BB Link and BB Desktop conflict

Having a Bold 9700 and Playbook i have always used BB Desktop. and still need them.
Now I have a Z10, i have BB Link on the same computer.
But when youconnect the USB, the Desktop software always starts and says Z10 is not supported. the Link does not start automatically - which seems to make Z10 connection to the BB Link dificult to get recognised..
What am i not doing - as the USB drivers seem to mix each other up and have problems with the Z10 map onto Z and Y drives.
Any thoughs appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
The BB10 device uses only Link. Prior devices use only the Desktop Software. They are not interchangeable.
I've not seen the conflicts you are reporting, but I also am now solely using a Z10. But, I did have both installed to my PC at the same time, and had no problems (as long as I lived within the above compatibility restrictions). Perhaps if you shut off the auto-run of either, then you will be able to more finely control the mixed-device environment that you have.
Good luck!

URL Links and Next Button conflict

I've put three clickboxes on a captivate slide, each leading
to a different URL.
At the end of the slide, I've placed a NEXT button, set to
Pause until user clicks. "If user clicks outside of button" is set
to Infinite Attempts. This is my attempt to hold the slide until
user has a chance to visit all three URL's.
Problem: clicking the URL links activates the next button, in
spite of the "infinite attempts" setting. I think I've found a way
around this using a series of duplicate slides, but I'm curious
about why it happens.
Thanks!

Welcome to our community, Maggie
When you insert a Click Box object and point it to a URL,
note there is a button with a down arrow to the immediate right of
where you type the URL. Click that and you get the option to choose
to open the project in a new window. I'm guessing you have already
done this or your complaint would be something else.
If you click that button a second time, you should then see
the option to DE-select the option "Continue playing project".
That's likely what you are looking for. You need to clear this
option on all the Click Boxes. Once you do this, you should see the
behavior you are wanting.
Cheers... Rick

Custom html file with pix and links as Mac desktop display?

Hi, in Windows it is possible to select an html file to use as your desktop display...pictures, web links, and links to network and local folders, files, and applications can be written directly into the html page. It was actually really nice.
How can this be done on a Mac?
It would be great to have personal pictures, text (poems and to do lists) displayed as the desktop background...with links to files (inspirational .mov files, recently used files, even the html file for the desktop itself for quick changes), links to start applications, and links to favorite websites...all accessible from the desktop itself.
Alternatively, would these links need to be placed in the dashboard or expose or ? Would the text over a background image in html need to be composited into a static image file?
thanks

I don't believe there is a way in the Mac world to specify anything but image files to be used as your desktop.
I might suggest that you open the HTML fileof your choice in a browser, and take a screen shot of the output. Then you can assign that screen shot to be your desktop.
Command-shift-4 will give you a crosshair cursor to drag around the area you wish to capture.

BlackBerry Link and syncing Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with stand-alone desktop installation of Outlook 2010?

I have used Blackberries in business since the beginning. Fantastic products!
Sadly after spending the better part of Feb 6th transitioning from Torch to Z10 I have had to abandon the effort and request an RMA number to return the Z10.
Here is why:
"Link" appears to be focussed on syncing documents and media like content such as music and movies but does not, from what I can tell, sync Outlook Contacts, Calendar entries or Tasks. I have never bothered putting music or movies on a BB... never had the time to fuss with such... however, I use, edit and sync my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks between my Torch and my desktop PC every day... as in EVERY day!
From a review of postings on various forums there does not appear to be a solution in the works to this problem and the trend appears to be to use a Cloud based email or service to host such "PIM" information and then sync the handheld to the Cloud repository. This method MAY be suitable for some forms of info but it is not suitable to post such personal info on the cloud... it needs to stay on the desktop and in the handheld device, both of which are password protected and looked after carefully.
This is an odd situation, BB (RIM) cut their teeth on pages, emails, BBM and great cell calls, mainly in a business environment. Many small business users live and die on their BB. They do not run Exchange Server... they run Outlook stand alone on a desktop. To remove this functionality from the Z10 (BB10 overall perhaps) seems at best to be a serious oversight.
I wish BB the best with the Z10 and hope to see it do well. For me, I had to make a choice between the efficiency and effectiveness of syncing Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with the Torch, or hand feeding and maintaining thousands of constantly changing entries into what is undoubtedly a more powerful and wonderful looking Z10. Efficiency and effectiveness won over brawn and beauty. The Torch is back on line... It's a tool... a really great tool! Tomorrow it will process a hundred emails, numerous SMS messages, a few BBM's, keep me on time and feed me a bunch of useful phone numbers and addresses as it has for a couple of years now. It will also spend an hour or so teathered to my laptop at a remote location where there is cell coverage but no internet. It will NOT display any movies, tweats, twits, or facebook stuff that I won't have time to look at anyway. The fast, powerful, shiny Z10 is heading in an RMA bag back to Telus.
I have a sort of sick feeling in my gut and hope to be able to sync again in the future!

Links on my desktop have the firefox .ico and not the web link .ico Can this be automaticly attached like IE does

When I place an internet link on the desktop using Firefox 3.6.13 the link (.ico) icon is replaced with the Firefox (.ico) icon instead.
IE transfers this icon to the desktop with the link text.
Can someone fix this?

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there. 
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

Keeping iTunes Desktop conflicts to a minimum – Series 1(Reposting # 2) Fir

Note: If you don’t take the time from your busy schedule to address these suggestions being provided in this and future upcoming series, then by all mean continue with what you were doing before and continue to experience the frustrations and problems. The series is not meant to be a cure-all for the problems you are having. But the information will go a long way to correcting and improving a lot of issues that you may be having with your system. Think About It !!!!!!!!!!
In reviewing this forum I see a lot of folks here are having difficulties with running iTunes on the desktop and using the features available within the program. As far as information is concerned relating to iTunes conflicts, “the possible basic root causes” that can contribute to the conflicts are lacking in the discussions. The conflict discussion that I am presenting here in this first series that have been discussed many times before in various forums boards elsewhere. But for some reason it dos not seem to be sticking well in people’s minds when dealing with computers at this point in time. Therefore, I thought this would be a good opportunity to start running a series of articles here to help those who are interested in cutting the problems down to a minimum and to try and help you understand why the conflicts are occurring. If you are like me you want to enjoy your music without having to go through a lot of hassle to reach that enjoyment. But if you want to correct the problem you are having I will need to guide you through a little bit of hassle to improve your performance. These articles will be primarily directed to the learning advanced users and to those who have a complete set of available Recovery and Applications/Drivers CD’s that was provided with your system. The following is critical. If your system just came with one instillation disk I strongly advise against using some of this information. IF YOU DO, proceed at your own risk especially if you have an OEM system. If you are NOT an advanced user you can still learn from this material.
My objective in this opening series as I stated in my opening remarks is to address the possible root causes that can and will interfere with programs and iTunes. Before I go any further let me provide a summary of my upcoming series objectives:
1) Conflicts – Current series
2) HDD Formatting – “Main key to reducing conflicts”
3) Security
4) iTunes Setup and Firewall configuration
All four of the above categories will play a vital role in reducing the conflicts. Now lets begin the series for those who are interested in learning.
1)Open Ports – WARNING!!!! OPEN PORTS ARE A SURE FIRE INVITATION TO PROBLEMS. Also, it is a “potential security hazard” to the local machine in question. Therefore I strongly suggest visiting one of the following links for a free online Port Scan. www.broadbandreports.com when you reach the site look for the Tools tab. www.sygate.com There are many other places you can visit but I would use caution because of the hidden dangers that could be involved if you don’t know a whole lot about the scan provider. I would stick to the most popular scan sites if possible. I suggest also going to www.microsoft.com and typing in the following search term: “Ports”. The search results will yield you a wide verity of information relating to port issues. Or, use your favorite search engine to research the issue. The bottom line is this, it is very important and relevant to understand the importance of protecting yourself in this area for it can and will at times have a system wide impact on the local machine. So now is a good time to start learning how to lock your system up to the outside world as much as you can if you have not already done so. Question? You would not leave your home without locking it up first, Right? Get my point? Throughout my series I will be revisiting this subject and discuss other aspects relating to ports issues.
2)Virus/Spyware Programs - Unfortunately we live in a world today where people have hidden motives and agendas. Others are just out to cause trouble for others. The reason that I am bringing up these two programs is because they are well known programs to cause conflicts. Even though both of these programs is a necessity in our every day tasks lets break each one down and briefly discuss what we can do to reduce the conflicts. Virus Programs: I know you may have heard it before but I am going to reiterate it again that it is imperative that you keep this program up to date. This will be just one part of your front line defense in protecting your computer. Virus Programs/Firewalls: The virus programs coming out today are multi-functional packages now. Example: Spyware programs included, etc. But lets focus our attention at the firewall level for just a minute. When I run my virus program I usually do the following, I will disengage the Spyware portion of the program. I will discuss a little bit more about Spyware programs soon. The point that I am trying to make is “Configuration”. In order to reduce the conflicts it is important that you understand the program that you are running. At times you may have to go back and configure your firewall in order for the program to properly work as well. Therefore, check with your program vender as well as your firewall vender to ensure that you are properly configured. And finally, Spyware programs. As I just stated, I usually disengage the Spyware portion when I setup my virus program. I do it for a specific reason(s). 1) I run my own independent program and, 2) I have found that the Spyware programs that are included in the multi-functional packages are just not effective. I am currently running Ad-Aware SE Plus. 3) Running two Spyware programs can and will cause conflicts.
3)Firewalls - Firewalls can be and often is a source of conflicts as I had briefly mentioned in the Virus program section. This will be another important aspect of your defense measures. You may ask, “What does this have to do with iTunes?” Well my friend it is important for configuration purposes again as I stated in the virus program section. When you listen to the radio or purchase music from the store you are dealing with what is called a live stream. To ensure the integrity of the live stream “Proper Firewall Configuration” is the key to maintaining that integrity. During my iTunes Setup and Firewall Configuration Series I will go into further details on this subject matter. If you are running the Windows Firewall and another firewall in one of the multi- functional packages that I spoke off, disengage it now. The probability of conflicts occurring will be high for sure.
4)Screen Savers and Tray Programs – Screen Savers is another well-known source of conflicts. If you are going to use a Screen Saver, then I suggest doing the following: 1) If you are going to spend a period of time at your PC, disengage the Screen Saver, and 2) If you are going to leave your PC running while you go to lunch or what ever, create a short cut from the Control Panel to the Desktop so that you can engage or disengage the Screen Saver at will. You will be better off in the end. Tray Programs If you are running iTunes products it is also a good ideal to shut down any programs that are not necessary to keep the conflicts to a minimum. Especially if you going to copy music to your iPod or iTunes player.
5)Internet Connection – In this last subject of this opening series I would like to briefly touch upon your actual Internet Connection. This can also be a source of conflict. If you are a Bell South user and have inside line filters on your phone lines as well as fax lines I suggest you consider getting rid of them. Then contact Bell South and have them come out to your home and install a line splitter on your line at the point of entry into your home. There is no charge for doing this. Fax Machines: If you have one and it is sharing your phone line I recommend considering putting it on a dedicated line, if you can afford it. Bellsouth will work with you in spreading out your payments on your phone bill. Once you have done this you will notice an immediate improvement in your connect.
In closing, everything that has been presented here for your consideration I have personally gone through. To date, as a result of my efforts I rarely have any problems. I am currently running the new update 7.0 When I do have a problem I can quickly pin point the problem and resolve the issue. Also, everything that has been presented here can cause a conflict by either direct or indirect means. Example of how a conflict can affect iTunes products: lets take the iPod for example, either one of the above can cause a conflict in such a way as to keep you from properly transferring your songs from the iTunes player to the iPod itself. This is why you don’t want to miss my next upcoming series.
In my HDD Formatting Series, I will show you how to properly lay out a hard drive in a way that will cut down the conflicts. Because of the amount of information that I will be providing, I may have to break it into two to three series on the subject. I can guarantee you though if you follow my suggestions in the series you will notice an improvement in your system. The principles of this information can be applied to all connections. Print these series off and save them as a reference points for yourself or others. I look forward to seeing you in my next series.

Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install

I am running Win 7 Ultimate. Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install on my computer after I signed up for Adobe CC tonight. I am currently using the CS5 suite (perpetual license) and do not want to uninstall any of the programs until I am successfully running the Adobe CC versions. The AAM gives me an error message saying that it failed to open when I select it, and the creative cloud installer fails to install. I have tried restarting my computer. Help?

How do I save a link to my desktop?

How do I save a link to my desktop. In IE I used to save a link to my desktop for a website that I wanted to look at again. I guess I could bookmark it, but I usually only do that for sites that I visit often. In IE the option was under File > Send Link. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hey terenceholt,
This is actually really easy to do. All you have to do is go to the webpage that you want to bookmark. Click on the site icon to the left side of the URL and drag the icon to your desktop.
It's probably easier to see it done, so you should look at the KB article [[Creating a desktop shortcut to a web page]].
Hope this helps!

Can I add a topic link to a desktop layout sidebar tab?

Hello,
I'm currently working in Robohelp 10 and using a modified version of the desktop layout. We don't need the Glossary tab in the sidebar, so I'd like to replace it with a Videos tab instead. I was able to add a new tab to the sidebar without a problem, but I'm having difficulty figuring out where to go from here. Ideally, when users click on Videos, I'd like it to launch one of our topics that already lists all our current videos and includes links to them. Is it possible to do this? Or is my only option to manually add the video links to that tab's section in the Topic.slp HTML? I'd like to avoid this if possible, since it would mean maintaining the videos list in multiple locations within the help project.
Thanks in advance,
Alison

The question is always how much time and effort you are willing to invest. The easy answer is that the tab in the sidebar does not load topics, or any other data for that matter. If you want this behaviour, you will have to create it yourself.
It is possible to create a script to load the list of video's from a predetermined location. But if you want to get it from a topic, the script will have to be interesting as it will require a lot of parsing the topic to get the relevant data. An easier solution would be to maintain an XML with links and descriptions and read that. I offer consultancy for building precisely these kinds of solutions. Please PM me if you want to know more.
Kind regards,
Willam

Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?

Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
It opens up a blank page. The only way to make the link work is to click on the navigation bar in the new tab and press enter to reload the link.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this:

FrameMaker 9 - URL's not linked and/or not updated in .pdf output

I'm editing (or trying to) a .book that someone else (former tech writer at work) created. I can find the URL references (markers) and have updated them and/or updated the commands in them as best I can tell. (As best I can tell meaning that I see them saying that they are linked to the right address. We now require https: where we previously support http: access to a certain site, so I'm having to update all of the links that would go to that site that are included in the document that I'm trying to update)
The problem is multiple, as in I'm working on 2 different documents. In one of them it would appear that most of the links are just gone. Where I edited the marker to go to the right site there is no longer a link to the site at all.. just the text that shows the site name that was there as a hotlink before :-(
In the second document I'm having a similar issue, the hotlink that should be going to the site I want to reference is just gone. The text that should be a hotlink to the site is there, it's underlined as it was before, but the hotlink is gone... just the text remains with no hotlink in the .pdf file that is created when I print the book to .pdf
The other issue is that I updated the markers in the headers/footers to go to the https: address and yet the links that are there in the headers/footers are showing http: and that is where the hotlinks are trying to get to.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer on what I may be doing wrong or how to correct the issue.
Thanks!

Barry,
It could be that whomever was creating the documents before simply relied on Acrobat's ability to convert URLs to active links dynamically, instead of inserting the actual hypertext markers on the FM end of things. In that case, you will have to add the markers manually.
There also may be a conflict between what Acrobat is automatically trying to interpret as a link and what you have defined by the marker to be the link. FM uses the formatting range that the marker is inserted into to delimit the "hot" zone for the link. So if the marker is inserted outside of a formatting change (i.e. not blue and underlined), then you may end up with two links in Acrobat.

TS3048 Keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings

My keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings. What do I do?

First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:
Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
