Hyperlinks to folder locations don't work

Hello,
I'm having trouble creating functioning hyperlinks to folder locations on local or network drives. I've tried this both in InDesign CS3 and InDesign CS1 on Windows XP.
I select the text, create new hyperlink, choose 'URL' as Type, then paste the filepath into the URL box (e.g. D:\). If my text tool is within the hyperlink text of the InDesign document, then I click on 'Go to hyperlink destination', it will open a new Windows Explorer window with the correct destination. If I export to PDF, however (making sure to check 'Bookmarks' and 'Hyperlinks' to be included), these hyperlinks to local or network drives don't work. I get errors like 'Cannot find 'd:%5C'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct'.
The other hyperlinks to web addresses seem to work fine. Does anybody have ideas on this?

I should have read that more closely.
It doesn't seem to apply. The only reason that would matter is if you were running the SWF-output from Captivate locally.
ALWAYS test your product from the web to avoid any such security issues.
But yes, if you're putting the published file on a local/network drive, then that security change will need to be applied and, yes, for every computer that accesses the file.
You definitely want to distribute from an HTTP location.
I did hope the first part of that article would help. They're not difficult to setup once you find the option. Just highlight some text and right-click to setup the hyperlink...right?

Hyperlinks from Outlook 2010 don't work anymore (Firefox is my default browser)

Since I installed IE 9 I can't use Hyperlinks in Outlook anylonger (Firefox remains my default browser!). I tried already
a) set IE 9 default (Hyperlinks works) and switch back to Firefox (Error message and Hyperlinks don't work)
b) "Start" + R with any link doesn't work either c) delete in the registry HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\FirefoxURL\ & HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\FirefoxHTML\
c) Updated Firefox to Version 4 and things are even worse (Firefox crashes now)
But nothing works, can someone help me?

Is it using yahoo as its search engine, or switching to yahoo's browser. If it is using yahoo as its search engine, you can change that in settings>options>search and at the top it will show you a button that you can click to choose your default search engine.
Have a great day!!

Pages 5.0, hyperlinks, PDF file, links don't work

I upgraded to pages 5.0. My documents have many hyperlinks. When I convert them to PDF files the hyperlinks don't work in the pdf files. In pages: file > export > pdf > best image quality then to desktop. The links work on page 1 of the pdf file but not on the remainder of the pages. With the previous version of pages all the hyperlinks worked in the pdf files I created. Something I need to be doing with the new pages 5.0? Help. The links are a key component of my documents.
Thanks in advance.

Found a fix!
1. In the new version of Pages, export your document to a Word doc. Save.
2. Right-click on that Word doc in the Finder, Choose Open With > Pages (4.1) [Or just open Pages 4.1 yourself, then use File > Open and choose that new Word doc]
3. The old version of Pages opens your doc. Choose File > Export... Choose PDF. File will save where you choose, links active and working just like old times.
This is my first discussions post and hope it's useful!
Why would you want to export to Word .doc?
Just use Pages '09 4.3 in the first place and avoid the problem.

Hyperlinks to web pages don't work in Captivate 7 or 8

Hyperlinks in e-mail don't work

Hyperlinks in e-mails that I send sometimes do not work. I get a 404 error message, server not found. I am using Firefox 3.6.6 with Mac OS 10.5.8 Someone with a similar problem went back to an earlier version of Firefox, how do I do this? Any other suggestions?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

As someone else has this problem I reply to my own question. Only uninstallling and reinstalling Firefox cures the problem.

PDF's from some locations don't work

When I try to download an owner's manual (for example) PDF from Frigidaire's website I get the following error message. "Safari cant open the page ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Lassomption/318200924en.pdf because the network connection was reset, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
I get essentially the same response in Explorer. This is not a new problem as I had the same issue in 10.3. Frigidaire insists their website is fine. Many other PDF's work fine as well. How can I get around this issue?

Well I tried that link
ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Lassomption/318200924en.pdf
and had no problem, though a little delay in the start of the d/l.
I'm using Safari 1.2 in OS 10.3.9 on a powerbook connected via airport base station here at the house.
Are you behind a firewall of any sort there or have proxy configurations?
And you're saying you get the same error message in IE as in Safari?
Are there any other security configs? Is your browser set to download to the desktop? Try changing your D/l location to your users Home directory (safari | preferences| general)
Macintosh HD | Users | yourusername | Documents
Might also set the Saafari preferences to allow all cookies.
That's all I got for right now.

Hyperlinks in epub document don't work on sony reader for pc

I have downloaded a document wich contains hyperlinks. On Sony reader for PC it doesn't work, while it does on others ereaders I have tested.
Why?

Hello isalherbo,
I find it odd that you are not able to open hyperlinks as well. I have tested and confirmed that clicking on a hyperlink from a book does launch my default web browser on my PC. Can you confirm the version of Reader for PC you are running and the book details for which book that is giving you an issue please.
Direction for Reader for PC version:
Launch Reader for PC
Press HELP in the top left
Choose ABOUT READER
The version information will be display in the top right area.

Can I set up 2 folder locations for iTunes Media?

I have been searching for a discussion on this topic, but haven't found this particular question, only related ones, so please excuse me if this is a duplicate.
I have two external hard drives. I assigned one as my iTunes Media folder location, and I want the other one to be a backup.
Is there any way to avoid having to figure out every podcast update and make sure its copied onto the backup drive? Is there any way to do this automatically?
It seems to me that if we can designate TWO folder locations, it would work, but not sure that is possible. If not, any other suggestions?

Thanks, there I have it.
I had hoped Apple had a better solution, and maybe I was overlooking, but I guess the incremental is what I have.
There's recommendations to do automatic full backups after several incremental, and with 3tbs, its not reasonable on my 2007 iMac. It would just bog it down while I'm trying to do multiple things on it already. I'm thinking that I'll just go back to manually do it every few months like I did with my old 750gb drives I had before, and anything of serious value, I'll manually add to backup in interim. I mean, its mostly podcasts and things like that, which need to be replaced on the backup drive, and that won't take as long as backing up the whole drive every so often.
Maybe there's a hybrid version of incremental and manual, but it starts to get into headache territory, so I hope I'm making the right decision. If Mac offered the dual folder drives, that would have been awesome.
Not sure if usb 3 on the drives help, don't think my Mac processes usb 3 speed. The moral of the story is probably to upgrade my system. But it just works so beautifully for everything else I do now, so it seems a bit much to upgrade a system just to make my backups easier. I guess time will tell.

Selected music folder location

I have seen various complaints about this basic issue, but have yet to see a solution. Due to limitations on my computer hard drive, I have chosen my Time Capsule to be the music folder location. This works fine until the connection with the TC is ever interrupted, then iTunes resets the folder location to the hard drive. This is a PAIN because I then have to redirect it to the TC location, which makes me wait for several minutes while it updates the library. There must be a way to prevent it from reseting the location. If not, this is a flaw that needs to be corrected, as I'm sure many people are storing their music files in remote locations.

Download and use iTunes FolderWatch.

Hyperlinks in pdf don't work

Hi.
I create pdfs with hyperlinks in adobe indesign 5.5.
The created Hyperlinks refer to other pdf documents and still work,
but if I open the same pdf Files with another computer,
the links don't work.
I don't know why hyperlinks don't work on the other computer.
Any ideas?
Both Acrobat Versions have the ability to use and open linked documents.
It seems to be a general problem from acrobat.
Thanks!

If you create a link in Acrobat to another PDF file in the same folder or in a subfolder of the source PDF's location, the link destination will always specify only the filename (and optional subfolder), not the absolute path. Provided those two files/folders are moved together, the link will always work.
EG:
"Index.pdf" in folder "C:\Writing\Novels\MyBook"
"chapter.pdf" in "C:\Writing\Novels\MyBook\Chapters"
Linking from "index.pdf" to "chapter.pdf", the filespec attribute of the link will be "Chapters/chapter.pdf".
Copying the entire "MyBook" or "Novels" folder and subfolders to another computer, CD, etc. the link will work as normal.

My hyperlinks don´t work

Hi !
I´m a new iWeb user. I´ve created a website that works well in iWeb when hyperlinks are active, but when I publish it into a folder the lynks to my other pages in the menu bar don´t work. They worked well before I made some additions to the site (nothing special), but now the names of the pages in the menu bar of the home page don´t scroll. The link to an exteral page does work. I don´t want to publish it until I´m sure it will work properly.
Thank´s

Do a command A to select all and see if a text box or photo is overlapping the navigation and "covering" it.

Photoshop CS6. Save for Web Problem - Don't remember folder location

Hi!
Found one more problem with Save For Web in Photoshop CS6.
Example:
1. New Document
2. Choose - Save for web
3. In dialog window Photoshop CS6 offer to save in - os My Document Folder
4. Ok, every time I don't really need to save in os folders - I save files to my folders. So, change folder ...for example to disc D
5. Create another New document
6. Choose Save for web
7. And.... - Photoshop CS6 offer to save my file in os My Documents AGAIN !!!
So, in fact it's real uncomortable!!! ...if I save different files for web frequently ....I need every time change My Documents....it makes me nervous.......
Here - compare with CS3: CS3 remember "old" folder location even at another session (for example - after reload os)
Is there any fix this problem?
p.s. Testing on:
OS - windows 7 64 bit
cs6 - 64 bit extended
cs3 - 64 bit extended

Noel, Yes! In your example everything works like on your video. May be my explanation was not so clear, so...I'm trying to describe in more details.
I don't know how to make video & animated gif by capture the screen...so I'll try to explain by words
1. Start CS6
2. Make New Document
3. Save for Web (save parametres are: JPEG, HIGH etc....I think it doesn't matter)
4. CS6 offer "My Documents"
5. Change the way to "Disc D"
6. Save it by name for example "Untitled-1".... & close window "Save for web"
7. Choose "Save for Web" again
....So, at this step - CS6 remember my current location "Disc D" even I open other file & use command "Save for web"...it saves to Disc D. Everything is ok.
....continue:
8. Shut down the CS6
9. Run it again
10. Create new file or....even open saved file on disc D in previous session - "Untitled-1"
11. Save for Web
So, it's final: CS6 offer the "My documents" AGAIN
....continue:
12. Run CS6 - Make New File - Save for Web to disc D by name "Untitled-1"
13. Keep the photoshop session & create new document...let's call it "Untitled-2" - so, now I have 2 files opened in CS6: "Untitled-1" (it was saved on disc D before) & new "Untitled-2"
14. So if I'll try to save second file "Untitled-2" fo web CS6 offer the way "My documents" AGAIN!
p.s. Tryied to do the same on CS3 - Shut down CS3 2-3 times, opened different files, create new docs - there's no trouble. In global - CS3 remember last way (in my case it's "Disc D") & doesn't change it by itself. In fact working in CS3 I din't feel any problems with this command "Save for Web", that's the reason I didn't write any questions on forums etc..... But starting to try CS6 I really feel it makes the work to change every time the folder ways not so comfortable...so I wrote the question here
p.s. 2 In spite of I didn't work in CS4-CS5 cause it were not comfortable in my opinion....now I wanted to test "save for web" in CS5. Trouble is the same even during one session:
1. Run CS5
2. Create new document
3. Save for web - CS5 offer "My Dociment", change it to "disc D" - save - ok
4. Shut down, run CS5 again
5. Create New, or even Opened old saved file to disc D (for example from step 3) - CS5 offer the way "My documents" again
I hope this my explanation was more clear to understand

Bookmarks don't work if your bookmark is in a folder, it just doesn't open the folder which has the bookmarks in, though the bookmarks can be accessed through the bookmark manager. Sup?

Bookmark folders don't work, and I can't click the give feedback button, fresh install of FF.

I do and I can't add folders or bookmarks.. And it's pretty hard to set a default theme when I have nothing in addons, extensions, appearance, plugins.
The problem seems to appear(bookmark problem) when I click a folder for the first time, it works perfectly but then when I move my cursor to other folder or just open a new one, it bugs.
Ok, even though you said don't select anything else right now, I selected the disable all addons and now it works perfectly, so when the Firefox 4 Beta 7 was installed it enabled all addons even the ones that aren't compatible with it and that is why I got the problem, maybe change that feature off in the .exe package?

Firefox won't close completely, CTL+N and hyperlinks don't work

After many years of loving Firefox, lately it is causing me nothing but headaches. If I close Firefox, it doesn't close completely and continues running in the background. It often hangs and sucks so much CPU (upwards of 78%) that my entire system virtually locks up. I can't open a new Firefox window, ... regardless of whether I try from the menu bar or by using CTL+N. Hyperlinks on web pages won't work unless I right click and select "Open in a new tab."
I have tried disabling all of my add-ins. I am using the default theme. I have tried reinstalling Firefox, and yet still have the same problems. This has gotten way beyond being frustrating. I am about ready to completely uninstall Firefox and go back to the very much dreaded IE, so you know I must be desperate. If anyone can help I will be immensely appreciative.

I have that problem too. Actually, I've had that problem with Firefox 3.6.15.
When I close Firefox after, for example YouTube and try to open FF again, it says: "Firefox window is already open" or something like that.
Than I have to shut down a process in Task Manager. Really annoying.
Also, when that problem occurs, Firefox using about 80% of CPU and about 200MB of RAM.
By the way, I've installed FireFox 4 RC 2, and I don't have that problem anymore.
