Linked Images/Files not Updating to Remote Versions

Recently, I've noticed that when I go to upload a new page to our company intranet, any linked images or files do NOT update to the linked versions when they are uploaded --- they are still pointing to the versions on my local drive, so all users see a broken image or are linked to a broken file. I am putting/checking in dependent folders, and the images/files are successfully loaded to the intranet.
I'm able to fix the issue by manually locating the remote versions of the image/file and inserting it into my .html by hand, but obviously I would prefer to be able to do this automatically. This only started happening recently, as I never had trouble automatically updating links. As far as I know, no settings have changed.
This is for CS5. Any ideas? Let me know if there are any relevant settings or info I can provide.

Sounds like you have not created a Site Definition in DW. If you're working within a properly defined local site folder, DW correctly manages paths & assets for you.

Client getting an IP lease on the 64-bit LiteTouch boot image, but not the 32-bit version.

MDT 2012 U1. No problem with PXE booting so WDS is not the issue.
The NIC in question is the Intel I217-LM, which resides on both the new Dell Optiplex 9020 and the Latitude E7440. I downloaded the Dell drivers and then the Intel drivers and imported them into the WindowsPE drivers folder in the workbench. Updated
the boot images to make sure the new drivers were injected. Both yielded the same result. I can do everything I need to do when booting to the 64-bit LiteTouchPE_x64.wim boot image, but not the 32-bit version. When booting to the 32-bit
version, I get no IP configuration info at all.
When looking at the drivers in MDT, I see only one difference: the supported OS versions. The 64-bit driver supports 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.2. The 32-bit driver supports only 6.1.1 and 6.2. Not sure if that's the issue.
Tried using drvload within 32-bit WinPE to manually inject the NIC driver. Still no luck. Ipconfig yields no configuration at all.
If I can't get these machines to boot to the 32-bit boot images, I can't deploy 32-bit images, unless there's a way of which I'm unaware.
EDIT: A little extra background. My WindowsPE folder has two subfolders called x86 and x64. Obviously, 32-bit drivers go into the x86 folder and 64-bit drivers go into the x64 folder. Then in the properties of the deployment share a
selection profile is selected which points to the architecture-specific folders.

Specifically what do you see when you are in WinPE, press the F8 button, and run ipconfig.
1. ipconfig shows no network adapters (see:
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rpedersen/clip_image002_53DA17D4.jpg ). This means you still have not loaded the correct device drivers, check the c:\windows\system32\wpeinit.log file.
2. ipconfig shows an "autoconfiguration IPv4 Address" with a netmastk of 255.255.0.0. This means that the client did not get an IP address from the DHCP server. Double check the connection between the client and the DHCP server.
3. ipconfig shows a correct address. There is no problem. :^)

I get the first result. Absolutely no network adapters, which I assumed indicated no appropriate device driver.
This is the result of the wpeinit.log from the machine booting to the 32-bit boot image:

At first I thought the first bolded section might be relevant, but when I booted to the x64 boot image, which works fine, I get the same message in its wpeinit.log file. The only difference between the two log files is that the x64 boot image actually
shows successful installation of a driver where the second bolded section is.

FM9/Win - Changing linked image file?

I can do what I want to do in InDesign, QuarkXpress, and PageMaker, but for some reason this functionality appears to be absent in FrameMaker, which is utterly dain bramaged.
I have a placed image in multiple places in a FrameMaker document. The image is placed by reference, not embedded. I now want to link to a different graphic (annual updates).
Re-placing the image a zillion times is not an option, as the sizing and position is already set. I just want to change what FrameMaker is linking to.
For the life of me, I cannot find where or even if, I can do this.
The inelegant solution would be to simply move or rename the currently-linked-to file on the hard drive, and rename the new graphic to the same name as the old one. I do not like that option at all, as there are some instances in other documents that I still wish to link to the old image file.
Is FrameMaker's link handling really this clumsy and archaic? In the other applications I refer to above, I would either go to a links palette and change the destination or right-click on an image and relink it. In FrameMaker, the "Object Properties" dialog appears to only report the location of the referenced file, not allow you to change it.
What gives?

Dan,
To my knowledge, there is nothing in FrameMaker like there is in InDesign that allows you to relink an image directly, or even indirectly via a link list. I also have looked and not found anything. There is a link menu item somewhere but I have never figured out what it does.
There is a plugin by Bruce Foster that is used to archive a book or document and its linked image files and text insets. When you run it, the plugin COPIES the book file and ALL the files associated with it into another folder that you specify, and then readjusts all the links among these files to point to the copied files. It puts all graphics files into one subfolder and all text insets into another. So, once you get your book where you want it, with no future changes, run the archive, and then use the files and book in the archive folder to print or do whatever you need to do in the future.
The downside is that you have two sets of files to manage, but if the archived set is rarely or never edited or updated, then all is well.

Script to search and relink linked image files that were moved?

Good afternoon
My indesign product catalog has links with a lot of different folders around in my hard disk, not a single folder. And to keep my catalog up to date I must package it.
When I move my linked files in my computer because I change the folder structure or do some cleaning, my indd loses track of its linked files. Currently I need to relink one by one.
Therefore I would like to find a script which would scan the hard disk with the all broken links in mind to detect their new location and relink. Yes I am a lazy person.
Thanks for any clue,

Thanks so much! I will try soonest.
How does your script react in the unlikely case of duplicates?

At least your honest about your laziness.... Here's your reward:
Just a hint, don't select root of your volume, it will loop through every folder in existence, but key to this script is, if you know the general location, select into that folder hierarchy and the script will test for a relative path, otherwise, come back in a few days, and it will be finished.

Linked images do not load in my website

Hi all,
I built my website in Photoshop and Flash Catalyst. My site takes forever to load and my linked images do not load when they should. Can someone please help me with getting the load time down and loading the liked images. I linked them because I though that would cut down on the load time, but when I click the thumbnail the images doesn't appear right away it takes a while. What am I doing wrong? I really need to get my portfolio up. Also how small should my swf file be right now it's at 8.79MB. I am a designer and new to Flash Catalyst so any suggestions will help. Thanks!

Here's a super post from FlashCats:

Linking image files created in Mac are broken on PC and Vice Versa

Hello,
A fellow designer and I are sharing Illustrator files in the office but she is on a Mac and I am on a PC. Our linking image files are located in multiple folders on our company server, but whenever we open each other's files, all the links are broken and have to be relinked due to our different operating platforms. This can be very time consuming since the images are in different folders and there are many of them.
Anybody know how to fix this PC/Mac problem without dropping all the linking files into the same folder as the .ai file? I'm not the IT guy so I don't think that rebuilding our server structure is an option either...would cause too much havoc around the office.
Any help would be appreciated.

Let me ask you something does this sound like a viable way to work?
The way to do it is as you yourself suggest to work locally with all the files in one folder so you cannot break the links and that you know where the art is at all times.
If the IT thinks this is a good way to work then let them create a script to save all linked files to a common live folder for the project so that both computers can find it.
But from what you describe it is just looking for trouble and might be exactly what the IT wants trouble so they can extend their job. In which case ther is no solution.

Incopy files not updating

Having a problem with Incopy files not updating after designers on Indesign prepare packages on second round of revisions.
First, the designers create an Indesign file and prepare a newly created Incopy package. The editors are able to open the package for the first time. Editors make changes then repackage for designers. Designer then open package from editors and make necessary changes and then repackage back to the editors. At this point, the editors receive a message to replace when opening package. The files open but it doesn't update all the changes that was originally made to it. It as if it is still using the original assignments from the first newly created package. Also, all the assignments have "?" in the assignment window in Incopy. We are unable to figure out how to update the "?" in Incopy or relink or what ever we need to do at this point.
Several things we checked.
1. Unstuffing the package contents from the designers shows all updated file dates. So we know the package contains the newest updated assignment files.
2. If the designers rename the file names on all the assignments in the assignment folder, then repackage. The files open on Incopy with updated changes. But not if the file name remains the same. Also, if the assignment files are all renamed, it doesn't ask to replace anything on Incopy.
At this point. Our only solution is to rename all the assignment files and repackage. But we shouldn't have to be doing this, especially since it adds time to the designers to repackage the files.
Designers using Indesign CS 3 on Mac OS 10.6.4.
Editors using Incopy CS 3 on PC Windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When the InCopy user opens the assignment package for the first time, it unpacks (it's really like a .zip file) into a folder on their hard drive called InCopy Assignments. The folder is located in My Documents on a PC and in the Home > Documents folder on a Mac.
Every unpacked InCopy assignment package goes into a subfolder within this InCopy Assignments parent folder. Each package's folder is named after the *assignment* name (not the name of the package itself, which is usually the same but not always). So if the assignment name is Chapter1.inca, then the subfolder name will be Chapter1.
When the InCopy user repackages it for the designer, it packages a *copy* of this subfolder. This is the subfolder that Bob is suggesting they delete, after sending off the packaged InDesign file. That's a good idea.
If you can't rely on your editors to do that ... many are very leery of throwing anything away ... then your designers should *rename the assignment* in their Assignments panel before creating an InCopy package for the second or third or whatever time. They can just double-click the assignment in the panel, the Assignment Options dialog box opens, and they can change the name from say "Chapter1" to "Chapter1-v2". They click okay, they choose Package for InCopy, and send it off.
When the editor gets this file and double-clicks it, it unpacks into a different subfolder than before: Chapter1-v2, leaving the Chapter1 subfolder intact. So you avoid the prob of duplicate assignments on the InCopy user's hard drive.
FWIW this was much more of a glitch with CS3. Not sure what Adobe did differently, but assignment packages are much more intelligent in CS4 and CS5.

Enhanced podcasts, images do not update in separate window?

Hi all, when I watch an enhanced podcast, the images update in the itunes artwork window as they should,
but if I click on the window to display the images in a separate window the images do not update in the new window,
if I do this with a video podcast then it works just fine, the video plays in the separate window without any problems,
is this a bug, or is itunes not able to do this yet?
cheers, Rob

Hi Rob,
Did you ever figure this out? I posted two similar questions (with no replies) before seeing yours. If this feature does not exist, I am thinking that this is something that Apple needs to address in the next iTunes update. Since Apple is promoting enhanced podcasts, it is only reasonable that iTunes make them easy to watch.

FPJ files not updating upon topic import

Hi, Gang!
We have a large project file that's been maintained seeming forever. It's probably nearly 8 years old and has been upgraded through four or five versions of RoboHelp. To take advantage of some downtime in between versions, we decided to create a fresh project and import all of the content from the age-old project file into a new, pristine project file. Very briefly, the process was:
Create a new project and define a folder hierarchy in the Project Manager to match the original project. That is, create empty directories in the proper hierarchy for the project.
Import one folder at a time, beginning with the lowest levels of each branch and working through the project.
This worked really well except for about 30 broken links. Further investigation refvealed that the broken links were caused by files that imported but did not show up in the project manager because the fpj files didn't update.
I can manually import the missing files and one-by-one, the broken links disappear. But, because the fpj files aren't updating (verified by watching the fpj file for a given directory as I reimport files), the problem topics and resultant broken links reappear when I reopen the project.
By doing this repeatedly, I can occassionally get one or two fpj files to update, slightly changing the number of topics that are missing. But I can't get rid of them all.
I've tried opening the project using the hhp file instead and letting the project rebuild, but that doesn't help.
I've tried resetting the properties of the project directory to ensure that nothing is read-only, but that doesn't help.
I've tried deleting just th fpj files in the problem directories and reimporting but that doesn't help. It creates a new fpj file but it has no topics listed, no matter how many times I try to import.
So, here I sit with a project that's 90% there, were it not for the missing 10% of files that refuse to "stick" because when I import them the fpj files don't update.
(I'm running version 10 and am wondering if version 11 would maybe solve my problem.)
Any advice?
Thanks!
------later that same day-------
If I manually edit the fpj file for every offending directory and paste into it the content from the well behaved fpj files in the original project, the topics stay after project relaunch and the broken links stay resolved. The next step is to see if newly added topics are retained or if, once again, the fpj files are static and refuse to update.
Message was edited by: Rocky_XYZZY to provide additional information

If you want my opinion, forget about manual importing. I normally just
place all topics I want in the directories of the target project and
then fix the fpj files. Much faster than importing one by one. You just
need to make sure to patch all the links to images, style sheets and the
like in the target project. But that only applies if you change the
structure of the project.
You can also copy the information for context sensitivity this way.
To update the fpj files, you can use the following script:

I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
File name: VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
Failed to transfer data
Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server. I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts. Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work. Please advise.
Thanks.

The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.
