Unable to see/use the play bar in Captivate

Hello,
I'm happy to join you on this forum, as I have tried to find
(and did :)) answers for some of the problems I have experienced
when learning how to use the Adobe tools.
The latest issue I've encountered was when trying to view a
Captivate presentation.
It was already published on the Connect server and it could
be perfectly viewed on my computer.
However, an user I have sent the URL to tells me that he
could see and use no play bar (!!!)
Therefore, the actions like pause, go back and forth etc.
were no longer available for him.
What do you think?
Is there something missing from the PC system that could not
allow the good "reading" of my Captivate movie or....?
Thank you very much for your answer and help!
Regards,
Oana

Hi Oana
This would seem to indicate that possibly the link provided
to your other person was perhaps pointing to the main movie .SWF
file and not the HTML file. Can you check to ensure where the link
was pointing?
With Captivate 2, at the basic level of output, you should
see four files:
* One is a .SWF containing your main movie. Perhaps named
MainMovie.SWF
* One is a .SWF containing the playback controls for the
skin. Perhaps named MainMovie_skin.SWF
* One is a JavaScript file named standard.js
* One is an HTML file that you should point your user to.
Perhaps named MainMovie.HTM
Those typical four files (and sometimes more) should all
exist on the server where everyone links to watch the movie. The
fact the main part of the movie is being viewed by your user
indicates that everything they need is installed and working
properly on their PC. It seems to indicate there are possible files
missing from the server. Not from the aspect of server
functionality, but from the aspect of what you need to make sure
ends up there so the Captivate movie can play and find all the
components.
Cheers... Rick

How can I accurately move the play bar back exactly to where I need to re-listen to?

I'm not sure if this an OS, app, software or hardware question, and couldn't find a better place to post. Hope it's OK. Apologies if not.
When i need to re-listen or re-watch a few seconds on an online school lecture using Safari or a song in iTunes to lean a part on my guitar, the play bar always moves much farther back past where & what I want to hear again - forcing me to watch or listen to unwanted material waiting until the play bar gets back to the part I want. This extra time really adds up!.
Is it possible to move the play bar back (or forward) to the exact place I want?
If the file is on my computer, I open it in recording/editing software, which allows pinpoint accuracy. If the file is online only, I record it to my computer so I can open in my recording app. All needlessly time consuming.
But i cant do this on my iPad or iPhone and a finger on a touch screen trying to move a play bar is much worse than using a mouse or trackpad on a computer.
Can I move the play bar back or forward to exactly where I need it when using simple playback type software (like maybe using the arrow keys) with the same or close to placement accuracy of a recording/editing program?
Thx!

Ah.. yes I see now.
Yes I have my eye glued on the time but the slider doesn't work in sync with what I want.
Meaning. lets say I'm listening to a lecture audio and miss the last sentence, I hit pause at 1:14, and assume I need to review 5 seconds back and want to go to 1:09. I move the slider and it goes from 1:14 to 1:00. And I can't seem to get a smooth second by second relation going with the slider. Just jumps of time.
I can get back to 1:14 and when I try again it goes back to 1:00 which feels like there is a preconfigured minimum block of time that you can go back or move forward.
So what happens is I have to listen from 1:00. So instead of 5 seconds, with the time fidgetting with the slider, I've spent a bit of time. Multiply this over the course (no pun) of a 1.5 hr lecture and the time I spend with the lecture can easily double much of it wasted time, either trying to pinpoint the spot I want, or relistening to material that precedes the point in the track I want.
the only way I've gotten around this is to use a sound editor for audio tracks which has a fluid relationship between the slider and time so I can move back in time second by second.
I am at a loss for why the standard playback apps like QuickTime and Preview are so "clunky" and choppie and why they don't allow for a second by second review, that should be both slider and arrow key initiated.
I don't think I made my point clear at first. Is this better?
Thanks,
Steven

Sometimes, when I click on a link, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link. Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg?

Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites. Is FireFox reporting that my bookmarks and history are being searched?
Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg when it has trouble finding the website I requested?

That is OK. Firefox will only display the link in the location bar after the DNS look up has succeeded and a connection to the server has been established. Until that has been done you see the default setting for the location bar: Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest

Hello Zuhaib,
Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

How to select songs using the search bar in iTunes for Windows 8.1

Just today (8th May, 14) I couldn't select songs when using the search bar in the top right hand side of iTunes. I patched it but it didn't solve the problem, however once I ran as administrator it did fix the problem. Is there a way to not have to run as administrator every time I want to open iTunes and/or is there a way to fix this problem? I have iTunes pinned on my taskbar so by default it does not open iTues as administrator. Thanks

Hi,
This should be compatible issue.
Please try to install the driver in Windows 8.1 compatible mode:
Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows
If you still find unknown device in your Device manager, right click to update the driver to see what's going on.
For further troubleshooting, please post back the C:\WINDOWS\INF\setupapi.dev.log
here for our research.
You can update it onto OneDrive or the similar network device and share the link here.

I want my privacy settings with using the location bar to stay at NOthing

Hi. I cannot stand how the location bar works with Mozilla. I have went to 'Privacy', clicked on "when using the location bar, suggest", and then clicked on NOTHING. It does not stay with this setting, but goes back to showing everything. I don't want everyone in my house seeing exactly what I have been doing, nor do "I" want to see the addresses and bookmarks listed here. If I want to view all of that, I will got to "bookmarks" or "history".

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
If you do not want that data to appear if the location bar history is enabled then use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the history when you exit Firefox or use [[Private Browsing]] mode.

How often do you use the List bar to Navigate

Hi Ppl,
I'm trying to build a custom sequence editor. In the Sequence Editor while the executions are run the sequence file view tab is open. So most of the time I use the tab's to navigate between sequence view and execution view. However in the full featured UI the sequence view is not visible while executing. So we have to navigate using the list bar.
I wanted to know will it be better to implement the way sequence editor displays the sequence view while executing. I can use a combo box to navigate to various sequence files and executions within the respective views. How often you guys use the list bar to navigate ?
Thanks

I use it once in a while. It definitly should not disappear.
Of course I have no idea what "isn't so great" means. Relative to what?
Is it worse than the current user search?
Is it better that the current user search but not as improved as the new forum search?
Is it just different?
Are the user search results better, but the interface is harder to use?
One thing could be improved. There should be a way to sort partial matches by the number of posts so inactive members don't clutter the first dozen pages of the search result. For example, if I search for "Dennis", I want him on top of that huge list. (many, many pages!)
If I search for "Dennis K" I still want partial matches, but currently there is no result if I do that. (Why does "Dennis" return many matches while "Dennis K" returns nothing (!!?), and "Dennis Knutson" again works????)
To answer your questions as best I can, the new user search is just different. The way that it presents information is different (you can check out Lithium's community to see what I mean). When I do a search, the user I expect to show up first does not necessarily show up first - in that way, it's about the same as your Dennis example. I think the current search works better for me because as an Admin I get the ability to search more fields.
On the plus side, you get the option to sort the user results by Login name (alphabetically), rank, posts, or registration date, all which could help you with finding Dennis.
So to summarize, I think the actual results will be similar with some added sort functionality. The user interface is very different, in more of a grid view as opposed to a list. I don't know that I would classify it as better or worse. That's a great wishy-washy answer, right?
Thanks,
Laura

I want to use the Menu Bar each time. But every time I open Firefox I have to again open options and select Menu Bar. Can I get it to open each time?

Sometimes it will already have the menu bar and sometimes it won't. It does not seem to remember each time that I want to use the Menu Bar.

Hello DRAnderson100, try to delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder] and check it again.

Can't drag windows around using the title bar-CS4

I just upgraded to CS4 at work last week and I'm already regretting it. Firstly, using two monitors, CS4 must like my graphics card becasue as soon as I open a document and it begins to render the window, the main monitor loses it's signal and cuts off. So I have to hard shut down and make my 2nd monitor the main one, open CS4 and a file on that monitor, then make it the 2nd monitor and pass it over to my real first monitor with a file open and make that monitor the main one again. Added to that, randomly, files will open as tabs even though I have the option unchecked in prefs. I hate tabs, I want my windows floating. But I digress.
My current issue is the file windows are not movable using the title bar. I can expand/contract every side grabbing the edge, but clicking, holding and dragging any of the title bar is ineffective. I can drag to tab to undock it, but once floating, the title bar is non-funtional for grabbing. I can also double click on it to tab, just not to drag.
I use a mac at home and thankfully Adobe hasn't forced the edge to edge palette background on that platform. On the mac we get a 'classic view' or something that does away with the desktop blocking grey window background. Seriously, I can't stand the full screen look. Why can't windows have that option to have just the menu bar, palettes and file windows allowing the desktop to be visible? /rant

A new video card is often a good idea if yours is over 2 years old. Even the modern "budget" (e.g., ~$100) cards are hugely powerful nowadays.

Ive downloaded ff4 now i cant scroll the web pages using my mouse i have to use the scroll bar why's this and can it be sorted?

i cant use the scroll function on my laptop mouse pad after i downloaded ff4. i have to use the scroll bar on the page its self

Have you looked for the file in the location as suggested by the post above mine in the linked thread?
C:\Windows\System32\tp4table.dat
Or, if you have a Synaptics device, the file might be located in its installation folder, e.g:
C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\tp4table.dat
If/when you find it I think the syntax should be the same. Either way; you could just change it back if something goes wrong and knowing the file name/location will let you search the internet more effectivly as this is a likely cause.

My screen opened, and with every click the page (letters/images) got bigger. I can not get it to return to normal image size. I have to use the slide bar to read across the page. What do i do to correct it back to normal size???

Hi jholzworth,
It sounds like you might have accidentally hit the zoom button. Try hitting ''CTRL + 0'' to return it to normal size. Just so you are aware, ''CTRL'' and ''+'' will zoom in and ''CTRL'' and ''-'' will zoom out.
Hopefully this helps!
