I had this exact question:
Problem with \only and alignment of graphics (pdf) in beamer
And found the third answer the nicest (in that it worked on the first try):
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/184533/73454
Doing something like:
\includegraphics<1>[scale=0.7]{pics/List-0.pdf}
Now my problem is that the above although gives a nicely formatted pdf it does however give out erros on compilation (I'm a bit fuzzy on this I'm running latex through the gedit plugin):
graphics `<' not found
So even though it works as I'd like, is there a reason / way to get rid of the error message?
PS. I'm a complete newbie in beamer so please excuse my ignorance.

EDIT2:


usepackagemainly because one of those may be the cause, though not sure how that kind of stuff really works... let me know if the edited question is ok or if you want more info. Thank you! – evan54 Mar 03 '15 at 17:41
