I cannot make Robohelp 9 export epubs

I have tried with very little succes all day making Robohelp 9 export to epub.
I am running techcomm 3.5 full version on win 7/64 bit.
I have opend a very small FrameMaker 10 book file with a front page, a toc and a 7 pages content file with some 7 or 8 pictures. I have created a Robohelp project and imported the book and done a toc. But I cannot export to epub. I have tried inserting the new jsx script, updated and tried different versions of 7zip and zip - all to no avail. Robohelp is no help and crashes on trying to create the epub file. It WILL create epub files of the sample content which came along with the install and it WILL work if I delete all pictures in my content - but this is hardly a real life scenario... I am utterly frustrated by this. Does anybody have a clue what is wrong here?
BTW I have read the post right before me with somewhat similar content - but it didn't seem to reach a conclusion
regards
Bjørn

Thanks for the answers. I am beginning to like Robohelp. Still - I cannot figure the isf thing out. When I create a project I import Frame files. I create isf settings for the Frame import and export the isf file. So far so good. But now I want to change for instance the sizing of graphics on import or the mapping of paragraph formats. So I go to File/Project settings - but I can no longer access these settings. I can no longer access the settings for mapping, graphics etc. And I don't get it. Shouldn't I be able to edit the isf file here?
Regards

Short answer is no, that is not how you edit the settings. You need to read through my instructions again for the detail but the short version is this.
Step 1 is to go to Project Settings and select the CSS you want.
Step 2 is to start the import and apply all the settings you want.
Step 3 is before you import, you export all those settings to an ISF file.
Step 4 is next time you want to import you will see Custom in the ISF file. Browse to the ISF file you want and if no changes are required, you should be good to go but check. If changes are required, make them and export again overwriting the first file.
Now for the really unintuitive bit.
Next time you import, you will see Settings.ISF at the start of the process. Not unreasonably you will say to yourself "I updated those so I am good to go". WRONG. You will be working with the settings you saved in Step 3. If you want the updated settings, you have to browse to the updated file.
Don't shoot the messenger. I didn't create that workflow.

CRVS2010 Beta - Cannot export report to PDF with unicode characters

My report has some unicode data (Chinese), it can be previewed properly in the windows form report viewer. However, if I export the report document to PDF file, the unicode characters in exported file are all displayed as a square.
In the version of Crystal Report 2008 R2, it can export the Chinese characters to PDF when I select a Chinese font in report. But VS2010 beta cannot export the Chinese characters even a Chinese font is selected.

Barry, what is the specific font you are using?
The below is a reformatted response from Program Management:
Using non-Chinese font with Unicode characters (Chinese) the issue is reproducible when using Arial font in Unicode characters field. After changing the Unicode character to Simsun (A Chinese font named 宋体 in report), the problem is solved in Cortez and CR both.

You cannot export the request at the movement -while releasing the request

Hi.. Experts
Today, we had message from our functional consultant that When he is trying to release the TRANSPORT REQUEST (not tasks) he is getting the error " You cannot export the request at the movement "
After 2 / 3 hours, we discovered file exists in Transport Profiel directory
" /usr/sap/trans/bin" directory Fine Name : T_OFF.ALL
After removing that file - The request releasing were happening normally.
In this juncture, Even though the issue is fixed ,
We would like to learn how this file got created and which transactions / which configurations will create this T_OFF.ALL file and stops all Transport releases
Thanks in advance
Rgds
PR

This file T_OFF.ALL has to be created manually in the bin directory to basically stop release of any transport request from all systems. No transaction creates it .
Please go through the links to get more info on this mechanism.

I cannot export projects from GB in my MacBook into GB on my iPad3; nor can I export from IPad to my MacBook. I have tried going onto Apps update on the MacBook, but there were none available. I have read that this omission is to be corrected - can you confirm this is intended to happen, or is it already in process. While awaiting for this essential development, can you please suggest any way of transferring information either way?

InDesign CS3, Cannot Export (greyed out) or Print

HELP!! I am having trouble Printing and Exporting in InDesign CS3 only(mac osx), I can Export and Print on all other Adobe programs that are installed on my computer.
I can also still create a PDF through the Adobe PDF presets, but cannot EXPORT or PRINT!!! Under the File Settings, Export is Greyed out, while Print is Black, but nothing happens when clicked.
Any ideas???... My printer driver is working good as I print to 3 printers at the moment and make pdfs of a regular basis and this has never happened before. It just seemed to happen out of the blue when I turned my computer on one morning. I've been working the long way around for now, but now need it fixed desperately!!!

The classic question is what were you doing just before this? Programs usually don't stop working for no reason "out of the blue," so most likley something else has changed on your system.

Cannot Export some pictures in Iphoto 09

Hello!
Somehow, I cannot export some of my pictures to folders,... I did work before.
Anyone knows what to do?
Thank you!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Cannot export slide shows with iPhoto 9.6 and OS 10.10

Hallo!
I upgraded to Yosemite last Friday. Everything seems to work fine only iPhoto 9.6 makes some troubles. I cannot export any slide shows. When I click on "export" the small window opens as always before, the first pic is shown in this window, after that the window disappears and nothing else happens. iPhoto doesn't crash, but it also doesn't export any slide shows.
Does anyone have an idea what the reason could be?
Thanks and best regards from Klosterneuburg/Austria
Andy

Some folks have fixed this by reinstalling iPhoto:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Cannot export video clips. Get message: "unable to create video for export"

Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder. Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
The video clips play correctly within iPhoto.
Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

Yes. I have 3,184 video clips in this library. I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly. I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case.
Some more info that may be relevant:
I have multiple iPhoto libraries. My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library. I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release.
While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive. It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content.
I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie. Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export." Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie. I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

Cannot export video: AME cannot read from source, Installation Error

Ok, I've seen a lot of people on here talk about this and I have tried using their solutions but nothing has worked.
I cannot export anything from Premier Pro using Media Encoder. When I try, I get an yellow warning sign saying that it cannot read from the source, and when I close out of it I get a message saying that there is an installation error and that I need to make sure it is installed correctly. I have uninstalled and re-installed ALL of my Adobe products about three times this past weekend trying to fix it and nothing has worked. I have tried making sure that there are no blank spaces in my project, I have named it several different things, I have moved it from my external drive to my main drive, to a different external drive, etc.
I am using a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, all of my software has been updated, and I am very frustrated.
Help?

Bummer!
Well, it was worth a shot, as externals/network drives have been known to cause similar.
Now, there were issues with Encore and Snow Leopard, but I do not recall all of the details, as I am a PC-guy, and have to admit that first I do not know squat about Macs, and probably do not read Mac threads as closely, as I should. Seems that Apple was working on an update to Snow Leopard, and again from recollection, it seems that that update helped several on the Encore forum. Have you updated Snow Leopard?
Sorry to just sit here guessing, and probably wasting valuable time for you, but until a Mac-user with the "fix" comes along, the PC-community will try to help. Be patient with us though. Our intentions are good ones, but our expertise is lacking - at least in MY case.

iPhoto cannot export video after installing Yosemite.

You have a problem and yo need to solve it
If you want help you need to do more than state an abstract problem - we need details - what can't it? what makes you thing it can't? what errors occur? what are the symptoms?
Your post is like "my car won't start" - with no details it could be anything from having lost the key to gas - you have to provie details

Cannot export video from iPhoto

cannot export a video taken from an iphone. from iphoto to anything, it saves it as a 0.00 second movie file.
and yes before you ask i am changing it to original file :/

The problem is that iPhoto is looking in the wrong place for the file:
/ Volumes/Sagate/Iphoto_Library_2014.photolibrary/Previews/2014....... "
It should be looking in the Originals folder.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Cannot export movie files from iPhoto 11 (9.5)

Hi. Am not able to export movies from iPhoto 11. I leave the type as Original and get an error - see screenshot. Running on Mavericks and up-to-date iPhoto. Have tried to export to multiple places so hard drive space, etc. isn't the problem. Can export 32,000+ photos just fine but all the movies are erroring out.
Any ideas, and thanks for the help.

Having the same problem.
Upgraded to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5, and now getting this, every single time.
Happens with both Original and Current exports. The failed files are all point to the Previews location. I checked the first few, which do exist, but are 0KB big. However their master file location is fine.
This ends up leaving 120GB out of my 170GB collection of 1533 photos/videos.
Incredibly frustrating! iPhoto is useless to me now, and I have no way to get my photos out of it.
Here's the exact feedback I sent apple:
I'm experiencing this issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5478191?tstart=0
Since upgrading to Mavericks and getting the latest iPhoto version. I cannot export my entire photo collection (using original, and current settings).
It always fails with about 120GB of my 170GB collection left. The missing files are videos that iPhoto is trying to copy over the preview location, rather than the master location it seems. The discussion thread has more information.
