Broken link to old thread

Hi,
I was trying to follow a link to an old thread as mentioned in the last post of Re: JPS Tool in Java 6 update 1 but it's obviously not working anymore.
Any chance I can still find that thread using the forumID and threadID URL parameters? And no, I don't have the title of that topic - that's all the info I have :/
Here's the mentioned URL:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=537&threadID=5133218
Thanks.

Links from old threads are not parsing in new "Communities" Forum - Fail!

As much as I am yet to be impressed with the new Communities look and feel this is functional aspect which need to be patched by Apple, and fast.
Old threads used the [Anchor text | uri link] syntax to define hyperlinked text. The new Communittees site is not parsing it correctly so old threads are full of this syntax in plain text — NOT PARSED to create links.
Everybody in QA and beta testing on this Forum Site at Apple needs a rocket under there ares for this very basic miss.(presumably it was made at Apple although I know RADAR is outside-ware)

[text | uri ] not parsed:

Ridiculous cascade threading because of massive changes to the style of boards. Column's of text in this thread are now down to as little as 3 char wide:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13333695#13333695
Apple this really *****. Totally apart from the look and feel of Communities which I'm reserving judgement on until I give a fair trial (but so far that ***** even more than the parsing junk). Why everything except the box I'm typing in has to be oversized to Duplo scale (are kindergarten kids using Communities already?) semi-bold font-face I can't guess.

Links in old posts broken

I've been getting alerts from old threads where a poster complains about a post I made with a link and the link is broken. Here's an example. Finding back these posts hasn't been easy until I discovered the pattern. The original link in the post was:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2181939&SiteID=1
And it got altered, presumably during the forums site move to:
http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2181939&SiteID=1
But it should have been altered to:
http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/clr/thread/e86ab11d-6325-4099-bbae-6fe165f20995/
Mapping the old PostID to the new Guid isn't exactly easy of course. But the link still works if I remove the "msdn." portion of the link. Could you please run a dbase update script that corrects all these broken links back to their original content. It shouldn't be hard considering that a link that contains "forums.msdn" and "PostID" is always broken.

When I open iTunes on my new computer using the .itl file, and using the same external drive holding the songs, all of the songs I added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links, while none of the songs have broken links on the old computer.

I want to open the iTunes library on my new laptop with all the playlists and stuff I built on the old computer. I have all my music on an external drive. I have copied the .itl file from the old computer and opened it on the laptop, and it has all the playlists, but all of the songs that were added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links. What am I doing wrong?

Moving library files around while leaving the data in the same place usually presents no problems. Moving the data around independently from the library usually breaks things. With Windows machines all you should need to do is make sure that the same drive letter is being used on the new system as with the old. If that is not possible you need to get your library into a portable layout before moving it between systems.
Typical layout of iTunes folders:
When the media folder is inside the main iTunes folder as shown above then the library is portable. Typically with a split library the iTunes Music or iTunes Media folder (everything inside the red outline) is moved to a different drive by choosing a new locaton for it and then consolidating.
To make the library portable again you need to copy the library files and album artwork folder into the parent folder of the media folder so that the nested relationship is recreated. (BTW If your media isn't already inside your designated media folder then you will also need to consolidate the files that are outside of it, before you copy the library files.) You can then use the hold-down-shift-when-starting-iTunes method to open the library file in that parent folder. Once the library has been opened, tested and closed you are most of the way there.
The iTunes window inherits its title from the folder holding the library files so, unless you created a folder called iTunes to hold the media folder, iTunes may now have an unexpected title when you run it. The parent folder can be renamed as iTunes, and the library opened again. Alternatively, if the parent folder is at the root of the drive, or has other data which you wish to leave in place, you can create a new top level folder called iTunes and move the library files, album artwork and media folders into it before opening and testing the library again.
If the library doesn't work after any step simply reverse it by undoing a move or rename or opening the previous set iTunes Library.itl file.
If all has gone well then the library is now portable. Once you've migrated the data to a new system you can copy the library files back to their usual internal location if you find that having them on the external drive affects performance...

Orphaned files - broken links - URGENT

Hi everyone
I am currently going through and deleting 675 orphaned files
and files that are old although if they create a broken link after
deletion this will not show when I re run the link checker even
though I know they are. Does anyone know why this is? I can't keep
deleting things if it is going to create a broken link within the
site. Also, is there any way of finding out where an individual
document is located on the site if at all?
Second issue is that orphaned files that I have deleted in
both the local site and remote site are still coming up when I do
the link check. Why is this so and how can I get them removed from
the orphaned files list?
Please help
Merry

many of the people offering answers use the NNTP newsgroup
reader version.
the webforum has been flaky lately i think.
Here's my reply from a while ago-
after deleting files- recreate the site cache.
It's under the site menu on older versions, under
site-->advanced on newer.
dw's link checker checks html links, and links in "behaviors"
that it
understands.
it will not check links in most javascript.
What's an example of a broken link that dw didn't warn of
when deleting the
reported orphan? �url address to the page??
and here are links to a google archive of the newsgroup.

How to restore broken links after server migration in Indesign CS3???

Hi All,
I have used my google skills to no avail and everything I have read here has been a dead end for me. I can't be the only person in this situation, so hopefully someone can help!
My marketing department has reached the storage limits of our shared network drive. Located on this drive is our (HUGE) image library which acts as a single central respository serving up our indesign links (read here: we don't package files - to conserve space). We have decided that in an effort to create a true archive and have more space for our image library we need to migrate the library to a new 16 terabit Drobo (yay!).
The problem is that every INDD file that links to the current library will now suffer from broken links. We literally have hundreds of INDD files and thousands of links. The good news is...the file structure isn't changing at all! Just the server location is changing. Is there any way to to a batch update of the links that tells INDD to look for the exact same file path on a different drive?
In short:
current image library (old server): marketing/image library/photos/products/multiple product folders
new image library (new server): drobo/image library/photos/products/multiple product folders
I want to point InDesign to the new server and have it pick up the file path without having to navigate to each and every file individually. Voila!
Is this even possible? Is there any 3rd party software to help? Other architechture solutions that might be suggested?
Thanks so much for the help!
Alex

You can specify a platform-specific path name, or a path in a platform-independent format known as universal resource identifier (URI) notation, or Mac OS 9 path name (for Mac).
For example any of the following notations are valid:
Windows
c:\dir\file (Windows path name)
/c/dir/file (URI path name)
//10.44.54.70/Test/images (uniform naming convention (UNC) path name of the form //servername/sharename)
//Apple/Test/images
\\10.44.54.70\Test\images (Windows path name)
\\Apple\Test\images (Windows path name)
where 10.44.54.70 IP address of the server, Apple -- DNS name of the server, Test -- share name
Mac
The following examples assume that the startup volume is MacOSX, and that there is a mounted volume Remote.
/dir/file (Mac OS X path name)
/MacOSX/dir/file (URI path name)
MacOSX:dir:file (Mac OS 9 path name)
/Remote/dir/file (URI path name)
Remote:dir:file (Mac OS 9 path name)
Remote/dir/file (Mac OS X path name)
You can just copy a part of the path in Links panel and paste it to the script's dialog. In CS4, make sure to choose "Copy Platform Style Path" in context menu.
The case of the characters doesn’t matter: you can type both in upper and lowercase in the script's dialog. For example — Test, test, TEST, TeSt — are all the same for the script.

[CS5.5/CS6] what causes a kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss to throw an exception with broken links?

I have a problem in both CS5.5 and CS6 on MacOS X.
During a drag operation onto an InDesign document, I import and place some images onto a page. This normally works without issue except in one case. The problem case is when I'm trying to import an image that is the same file path as a broken link on the document. This will crash InDesign everytime.
Let me provide some details.
First, I create an InDesign document, drag some images from the Finder and place them on the page and save the InDesign document to file. Now I go to the Finder and delete the images (or just move them to a different Folder). I then go back to InDesign and look at the Links panel where the red stop signs now appear near the images to show that the links are broken.
Next I go to a panel that I'm working on where I can drag an item from the panel and onto the InDesign document page. In this I have a ProcessDragDropCommand method that over rides the method in the CDragDropTargetFlavorHelper class, and during that method it copies the images that I just deleted back into their original locations on the file system.
After copying the files, the process then tries to import one of the images into a new frame using the PlaceFileInFrame method from the InDesign SDK file SDKLayoutHelper.cpp. This method creates a kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss and when executing the line:
if (CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(importAndPlaceCmd) != kSuccess) {
causes an exception that appears in the crash report as:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILUE at 0x0000000000000000
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
with a stack trace that points to the CmdUtils::ProcessCommand() line mentioned above.
I've tried relinking the images before the import and place, but that still doesn't work. If I break the process up so that in one drag event I copy the missing files back into place and relink them, then in a second drag event I then do an import and place it all works okay. It's just when I try the full task of copy images into place in the file system, relink the images on the InDesign document and then import and place an image in a new frame on the InDesign page that the exception is appearing.
Instead of the kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss I've also tried the kImportAndLoadPlaceGunCmdBoss with the same problem.
Interestingly, in the SDKLayoutHelper method PlaceFileInFrame that I'm using, there's a pragma message:
#pragma message("LINKREWORK: Temporary, fix this up later!")
// TODO: LINKREWORK fix.
From the wording I'm wondering if this is related to the problem that I'm seeing. In which case does anyone know what this fix might entail?
I've tried tried relinking using ReinitResource and UpdateLinks methods that are a part of the ILkniFacade but that doesn't seem to help stop the crash.
Oddly, I can generate a strange and maybe related error (that doesn't use my plugins and just the raw InDesign functionality) if I do something like:
In InDesign, create an InDesign document.
From the Finder, drag some images onto the InDesign document page.
In InDesign, save the document.
In the Finder, rename the folder containing the images.
In InDesign, check that the links really are broken with the red stop signs appearing.
In the Finder, rename the folder containing the images back to what it was before.
(Extra Step)
In the Finder, redrag the same images that you did before onto the InDesign page.
This will cause InDesign to throw up the following error message:
Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application
Of course, if in the above you introduce an Extra Step where you just go back to InDesign and do nothing. InDesign will relink the once missing images, so that when you go back to the Finder to drag the images there's now no problem.
This is almost like InDesign needs a few IdleTasks in order to sort out its perception of the file system. If that's the case then I'm a bit stuck as I'm trying to do everything during a single drag operation and there's no chance of any IdleTasks occuring.
Any ideas?

You could add a logging configuration to your servlets context in server.xml so you can define where such messages get logged.
Alternatively you could use a logging API like log4j.

A LOT of iTunes broken links/tracks after Music folder move...

So yeah, I'm getting a TON of broken links / dead track links in iTunes after having to do two things to my iTunes install recently and I'm at wits end trying to fix it.
I keep my iTunes Music Folder on an external and share the iTunes library between my work Macbook Pro and my home Macbook. Every Friday I drag my iTunes folder and all contents from my MBP onto an external and replace the iTunes folder on the 'weekend' MB, then do the same back on Monday. I keep my iTunes music 'View' as 'Date Added' so that I can always be listening to whatever is newest. It's how I roll.
Well, this week I had some data problems during the transfer and had to use a previous week's iTunes Music Folder, which was fine as I hadn't added much this week.
I also got a new external because the old one was getting a little shady, so after doing the iTunes Music Folder replacement I moved my music all over to a new external drive, told iTunes where it all was at. iTunes did it's thing, 'organized' my stuff and all seemed good - until I got back deeper into the catalogue of music and started getting a LOT of broken tracks. The songs are still there, in the correct folders and all, but for some reason iTunes isn't finding them.
When I say a LOT, I mean so far it's hundreds of my 13,000 songs.
Now I COULD use the 'Super Remove Dead Tracks' script from Doug's to find all the broken files then re-add the whole library, but it will add all the old songs out of order because they will get a new 'Added' date.
I could also manually move thru my whole library holding down the arrow key for 'Next' to find all the broken links then go thru, select them, and use the 'iTunes Track CPR' script from Doug's to re-add them to the library with ratings intact, but still they will be out of order time-wise.
I cannot find a script that will parse my library, find broken links, and re-associate them with their tracks, nor can I figure out why this happened and any other way to fix it. Repairing permissions hasn't helped. Any other ideas?

Just to follow up with a more comprehensive example of looping through a Library to detect & repair "missing" file-tracks:
<pre>

set thisKind to (kind of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisNameExt to "m4a" -- ... Default

-- Assign this new target file (as an AS 'alias' object) to this file-track

Link checker does not seem to see some broken links-why?

Hi,
I have a problem with the link checker, it does not seem to report some broken links. Here is the context in which it happens.
My site root folder contains (subset) :
index.php
Templates/child_userarea.dwt
user-area/downloads.html
(The file downloads.html is based on child_userarea.dwt.)
In the template, I have <a href="../../index.php" title="Home page">Home</a>.
In downloads.html, this link appears as <a href="file:///M|/Website/index.php" title="Home page">Home</a>.
According to this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/934203#934203 by Murray, this is because Dreamweaver (CS4 in my case) thinks that index.php is outside the site root folder. I understand it thinks so because indeed ../../index.php points to the folder parent of the root folder. What I don't get is why doesn't the link checker report that ../../index.php does not exist? (And I'm sure it doesn't, there is no file called index.php outside the root folder.)

That's the thing, it is correct! I have checked many times. Here is what is says:
and M:\Website\CERC15\ does exist.
For the time being, I have corrected the paths in the template, so for that particular file, it is now ok. However, I have no idea whether other paths are wrong since I am not sure any longer whether they are spotted by the link checker. I searched for other instances of file:///M|/Website and there is none left.
I suspect this is just one more problem due to another problem non-identified so far (see e.g.http://forums.adobe.com/thread/506149?tstart=30). Since I renamed a big batch of files, I have had problems after problems: the templates disappearing (see that other post); I also lost all the files in 4 other folders (files for download linked to the pages through <a> tags); and Dreamweaver has become particularly slow (but this seems to have been fixed with erasing the cache and the personal preferences).
I'd like to start from scratch again (and why not reinstall Dreamweaver), but I don't know how to recreate the site from zero without loosing anything (e.g. links to templates).

Preview Pane and broken link issues in CS2 for Mac. Please help!

I posted this a few days ago - but would love to have some insight on how we can resolve this issue
When I am working on html documents, both old and new, I have lost all of the 'preview pane' buttons.
I can still see and have access to the layout and source panes, but the two preview (pdf and regular) are missing.
In the body of the editor all of the images that were there now show just a broken link image (but when you save and go to view the file in a browser all changes and updates are there. The source shows all of the right info and links
Also when you place a new image - the image icon doesn't show the image or even change to the proper size that the image is. You have to do that manually and then still only shows a broken icon in the new size.
Has anyone seen this before? Did I accidentally altered a mode in GoLive....is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!!!

When you have ADE (digital editions) open with "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

HT4623 I now have broken links to apps after 7.1.1 update.

Indesign broken link file open performance

We use Indesign CS3 on a windows network with a DFS backend handling data replication.
We recently changed server technology, to take advantage of windows DFS, and that subsequently changed the unc path that is in the links inside of our Indesign documents.
The old server name in the unc is non existant and physically does not exist.
When we would open the Indesign file, even a smal file of 40 meg or so, it would take 20 to 30 minutes to open.
Once we had corrected the links, the file would open fine.
On a whim, I added the old server name back to our DNS and pointed it to another machine internally.
Now the Indesign files, with broken links, now opens in seconds.
It was like Indesign was trying to physically find the old server, couldn't, try again, repeat, repeat, etc...
Is this how Indesign works when verifying the links upon file open?
Just want to make sure that this bandaide will continue to work.
Thanks.

yes - if you have network links and you have active network connection - InDesign will try to find server - but if you disconnect your network - InDesign will recognise that network is offline and will not try to find server

I do not know how to repair broken links

Greetings, I am attempting to repair all broken links for a assignment in Dreamweaver CS5 C7 and I could not find any instruction in the text on how to repair broken links.. How is it done?

The simplest way is to remove old links and insert new ones via the link field in your properties panel.

Phantom broken links in Dreamweaver CS6

Dreamweaver shows that I have 73 broken links, but they all work in my browser (and other people's browsers). Why? How do I get Dreamweaver to recognize that the links are not broken?
I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS 6 on a Windows 7 PC. The website is www.mathguy.us. I set it up through GoDaddy.com
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Based on your comment, I took a look at the common thread on all of the missed files. 4 of them are PHP issues, like you suggested. The other 69 links all had ampersands in them. I suppose this is the issue. I will try changing the file names to use "and" instead of "&" and see if that helps. Thank you for your suggestion.
Update: This worked. I can deal with 4 identified broken links due to PHP. Taking the ampersand out of the file names fixed the rest. Thank you very much!

I get the following error and the old thread on this did not solve my problem. Does anyone have an idea how to fix it. The error is "an error occured sending command to application"

When I open a link from Microsoft outlook I get the following error
"An error occured sending command to application" The old thread on this does not help and it is closed.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hello Anonymous.
You will need to contact Microsoft for support on Outlook.
