Layers' actions disappear when pages are replaced in PDF?

When I replace pages in an existing PDF with updated ones, my actions for layers seem to not keep the actions they had set to them. I check the properties, and they seem to be there, but the action does not work.
I am replacing the exact amount of pages and the exact amount of layers.
Any ideas? Am I missing something when I replace the pages?

I think you will have to reestablish the actions. Layers are not like annotations that are left in place when the underlying page gets replaced. Layers (OCGs) are page contents, so when they're replaced with something new, the connection is broken.
Consider what would happen if you replace a page that had OCGs with one that doesn't. Since the OCGs are no longer present, any actions that control them would naturally not work. So even when replacing a page with one that contains the same OCSs, they are still not considered to be identical at a lower level and the actions can no longer work.

Windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac

We are having some problems with windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac computers.
We have a number of Mac labs that users can logon to using their AD login credentials. Their network shares are saved on a windows file server. The ad plug has been configured on each client Mac as has the LDAP plug-in. It is configured to connect to the Xserve which is running as an OD master. The system preferences for the client Macs are being managed from the Xserve.
The problem for the users is that they can log into the Mac no problem and they can see their network share appearing on the desktop and in the dock, but for some reason on random Macs and with random users the network share disappears. If they log off and log back in again the network share is still missing. As it happens randomly I can not put my finger on what the problem is.
Most labs either have Intel iMacs running 10.4.11 or Intel iMacs running 10.5.5
Any help will be appreciated

Mike,
We need to know some basic scoping information to provide any further input.
1)
Is the user prompted that the server will be shutting down?
2)
Does Task Scheduler show that the task ran at the scheduled time?
3)
Are there any errors in %windir%\tasks\schedlgu.txt?
4)
Does the problem still occur if the machine is in its own OU with blocked inheritance?
Does the problem still occur in a clean boot configuration with MSConfig
Steps to clean boot machine:
================
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select Services > click "check box", "Hide all microsoft services" > Disable all
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select startup> Disable all
Reboot
Thanks,
ankit

OSX Server webdav bug? - files and folders disappears when filenames are fewer than 7 characters

OSX Server webdav bug? - files and folders disappears when filenames are fewer than 7 characters
Dear Community,
i have a BIG problem with Apple webdav.
All files or folders with fewer than 7 characters in filename disappear.
The problems is only between Mac Server and Mac Clients
and exists since OSX Server 1 (Server 10.7, 10.8, 10.9) on ALL Macs i know.
The problem persist ever and occurs in the following settings:
Mac Server (1.x, 2.x, 3.x) <> Mac Clients (10.7.x, 10.8.x, 10.9.x, 10.6 not tested)
The problem does NOT occur in the following settings:
Mac Server <> Windows Clients
Mac Server <> Linux Clients
Linux Server (my Webhoster) <> Mac Clients
Windows Server (my Webhoster) <> Mac Clients
So i think it is not a problem with server itselv or a single client only,
it is probaly a problem with the combination betwen mac servers and mac clients.
This is NOT a problem with MY MacServers/Clients only and not with only one Server.
It occurs in many different Places and many different Machines.
I have contact Apple Support more then tree times (always when i setup a new machine with server.app)
but she said they heard first time about that and she cannot reproduce that problem.
please, can somebody try it out?
sorry for my bad englisch.
best regards
rené

Supplement note:
The Problem occurs also between OSX Server <> OpenWRT (Linux)

Upper layers partially disappear when lower layers are oriented

I have several layers of a website - each of which have 3D turned on and which were oriented to provide some perspective. I've noticed that when the layers are oriented, they tend to intersect each other - so I see some of one layer and some of another layer. I've also placed an animated graphic of a cursor on top of all the layers. When I reposition the cusor - and it moves into an area of the graphic below - it disappears.
It seems like there's a diagonal line running down the graphic and when images in layers above intersect with that area - they somehow diappear behing the oriented image below.
How can I prevent this from happening?
I was going to insert an image - but when I click the camera icon - all I get is a big grey box that says 'Insert Image' - but no way to select the image I want to insert. Very strange!

Your layers are intersecting because they are intersecting in 3D space. Look at a left or right view and you'll see the layers cutting into each other. If you want them not to intersect then you have to move them. The most common thing to do is to change the Z distance. It sounds like you don't understand 3D space. AE works like all 3D apps except that the layers are limited to 2D planes. If they intersect in the 3D world then they intersect. If one moves behind another then it is behind. The layer order does not make any difference unless you start inserting 2D layers or adjustment layers between 3D layers.
I have no idea what you mean when you say "I was going to insert an image - but when I click the camera icon - all I get is a big grey box that says 'Insert Image' - . . ." because you don't insert images into After Effects, you import them to the Project panel and then you drag or add them to the timeline. There is no camera icon in AE that has an Import function. What exactly are you doing and what app are you using to Insert something by clicking on a camera icon. There are no Insert functions in After Effects.
I suggest you look for some basic AE tutorials on 3D space. There are dozens if not more that give you the basics.

SSL indicator disappears when page with video tag has been loaded

I have a strange bug in Firefox, that was detected when site moved to SSL.
There is single page site built on Backbone.
When page with video tag loaded SSL indicator disappears.
Firebug shows that Firefox create GET request connection to the server but it hangs.
All site logic work correctly. And video on this page works perfect, I can click play and new connection will be created and video played but first connection still hangs.
There is four page with video tag (four steps of wizard) and hanged connection appears randomly on this pages.
Actually this issue exists without SSL, but detected only when we moved to SSL and lock icon began to disappear.

The SSL indicator can disappear if there is mixed content on that page (i.e. coming via an unencrypted http connection).
Did you click the Site Identity Button (globe/padlock) and proceeded to the Security tab in Page Info?

Internal speakers disappear when headphones are removed

My built in mac book speakers disappear when I remove my headphone. The system preferences says that they are not present. I've tried restarting and resetting pram. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried blowing into the headphone jack? There could be an accumulation of dust in there.

Content Pages are replaced by blank pages during PDF creation

Hi,
I'm creating a PDF from a series of TIFF images and encountering a problem.
I'll intermittently have 1 content page replaced by a blank page and this can happen anywhere in the PDF file. Upon several retries, I may just get rid of the problem. In a batch of 10 documents (50 & above TIFF pages), there may be up to 5 of them having this issue. Smaller jobs for up to 4 TIFF pages are alright. The inconsistency is frustrating as my operations involved thousands of these documents and I now have to validate every one of them.
Could this be a memory issue? I'm having a 2.6Ghz dual-core processor and 8GB RAM running Windows 2008 64bit Server.
Appreciate any ideas shared!
Thanks!

Perhaps ---
Maybe a blank PDF due to a "blank" TIFF which was the scanner output of a sheet of paper having no imprint (text, drawing, whatever).
Be well...

Layers palette disappears when I click on my project

I looked but can't find a help reference that addresses this problem.
The layers palette disappears everytime I click on my project. I want it to stay visible, without having to click F7, or go to Windows...Layers every time! How do I tell it to stay visible? It used to, and now it doesn't.
Thank you!
Rebecca

I just figured it out (several hours later).
I had to drag the tab off the palette and onto the desktop and there it is!!
Sorry for the bother. Thanks for the ideas, though.

PE9 Organizer (mac) - thumbnails disappear when there are more than 5 columns

The thumbnails in my Organizer are slow to load, and if I move the slider bar to the left to show more thumbnails they are replaced with the hourglass, and the comment 'building thumbnails' appears bottom left. The thumbnails do not reappear unless I increase the size to five columns or less.
I have disabled media analysis in preferences; I have run a repair on the catalogue; I have selected all the photos and selected 'update thumbnail'. None of this has helped.
I am running PE9 on a Mac, and have about 20,000 photos in my catalogue.
Can anyone help?

Until the Thumbs are completely generated I have the same problem. After they are all generated all is okay. This only happens after I bring in very large folders of photos. Also, look at the space just to the right of the date in the bottom left corner of the screen. If the software is busy you will see a spinning wheel. Any time it is spinning the software will be very slow.

Anchored Objects Disappear When Page Moved

I'm working in InDesign CS2 in XP environment. I duplicated a page that contains anchored objects. It was page one; the duplicate page is now page 5. I modified the duplicate page 5. Now I want the altered page 5 moved into page 1 position.
When I move the pages either by dragging or by right clicking on the page icon and using the Move Page command, all anchored objects on the page disappear. I also cannot release the anchored objects because the release command is disabled when I select an object with the selection tool.
Any suggestions?

I got your file, and after looking at it, it's probably better not to post it publicly. For the lurkers, it's a draft government document, not yet ready for release.
Anyway, I took a look at the file, first in CS2 where it was created, and then in CS3 to see if it would behave differently.
First, the anchored objects aren't really gone, just temporarily invisible. if you select the objects and move the page, you can still see the selection outline. It's some sort of screen display bug/glitch, I think, in CS2. Exporting to .inx didn't fix it, so I think it's not corruption, and it doesn't happen at all in CS3.
The bad news is I have no way to explain what the problem is, or how to prevent it from happening. The good news is I found a way to make them reappear! Select the text frame with the selection tool, and change its stacking order. I tried Ctrl + Shift + [ to send to the back, and Ctrl + ] to bring forward, and both seemed to work, though it may make a difference where in the order they start out. If one attempt doesn't work, try again, or send all the way back or forward.
For what it's worth, this is only a display problem. Even when the anchored objects are not visible on the screen they show in both printed and exported PDF.

Framed photos in booklet disappear when Pages prints!

I am attempting to have a printshop run a booklet from a Pages 08 file I created. Whenever they print (on any machine) the photos that are framed disappear. The frames themselves (of the ragged-edged, bent and shadowed variety) do print, but the picture itself will not, even though clearly visible in the PDF. The shop installed Pages and ran the job (thinking that the PDF might be the culprit). Same problem occurred. Can anyone suggest why, and how to overcome the problem (other than simply removing the frame)? Thanks so much.

I have the similar problem. I created a document and exported it to PDF thinking that I could print it on a plotter connected to Windows PC in my office. However the framed photos don't appear in the PDF when printed (and even viewed). I went back to my Mac and check the file, and found something real strange — the PDF document looks perfectly normal if I opened it using Preview, but have the missing photo when opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader...
I don't know what's wrong with the exporting, apparently the exporting works fine, perhaps something is missing from Adobe Acrobat Reader? (I had some error message telling me that some "frame was missing" when I opened the file with Acrobat Reader.)

A" to view warnings click or open a document "box cant be moved when pages are open

This box has suddenly appeared and I cannot move it will get rid of it when I open Pages,
It just comes with a warning;- to view mornings click or open a document?
Any ideas thank you

The same started happening with me today. It happens on opening Pages, so not a dialog box anywhere else as nothing is opening. I can go on to open a blank document, but the diaglog box is still on the top of the document, new message is "There are no warnings for this document", but I still can't get rid of the box

Timeline frame display disappears when viewing area bar changed

I'm trying CS4 and one of the frustrating things compared to Pro 1.5 is when I change the zoom using the viewing area bar all the frames that were displayed disappear and the only way to bring them back is to click in the area where they should be. In 1.5 the frames would disappear while the bar was being moved, but would be redrawn when the mouse button was released. Why doesn't the bar behave like this? The zoom slider does the right thing but is far too coarse.

When the # prompt has appeared, type in the first line exactly as posted, and then press Enter. If the command worked properly, another line containing root# will appear below it without any intervening line. Type in the next two commands in the same manner. The fourth command will not produce a root# line when properly executed; instead, the text screen will disappear and the machine will continue starting up.

Can I get spoken narration in background when pages are swiped?

Hello:
I have a 20-illustration picturebook currently in print publication. I've reworked all imagery from original AI files, and they look great, but I've hit a stumbling block in my efforts to incorporate spoken narration, page-by-page, of the 20 couplets which comprise the text for the book. (Actually, the text is contained within each illustration), but I still need a means to integrate an audio file per page, containing the spoken words of each couplet.
Actually, I intended also to have a musical, instrumental file playable in the background...one-time activation button on first page, hopefully, with looping.
I've looked for answers for these querries, but all I find is many others with the exact same questions...how to keep an audio widget playing continuously as one swipes through the pages... Some people seem to suspect that this deficiency must already be in development, and it's sure to appear very soon. I'd love to know one way or the other, so I don't finish this up without any sound integration only to find it becomes available in iBooks Author a week later...!
Any suggestions, web sites, models of similar books out there already...would be greatly appreciated.

Liz Castro is one of the preeminant ePub experts sharing what they know on the web. She discussed Apple's new "Read Aloud" feature for iBooks here. Adding Read Aloud to a Fixed Layout ePub is precisely what you are asking for. However, it's not an easy solution as you'll read in Liz's article. She's published an inexpensive ($5) mini-guide to help you create this kind of ePub file. It will help to have and know how to use Adobe inDesign but you can also use this information to hand code this kind of ePub file with a plain text editor.
Another possibility is an iOS app called "Book Creator" by Red Jumper Studio. It creates Fixed Layout ePub files to whick you could add the Read Aloud feature with hand coding. You'll need to learn a bit about SMIL though. It's not that hard.
So, yes, there are solutions for what you want to do but they are not easy to implement yet. I have hope that Apple will add Fixed Layout to Pages ePub export and possibly Read Aloud as well. You can petition Apple for enhancements such as this using the feedback function in the Pages application: In Pages do Pages > Provide Pages Feedback.
