How do I update linked FM files without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?

Hi,
I'm using RH 10 with linked FM 11 files to create a WebHelp project and this is what happens when I do an update or force update of a linked file in the RH project:
After the update, the topic that contains updated content gets deleted from project TOC in RH.
After the update, any Map IDs assigned to the topic that contains the updated content are deleted.
Can someone please advise how to update a linked file without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?
Thanks a bunch!
Gabe

HI Gabe,
You will want to link the TOC from FM in your conversion settings, and set the map id's via TopicAlias markers in FM.

How do i update to itunes 11 without losing all my music

How do I update to Itunes 11 without losing all my stuff on my current itunes (10.6.3)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You won't lose songs when you update iTunes to the most recent version, but I recommend you to make a copy of your library in another folder. After updating, open iTunes and it will update the library to use it with the most recent version

HT4972 I have ipad version 4.3.2. I have music on there that I want to keep. when I go to itunes i cannot backup those music. how can i update to ios 7 without losing the music?

I have ipad version 4.3.2 and I want to update to ios7. However, I cannot backup my musics on itune. How can I update without losing my musics?

Updating will not cause you to lose data but things can always go wrong. You should definitely backup before you update. I assume you have music on the device that was not purchased in iTunes and synced with a different iTunes library. You can transfer these songs back to your computer with third party software such as TouchCopy.

How do I update slices in photoshop without losing the links in Dreamweaver??

Hi all,
I have designed a website in photoshop and everything is sailing smoothly. The only problem I have is that everytime I try to update the layout in photoshop I lose all the links I had put to the slices in dreamweaver. This happens even if am just adding a single word to the layout in photoshop and sav it for web. the website has many many links and everytime I update the site means I have to put the links on all over again and it is a chao as they are over 100 links....
Is there a way to update the layout in photoshop and still have the slices with their links in dreamweaver?? I also lose all my DIV tags when I update the site...
Please help

Sounds like you're exporting Save as type: HTML and Images, which will overwrite your modified HTML (anchors etc) in your web page every time.
When you export the slices, try exporting Save as type: Images Only, so that only the image get exported and your modified HTML (anchors etc) stays intact.
Provided your slice names and dimensions don't change, only the sliced images will update and your page layout will remain intact.

How do I transfer all my files without losing information?

Recently my computer crashed and I got a new one a month later. Previously, I had copied all my iTunes libraries and iPhone back ups to a hard drive but after getting a new computer, that hard drive wouldn't allow me to open it without formatting so I lost all my back ups.
Is there a way for me to connect my iPhone to a new computer and transfer things like pictures, apps, contacts etc.? If I do, will I lose the things I got in between the last back up and now? I have an iPhone edge if it helps?

What is an iPhone edge? I never heard of such a thing?
You can configure iTunes on the computer to not sync automatically. Do that first! Add at least one dummy contact and calendar entry to whatever program(s) you're going to sync those categories to. When you plug the phone in, you should be able to access it as a camera to retrieve photos. You can then 'transfer purchases' within itunes to get any items you've purchased on the phone into iTunes on the computer.
Any media that was not purchased on the phone itself is not transferable to the computer via iTunes. Sync is one way. The first time you sync, you will be warned that media on the phone will be deleted.
When contacts sync, you should be given the option of merging the data on the computer and the phone provided you have at least one entry on the computer already.

How do I update my system software without losing my older Adobe applications?

Hi. I purchased and own InDesign CS5.5, Illustrator 10.0.3 & Photoshop CS6. I want to update my iMac system software which currently runs Mac OS X version 10.6.8. But if I do this, I think it will render my expensive software unuseable.
I cannot reach a real human from Adobe to inquire about my options in this matter. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Thank you!
-Kathleen !

Yes, lots
Your suspicion is correct. If you update your OS it is almost guaranteed to keep at least some of your old Adobe apps from functioning. This is especially true if you move to Yosemite. Telling us your target OS is important, because I think much (maybe all?) of your software would still work under Lion, although many people report issues when upgrading the OS while leaving Adobe apps installed.
In your shoes, what I'd do (and what I always recommend) is that you figure out some way to keep Snow Leopard going, to house your old Adobe apps. There are two common ways to do this:
1) Take a snapshot of your entire Snow Leopard install, back it up to external disk, format your drive, install Yosemite, then install VirtualBox or other virtualization host, and run your Snow Leopard snapshot there. The performance hit on running Snow Leopard as an app inside of Yosemite is not that bad, assuming you have enough RAM. "Enough" here is 16 gigs. It's probably doable at 8, but I can't say for certain.
2) Split your disk. You can take your current hard drive and split it in half, or some other fraction. Leave Snow Leopard as-is, then install Yosemite on the other half. You can hold down a key at bootup to choose which OS you want to run.
There are plenty of other options, but it's hard to guess what you need if we don't know what other apps you are running, the OS you want to upgrade to, why you're upgrading, and so on.

Is It Possible To Update to iOS 5 Without Losing Content?

Hi everyone,
My iPhone 3GS was originally synced with my Power Mac G3 iTunes 8.2.1. The hardware was pretty old and wouldn't allow for updates. I have recently purchased the mac mini (mid July 2011) and updated to the latest iTunes, 10.5. I was trying to update my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 software but iTunes warned me that my music and apps would be lost because it wasn't originally synced with this version of iTunes or something of the sort. How can I update to iOS 5 without losing any apps and my music which wasn't purchased but imported into iTunes 8.2.1?
Thanks everyone for your help...

Hi miller.p and thanks for responding,
That's a whole nother issue...I have the Power Mac G3 and mac mini connected to one monitor and keyboard using a KVM Switch. I tried using an ethernet crossover cable to transfer the data from the G3 to the mini using Migration Assistant but it says the G3 needs to update to Lion. Mac OS 10.4.11 is the latest software update for the G3.
I have the G3 data backed up on a Western Digital MyBook external HD via firewire 400 but the mini is firewire 800 however, I did see a 9-pin to 6-pin FireWire 800/400 cable by Belkin. Could that be used to transfer the data from the HD to the mini? Sorry if that was too much information...I will check out the link. Thanks...Oh, what about the apps? They are all free downloads, do I have to download them again r does the same apply for them as the music?

Update links in file created based on the template page

Hello everyone:
a) I have problems when update links in files crated based on
a template page.
I read Dreamwaver (DW) help menu. Seems to me Dreamwaver is
smart enough to update links based on correct file structure.
I created a template file based on a sample page. Template
file saved to the template folder. Then I crated few pages based on
the template. I checked links in new files and found that link
structures are based on template folder, not based on files current
folder position.
Please give me some suggestions on how to correct this
problem. If you know some good online tutorial or documentations
please share with me.
b) Can DW template update Navigation bar links correctly
based on relative document path?
I have Navbars imported from Fireworks into DW. Files crated
based on template are not updating pop-up menu links correctly. I
manually updated every links. It is time consuming and

This means that you are entering the links manually, not
using the Property
inspector and browsing to the target file. You should do it
this way until
you understand how templates work. All links in a template
file should
(usually) be one of three kinds -
1. Document relative BASED ON THE TEMPLATE, e.g.,
<a href="../whatever....
2. Root relative, e.g.,
<a href="/whatever....
3. Absolute, e.g.,
<a href=''
http://www.example.com/whatever....
Anything else will always result in the Template folder being
placed in the
path for the link when you create a child page.
> b) Can DW template update Navigation bar links correctly

Yes, of course.
> I have Navbars imported from Fireworks into DW.
This could easily be one of your problems. Those menus are
definitely
broken and should never be used.

HT1414 How do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing all of my photos and videos and contacts?

how do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing my contacts photos and videos??

Use the device as designed.
Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be regularly copied off the device to a computer.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
If the device has been used as designed then at most, only a miniscule amount of data is at risk. That data being pics/vids taken since the last time they were copied off the device. Also at risk is app data created since the last backup to iTunes or iCloud.
If the device is in recovery mode and it has not been used as designed, it is too late to salvage the data.
