users on the Leopard server and can log in just fine) and they try to go to their e-mail for the first time it always fails. We then have to disable SSL over SMTP and IMAP and manually type in their passwords because the MacMail clients cannot trust the SSL cert or we simply just delete their accounts and recreate them from scratch. Same happens with iChat. By design when you auth your Mac against the server, the server auto configs the security and client apps, i.e. mail, ichat, directory, VPN, ical. But iCal has consistently failed setup across 5 server builds and 10 clients. What will happen is when you go to prefs in ichat you see your account but it can't auth you and doesn't show up in ical for your personal server calendar. If you manually remove your user account and re-add it works great. But next time you go to ichat, once again you have to recreate. And I can recreate this all day long. But at the demo it worked like magic. So that is problem number two, SSL and single sign-on does not really work and app auto-config does not work at all.
3. Apple Airport Extreme 802.11N. - As a test and per Apple's recommendation for SMB clients we picked up a new Airport. We patched it and setup user/pass info and setup DHCP on the device for so if server fails we have internet. And during server setup it logged into Airport and tried to configure settings. We were on the net and all was good after server setup. However with VPN enabled per user in Standard mode on server we have only been able to gain VPN access for clients if they are actually inside the network. I have spent about 10 hours back and forth with Apple Support trying to get VPN to work outside. The Manual setup of new Airport Port-Mapping is simple but crude. It does not seem to work. And there is a default hosts setting which should translate to an open DMZ but does not. So that is third on my list, running a MacMini with 2gig's of RAM which is within SPEC for Leopard Server and using the Apple Recommended solution of an Airport Extreme N does not work for s&*% and I would be very surprised if anyone here has gotten that to work.
4. E-Mail Services - As stated prior Leopards auto app setup utility does not work for crap unless by some magic there are other steps besides the ones outlined and printed with the purchase of server. But the main thing about mail is that we are missing the basics. I mean your going to be hard pressed to find ANY e-mail application on the market today, Notes, Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, iMail or other that does not include basic vacation/out of the office message replies. This is a huge issue for any small business or for that matter any size business that wants to automate things when they are out and I think this is one of my small peeves but certainly worth a listing here.
5. VPN - We have tried like **** to get the VPN to work thru the Airport as previously noted but we have also connected MacPro with 2 nics, one for net and one for LAN and not been able to connect to the server from outside our network. Here is my largest frustration, we currently run SBS2003 from MSFT and they run flawlessly. I have literally sat with clients in their office during a new setup for SBS and in 3-4 hours we were up and running with minimal system level changes from the guided path. And for Apple to advertise this in the manual and all online materials as being SMB friendly is a complete slap in the face. Now don't confuse my above descriptions of problems we have seen across 5 Leopard builds as being a rant because it's not but seriously I am a network engineer with 10 years in the field working with 20+ product ranges and in our office we only use Mac because of stability and uptime. But OS X 10.5 is not Small Business Friendly at all even with the half hearted attempt at the new System Admin console for SMB users. However that being said I will still push on and try to get all these little bugs worked out and what I would really like to see is some feedback on my issues and I would love to know if anyone else has had similar issues. I really had hoped that 10.5 could help my firm finally push the proper solution (Mac OS X) for our SMB clients but it just isn't there yet.
Cheers,
DM

Thanks for the quick read and response. Do you feel the issue might lie with the fact that it is a Mac Mini? And possibly just not powerful enough to run Leopard Server? I have to say in our trials with MacPro it was like night and day as to how they performed. And if you could elaborate on this "Many VPNs don't play well with NAT so your VPN server should have a direct connection to the public network (preferably firewalled, of course, but not NATted)." Most every SoHo and for that matter uses simple NAT translation for security even our multi thousand dollar Cisco PIX and ASA's are basic NAT devices to start with. How would you put the VPN on public net while keeping the attack surface low for the rest of the services like file, web, mail and print?
Don't get me wrong I want this to work more than you can imagine. We are so tired of supporting MSFT technologies that cost thousands a year in antivirus, antispyware, antispam and other malware protection for the enterprise. We know that Leopard has great potential but for an integrator, getting this system up and functional is not an easy task. And the worst part of it is every time we have called for support the tech always lets out a sigh when they hear we have run standard setup because they are not allowed to walk us thru the server console to make repairs. And have been told by 3 techs so far that this is a new product and the support avenues are not there for standard since it just supposed to work out of the box. But when it doesn't then ohh well. Which is sorta sad...

How do you limit TOC navigation for multiple users on one computer?

If you have 5 Adobe Captivate 5.5. Projects linked together to play consecutively how can you set up a TOC so that each new user starts from the beginning and can only go back to slides that the new user has viewed? We have the TOC set to Enable Navigation, Navigate Visited Slides Only, and View Status Flag. This is a required training video that will be taken by many users. We need them to be able to go back to the sections that they already viewed but not be able to see the sections that others have already watched. In other words, we don't want them to be able to advance ahead to the sections that the previous test takers have viewed.
Message was edited by: DOLOnlineTrainers
Problems:
•     Remove the TOC and they have no navigation abilities to see something they may have missed
•     Keep it in and the viewer can advance to parts they have not viewed as the previous user set the ability
•     Put a back button in and they can only go back one at a time and have no ability to get back to where they were if they keep hitting back other than watch over
•     Tried the clear button in TOC under status flag which clears the status flags yet it only works on one section at a time and does not clear all linked projects
•     Is there something we are missing? Tried reading blogs and really can’t pinpoint problem

To get each user to have a different experience when viewing the content, you need to have some way for each user to be uniquely identified, otherwise the browser has no way of knowing that THIS is not the same person that was looking at the content an hour ago.

Family Sharing Setup Help

Hi all,
My wife and I have an old iCloud/iTunes account setup that we like but it doesn't want to play ball with Family Sharing. Consequently, I am hoping you guys can help us nut out the next steps.
Before Family Sharing, my wife and I wanted to share photos, contacts, calendar events, shared email and so forth but be able to make our own iTunes purchases separately.
Consequently, we set up an iCloud account and put this into both of our iPhones, laptops and iPads under Settings > iCloud.
We still, however, had iTunes Store, FaceTime, Messages etc set up on individual Apple ID's.
I attempted to set up Family Sharing using the shared iCloud account and setting my personal iTunes Apple ID as the "purchasing" authority and payment.
However, when I invited my wife in - it shows exactly as it is set up (probably due to the shared iCloud account details) and she doesn't see any purchases I have made and I don't see any purchases she has made.
What should we now do? Do we need to revert to using our own individual Apple ID's in "iCloud" or something?

Hello Carney10,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you say you do not have the setup option for Family Sharing, that seems like you log into the iCloud System Preference but the "Set Up Family" button is not there.
Is your Mac updated to Yosemite?
Family Sharing - Apple Support
iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality.
Where in the setup are the options not available or working?
OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
Best regards,
Nubz

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro - GigaWorks 7.1 - Tracktor DJ Studio - Setup help ple

I am trying to work out the best way to configure the following components so I can mix 2 tunes - listen to the mix on one channel and the incoming song on the headphones.
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
GigaWorks 7.
Tracktor DJ Studio
Currently with the Gigaworks connected to the Audigy and the headphones connected into the External IO Hub - selecting any combination of channels in Traktor to become master or headphone yields all tunes being played through speakers and headphones.
Reading the spec on the Audigy it appears I can use Line out on the soundcard itself to connect the headphones direct - but with the Gigaworks requiring all 3 line outs - how should i then best connect the speakers?
The Traktor instructions indicate that this config is possible using a multichannel soundcard - which this is.
I've attempted config in Traktor using all of the following Audio Devices:-
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO [ECCO]
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96 [ECCO]
Creative ASIO
DS SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [ ECCO]
No luck with any of them.
Im obviously not understanding something - and im sure im not the first person to attempt this.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Simon

I think what you're missing is that the headphone out is really connected to the same signal as the front speakers out. The assumption is that you're either going to be listening to the headphones or to the speakers. Tracktor can probably use the soundcard channels independently, but anything directed to the headphones also goes to the front speaker output. I believe you can set things up so plugging in the headphones will mute the speakers, but that doesn't help the front speakers play a different signal than the headphones.
I don't think there's a connection setup which you can use both for Tractor and for 7. listening. You can probably get Tractor to send the output you want to hear on your headphones to line out 2 and the mixed signal to line out . That would mean connecting the headphones to what is normally the surround left/right output, which you'd need to disconnect from the speakers while you're doing this.
If you end up trying to rig up switching to help you go back and forth, using 4 Sony-type camcorder cables for line out 2 and 3, and 2 stereo minijack to RCA cables will probabably be helpful because it will be a lot easier to get RCA-connector switching than 4-pole minijack switching.

Page Setup Help

Hello,
I have been working on a pamphlet for my university. Now the size of the page is 8.5 inch by 11 inch. I am designing two pages (front and back) with this page measurement. However, I am also required to print another version of the pamphlet with the page size being 17 inch by 11 inch (Pretty much just merging the front and back side in a top to bottom style in a longer page). I was wondering if there was an easy way to print it like that without having to modify or edit the designs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Were I to do it:
If you do this on a document where the spreads are not together as I suggested...
1) Change the layout to portrait (File > Document Setup, change to portrait). This will cause the content to no longer fit the new orientation.
2) Next, rotate the spread 90 CW so that it is back to landscape mode when you view it on screen (View > Rotate Spread > 90 CW)
3) Then, rotate the content on the docuent so that it is laid out on the page as intended. This should be as easy as selecting it all and setting the object rotation to 0.
4) Repeat steps 2-3 for page 2
5) join the spreads as I suggested.
If you have already joined the spreads...
1) Do step 1 above
2) Do step 3 for both sides (although you may have to set the rotation to 90 degrees) and reposition on the page
3) do step 2 above.
Note the orientation of the page and the spread in the pages panel. Also note the rotation icon to the right of the spread in the pages panel. InDesign CS4 and later.
