What is too large?

Captivate hangs every time I try to import a project of 10
slides. I have over 250 slides in my project. Do I need to split
things up?

Hi Gingere,
I agree with most of "Captiv8r"'s comments, but I believe
that when Tech Support puts a 50 Mb limit on, they are choosing an
arbitrary number based on their
assumptions of what the "average" resources of the user's
development machines might be ...
And that is the point that is often missed when discussing
what is "too big" - it is really about resources. Now, about that
"splitting things up" idea; if your PPT is 250 slides, you needn't
split up the PPT. Just open it as a new "Power Point Import"
project, but just
select
the first "X" slides for importing ... Captiv8r's 50 slide
suggestion is as good a place to start as any. If you have trouble
with that route, try fewer slides.
BUT keep in mind that many users seem to experience troubles
with specific objects (animations or transitions perhaps, and
certainly Flash SWFS, images, and other inserted objects. So if the
import fails, it may not be the "size" at all, but the inability of
Captivate to handle some objects (corrupted or otherwise) during
the import process.

  • Error message when uploading book for printing. All images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large to upload? What size is required and how do I reduce size in Aperture?

    I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?

    Hi Leonie,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are  around 1-3 mb each and  72 ppi. I think  I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
    Apple  talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
    Error message
    1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
    2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
    3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.

  • Whats going on when after i have put my new project it tells me that cannot burn because my encode it too large for DVD

    I am trying to convert a video into a dVd i did one and it will not play on my blueray, but, at least it will do on my computer.  Now i am trying to do a different dvd and it tells me after i have downlowed my new project, that i cannot burn the idvd because it is too large check my encoded?

    The reason why your DVD will not play maybe your choice of disk.
    Was it a DVD + or DVD - ?
    Always use a good quality DVD blank disk, at least Verbatim and check what format your player will play.
    Next, to achieve the best quality export from iMovie, Share your Project to Media Browser.
    Then open iDVD and use the media button (bottom right) to import your movie.
    A possible reason that you are getting a too large error message is the time length of your DVD.
    The default setting in iDVD for Encoding is Best Performance (60mins) and you need to change this to either High Qualirty or Professional Quality which will allow more to be encoded on the disc (120 mins).
    iDVD > Project > Project Info > Encoding to change this setting and see on the Capacity slider if your project will fit.
    Otherwise check how much free space you have on your HD.
    Z.
    PS Slow your burn speed down to x4 for error free results.

  • Cannot Convert PDF to Word because the "document is too large". What can I do?

    I am trying to convert a document to word from PDF, but acrobat.com keeps returning a message that the 'document is too large'. What are some our options?

  • "This file attachment is too large to be viewed." What?

    I created a 15.6MB m4v for iPhone using compressor to test being able to email clips to a client for review on his iphone. A couple of strange things. First, when the message is received, the attachment now reads that it is 20.6MB in size. Second, when I attempt to open it on my iPhone... it gives me the message "This file attachment is too large to be viewed."
    Is there a limitation with the iPhone here that I didn't know about?

    Yes this is a public board, which shouldn't exclude common courtesy.
    This is a user to user help forum only and fellow users that post answers to questions or provide suggestions here volunteer their time to do so.
    I don't have a problem with you providing what you think is a shortcoming, but there is nothing wrong with me providing a reasons or reasons why it isn't a shortcoming for the most part. If that is being "needlessly defensive", then you are needlessly interested only in thoughts that agree with your own.
    What does that mean exactly? I wasn't suggesting they would, they usually use their own dedicated mail servers... which they can set to unlimited if they wish... which is why putting the limitation on the iphone pulls the rug out from under them if they want to use the iPhone AND send/receive large files via email. Pretty simple equation really.
    What it means exactly is, you were talking about business use and you mentioned Gmail having a 20MB overall message size limit. Yes many businesses use their own dedicated server, which they can set to unlimited if they wish, but this will only work internally and with other businesses that do the same.
    I'll bet you dollars to donuts the overwhelming majority of businesses with or without their own dedicated email server do not have an unlimited overall message size limit. Some may have a larger overall message size limit than 10MB, but 10MB is a very common limit.
    So any way in which the iPhone can become more useful as a business device is a good thing... isn't it?
    Certainly, but what you consider as being more useful may or many not match what I or someone else may consider as being more useful and there is nothing wrong with that.
    Perhaps you will never need or otherwise enjoy landscape email, full screen attached video playback, or attachments greater than 10MB... but to not see the obvious improvement as a business device had these features been implemented in 2.0.2 just doesn't make any sense to me.
    I have been discussing overall message size limits only. I haven't mentioned anything about these other items.

  • I placed my aperture library on a 1 TB external drive (the file is 300 GB) and Aperture churns and churns but will not open the file. I don't know if the file is too large or if it is the external drive or what? any ideas? Smaller files will open.

    If this is an external USB drive, you must understand that USB is really, really slow. There may be nothing wrong except for that.
    In my opinion, USB external drives are only acceptable for backups, and to get "near Hard Drive" performance, you need FireWire.

  • What does the error message 413  Header Length too Large mean?

    I was in the process of downloading the PSE 13 and PRE 13 for students and teachers.
    Mozilla is up to date with version 37.0.2
    Windows 8.1
    64-bit
    I successfully downloaded PSE 13 utilizing the alternative download link with 2 files.
    I successfully installed PSE 13.
    The problem is that the download page timed out before I could download both files to for Premiere Elements.
    I successfully downloaded LS26_win64.7z, but could not download the .exe file for it because the page timed out, and will not give me access again.
    I tried going back into my account and starting over, but now when I click on the download button, I receive the message
    413 Header Length Too Large.
    I got the same error message when I tried to use the Akamai download installer. I could never download it.
    What does it mean?
    I know that my system meets the criteria.
    I've opened and began using PSE 13.
    But am stuck on how to finish downloading Premiere?
    Help.

    Thank you for your help.
    You provided the link for PSE, but I have already downloaded that one.

  • H.264 compression gives gradients hard edges, lossless filesizes are too large for uploading, whats

    When I've rendered a HD movie from After Effects CS3 with lossless animation settings the quality is beautiful and crisp but I want to upload my videos to sites like Vimeo so that I can use them in my website http://www.splurj.com and the file size is way too large (in the region of 6GB).
    When I've rendered the lossless video using H.264 compression the filesize is great but it losses quality. The colours become slightly saturated and any gradients have a hard edge.
    Can anyone tell me the best compression software (or way of rendering direct from After Effects) to maintain quality and reduce filesize significantly?

    >Can anyone tell me the best compression software (or way of >rendering direct from After Effects) to maintain quality and reduce >filesize significantly?
    As per the others' suggestions: Export a Photo-JPEG encoded file from AE, then use external tools. Additional programs not yet mentioned include ProCoder, SUPER©, TMPEG Enc., but QT Pro would be a good investment to start with and probably the cheapest solution to the immediate problem. It also provides additional ways of embedding extra info in the clip and adjust a few problems post-encode, if necessary.
    >With AE, since the "next" frame doesn't really exist yet, it can't
    >possibly provide the best compression.
    That's a bit oversimplifying the case. If exported via the specific MPEG-2/MPEG-4/H.264/FLV writers, the frames will be buffered in the writers themselves until valid (sub-)GOPs can be written. The only thing it doesn't do, is to analyze beyond the bounds of such a packet, hence the efficiency of the underlying algorithms is impaired. And of course it depends on what you plan on doing with the stuff. Even with its limitations, the process works quite well for DVD/BluRay work for instance...

  • What can I do for "File size too large"?

    Spent 9 hrs creating a slideshow that I saved.  Closed PSE 11 and reopened and can no longer find the slideshow.  When I select Find, Media type, Project, nothing appears, but there is a gray box in my grid that says "File size too large".  Is this my slideshow and if so how can I recover it?  I am sick as this was a large time investment for my daughter's wedding which is very soon!  Please help if you can.

    I don't know anything about slide shows but if a picture is too large this is just a warning message, if I click a pic with this message it does show up. Have you tried clicking the thumbnail?

  • When I attempt to download the lastest OS iPhone update to iTunes, the file is too large for my internet carrier will allow.  My max is 400 MB and the file is what about 583 MB?  Options?  The same is true for the iTunes updates.

    When I attempt to download the lastest version of the iphone 4 OS update or the itunes one for the desktop, the file is too large for my internet carrier.  It will allow only a 400 MB download versus the download size of 583 MB.  Suggestions?

    You can download on your work computer, then place the file on your desktop of your home computer, if you want. Then:
    Launch iTunes
    Option+Click (Mac OS X) or Shift+Click (Windows) the Update button
    Select the IPSW update file you just placed on your desktop
    Let iTunes update your hardware to the latest version
    The .ipsw file is located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Windows Vista & Windows 7: \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it.

  • I have a 500 GB hard drive and a 1TB Time Capsule running on a MacBook Pro.  It was all working well until the MacBook went in for a repair a week or so ago.  Since then, TC will not perform a backup;  instead, it says the backup is too large for the disk

    Since having my MacBook Pro repaired (for a video problem) Time Capsule returns the following message:  "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 428.08 GB but only 192.14 GB are available."
    I notice that there is also a new sparse bundle.
    Since TC has my ONLY backup (going back about 4 years) I am reluctant to wipe it and start over fresh as I am afraid of losing files. 
    Is there a way of dealing with this?
    I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    The repair shop likely replaced a major circuit board on your MacBook Pro, so Time Machine thinks that you have a "new" computer and it wants to make a new complete backup of your Mac.
    You are going to have to make a decision to either add another new Time Capsule....or USB drive to your existing Time Capsule....and in effect start over with a new backup of your Mac and then move forward again.
    For "most" users, I think this is probably the best plan because you preserve all your old backups in case you need them at some point, and you start over again with a new Time Capsule so you have plenty of room for years of new backups.
    Or, as you have mentioned, you have the option of erasing the Time Capsule drive and starting all over again. The upside is that you start over and have plenty of room for new backups. The downside is that you lose years of backups.
    Another option....trying to manually delete old backups individually....is tricky business....and very time consuming. To get an idea of what is involved here, study this FAQ by Pondini, our resident Time Capsule and Time Machine expert on the Community Support area. In particular, study the pink box.
    http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/12.html
    Once you look through this, I think you may agree that this type of surgery is not for the faint of heart.  I would suggest that you consider this only if one of the other options just cannot work for you.

  • Error Message "Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.

    I get the below error when I try to download a response as a .pdf:
    Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.
    Please go to the "Design Tab" and adjust the contents, the font-size, or divide the flagged items into multiple elements.
    Any ideas?

    Go to the Design Tab and make sure you switch to the Page View (look the bottom right corner of the screen)
    Once you see the Page View (used to see what the PDF will look like for your response) scroll down and you might see which object is being trucated (it will be covered by a red rectangle). This often happen if you have a element that is too big to fit on one page (like a single or multi choice field).
    You will need to adjust your element so that nothing is trucated.

  • Cannot decrypt RSA encrypted text : due to : input too large for RSA cipher

    Hi,
    I am in a fix trying to decrypt this RSA encrypted String ... plzz help
    I have the encrypted text as a String.
    This is what I do to decrypt it using the Private key
    - Determine the block size of the Cipher object
    - Get the array of bytes from the String
    - Find out how many block sized partitions I have in the array
    - Encrypt the exact block sized partitions using update() method
    - Ok, now its easy to find out how many bytes remain (using % operator)
    - If the remaining bytes is 0 then simply call the 'doFinal()'
    i.e. the one which returns an array of bytes and takes no args
    - If the remaining bytes is not zero then call the
    'doFinal(byte [] input, int offset, in inputLen)' method for the
    bytes which actually remained
    However, this doesnt work. This is making me go really crazy.
    Can anyone point out whats wrong ? Plzz
    Here is the (childish) code
    Cipher rsaDecipher = null;
    //The initialization stuff for rsaDecipher
    //The rsaDecipher Cipher is using 256 bit keys
    //I havent specified anything regarding padding
    //And, I am using BouncyCastle
    String encryptedString;
    // read in the string from the network
    // this string is encrypted using an RSA public key generated earlier
    // I have to decrypt this string using the corresponding Private key
    byte [] input = encryptedString.getBytes();
    int blockSize = rsaDecipher.getBlockSize();
    int outputSize = rsaDecipher.getOutputSize(blockSize);
    byte [] output = new byte[outputSize];
    int numBlockSizedPartitions = input.length / blockSize;
    int numRemainingBytes = input.length % blockSize;
    boolean hasRemainingBytes = false;
    if (numRemainingBytes > 0)
      hasRemainingBytes = true;
    int offset = 0;
    int inputLen = blockSize;
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
    for (int i = 0; i < numBlockSizedPartitions; i++) {
      output = rsaDecipher.update(input, offset, blockSize);
      offset += blockSize;
      buf.append(new String(output));
    if (hasRemainingBytes) {
      //This is excatly where I get the "input too large for RSA cipher"
      //Which is suffixed with ArrayIndexOutofBounds
      output = rsaDecipher.doFinal(input,offset,numRemainingBytes);
    } else {
      output = rsaDecipher.doFinal();
    buf.append(new String(output));
    //After having reached till here, will it be wrong if I assumed that I
    //have the properly decrypted string ???

    Hi,
    I am in a fix trying to decrypt this RSA encrypted
    String ... plzz helpYou're already broken at this point.
    Repeat after me: ciphertext CANNOT be safely represented as a String. Strings have internal structure - if you hand ciphertext to the new String(byte[]) constructor, it will eat your ciphertext and leave you with garbage. Said garbage will fail to decrypt in a variety of puzzling fashions.
    If you want to transmit ciphertext as a String, you need to use something like Base64 to encode the raw bytes. Then, on the receiving side, you must Base64-DEcode back into bytes, and then decrypt the resulting byte[].
    Second - using RSA as a general-purpose cipher is a bad idea. Don't do that. It's slow (on the order of 100x slower than the slowest symmetric cipher). It has a HUGE block size (governed by the keysize). And it's subject to attack if used as a stream-cipher (IIRC - I can no longer find the reference for that, so take it with a grain of salt...) Standard practice is to use RSA only to encrypt a generated key for some symmetric algorithm (like, say, AES), and use that key as a session-key.
    At any rate - the code you posted is broken before you get to this line:byte [] input = encryptedString.getBytes();Go back to the encrypting and and make it stop treating your ciphertext as a String.
