Broken links to database stored gif's

I installed 9i AS 1.0.2 for NT and immediately after that the hlw-tutorial files. Now some (not all) links are broken, e.g. in the hlw navigation bar the link to the "home" (http://servername/pls/portal30/docs/249.gif). The file 249.gif is stored in wwdoc_document$ with a pathid of 209. As I didn't find an appropriate table in user_tab_columns resolving the pathid: does anyone know where this pathid is resolved or - even better - what the cause of that error is?
Thanks in advance
Klaus

I have the same problem. Without any known reasons the links to many items are broken. These are not only gif-images but all items which are created or linked in a content area. When i click on such a broken link-item the following error-message appears:
Invalid name

Who knows the reason for this problem ? Can anybody help ?

Why doesn't the Quicktime site have an easy way to report broken links?

Perhaps Apple thinks this site is perfect?
The link to 'The heart is deceitful above all things' has been down for DAYS -- surely something the producers of that movie would not be happy about??
There's no simple way (that I can see) to report such a broken link - just for the heck of it I spent 20 minutes looking for a way to report this minor glitch, and there doesn't seem to be one (or I'm missing the obvious).
Maybe someone who can do something will read this!

Thanks very much for the link!
...but where is the "link to the link" on the Quicktime site.... if I didn't know where to look for this, how would I find out about it, or realize that this is the way to report a simple broken link?
Is this bad site design or am I just plain blind!?
I'm just frustrated that the site doesn't have a simple way to report this (I've seen similar broken links before on the Movie site, and they often persist for days). If you hadn't helped me out I don't think I would have figured out how to do this!

Broken links on CCNA Discovery page

Hi there,
I just wanted to bring attention to the broken links on the CCNA Discovery page. I am currently studying for my CCNA and was informed that there was a CCNA exam discount program offered by Cisco for completion of these learning modules. Not all of the links to the learning modules are missing, just a majority of them.
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/netacad/course_catalog/Certification_Exam_Discount_Program.html
Is this something that Cisco still offers or would the broken links imply this is an expired offer?
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
- Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for bringing to our attention that the link is broken. Will work to get that fixed.
CCNA Discovery is a four course curriculum offered within the Cisco Networking Academy Program. Students who participate in Networking Academy, have access to a discount voucher upon completing the final assessment with a specific score or higher.
If you are currently a Networking Academy student, your instructor should be able to activate the exam and then you can try to qualify. If you are not a NetAcad student, you are not eligible for a voucher.
Does that help?

Deleted a pic, broken link, lesson learned

Thanks to Beverly Maneatis' description in other posts I learned that iDVD 09 project file does not hold all the elements needed (images, pics, sound clips) for a project. I made a DVD for my brother who took his family to Disney. Imagine my surprise when the Drop Zones showed the "broken link" icon; I had deleted the images I dropped thinking they'd be saved within the project file.
So my question to you all: how do you organize your iDVD workspace? Do you set a up a folder and add ALL files associated w/ the project including the saving of proj. file?
Cheers
Frank

You do not have to regorganize your workspace to utilize iDVD without losing your links. You can certainly do this if you wish and if it seems to be more sensible to you, but it is not necessary if you do not disturb any of the media you are using.
I save ALL of my iDVD projects as disk image files after I have finished editing the project, before I burn to disk. I do not rename, move, delete or change any of the media elements used in the project until after the disk image has been created, and I have used it to burn at least one DVD disk. Then, before deleting anything, I play the burned DVD to be absolutely certain it is correct.
When I have done that, I delete the original iDVD project and the original iMovie used to create the iDVD project, both to save space and because I no longer need the iDVD projects.
A disk image file is self-contained....all the media used is encoded within it so you don't have to worry about losing it.
(I also export my edited iMovie back to miniDV tape in my camcorder...my reason to stay with iM6).
The only reason to keep an iDVD project is if you think you might want to re-edit. If you always keep the images used for it in the same location, iDVD can always locate them for burning. But, for me, once I have finished the project and a burned disk plays correctly, I have rarely wanted to go back and change/redo the project. Once I found a spelling error on one of the subtitles, and once I found some other minor error, which I corrected before deleting the project. I have probably created several hundred iDVD projects, and I have not found the need to redo them. If I need another DVD of any project, I just burn from the disk image file, using Disk Utility.

How can we remove podcasts with broken links?

The organization I work for has some old podcasts (2011) listed in iTunes; the links to all the MP3s are broken. No one in the organization has any idea who posted these items in the first place, so needless to say, we have no idea what account they're linked to. We'd just like for those podcasts to stop appearing in iTunes -- is there a way to flag the broken links so the podcasts don't show up any more?
Thanks in advance.

The feed for that is still up at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/RichardRohrHomilies
Ideally you should remove it, which would ensure it being removed from the Store (a cached version would show until they removed it) - however you will need the login to Feedburner to do this, which presumably you don't have. In that case you can only hope that the fact that none of the media files can be accessed will be sufficient.

TS3276 Broken links when i send a web page from mail app in mavericks

i used to send a web page from safari using Mail. since i updated to maverick, those who receive the mail, see broken links, is there a solution for this?
Thanks

Same here. Very frustrating. It was working perfectly in OS 10.8.

Remove broken links in RH 7.0.2

I'm working on a project where the Help covers two different releases of a plug-in Adapter. I thought I was going to have to have two different sets of files for one section of the product for release 4 and release 5, so I copied the existing folder and had "feature" and "feature4" folders. Then, as it turned out, there weren't that many differences, so I deleted the "feature4" fodler. I deleted the files and folder from within RoboHelp, so I assumed that if there had been any problems, I would have received a warning. Apparently I was wrong. =(
Now I have Broken Links that refer to that deleted "feature4" folder. I do NOT want to restore those files, because I don't need them. I've checked all the hyperlinks in the topics in the "feature" folder and in the generated output, and they all seem to work.
So, my question is, what file does RoboHelp use to store hyperlinks? Is there any way to go in and hack the code to remove broken links to files that you have deleted and don't want to restore?

Well that only took me three hours. I had four broken links to repair. At one point I had one fixed and then it came back. *shakes fist at sky*
Can I just say that the Broken Links feature is remarkably unhelpful and non-intuitive?
For anyone else who is here searching for answers, here's what I did. (because "go in and fix it manually" is remarkably UNhelpful if you don't know what you're looking for)
Under the Broken Links folder, double-click the broken link reference.
In the Topic References dialog, click one of the references, then click Edit. The topic will open.
Click the HTML tab so you're looking at the code view.
In the toolbar, go to Edit > Find.
Search for links within the HTML code (I used part of the HTML code for a link, "href" as my search term).
When you find the link code that matches what is shown in the Broken Links view, fix the link (edit the code, or place your cursor in the link then click the Design tab, then remove/replace the hyperlink).
Two of my links required me to search the code as described above. I searched the code view and located the references to the "feature4" folder and deleted or corrected them. The other two were links to deleted or renamed files, so I clicked Restore in the Topic References dialog box, recreated the files, then deleted the recreated files. That seemed to fix those links.
Oy, now to get some actual work done today!

PAL-M Capture Suport, who is responsible?

I would like to ask 3 things? ?(
1. Is PAl-m capture support a software problem or hardware problem?
2. If Pal-m capture support a software problem, who is responsible for that?
3. Does anybody knows when will be available?
Thanks.

As for both of you, I would suggest you e-mail Phillips who build the capture chip and e-mail Nvidia who supply the drivers. As your problems maybe out of MSI's hand you could e-mail them and see what they say.
(You have the link kamaleonb for Phillips from previous post.)
You could try a program called VirtualVCR for capture. It is a simple program, and you may be able to lie to it so it will get colour for you. ?( ?(
Good luck

Who's responsible for in App Ads?

What hapened?
Had today a bad experience with an AppStore App (faceGoo lite). My kids used it in the last days and if you tip backwards in the right top corner you can accidently tip on the add a $$$ number, which dials instantly without any further question. Never heard about the possibility of this "trojan" use on iOS.
Is this function really
Had read about errors/ problems with inApp buys so this is all disabled (no pw saved on the iOS devices). But i'm really shoked that kind of this function is possible on iOS. Apple should ad a policy like "can app xyz access to the dial function".
This kind of numbers are blocked now o all our devices.
We discussed in the company i work for how to deal with Google Store as we ramp out a big amount of Galaxies. For the existing iOS devices we need to rethink also if Apple AppStore can be used as a trusted store. Up to now it's defined as a trusted store where Google play will be menaged with a blacklist.
I like to sue the company resonsible for this, because it's a 4+ App and my kids can't read/ can't read ENG. I only talk about a couple of $ no big amount. But in this occation it's a question how this guys got the money. So i'll make a "pysical" extraction with cellebrite UFED touch tomorrow to save evidence and handle it over.
Can anyone tellme how to find who's responsible for the in app adds of given app? As I've access to the plist stuff (via cellebrite) on the phone i can check all flags and settings.

I made a note to apple in the app store. How to find the address of a publisher in app store? The website of the developer is registered through godaddy and than hidden again with an other publisher in the godaddy Whois information. At trace shows that the website I hosted by Amazon.
I found one person (co founder) but having no address to contact him. Is there a company register in the US to find the address of the company?
But to come back to the problem. Apple should redefine the policy using in app content/ ads by the developer. The content should be usefull and understandable by the audience the app is made for. And a $$$ dialer link is not 4+ level. And this dialer was not in the initial release.

The broken link error

Hi,
Please help me with this broken link error in Office Excel 2010. Thank you.
The problem is: a broken link cannot be removed from the file. The link was used in data validation, which refers to a list of values. After the path was corrected, it still shows there’s a broken link. Here are the details:
I have 4 files named “000TVA_Test – 3”, “000TVA_Test – 4”, “000TVA_Test – 5”, and “000TVA_Test – 6”. The posterior files were developed based on the previous files.
In Test-3, sheet “Template “, cell “L4”, “O4”, “R4”… were built as dropdown list using data validation. The list source is in the “Library” worksheet. There’s no problem so far.
Test-4 was firstly copied from Test-3. In this file I renamed the worksheet from “Library” to “Setting” and the link was broken from here. I can also fix the broken link in this file. (While I didn’t realize there was a broken link.)
In Test-5 I fixed the path, but every time when opening the file, the broken link still shows.
In Test-6 I’ve removed the data validations. The broken link is still there.
I tried to find solutions online. I tried common methods, cannot find anything in the files is still using links. I also tried the “findlink.xla” add-in, but it only worked for Test-4, and couldn’t find the link in other files.
Please help. Thank you!
I uploaded files here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=1A97736E0ABBAA41!113&authkey=!AF5wAd9rwUPnYyE&ithint=folder%2cxlsm
Thanks again!

Hi,
Based on my tested the files downloaded, I found that Test-5 & Test-6 included the "A defined name that refers to an external workbook", Test-4 had not. (Please click Formula Tab>Name Manage, you'll see them.)
However, the Break Links command cannot break the following types of links:
A defined name that refers to an external workbook
A ListBox control with an input range that refers to an external workbook.
A DropDown control with an input range that refers to an external workbook.
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/291984/en-us (It also applies to Excel 2010)
Thus, we'd better try the workaround： re-build the Test-5 & Test 6.

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?

I have checked the Tomcat log, which does not give
much information:

Perform(RequestProcessor.java:484)Tomcat has more than one log file. The servlet's System.out messages must be going to a different file if this is all you are seeing. Either look in the other log files or change the lines
         se.printStackTrace();
         throw new MessageDAOSysException("Error executing SQL in ThreadHandler.createThread."); // line 54 where the problem occurredto simply read:
        throw se;and the actual Exception you want to investigate will go in to the file where you found the above. This will be less useful in the long run as you'll have the same problem when you want to query the SQLException further with System.out.println(se.getSQLState()); etc.
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.
