Will not close on another computer!

On my machine, on the last screen of the presentation, it
closes when I click the javascript button. For good measure, I have
the button give only one try and "continue" if the user doesn't get
it right. I've published it so it closes the project at the end. It
works perfectly ... until someone else tries it. Not only will it
not close, but the navigation "x" button does nothing either.
Mitigating factors may be that the presentation is full full
screen (no IE borders or controls), the HTML code that
automatically launches the presentation also closes the browser.
Suggestions?

Hi LJezsik
Closing windows in Captivate is quite often a troublesome
issue. Unfortunately there is simply no single "One size fits all"
way to close the window that works 100% of the time. I see many
users struggle with bits and pieces of different JavaScript code. I
even used to offer some of my own. But the fact remains that
regardless of what you do, you won't be guaranteed that the window
will close.
So here is my new approach. As you have already done,
configure the ending action to be that of closing the project. Then
I simply insert a button that points to the last slide. The user
clicks the button, the last slide is visited, and (key point coming
up here) *IF* the window is capable of being closed, it closes!
Plain and simple.
Cheers... Rick

  • I burned a DVD of a movie I bought in iTunes but it will not play on another computer

    I burned a few DVDs of some movies I purchased on iTunes....they play fine on my imac with iTunes, Quicktime or any other player but will not play at all on my friend's various PCs. Help? What did I do wrong. The friend said their computer asked for my "address"? They were reluctant to do that...What did I do wrong?...or are movies bought on iTunes copy protected??

    Thanks for getting back. I have the movies downloaded to my computer. I went to 'Get Info' and now I do see that they are Copy Protected. I was able to copy them to a DVD as I said. And to make sure I wasn't watching the original when I put the DVDs back in my computer for testing, I closed iTunes and used Qucktime to view them...and it worked. When I was burning them I got no warning that they were copy protected and went through the near hour it took to copy each one and it said I would be able to play it on 'any Apple or Windows computer..but not on a DVD player' and that was why I lent them to a friend to watch. But I guess if they are copy protected that was surely in vain. I wish I had gotten prompts telling me that, instead of wasting 5 DVDs and several hours..not to mention getting them to my friend and getting her all excited to see the films. Oh well...she will have to come over here to watch them. Thanks.

  • Purchased songs from one computer will not play on another computer???

    I have downloaded my Itunes files to my work computer, but the songs I purchased on my home computer will not play on my work computer. I get a message saying that the work computer is not authorized to play those songs. When I log in, the message says the computer is authorized...but the songs will still not play. What gives??

    Hey there,
    Are you using the same iTunes account from which the songs were purchased? If not, make sure you are signing into the same account and authorizing the computer under that account.
    Also, I would try deauthorizing the computer and then reauthorizing it to see if that helps. Or you may try signing out of your iTunes account, quitting iTunes, and then reopening it and signing back in and then deauthorize and then reauthorize.

  • Application will not close. I need help

    I have an application on my Mac that will not close. No windows of the app are visible, and when I try to open a new window, nothing happens. If I secondary click then click quit, nothing happens. I want to update my software to 10.7.1, but I can't because the application will not close, therefore the computer will not restart. How can I delete or uninstall this application while it is open?

    Have you gone to the apple menu and tried force quit?

  • My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

    My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas?  If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,,  Thanks!

    For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
    For other Disk repair remedies see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
    Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

  • The program will not close properly unless I turn off the computer.

    The program will not close properly. If I close it and then try to restart it I get a message saying that Firefox is already running.

    Even under normal circumstances it takes a few seconds after exiting Firefox before you can launch Firefox again successfully.
    But you're right, sometimes a zombie Firefox process lives on, consuming CPU cycles and memory long after all the user interface for it has disappeared. The zombie Firefox process blocks the launch of new ones. It's annoying, but there is a lighter-weight work-around than rebooting. If you key Del while holding down Ctrl and Alt (the old three-finger DOS reboot), either the Windows Task manager will pop up immediately or you can select it from a list of options. In the Windows Task Manager's Processes tab, you should be able to find "firefox.exe" in the Image Name column. (Left-clicking the Image Name column will sort the names alphabetically, and then you can scroll up or down looking for "f".) Left-click on that "firefox.exe" and then left-click the "End Process" box. A warning box should then pop up, asking if you're really sure you want to terminate the process. Answer Yes. Then wait a few seconds for disk activity to die down. Then re-launch Firefox as you would normally.

  • Itunes library will not close down all the way

    My iTunes library will not close down all the way.  When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.

    You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
    Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
    Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar).  Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it.   Any advice?

    Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced.  I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar.   I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says.    Help!

    Many thanks.  Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally.  Thank you.  I'll remember the option quit for force quite!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.  I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
    I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else. 
    Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer.  After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.  
    My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
    OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
    HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
    HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
    All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
    I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router).  All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues:  2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
    The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
    I have run virus scans and malware scans.  Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop.  What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer.  ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!
    I am at my wits end.  And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up.  I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed.  Also this is a time consumer.
    This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
    Help?
    Addendum:  I can scan using HP Printer Assistance.  I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.

  • Pages PDF documents does not open in another computer?

    Pages documents which I export to PDF does not open in another computer (Mac or PC).

    Pages is 4.05 version.
    Thanks!

    There is a bug in OSX 10.6.7 which damages pdf files using PostScript OpenType fonts.
    You will need to go back to the earlier OSX 10.6.6 by reinstalling from your Installer DVDs.
    Or only use TrueType OpenType fonts. Get info in FontBook to find out which is which.

  • My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

    My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

  • My Safari Windows will not close

    My safari windows will not close. I can use the internet fine, but safari will not allow me to close or minimize the window. This is also stopping me from shutting down my computer without removing the battery. Should I take it in to get repaired, or is it a setting on my computer that got turned on? Is anyone else having the same problem? Thank you! - Kristen

    Hi Kristen,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Which version of OS X are you using?
    For possible relief, go to your Finder. There, navigate to your User Account's Library>Preferences Folder. You'll see a file com.apple.safari.plist. Move it to the desktop and restart Safari.
    Please let me know if that changes anything.
