Mac/Unix path differences causing linking problems?

At our organization, we have a single monster Xserve running Mac OS X 10.6.7 and Aqua Connect where up to 15 users log in concurrently with different UI sessions and work on pages using InDesign CS3 and CS5.
Each user mounts the same AFP sharepoints ("PageShare" for .indd files, and "ImageShare" for page resources) at the same time and they work on neighboring files.
Things have been (mostly) peachy for a year now.
Recently, we've been running into trouble linking images on pages.
The first user who connects has absolutely no trouble. But every subsequent user is unable to automatically link resources on pages.
Curiously, when we attempt to relink a resource, its path as shown in InDesign's Links pallete doesn't change. What was originally reported as a broken link is now considered legitimate.
We're fairly certain this is caused by a mixup between the Mac OS file path (ImageShare:Logos:logo.eps) vs. the UNIX file path (/Volumes/ImageShare/Logos/logo.eps). When multiple instances of a sharepoint are mounted at the same time, a "-#" is appended to the share's UNIX path. In this example case, /Volumes/ImageShare-1, /Volumes/ImageShare-2, etc.
But, the Mac OS file path does not change, even if multiple instances are mounted at the same time — the other users' shares are ignored. The share you have access to is always referenced by the system as "ImageShare".
So, there's a real miscommunication in InDesign between what style path to use and what path is actually displayed. Mucking around in a hex editor, it seems that InDesign includes both Mac OS and UNIX file paths in .indd files, but the Links pallete only displays Mac OS paths...
Is there a way to get InDesign to exclusively follow Mac OS paths which won't change from mount to mount, or is there a way to be more resilient in resolving link changes when the UNIX path has an appended number?
From all I've read and studied, it seems that the workflow we've been using and enjoying for the better part of a year (up to last Wednesday) is somehow impossible. I'm pretty sure it existed though...and I'd like to have it back.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

The Aqua Connect server is a small, yet important, part of our production (so yes, we're properly licensed).
Generally, pages worked on through our multiple-use server are then passed to others to work on. These other users operate individual workstations. A requirement of this workflow is that the Aqua Connect server use the same paths and links as our other users do. Our non-remote users are happily linking away without this issue, as is the initially-connected remote user.
The server was rebooted on Wednesday as we end up doing about once a week. No other changes were made (as far as I can tell, of course).
I've found that no matter what user mounts an AFP/SMB volume (even root), other users cannot access its contents. The Computer window in Finder shows each mounted instance of each sharepoint, but only one of each share for each user can actually be opened by that user. This has been the case since at least Leopard (if not earlier).

Difference of links path between Mac and Windows

We currently use an InDesign Server solution on Mac to generate our PDF. InDesign files are created on Mac and our InDesign server points to volumes where are stored links. On Mac, the path looks like this:
VOLUME:FOLDER_1:SUBFOLDER_1:SUBFOLDER_2:LINK_NAME.
We consider to migrate our InDesign server onto Windows. So I began some tests on a client version and the same InDesign file opened on Windows and whose links are stored in the same place opens with missing links as the path on Windows looks like this: volume_name\volume\FOLDER_1\SUBFOLDER_1\SUBFOLDER_2\LINK_NAME
So I have to relink manually, which is impossible in our workflow.
Does anyone know if we may encounter the same problem with a server version? If yes, do you know a script that automatically relink image files when InDesign files will be opened by InDesign Server?

I don't personally have much experience relinking across platforms. (We use Windows servers although I use Mac locally.) But, here's what info I can provide:
File paths in InDesign can be specified in 2 ways. One is platform-specific paths, and the second is URI notation. The URI notation is the same cross-platform, but even so, I imagine the volume names are different as well. Specifying the URIs in an InDesign file would prove to be challenging as well, although you can easily specify it in an IDML file.
Another avenue to explore would be to specify relative paths. By default InDesign writes absolute paths, but relative paths are supported. If I'm not mistaken, that's what the InDesign package functionality does.
Your best bet will probably be to run a script when the document loads on the machine for the first time and loop through all the links and change the paths to the correct location.

Link problem between PCs and Macs

Hello. We have 3 Macs running OSX 10.5.x and Adobe Std CS5, and they share their Illustrator creations, images, etc., on a NAS file server. Recently, I downloaded the CS5.5. trial version for a PC running Windows XP Pro and on the same network with same file access and security. All machines use CIFS to access files.
PC user will create an Illustrator file in one of these shared folders on the NAS and link in images from another shared folder on the NAS and save it. When a Mac user opens the Illustrator file, however, none of the links are valid so the Mac user has to re-link those images and re-save the file. What change(s) do I need to make on the PC-side to stop this problem? Does the PC need to be on CS5, too?

Thanks to both of you for your help. We found out that the PC and Mac show the absolute path slightly differently when connecting to our NAS. However, if we create an ai file with linked images on the PC, save it, and then open it in the Mac, even though the links are off we can fix all of them if we simply re-link one image and then "Ignore" the rest of the pop-up error messages. There are less (or no) link issues if the images are in the same folder as the ai file, but that kind of defeats the advantage of linking over embedding. We need to have one central images folder since the same image can be used many times over. Is there any way to force Illustrator to use relative paths instead of absolut paths? For example, if I have a share name "Sales" and three folder within: "Images", "ABC company" and "DEF company", can the ai files I create in ABC company contain links like, "..\Images\image01.eps" instead of something like \\NAS2\Sales\Images\image01.eps? Would be nice if Adobe Illustrator had a preference setting of something like "Default location of ai files" where I can set it to, \\NAS2\Sales\, and then any documents I create would use that setting as a link starting point.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Reset the System Management Controller.
3. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
4. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
5. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
6. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
7. If none of the above applies, or if you have good reason to think your computer is being controlled remotely, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi, disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop immediately, you should suspect an intrusion.

Don't know if this went through the first time. Cannon printer would not print black. bought a new Epson-800. Same problem. Can it be something in my Mac causing the problem. It's only the black that is not working.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Image Link Problems in Illustrator CS3

Am running on Mac OS 10.4.11. Mac is a Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5. File server is an IBM x3650, running FullPress Software and Xinet and Flashnet.
When saving files in Illustrator CS3 with preserved image links to hi-res images on the server, other users who later open that ai file, have to manually relink to images on the server. If the file is opened on the Mac that created it, images link automatically when opened again. The problem is that other Macs do not see the links/paths to the images.
It is frustrating and time-consuming. The problem seems to be isolated to just 2 specific Macs. One with the spec as above, and the other is a 2x2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, running on the same Mac OS.
All software installs are same on all macs in my studio.
The overall problem is : 17 Macs. 15 of these can open files created on each others Macs without issue. However, if files were created on the 2 "problem Macs", link issues arise. The 2 problem Macs have link issues with ANY other mac when opening files saved on any other Mac.
Sorry for long winded nature of this, but can anyone help? Have tried all sorts and have run out of ideas on this. URGENT help needed! Thanks.

Thanks Ian and Jim.
Have solved the mystery.
Opened files in Text edit, and the links defined section, did show ghosted volumes on problem macs.
So, went to desktop > From the Go menu, select Go to Folder >then entered "/volumes"
This brought up the volumes and highlighted some anomalies. Folders appearing with same name as my server, meaning when the server mounted it added a suffix of -1, -2 etc.
MANY THANKS Gentleman.

New desktop has wrong path for page links in nav bar

I created a new desktop and have the following problem. The image links to portal
pages in the horizontal nav bar in the top have wrong path.
Example.
In the original portal the home page link in the nav bar has a image associated
with it in workshop.
\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
The partial url generated for the image looks liek this:
\mywebapp\\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif.
I created a new desktop everything works fine except for the images. The href's
are created for the links but the image path is wrong.
the url generated is : \mywebapp\appmanager\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
The "appmanager" in the path causes the problem.
Is this a bug?

Hi Subbu,
I used workshop page properties to associate the image to the page.
framework/skins/classic/images/home.gif

Re: Fwd: Link Problems With Borland C++ 4.52

I have seen this problem before in another context, and I'll offer the
cause and solution in the hope that they will apply to the Crystal problem.
Many Windows based applications rely on PASCAL calling conventions, which
change the way parameters are handled in function/method calls. They
indicate this by placing one of the following immediately before the
function name in the prototype declarations:
- pascal_far (or something like that)
- WINAPI
- some other typedef of either of the above
For example:
int WINAPI AddTotal(int valueA, int valueB);
Unfortunately, v2.0 of Forte does not provide any mechanisms for changing
the calling conventions of the prototypes in the generated C++ wrapper
library, so when you compile that code, the linker fails. I think that the
compiler may generate different symbols depending on calling conventions,
so that's why it fails.
To fix this, don't autocompile your code, but generate the distribution, go
into the generated C++ files and look for the function prototypes (I think
you can search for FORTE_NO_PROTOTYPES), add WINAPI to the appropriate
places in the prototype definitions (see above) and use fcompile to build
the library. Instructions for fcompile are in the Interfacing With
External Systems manual.
Hope this helps,
James

James,
Thanks for your quick response. Yesterday we had been running down
the path of examining the calling conventions and trying to change them
to PASCAL, but without much success. After receiving your note, we
went back over it again, and this time we were able to finally to piece it
together. In addition to editing the Forte-generated .cc file to declare
the functions as PASCAL, we also had to turn off the compiler's case
sensitivity. (The Crystal .lib file had the function names in mixed case,
but the Borland compiler was generating all uppercase for the names.)
Now I had actually tried this yesterday and it didn't work (in fact it
generated a whole bunch of new errors) - because until we took a
second look at it today, I didn't realize that Borland's linker actually has
TWO flags that control case sensitivity. If you only turn one or the
other off, things can get pretty ugly looking. As soon as we turned
both of them off, the compile and link went beautifully. Again, thanks
for your help; hopefully we are over the worst of it now!
Dale

Can MDAC installation cause navigation problems within the portal?

Hello,
I have a client who having problems loading page links in our second level navigation. Evertime time she clicks on node to expand the tree of links, she gets a "loading" message. I see this all the time but this message doesn't go away. She also gets a javascript error on the page stating it cannot find the specify module. She notice the problem around the time of her MDAC file installation. Do anyone know if this can cause a problem for navigation on the portal?
Thank you,
Francis

You made this bed by over complicating your site. Simple solution, take your pages out of sub-folders. Nobody but you cares about the .html extensions. IMO, it's a very poor reason for using sub-folders.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7c44a.h tml
Presently, you must be using document relative link paths. Either switch to Site Root Relative links which will likely work on your remote server but fail to test locally. Or use absolute URLs (http://). The downside with this is that DW won't be able to manage links for you.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /lib (MAC/Unix)

Ok....newbie to JNI here. I know there are quite a few posts like this here..but everyone seems to be on XP/Vista, nothing for MAC/Unix
This is my problem:
I have just created a small bit of code to test the JNI and it fails rather miserably with an unhelpful UnsatisfiedLinkError message. So onto the code and my observations:
This is my HelloJNI.java
class HelloJNI {
    private native static void print();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     print();
    static {System.out.println ( System.getProperty( "java.library.path" ) );System.loadLibrary("HelloJNI");System.out.println("Done");}
}Compiled successfully to HelloJNI.class
This is my HelloJNI.h header file as generated by javah -jni HelloJNI
/* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
#include <jni.h>
/* Header for class HelloJNI */
#ifndef _Included_HelloJNI
#define _Included_HelloJNI
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
* Class:     HelloJNI
* Method:    print
* Signature: ()V
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_HelloJNI_print
(JNIEnv *, jclass);
#ifdef __cplusplus
#endif
#endifHere is the HelloJNI.cpp file:
#include "HelloJNI.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_HelloJNI_print (JNIEnv *, jclass) {
cout<<"Aye hello from JNI";
}Now I have gone about this several ways....but in general the correct way to go about compiling this seems to have been to generate a .o file and then generate a file named libHelloJNI.jnilib. For all you doubters out there, this is the CORRECT name of the file, MAC OSX expects a library with the lib prefix and the .jnilib suffix. I can prove this to you in a second...but even the official technical notes I have come across on the web have told me that I need this special name on OSX in order for java to find my library. But this command works successfully:
g++ -O3 -DNDEBUG -feliminate-unused-debug-symbols -fPIC -dynamiclib -o libHelloJNI.jnilib -I\/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Headers HelloJNI.cpp
When I next run "java HelloJNI" I get this:
.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/javaException in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /libHelloJNI.jnilib:
     at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1822)
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1739)
     at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:823)
     at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1030)
     at HelloJNI.<clinit>(HelloJNI.java:6)HOWEVER this does NOT mean it hasn't found the file...because if I delete the libHelloJNI.jnilib from the root directory and run "java HelloJNI" I get this:
.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/javaException in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no HelloJNI in java.library.path
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1753)
     at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:823)
     at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1030)
     at HelloJNI.<clinit>(HelloJNI.java:6)So, this is kinda proof that my library file needs to be called libHelloJNI.jnilib, as the error message seems to change when it is present. FYI yes I am running this from the root of my drive, and I also have a file called libHelloJNI.so in the same directory, which java could seem to care less about.
Any help would be great, this is a very frustrating problem.

Keep in mind that they are not using the same VM either. Nor is the VM from the same vendor.
So the rules for what is required exactly will be different.
loadLibrary() is intended to provide a generic mechanism to load a "shared library" across different platforms.
The exact naming of the shared libraries is expected to be different.
It might help, if you can't find other sources, to skip JNI and investigate how to create shared libraries
which are accessible via C/C++ code. The rules that define that will be the same as those
used by the VM. Once you understand those rules understanding what your VM needs
will be easier.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

It sounds like your computer may be infected with some sort of a virus / Malware.
I suggest the following resources:
[[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware |Is my Firefox problem a Result of Malware]] is a Mozilla Support article with some good tips on avoiding and fighting malware.
To double check your system is clean, do the following (Not official Mozilla advice, just good practice from personal experience)
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
Double check for all Windows Updates.
Also, I noticed you have the coupon printer installed. I would go to Start, Control Panel, then programs and features and uninstall the coupon Printer from inside there. It can cause some problems with Firefox.
If you are still having problems with Malware after that, I would recommend either [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/], or having your computer cleaned by a professional.
