FrameMaker update book icon not updating and custom formatting help
Hi,
I am fairly new to FrameMaker, and I am currently experiencing two issues:
First Issue
I am currently trying to create a book that currently has three chapters. I am trying to break it out into the following format:
Main TOC - includes all the headers and related pages for the entire book
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File A
Chapter Source File A - includes all related content to Chapter Source File A
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File B
Chapter Source File B - includes all related content to Chapter Source File B
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File C
Chapter Source File C - includes all related content to Chapter Source File C
Whenever I click the Update Book icon, however, it does not update the headers and page numbers. They still remain the same way when I first generated them. This occurs for both the main TOC and mini TOC.
Second Issue
In addition to the format structure I designed for my book, I also wanted to create a custom format look that remains constant whenever I update my TOC. I have tried testing this, but I noticed every time I generate a new TOC it is always in the unformatted FrameMaker style which you have reformat each time.
Is there a way to create a custom format look that can retain the design and simply update the TOC headers and page numbers each time it needs to be updated?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you!
First I'd highly recommend getting Matt Sullivan's Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FM11 book - it's a pretty complete reference one to have on FM.
Second, it sounds like you may not have your ToC reference pages set up correctly - if nothing changes when you've added content that should have created more ToC headings and shift pages around, then something is amiss. Your formatting problem is solved by doing a bit of a dodge - you create a ToC and generate it, then replace it with your formatted .fm doc keeping the exact name as the generated doc; then update again. Now the content is formatted the way you want and keeps being updated each time you update.

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.
2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?
If so then:

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.7. and now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard. Update Software says I need to do update to 10.6.7 which I can't do because administrator privileges are gone. I didn't back-up with Time Machine ,BAD, but I have all files backed-up on another hard drive. Should I just reformat and start over? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
PROBLEM SOLVED! For me at least!
Apple Support gave me the clue - I had run Migration Assistant, and it had obligingly replaced a system file (/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager) with the equivalent from my old system.
I reinstalled 10.6.7 using the DVD supplied and all is well.
The moral is - don't use Migration Assistant.
Along the way Apple Support provided me with a link to download Combo update 10.6.7: this could not be installed on my iMac.
Hope this helps. -

I'm updating from 4 not 5 and under General it does not have a Software Update option. How do i update ???
To update the iOS to 5.1.1 from iOS version end prior to iOS 5 you must connect the iPad to a computer running iTunes.
Start iTunes on the computer, connect the iPad, select the iPad in iTunes on the computer. If you are not automatically prompted to update select the General or Summary tab and then click on Check for Updates. -

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -

FrameMaker 9 - URL's not linked and/or not updated in .pdf output
I'm editing (or trying to) a .book that someone else (former tech writer at work) created. I can find the URL references (markers) and have updated them and/or updated the commands in them as best I can tell. (As best I can tell meaning that I see them saying that they are linked to the right address. We now require https: where we previously support http: access to a certain site, so I'm having to update all of the links that would go to that site that are included in the document that I'm trying to update)
The problem is multiple, as in I'm working on 2 different documents. In one of them it would appear that most of the links are just gone. Where I edited the marker to go to the right site there is no longer a link to the site at all.. just the text that shows the site name that was there as a hotlink before :-(
In the second document I'm having a similar issue, the hotlink that should be going to the site I want to reference is just gone. The text that should be a hotlink to the site is there, it's underlined as it was before, but the hotlink is gone... just the text remains with no hotlink in the .pdf file that is created when I print the book to .pdf
The other issue is that I updated the markers in the headers/footers to go to the https: address and yet the links that are there in the headers/footers are showing http: and that is where the hotlinks are trying to get to.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer on what I may be doing wrong or how to correct the issue.
Thanks!Barry,
It could be that whomever was creating the documents before simply relied on Acrobat's ability to convert URLs to active links dynamically, instead of inserting the actual hypertext markers on the FM end of things. In that case, you will have to add the markers manually.
There also may be a conflict between what Acrobat is automatically trying to interpret as a link and what you have defined by the marker to be the link. FM uses the formatting range that the marker is inserted into to delimit the "hot" zone for the link. So if the marker is inserted outside of a formatting change (i.e. not blue and underlined), then you may end up with two links in Acrobat. -
Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow
i am using mac os x lion 10.7
problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. -
ok so I have not updated my computer in a long time and I go to the apple icon in the upper left hand corner of my computer and click on it and then click on softwear updates and it runs and says there are no updates.
You have to buy the next OS X version. Free updates are only available for the version you have. Since you're posting here, assume you want to upgrade to at least OS X 10.6? Or further?
Call the Apple online store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE, or you can also order online from them too. OS X 10.6 is only available on DVD, not download. Get it, install, do Software Updates until no more are available. Done. You probably already have at least 1GB of memory, and some spare disk space to install it. Of course, backup first.
If you want to upgrade to OS X 10.8, see these requirements to see if your system is able to. Note the minimum memory is 2GB, however, 4GB is recommended. Assuming your system can run Mountain Lion, you can upgrade directly from OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.8. You don't need to upgrade to OS X 10.7 as an interim step. OS X 10.8 is downloadable from the App store.
If you want to upgrade to OS X 10.7, after you upgrade to OS X 10.6, call the online Apple store again to purchase a download code, then download from the App store. -
CS Live Icon not updating due to Adobe Story
This is terribly annoying. The icon in Photoshop will not update, even though I have already signed in and used Adobe Story, despite it being completely useless to me in my line of work. What do I have to do to get it to recognize I have seen the service and unflag? Or is it possible to remove items from that list or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!hi,
I think you are talking about the 'blue start icon' that is appearing infront of the 'adobe story' link.
If that's the case than it's a bug which is persent in CS5 and has been fixed in 'soon to be released update'
for now there is a workaround:
1) close photoshop and kill 'cs5servicemanager' process from activity monitor
2) now delete the cache folder (location of cache folder shown below, click to enlarge)
3) start photoshop and verify
thanks

Book editing - change a photo, book does not update
We are having a small problem. When editing our book, we double on some photos to edit them. Crop, color adjust, etc. Then we click done, and get sent back to our Book page.
Now about half the time the book preview does not update the image that we just changed. It seems to update the larger full page images more often than it updates the smaller images in the book layout. If I double click the photo again, I can see the change I previously made are still there, but they are not being reflected in the book preview.
So 2 questions, how do I force the book to update its photo preview? And if I print this will it use the edited photo, and not the version its showing me in the preview?
Assume this is just a screen display issue, and that the generated print will use the right assets, right?
This is in iLife '08 on Leopard on an intel Macbook.Squeegy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try changing the layout, i.e. from frames with or without text to the other and then back. That may jump start the picture to display properly. It works for me when I do some cropping, like from landscape to portrait and the frame doesn't reset itself.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
