CS 6 forgot I linked a file?

I have a .ai file of common data that I'm placed in multiple other .ai files.  I place the file and get the object box with the x through it.  The object will then be updated when I update the master file.   Then when I reopen a file with the linked image, I just get a box around that linked file, without the x.  Once that happens, the link object doesn't update with changes made to the master data.   I also don't get a prompt from Illustrator that asks me to find my linked file.  It's as if Illustrator forgot that that image was linked.  What am I not understanding?
(PS: I'm running CS6.)
Thanks!

I save everything as an .ai file (CS6).  In Options I select- Create PDF Compatible,  Include Linked Files, Embed ICC Profiles and Use Compression.  Sometimes I save and open the save version, sometimes I'm changing the date. (ie Flexo_7_31 then save as to Flexo 8_1).
It just turns my whole linked file into one object.
Thanks for helping out!

    was able to personalized this one but want to personalize the NEXT one after this.
    Enter username and click submit
    How do we personalize the following message on the page below:
    “An email has been sent to the email address on file. Contact the system administrator if you do not receive your password within the next few hours. “

    Hi,
    You have to find out that file path,
    The first page is
    /oracle/apps/fnd/umx/password/webui/ForgotPasswordPG
    You can use functional administrator responsibility and user personalizatin tab to personalize this page.
    The controller for the above page is oracle.apps.fnd.umx.password.webui.ForgotPasswordCO.
    Since we dont have about this page and personalize option in that page, you have to open the ForgotPasswordCO and check where the control is redirecting .
    Then use functional admin and personalize.
    If somebody knows the result page path, please update here.

  • Shockwave won't play linked Director files from server

    I created a bunch of director files for the course content of my  class. All can be accessed from a contents file. When I created an html  contents file on my desktop (in the same folder as the linked director  files), the contents pages would open in shockwave in my browser (both  Firefox and Safari) and then by clicking on a link other director files  would open and play. However, when all these files were place on our  server (in the same folder), only the contents pages would open and we  get an error message saying the dirctor files cannot be opened. I think  this means it sees them, but can't open them.
    Help!

    Hi Sean
       sorry if my e-mail was a bit whiney, but I got a bit frustrated, 
    having tried to use the Adobe website for help and then trying for 
    help over the phone. Adobe has this nice thing where they will call 
    you back instead of you sitting on hold, which I used at first, but 
    you get called back by a machine, not a person, then you subsequently 
    get a progression of robocalls with nobody on the other end! I 
    finally just sat and waited and got a person, who seemed 
    knowledgeable and nice, but couldn't help me without a payment. So, I 
    would greatly appreciate any help you could provide!
           What I have is this. I constructed a "book" in CD form for my 
    class. This is based on CDs that Mike Coleman and I published a few 
    years ago. A picture of the contents page is shown below. Each topic 
    is in a separate Director file, each with its own casts. We made a 
    lot of animations, some in Flash and some in Quicktime that appear in 
    each topic. I redid everything in Director 11.5, changing text 
    spacing because of the way things get altered when things get played 
    in Shockwave! When I click on one of these subtopics, the 
    corresponding Director file opens. I accomplished linkage this by 
    appending a behavior to the text, "Play Movie X". I then originally 
    made a projector file of the contents page and distributed the CD to 
    my class free (textbook prices are getting out of hand). Now I want 
    to put it on the web, because I'm tired of burning CDs and we're 
    getting students from other locations taking the course on-line. So 
    within the folder on my desktop that held all the Director files, I 
    made a second folder "dswMedia" into which I placed all the 
    animations. I also linked all the animation casts to the Contents 
    Director file. I then constructed a Contents.html file and 
    Contents.dcr file using the Publish commands in Director. When I 
    click on the Contents.html file within my main folder (the one 
    holding all the Director files and the dswMedia file) the page opens 
    nicely in my browser (Firefox) and I can play all the Director movies 
    by clicking on each topic. All the animations play beautifully. 
    Great , I thought, I'm in business. I then took the files to our 
    media guy who put it on the server, in the same form as on my 
    desktop. If we click on the Contents.html file through the web it 
    opens. Clicking on a topic does not open that Director Movie. The 
    error message is not that it can't find the movie, however, but that 
    it can't open it. Everything works just fine on our media guys 
    computer,  we only have a problem when we attempt to use this stuff 
    through the web. (Our web guy's computer does not have Director, so 
    that's not the issue).
          Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
             Regards
                    Paul

  • I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it.

    I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it. All of the files are going into the same zip file but I want them visually in the space that I put them and not at the bottom of the snap to grid folder location they are looking like.  I am trying to  drag and drop files in groups so that I can group them for now, but image files always do their own "sort by" when I drag them from my web pages. Links don't do it though.  I tried resetting the folder, and deleting the DS files. No luck.

  • "Forgot Password" link doesn't generate an e-mail ...

    Hi, I've been trying for five days to get access to a Skype account I set up but have not used for a few months. I apparently have the password wrong. I've used the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. That link should automatically generate an e-mail to me, but I've gotten no e-mail, despite multiple attempts. There is no e-mail in my spam folder either. So I've sent in two support requests. The only thing I got in response to the first one was an e-mail asking me to fill out a survey about the service I got. Which would make sense, except that I never got any service. At all. The second support request has produced no results. I know I'm using the correct e-mail address, because I initially couldn't remember my Skype name either, and managed to recover it using the "Forgot Skype Name" link. At this stage, the only option I can think of is calling my credit card company and telling them that I no longer approve of any further charges from Skype and they should be rejected. Does anyone on this list have any other suggestions of how I might get some service, any service, to get access to this account? Thanks for any advice you might offer.

  • CS3:How to link a file to a InDesign document?

    Hello all,<br /><br />I looked at in the LinkWatcher sample code to get an idea how to link a file to a document, I came up with the code below, the last line of code needs pageitemUID instead of pageUID which I  used it here:<br /><br />IDFile outFile = Utils<ImyUtils>()->getMyFile(); // it reads the file <br />InterfacePtr<IDataLinkHelper> dataLinkHelper(::CreateObject2<IDataLinkHelper>(kDataLinkHelperBoss)); <br />InterfacePtr<IDataLink>      dataLinkNew(dataLinkHelper->CreateDataLink(outFile)); <br /><br />IDocument* theFrontDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();<br />IDataBase* database = ::GetDataBase(theFrontDoc); <br /><br />InterfacePtr<IDocument> piDoc(theFrontDoc, UseDefaultIID()); <br /><br />InterfacePtr<IPageList> pageList(piDoc, UseDefaultIID()); <br />     <br />UID pageUID(kInvalidUID);<br /><br />if (pageList->GetPageCount() >  0)<br /> {<br />     pageUID = pageList->GetNthPageUID(0);<br />}<br />// I try to link the file to the front document, although it say pageitemUID, as a second //parameter, but I don't want to link the file to a particular page item. is this a right thing to do?<br /><br />int32 result = dataLinkHelper->AddDataLink(database,pageUID, dataLinkNew); <br /><br />as I execute the code it doesn't add the file in  Link palette in CS3, but when I pass a UID of one page item such as text frame, it will add the name of file to link palette with a "1" comes to  end of row that shows how many times this file was included in the frame. but in case I have not a page item can I use the pageUID instead ?<br /><br />Thanks In Advance,<br />Mor

    Lee,
    Sorry I think I didn't use the right terminology, somehow I want to include/link the file (not with menu item 'place') programmatically in my current open Indesign document, then I expect to see the filename in Link palette. I can do this with linking to a page item in doc but I don't want to assign it to a particular page item, rather I want to assign it to doc. Is any approach to do it?
    Thanks again,
    Mor

  • Need to link 2 files, one with a numeric firld and on with an alpha numeric

    I need to link 2 files in my report by employee number. In the employee file it is an 8 character Numeric field like 1505087. In the GL File, it is an 8 character field like '01505087' I have done a TONUMBER on the employee number.  Where do I link these files? I have done it in my data selection, but it now takes hours to run the report. The report does work. Any suggestions for linking the files together?
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Hi Rick,
    Linking numeric and non numeric fields at report level takes long time because for each detail it has to process i.e convert your non numeric field to numeric and then link.
    To avoice this, try to use Add command for your non numerica table and convert the field to numeric in free hand SQL itself.
    Eg: Select fields..convert(non numeric to numeric) from table   // my convert syntex is not correct becasue i don't know what database you are using
    Now you get both tables with numeric fields and you can link both.  It will not take much time to retive records.
    Thanks,
    Sastry

  • Illustrator CS2 adds mysterious white dashed line thru my linked Photoshop file

    Im using Windows XP, Illustrator & Photoshop CS2, Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
    I have an illustrator file with a linked PSD file that has this mysterious thin white dashed line going through the entire image & I have no idea what it's from or how to repair it.
    My trouble shooting thus far includes:
    - In illustrator - I hide all the layers to see if there was an odd graphic on another layer that was causing the line, nothing. I tried to select the dashed line, not possible. I've created a PDF of the file, and the dashed line is in the PDF too (to verify it wasn't just Illustrator). Oddly in both Acrobat & Illustrator when I zoom in & zoom out, the dashes maintain their on-screen viewing proportions (like the dash spaces recalculate to the same tiny thin dashed line no matter what zoom Im at)
    - In Photoshop - I zoomed in until I couldn't zoom no more and there is not the slightest dashed line in the graphic.
    Lastly, I have this exact linked setup repeated throughout several different files (basically its the same ad but laid out to different dimensions for each)... and none of the others have this mysterious white dashed line.
    here's a screen capture from Acrobat... zoomed into 6400%
    argh - can someone help? Thanks!

    Hi guys (and sorry for the tremendous delayed response).
    No the line doesn't print on my local b/w laser printer. However I have seen the lines print in 1 newspaper publications... (this is out of 50 different publications)
    Yes, the image is rotated slightly in illustrator, and I always flatten prior to making the PDF (cuz of the transparency/drop shadow).
    It's really making me nervous that ALL our ads have these lines appearing during onscreen viewing... Im making a new batch of ads for our campaign & there are more lines than before!
    Any tips theories remedies my friends?

  • Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document wiht linked Visio file.

    Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document with linked Visio file and causes a C++ runtime error in Word and crashes Word.
    To see the behavior create a short Word 2007 document with a linked Visio file (e.g., create a Visio file with one box and text and insert it as a link into a Word docx).
    No problem in Acrobat 9

    There may be some of an issue with AA X on this, but part of the blame probably goes to MS also. I would suggest you simply clip the graphic from VISIO as a vector graphic (EMF will be used by default) and not do the link and do not embed the VISIO object. The linking and use of embedded objects in WORD 2007 seems to have been a major problem and is mostly a MS issue.

  • Why do I have to remove Adobe Acrobat in order to link pdf files using Preview?

    Whenever I try to link pdfs to make a single file, Adobe Acrobat opens automatically and prevents me from linking them, instead demanding that I pay money for a subscription. Instead, I have to remove Adobe, at which point I can open Preview, and then I can link the files.
    Is there any way to link documents without having to remove and then reinstall Adobe?
    I have an iMac 10.6.8 and the latest Adobe that will install.

  • Font colors missing from linked ai files (cs4)

    so i have an indesign document with a bunch linked AI files all of which have the same fonts in the same colors (white and light yellow) over the same color backgrounds.
    earlier this week i printed without a problem. since then i've added a few notes here and there and i printed again and now most of the white text doens't show up on the print, some shows up barely, and some looks embossed into the background color. the yellow text printed purple. if i outline the text it prints fine.
    the text that weent wrong, i didn't change from before when it printed fine. my coworker had also printed a copy from a pdf i made from indesign with the same results.
    can anyone help?
    this is on indesign cs4 with linked ai cs4 files on mac os x lion.

    If the yellow text printed purple then perhaps the yellow text has been set to overprint.
    Similarly - it seems like the text for the white has been set to overprint.
