What is Adobe Captivate Project [Compatible Mode] vs Adobe Captivate 5 Project?

I have both types of files.
Does a file get the compatible moniker if you've brought it in from Captivate 4? Or even if you copy and paste some assets in from Captivate 4 projects (i.e. buttons, quiz screens, etc)
What does it affect? How can I get rid of this moniker?
Thanks.

I asked an experienced Adobe trainer and he said the [Compatible Mode] does not really affect anything.
We were having issues b/c even though Captivate 5 says it can be published for Flash 9, what they really mean to say is that Captivate 5 can be published to Flash 9.0.28 and above.
We had Flashplayer 9.0.16 so nothing would play. I thought it might have something to do with the files being [Compatible Mode], but that was not the issue.
We are upgrading now to Flashplayer 10.

  • What is Compatible Mode for a Captivate 7 project?

    Some of my Captivate 7 files are showing as Compatible Mode. Not sure what that means and what it might affect. Does anyone have experience with the Compatible mode? Thanks for any help!

    Thank you very much for the reply and the information helps. What confuses me is why all of a sudden it changed from specific Captivate version to Compatible Mode all by itself, as I didn't do anything to make the change, at least not intentionally. Do you have any idea and does this happen to anyone before? Thanks!

    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
    Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
    For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer. 
    A good to have reference:

  • What additional Adobe+ 3th party  applications are compatible with Premiere Elements 10?

    Dearest,
    I purchased Premiere Elements 10 and I am wondering what additional Adobe+ 3th party  applications are compatible with Premiere Elements 10?
    I tried to do some research on my own but do not get secure answers and or clear answers.
    F.e. ; I would like to order Adobe After Effects to work with aside my Premiere Elements 10 but ....what AE version? I still use
    a Xp Pro platform, 4GigMemory DDR2, NVDIA GEFORCE 210 1024MB videocard.
    Does anyone know what AE to buy and is easy to use with my machine's capacity and Premiere Elements 10?
    IF my question isn't specific enough then please escept my apology, I do not know how to ask it different.
    Thanks in advance
    Cheers

    Peter, Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tip & Tricks sub-forum, which is really a repository for, well "tips & tricks." Maybe our MOD, Steve Grisetti, will move this out ot the main, Adobe Premiere Elements forum. That said, Adobe AfterEffects is a stand-alone program, for compositing video. It is not a plug-in, nor does it directly interface with PrE, as it can with Premiere Pro, if purchased in a suite. Still, the work in PrE can go to AE, and the work in AE can come back into PrE, though not in the direct line, that it can with one of the suites with PrPro and AE, via Adobe Dynamic Link (ADL). There are also several 3rd party providers, but one does need to do a bit of looking, on the 3rd party provider's Web site, to see if PrE is supported. Good luck, Hunt

  • What operating system smartphone is compatible with Adobe Flash Player?

    What operating system smartphone is compatible with Adobe Flash Player?

    Hello,
    Flash Player is no longer supported on mobile devices.  With that said, you can manually install the last supported version of Flash Player for Android devices using the instructions here "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy). Do note that this is very old and has not been updated with any security fixes.  This FAQ offers some alternatives to Flash Player on Android devices.

  • Compatible Mode - Cap 5?

    We are having a problem with some Captivate content when it is published to our LMS.  it runs in Preview and the Player.html file plays no problem.  However once on the site, it just shows as a completely blank page.
    I have been through every setting comparing with previously published content and the only thing that I can see is different is that the Captivate5 files are showing as Adobe Captivate project [Compatible Mode] under file type (rather than Adobe Captivate 5).  There is also a file with the same name as each new one I create called [name]CPTX_LOCK FILE
    Does anyone know what this means - I have searched forums etc for this and can't find any reference to it.
    Any help appreciated!
    BK
    Message was edited by: KavanaghB

    Thanks for your response but part of the what's happening is that the lock files are not disappearing.  They simply sit there.  If I delete them, they return when I open the Captivate file again and, even when the file is closed and Captivate is shut down, they still remain. 
    Also, do you know why the Cap5 files are displaying as Compatible Mode?

  • What can I do in Safe Mode to fix boot problem?

    MY MBP is giving me the "NOT" sign on start-up. This comes after initially displaying the Apple logo.
    This MBP had a new logic board installed by Apple just two weeks ago -- and I know I can take it back but I'd like to fix this myself.
    Here's what's happening.
    BTW -- I put in a different hard drive after getting the MBP back. It has worked fine for several days.
    Don't know if these points are relevant, but:
    1. First thing I noticed today is that neither of the USB ports would read a flash drive. The port would, however, work mouse and keyboard.
    2. The initial non-boot episode took place when I had external hard drives daisy-chained in via Firewire. But, again, this had worked previously, as recent as this morning.
    This may be significant:
    3. The last tasks performed on the MBP were -- for the first time -- to edit video in FCE, make DVD in iDVD, burn IMG file.
    4. I have connect this MBP as a target FW drive to another MBP and run "disk verify" and "disk repair" in Disk Utility. It says the drive and permissions are okay.
    5. I have booted to a copy of Disk Warrior (latest version, version 4, I believe) and rebuilt directories and files along with verify/repair permissions (everything DW will do). And when re-starting, it still won't boot.
    6. When I boot off Snow Leopard DVD and run Disk Utility…"verify disk" says "the volume appears to be ok"….when I "repair disk" it reports "Volume repair complete." and "Updating boot partitions for the volume as required."
    7. I'm able to boot in SAFE MODE, but when I try to restart in normal mode, it won't boot (so nothing was automatically fixed)
    What can I do in safe mode to address my problem?
    Thanks,
    TD

    IS IT FOR 32 bit & 64 bit Applications & OS ??
    Can I Install Windows 7(32/64)  and Microsoft Office XP on that
    Are there any drivers required..
    Let me know on that
    Thanks & Regards

    Have the same problem too - thinking about councelling my lawyer about that since the problem must be known to them for weeks! And the buggy update is still online!!! (Don't come with their stupid exclaimer - in Germany we have paragraph 303b StGB)
    Read your suggestion here: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1456355.html
    about the use of file name "bios.fd" - was a nice try - but unfortenately nothing more
    Even tried with "bin" and "rom" - didn't even work.
    Btw.: In another post I read about "PlatformName" from the ini-file and so I tried it with "NIWE1" and the endings .bin, .fd, .rom and hat no success either.
    My next guess is that the ROM file within that package is faulty! So we need an old version to get back to a running state.
    So still waiting for customer support callback...
    Have a G560 (i5, 4GB RAM) with a stupid partinioned hard disk (was the first thing i changed).
    To repeat the warning:

  • Nokia 6230 non-compatible mode?

    Please help! when i connect my phone to pc it says 'connected in non-compatible mode' change to 'phone UI' What does that mean????

    I have had Nokia phones for a while now, but transferring data between a Nokia phone via a computer and another Nokia phone is one of the most frustrating things there is in life!!
    I only wanted to transfer my contacts from a N95 phone on O2 to a 6700 classic on T-mobile, should not be that difficult right?!
    WRONG!!!
    I take the sim card out of my old phone (N95) and put into my new one (6700) and it asks for a Restriction code, which I don't have and neither does T-mobile or Nokia!
    I try connecting the N95 to my pc via usb on pc suite and data transfer and the computer recognises it but the Nokia pc suite does not, saying phone not connected and that it is in the incompatible mode ui!
    I even downloaded the latest updated software for the N95 which took a while, and still no joy!
    This is about the third time in 3 years this has happened that I can't transfer my contacts, but by using the windows software to open devices I did manage to transfer my contacts to the pc, but you can only then re-transfer them to the memory card where you can't then transfer them to the contacts file or sim card memory!
    And even then in the memory card you can't open the individual contacts because the file format is not supported, vcf!!!
    And yet amazing I managed to transfer my photos to the pc via lifeblog as easy as that!!!
    It is incredible in this day and age that it is so difficult to transfer data from 1 phone to another which are the same make and using the correct Nokia software, and yes the Nokia website does have cheesey photos with really useless step by steps, that only state the obvious and do not really tell you anything that you don't know already!!! 
    And while I am here I must say that the N95 is a poor phone, very slow to start up, very slow to use, battery only lasts about 8 hours, terrible camera which struggles to focus on 2 different objects less that about a foot apart, i.e. it cannot differentiate and would only focus on the front object (and I am a serious photographer). The back cover is to weak and broke very easily and has had to be held on with tape! The signal has been terrible up and down like a yo yo, and it was not all O2's fault I have to hold the phone in a certain way for a while to try and gain a signal which makes me look like some kind weirdo!! 
    I'm going to get T-mobile to transfer the contacts for me on their non pc bit of kit now, otherwise I will be sitting there all day entering in each contact individually!!
    Come on Nokia you really need to sort this very simple and yet very important issue out, please.......!!
    Right i've had my last rant for the year, have a happy new year everyone, and good luck. 

  • Non-compatible mode Nokia 515

    Heyhey,
    how do I get out of file transfer mode when I connect my Nokia 515 to pc using a USB cable?
    It says it's connected in non-compatible mode. 
    What I am trying to do is: update the software. I'm using the dual-sim version.
    Wireless update is impossible, my mobile internet and 3G both work, but when I ask my phone to download software it says I have no network connection. That's why I tried connecting it, I installed Nokia Suite, which is incompatible, Nokia Software Recovery Tool, which is incompatible, Nokia Software Updater, which is incompatible, so now I'm trying Nokia PC Suite, which says the phone is connected in non-compatible mode, which is slightly better.
    Does anyone know how to update it? it's on versino 09.04, it's Nokia 515.2, and RM-952.
    This phone is outrageously expensive for a feature phone, thank god for the battery life and build quality, and even the camera is okay. It's disgusting that this lowest-tier bug-filled software is put on it (haven't installed a single downloaded app, yet it crashes every now and then while writing or receiving texts). Now I simply want to update it.
    If anyone is able to help me, I hope they'll feel the most wonderful person in the world for at least a week, because that is what they'll be to me.
    I am very good at following step-by-step solutions.

    Okay, I solved the non-compatible mode thing! Because I'm a nice guy, I'm gonna tell how I did it, not like the guys on the other hundreds of forums I visited who just said "solved it ".
    I had to connect as a modem, then windows looked for a whole bunch of drivers, and apparently one of the drivers it needed for modem connection is also helping the compatibility with normal pc suite connection.
    Now, it also worked for the nokia software updater, but it said that the device is not supported as well.
    I wonder if it also displays that message when there's no update available? On the site it says updates are into version 10, and I'm still into 9, but maybe there's still regions that still have what I have? I bought it on german amazon and am using it in Belgium (First World Country, yet it is not sold here?) The search for updates continues.

    2. and the "tell websites not to track me" under Safari - Preference - Privacy.

    That box should prevent websites using trackers to log your movements on the Web to benefit advertisers. I have no idea if it does.
    Safari can keep your browsing history private. When you turn on private browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information, so your partner cannot see where you have been, but you must also remember to also turn off acceptance of cookies.
    In all other respects Private Browsing is not as private as you might think:
    http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-make-safaris-private-browsing-fea ture-actually-private/
    http://www.insanely-great.com/news.php?id=9054
    and then Apple's own advice from here: http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/privacy_safari.html
    "Note that the Private Browsing option does not prevent Safari from collecting cookies (the preference files automatically generated by many websites). The Reset Safari option clears all cookies. If you want to delete only certain ones, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click the Security tab, and then click Show Cookies. You can select and delete individual cookies from the list that appears. Careful, though — if you’re a frequent web user, this list can be very, very long."
    which is itself incomplete, the relevant part being 'If you want to delete only certain ones.
    To that end it is useful to have Safari Cookies installed, which is the only cookie manager available for Safari:
    http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
    which automatically deletes all cookies not marked as 'favourites' when closing Safari. It does the same for Flash Cookies, but they are subject for themselves:
    From this website:
    http://machacks.tv/2009/01/27/flushapp-flash-cookie-removal-tool-for-os-x/
    For those who do not know about Flash cookies, more properly referred to as Local Shared Objects (LSO), they operate in a similar way to regular browser cookies but are stored outside the purview of your browser, meaning you cannot delete them from within your browser, whether Safari, Firefox, Opera or any other. Typically they are issued from sites or 3rd party sites that contain Adobe Flash content. Since virtually all internet advertising is  delivered in Flash, Google/Doudleclick and all other internet advertising companies are sure to be tracking your browsing behavior with Flash cookies. These companies can see you traverse the Internet as you come upon the plethora of sites that contain their embedded advertising. Check out the Wikipedia entry here.
    In Mac OS X they are stored in the following location:
    /User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects
    The settings for the Flash cookies are stored in:
    /User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
    In OS X Local Shared Objects, or Flash Cookies, are appended with a .sol suffix. Flush deletes all the Flash cookies (.sol) and their settings.
    Flush can be downloaded from that page.
    If you want to retain certain Flash cookies but not others, the excellent add-on for Safari called SafariCookies now includes a setting for automatically deleting flash cookies you don't want to retain, when Safari is shut down, in the same as it deals with ordinary cookies:
    http://www.sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/index.htm
    which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff!
    This article covers the issue in more depth:
    http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/
    Flash cookies are also known as 'Zombie Cookies' and are used by a number of firms, including Hulu, MTV, and Myspace. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the internet security firm Sophos, told BBC News that the source of the trouble was Adobe Flash itself, which he called "one of the weirdest programs on the planet".
    "I think it's highly unlikely that these large companies have abused Flash cookies - which are different from browser cookies - with malicious intent," he said.
    "I think it's much more likely that the vast majority of users are simply oblivious to the bizarre way in which Adobe allows them to configure the software."

    And a more recent article:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/technology/21cookie.html?_r=3&scp=1&sq=flash&s t=cse
    [b]Tracker cookies and the invisible web:[/b]
    – tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons that are included on web pages in order to get an idea of your online behavior.
    Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity.
    http://www.ghostery.com/about
    This provides an extension to Safari (also available for other browsers) that shows you what data tracking is active on each web page you visit, and enables you to block them.
