Broken file links

Oh I have a knucklehead friend who thought he'd be bright and move his FCPX clips!!! Now they can't be opened. ANy software to help>?

Impossible to speculate without the URL for the site, or at minimum an example of the file names in question.
Do you have files named starting with a period? That would be a problem for some hosting providers.

Adobe Muse Site Broken File Links

I posted my sire and it is riddle with broken image file links. The site isn't loading
I was told the broken image files are due to naming the files with "periods" in the file
name. I need to rename each file and replace it in Muse pages. If that is the case
why did the site look fine when I was viewing in Adobe Business Catalyst posting?
I'm super concerned that I may have to rebuild much of the site with new file name
updates to broken image links.
Anyone? Help is appreciated.

HT4914 missing tracks (broken file limatching iTunes?

I have some missing tracks (broken file links) in itunes, will these sync with iTunes match?

Reply to self: I ultimately did speak to a sympathetic iTunes support staff. But, I figured it out just by talking iot through with him. For reasons that remain unknown, large swaths of my library were "hidden" by Windows. Unhiding and clicking to apply to sub-folders does not function as intended. The Microsoft support personal left it with clicking on every single file and unhiding. But I did ultimately unhide everything by using the HIDDEN parameter in Windows Search, which makes available all files for group clicking "Off" the hidden feature. Unfortunately. major library damage already incurred before all this was figured out. Albums missing tracks, etc. With a folder by folder comparison to several backups, I managed to re-create the basic file structures. I also cleaned the hard disk by shifting old Music backups off the drive so that now there is 769 GB used, 1.16 TB free of a 1.81 TB available hard drive. Rebuilt the library using the latest download available 9/25/2012. Have gone through the shifting of the directory structure out of iTunes/iTunes Media to just iTunes. A shift which I approve of but a warning would have been nice. Have gone through the varisous corrections to Compilations, Music Videos, Audiobooks which are clearly tagged incorrectly as iTunes cannot rebuild to previous specs. And now I am stuck with ERROR, ITUNES LIBRARY CANNOT BE SAVED, -50. Continuing to iognore the message results in a "Not Responding" iTunes, with a required force shutdown. I have used the File, Library, Organize feature several times today. Weeks of effort and I am right back where I started. Steve would be turning over in his grave, where's Apple's perfection? Customers are begging for alternatives and I've just joined their ranks. I want and love my media library but my life is not structured to this type of time committment.

Broken image links on APEX 3.0 in Oracle 10g XE? Here's the solution

You're on Oracle 10g XE and you've just upgraded your APEX from 2.0 to 3.0. You log into APEX Admin and there's tons of broken image links. You look into the Oracle documentation for APEX and it instructs you to copy the Images folder into your htmldb directory if you're using Oracle 10g standard, etc. But you're using Oracle 10g XE and there is no Images folder anywhere to be seen!
HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html
Excerpt from the website:
In OracleXE these resources (Images) are stored directly in the database, using the Oracle XMLDB feature. You can access the resources and modify them directly by using the WebDAV feature of the XMLDB.
(1) With Internet Explorer, just go to File > Open > http://127.0.0.1:8080/i (check "open as webfolder")
Then, copy the contents of your apex/images folder into this webfolder. It will take about 10 minutes. When it's done, refresh your Apex 3.0 website and lo and behold! Images! :)
Be sure to thank Dietmar Aust for his solution to this problem, provided on his website: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html

Another option: Try the Oracle Database XE and Application Express 3.0.1 install guide.

Finding broken files

after changing computers I seem to have a bunch of broken files
I seem to bump into them when I'm syncing my 30g ipod
how can I find them?
I want to either be able to copy the contents of the list that comes up while syncing or
find all the files that are broken in my library

Well, either someone chose a different letter, or the drive letters were assigned from above by an IT department (and ordinary users are locked out of mapping new drives).
It's possible to map the same share twice, if you have the power to do so. So just remap V: to the same network share as Z: and you're good to go, for your own purposes. I'm not sure how you could set it up to cover the rest of your question (so that anyone else opening the file would not get the missing links dialog) without relinking everything yourself. I suppose it'd be scriptable.

Using Reference Mode and checking for broken alias links

I use iPhoto 09 in reference mode (where it doesn't import the pictures into the library). I'm aware of the pitfalls of doing this but, long story-short, it's better for my needs this way. I just wanted to know if there's a way to tell iPhoto to check for missing photos or broken alias links. It seems to just pop-up randomly some time after moving or deleting anything and I'd rather take care of business when it's convenient for me not for iPhoto. I don't move my pictures very often but when I do I want to be able to re-link them immediately and not wait for iPhoto to randomly ask me and then I don't know what album or date the picture is from that its asking me about. Thanks in advance!

I thought you were aware of the pitfalls of running a Referenced Library One of which is that if you move the files iPhoto will lose track of them.
Unfortunately, iPhoto has no mechanism for checking the integrity of the links - another reason I would not use iPhoto in Referenced Mode.
You could try use an app like [FileBuddy|http://www.skytag.com> to check and repair broken aliases. However, if you continue to manage your files without reference to iPhoto then you will continue to have problems.

File links go missing files in bins

Premiere Pro CS6. I'm working on a fairly complex project with lots and lots of still images and dynamic links to AE CS6. Never had this happen before, but while I'm working on a project with lots of bins and sub-bins, I'll go looking for a file and while the bins are all still there, there are no files in them.
My workaround has been to close PPro and reopen the file and voila! they're there. Nothing changes on the timeline, but I can't access the links to move a file to the timeline.
Bug or feature??? I'd say bug, because it certainly doesn't act as a feature to me!
I'd send a bug report, but they don't really seem to help. I've still got the problem of having to render AE CS6 dynamic links inside PPro, which didn't exist in CS5.5 and have turned in several bug reports, with no response from Adobe. sigh Takes up valuable render time.
The work around is not acceptable as it takes up even more time!

I'll go looking for a file and while the bins are all still there, there are no files in them.
"My guess is you have something typed into the search field. Clear that out."
Nope. Nothing in the search box. It's like the database for the bins just disappears randomly. Then when i close the program and reopen it, the file links are back. It's almost like the bins directory(?) loses communications with Premiere (it hasn't happened in AE...yet) so I'm wondering if there's a .dll or some sort of subroutine that directs the bin database.
"Can you be more specific? Every version of PP that has had Dynamic Link has often required the "link" to be rendered in PP for real time playback. This will depend on your hardware and the complexity of the comp."
Yes. When I dynamically linked an AE file to a PPro project in versions CS5 and CS5.5 (and further back as well, when it worked at all!), the render line above the linked project was yellow, showing as not needing a render. In CS6, the behavior is completely different. It shows as needing to render (red). My graphics card is an approved nVidia Quadro, so that's not an issue. In CS6, it's broken. Period. It has disrupted my workflow as I use many compositions from AE in PPro and now have to render a project.
Thanks for the help...or at least looking at the issues. But no resolution here yet.

Can remove broken symbolic link ../../../sparv9/disk_ata

we found a broken symbolic link /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/sparv9/disk_ata
this is on a V440, Solaris 9
would like to ask, any issue if we remove this link, think it should not be a problem, but this is a live server.
Thanks!

This is also surprising the fact that your server is a SunFire V440 means
it should only be using SCSI harddisks. This is really weird.
Anyway, since it is a broken link, you could actually delete for security reasons.
But since you are worried ( I don't blame you, coz I will feel the same way),
the best way is to keep a record of this broken link in a file where you could
access it in the future. So my final advise is, record the broken link (comlete path ) into a file
( you can do a cut and paste ) then secure the file ( chmod 400 filename)
and then delete your broken link. Do you agree ?

Unreported broken alias link

RoboHelp HTML 2002
We deleted 3 context sensitive HIDD topics from our project.
The alias file still shows the links from the .hm file to the
help topics.
When we run the broken links report, these 3 topics do not
show up as broken links, even though there are no topics.
Usually the Broken Links report catches these, and we un-link
the topics in the alias file.
The topics are really deleted from the project, and they
don't show up when I look at the project topic folder in Windows
Explorer. I don't see any baggage file link that keeps the topics
somehow connected to the project.
Any ideas about why these broken alias links do not show up
as broken in the broken links report?
Thanks for your help.

Did you Repair Permissions and Repair Drive using Disk Utility on the Time Machine drive?
If all this fails, if you have a drive that is large enough you can do a Time Machine restore to that drive. Boot from the drive then do a search for the original files.

Broken file connections - lots!

I am a relatively new user to LR and I moved a few hundred images on my Mac without realising that it should have been done through LR. I now have a few hundred broken image links. The tutorial seems to indicate that I must re-connect them one by one. Is this true or is there a ya I can connect multiple images in folders?

It really depends on exactly what you did. If, for example, you moved individual images from lots of dirreent folders to different folders then yes, doing image by image is likely what you have to do (though checking the "Find nearby missing photos" box might help some).
But if, OTOH, you simply moved a folder or two from one place to another (in which case the folders themselves will have the "?" mark in the Folders Panel in the Library module), then you can operate at the folder level, not individual photo level. Ctrl-click on the missing folder and choose "Find Missing Folder", a file browser window opens, use it to select the folder in its new location and Lightroom will update itself to reflect the new location.
So, what did you do?

Broken file references

I have been trying to "fix" my broken file references using the link "iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music Folder" but when I get to number 8 "Click Create" there is no "Create" button for me to click. If I hit "ok" it has my new folder listed under iTunes Folder Music Location. However, when I click "ok" it goes to Updating Music Library". I never get a message that says "Changing the location of the iTunes Music Folder requires updating the location of each of the songs in you music library. This update will not move or delete any of your song files."
I have retried this several times. What am I doing wrong?!
I have iTunes version 6.0.4.2.

Multiple file links in a single page: A better way to/efficient way to handle ?

Aloha Everyone!
I would like to ask the community how they have handled multiple file links in a single page. Sort of a pseudo database of files.
Here is the webpage I have been working on:http://huichawaii.org/
Here is what I have done to show files so far:
old version:http://huichawaii.org/proceedings---2012-education%2c-math---engineering-technology.html
new version: http://huichawaii.org/ahs2013-proceedings.html
The website works best in Chrom or Firefox, still have to convert the flash header to an edge animate .
Mahalo in advance for everyone's input!

Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.
