Apparent Bitfile corruption in VI

I was writing a small Host VI to test certain FPGA problems we've been having in the last time.
Test was working fine, and I was refining things step by step. Then I started getting errors "If using external clocks blah blah blah" and was getting errors writing controls in the FPGA code but reading the indicators was working fine. I tried restarting LV, restarting the hardware and nothing was able to remedy the problem.
I finally switched Bitfile (in my "Open FPGA Reference" node) and suddenly the problems went away. I changed BACK again and things worked fine.
This is a very worrying behaviour. I have both VI and Bitfile on a shared network path and the source for the host VI is NOT set to seperate compiled code. During testing, every 8-12 times I re-run the VI after making trivial changes the Bitfile fails to work as expected.
Seeing how we're trying to nail down errors which are occurring approximately 1% of system restarts, this is a VERY worrying sign. Anybody got any experience with this? I'm using LV 2012 SP1 on WinXP running in a Virtualbox VM which in turn runs on a Win7 64-bit machine. My XP machine has the 3GB switch with USERVA set to 2900.

As soon as I see the problem again I'll send a copy of the corrupted VI so that it can be analysed to see what's wrong. I'll also send a copy of a non.corrupted VI as comparison. How about that?
It doesn't happen VERY often, but as soon as it happens again I'll make sure to post.

Moving a message to a folder corrupts the folder

Any time I move a message from one folder to another, the destination folder apparently becomes corrupted. I say this because I can "repair" the folder and that works - until I move another message into it.
Symptoms: I can see the message header in the message list pane, but cannot see any content in the message pane, nor does any content appear if I open the message in a tab. Sometimes repairing the folder once brings the message back, but the view is raw data (with header information and html tags); in this case, repairing it a second time fixes that problem. The message does automatically show as "read" after the requisite time period. Compacting the folder has resulted in the loss of the message completely (though only from the folder; it was still in the archive).
I have deleted the global-messages-db.sqlite file and recreated the index - no change.
Running Thunderbird 24.5.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.4, 3.2.0-64-generic kernel. My main e-mail source is an imap account. Apparently the problem does not exist when receiving mail in a pop account (at least I haven't been able to recreate it with minimal testing).
Any help would be very much appreciated.

So... i can NOT move a message (received via IMAP) to a folder without corrupting the folder (sometimes I can see the message header, sometimes not, but the message body comes up blank). So before moving a message to a folder I have to "repair" the folder, then move the message, then "repair" the folder again. Having to do that for any and every e-mail message I want to save is becoming... tedious.
One suggestion was to compact the folders; that happens automatically. Just to be sure, I've compacted a folder and then moved a message in - same problem.
Another was to make the folders smaller, so I moved a lot of messages (literally thousands, bordering on ten thousand or more) to the "Local Folders" section - no help there either.
The article in the answer from finitarry suggested using a tool to break the folder into 500 message chunks (so I could look for the corruption). Perhaps I misread the article, but it seemed to be looking for the raw files - hence my listing of the file structure for my profile. I have no idea which one to use for that. Editing text files - not a problem, and I do have an editor that will handle large files (vim).
If there is a way to export everything (and keep the folder structure) I can move all of the messages to Local Folders, export, and then import (assuming there is a chance that would fix things).

Lightroom 5 corrupting files

Hello all - I've read on the forums that some users have experienced file corruption they attribute to Lightroom, while others in response insist Lightroom cannot alter an original raw file in any way. That said, it sure seems to me that Lightroom is somehow corrupting some of my Nikon NEF files.
This appears typically as lines of "ripped", blocky and unregistered color across the image left to right in horizontally formatted NEF files, as an example. Some portion of the image may also be missing and appears white on screen. These were files shot in the field and originally imported to a laptop, backed up to external drives, and one of those drives used as the source for import into my desktop editing machine. The corruption occurs after ingest into the desktop, and seems to happen randomly.
On occasion I am able to discard the preview for the corrupted file and regenerate a preview, which in turn reveals the image is in fact okay. However, as I encountered this afternoon, the regenerated preview results in no change to the apparent file corruption. I took this file into One One Photo Suite software, and it originally showed a preview JPG as non corrupt but when I selected the image to edit full screen it would not read the file. I took the same file then into View NX software where its preview again appeared fine in the grid view, then fine again when I brought the file up on full screen to edit. I output a TIF version of the file from View NX and the output TIF exhibited the same visual corruption as I found initially in Lightroom. When back in View NX, I select the RAW button in the upper left corner - this seems to generate a new preview in View NX and indeed the new preview file appears corrupt.
The original file on the laptop and on its external backup drive check out okay - I re-ingested them to a test folder on the desktop, and they read fine in View NX and in Lightroom. So the problem occurs on my desktop sometime after ingest from the laptop (I know this because the file was appeared a-okay after that laptop to desktop ingest, but now - a couple of days later - it is corrupt on the desktop harddrive).
I've checked and rechecked the desktop harddrive (a 4tb drive) and it checks out okay.
It sure seems to me that Lightroom must read the original NEF file in order to extract metadata as well as the JPG preview file from it. I don't see any other way for Lightroom to bring that information into its catalog, so my assumption therefore is that Lightroom in fact accesses the original NEF file to do this. If it accesses it at least reads the file and my thought is that action must somehow corrupt the file data on random images, or perhaps in the process of extracting metadata and writing sidecar XMP files, as I've set my system up to do that by default.
BTW this has occurred most recently on D7100 camera files as well as my new D810 camera files. The file in question came out of the D810.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm using Lightroom - latest version 5.7 (on both laptop and desktop) - to ingest from cards into laptop. I then output a catalog containing the recent shoot to the laptop's external backup drive, take that drive to the desktop, connect via USB 3.0 and use Lightroom on the desktop to import the catalog to the desktop.
Here's a link to the corrupted NEF file in a dropbox folder: Dropbox - VisWild-Moab-RD-120514-1074.NEF
and a link to a TIF version of the same corrupted file: Dropbox - VisWild-Moab-RD-120514-1074.TIF
and a link to the uncorrupted version of the NEF file pulled from the laptop backup external drive (renamed to "...1074a.nef" so as not to overwrite the n.g. file in the same dropbox folder): Dropbox - VisWild-Moab-RD-120514-1074a.NEF

Corrupt Image file stuck in Camera roll - please help

I downloaded a background the other day for my iP4, and went to import it to iPhoto today. It apparently is corrupt (it says it's a JPEG but iPhoto says it can't be read) and also is unopenable on the phone itself. So it basically wont leave my Camera Roll nor will it open on the phone or on the computer.
I downloaded iPhone Explorer for my Macbook and "deleted" the file and its data in MISC but now it is just a black thumbnail. The photo whether how it originally looked as a thumbnail or the black thumbnail it is now can never be opened on the screen. Therefore I never could delete it from the camera roll "normally" and still cannot.
I just restored my phone hoping the Camera Roll would perhaps delete itself. Sadly, it did not, but it was worth a try. Is there a way to access a previous backup from let's say last week before I saved this photo? A delete from iPhoto also isn't working.
Also, the phone was never jailbroken, etc. It's in tip-top shape, except for this annoying corrupt file.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Photos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. When restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, what is available in your iPhone's backup in regards to the Camera Roll is restored with it.
iTunes has a single backup for the iPhone which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. A new backup is created when restoring your iPhone with iTunes and I believe a new backup is created when installing a firmware update. The previous backups remain available to select.
Go to iTunes > Preferences and check under the Devices tab for the available backups.
You may need to end up restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.

Best way to restore corrupted catalog

The catalog apparently got corrupted in PSE 12 when I attempted to move some items from C to an external drive, and the program crashed during that process. The last backup in PSE was about 3 weeks ago. I also have an Acronis backup of C drive from a couple days before the failed "move" of files.
I discovered the problem when trying to run a new full backup: it got to 76% after 18 hours and created a partial backup that was 759 GB plus. The prior backup was only 309 GB. There have not been more that 2 GB of additions since the last backup. The only other change I know of is the failed "move" of files within PSE from C to the external drive where all of the other photo files reside.
Should I try to simply copy and paste the Acronis version of catalog and replace corrupted catalog? Or should I restore prior PSE backup?

The failed 'move' generally does not crash the organizer. What you can check is that a 'move' from the organizer first copies files to the destination drive or master folder, and creates a journal to update the database. If the copying process succeeds, then the original photos are deleted and the catalog updated. If the organizer does not crash, the result will be a partly copied library, but no change to the catalog. In your case, we cannot be sure what happened to the database. Since you were able to attempt a backup, the catalog was useable but there is a mystery about the 759 GB instead of 309. I suppose you already tried a 'repair anyway' for the catalog.
I would first check that the files you wanted to move have not really been moved, and that only a part of them has been copied to the destination drive.
If that's the case, I would delete the copies (or move them in a different locotion than your target location).
Restoring the catalog from the Acronis backup would be the next step. Remember that the catalog is the whole folder containing the database, catalog.pse12db. You can choose to restore to the original location or elsewhere. If elsewhere, double click on on the catalog.pse12db file to open the organizer with the Acronis catalog.

Can't sync iPhone to my mac. Strange error message.

I just tried to sync my iPhone to my mac, and got the following error message:
"iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "MyiPhone" because the iPhone disconnected."
First of all... my iPhone did not disconnect, I am looking at it under "devices" in iTunes and iPhoto right now.
My operating system, iTunes, and iPhone all have their software completely up to date.
I notice that this happens just after iPhoto opens... I have no idea what the problem is. My only idea is that maybe it is the USB cable I'm using. But this is the first time this has happened, and the iPhone didn't show any signs of disconnecting.
Anyone know what is going on and what I should do???

I just read a message from someone with the same problem (posted after I posted my message) and someone resolved the issue...
For anyone else wondering... it was apparently a corrupted file. In iTunes click on your iPhone, then the Info tab, scroll down and click the replace contact info tab, and it should solve the problem.

Unable to open AirPort options sheet in Network System Preference

Hi there,
There are several posts (and a Radar bug number, 4273111) reporting a certain difficulty with systems that have been upgraded to Tiger. For some reason: When viewing the AirPort network interface in the Network system preference, certain installations do not allow one to open the "Options" sheet.
To reproduce:
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click on the Network system preference.
3. Show -> AirPort.
4. Click the "Options" button.
Normally, this should open an options sheet. However, on three separate systems I've encountered that have been upgraded to 10.4.x from earlier versions of Mac OS X (Jaguar to Panther to Tiger), the sheet does not open at all. Console reports the following when the button is clicked:
2006-11-07 09:55:22.206 System Preferences[379] * Assertion failure in -[PreferencesApp _commonBeginModalSessionForWindow:relativeToWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector :contextInfo:], AppKit.subproj/NSApplication.m:3057
2006-11-07 09:55:22.229 System Preferences[379] Modal session requires modal window
I've tried replacing the following items (then repairing permissions after each attempt) with a known-good copy from another 10.4.x system (same OS version/build in each case—as of this post, tested through 10.4.8), without effect:
/Applications/System Preferences.app
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Network.prefPane
/System/Library/Frameworks/Preferences.framework
I've seen references to a similar error in Safari that was able to be fixed with a reinstall of Safari—apparently, something corrupted in WebKit.framework. I'm presuming something similar would work here (and it's been reported that an Archive and Install will fix the problem, but that's certainly overkill to correct such an issue).
I've got clients that are not happy about this and the problem has apparently been documented for well over a year now. The following Discussions threads cover it as well:
"can't open airport options"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1125018
"Network system preferences stuck"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1123291
"Airport Preferred Networks"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=722797
I'm happy to lend whatever troubleshooting assistance I can, so if anyone else out there can similarly recommend files I might try replacing that I've not already mentioned here, or any other information that could be helpful, I'd certainly appreciate it!
Thanks much,

ITunes match can't get past step 1

I bought iTunes match as soon as it was available here in Austria. At first it worked fine. Then I imported some new songs. After that it has never been able to get past step 1 (gathering data on your media library). My MacBook was running more that 24h for several times, still I couldn't get past step 1. I can't and won't have iTunes open more than 24h in one session since I need to be able to work with it. What am I supposed to do?
Maybe relevant: the iTunes genius-process also can't finish since I imported these new songs.
Thank you!

I spent 4 hours on the phone yesterday with Apple support on this exact issue. Apparently ML corrupted my iTunes library. I had to get a senior tech at Apple to remotely access my Mac to walk me through the fix, which required moving my iTunes files around, as well as doing a complete re-install of ML.
My iTunes Match still acts a little buggy, but a least I'm able to access my music. The only way to solve this issue IMO is to get Apple support to assist you the way I described. Don't waste time talking to a low level person, because they won't know how to help you (unless they're getting so many calls on this they've sorted it out). Also, since this is a ML issue, you won't be charged.
Hope this helps.

ITunes Match can't get past Step 1 since Mountain Loin OS upgrade

Been using iTunes Match (ITM) since it lauched with no issues. Since upgrading to Mountain Loin, ITM just keeps invoking Step 1 every few mins and then quits after the results are returned from Apple. I tried turning off Genius and ITM and then only turning ITM back on with the same results. Anyone else had this same issue and found a resolution to this problem?

PS 13.1.2 Update on Mac 10.8.2 - Update error in AAM: U44M1P7

Hey folks,
I´m getting a problem, when updating my PS 13.0.4 on my Macbook Pro, Mountain Lion, 10.8.2. The AAM brings an error (NR. U44M1P7).
I´ve installed the Cloud yesterday, activate it, PS works fine on 13.0.4, but I can´t update. Other updates f.e. Premiere aso were no problem.
Please help, what can I do?
If reinstall of PS is the only option, how can I save the whole workaround with my presets, settings, actions (I have many actions) and so on. It´s enough to export my presets or do I have to save the actions f. e. separetly?
Thx a lot for your help!
Best regards

Okay, sorted this one.
It was apparently a corrupt permissions and .db file.
I started by confirming that the 'PS_AppIcon.icns' resource file was okay (which it was).
Followed by running Disk Utility > First Aid > Repair Disk Permissions' via the Recovery Disk partition utilities > Reboot.
Then deleting the '.db' file in '~/Library/Application Support/Dock folder' > Reboot.
All instances of the icon corruption are now gone (e.g., Launchpad, Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder, smaller icon verions in finder frame and menus).
Note - the only thing I did previously was to run the Adobe Application Manager updates and install.
Marking as fixed.

I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.

As made clear in the title:
I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.
My computer recently had a kernel panic, which apparently the corruption was in the system and needed to be erased and re-installed. I have a complete back-up using an external hard drive, and I am definitely not willing to do another one of those to reformat a partition that is already singular. I restarted the computer after ejecting my back-up, and after turning off time machine (thinking that boot camp was recognizing it as a secondary partition), however the error still occurs.
Is there any way to get around this?

Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 R2; system aborts and reboots after first blue Windows logo appears

System: Dell PowerEdge sc1420 with dual xeon and Adaptec 2420SA SATA RAID (supported by OS); 10 GB memory (2x4, rank 2, organization x4, in DIMM1 & DIMM2; 2x1, registered, organization x8, in DIMM3 & DIMM4)
This computer is currently running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise which was installed with no problems.
Objective: clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on an otherwise unused RAID array disk set.
All attempts to boot from DVD result in loading of files (grey progress bar on bottom of screen), brief dark screen, then black screen with a blue windows logo for about 2 seconds and then a flash of about 10 lines of error notifications on a black screen
for about 1/4 second (unreadable), and then a reboot of the computer.
Coreinfo.exe confirms that cpus DO support NX and PAE; do NOT support VMX (virtual machine enhancements).
Attempts to run memtest.exe from boot disk tool-menu startup result in an error message that the memtest.exe file is corrupt.
Running memtest.exe from Windows 2008 R2 install disk results in all memory tests passed!
Attempted booting with multiple DVD's (some +R, some -R, all verified) burned from .iso. These DVD's were used successfully to install Windows Server 2012 R2 on an HP Pavilion. Also changed DVD drives just to rule out DVD hardware.
Running CHKDSK from Windows 2012 R2 on HP Pavilion shows no problems; running CHKDSK from Windows 2008 R2 on the Dell system on the same disks shows some problems. Running checkdisk on the Windows 2008 R2 install disk from the Windows 2008 R2 installed
system shows no problems. All disks burned and verified on same system.
Also attempted to boot from USB thumbdrive with copy of DVD on it. Same results: system loads files then reboots at first Windows logo. So that would rule out disk quality issues per se??
Started to try an upgrade rather clean install to see if any errors were announced. None were announced as the system went through much of the process. I aborted somewhere along the way before committing to the upgrade because 1) the most likely
outcome was it would not boot after install (I don't really need the practice in restoring); and 2) even if it did reboot, having a system that can't be repaired by booting the install disk is pointless.
All disks and raid arrays are recognized and usable by RAID controller card and by Windows Server 2008 R2. Disks are within spec for use with Adaptec 2420SA (1TB @ 300).
Is VMX (aka VT-x) actaully required for ANY install even though Hyper-V is not intended to be used? If so, it is too bad that the Microsoft system requirements (
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303418.aspx ) don't make that clear. And lack of VMX support really doesn't explain the memtest.exe "corruption" issue.
Or is it maybe something unique about the files on 2012 R2 disk (or disk image on USB) that are causing some problem with the chipset processing? But why?
My vote would be for the latter of the issues, but I have no clue why or if it is remediable. Suggestions?

So here is what I think is the final understanding of this problem:
First, one additional piece of important information: The computer successfully moves into and through the Windows Boot Loader phase and succeeding phase ONLY for Windows 8.1 32-bit, but NOT for Windows 8.1 64-bit nor for Windows
Server 2012 R2 (only 64-bit).
The Windows Boot Manager phase (which precedes the Windows Boot Loader phase) is either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) and is loaded by the 16-bit stub program (Bootmgr) which starts in real mode.
Windows Boot Loader of course runs in either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) according to the product being installed.
By inference, the essential problem is occurring in conjunction with the loading of a WIM file to start the Windows Boot Manager.
The boot manager starts ok and generally shows its essential screens (Windows Boot Manager; Advanced Boot Options) or proceeds to load files for transition into Windows startup in the succeeding Windows Boot Loader phase (that doesn’t “boot” but rather
loads the system). This is best confirmed by the announced corruption of the memtest.exe file when selecting Windows Memory Diagnostic from the Windows Boot Manager Screen.
If allowed to continue loading files to pass control to the Windows Boot Manager, the type of abort and resulting immediate restart that occurs is that which you would associate with unhandled cpu exceptions (invalid instruction, memory out of range,
wild interrupt, etc.) that most of us have not commonly seen for 20 years (since beginning to use well behave OS’s from Windows NT 3.1 and on).
So, the problem obviously is due to a failure to properly mount the WIM file and/or properly access it (probably the latter) when running in 64-bit protected mode.
This is independent of the hardware on which the install disk is actually mounted (DVD or USB-flash), so it is NOT a hardware problem
per se.
Since the WIM is mounted early in the process, Boot Manager may well have loaded it using BIOS routines to access the physical device on which it resides rather than loading 32-bit or 64-bit drivers of its own.
Hence, if the BIOS does not “mount” the WIM in a way that is later fully compatible with access from the 64-bit systems being loaded, it could cause apparent file corruption.
If it is only partially incompatible some functionality may appear quite usable (like loading files) until later detected.
This is vague on my part, because the exact nature of the incompatibility cannot be readily determined from the information available.
But the consequence is the same: the system cannot boot from the install disk, either for initial installation or repairs.
Incidental conclusion: The 64-bit boot manager code for Windows Server 2008 does not exhibit this faulty behavior, but the 64-bit code for Windows Server 2012 does.
So the problem is not inherent with loading 64-bit server OS’s.
Expectations: If the system were to be upgraded using the features of the install disk while running an installed OS, say Windows Server 2008 R2, it might well succeed and yield a fully functional system upgraded to Windows Server 2012
R2 (because the installed operating system is started from discrete files, not from a WIM file).
However, in order to perform a disaster recovery using Windows resources (such as image backups from Windows Server Backup), one would have to presumably boot from a Windows Server 2012 64-bit install disk or Windows Server USB recovery drive.
Of course we know that the Windows Server install disk will not boot and we can be fairly sure that the problem will migrate to any Windows Server USB recovery drive that is created.
My inspection of a Windows 7 System Repair CD shows that is based exclusively on boot.wim, not discrete files!
Of course a generated image for a WIM for Windows 2012 USB recovery drive
might not have the flaw that drives this behavior, but it probably would.
Problem conclusion: A BIOS upgrade would be required for compatibility with Windows Server 2014 clean installation
and any maintenance; and none is available from the OEM.
Problem not resolved, but understood for future reference.
Thanks to Tim whose comments helped me focus my thinking.

Problems with files with no types or creator infos

I installed Ffmegx which converts videos in differents formats.
In order to work, that software needs extra files (mencoder, mplayer, mpeg2enc).
After I downloaded them, the two first ones were seen as Unix Executable files
by Mac OSX, the third is seen as a text file, and therefore cannot be used by Ffmegx.
When I go see the type-creator infos for the 2 first ones, there is no infos for type and creator
and there are ????? signs elsewhere.
I am sure that I would get everything working if I only knew what to fill in (using type and creator
changer). Anynone knows what the extensions should be ?
P.S. This problem happens often with Mac files from internet, they loose their identity somehow on the way. Sometimes the file is downloaded as text (code) in the browser window itself ! Which I found out can be avoided by pressing ALT while clicking download. Very strange problem which happens both with Safari and FireFox. But pressing ALT doesn't help after all, because the file becomes a text file anyway, not associated with any program. Useless.
Thanks

Start by doing the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next, clear the LaunchServices database:
Rebuild LaunchServices Database

Now, OS X no longer uses type and creator codes to identify file types. It's all done from file extensions. OS X maintains a database of associations between documents and the applications that created them. The exception is an application which is identified by the ".app" file extension. Your system has apparently become corrupted in some way that has broken these associations, so the above is an effort to see if things can be straightened out.

Incorporating Translation Review Comments into Source File

Hello,
I have been asked by my French colleagues to have three of my
help files translated from English to French. My company has had a
couple of help files translated in the past, so we have a procedure
in place, but we always stumble over one part: when the translation
agency sends the first-pass translations to our foreign offices (in
this case, France), what is the best way to incorporate the French
reviewer's corrections back into the RH project without introducing
a lot of problems?
In the past, the agency used a program called EditLet (?),
which allowed the reviewer to log onto a web interface, make
corrections, and send the topics back to the translation agency.
This worked fine, but it was a big effort for the translation
agency to host this program, and apparently it corrupted a lot of
the background HTML coding, which the tech managers at the
translation agency had to manually fix.
We also explored exporting the RH project as a Word file and
sending this to the reviewer. The reviewer could edit the file
using Track Changes, and send it back. But there is no easy way to
bring this corrected Word file back into RH without overwriting
existing content (we just want to import the corrections). We could
also manually copy and paste from the corrected Word file in the RH
project, but that is time-consuming.
Any ideas?
Thanks! I appreciate any suggestions!
**Forgot to mention: I am using RH X5 to generate HTML help
files.
Regards,
John

Hi John. TBH I don't believe there is a real cast iron
solution to your problem. All the methods you quote work and are
used by others but each represents its own problems. I'm not
familiar with EditLet. Are there other tools the translation
company could host? The problem here is the still the propriety
code of RH. Whatever app you use it likely to generate different
code to RH which can cause problems when imported. Using Word to
review (Ugg!) also works but you can tell from my exclamation what
I think of that
. Is it possible to get the users to add comments to
the HTML code itself using comment tags? If may not be user
friendly but they could add their comments without upsetting the
delicate RH HTML. Just a thought.

ITunes 7 bug for Macs?

I own a power book and I just updated to iTunes7 and is constantly asking me to update my iPod as well. At the moment I can't do anything with my iPod because the moment I chose a category it quits iTunes.
My guess is that the new program is stubborn and really wants me to update my iPod was well. But after reading all of the bad reviews from the new update, I'm afraid that my iPod will be the next "victim".
Has anyone running OS X encounter this problem? Or is it only for the PC version? HELP!

I'm having bugs and so are many other people. If you take a look at the itunes category there are many threads with people reporting glitches or freezes between songs on their ipods.
My ipod has apparently been "corrupted" by the new iTunes and was fine before I had attached it to my machines with iTunes 7 installed. It said I should restore, but now every time I connect it says I should restore. Additionally when I just power it on, it either reboots continually or gives me the apple support URL.
It's one thing to have quirks in the software but another that my iPod itself is currently completely disabled. Unacceptable.
