Automatically change linked images path in AI files when server has changed?

A customer of ours have replaced their server and now all AI files containing linked to images are broken as they point to the old server. I have opened an AI file and there I can see the paths to the old server, but of course I cannot just edit the path and then save the file because then it won't open in Illustrator CS3 anymore. Is there any way other than to manually go through all AI files and manually replacing the links with the new links to the old server, or to use embedded images?

Jasion,
Maybe a bit beside the question, but it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture?

    Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture? We shoot with two photographers and so the img numbers are not in order but I would like to have the photos in chronological order on the disc when I give it to them. Does anyone know how to do this? I have them all in order ready to go in Aperture but when I move them to the disc to be burned they default back to the img number order. Thanks for your help!

    What do you mean by "image number"? The file names like "IMG_7822.CR2" or "IMG_7822.jpg"?
    You can create custom names with appended numbers, when you export your image files to be saved on a disk.
    Sort your images by date in the browser, select them, then use the command "File > Export > Version" to write the files to the disk. Set the name format to "Custem Name with Index" or "Custom Name with Counter" to create numbered names in your current sort order.

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

  • FM9/Win - Changing linked image file?

    I can do what I want to do in InDesign, QuarkXpress, and PageMaker, but for some reason this functionality appears to be absent in FrameMaker, which is utterly dain bramaged.
    I have a placed image in multiple places in a FrameMaker document. The image is placed by reference, not embedded. I now want to link to a different graphic (annual updates).
    Re-placing the image a zillion times is not an option, as the sizing and position is already set. I just want to change what FrameMaker is linking to.
    For the life of me, I cannot find where or even if, I can do this.
    The inelegant solution would be to simply move or rename the currently-linked-to file on the hard drive, and rename the new graphic to the same name as the old one. I do not like that option at all, as there are some instances in other documents that I still wish to link to the old image file.
    Is FrameMaker's link handling really this clumsy and archaic? In the other applications I refer to above, I would either go to a links palette and change the destination or right-click on an image and relink it. In FrameMaker, the "Object Properties" dialog appears to only report the location of the referenced file, not allow you to change it.
    What gives?

    Dan,
    To my knowledge, there is nothing in FrameMaker like there is in InDesign that allows you to relink an image directly, or even indirectly via a link list. I also have looked and not found anything. There is a link menu item somewhere but I have never figured out what it does.
    There is a plugin by Bruce Foster that is used to archive a book or document and its linked image files and text insets. When you run it, the plugin COPIES the book file and ALL the files associated with it into another folder that you specify, and then readjusts all the links among these files to point to the copied files. It puts all graphics files into one subfolder and all text insets into another. So, once you get your book where you want it, with no future changes, run the archive, and then use the files and book in the archive folder to print or do whatever you need to do in the future.
    The downside is that you have two sets of files to manage, but if the archived set is rarely or never edited or updated, then all is well.

  • Changing an image in a PSD file

    Another quick question. How can I change an image in a psd website template file? The file I'm referring to is www.cfour11.com/index.psd
    Again, I new and just learning. Thank you again for all your help.
    Regards,

    Everything is on its own layer so it makes it easy to adjust.
    To add the logo on the green background in the top left corner, find the green background first. It's this layer here (inside Images Folder in Layers Panel):
    To stay organized, it's best if you add image directly above the green background. If it's the image file you want to add, then do this:
    1. Select highlighted Layer in the Layers Panel.
    2. Go to the menu: File->Place, and navigate to the file you want to add here. When the image appears inside Photoshop, you'll see handles around the image which allow you to resize it. When done, just press Enter.
    Regarding your second question, the images you are talking about are here:
    Hide them by clicking on Eyeball icons in front of the layers, and then Place new images in the same way as above.
    I hope this helps.
    Any questions, just ask.

  • How do you change the image size and resolution in photoshop everytime I change the width the height changes my measurements will not stay

    Can someone assist me with changing image size and resolution.  each time I change the width the height changes and vice/versa?

    There's a chain link between width and height. The point is to keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise your picture would get stretched.
    You click on the chain-link to shut that off and you can adjust width and height separately.
    Also could you give us your version of Photoshop, what OS you are running it on (Windows 7 for example) and what exactly you want to do with your document?
    Resolution is the print term for how many pixels will be printed on an inch of paper. It doesn't apply if your image is intended for screen viewing.

  • Why does comments.vi stop working when server directory changes?

    With web server root directory set to "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\www",
    I point my browser to "http://localhost/cgi-bin/examples/comments.vi" and I get the comment form.
    Next, I quit the G Web Server, set the server root to "c:\ats\www",
    I copy the comments.vi and comments.llb files to c:\ats\www\cgi-bin and point my browser to http://localhost/cgi-bin/comments.vi.  Instead of showing the form as before, I get a dialog box prompting me to either "Open with..." or "Save to disk".  I'm using Firefox.  Why does this happen?  Is there a configuration that I must set up to get the G Web Server to work at other than the default location?

    kc64,
    To your browser, you're looking at a website (served on localhost in this case) and pointing to a specific file (in this case a VI).  Just as if you point your browser to an address of the form www.website.com/file.pdf it will ask you what you want to do with the file--open or save it.  In this dialog box, you should have the option to automatically do what you select for the file type from now on.
    The dialog box itself has nothing to do with changing your server root, it has to do with what your browser is configured (or not configured) to do with the VI file type.  As for why this didn't happen the first time and it's prompting you now, maybe the action got changed for the VI file type.  This can be configured in Firefox by going to the content tab of tools->options.

  • Incoming mail server has changed, but greyed out in Mail, can't be corrected

    The incoming mail server for my website's email account has changed, but the incoming server box is greyed out and doesn't allow me to change it to the correct one.  I do not want to delete the account and start again because all mail and contacts associated with the account will be lost.  So far all the suggestions regarding greyed out incoming server boxes have to do with iCloud but while i use iCloud, I don't use it for mail or have an @iCloud email address.  They also involve starting from scratch with Mail, which would be a huge problem for me trying to save all my emails and reconstruct my mailboxes.
    What gives with this issue? a lot of people seemed to have it, though I saw no responses later than 2012.  Unlike other people, I can still get my mail, but the server certificate always comes up invalid.  I can tell Mail to trust it, but This greyed out thing is certainly a bug or unintended consequence.  I want to be able to change that field.

    Sorry, Guess I solved my own problem anyway.  Perhaps this will help others.  I unchecked "automatically detects and maintain account settings", closed and saved the mail preferences window ( I had also updated my outgoing server info which was not greyed out )  I closed Mail and when I reopened it, the incoming server was no longer greyed out and I could change it which I did.  I may recheck the auto detect box once I have ensured that the port settings are all correct.

  • Portal server has changed DNS zone, CM URLs not

    Hello,
    we have a standalone server which changed from the DMZ to internal LAN. With this change the portal got a new DNS suffix and a new IP address. Now the portal is accessable but the acess URLs for CM repository objects having still the old DNS suffix in the URLs.
    Has someone experience with changing DNS suffix of  a portal server? What must be changed for CM? (using EP 6.0 with KMC, SPS12)
    Thanks and regards

  • How to insert data into a table only when data has changed its value (when compared to the previous inserted value)

    I wish to insert data into a table only when the value of the inserted data has changed. Thus, in a time series, if the value of the data at time, t-1, is 206 then if the data to be inserted at time t is 206, then it is skipped (not entered).
    If the value of the data at time t+1 is 206, it is skipped also; until the value changes, so if the value at t+1 was 205, then that would be inserted, and if at time t+2 the data is 206, it would be inserted too.
    What is the best way to do it without increasing overheads?

    This view works:
    SELECT
    i.IDNO,i.[Date],i.[Level]
    FROM
    mytable i
    INNER
    JOIN mytable
    d
    ON
    d.IDNO
    = i.IDNO-1
    WHERE
    i.[Level]
    <> d.[Level]
    on this mytable below.  A trigger could be quite useful here although I am cautious using them. However I wish to avoid the overhead by not having a temp table (which could be sizable).  mytable below
    should give 3 lines. The IDNO is an identity column.
    IDNO

    Hi Sumit,
    We can use
    VisualTreeHelper class to find Image control in visual tree.
    UIHelper.cs:
    public class UIHelper
    public static T FindChild<T>(DependencyObject parent, string childName)
    where T : DependencyObject
    // Confirm parent and childName are valid.
    if (parent == null) return null;
    T foundChild = null;
    int childrenCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
    for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++)
    var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
    // If the child is not of the request child type child
    T childType = child as T;
    if (childType == null)
    // recursively drill down the tree
    foundChild = FindChild<T>(child, childName);
    // If the child is found, break so we do not overwrite the found child.
    if (foundChild != null) break;
    else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(childName))
    var frameworkElement = child as FrameworkElement;
    // If the child's name is set for search
    if (frameworkElement != null && frameworkElement.Name == childName)
    // if the child's name is of the request name
    foundChild = (T)child;
    break;
    else
    // child element found.
    foundChild = (T)child;
    break;
    return foundChild;
    Code Behind:
    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    Image image1 = UIHelper.FindChild<Image>(btn, "btnS");
    if(image1!=null)
    image1.Source = new BitmapImage(
    new Uri("Resources/main1.png", UriKind.Relative)
