Mac Help file and OSX 10.4.5

HI all and Help if you can, please.
I was prompted by my power PC IMac G5 to upgrade the OS to 10.4.5 which I did by clicking on the link in the window. All seems fine except now I can't open any of my Mac Help topics in the Help window. The window opens as a blank. All the other Help files seem fine. I tried "Chat" with the IMac help team and after finally getting someone to come on line, he suggested I " delete the releated preference files for help", but never told me how to do that so I don't know if it will work or not. Can anyone out there give me an idea of how to get my Mac Help to work? Thanks to all.

Hi Mac User,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!

On your friend's computer with an internet connection, log into the Mac App Store with your ID and download Yosemite from the Purchases section of the Mac App Store. The make a bootable USB install media using

Then boot from that on your computer and install
You need an internet connection to install via Recovery mode

Problem with Virtual Hosts Individual Config Files and OSX 10.7 Lion (AllowOverride Setting)

I am hoping some other Xserve users running OSX 10.7 (Lion) can offer some additional input or help in a couple of issues I am running into with the Apache settings on my server.
Below is an example site config file on our server. We are hosting a number of sites and are using .htaccess files and apache's rewrite module to create vanity URLs. In order for the .htaccess files to be used AllowOverride has to be set to "All" instead of "None"
The problem I am running into is everytime I stop and restart the web service on the machine it keeps changing this setting back in the individual site configuration files. I will change it to AllowOverride All and next time the server has to be restarted or the web service has to be restarted it is defaulting every site back to None which has become quite frustrating.
Is there somewhere I can set this default setting to prevent this from occuring and forcing every site and site config to default to "AllowOverride All" ?
Should I be researching this somewhere specific? OSX 10.7 changed the entire Apache Interface and the manner in which it runs and I am finding little to no documentation on it.

Are you using the default Server.app, or have you downloaded and installed the (proper) Server Admin tools?
Server Admin.app isn't included as part of the Lion Server distribution, but if you download it and install it you get the same set of admin tools as you're used to with previous versions. From there you should be able to set the 'Allow All Overrides' setting for your site.

Mac Help appears and disappers before I can locate it

hello,
Each time I click mac help under finder the help window appears and before I can do anything it disappears. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Also, Is there a way to customize the icons that are located on the dock?
thanks,
kate

Hi Again Kate!
To customize the Dock icons, I think you would have to change the icon of the application, Utility, or Folder, that the Dock alias points to.
Mac OS X: How to Use Custom Icons
Once you have done that, pull the old icon off of the Dock, if it hasn't changed, and reinsert the new custom one.

CHM help file and java

is there any way to open a chm help file using java (so that the help viewer starts up)? this program will probably display a chm if it's running on a windows machine and in html if not

Useing RunTime Class in Java you can opern the CHM help file using the hh.exe
The hh.exe will be present in the windows directory.
See if this helps.

Anymore Infromation on DI Server available besides help file and sample

Hi everyone
I just wanted to know if there is any extra documents, e-learning for the DI Server. I've already looked at all the new sdk e-learning, i don't see one for the DI-Server. I have the one sample, is there not anymore??? I also have the help file. Is there any additional documentation that can be found???
Thanks in advance

Hi Louis,
We have done the search and could also not find much, but eventually got it up and running by using the documentation and trial and error. Maybe it will help asking specific questions here rather than asking in general.
Hope it helps,
Adele

HELP: Files and Applications are being deleted of my mac

Hi guys,
So yesterday I was listening to music in iTunes and suddenly all thee songs, bar 17, had an exclamation mark next to them. I went to folder to locate them and every single file had gone. The folders were there but no .mp3. Then a whole load of my software disappeared too.
I ran disk utility and there were so block errors so I ran disk recovery and repaired it, which worked fine. The files didn't return but the disk utility came back OK.
I kept an eye on the amount of storage being used and it started to decrease. So I've turned the MacBook off but I'm not sure what to do. I need to use my laptop but don't want to lose everything.
I'm assuming it is malware of some kind that is going through and remotely deleting all of my files. Please can someone help me, this is a disaster.
I'm running a 1TB, 8gb, MacBook Pro mid-2012 (one of the last ones to be sold before full replacement with retina). It is just over a year old and has never been dropped.
Thank you.

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Where do I find the "On My Mac" mailbox files and can I Sync them across computers?

I want to find out if I can sync them across computers and have the files show up on my desktop and my notebook.

Here's where mine seem to be:
Macintosh HD > Users > (MyName) > Library > Mail > V2 > Mailboxes > (etc.)
Not sure if yours are there. I haven't tried syncing them between computers with a program such as Chronosync but it may work.
Maybe this helps.

How to backup Mac server files and restore to Windows server?

Our company is moving from Mac Server to Windows Server 2008 R2.
I'd like to connect a hard drive to the Mac server (via existing eSATA) and backup our data (just file level backup is fine, don't need permissions or security) and then move hard drive to new Windows 2008 R2 server and restore files.
Does anyone have any cross-platform backup/restore software they can recommend?
We have about 500GB of data, so I prefer a locally connected device to backup to instead of over-the-network backup.
Thank you for your ideas!

As standard the Mac cannot write to NTFS format disks, and as standard Windows cannot read from HFS+ disks. FAT32 might be a possibility but it does not support files bigger than 4GB.
The simplest if slower option is to do it over the network using SMB. If you do really want to do it with a hard disk then you may need to consider getting some software to let either Mac or Windows deal with the others preferred hard disk format.
To let the Mac write to NTFS there are several choices but the one I have used in the past is NTFS for Mac by Paragon, see http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
To let Windows read from HFS again the are multiple possible choices but the one I have used in the past and still use is MacDrive, see http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive

Issues accessing Office for Mac 2011 files and sluggish or no response when in programs after Yosemite installation.

I need to use Excel daily - ever since I upgraded both to Yosemite and updated Office 2011 to the most current version, I have had issues opening documents. When I go to open a file from Excel (or Word, or PP), the response is unbelievably sluggish - 30 seconds to minutes when moving the cursor down 1 or 2 files to select. If I am lucky enough to get to the file, the performance within Excel is painfully slow (30 seconds + to move the cursor 1 cell). I can quickly open files from Finder directly, but still have the same performance issues within Excel. I have: 1) reinstalled the latest Office Update, 2) uninstalled and reinstalled Office, performed disk repair (using Disk Utility), cleaned the cache. All to no avail. I have performed full system virus scans (no issues). I have a 13" MacBook Pro (purchased July of 2013). I need help - I am unable to do my job. Any one else experiencing similar issues? Found a solution?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Download and re-install the 10.10.1 update.

Slow to connect to Mac share - file and screen

I have a few Macs on a network, with wired and wireless connections. I'm finding that I can connect to some of the machines quite quickly - from time that I click on the machine in the Shared area of the sidebar to when I see disks appear, or from when I click on screen sharing to something appearing, is fast. This is true for a PowerPC Mini running 10.5.x - takes 1 second for disks to appear.
At the same time, I have a MacBook Pro, 2.8 GHz, running 10.6.6, where it takes as much as 15 seconds for disks to appear or screen sharing to start. This happens with wired or wireless connections to the machine - I can be wired through a gigabit switch between that machine and another fast machine and still takes 10-15 seconds. This has been occurring for some time, and was present before and after the 10.6.6 patch.
Once I am copying data between machines, things seem to run quickly. So it seems mostly to be at the initial connection. If I go to sleep on a machine that is already connected to this MBP, wake up, then click on the MBP again, even though have mounted shares it still took 15 seconds to re-display the shares.
Any idea how I might diagnose and fix this?
Thanks,
Alex

There is no external drive on this machine - and I verified that the disk is awake. Not the issue.
The wired test was done between Macs on the same gigabit ether switch.
Another clue - I've found that when playing Starcraft 2 on this machine, this machine is the last to load vs others in multiplayer. I'm playing side by side with another machine on an older MacBook Pro, slightly slower, and that one always loads faster.

How do I generate a Word document and a PDF from Help files?

Hi,
I am new to RoboHelp HTML, and am using version 8. I updated some Help files, and now I want to generate output. Here are my questions/ or the process I used:
To compile the help, I clicked Generate Primary Layout. Is this correct? I noticed that the date stamp on the xpj file has not changed. The date is still from many months ago. (Why is that? Should it show a recent update date?) However, the files that I updated do reflect the dates when I made the updates. These include art files, an hhp, and htm, js, ldb, pss, cpd files.
To generate a pdf, I clicked Generate PDF. I was not able to generate the PDF at first, but then, I enabled macros in Word 2007 (Trust Center Settings > Enable all macros...and clicked the checkbox, Trust access to the VBA project object model), and clicked Generate PDF. At the end of the generation, I got this error in Word: Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. The info you were working on might be lost. Word can try to recover it for you. I closed the dialog and Word generated several blank documents. Microsoft Office Diagnostics was run and found one problem and corrected it. Despite the error message, a pdf was generated. (If you could give me any insight on why I got the error messages, that could be helpful to know).
How do I generate a Word document?
Thank you!
Erin

Welcome to our community
Note that RoboHelp is capable of creating a variety of layouts. WebHelp, FlashHelp, AIR Help, Microsoft HTML Help, JavaHelp, Oracle Help, ePub and more.
Any of these layouts may be nominated as the Primary layout. So when you generate the Primary layout, you get whatever has been configured as the Primary layout.
Only certain actions will result in a change to the .XPJ file. The actions are indicative of major changes to the project. So I wouldn't fret the fact that the date time stamp wasn't updated.
Indeed the Printed Documentation Single Source Layout recipe is what you use to create PDF. Generally what happens is that RoboHelp creates a Microsoft Word document as an intermediate file type, then creates the PDF from that. As you might imagine, there are a host of things that can go wrong during the process. I might suggest that you first get a Word document to generate cleanly. Then once you do that, focus on PDF. I know that I typically gen a Word document and stop there. I just open Word and use Word to create the PDF.
If you look at the properties for the Printed Documentation Single Source Layout recipe (View > Pods > Single Source Layouts then right-click the Printed Documentation layout and choose Properties) you will see that PDF, Word or both are options at the top of the dialog.
Hopefully that gives you a nudge in the right direction.

HTML Responsive Layout for tablet and phone is not showing icons correct on a converted help file

I am using the Responsive HTML Layout in RoboHelp 11. On all of my new help files, the layout works great and my icons are showing appropriately. On all of my old help files that were converted, my icons do not fit within bar for the tablet and phone. I am using the Government Theme (Theme2_Government), but modified the file to have our colors and logos. I exported the .slz file and I am using the same slz file in all of the help files. The only help files that are cutting off the icons are the help files that were converted from previous version of RoboHelp. Any idea why this would happen?

This is from the converted file showing the icons that are cut off in the blue bar.
This one is from a new help file and the icons fit within the blue bar.
The same thing happens the phone layout with the bar at the bottom.
