Display Audiobooks by Author?

The new iPod Classic file system seems a lot more limited than the older models. I use my iPods primarily for audiobooks - the older models were able to display books by order of title or author, so that I could view all the books written by one author on one screen - this does not seem possible in the new iPod classic 160gb, where only titles can be displayed.
Am I wrong? Can I list books by author on the ipod screen?

No, you're correct. I, like you, have a crazy number of Audiobooks on my ipod. Until such time as Apple see's fit to add a wider variety of ways to sort my audiobooks on my classic, I'm leaving them with the music and out of the audiobooks section. I was so excited that I finally had the ability to move them there... until I realized that I'd have to sort through hundreds of files to find what I want.

I have new IPad ...can't watch rented downloaded movie on my tv..error message is " The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies"... What is up with that???

I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
1) select Videos
2) selected the film you want to watch
3) click the little play button
4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes. It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
Can anyone help I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
Not sure why this has just started happening. have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error...
THanks

Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

CANNOT PLAY HD CONTENT BECAUSE MY 24" APPLE DISPLAY NOT "HDCP" AUTHORIZED

Hi I'm sure this topic must have come up before but nothing came up in a search. I'm trying to play an HD TV show and I can't on my 24" Apple cinema display hooked up to my 15" Macbook pro core 2 duo through a mini DV port. I'm getting the error message that the display is not authorized to play HDCP protected movies. How can this be when it is an Apple display and why am I getting this message on a free HD video? I also have not been able to play any itunes video on my external display in full screen mode. When I go to full screen mode the video transfers to the computer screen. I'd appreciate knowing if these are common problems and if this is what Apple has designed or if this is a fault and if there is a solution to these problems?
Thanks For any help.

Hi BSteely thanks for the reply! I have a newer Apple 24" Cinema Display connected through a Mini DisplayPort (pardon my error tibor.moldovan) and it has supported HDCP, but the other day I got an error message when I tried to play a HD video in iTunes saying that my display is not HDCP authorized. I had had that error message previously when trying to play HD content on a TV attached to my computer but not when playing it on my Apple display, so I was surprised when it happened.
+"The issue of full screen video coming back to the computer's screen (I assume you mean on the MacBook Pro) is expected. The way to work around that is to make the external screen the primary screen. This can be done by running the MBP in closed clamshell mode with only the external screen being active."+
Thanks so much for the explanation about the full screen issue. When I first got my external screen and I went to full screen mode it played in the external monitor, but after an upgrade it stopped doing this. I will give this a try.

WYSIWYG Display in Multi-Author Environment

We are using a multi-author project that is continually generated as a KB. We are using RSC and RHx7. I am the only author having a bizarre problem with ONE topic out of over 600.
I have an issue with a page that when opened in RoboHelp comes up blank for me in WYSIWYG mode (and code body is just a blank <p>), but the other two authors see the WYSIWYG and code as it should be. When I preview the topic though, it displays the topic AS IT SHOULD BE.
Closing RoboHelp and even rebooting does not resolve the issue. I’ve deleted my local version and replaced it with the RSC version, but still no joy. I’ve worked with the other authors and we’ve done multiple “tricks”(overwrite local, overwrite db code, false updates, etc.) to try and fool it, but each one winds up transferring the bad code to other authors.
Thank you for any help you can provide. Code snippets are below.

The RoboHelp Design view, when I view the HTML code for said page, shows only a truncated version of the code:

Have you got all the RH7 patches installed? There was a problem fixed in 7.0.1 that sounds similar to what you are experiencing. If you haven't patched your version yet, I'd recommend getting all of the patches.
See snippet 14 on Peter Grainge's site for the blank topic issue, and snippets 23, 31 and 34 for what's in the patches.
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh7/using_rh7.htm
Also note issue #20 in the 7.0.1 patch notes - if you are affected by this, I believe you'll have to fix it manually, unless you can afford to go back to a pre-upgraded version of your project and upgrade once you've installed all the patches. If you can't go back, which is likely if you've all been working on the project, I think it should just be a case of find and replace across your HTML files - you should be able to do a search on the forums for it, or maybe Peter or Rick will chime in with additional information if it is a problem for you.

Using "calculate" in Acrobat Form to display document metadata (Author, etc.)

Can someone assist with a javascript that will retrieve the document "Subject" or "author" so that I can use that data on an acrobat form? (I am creating a form that will then be inserted as the first page in an existin adobe document and I want the form to display details about that document.

You probably don't want to use the calculate event, as it is triggered only when a field value changes. You can place someting like the following in the initial page's Page Open event:
getField("SUBJECT").value = info.Subject;

How can I organise Audiobooks by Author

Hi
I have a lot of Audiobooks on my iPod Touch.
One thing that I find a bit of a trial is the fact that the books are grouped by Title.
I would like to find a way of grouping them by Author (In order), then by title, similar to the way that they are ordered itunes.
Is there any way of achieving this?
Cheers...
Daz :o)

Hi Jeff,
OK, I could look like a fool here. My 30GB ipod was, I'm sure, 5th generation. Earlier this year I changed to an 80GB one. I assumed it was also 5th gen because it looks almost exactly the same outide. But maybe it's a 'classic' instead. It looks like that on Amazon, anyway. (I may be exposing some ipod ignorance here.) I know my new ipod supports Cover Flow (which my old one didn;t.)
If my new ipod actually is a 'classic', then how would I do it?
Cheers

View Audiobooks by author

I've found that with my nano audiobooks are simply listed by filename without care for which file belongs to which book or author, unlike the iphone where you go into audiobooks and then can choose and author and then a book and it will play the files in the correct sequence.
Can anyone suggest a remedy for this? As I've said it functions properly on the iphone so all my metadata would appear to be correct

So here is what I have noticed in importing book CDs of my own.
Each CD is treated by iTunes as a separate album. (IE: The Stand [Disc 1], etc).
With some audiobook CDs, the tracks are named too generically to simply change all the album names to the same name. For instance, on CD 1 the tracks are just named "Track 01, Track 02, etc". So if you change all the album names to just "The Stand", then you end up with all the tracks out of order.
Now in some cases, the makers of these things have done you a favor and have named the tracks in such a way that you can in fact put them all in the same album without getting then in the wrong order.
If this is the case, you can just shift select all the different albums, get info on them and enter one album name. Then in iTunes, you can right (or control) click and get info on the album. Then go to options, select "Media Kind" and change it to "Audiobook", then also make the selection to allow it to remember your position. Once you do this, sync it all up with your iPod, then when you go to the Audiobook menu on your Nano, it should be there and ready for you.
Okay, so I just did exactly what I described above with "The 6th Target" by James Patterson on CD and I think I am seeing what you are seeing.
Each track is listed separately, but in the correct order. I usually only have one book on the iPod at a time and never realized this. I just went to audiobook and started the book.
I am guessing that this is working as designed.

Why does my nano suddenly not display audiobooks option?

Why does my nano suddenly not display the audiobooks option?

There are options on the iPod's Settings screen to show or not show items in the various menus.
For example, on my 5th gen nano, Audiobooks in on the Music menu. In Settings - General - Music Menu, I can select to show Audiobooks or not, on the Music menu.

Display blog post author description and photo in search results

anyone found a way to do this in BC?

But that will pull up the detail view in the search results rather then that layout and the link will be to the web app Mario
So you would get staff up but you would have to rethink it work on a full Bio page for them if you wanted them to show up in search results.
Other option is to not use the BC search Luke but integrate a google search for your site. It will search the pages content (all of it) and that would also include the Bio. BUT this would be in the google search results and not show that information in the results view, it would just pick up that information.
The ajax thing I mentioned was to loop through the results, read them, if they were blog posts go Ajax fetch from the links page and find the Author information from that and then inject it into the result. It would be seamless (small flicker, slow down the page load a bit) but it would work.
The effort though to do that, bit to much for the results gained.

Itunes bought movies/tv shows not displaying in my authorized mac mini

I have a Mac mini (mid 2011) 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 running OSX 10.9.4 working as a media server, it has been authorized to run all the media I buy from my iTunes account. It is connected to a SHARP TV monitor through the HDMI port and had wired (Gigabite LAN) to several Apple TV around my house.
Problem is that I cannot watch the movies/TV shows I have bought in the iTunes store, music and home videos play perfectly in this computer +monitor.
The same movies/TV shows I can play through my several Apple TVs without a glitch. Does anyone have any idea regarding this?

Hello alarife,
You may need to verify that the cable in use and the TV both support HDCP.

IPod Audiobook Chapters

I used to know the trick for displaying audiobooks in an organized fashion on my iPod. You removed "Audiobooks" from the main menu, then navigated through Genre > Audiobook instead. There you would see your books grouped nicely by author \ title.
Now I have a new iPod. The same books that appear organized on my old iPod do not appear that way on my new iPod. They are both Classics, the newer is 160 GB (PC, not Mac). On this device, under "Genre", I don't see my Audiobook Genre at all!
I'm pretty sure the files themselves are fine (Media Kind: "Audiobooks", Genre "Audiobook", etc...) because I can still view them correctly on the older iPod.
Any suggestion??
Many thanks!
Lindsay

Thanks, Dud.
Shuffle is off, but the tracks are still being played in random order. Since the cd is already imported - and I've returned the cd's to a library in a different state - I unfortunately can't use Aldo's helpful advice (although I certainly will in the future!) I tried renaming the tracks in order (1,2,3, etc) but that didn't work. Argh!

How to display system property in XML forms

Hi
We are using XML forms template for publishing news in KM. In the show form we got author field (a label in the form) which is mapped to system property createdby (PropertyReference = /Properties/default:createdby).But while displaying the form author is not getting populated. When I try to edit the form in XML forms builder in data model tab under properties node no property is visible. Nothing is shown up in properties even after reload option is selected from context menu of properties node.
I cheked by manually editing PropertyReference to some other property (e.g. modifiedby) but nothing is showing up.
Can you please suggest how the createdby system property can be shown in the xml form?
Thanks & Regards
Sudip

Hi Sudeep,
Please try to open the formbuilder in another machine and try to see the properties xml form design view.
You can even directly can create a lable in show form and add the property name along with the nama space name.
For default properties namspace is default.Create a lable UI element in show form and select the datasource property and add the property value in that.
With we can show file related system generated properties in show form.

Rudradev Devulapelli

How to remove author name and/or date from blogsite summary

Hello,
Can someone please help me find how and where to remove the author name from the blogsite summary?
I don't want any author name listed, just the linked title of the blog post and the date posted.
Or, is it possible to have the linked title, with 50 words of article displayed, but no author name or date created?
Thank you very much in advance!

Yes, thank you.
The site is still temporary: http://sculpturebythelakes.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
The "Latest News" box on the right hand column.
Ideally, I would like a linked post title, a return <BR> and then a set quantity of words below with "read more" following.
It seems there should be a template to edit, but I've gone through everything I can find in BC backend, and looked at every tutorial I can find (they are all very general, just getting started stuff) and can't figure it out.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Video Output via VGA "not authorized"

I have the VGA output cable for my iPad, but on my newer videos, it gives me an error message that the display is not authorized to view the content. Do you perhaps know how to authorize a display?

Rental movies and maybe some other purchased videos will not display on video out because of licensing reasons. There is really nothing you can do.
