No Art Broken Links in Store

7.6.1 shows broken links on iTunes store and does not show artwork in any mode including visualizer. Oddly enough all the artwork show up just fine in Front Row. Tried reinstalling iTunes (no success). Tried running the combo 10.5.2 updater over 10.5.2 install but for the first time (with a combo updater) it says that I can't use it on this system!
Any suggestions?

Broken link icons appearing instead of artwork in iTunes store

Hi,
For some odd reason, I see "broken link" icons, which look like a chain made up of three links, with the center link broken, instead of music album artwork in iTunes store.
Initially I see the album artwork, but then they begin to get replaced by the odd looking "broken link" icons ! quite strange.... this began happening after I upgraded to OSX 10.5.6, but I am not sure this is the main reason I'm having this issue, I tested some macs at the Apple store, which were running 10.5.6. to access the iTunes store, and this problem did not appear, so it might be something else on my Mac Pro that is causing this odd behavior.
Any other Mac users encountering the "broken link" icon when visiting the iTunes store ? Any clues ? or ways to solve this ? what could be causing this ? Any help/feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The Cooks,
Have you installed Quicktime 7.1.5 update?

ITunes Music Store broken links everywhere

I recently had to install a new hard drive. Everything went very smooth. I went to the iTune Store and downloaded a couple of songs, no problem. Then I remember I had not ran updates, ran the updates. I restarted and went back to iTune Store and there are broken links everywhere. No images, just broken links. I never head of this or seen it. I went to the Apple store and ask someone at the Genius Bar and they pulled someone from the back and they have no clue. So if anyone out there has seen it and has fixed the problem, please pass it on. Thanks.

I simply assumed it was on Apple's side. I think they are receiving more traffic than they had anticipated. The song "new soul" from the MacBook Air have gone through the roof. And I must admit that after watching the keynote at MacWorld I wanted to rent Transformers right away and watch it with the kids! I think they are simply being bombarded. At least that is what I think, only time will tell.

Help! Just copied iTunes media to second external drive and now have broken links in the original drive??

Hi everyone
I wonder if anyone can offer me some advice to rectify the problems I'm experiencing in my itunes?
I have been saving my media to an external hard drive since rebuilding my itunes collection, while keeping the library on the hard drive of my MBP. This was working well with no problems but as my media reached 300GB on my external I thought I would copy it to another external hard drive as back up, and after that I decided to also make a copy of my library data to the same second external drive so I would have a full back up of itunes in case of failure of my main hard drive...
So after copying my media from my first external drive to the second, and then copying the library data from my MBP hard drive it seems the copy of my media and the copied library are working fine on my second external hard drive, but now when I open the first external drive where I originally was saving my media files I am suffering quite a lot of broken links???...I followed the copy process as I have done in the past although I did not tick the check box for renaming and moving my media as it was about to be copied,and I thought that was correct as I used the consolidate function to copy it..
Been trying to figure out how to rectify the problem tonight and am getting nowhere fast. Can anyone offer suggestions as to how I can sort the issue on my original external hard drive as it's the one I prefer to store my media on and it was functioning perfectly before?? from having a tidy and clearly functioning itunes I now have a mass of problems....
I hope this is clear to someone.....as I was hoping to have it fixed in readiness for a new MBP...am I missing something obvious?

OK, this should sort you out...
Move the following files and folders from /Volumes/Backup/iTunes up to /Volumes/Backup/
Album Artwork (folder)
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.xml
sentinel (hidden)
Launch iTunes. It should warn that the library is missing. Browse to the file /Volumes/Backup/iTunes Library.itl and open it.
Go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and change the media folder location to /Volumes/Backup/Music. Let iTunes consolidate files if it asks, if not use File > Library > Organize Library... Tick Consolidate files and click OK.
Close iTunes. Rename /Volumes/Backup/Music as /Volumes/Backup/iTunes Media. Start iTunes.
Go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, check that the media folder location now reads /Volumes/Backup/iTunes Media. If necessary, change and then close and reopen iTunes.
Go to File > Library Organize Library... and, if not greyed out, tick Rearrange files in the folder iTunes Media, then click OK.
Delete /Volumes/Backup/iTunes/iTunes Media which now contains redundant copies.
Move the following files and folders from /Volumes/Backup/ into /Volumes/Backup/iTunes
Album Artwork (folder)
iTunes Media (folder)
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.xml
sentinel (hidden)
Launch iTunes. It should warn that the library is missing. Browse to the file /Volumes/Backup/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl and open it.
Go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, check that the media folder location now reads /Volumes/Backup/iTunes/iTunes Media. If necessary, change and then close and reopen iTunes.
Each time you change something and start iTunes just check that a track will play. If not, close iTunes and undo your last action.
That should be it. You can clone this iTunes folder to any other drive and the clone is a functioning copy of your library.

How do I restore files from TM backups with broken links?

I have Time Machine backups with broken links all over the more recent backups.
I get the message "The alias “xxx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." whenever I click on one of the links.
I have made the backups on my external usb backup drive before before upgrading my internal disk to a larger one.
Two questions: 1) How can I recover the files? 2) What happened, how can I repair the backup if possible?
The sequence of events was: Made the latest backup. Apple ran extended diagnostics overnight at the store and did a reinstall of the OS (10.8.2). I passed on restoring the backup and went to an authorized service center and had them put in a new tera-byte drive. I deleted (in the star-wars display) the oldest two and a middle backup leaving the Aug, Oct, and latest Nov. backups.
Now I see 100's 1000's of bad links. If I look at the backup (just look) with finder I can see directories for July and Sept in addition to the ones I didn't delete.
It appears that the files are probably all there and I could recover them a few at a time if I poke around.
I am tempted to do this before trying to repair the disk. Yes, it will take me ages; but I would rather take the time than a chance at doing -Anything- that could even possibly make things worst. I can see 3 senarios and wonder if anyone can say what would be best. And by best I mean **Safest**.
1) Go in TM to the Aug backup that seems to have no (or maybe only a few) broken links and restore that; then move in TM to newer backups and restore one folder or file at a time on top of it.
2) Do the same thing with a restore of Aug but then use the finder to copy newer files from the backup disk to the new disk.
3) Do essentially the same thing; but do it all in finder.
Of course that still begs the question of what happened and if the backup can be repaired; but to me, that is secondary to getting the data back.
fyi- I have looked at the TM hints and debug-repair file. I realize I can try a repair disk but I am tempted to try to get the data 1st unless someone is Sure a repair won't mung the data more.
Thanks

HT4623 I now have broken links to apps after 7.1.1 update.

I upgraded my ipad3 to 7.1.1 starting ota but had to finish through itunes. I now have broken links to apps all over the place that just say waiting. I can open them successfully through the app store but the link stays broken in the folder. Fix?

One artist yields a continuous broken link from my External

I store my music on an external hard drive, and import them into iTunes.
However, one artist continues to be a pain by importing in, playing perfectly, then the next day displays broken links.
I do not have the original cd, but the mp3s remain intact on my hard drive.
Here are my guesses.
1. The artist is Sigur Ros, and the band, album, and song titles all have odd icelandic characters. I know this should not matter, but it's just a guess.
2. There is some odd link to a different location on my laptop that continues to break the link.
I have done everything that I'm aware of to fix this but alas...
Any thoughts let me hear from you!
Thanks.
Mike

Welcome to AD!
Don't know what version of iTunes you're using, but I also had problems with files that had special characters like Sigur Rós, Róisín Murphy, etc until I turned off the advanced preference to let iTunes organize my files. This was back in itunes 6 or 7, and I haven't turned it back on since.
The files are actually named Sigur Ros, Roisin Murphy, etc on my hard drive. It's the MP3 tags that have the special characters. iTunes kept losing them randomly. Since I've turned off that preference, they have peacwfully stayed linked in my library.

Fix a broken link

Hi
Can anyone help?
I have created a drop down menu in fireworks some time ago
for a client and no longer have the original png file. I need to
fix a broken link in a drop down menu on the site
www.eversfield.co.uk
Under curriculum and dance - this takes you to the drama site
by mistake.
I have changed the link in the associated HTML coding but
this appears to have made absolutely no difference to where the
link navigates to.
Anyone provide any thoughts?

Graham, after a quick inspection of the code, I notice that
page points to
/curriculium_drama.html, is there a /curriculium_dance.html
page?

Relinking broken links with JSX

Okay,
Say I have a series of folders and I have linked art and the files they are linked to all mixed up in these folders. My file structure is as such;
myFiles\HH01000-01999\HH01000-HH01099\HH001001.PDF
and now I need to change the file structure to this;
myFiles\HH\HH01000-01999\HH01000-HH01099\HH001001.PDF
adding the folder HH breaks the links.
What is the best way to identify the broken link and change its path with JSX? Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks Carlos,
this is how i ended up getting it done.
function changeLinkedArt () {
    linkedPath = app.activeDocument.placedItems;
    outcome = 0;
for(i=0; i < linkedPath.length; i++) {
    linkedPathArray = linkedPath[i].file.path.split("/");
    for(j=0; j < linkedPathArray.length; j++) {
        if(linkedPathArray[j] === "HH") {
            outcome = 1;
    if (outcome === 0) {
        fileName = linkedPath[i].file.toString();
        linkedFileArray = fileName.split("/");
        for(k=0; k < linkedFileArray.length; k++) {
            if(linkedFileArray[k] === "illustrations") {
                linkedFileArray[k] = linkedFileArray[k] + "/HH";
                NewIndexLine = linkedFileArray.join("/");
                //alert(NewIndexLine);
                linkedPath[i].file=File(NewIndexLine);
    outcome = 0;
modified an adobe script to open all files in a folder and run the script on all of them.
wanted to build some arrays to change all files in multiple folders but i could not get the ".getFiles( fileType );" to take a path instead of the Folder.selectDialog.
thats the only thing that bugs me.

How can we remove podcasts with broken links?

The organization I work for has some old podcasts (2011) listed in iTunes; the links to all the MP3s are broken. No one in the organization has any idea who posted these items in the first place, so needless to say, we have no idea what account they're linked to. We'd just like for those podcasts to stop appearing in iTunes -- is there a way to flag the broken links so the podcasts don't show up any more?
Thanks in advance.

The feed for that is still up at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/RichardRohrHomilies
Ideally you should remove it, which would ensure it being removed from the Store (a cached version would show until they removed it) - however you will need the login to Feedburner to do this, which presumably you don't have. In that case you can only hope that the fact that none of the media files can be accessed will be sufficient.

So many Partial Albums are broken links?

I just browsed the iTunes Store today. I found plenty of "Partial Albums" that happen to be broken links. You click on the link and the iTunes Store gives an error message: *Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not available.*
I'm not talking about only 2 or 3 random albums here. I'm willing to list a dozen examples here if Apple wishes me to do so, in order to track down the "broken links" so that they can fix it. This just happens to be the first time that I noticed this problem is so widespread.

The best way to report this issue is to contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the link at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page and let them know which albums you've discovered to be experiencing this problem.
Regards.

Remove broken links in RH 7.0.2

I'm working on a project where the Help covers two different releases of a plug-in Adapter. I thought I was going to have to have two different sets of files for one section of the product for release 4 and release 5, so I copied the existing folder and had "feature" and "feature4" folders. Then, as it turned out, there weren't that many differences, so I deleted the "feature4" fodler. I deleted the files and folder from within RoboHelp, so I assumed that if there had been any problems, I would have received a warning. Apparently I was wrong. =(
Now I have Broken Links that refer to that deleted "feature4" folder. I do NOT want to restore those files, because I don't need them. I've checked all the hyperlinks in the topics in the "feature" folder and in the generated output, and they all seem to work.
So, my question is, what file does RoboHelp use to store hyperlinks? Is there any way to go in and hack the code to remove broken links to files that you have deleted and don't want to restore?

Well that only took me three hours. I had four broken links to repair. At one point I had one fixed and then it came back. *shakes fist at sky*
Can I just say that the Broken Links feature is remarkably unhelpful and non-intuitive?
For anyone else who is here searching for answers, here's what I did. (because "go in and fix it manually" is remarkably UNhelpful if you don't know what you're looking for)
Under the Broken Links folder, double-click the broken link reference.
In the Topic References dialog, click one of the references, then click Edit. The topic will open.
Click the HTML tab so you're looking at the code view.
In the toolbar, go to Edit > Find.
Search for links within the HTML code (I used part of the HTML code for a link, "href" as my search term).
When you find the link code that matches what is shown in the Broken Links view, fix the link (edit the code, or place your cursor in the link then click the Design tab, then remove/replace the hyperlink).
Two of my links required me to search the code as described above. I searched the code view and located the references to the "feature4" folder and deleted or corrected them. The other two were links to deleted or renamed files, so I clicked Restore in the Topic References dialog box, recreated the files, then deleted the recreated files. That seemed to fix those links.
Oy, now to get some actual work done today!

Iweb publishing - broken links

When trying to publish my website, a few images show broken links. Then I get an error message: "there was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again or check with your service provider". I did, and they find everything ok from their part. They suggested it was probably a code problem. The strange thing is that some files (images and web pages) are uploaded, but not all. Any idea what I can do about it? Many thanks, BC

Are you using the iWeb FTP or another application?
The iWeb FTP is kind of fussy about files names.
A good FTP app will give you a list of the names of problem files to save you time searching blindly for them. I use Yummy FTP and they now have a Lite version which only costs $1.99 from the app store...

The broken link error

Hi,
Please help me with this broken link error in Office Excel 2010. Thank you.
The problem is: a broken link cannot be removed from the file. The link was used in data validation, which refers to a list of values. After the path was corrected, it still shows there’s a broken link. Here are the details:
I have 4 files named “000TVA_Test – 3”, “000TVA_Test – 4”, “000TVA_Test – 5”, and “000TVA_Test – 6”. The posterior files were developed based on the previous files.
In Test-3, sheet “Template “, cell “L4”, “O4”, “R4”… were built as dropdown list using data validation. The list source is in the “Library” worksheet. There’s no problem so far.
Test-4 was firstly copied from Test-3. In this file I renamed the worksheet from “Library” to “Setting” and the link was broken from here. I can also fix the broken link in this file. (While I didn’t realize there was a broken link.)
In Test-5 I fixed the path, but every time when opening the file, the broken link still shows.
In Test-6 I’ve removed the data validations. The broken link is still there.
I tried to find solutions online. I tried common methods, cannot find anything in the files is still using links. I also tried the “findlink.xla” add-in, but it only worked for Test-4, and couldn’t find the link in other files.
Please help. Thank you!
I uploaded files here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=1A97736E0ABBAA41!113&authkey=!AF5wAd9rwUPnYyE&ithint=folder%2cxlsm
Thanks again!

Hi,
Based on my tested the files downloaded, I found that Test-5 & Test-6 included the "A defined name that refers to an external workbook", Test-4 had not. (Please click Formula Tab>Name Manage, you'll see them.)
However, the Break Links command cannot break the following types of links:
A defined name that refers to an external workbook
A ListBox control with an input range that refers to an external workbook.
A DropDown control with an input range that refers to an external workbook.
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/291984/en-us (It also applies to Excel 2010)
Thus, we'd better try the workaround： re-build the Test-5 & Test 6.
