Old Captivate Files (*.cp)

I have some projects made in version 3 or 4 (in 2005) the new version 7 of Captivate does not recognise them.
Any Idea on how I can update them to a level that Captivate 7 can open them.
Thanks

Hi there,
Captivate 7 cannot open .cp files.
You need to use one of these versions: Captivate 5, or 5.5 or 6, to open .cp files and convert them into .cptx, please let me know if you need the 30 days trial of any of these for conversions.
You need to launch Captivate (5, 5.5 and 6), click on file > open locate that .cp, and save that as .cptx, then that .cptx can be opened in Captivate 7.
You may face some issues with fonts and other settings, since newer versions of Captivate use different rendering techniques.
Note: Make a back up of you .cp files and then convert, because once converted into .cptx you will not be able to open that in Captivate 3 or 4.
Thanks.

Can Captivate 6 open old CP files?

Hi - I have a bunch of old CP files made in Captivate 4. I understand that the CP format cannot be opened in the later versions of Captivate, but can they be opened in Captivate 6?
Thanks for any insight.

But be careful, don't expect a smooth upgrade because so much has changed between 4 and 6. You have to be sure that no AS2 is used in the CP4-projects. Text engine has changed since 5, will probably lead to problems. Same for question slides. You can try it, personally I would prefer using the assets and restart from scratch, mostly less work.

Upgraded to C4, removed C3 - now can't open old C3 files with C4

Hi,
I have been using demo version of C4 and upgraded today.
My system automatically opened C4 files with C3 first of all so decided to remove C3 from my sytem.
Now i can't open any of my old C3 files in C4. what heppens is C4 says it needs to reformat the project so it can be used in C4 as expected. The system goes away and does it stuff but no differnt file is produced. I try to open the original C3 file and have to go round same loop again with no success.
Please Help as i can't do any work until i can open files.
Thank you, Ellen

Hi Julie
The post you replied to was apparently spam. I've deleted the post and reported the person that posted it.
If you are still seeing issues, please report this to Adobe as a possible bug. (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

How to remove the old context files after upgrade to R12.1.1

Hi,
I upgraded 11.5.9 (DB 9.2.0.4) to 12.1.1 (DB 11.2.0.2).
In the Applications Manager under AutoConfig menu, I noticed that I have 4 context files: 2 for DB Tier and 2 for Apps Tier. Apparently two of them are old from the 11i system. How can delete them so I have two listed on this page. I need to add custom parameters. When I tried to do it, it errored out saying "Customization is not allowed on different versions of configuration files.".
Thanks,
Sinan

Make sure none of the old context files are available on the servers (delete them), also make sure you have proper entries in the FND_NODES table.
For the error you get, please see these docs.
Create a Custom Parameter Fails With - Customization Is Not Allowed On Different Versions of Configuration Files [ID 762590.1]

Just upgraded to MacBook Pro running 10.8.4. Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes. Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade. Called Apple 2x.

Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.
What does "old movies" mean to you? File type, audio and/or video compression format(s)?
Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade.
Did you follow the instructions found here?
If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
To which fix do you refer? Activatng QT 7 Pro or converting the files? Even with QT 7 Pro activated you may need to modify your QT codec component configuration depending on the file type and compression formats used to encode your "old movies." There may be many different problems here with each having one or more "fixes." Please try to be more specific regarding your questions. Converting a muxed VOB MPEG2/AC3 file would be very different different from converting an AVI DivX5/MP3 file depending on which application you are attempting to use.

I'm operating 10.6.8 If I upgrade to 10.7 or above, will I loose access to my old Word files?

I'm operating 10.6.8 If I upgrade to 10.7 or above, will I loose access to my old Word files?

You won't lose the documents unless a problem occurs(back them up), but if you're using Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade Office or open them in a different application.

Pages 08 won't open my old pages file

I just upgraded to Pages 08 and when I try to open the file I was working on yesterday, with the previous version of pages, it says "The document...couldn't be opened". How can I open the old pages file with the new version?

It may be useful to trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
But I'm afraid that the document is corrupted.
Control click its icon then select the "Show package's contents" in the contextual menu.
The standard contents is:
Contents
QuickLook
index.xml.gz
The described message is displayed when there is no "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") file.
It is also displayed when the "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") is badly formed.
The index may be dropped when the documents where stored on an iDisk.

How do I use old data files with a new installation in Oracle 9i

I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
Thanks for any advice.

Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

Can't open Captivate 6.0 subscription and can't upgrade to Captivate 7.0

I just tried to open Captivate 6.0 and it is asking me to license the software, per usual. I'm on subscription. Normally clicking the License This Software button logs me in with my user account. Because of the upgrade to 7.0, it now stops at a page requiring a serial number.
I can't upgrade to 7.0 because I am on 10.6.8 (Mac) and that's as high as I can get on OS because of my MacBook version.
WTF Adobe??? I have a deadline of tomorrow and need to use your software -- which I have paid for!!!
Have been on hold waiting for Adobe Captivate product team for 55 minutes (and going) now.
You guys had better sort this out. This is ridiculous!
Also... backwards compatability is kind of essential. i.e., saving a Captivate file to a previous version so that co-worker, client, etc can open it if they have a previous version (even InDesign has this... not as easy as Photoshop or Illustrator, but you can still do it at least). Can you please make that a high priority??? Thank you.

Hi Deidre,
Sorry to hear about your problem.
I will make sure you recieve a call as soon as possible from Adobe to provide any possible help.
Please email thed etails of your Subscription and Machine as well as your Contact number to -- [email protected]
Thanks,

Flash 10,1,102,64 causes captivate files to display black screen

I noticed when we upgraded our computers to flash 10,1,102,64 it broke ALL of our captivate files. I called adobe tech support and they were worthless.. it doesn't seem to happen with the previous version of flash. When the Captivate lesson starts, it simply cuts right to a black screen... fortunately I figured out the solution.. so I'm sharing the knowledge.
The problem appears to be with ANY animated slide with animated text. The only solution I found was to remove animtated text and replace it with a static gif or jpg. Hopefully, the info is useful to any other frustrated users

So how does it work then for people who downgraded to the previous version of Flash? Should we still install the new .dll? Will the next Flash Player have this fixed in it? Just curious what you would recommend for the scenario where the current player isn't installed.
Thanks for the update and fixing the issue.

Cannot open old Illustrator files (pre version 8) in CS4 trial

Hi
I am thinking of upgrading from Illustrator CS2 to CS4. However, I have downloaded the trial version and have found that Illustrator CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8 (pre 2000) whereas Illustrator CS2 had no problem with this. I do not want to resave my old files as there are way too many of them (hundreds!).
I am running Windows XP.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

Exactly what happens when you attempt to open one of these old files in AI 14 (CS4)? (If you get an error message, what does it say?)
Can you post a sample file up on a server or service and provide the link here? That way, others with AI 14 can test to see whether it's something peculiar to your installation.
Please also tell us exactly how you are attempting to open the files. (Double-clicking in Explorer? Using File | Open from within Illustrator? Dragging and dropping onto an AI 14 shortcut?)
>...CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8...
I find it very difficult to believe AI 14 can open version 8 but not version 7 files. There was no significant change in the native file format.

Update old DNG files in LR?

I have some old DNG files converted in LR 1.0. How do I make sure that this files are updated to the latest version of the DNG standard and with the latest improvements and bug fixes for my cameras raw format? Is this handled while I save metadata or do I have to update the DNG file?
Can anybody from Adobe explain why there is hopefully no difference between having a file converted 2 years ago compared to having a nef file and convert it to day with latest version of the DNG converter?

I'm not from Adobe, but IIRC (If I Remember Correctly), you can upgrade the DNGs with the latest version of the DNG converter.

Old .idx files no longer working

Old .idx files (index files) that worked with Reader 9 no longer work with Reader XI. Because of this, I have not upgraded beyond Reader 9, but I love the new XI. Is there any way of converting the old .idx file so that they will work in XI? (is there a simple upgrade tool?)

Latest iPhoto, v.9.5. New Library: same result. But all files that iPhoto balks at ('sees' them, but warning exclamation point and not opened) open happily in Preview.
(A thought: maybe I should try Loom. But iPhoto really should be able to handle these files if Preview can.)
