Broken links with new EXT HDD

My Aperture library sits on a networked EXT HDD called Pictures HD. I decided the drive was getting a little old so swapped it for a new one. I've copied the entire contents over to the new drive, given it exactly the same name (Pictures HD) but when I open Aperture, all my referenced files are showing up as disconnected. I can't see why this should be as the new drive is basically a clone of the old one.
Any ideas what I need to be doing differently?

If you have already, outside of Aperture, copied all of your referenced files to the new HD (and kept your Library on your system HD), don't use "Relocate Masters". That would have been a better way to populate your new HD -- but that is already done. Use "Locate Referenced Files". This command allows you to tell Aperture to, in fact, locate the Masters of the images in the Library. If you copied without alteration the folder structure of the referenced files, you will be able to simply tell Aperture where one of the Masters is on your new HD, and Aperture will find all the others.
Alternatively, you could wipe the new drive clean with a fresh format, then use the "Relocate Masters" command with both the old and the new HDs mounted.
In general, it is recommended that other than back-up you do all file management from within Aperture. Both "Relocate Masters" and "Locate Referenced Files" work well.

  • Resolve Broken Links with No Reference

    I have many broken links in a webhelp project that I cannot
    resolve because there is no reference. Is there a way to delete
    broken links?

    Hi, I have a similar problem and cannot seem to get rid of a
    bunch of broken links.
    Basically at some point this project file had an html
    subfolder that was taken out. Consequently many topics had
    html\<topicname>.htm and then became <topicname>.htm.
    My problem is now that these files with the html\ folder are
    under broken links and now don't reference or link to anything if I
    right-click on them. I cannot restore them, delete them, or edit
    them in any way.
    I find that it is also creating problems when the WebHelp is
    generated and put on our server, several topics give a "file not
    found" error because they are searching for html\ in the filename
    and of course cannot find it. I have fixed these by searching and
    getting rid of any reference to \html in the topic files, but a few
    still don't link properly. Even after creating a new table of
    contents and re-linking all topics and images it does the same, AND
    has these broken links still listed.
    Any ideas? I realize this may be several problems. I think
    someone in the past deleted the html folder outside of RoboHelp and
    it messed everything up. We are taking about a Help file with over
    700 topics, so it is a real beast to work with.
    Thanks,

  • Broken links with index keywords

    Using RH 8, I have 20 broken links associated with index keywords. can someone advise how to easily get rid of these broken links?
    Many thanks

    I assume you are talking about links to index keywords rather than unused index keywords. If so, you have references to those index keywords somewhere inside your project. Your options are to repair the links or remove the references. If you right click on each broken link there are options to Edit, Restore and Show References which will help you find out what is going on.

  • Relinking broken links with JSX

    Okay,
    Say I have a series of folders and I have linked art and the files they are linked to all mixed up in these folders. My file structure is as such;
    myFiles\HH01000-01999\HH01000-HH01099\HH001001.PDF
    and now I need to change the file structure to this;
    myFiles\HH\HH01000-01999\HH01000-HH01099\HH001001.PDF
    adding the folder HH breaks the links.
    What is the best way to identify the broken link and change its path with JSX? Anybody got any ideas?

    Thanks Carlos,
    this is how i ended up getting it done.
    function changeLinkedArt () {
        linkedPath = app.activeDocument.placedItems;
        outcome = 0;
    for(i=0; i < linkedPath.length; i++) {
        linkedPathArray = linkedPath[i].file.path.split("/");
        for(j=0; j < linkedPathArray.length; j++) {
            if(linkedPathArray[j] === "HH") {
                outcome = 1;
        if (outcome === 0) {
            fileName = linkedPath[i].file.toString();
            linkedFileArray = fileName.split("/");
            for(k=0; k < linkedFileArray.length; k++) {
                if(linkedFileArray[k] === "illustrations") {
                    linkedFileArray[k] = linkedFileArray[k] + "/HH";
                    NewIndexLine = linkedFileArray.join("/");
                    //alert(NewIndexLine);
                    linkedPath[i].file=File(NewIndexLine);
        outcome = 0;
    modified an adobe script to open all files in a folder and run the script on all of them.
    wanted to build some arrays to change all files in multiple folders but i could not get the ".getFiles( fileType );" to take a path instead of the Folder.selectDialog.
    thats the only thing that bugs me.

  • HT1937 how can i replace my iPhone 4G -broken screen with new IPHONE 4G?

    hi Guys, I have iPHONE 4G 15 G, yesterday i broke the screen, however it still works super fine, and the touch works normal too. Only the screen is 50% damaged. I have been informed that I can change it with new 4G 16G by paying like 120 GBP, how can I do that ?

    Take your iPhone to an Apple Store or call Apple Support. They'll exchange your iPhone for £126,44 if you ship it in or £119 if you can get to an Apple Store. The unit you get in replacement will be refurbished and an idential model to the one you have now.

  • Broken link with libraries

    no response?
    was my previous posting too obscure?
    I'll try again. both my itunes library and my iphoto library are still intact except that the 'link' connecting them to their software is broken (please excuse the layman speak).
    itunes library is on my external hard drive whilst i reimported iphoto to the imac attempting to fix this problem following the instructions in 'help' has no effect i have redirected the folder location in the itunes preferences but still no library, restarting iphoto does not give me any option to click on finding the library.
    i am running itunes 6 and iphoto 2 and if you look at my computer specs I'm not able to (and its not worth) installing ilife

    Hi, jabecca. This is an iPhoto forum, and there's little point in mentioning iTunes in it — there are other Discussions forums for that, and you would do better to post your iTunes problem in one of those forums.
    As for iPhoto: now that you're running iPhoto 2, what happens if you hold down the Option key (= the Alt key on some keyboards) while opening iPhoto from the Dock? Are you invited to either create a new library or find an old one? If so, choose "Find Library" and navigate to the library folder you want iPhoto to use. It shouldn't make any difference whether that folder is located on your internal or your external hard drive: iPhoto should continue to use it each time you open iPhoto, until you select another library folder in the same manner.

  • Time Machine Fails with New Internal HDD

    After vertical lines began proliferating on the screen of my iMac (intel core duo, late 2006 running Leopard 10.5.8), my Apple tech swapped it for a "similar" iMac, running the same OS, and dumped the contents of the original HDD onto the much larger new one. However, instead of an intel, the swap got me one of the original iMac G5 PPCs made in early 2006. After several days of having to reinstall software and other awful adjustments, the biggest problem is accessing Time Machine and having it continue with the new set-up (I gave the new HDD the same name as the old one).
    I can enter Time Machine but it remains static and I can not access any previous backups the usual way... I can click open the external drive (LaCie 1TB, Mac OS Extended, case-sensitive, journaled) and copy files if need be. It is filled only at 1/4 capacity.
    While doing that, I noticed in the backup list a last document "2011-11-01-024657.inProgress" at 3:47am followed by an alias folder "Latest" with the time stamp of 1:47am. I take it that 3:47am backup was interrupted when the iMac was shut down.
    I turned on Time Machine yesterday to get backups restarted but the first backup "failed." Now that the computer is different, will I have to reformat the LaCie to engage TM once more? Partition for two backup sets? For any of these options, I'd appreciate a step-by-step.
    Thank you too much!

    By default, Time Machine only shows the backups for the Mac it's running on.  To see the backups for a different one, you need the Browse... option, per #E2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    I can click open the external drive (LaCie 1TB, Mac OS Extended, case-sensitive, journaled)
    That's not a problem, and is the default when you let Time Machine format a backup drive.

    Correct. 
    I turned on Time Machine yesterday to get backups restarted but the first backup "failed."
    That could be any of a number of things.  See #C2 in the Troubleshooting article.  It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.    If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages.
    Now that the computer is different, will I have to reformat the LaCie to engage TM once more?
    Depending on the space available, maybe, and it may be wise anyway.  Time Machine will start a new set of backups for the new Mac, so will need lots of room.  Worse, when the backup disk gets full, it will not delete the oldest backups from the old Mac to make room -- it will delete the oldest backups from the new one, instead.  (That's been fixed in Snow Leopard and Lion, but not Leopard.)

  • Broken links with PDF Portfolio

    When I've created links within Adobe Acrobat to another document that's already within the Adobe Portfolio sometimes the links don't properly source to the correct page number. Instead, the link will source to the correct document but then filter to the first page rather than the page number that I set the link up with. Also, sometimes the link will break and will instead source to the home page rather than the requested document. Has anyone come across this issue or developed any workarounds?

    When creating the links (using the Link tool), you need open rather than just preview the destination file.

  • Help please with new ext. H.D.

    Hi guys, i have an ext. H.D: where i want make two partition: one for winxp that i would lik to use to bootcamp windows from my mac (i´m selling my pc) and another for mac. I tried to follow istructons from this topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1465626&tstart=45 but i cannot see Partition in Disk Utility. My HD had NTFS partition and if i want inizialize the disk from a mac without partition it will erase all the NTFS partition and i will not be able to make an image c opy of my windows hd before i sell the pc. Is there any solution to format the hd but in two partition from the mac?
    thanks!

    If you want to use a partition with Windows systems, Disk Utility only supports FAT32 formatting, no NTFS. There may be some third party utilities enabling MacOS X to format, read and write this proprietary Microsoft format.
    Once you have partitioned, formatted and installed the different O.S.'s to your liking, you can pick which one the Mac will boot from by pressing and holding the Option key just after the "bong" sound when rebooting. A screen will appear with an icon for each bootable volume detected by the bootloader; just pick the one you need. A HD may contain multiple bootable volumes.

  • Problem with Time Machine or ext HDD?

    I am using a Western Digital Firewire800 ext HDD for my Time Machine back ups. In the past the ext HDD will turn on by itself when my iMac is turned on and the light remains on. Of late I notice sometimes the light turns off and the ext HDD icon on the desktop disappears. I would need to press the power button on the HDD for the light to come back on and the desktop icon to re-appear.
    More importantly, in the past Time Machine will auto back up every one hour. It no longer does that. I made an effort to pay close attention yesterday. TM said that the next back up was scheduled for 2.54pm. When it was 2.54pm, even though the ext HDD light was on & the desktop icon was there, TM did not to an auto backup. And the wierd thing is, when I went into TM properties, it now said that the next back up was scheduled for 3.54pm as though it had already done a back up at 2.54pm.
    I had to do a manual backup. Do you think something is wrong with my ext HDD or with TM? I still have ample space in my ext HDD btw. Thanks in advance!

    It's hard to tell whether it's the drive, the connections, or something in Time Machine.
    The 2:54 backup may have been "delayed," due to the drive not being available. See #A1 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for a handy widget that will display the backup messages from your logs.
    See if there was a backup attempt at that time; if there's such a message, that's the reason.
    If so, check all the connections to be sure they're snug and secure. Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 there. If that doesn't help, try repairing the backups, per #A5 in Troubleshooting.
    If still no help, try removing the check from the +Put the hard disk(s) to sleep . . .+ box in +System Preferences > Energy Saver.+ Not all drives respond to that setting, and some WDs have a proprietary "spin down" feature that's near-impossible to remove, but it's worth a try.

  • Issues with new 1TB WD external harddrive

    Hi, I purchased a new WD 1TB portable hard drive. It running very slow. To transfer 500MB it's taking abound 1 hour or more. Do I need to format my new EXT.HDD according to  mac. Please help me to sort it out this issue.
    Thanks

    Yes. Do the following:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Rename Topics and Broken Links

    I am currently working on a project and have had to rename
    several topics. Now those newly-named topics display as broken
    links with the old topic name. I've never had this happen before.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    1. You have to rename them within the RH project.
    2. You have to be working the project on your local drive.
    If you answer No to either, you have your answer.
    Good luck,

  • Clean install on new 1TB hdd, Yosemite keeps freezing when copying data from an ext drive and also from a usb

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to figure out why my macbook keeps freezing when I try to drag my data across to it (even small files from a USB).
    I've had to force restart over a dozen times today :/

    Regards

    Thanks - I had a 1TB hdd in my macbook for about 12 months but it started playing up a few days ago (I got the question mark folder on bootup) so I bought another 1TB hdd (same model) and started from scratch.
    My macbook is an early 2010... now I'm wondering if Yosemite is a bit too much for it?
    The ext hdd is my timemachine backup, so yes I have used it often and it has my TM backups - and the usb is a new usb which Ive used a few times.
    The issue seems to be when Im transferring files from an ext drive to my mac. I can use it fine and browse (worked find for 45 mins) then I tried to bring my data across.. and it copied a few gig over before total freeze.
    This has happened about a dozen times.
    I keep running disk utility and checking the disk. I also just ran the apple diagnostics tool that came in the apps cd - the hardware apears to be fine.
    I have a 250 gb partition for the OS and the rest is my second partition for data.
    I'm now wondering if I should reformat the first partition, install leopard from the CD, then upgrade to mavericks and leave it at that.
    Any thoughts would be awesome. Thank you for reading and replying!

  • External HDD (used before on a Windows) doesn't work with new Mac

    Hi
    I have this Seagate 1 TB ext HDD that I've been using with my old Windows, but unfortunately, when I connect it to my Macbook, I'm not able to make changes, nor can I edit or delete files or add new files to the HD. What should I do?
    Thank you so much for your help.
    edit: To answer a question by a fellow community member, the format is NTFS.
    Message was edited by: azrimiskal (added format of NTFS to the question)

    The link I gave you was to the MacUpdate.com page for Paragon NTFS.  Look lower on that page for the Similar Software section and see if any of them are free.
    I am assuming an external drive in an enclosure.  Any drive will do so long as the enclosure that encloses it can talk to your mac (firewire is better than usb2 and thunderbolt better then either of them).  For example take a look at the selection at OWC.
    Personally I like to buy empty enclosures (which you could get at OWC) and stick the drive of my choice in them.  That way I get to choose the drive of my choice (I like Western Digitals) and stick it in the enclosure of my choice.  I view enclosures as dumb boxes who's only goal in life is to let you communicate with the drive they enclose.  You can by "complete solutions", i.e., enclosures with drives and accompanying software.  In almost all case that software gets in the way and screws thing sup from the box just being a dumb box.

Maybe you are looking for
