Links to .mp3 files don't work in OS5...?

Hello all,
Ever since upgrading to iOS5 - I can't play certain .mp3 files hosted on my server - this was not an issue in previous versions.
Links like this: http://www.dksound.com/media/DK_Radio_3_2011.mp3
appear broken on the iPad and Iphone but play just fine on other devices.
Any suggestions
Thank you
Rasmus Schwenger

Rasmus-
Its your website as far as the iPad is concerned! That doesn't mean that iOS 5 is not at fault. I still think it would be worth providing the specifics to Apple at <iPad Feedback>. There might be a simple correction that could be made to the next iOS 5 revision.
At least some other websites do not have the problem, so there is most likely something in your website's HTML code that is different. Is it possible to download the HTML code of other websites and compare with yours?

ITunes MP3 files don't work with other programs

I want my digital music files to be compatible with all other devices so I rip to MP3 using iTunes. The ID tags that iTunes puts on the MP3 files are not compatible with other players such as Windows Media Player and Creative. Does iTunes use a propriatary format for the tags? Am I doing something wrong?

Links to external files don't work

Hello
Using RH 8.02 and converting linked Word docs (Word 2002) to WebHelp. These are policies and procedures that reference external documents.
In my Word doc I have a hyperlink to an external document. This doc is on a network server. In Word I added the hyperlink and it appeared as a relative path, such as ../RelatedDocs/RelDoc1.doc.
The referenced file is an external file, and I don't want to add it to RH because it may be updated; I just want to link to it so that a user gets the latest version.
When I update the HTML files in RH I see this in my HTML file:
<a href="file:////terminus/avbase_techsupport/av-base documents/supportmaster/documentationshare/relateddocs/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
This is the correct absolute path for the referenced file. Note the file://// prefix, with four forward slashes.
When I generate WebHelp, the link doesn't work. Nothing happens.
I tried the following:
1. Copied the whole path into my Windows Start > Run box and hit Enter. Nothing happens.
2. Removed two of the forward slashes and copied it again into the Run box. Now the file opens in Word.
I also tried removing the hyperlinks from the Word docs and adding them through RH instead. Same result.
Why does RH add four forward slashes to the prefix? What can I do to get these external links working?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Peter
I apologize for taking so long to respond. I just received a new computer with Vista and have had to set it up. Here is what happens:
1. In Word, I have a doc policy1.doc that contains a hyperlink to reldoc1.doc. The two files are in different folders. When I insert the link, Word shows it as a relative path ../RelatedDocs/reldoc1.doc. When I hover over it in the Word doc, it shows as an absolute path starting with file:///\\theserver, etc.
2. My RH project includes policy1.doc but not reldoc1.doc. I update policy1.doc in RH. In the HTML topic file (HTML view) the link is:
<a href="file:////theserver/path/reldoc1.doc">Link text</a>. Note the four forward slashes.
3. I save all project files and generate WebHelp.
4. In the resultant web page (in Firefox), I click the link in policy1 and nothing happens. The status bar shows the path the same as above.
5. I navigate to the output !SSL! and find the index page, and open it in Internet Explorer 8. The link shows in the status bar as file://theserver/path/reldoc1.doc, and when clicked IE opens the Word doc.
So in this case Firefox doesn't open the link but IE does.
Here is another scenario:
1. I have no links in myWord docs.
2. I generate topic files in RH using the linked Word docs.
3. In RH, in the HTML file for policy1 (policy1.htm) I add a link to reldoc1.doc. I choose the file protocol. RH asks me if I want to copy the doc into the project folder, and I say No.
4. I check the HTML for policy1.htm and see that it has the link as follows:
<a href="file://J:/Documents/rest of folder path/RelDoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
(Going to Hyperlink Properties shows the same path.) Note the two forward slashes.
5. I save all files in the project and click Generate Primary Layout (which is WebHelp). A dialog asks if I want to update <some file or other, but I can't see which one because that darned dialog box is too small, but I expect it's policy1.htm>.
6. I say No. The output is generated and I view it in Firefox. The link works and has a path in the status bar as:
<a href="file://J:/Documents/rest of folder path/RelDoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
Note the three forward slashes.
7. I view the index.htm file in IE and it works.
As a variant of the above, instead of saying No when asked if I want to update the file, I say Yes.
1.The HTML of policy1.htm now shows the link as:
<a href="file:////server/rest of path/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
Note the four forward slashes again.
2. The link is as shown in the status bar of Firefox is now set to:
<a href="file:////server/rest of path/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
It doesn't work.
2. The same link shown in IE status bar has two forward slashes (even though the source has four), and it works.
So in answer to your question, the link definitely changes within RH. The two browsers deal with things differently, with IE seeing a file://// link as file://.
Incidentally, I did some research on the file:// protocol and came up with:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues_:_Links_to_Local_Pages_Don%27t_Work
The answer seems to be:
1. Add the links within RH.
2. Don't update when generating output.
3. If possible, get users to use IE instead of FF.
Either way, it's not very satisfactory for my purposes.
Regards,
Roger

CS5- Custom Links to EPS Files Don't Work?

I am building a plugin that allows a user to place graphic assets from our own external asset management system into their InDesign document. These assets need to maintain a "custom link" to the external assets.
Everything was working great for simple raster image formats (like JPEG) but the custom link information seems to get lost for EPS files.
After doing some deep debugging I decided to try building one of the sample plugins that ship with CS5 - 'customdatalink' and the accompanying 'customdatalinkui'. This sample does a similar type of thing with CSV files that reference external assets.
To make a long story short, the sample plugin exhibits the exact same behavior. If you edit one of the sample csv files to point to an EPS image and place that in a document, you'll see that the Link URI is replaced with a file:// style path instead of the custom csv:// URI. It works as expected for JPEG files.
Surely this is not expected behavior. Am I missing something obious here or is this a simple (but pretty major for my plugin) bug?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
p.s. this behavior is identical on both Mac and Windows.

Here's a bit more detail. Again the idea is to return an IPMStream that doesn't include a IID_IFILESTREAMDATA. So I make a proxy IPMStream that just forwards requests to a real IPMStream.
I've abbreviated a bit here for space reasons.
So I make my own IPMStream object adding the class to my .fr file:
class FileProxyWriteStream : public CPMUnknown<IPMStream>
public:
               FileProxyWriteStream(IPMUnknown* boss);
          virtual     ~FileProxyWriteStream();
          void SetRealStream(IPMStream *, AeInDesignGeo *);
          virtual uchar XferByte(uchar& chr) { return mRealStream->XferByte(chr); }
... all IPMStream methods
Create my proxy stream:
proxyStream = ::CreateObject2<IPMStream>(kFileProxyWriteStreamBoss, IID_IPMSTREAM);
And I create a IPMStream:
InterfacePtr<IPMStream>          realStream(StreamUtil::CreateFileStreamReadLazy(file, kOpenIn));
Tell my proxyStream about the realStream
proxyStream->SetRealStream(proxyStream);
and CreateResourceReadStream returns my proxyStream
Hope this helps

Link to a file doesn't work anymore

I repeteadly made this experience: I link some text to a file and upload it via .mac. However, when I change the file, the link doesn't work anymore. Even if I set up the whole thing again and upload it, it doesn't work.
Seems like I get one chance per link and that's it.
Does anyone know how to get the link working again?

I just started using iWeb last night for the first time and ran into the same (or similar) problem. I did it kind of backwards but that shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. I also came across another problem with text which was not supposed to be a hyperlink but ended up being one and one I couldn't turn off.
I created a text field, typed in some text, then made the text an active hyperlink and attached the link to a file. That first one worked OK. Then I copied and pasted that text field about ten times, changed the text slightly and set each text field to another different file link. I then published and tried the links using Safari. The first few links worked fine and the files were automatically downloaded to my downloads folder. However, clicking on the last few links downloaded files from the other previous text links instead of the ones they were supposed to even though the inspector shows the correct files. I even tried doing new text fields and new links but they still don't work correctly.
The other problem is that I created some more text fields to be used as descriptions for the file downloads by copying a hyperlinked text field. I realized after the copies were made and I had spent some time changing the text that these text fields carried over the linked hypertext attribute. Since I didn't want to type everything out again from scratch, I just turned off the hypertext link attribute in the inspector. However, after I saved the web site and then published the site, I discovered that the text was still linked to a file download. I went back into iWeb and that hypertext checkbox was now checked. I turned it off several times but every time I publish, it turns it back on by itself.
I am going to create the entire page over again from scratch and try the method of dragging files from the finder to initially create the link (got that from the help file).
Also it would be nice to have better/more file download features in iWeb such as being able to access a file picker where the web user could select files s/he wanted to download instead of requiring one button per file. Also, some way to automatically compress into one download a selection of several files.

I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)."

Links in object states don't work

I have an object state with several text boxes, hyperlinks and buttons works fine, UNTIL i create buttons to control the object states appearance. Then the integrated links in the mso don't work.
Have tried with new document, new folio etc. As soon as I delete buttons to control the mso, the links works perfect. HELP please

Hi,
You can solve this problem putting the buttom outside the MSO. And recreate the links inside the MSO.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?

IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?

Ha! Perfectly classic case of XY problem! Pointed out by Jongware in some other thread recently - couldn't find an exact link right now...
In short:
    User wants to do X.
    User doesn't know how to do X, but thinks he can fumble his way to a solution if he can just manage to do Y.
    User doesn't know how to do Y either.
    User asks for help with Y.
    Others try to help user with Y, but are confused because Y seems like a strange problem to want to solve.
    After much interaction and wasted time, it finally becomes clear that the user really wants help with X, and that Y wasn't even a suitable solution for X.
Maybe it worth to add to a list of tips and best practices of the forum:
Avoid XY problem!

Audio files don't work in FCE

I have clips that I want to use in Final Cut Express that have audio in 48 KHz, 16-bit integer mode.
The FCE manual says "16-bit audio: For video capture and output, 16-bit audio is almost always used"
When I import the clips into FCE and place them in my sequence, I get the dreaded red line over the audio, and I can't seem to "render," so essentially, my clips have no sound.
The default audio settings for my sequence are 48 KHz, 32-bit floating point, about which the FCE manual says "Final Cut Express HD mixes the audio in your program internally at 32-bit, floating-point resolution even if your source audio is 16-bit. The result is that all audio calculations are made with higher precision, maximizing the quality of your program’s audio."
But since my audio files don't work in FCE, something is not right, and I don't know how to change it. The only way to change sequence settings is to load presets, none of which give me contol over the audio settings at this level. How do I get my audio files to work?
Thanks,
Rebecca

Ok, so I opened up one of the orignal clips in QT, and clicked on "Export -> Quicktime movie." Under settings, I made sure the compression was DV/DVCPRO NTSC, and the audio was set to 48 KHz, 32-bit floating point. And exported. And then imported the clip into FCE, and it worked! (Even my teacher in my Final Cut class couldn't answer this one for me).
Question is, if all cameras record at 16-bit interger (as the FCE manual says) and FCE requires 32-bit floating point (as it seems to), why doesn't it do the conversion automatically (as the manual suggests, but does seem to actually do)? I guess I don't really need this question answered, since I now have a fix, but I still need to use QT to convert every clip before I can use them in FCE, which is still a pain.
Thanks,

I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't Work.

I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't work. When I called apple support she said to hard boot by holding off and home keys and restart. However this is only since the new release of the operating system, it happens ever day and it's getting OLD.. Any solutions?

Yes, almost daily since the iOS update. Is there a permanent solution. And does the hard reboot hurt the iPad?

Click url links from email (thunderbird) don't work.

click url links embedded in email don't work. I tried the "fix" to go to thunderbird (email account) and follow tools-options-...but when I got to "advanced" it would not click. Clearing the "cache" seems to be important, but I'm not even sure that's the problem. It started to develop after I upgraded some add-on movie-audio feature to firefox. So, I suspect there is some incompatibility there. Please help.

Since posting, I figured it out with a google search - to simply find a way to identify firefox as my "Default browser" - apparently, any time you update windows or do add-ons from Bill Gates, he makes your computer take IE the default browser - so the clicking doesn't work from email on firefox. So, I went into the control panel for "default programs" and clicked again to make Firefox the one, re-booted and everything works fine now. I suspect that many people will find this approach very helpful when they get frustrated with the same problem. Thanks google!

Links to mp3 files in pdf docs not working on laptops

I'm working in IDCS3 on imac OS 10.4.11, producing pdf documents with links to sound files (mp3) and video (mp4). The sound/video files are not embedded.
The pdfs and sound/video files are placed on a CD. We have tested these pdfs on desktop Macs and desktop PCs, and the links to the sound files work fine, but on a laptop the links to the sound files fail completely (ie usually nothing happens, though sometimes there is a message saying the computer is searching on the C drive for the files, instead of in the correct folder on the disk). The links to the video files do work though. Any ideas?

I have tried to embed the mp3 and mp4 files, but the place command will not recognise them (they are always greyed). The only way I have been able to make the sound files play is by linking to the files using a button, but the 'embed all' command on making a pdf doesn't seem to work with this.

Link in pdf-file does not work on Ipad

With my site www.bartkuijer.nl I offer visitors the free possibility to see (and download) sheetmusic, from music written by me. These are pdf-files. But they can not only SEE the sheetmusic; the music on that pdf-files can also be PLAYED. That's done bij clicking on a link in that pdf-file to a mp3-file of the music on my site.
This works fine on a pc. When I try this on the Ipad of my wife it DOES NOT WORK!
So my question is: how come? And what to do to make this work also fine on an Ipad.
This is important for me, because I want this sheetmusic to place as Ipad-apps for free.

It works!
But not with a pdf-file. The Ipad does not recognize links in a pdf-file.
Te solution is found by making a htm-file with emdedding a quicktime-player and images of the music. This is my first Ipad product. On a pc the player starts immediately; on the Ipad it has to be started.
Now I have to work on a solution to change this to an app

Links when using Templates don't work in preview

I have created a template for the 'traditional' top banner,
left navaigation buttons site. In preview mode, any links
(navigation area or not) that point to another page in the web site
do not work, but external links go. (No error is reported, but
nothing happends) However, when published, all links work. Any
ideas what is happening?
Eample link:
<a href="../catalog.htm" target="_self"><img
src="../_derived/catalog.htm_cmp_edge000_vbtn.gif" width="140"
height="34" border="0" alt="Catalog & Renewal"
/></a><br />
The graphic does appear for the link.
If it makes any difference, this is a convert FrontPage site
where I manually edited the html to import the pages into my first
Dreamweaver site.
Thanks in advance,
Carolyn Wood

> In preview mode, any links (navigation area or not) that

This is how DW will work if you are using ROOT RELATIVE
links, *and*
temporary files to preview.
Here's an example -
* I create a page with a link to an image -> <img
src="/images/foo.gif">
(note that the image link is a root relative link - the path
says to go to
the
root of the site and look for the images folder because of
the leading
slash)
<img src="/images/foo.gif" (that's root relative - it
starts with the root
of the site)
<img src="../images/foo.gif" (that's document relative -
it starts with the
current location of the document)
* I preview that page with DW (since I am using temp files,
DW is kind
enough to realize that root relative links won't work in a
preview, and so
it converts them to document relative links when it builds
the temporary
file for the preview) -> <img
src="../images/foo.gif"> (I'm assuming that
your document is one level below the root of the site). In
the preview,
this page looks fine because the browser has no trouble with
the document
relative link - it knows where the file it just opened is,
and can follow
the path to the image).
* I then click on a link in the previewed page to another
page that also has
ROOT relative linked images --> <img
src="/images/bar.gif"> and suddenly
the image does not load.
Why? Because when you click away from the temp file DW just
built for you,
you have lost the benefit of the automatic conversion that DW
does with
root relative links, and the browser looks for this new image
starting from
the root of the hard drive, not the root of your site.
The solution is to not use root relative links, and to change
all your
existing ones to document relative.
