HT204053 This issue needs to be addressed......BIG TIME......

Dear Mr. Cook.
First off.....BRAVO on all your work and direction and stewardship with Apple since you have been at the Helm of Apple.......Especially with your attention and concern over the IOS 6 Maps issues currently......
BUT.......Here is "one more thing" that is SERIOUSLY starting to snowball upon itself and is fast becoming a HUGE problem for many if not most Apple Product users and or is iTunes and iCloud infrastructure users........
It is the Issue of Apple ID Accounts and the many that Apple Product users have and use within the iTunes and iCloud Infrastructure or systems that effect all users of any Mac Computer (Desktop or Laptop) and all of the IOS devices as well as the effects upon iTunes and the iCloud.
FOR INSTANCE:
iTunes is Now nearly 12 years old..........back when it first started I was a PC user (I now use an iMac, iPhone, and iPad).........and when iTunes first started my first Apple ID for iTunes was the e-mail address of the ISP I was subscribed too at that time which was:
[email protected] / plus the password
Over the years I made a ton of Music and Movie and Books and App purchases using that account.
But, over the years I have moved several times and also stopped using PC equipment and now am exclusively Apple, thus my ISP provider has changed and of course that means that the [email protected] e-mail address is no longer my e-mail address (it is now [email protected]).......because I of course was using a different ISP as well and I was also a MobileMe subscriber....
But because there currently no way to Merge iTunes Apple ID's......I still now nearly 12 years later have to remember [email protected] (plus password) Apple ID login for my ITunes account.........
And Obviously I have a [email protected] (plus password account) for both iTunes and MobileMe.......and now of course [email protected] Apple ID has now been rolled into iCloud......and now I understand that all the @me.com addresses / ID's are going to be upgraded to @iCloud.com addresses / ID's......
And Honestly, That will now give me Three (3) Apple ID's I now have to remember and keep track of........and i know for certain that there are other people out there that probably have more than that......5 or even dare I say 10 of the Apple ID logins that they may have created as the went from one ISP to another creating iTunes accounts or MobileMe accounts, or iCloud Accounts or accounts for any of the Apple services every time they bought a new Mac or Mac's, or iPhone(s) or iPad(s), iPod(s), etc. etc.....I think you can see where I am going with this.......
WHY THIS IS BECOMING A HUGE PROBLEM FOR EVERYBODY:          ?????
As I stated above over the years I have made a ton of music and Book and Movies and app purchases with my [email protected] iTunes account......
But as i was also using Mobile Me and now iCloud, I have also made a bunch of purchases with those Apple ID accounts as well......
So now when I go into iTunes and lets say I have 17 App Updates and I am logged into iTunes with the [email protected] ID, only those apps that were purchased with that account will update......thus I have to log out and log back in with the other Apple iTunes IDs in order to update or download the additional updates to iTunes.....It is an ENORMOUS pain in the ***.......and I only have three (3) Apple ID's / accounts......Imagine if you will what a headache it must be to the people that have something crazy going on like 5 or 10 different Apple ID's to log in and out of for iTunes and or iCloud, etc. etc.......
And Now.........it seems it is going to get even more confusing as i understand that all former mac.com and me.com e-mail addresses are getting rolled up and upgraded to @iCloud.com addresses......its is just becoming very confusing to many trying to juggle and manage multiple Apple ID's.......especially the very old ones that were created long ago when it was only just iTunes.......
This has become a problem that has been slowly growing and growing and needs to finally be addressed and fixed.......soon........before it grows to the point where it all becomes too large to deal with.....(and it might very well be already).......
There needs to be a way for ALL users of iTunes and iCloud (as well as former MobileMe users......developers, etc) to be able to merge all there accounts and Data (such as Appa, and Music, and Movies and Any iTunes purchases) into one account if they wish too all while preserving their personal data and without compromising security.....
And it seems like with all your systems and infrastructure moving towards iCloud, that it should be the developers and systems teams that are in charge of both iCloud and iTunes that should be working on this matter.....
I talked to one of your Apple Customer care people today by phone, and even that person expressed their frustration with this problem as she herself had multiple Apple ID's and logins and had encountered these issues I speak of.......
This is a serious problem that is still growing everyday for everybody........
And actually.....I wrote to you about this once before, and less than 24 hours later I actually received a personal phone call from one of your personal assistants regarding this issue and was told that at this time there was no fix that could be made........Unfortunate yes, but here it is nearly a year later and this problem is still growing and getting larger for everyone.......BUT, on the up side of things, I can tell you that getting that phone call was amazing.......proving once again, that Apple's customer service is world class and second to none......I wish every corporate company would follow your lead and model when it comes to customer service.......
Anyhow.........Please try and help with this matter if you can.....!!......
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Blake Norris

Tank you Blake,
Your not alone thinking this is a nightmare and if this not a topic concerning all old apple costumer's Mr Roger you never been on the support pages before. If you not believe me search "merge multiple Apple ID" on support page or Google it, I know you know this because you always trying to help frustrated people by saying this is not possible...
Thank you again Blake

  • CompositionElement sizing issue needs to be addressed.

    Ok, so it's not just the PosterFrame and VideoElement inside a SerialElement that's sizing wrong.  It's anything inside a Parallel or Serial Element that includes an element with a temporal trait, and a static element such as RTMPPosterFrameElement, PosterFrameElement, or ImageElement.
    I just tried to use ScaleMode.LETTERBOX with a ParallelElement that included a progressive AudioElement, and ImageElement.  The ImageElement does not size properly, and can be replicated in your ExamplePlayer flex project.
    Just add the MediaPlayerWrapper to a container with a smaller fixed size (like a canvas container at 320x240 ).  You will notice that no Serial or Parallel Element with a static element will scale properly.
    This needs to be addressed.  The direction for this functionality is great!  Having a Posterframe for Audio and Video is a must ... but it currently does not size properly.  The only acceptable ScaleMode is NONE.

    The Layout system was created after our UI components, and a separate UIComponent was created to work with the Layout system.  We have a backlog item to fix this in the current sprint, starting today.  I have a work around below which demonstrates how to use this little know component call a RegionGateway.   Cheers!

  • Lately, I'm unable to paste any image into the body of any email I compose. I did not have this issue before today. Please help.

    Could this issue with not being able to copy and paste any image within the email body, be virus or malware related?
    Though I don't think I have any virus problems. Also I have all the latest updates for Thunderbird.
    I read some suggestions posted elsewhere and tried those but none of these worked :
    DID NOT WORK #1 :
    (If your Thunderbird email message is displaying strange-looking code (tags) after each link, images are missing (it looks like images have been stripped out), and the font appears different, or bold, then you’ve most likely changed the message body view inadvertently. To switch it back, simply:
    Browse to View -> Message Body As -> and select Original HTML.)
    DID NOT WORK #2 :
    Email message looks fine, but doesn’t contain images
    If the rest of your Thunderbird email message looks okay, but is missing images, or they appear to have been stripped out, it’s very possible that you’ve changed a setting that won’t let attachments (ie. pictures) appear inline (within the message body). To change this back, simply:
    Browse to View -> and select Display Attachments Inline. )
    DID NOT WORK #3 :
    If you made the above changes to your Thunderbird settings and images still aren’t appearing in some of your messages, it may be that Thunderbird is blocking them because it thinks they are spam. To adjust your privacy settings and prevent the images from being stripped out, or not displaying at all (ie. being blocked), simply:
    Click on the button to the above right of the email message asking you whether you would like to load images.
    If the email message is from a trusted sender, you can click the link above the message specifying you would always like to load images in messages from this particular sender.
    DID NOT WORK #4 :
    If you’re still having troubles, or your changes aren’t being saved (ie. next time you open Thunderbird the images won’t display again) you can directly specify the default format Thunderbird should display email messages as in the config editor. To access it, simply:
    Browse to Tools -> Options -> Advanced tab -> Config Editor
    Search for mail.default_html_action and make sure it is set to 3 (allow original HTML). If you would like messages to open as text only (more secure, but you won’t see images, change the setting to 1).
    Could you please suggest what possibly has caused this issue? Thank you for your time.

    Thank you for your response.
    After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
    Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
    up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
    Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

    Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
    wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxx

    I've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
    I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far.

    HELP!!!! WE ARE FREAKING OUT HERE AND NEED A SOLUTION!!!
    Yes, me. I have an HP w2207 who worked with my 3 y.o. old MacBook (OS 10.4.??) via the DVI-port flawlessly. Then bought a brandnew MacBook Pro with 10.6.X and the external monitor stopped being recognized. It works now that I have changed the connection to the VGA-port of the monitor (and bought yet another adapter for the MacBook Pro) but the quality is not what I'm used to.

    Yes. I've tried 7 different Macs including a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and my external monitor doesn't work with it either.
    For me here's a recap:
    Installed SL on a Mac Pro connected to a 23" Cinema via DVI and Olevia 537 via HDMI Input #1 and now that input no longer works with Mac computers.
    Reinstalled 10.5.8 on the Mac Pro and HDMI #1 still didn't work, so I plugged the Mac into HDMI #2 and it worked.
    Reinstalled SL on the Mac Pro connected to a 23" Cinema via DVI and Olevia 537 via HDMI Input #2 and now that input no longer works with Mac computers.
    Since then, every device (PCs, DVD Players, Video Cameras, etc...) I connect to either of the HDMI inputs work fine. However, neither HDMI input works with ANY of the 7 different Macs (regardless of OS version) I've tried, except for a 10-year-old G4 running Panther or Tiger.
    The monitor had previously worked with the MacPro (HDMI input #1) and a G5 (HDMI input #2) for almost 2 years.
    When I plug the MacPro into any other monitor via HDMI, it works fine. Same thing with the G5.
    My theory is still that the installer for Snow Leopard somehow made my monitor's HDMI inputs incompatible with Macs. I'm so frustrated that I'm ready to buy a new monitor, but since there's no guarantee that a new monitor won't be adversely affected by Snow Leopard, I'm still dubious.

    Another "me too" post...
    Not sure exactly when it stopped working (since I don't use it every day) but my Viewsonic VX2455wm stopped working with my MacBook recently too. Checked with another MacBook (six months newer than my Late 2006 model) and that exhibited the same problem. Both machines have fully patched Snow Leopard installs. Both started with Tiger. Mine is regularly connected to the external monitor, the other has never been connected. I'm connecting using a DVI cable and a mini-DVI-DVI adapter.
    The monitor appears to work correctly. I've checked with a Windows laptop connected on the VGA port. I want to test with another DVI-enabled machine to see whether or not its the cable.

    Hi Guys
    I have the same problem with my new Dell 2209WAf. It worked fine before i changed from L to SL.
    I didn't know what happened so i have spend hours and hours to resolve the problem.
    Hours with Mac support and friends didn't change anything, i still cant make my Dell to work, or show up in preferences. I am working as a photographer and this issue is a real problem.
    I just heard from Mac Support that Apple is working on it.....well, doesn't help us with the problem today.
    So Apple, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! NOW! this problem should NEVER showed up, this is something you should have fixed before telling all the Macers to upgrade!!!

    Experiencing the same issues. However, on bit different hardware.
    I'm using the XLR8 ProView USB input devices. Using these devices on a mixture of 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 systems (2 MacBooks, 2 Mac Mini and 1 iMac).
    I can confirm the following:
    When attempting to mirror video, or extend the desktop, using a mini-DVI to S-Video/Composite device on OSX 10.6.2 no video is sent to the mini-DVI device (inputing into the XLR8).
    When attempting to mirror video, or extend the desktop, using a mini-DVI to S-Video/Composite device on OSX 10.5.8 video is sent to the mini-DVI device (inputing into the XLR8).
    Let me also state, that the mini-DVI port on the Mac Mini's do work. They have been connected to 19" monitors and working without issue. Today, the mini-DVI devices were replaced with minidisplay port devices, which are use in conjunction with the mini-DVI ports.
    It would appear, in my case, that the problem is that the mini-DVI port on both the MacBook and Mac Mini, running 10.6.2, as a secondary display device is not operating properly.

    Same problems here. I reloaded OS 10.4.6 which is what shipped with my MBP1,2 17" 2.16 Intel Core Duo 2GB ram and after installing that, i was able to select 1920x1080 for my external HP w2338h, DVI-VGA, never been able to connect DVI-HDMI. On SL, the max rez I was able to "use" was 1600x1200 which looked horrible. So this leads me to suspect that this must be an issue with SL.
    I spoke with Apple Tech support on Sat and was no help. The only suggestion was that I take my MBP and Monitor to the Apple Store. Those of you who are fortunate enough to live in Chicago in the winter, then you know that option really isn't that feasible, it is but just a giant pain.

    I have an iMac 9,1 Intel Core 2 Duo that I bought last June. It came with Leopard, but I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Currently, it's running 10.6.2. My HP w2207 Widescreen monitor works perfectly with it using the DVI port on the HP and the mini-display (not mini-DVI) port on the iMac.
    However, I just bought the top-of-the-line iMac 11,1 Intel Core i5 QuadCore three days ago and it crashes nearly every time that it wakes from "sleep" when the HP w2207 is connected to it. It doesn't even recognize that the w2207 is connected to it. Additionally, when the w2207 is connected, it (a) looks terrible - very dim and very granular, and (b) causes the iMac QuadCore to operate very sluggishly. When I disconnect the HP w2207, the iMac QuadCore is lightning-fast.
    Much like my older iMac, the QuadCore is running 10.6.2 and I'm using the mini-display port.

    Another me too post. I have a new 17" MacBook Pro with 10.6.2 installed. Trying to connect to an HPL2245wg - sometimes it works flawlessly - other times not at all. Some mornings I spend 30 -40 minutes rebooting, unplugging and plugging the monitor, Detecting Displays, changing the Graphics Card (Energy settings) - all to no avail. Very, very frustrating Apple - please figure out what is going on with this issue....and get it fixed!

    Wow, me too. Did a minor software update (apple released it) last night, got on this morning and BANG - my main 24" Dell display is NOT working.
    This is ******, apple have surely f**ked up here. It's never had a hitch, ever, since i bought it 9 months ago.
    We are all reporting the same thing - software update, and then no working external display...

    I seem to have found a fix for myself. I was having terrible issues with the screen blinking and flickering constantly. I tried to reset the SMC with everything unplugged and the computer would not reboot at that point on it's own which led me eventually to reinstalling SL.
    Reinstalling SL is quite painless actually as it installs on top of your profile. After reinstalling I ran software update which installs the cumulative upgrades. Now I usually don't have any problems but must follow the instructions to run in clamshell mode to the letter.
    After a week of running in clamshell mode I started having an issue with the dock not lining up so I put the computer to sleep, disconnected the monitor and restarted with nothing connected. After that, followed the clamshell mode instructions again and have been working fine again all week.
    I've also disabled my screen-saver, and deleted the windowserver preferences as part of my debug process but not sure if that has contributed to my new found stability.

    Me too. I have a MacBook Pro 2,2 running the latest Snow Leopard 10.6.2. After I have installed yesterday's security patch it does not recognize external displays on the DVI port any longer. Tried it with a 23" DELL at the office and a 23" Samsung at home. Both have worked without any problems for years.
    I am curious to learn how this behavior is related to security...

    Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

    Hello:
    You need to contact "epost."  The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.

  • I updated to iTunes 10.5 on Vista. As with iTunes 10.0, The DEP will not allow iTunes to open.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?  I can't update my telephone or iPod.  I can't even open the iTunes program!!!

    I am sick of dealing with this issue.  I wish not that I had never even started using any Apple products, beginning with iTunes.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND MAKE ITUNES SOMEHOW COMPATIBLE WITH DEP IN WINDOWS VISTA?
    That being said, Is there any way to resolve this?  What I did in the past is completely wipe ALL Apple files from my computer, and install an older version of iTunes.  It was at least functional.  It seems that any version of iTunes 10.0 or more recent is not compatible with the Data Execution Prevention in Windows.  You can not remove iTunes from DEP, yet DEP prevents iTunes from running.
    The down side is that I can't get the latest updates for my iPhone or iPod.  Now, I have a new phone for my husband that needs syncing on my iTunes, and I can't do that because iTunes won't even open.
    Can somebody help me out with this, please? 

    OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
    First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
    If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    (Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • Data Execution Prevention in Vista prevents itunes from running.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?

    Is there no solution to this problem?  The Windows site says keep checking the Apple site to get a version of iTunes that is compatible with the issues between the Data Execution Prevention in  Windows Vista and any of the later versions of iTunes.  Problem is, IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT APPLE REALIZES THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.  If there is a solution, or a patch that can be downloaded, or anything, I would really appreciate knwoing about it.  The last time I had this problem was when I updated to iTunes 10.0.  It took most of 3 weeks to figure out a fix for that.  Now, I have a new phone, and it will not sync unless itunes 10.5 or later is installed.  I tried updating to that, and now I'm back to square one with the DEP problems.  Please help!!!!  thanks!!

  • I have an Airport Extreme as my router and am using time capsule to extend the network in my new house. My ISP is only providing me 4-5 ip addresses and wants me to set up my router to issue out new ip addresses for all my devices.How do I fix this?Help

    I have an Airport Extreme as my router and am using time capsule to extend the network in my new house. My ISP is only providing me 4-5 ip addresses and wants me to set up my router to issue out new ip addresses for all my devices.How do I fix this?Help.
    They said I need to change my settings to NAT settings. I haven't been able to figure out or find anything. I have also spoken to Apple Support on the phone for hours without being able to figure out how to do this ( i don't think he knew much either lol.) Please help me because I've got about 15-20 devices in my house that require to be connected to the internet and this is just making things ridiculously slow and painful for me.
    Thanks!

    It is on DHCP & NAT under router mode yet my isp is still the one issuing ip addresses to my devices instead of the router issuing them

  • I am having problems getting iTunes to load - if I can't solve this issue I will have to get rid of my iPhone 4S which I don't want to so can someone help me out with this as I'm starting to get really fed-up and paranoid - I need my phone

    As stated above - I am having a really big problem with the iTunes 10.6 installer.
    First tells me 2 DLL files are missing and then that a program needed for the install isn't there.
    I never had a problem withiTunes last year when I had an iPad.
    I deleted the iTunes from then because I found the iPad to heavy - I have very severe arthritis
    in my wrists. I might as well send my iPhone back to the retailer I got it from if this issue can't be solved.
    I'm using Windows XP Pro with SP3 so it should work.
    Please can someone help?
    Cheers

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • Apple, please address this issue!!! Searching and special characters

    I've found at least one other topic here regarding this issue, but Apple has yet to address it, or even confirm that it's in fact an issue.
    A big portion of my library consists of international artists, many who have special/nonstandard characters in their names (e.g. "Tiësto"). In previous versions of iTunes, I could search for "Tiesto" (note the absence of the umlaut over the 'e') and all of those tracks would appear. However, after upgrading to iTunes 9, I'm forced to search for "Tiësto" in order to view those tracks.
    Thinking about this issue, it would seem that this is normal behavior, as an artist named "Pàz" isn't necessarily the same as "Paz". But the reality is that NO ONE wants to take the time to search for the alt-code of a special character, and then type it in. Additionally, most people (including me) have a number of reasons for not renaming the artist to conform to standard characters.
    Clearly, something has changed between iTunes 8 and 9. And it's incredibly frustrating. A big chunk of my library is virtually inaccessible to me now, unless I search for terms that don't contain special characters.
    Apple, **PLEASE** address this issue. I'm not the only one with the problem and it's become a huge pain in my side to have to work around this.

    I don't see how it's sloppy or why there should be any reason that it shouldn't have given you both.
    Even putting aside that gracenote and others don't have consistent spelling in their databases, that when you download from the iTunes store, who knows what you're going to get, so that one's library could be all over the place and one might not even notice it, accents and other markings don't change the fact that a u is the same letter as ú.
    Yes, it's pronounced different. Yes, the difference is very important. But it's the same base letter. And even if it's considered a different letter in another language, in English we have 26 letters and all the accents and tildes and umlauts don't make them a new letter, which is what we're talking about here.
    It's a huge pain that looking for an album that has "Zürich" in the field and I type in "Zurich" I can't find it. I have to think about if I really do have that album, maybe I deleted it by accident, etc. And then I think to type "rich" and then it pops up.
    That's way too many steps. I don't know keyboard shortcuts and I don't want to learn them. In English, it should be letters, not characters, that count.

  • Operate C# to modify PPT's hyperlink, while configuring the hyperlink's text to display attribute, the address value will be assigned as null. Anyone know this issue? Any solution?

    operate C# to modify PPT's hyperlink, while configuring the hyperlink's text to display attribute, the address value will be assigned as null.  Anyone know this issue? Any solution?
    How to reproduce the issue:
    1.Create a new PPT slide in Office2010.
    2. Insert a certain text/characters, such as Mircosoft blablabla,
    3. Insert an URL right after the text part , TextToDisplay is the “Test”,Address is the "Url".
    4. The content in the ppt is ”Microsoft Test“,here "Test" is the hyperlink which we would like to convert. Please execute the code we list below.
    5. The problem will be reproduced by the above steps.
    PPT.Application ap = new PPT.Application();
    PPT.Presentation pre = null;
    pre = ap.Presentations.Open(mFileName, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);
    foreach (PPT.Slide mSlide in pre.Slides)
    PPT.Hyperlinks links = mSlide.Hyperlinks;
    for (int i = 1; i <= links.Count; i++)
    PPT.Hyperlink mLink = links[i];
    mLink.TextToDisplay = mLink.TextToDisplay.Replace(mLink.TextToDisplay,"url");
    mLink.Address = mLink.Address.Replace(mLink.Address, "url");
    Modify texttodisplay, the address vaule will be assigned as null. Anyone knows how to solve it?
    Does it caused by a PPT API's Limitation?

    I've tried the below code and it works, you can refer this article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff745021.aspx
    to find that the hyperlink needs to be associated with a text range, and thats what I did in the code below with the help of the link sent by Tony.
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application ap = new Application();
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentation pre = null;
    pre = ap.Presentations.Open(@"C:\Users\Fouad\Desktop\abcc.pptx", Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);
    foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Slide mSlide in pre.Slides)
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Hyperlinks links = mSlide.Hyperlinks;
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Shape textShape = mSlide.Shapes[1];
    for (int i = 1; i <= links.Count; i++)
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Hyperlink mLink = links[i];
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.TextRange range1 = textShape.TextFrame.TextRange;
    TextRange oTxtRng = range1.Find(((Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Hyperlink)mLink).TextToDisplay,After:range1.Start,WholeWords:Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue);
    oTxtRng.Replace(((Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Hyperlink)mLink).TextToDisplay, "url");
    oTxtRng.ActionSettings[Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpMouseActivation.ppMouseClick].Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.microsoft.com";
