Linking tracks (REWARD!)

Ok, so the reward might be lame - but I'd appreciate any clear help with this puzzle.
I have created a DVD that plays beautifully. It contains 30 music videos that have each been compressed (via Compressor). I have pulled them into a DVDSP template "Light Index" and dropped one video into each of the so-called "light index" windows. I put some cool music under each menu page (of which there are 6) and made a nice Main Menu for navigational purposes. All the videos have end jumps assigned - and again everything plays very well.
Here's the issue:
I'd like users to be able to view a track and simply skip/jump forward or backward to the next or previous track. Just like one would do with chapter markers within a single track.
Each of the 30 tracks, of course, has a chapter marker assigned to it - and ALL 30 chapter markers have the same assignment "Chapter 1".
So the result is that when the DVD is being viewed, users can not skip to the next track or back to the previous track.
Without placing all of the videos on one track (which I think isn't doable since there are multiple original formats ie.e, 35mm, dvcpro hd, 16mm, etc) - how can I get all tracks to effectively link to one another so a user can jump forward or backwards through them.
Seems like it should be a no brainer, right?
First person to solve the mystery will receive a copy of the DVD which, I might add, is pretty cool
-KC

Ok, here's what I've done:
-Created a "Play All" button on my main page
-Created a Story for 3 separate music videos (just to test, if works I'll do all 30)
-The "Play All" button target is my first Story - "Story 1"
-Story 1's end jump is "Story 2"
-Story 2's end jump is "Story 3"
-Story 3's end jump is "Main menu" (which is what I've actually named my main menu)
I know that each of my stories "work" independently, because I see them, and can play them in their parent track.
However, when I simulate, and press "play all" (my new button), nothing at all happens.
Have I missed a step here?

Link Tracking and A Review App Questions

OK, I am not sure exactly which iWeb program I am using - I hope it doesn't matter too much.
So I am developing a marketing website and in need of a basic link tracking from where the web surfer came from, where they went to next, how long they spent on the site etc. Or something that is close as it cane to meet the specs from above.
Secondly, I also need a review application of some sort which will allow web surfers who have used the listed product to review it and rate it for other fellow web surfers.
Any suggestions for either is highly appreciated.
Many thanks for your time.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It does matter what version of iWeb you're using. Go to the iWeb menu and select the "About iWeb" option. If you're running iWeb 1 a lot of what you want to do will be very difficult. iWeb 2 is better and 3 would be best.
For visitor tracking you can use a 3rd party counter like StatCounter which gives you information on visitors like this:

Linking tracks so they play together in shuffle

Is there a way to link tracks together, such as movements of a symphony or the medley on side two of Abbey Road, so that they play as one during shuffle mode on iTunes 11.1?

Okay.. I just learned about "join tracks" but is there a way to join tracks if I don't have the original CD, such as from an iTunes download?

Linking tracks together,

Does anybody know if there is a way to link tracks, so that even if you are on shuffle mode two or more tracks will always play one after another. This is needed on music such as the last five tracks on Abbey Road, that lead from one song right into the next.

I believe if you put in the original CD you can use the "Join CD Tracks" option to make them all one long track, but they will be one long track, not five linked tracks.

Linking Tracks

I have a CD where the artist introduces a song and then plays the song. It's listed as two seperate tracks so when iTunes/iPod plays it, I may get the talk without the song or the song without the talk. I remember seeing a way to forever link tracks, but now can't find it.
Could it be in iTunes for Mac and not in iTunes for Windows? I have a Mac at home (Yay!!!) and a Dell at work (Boo!!!) and I may have seen it at home.
PEACE

You can use Join Cd Tracks which you'll find in iTunes under Advanced. You can only join the track prior to importing however not once the are already in. You load the CD and highlight the adjacent tracks then import them.

A LOT of iTunes broken links/tracks after Music folder move...

So yeah, I'm getting a TON of broken links / dead track links in iTunes after having to do two things to my iTunes install recently and I'm at wits end trying to fix it.
I keep my iTunes Music Folder on an external and share the iTunes library between my work Macbook Pro and my home Macbook. Every Friday I drag my iTunes folder and all contents from my MBP onto an external and replace the iTunes folder on the 'weekend' MB, then do the same back on Monday. I keep my iTunes music 'View' as 'Date Added' so that I can always be listening to whatever is newest. It's how I roll.
Well, this week I had some data problems during the transfer and had to use a previous week's iTunes Music Folder, which was fine as I hadn't added much this week.
I also got a new external because the old one was getting a little shady, so after doing the iTunes Music Folder replacement I moved my music all over to a new external drive, told iTunes where it all was at. iTunes did it's thing, 'organized' my stuff and all seemed good - until I got back deeper into the catalogue of music and started getting a LOT of broken tracks. The songs are still there, in the correct folders and all, but for some reason iTunes isn't finding them.
When I say a LOT, I mean so far it's hundreds of my 13,000 songs.
Now I COULD use the 'Super Remove Dead Tracks' script from Doug's to find all the broken files then re-add the whole library, but it will add all the old songs out of order because they will get a new 'Added' date.
I could also manually move thru my whole library holding down the arrow key for 'Next' to find all the broken links then go thru, select them, and use the 'iTunes Track CPR' script from Doug's to re-add them to the library with ratings intact, but still they will be out of order time-wise.
I cannot find a script that will parse my library, find broken links, and re-associate them with their tracks, nor can I figure out why this happened and any other way to fix it. Repairing permissions hasn't helped. Any other ideas?

Just to follow up with a more comprehensive example of looping through a Library to detect & repair "missing" file-tracks:
<pre>
property kErrAENoSuchObject:(-1728)
on run
tell (application "iTunes")
set theLibraryPlaylist to (first library playlist)
tell theLibraryPlaylist
set theNumCandidateFileTracks to (count (every file track))
repeat with i from 1 to theNumCandidateFileTracks by 1
-- Get a reference to this file-track
set thisFileTrackRef to (file track i)
-- Get this file-track's info (useful for debugging, etc.)
set thisArtist to (artist of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisAlbum to (album of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisName to (name of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisFileTrackInfo to (thisArtist & " > " & thisAlbum & " > " & thisName)
-- Display a diagnostic message every 500th file-track
if ((i mod 500) = 0) then
tell me
display dialog ("Checking file-track #" & i & ": " & ¬
return & return & thisFileTrackInfo) ¬
buttons {"Cancel", "•"} giving up after 2.5
end tell -- me
end if
-- Retrieve this file-track's target file (an AS 'alias' object), if any
-- {!!! NOTE: Due to a bug in iTunes 7.x+ (esp. when downloading), AS might
-- be unable to access the 'location' field of some file-tracks !!!}
try
set thisFileTrackTargetFile to (location of thisFileTrackRef)
on error errMsg2 number errNum2
-- Check whether it's that bizarre error: (-1728) "Can't get location of …"
if (errNum2 = (kErrAENoSuchObject of me)) then
-- Set up to just skip this track (assume it's being downloaded)
set thisFileTrackTargetFile to (anything) -- (Other than 'missing value')
else (* Re-signal all other errors *)
error errMsg2 number errNum2
end if
end try
-- Check whether this file-track is "missing" its target file
if (thisFileTrackTargetFile = (missing value))
-- Inform the user
tell me
display dialog ("Repairing this missing file-track: " & ¬
return & return & thisFileTrackInfo) ¬
buttons {"Cancel", "•"} giving up after 2.5
end tell -- me
-- Set up this target file's new pathname (e.g., via explicit user input, or
-- better yet automatically reconstructed from this file-track's tags such
-- as Artist, Album, Name, Kind, etc.)
-- ... Translate this file-track's kind into a filename-extension
set thisKind to (kind of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisNameExt to "m4a" -- ... Default
if ({thisKind} is in {("Protected AAC audio file")}) then -- Older DRM'd file
set thisNameExt to "m4p"
else if ({thisKind} is in {("MPEG audio file")}) then -- MP3
set thisNameExt to "mp3"
else if (thisKind contains "movie file") then -- E.g., interactive booklet
set thisNameExt to "mov"
end -- (thisKind = "MPEG audio file") ... else if ... else ...
-- ... Auto-build this target file's new pathname
set thisTargetFileNewPathname to ("New Disk:New Path:" & ¬
thisArtist & ":" & thisAlbum & ":" & thisName & "." & thisNameExt)
-- Assign this new target file (as an AS 'alias' object) to this file-track
-- (This is the crucial step that was impossible in older versions of iTunes!)
set (location of thisFileTrackRef) to (alias thisTargetFileNewPathname)
end if -- (thisFileTrackTargetFile = (missing value))
end repeat -- with i from 1 to theNumCandidateFileTracks by 1
end tell -- theLibraryPlaylist
end tell -- (application "iTunes")
end run

How to apply outbound link tracking code in Adobe Muse?

Using Adobe Muse v6 to build my website and want to set up outbound URL tracking on a number of links.
I have the correct code snippets from https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1136920?hl=en
<script type="text/javascript">
function trackOutboundLink(link, category, action) {
try {
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', category , action]);
} catch(err){}
setTimeout(function() {
document.location.href = link.href;
}, 100);
</script>
and
<a href="http://www.example.com" onClick="trackOutboundLink(this, 'Outbound Links', 'example.com'); return false;">
However Adobe Muse adds the a href code to the basic links in the back end, all I usually add is the http://www.example.com part.
Does anyone know a way to add the onClick="trackOutboundLink(this, 'Outbound Links', 'example.com'); return false; string to my URL to make it work?
I have tried using http://www.example.com"?onClick="trackOutboundLink(this, 'Outbound Links', 'example.com'); return false;
But it doesn't seem to work... Help appreciated.
An example page is here: http://www.roomcritic.com/asia/alila-villas-uluatu-bali-hotel-real-guest-picture-gallery-a nd-review.html

Hello,
As per the instructions on link below you need to insert the code in <Head> section of the page.
Conversion Tracking and Optimization | Facebook Help Center | Facebook
Once you receive the code from Facebook you can insert it in Muse site.
Open the page in Design mode and go to Page > Page Properties > Metadata > Html for <head>
Paste the code in the space mentioned in the screenshot and you should be all set

Reverse Link Tracking

Is there a tool or mechanism by which links to a given object can be tracked down? If the object is renamed, moved, deleted, etc, we want to make it easy to fix any incoming links before such edits are propagated to the production portal.
It seems to me that any web-composition tool such as the Oracle App Server should have a built-in means by which linkers can be found. But I haven't found anything that would enable me to do this in OApp 10g.
Anyone have any ideas?
Is there a reasonable way to develop an application to scan the infrastructure database to find linkers to a given object?
I would appreciate any help on this as one of the objectives of the website I'm putting together for our group is to make it easy to manage by anyone in the group. If someone has to manually scan every single page on the website whenever they delete or move an object, that would be ridiculous.
Thanks for any assistance...

I'm not exactly how you're doing your original animation but I expect that you're using text animators for position and tracking. Put tracking in Animator 1 but don't animate the range selectors, animate the tracking value. Don't use a text animator for position, just animate the text layer's position property. Make sure that the text is left justified.
That should do it.

Link Tracking Number

Hello Everyone,
I was searching through the forums and found a thread about UPS Order history page, but not sure this is quite what I was looking for. I wanted to know if it is possible to link the Tracking number that is sent out in the email so when you click on it the UPS site will open with your details. Thanks for the help!

Yep, if you edit the mail template "ordershipped" you'll see that its just HTML with some %% variables included that are in the Netpoint.API.Fulfillment.NPShipment class of the API.
You can edit or add a link to the UPS website that includes the tracking number, provided you are inputting this tracking number into the delivery when creating it in B1.
The link could be something like this: http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&Requester=NES&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&loc=en_US&tracknum=
<a href="http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&Requester=NES&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&loc=en_US&tracknum=%%TrackingNum%%"> Track package </a>

Link tracking on WLC5508

Hello,
I have two WLC 5508 with the software version 7.6.110.0 in an HA configuration.
Is it possible to configure something like a tracking on a port, so that the Controller starts a switchover if a port link is down or an ip address isn’t reachable anymore? I know a tracking like this is possible in Catalyst switches, but i didn’t found anything for a WLC.
Thanks
Larissa

I guess that you are referring to the SSO HA setup? All the fail-over conditions for that configuration are listed in this document http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-5/High_Availability_DG.pdf starting on from page 41. It is not possible to influence this behavior.

Video & Audio Linked Tracks Will Not Modify Together - FCP 6

I have a weird phenomenon w/FCP 6. When attempting to modify the length of video and audio clips that are linked (even Slug from the Generators area). I can only 2 either the audio or video, not both. Is there a setting which I need to modify? I would prefer to do this rather than re-install the whole thing. Thanks.

Clips that are linked have their names as undelined text in the timeline.
Clips that are not linked haven't.
So Check if they are linked. If not. Select and use Command L to Link.
AFTER that. Linked Selection can be switched on and off.
When Link is on. Then clicking on a Videoclip selects Video AND audio.
When Link is off. Then clicking on a videoclio selects video ONLY and NOT it's Linked Audio.
To toggle Linked Selection On and Off use SHIFT L.
edit: oh, almost forgot. ALT clicking on a clip toggles temporaraly (as long as the ALT is being pressed). This way you can also easily trim edges that are linked, while linked selection is on. ALT click and drag on the cut then only trims the track (audio OR video) that you selected.
Probably you are aware of this all. I just want to make sure...

Styling Links Tracked by Google Analytics

Hi everyone --
I'm tracking a site using Google Analytics. I'm taking
advantage of one of
GA's tools by tracking a 3rd party shopping cart. So far so
good. But
here's where I need help with 2 things.
First, how do I make the links in the code (around line 30)
for users
with/without JavaScript enabled follow my CSS styles; and
how do I do I make the rest of the line display --"or learn
more about the
race."?
Here's a link to the page:

Hi David
did you ever sort this?
many thanks

select the regions. Under the regions menu look for channel strip/instrument colors to regions.

Link Tracker

I'm new to actionscript and flash and i was wondering what
command i would use to put an identifyer up when a person clicks on
a button that i can use (and take off) later to decide where to
send that user.
example:
a button that sends the user to a certain frame and then
after those frames are done playing sends them to another frame,
depending on what identifyer they have on them.
so:
stop();
import flash.events.IEventDispatcher;
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,move);
function move1(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(155);
add.tracker(move1) <-????????
then:
if tracker = move1 {<-????????
gotoAndPlay(410)
THANK YOU so much :]

create a variable and assign it a value that's used to direct
your timeline "..to another frame".

How can I re-link multiple "missing" files from my iTunes without doing each one manually?

All of a sudden, hundreds of my songs can't be played because iTunes can't find the files. They are all still on my computer and I can link each of them manually, but that would take days! Is there a way to re-link multiple files at once?

Something must have been done to break the link. Did you manually move files or folders, rename files or folders, or otherwise change where iTunes thinks the files are located? Did iTunes crash at some point?
I haven't seen any truly successful tools to re-link tracks. You can check on Dougscripts website where there's one that uses Spotlight. There's also one that tries to re-link based upon your file being in a logical folder structure.
You could re-link by adding the files again. Of course they will be added as brand new files and not in playlists, and won't have ratings, etc. You can then use one of Dougscripts to automatically remove dead links.

Linking tracks (REWARD!)
