Automator download URL missing pages?

I've just learned automator and created some automator script to download a daily epaper and convert it to pdf. everything works fine except the 'download URL' part, where it misses some pages. The missing pages are always the same on a given day, but varies daily (eg. yesterday its missing page 3, today its missing page 4 on 2 script runs). I've checked the availability of the pages thru web browser and they exists. Anyone with similar experiences or have any solutions on this? Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

i'm using custom variables because the web folder varies with current date. I've checked the 'Get Value of Variable' result and all the URLs are there. I've tried typing the exact address on web browser and the image load up fine, so there should be no problem with the URLs.
I'll try the Get Link URLs from Webpages action and let u know the result. Thanks for ur help.

The book I downloaded is missing pages what do I do?

Delete the book from iBook shelves, then go to Store from iBook App, "Purchased tab", "Not on this iPhone" and redownload again.

Automator "Download URLs completed - 38 warnings. Could not download... The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error - 1100.)

An affifilate company has a website that has a website with a number of web pages, each containing a number of hyperlinks to pdfs. I am trying to create an Automator workflow that allows me to download the linked files on a particular page. I am using "Get Current Webpage from Safari' then "Get Link URLs from Webpages" and finally "Download URLs" to a specific file. I keep getting the error Could not download...(NSURLErrorDomain error - 1100.) On some pages it works fairly well. On others it doesn't download a single file and gives this error.
Please could someone offer some advice as this is really beginning to frustrate me.

I contacted Apple over the same thing and was advised it was a known issue and was being worked on by the Engineers. They said there was nothing to do but wait and try again over the next few days. Within 24hrs I could update again...do you still have the issue or did it also get resolved without you doing anything?

Downloaded ibook missing pages ??

Hi, I have downloaded an ibook and in the case of most chapters, towards the end the same page repeats itself and it skips to the next chapter - unread!
has anyone had this happen to them before?
what to do?

Other people appear to have had the same issue with that book e.g. :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18047128#18047128
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18227586#18227586
You could try contacting the publisher and see if they will upload a corrected version to the store for re-downloading : http://knopfdoubleday.com/contact-us/
And/or use the 'report a problem' link from your account's purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

Why can't Safari's Download URLs see Safari's cache?

You'd think that the typical pattern for this action is something like..
browse to a web site, like what you see, want to import into iphoto
but when I do that over dialup it wants to redownload every url I give to Download URLs. These urls are images and they are already in Safari's cache. It would be nice if automator actions that operate on content available to Safari could consulate Safari's cache. That way this Download URLs action wouldn't timeout each and everytime I use it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but where exactly do you see Download URLs in Safari?

Ipod Nano won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages...

My first generation Nano was initially sent back to Apple due to the battery losing it's charge to quickly. They sent me back what appears to be a replacement Nano and now this one won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages of bands, shared from friends (unprotected mp3 files) or otherwise downloaded from the internet.
Whats unusual is that any songs imported from a CD to the Nano play fine as do any songs purchased from iTunes. I know Apple has stated that any files the user wishes to play on their iPods will play as long as the format is compatible. (All of these songs in question played on the original Nano and the problems started when they said they fixed it and sent it back (although it is missing the engraving which to me indicates they gave me a refurbished Nano). My Applecare runs out in mid-October so I need to figure out what is wrong. I sent it back a second time and they told me they couldn't recreate the problem so they just updated the software and sent it back.
Someone suggested that some iPods have a part of the firmware activated (which Apple may have been testing) that prevents any non-ITunes store music or music no t off an original CD to fail to play.
When attempting to play downloaded songs from sites like Purevolume and MySpace the iPod plays for a few seconds then shuts down and restarts itself, all of these songs worked fine before Apple took it in for service.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. It`s so annoying.
I did a little bit research on this discussion board and this problem seems to be known for quite a long time. It`s confusing me Apple is not able to fix that prob or give customers quick introduction to resolve the prob.
I am currently on vacation in Florida and just bought the new iPod 30 Gig. I transfered already songs from my music cd. That worked fine.
I bought 2 music video files, synced them with no error to the iPod, but it only shows me a black screen when I want to start the video on the iPod itself. itunes plays the files with no problem.
Any ideas how to fix it??

F4M document contains errors - URL missing from Media tag

I feel like I'm getting close to finally get a live stream to work correctly in 4.5
I can see the streams being recorded in the following directories
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent1
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent2
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent3
Each directory contains five files: bootstrap ,control, meta, f4f, and f4x.
I have a single file called Event.xml in the directory: C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent
<Event><EventID>liveevent</EventID>
<Recording>
<FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
<SegmentDuration>16000</SegmentDuration>
<DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
However the client player receives the exception F4M document contains errors - URL missing from Media tag.
If this file is dynamically generated on the fly by the server what do I need to change to resolve this issue?

Thanks Again!

I will suggest you to go through this doc for complete implementation details. It is pretty comprehendable and would help you understand http live streaming better.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSeb6b7485f9649bf23d103e5512e08f3a33 8-8000.html#WSd391de4d9c7bd609a95b3f112a373a7115-7ff6.
As per your questions -
1. "I try to access the stream using the local player at http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" - This should be http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/liveevent.f4m.
     The name of the f4m is the name of the event you are referring to. In your case, the live event - liveevent is associated with all your three livestreams- namely livestream1, livestream2. livestream3.
2. "Do I need to create BOTH a 'manifest.xml' and a 'event.xml'? And do both of these files need to be in the event directory like below?" - Yes. If you are using mbr you need both these files at the exact place you mnetioned.
For simple single bitrate streams, mainfest.xml file is optional.
3. "If I need to manually create a manifest.xml file would this file and directory be correct?" - Yes, you are right on track. Create the file Manifest.xml and place it inside events directory at the place you mentioned.
4. "Do I need to use a absolute url in the streamid field in manifest.xml to resolve the error msg 'The F4M document contains errors URL missing from Media tag'?" - No. This is not needed. StreamId is not the content path, that is taken care of by the url path in the output manifest. You streamIds will be - livestream1, livestream2, livestream3.
After all this, I would suggest you to check one more thing. If you are publishing the way you mentioned above, there would be '.stream' files (For eg - 'MTYxMjAzMzAzMg=.stream' ) created in your events folder - "C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent\". You should check that there are 3 and only three files formed. It somehow happens that when you publish and republish again without deleting these files, FMS creates multiple copies and tries to map each one to the actual content written at - C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\livestream1\ etc.. So there should be three files and each one should point to one of the streams directory. If there are more, please delete these files, delete your hds streaming content (if possible) and republish again the same way.
This should solve your problem. If still you are facing some issues, do let us know.
Thanks,
Apoorva.

Missing pages in ibook

I recently bought the latest volume of Robert Caro's biography of LBJ. In reading the book I have encountered missing pages and incorrect footnote links. Does anyone know if there are "updates" to digital books that a purchaser can download?

Some books do get updates, but it might just have been a problem with your download.
If you haven't already done so then you can try deleting the book from the iPad via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf and then re-download by going into the ibookstore (via the Store button at the top left of the bookshelf) and then the Purchased tab. If it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Download an HTML Page

Hi All.
I am using HTML Viewer control to show my list output in HTML format. Everything is fine. But the System -> List -> save to file option is grayed out. How do I download this HTML content now?
If I use GUI_DOWNLOAD or such FM, the logo / images don't get downloaded.
I want to download the complete web page as you see in any normal internet web site - that it downloads the images in some folder, and then in the HTML, the URL points to the images in that folder.
For a sample, look at program SAPHTML_EVENTS_DEMO. How would you download the entire page that is showing along with the SAP image showing therein?
Thanks in adv.

Download a web page, how to ?

Can any one help me with code for downloading a web page given the url address ? I can download the page, but the problem is it doesn't download the associated images, javascripts etc. neither does it create an associated folder as one might expect when saving a page using browser.
Below is the code snippet -
                    URL url = new URL(address);
                    out = new BufferedOutputStream(
                         new FileOutputStream(localFileName));
                    conn = url.openConnection();
                    in = conn.getInputStream();
                    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                    int numRead;
                    long numWritten = 0;
                    while ((numRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                         out.write(buffer, 0, numRead);
                         numWritten += numRead;
                    System.out.println(localFileName + "\t" + numWritten);

I don't think web crawler would work
webcrawler simply takes every link or url on the given address and digs into it ..
Would it work for javascripts ? Given a url like xyz.com/a.html,
1. the code above would downlod the plain html.
2. parse html to find javascripts, images (anything else I need to look at ?)
3. download those
4. put everything in one folder (but the question is then do I need to rename the pointers in the dwnlded html to point at the other contents on the disk ? )
This is naive approach - anything better ?
thanks.More advanced web-crawlers parse the JavaScipt source files (or embedded JS sources inside HTML files) and (try) to execute the script in order to find new links. So the answer is: yes, some crawlers do. I know for a fact that Heritrix can do this quite well, but it is a rather "large" crawler and can take a while to get to work with. But it really is one of the best (if bot the best) open source Java web-crawlers around.

Book missing pages

Purchased 2 books from iTunes book store recently and found both have quite a few missing pages, and errors such as "blacked-out" graphics. What would be a good way to get the missing pages back to continue my reading, and to correct the errors in the e-book? Also what's the best way to prevent the errors happening when downloading books or other products from Apple Store? Would appreciate any helpful advice.
-Grant

Have you tried deleting the 2 ibooks and re-downloading them ? If they still download with missing chapters and/or graphics then you could use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

Missing Pages documents after Snow Leopard upgrade

I upgraded my Mini to Snow Leopard and now several newer, previoulsy saved Pages documents are missing. They were on the machine before the upgrade and I thought they resided in the documents folder, which I backed up. However, they are not there now (looked at Time Machine when I did the original backup).
Any ideas as to where they could be? Older Pages files are there in the documents folder
Prior to the upgrade I blew away everything in "downloads" but these Pages documents were newly created on the desktop and should not have been saved there.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

OSMF: URL Missing from Media Tag: Adobe HDS

Hi,
I have an encoder publishing 2 streams livestream1 and livestream2 to the FMS livepkgr. I have a set-level manifest for the 2 bitrates, but I get the URl missing from media tag error. What is causing this ?
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
    <id>myVideo</id>
    <baseURL>http://172.16.3.60/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/</baseURL>
    <dvrInfo offline="false" windowDuration="600" />
    <streamType>live</streamType>
    <media url="livestream1.f4m" bitrate="300"/>
    <media url="livestream2.f4m" bitrate="800"/>
</manifest>
I resorted to downloading the OSMF source code but cant fathom out why it thinks this XML is invalid and that the media url doesnt exist.
The streams play back indiviually no problem.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Mal

Got it thanks Ed ! Downloaded 1.6 from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smp.adobe/files/Strobe%20Media%20Playback%201.6%20Release% 20%28source%20and%20binaries%29/
and used this manifest
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
    <baseURL>http://172.16.3.60/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent</baseURL>
    <dvrInfo offline="false" windowDuration="600" />
    <streamType>live</streamType>
    <media href="/livestream1.f4m" bitrate="300"/>
    <media href="/livestream2.f4m" bitrate="800"/>

BO Explorer - 404 missing page

We have an Edge standard licence. BO is installed using all defaults (i.e. WACS). BO Explorer now installed but url computer-name:6405/polestar returns a missing page. What is missing from the polestar or BO instal?

Hi,
Did you get any option to select the Application Server on which you want Explorer to be deployed while installation.
As far as i know, WACS will be considered when the users have the BOE deployed on .Net application server and CMC is not available in .Net. So, to access the CMC a Java based application Server will be used ie, WACS but for other applications it uses the normal .Net application server.
So, check whether the Explorer has been deployed either in IIS or in WACS server.
-Noor.
