Will Presenter eventually be compatable with non-PowerPoint presentation software?

I can see the advantages to having a PowerPoint plugin, but
extending capatability to something like OpenOffice would be a
great way to pull in users from all OS and avoid forcing Connect
users to purchase MS Office.
Or, perhaps, an Adobe-forged online/local editor for
Presenter presentations would make more sense to avoid the use of
third-party apps altogether. Just wondering if this is something
that is being looked into...
Thanks.

This post was 2005 and no answer till now???!!!??? where are the admins? and where Adobe?!
I wanted to test presenter 7 because I general realy like adobe products, but I won't buy, just because Adobe wan't it, Microsoft Office products. I am using OpenOffice for more than 2 years and I am realy happy with it. So no reason to change.
I realy have to say, that I don't understand the adobe politic to exclude open source software.

I have an iMac with 10.4.11 and a Mac Air 10.6.7. Will the Extreme be compatable with the 10.4.11?

I have an iMac with 10.4.11 and a Mac Air 10.6.7. Will the Extreme be compatable with the 10.4.11?

10.4.11 Macs will have Kernel Panics when trying to use Dual Band Airport Extreme Base Station. There are a few forums here dealing with it. I just purchased an Airport Extreme Base Station and spent two days now figuring out why the old iMac G5 running 10.4.11 (Tiger) was Kernel Panicing. There is a way that I am testing now that seems to be working. I will post the link in a minute when I find it. Other solution is to upgrade to 10.5 .
Here is the post
Aug 22, 2010 2:09 PM (in response to Acin)
Greetings... I have just found a resolution to this problem, at lease if you're using one of the newer Dual Band Airport Extreme base stations. This fix was provided by an AppleCare representative named Rebecca, and I am deeply in her debt. To review: MY PROBLEM - After installing a new Dual Band Airport Extreme in July 2010, I began to have frequent kernel panics with my older laptops running Tiger (10.4.11). My newer Intel/Leopard MacBook Pro ran fine with the new base station, but these older Power PC Macs with Tiger just crashed again and again. Pulling the Airport Card was the only fix. I tried every conceivable software and network fix; nothing helped. THE SOLUTION - The AppleCare rep talked me through this, but I'm pretty sure this was the procedure. Please note that I cannot guarantee that I have not forgotten a step! But I am fairly sure this is it. (If an Apple specialist is reading, please check this!) Keep in mind, this will only work if you have a dual-band Airport base station. I performed this on a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.4, with Airport Utility version 5.5.1 and firmware 7.5. 1. Launch Airport Utility.
2. With the dual-band base station selected, click Manual Setup.
3. Click the Wireless tab.
4. Click the "Wireless Network Options" button near the bottom.
5. Check the box that says "5 GHz Network," then enter a new network name in the Name field. (Your existing network name appears there now. Just delete it and type a new one.)
6. Click Done. That dialogue will close.
7. Now click Update. The Airport base station will now take about a minute to reboot. Here's what happens when you perform these steps... The utility changes your existing Airport network to 2.5 Ghz, and then creates a new 5 Ghz network with the new name. (It will apply the same password to both.) You will use the 5 Ghz network, the new name, for any new wireless computers using Leopard or newer OS. You will use the 2.5 Ghz network (bearing the original network name) for the older laptops running Tiger. This fix worked immediately, no problems. The issue is that Tiger does not perform well with 5 Ghz networks, and this causes the kernel panics. I now have two old G4 laptops running Tiger, both using my new Airport base station with the 2.5 Ghz network and running perfectly. At the same time, my new machine is using the 5 Ghz network at the same time. It seems quite stable. Good luck, and I hope this info is useful.

Will airport express be compatable with windows vista

will airport express be compatable with windows vista

vista will not be compatable because I do not have the capability in vista to download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows, which is a requirement for the ethernet connection to the Airport Express. Is that correct?
No, sorry for the confusion.
You would need 5.6.1 on the PC only if you intend to use that to initially setup and configure the Express. I understand that you will be using the Mac to setup the Express, correct?
5.6.1 is not needed if all the Vista machine will be doing is connecting using Ethernet or wireless to the network. You don't have to install anything on the Vista machine if all it will be doing is connecting to the Express.

Options re: Nike+iPod compatibility with non-nano iPods?

Hi,
I'm a runner who bought a fifth generation ipod (mainly for running) in late 2005. I am interested in the Nike+iPod system but was disappointed to learn it is only compatible with iPod nano, though many nanos use OS 10.3, like the fifth gen. ipod.
Any suggestions beyond selling the one I have and buying an ipod nano?
Thanks

{quote:title=Jeff Bryan wrote:}
The compatibility of the Nike kit with the nano has more to do with the nano being more suitable for running as it has flash memory and not a hard drive (no skipping or moving parts), and is lighter and smaller too. Much more suitable for activity sports. It has nothing to do with the Mac OS version.
Thank you for the reply, Jeff.
I appreciate your points and I don't mean to belabor the issue. I meant to say I purchased the iPod in late '06, which makes it just over a year old. Technically the Nike+ kit was available then, but it was basically brand new and I don't recall being aware of it.
To respond in support of the 5th gen ipod, personally I've run with it well over 500 miles, up to 13+ miles at a time, over steep hills and through heavy rain and skipping has not been an issue once. The same is true for a few other runners I know who use this model. While the nano is smaller, the 5th gen is a good size as well, and a marked improvement over older devices runners used happily for years, so it is far from a critical issue.
There's nothing you can do other than replace your 5th gen with a nano. There are no options to make your 5th gen work with the Nike kit.
I understand and appreciate Apple's making an iPod tailored to running, but logically activity sports would have been considered a key use from the first iPod, and the pre-nano models are suited to this very well also. I am a usually-happy and consistent Apple customer, am just once in awhile annoyed when good (and relatively new) products are not included for compatibility with new systems. It seems to me that the points you mention, while logical, are far from critical, and that a product less than 18 months old using the same OS could easily have been made compatible with the Nike kit.
Thank you again for the reply, I'll forward my thoughts to iPod feedback.

Problems with Converted PowerPoint Presentation in Keynote

Hello,
I recently loaded a 29Mb Powerpoint file into Keynote on my 64Gb iPad 2. Whenever I launch Keynote, the 29 Mb presentation loads automatically and I cannot access any of my other Keynote presentations. I've tried powering off and stopping the Keynote app to no avail. In addition, I cannot load the Keynote Menu options at the top of the screen while my 29 Mb presentation is active. Has anyone else encounted this type of behavior in Keynote when converting large Powerpoint files on an iPad?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I agree with you that it seems the GB iLife preview file is not updating as one would expect it to. Sharing the file to iTunes then importing to Keynote does work, without all the extra preferences changing and the extra save. I would think that as more people switch to Keynote from PowerPoint, those who like the ability to sync slide groups to multiple audio files will find GarageBand a great way to do this. But the export of edited files from GB to Keynote should be easier.

ATOS - Compatibility with non mac machines

Not sure if this is the right forum.
I am trying to find some information on whether ATOS (address to symbols) can be used on a non-Mac Unix machine like Sun Solaris (Sparc or X86) and Linux.
Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for your quick response, Neil. I am aware it's created by Apple. I was hoping it will be usable on other Unix environments.
I am trying to set up a batch process to run ATOS on some crashes. I don't have an extra Mac handy. I may have access to some spare Sun Sparc machines. I was wondering if I copy the tool and required symbol files etc it will work.
The man page generally says ATOS is Mac OS X developer tool. I don't know the details of the low level ties with the operating system, but thought if we give it required symbols it might just work? Is it worth a try? Or you definitely know it's not going to work. In that case i don't want to waste time tracking down the Sparc machines.

No compatability with older printer hardware/software and no windows media center

What can I say except that Microsoft is the only company that releases an inferior product after years of having a great product. Windows 8.1 and 8 would be fine if it were compatible with old hardware i.e. printers and had Windows Media Center. This is
now a very bare bones product. I certainly won't be paying the $129 price tag for Windows Pro 8.1 pack, just to get media center - not when there's so many free alternatives around for that. In future, don't purchase a photo quality printer that costs a fortune.
Buy a nasty cheap one with inexpensive cartridges, as eventually you won't be able to install the older software for your far superior printer i.e. Epson stylus photo 1270. Sounds like a collusion with both Microsoft and Printer manufacturers to get
folk purchasing hardware they don't want or need, while they're older hardware works just fine - it's the new operating systems that don't. No thank you.

Hi,
Please understand that Microsoft's partners have shared clear concerns over the costs associated with codec licensing for traditional media playback, especially as Windows 8 enables an unprecedented variety of form factors. Windows has addressed these concerns
in the past by limiting availability of these experiences to specialized “media” or “premium” editions.
That's why the Media center is separated for additional cost.
For the compatibility thing about older device, you can use the compatible mode to install the related driver on Windows 8 and 8.1 to get it work.

I need to download firefox 4.x I teach online and Firefox versions newer than 4.x are NOT compatable with the online teaching software (Blackboard).

Please see this web site for more information about why Firefox 5.0 and 6.o will NOT work with Blackboard.
http://www.centralaz.edu/Home/Academics/Online_Learning/First_Things_First_-_Getting_Started/Operating_System_and_Browser_Requirements.htm

Apparently not any longer. this link takes me to a page telling me 3.6 isout of date and then that the newone isn't compatible with my operating system. but i think it means with my PowerPC processors.
Surely there are copies of 3.6 in the server somewhere. i know i'm behind,but i'm not a Luddite. it's just that this PowerPC mac still works great for the stuff i do.

Total calls presented does not match with the calls presented value in CSQ activity report (by interval)

Hi,
We encountered a mismatch details between the call presented value and total call presented value. I attached the report here. If you count the number of calls presented and handled there are 2 calls but why is it the total calls only count 1. Where did the other call go?
I look for some possible related problems but the answer only point out to a bug. The version of UCCX is 8.5.1 SU 3 and the bug was solved in version 7.0.
Hope you can help me with this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Rona

It looks like it may be an issue with the report file itself and not the report data. You can see both calls are shown in the report but the summary information doesn't appear to be calculating correctly. If you have the Crystal Reports Developer toolset you can open the report file and verify that the report summary is using SUM instead of something like MAX/AVG, etc.

How will you share to idvd with the new iMovie software?

after i updated my iMovie, sharing to idvd is gone, how will i transfer my movie to a dvd now? I bought my macbook in early 2011, still have the dvd drive.

The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.

How far is the compatibility with PowerPoint and Keynote '09?

Hello everyone
I love making presentations and strangely while I'm an Apple fan the only thing I still didn't convert to is iWork
Keynote is the best presentation tool I ever saw. The problem is with playing the presentations in college or anywhere else.
I know that keynote is compatible with PowerPoint, but how far?
Will the beautiful transitions and animations on keynote work on PowerPoint? Alongside with the beautiful graphics, charts and backgrounds?
Thanks

I would say the compatibility is "just good enough". If you NEED to use it you will, but you don't want to ever NEED it.
You shoud think of the compatibility as being like trying to playback high resolution, color, widescreen, Dolby stereo content on a small black and white mono tv. There are some things that old telly just won't be capable of. Sure, you can see the motion and hear something, but you're ultimately limited by what you use to PLAYBACK the content, not what you used to CREATE it.
Because Keynote has features that PowerPoint doesn't, PowerPoint will never be able to playback exactly what you see in Keynote. The reverse is true as well.

PowerPoint presentations not working with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I have deployed Lync 2013 and Office Web Apps Server in order to share PowerPoint presentations. All te sharings are working fine (Desktop, Program, Whiteboard, Poll) but PowerPoint presentations.
I have re-installed Office Web Apps Server several times but it doesn't work:
Discovery URL is OK
Event IDs in Lync Server Event Viewer are OK
I have checked certificate and created it twice and that's not the problem (when tried to use a wrong certificate, the behaviour was different).
Tried aspnet_regiis but didn't worked.
Both Lync Server and Office Web Apps Server are updated.
Servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
I have tested both Lync 2013 and Lync 2013 Basic clients but no one works.
When I share a PowerPoint, I can see it follows the whole way through LyncShare, Lync Server and Office Web Apps Server. PowerPoint files get to Office Web Apps Server (different name but I can move then to other workstation and check
they are the files shared).
Clients begin showing a "Loading..." but end showing "Network connectivity lost or server too busy" (after 90 seconds more or less).
If I get URL from Lync-UccApi-0:
https://wacserver.domain/m/Presenter.aspx?a=0&e=true&WopiSrc=https%3A%2F%2Flyncpool.domain%2FDataCollabWeb%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2F11-1-90C848&access_token=AAMFEECCjUt7489YhSlhQY4GBWcGEIsJ8vG8JQH9w0g_TTTVe3aBEECCjUt7489YhSlhQY4GBWeCApwQgyBHjXVmSaUT70sAAlMNX4oAfTt5Nqgy5sJwqlLneNAxGYYIsFS5edC90AgIDURhdGFDb2xsYWJXZWI&<fs=FULLSCREEN&><rec=RECORDING&><thm=THEME_ID&><ui=UI_LLCC&><rs=DC_LLCC&>
If I put this URL in the browser, it turns black and shows "Loading..." and, after a long while, "PowerPoint Web App...", but it remains in this state (loading) without working.
In the Office Web Apps Server Event Viewer there are some errors related to other services I'm not using, as OneNote, or for Monitoring with the "PositiveDirect" and "NegativeDirect" tokens. Machine also answers it's
Unhealthy, but as I have read, this is not a problem.
In the ULS Logs I just see errors related to these events but logs for PowerPoint work fine. And IIS is answering with "200" (although there are a number of petitions that seem to be repeated:

It seems that something is not working between the clients and Office Web Apps Server. There is not a firewall and machines see each other. Certificate is accepted.
I have tried so many thing but none of them worked.
Does anybody have an idea?

Hi Thamara,
There is a HLB but I thought of that and tested both: with HLB and pointing just a Front End, without HLB. In both cases, results were the same.
