No 'Show Link Info' icon in Links Panel Illustrator CS6

Hi,
I've read all the help online to find link info on Illustrator CS6 and it points to an arrow at the bottom of the Links panel, however I can't see any arrow so I can't expand the panel and see any link detail. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Thanks Monika,
Someone might want to update this help page then:
Illustrator Help | Links information
At the start is says "This feature is available in Adobe Illustrator CS6, CC, and later.....".

Linking and updating between photoshop and illustrator cs6

Im having trouble with linking my files from photoshop to illustrator on a mac.
Im using CS6 and it used to work fine, I'm not sure if I disabled a option somewhere but now It doesn't update the files when I make changes.
For example if I'm making a change in photoshop and saving it, It should ask me to update in illustrator but it doesn't

@SP/RAA
Jean posted perhaps the best solution for your problem.
A template is an Illustrator document for startup. You can create a document...place all the colors you want to the Swatches panel....insert contents to symbol, brushes, graphic styles and so on. Then you can go File > Save as Template.
Now...when you want to start a new document..you could File > New from Template. Then new document will have all the stuffs of the template, including other specifications like rulers viewed...guides...
But even using template you cannot update a batch of documents...The template is only a document for start...and it does not keep linked to new documents based on it.
Or you try via script (do not know how further it would help) or try the alternative given by Jean.

Hi Saranya,
From your description, you need to create your own custom multi-value refinement panel and add Show more/fewer function:

TS1702 iPad is not responding. It ONLY shows an iTunes icon and a USB cable in the middle of an all black screen. Have tried to reset it (not responsive), link to iTunes (not recognized), etc.

iPad is not responding. It ONLY shows an iTunes icon and a USB cable in the middle of an all black screen. I have tried to reset it manually and via iTunes (not responsive), linked it to iTunes (not recognized), etc. Nothing works. This happened after an iTunes updated, after I was asked to "restore" my iPad to factory settings.

Thanks, King_Penguin. Yes, I tryied putting the iPad into recovery mode. It freezes in the black screen with the iTunes and USB cable. When I followed the instructions and then started iTunes, I received the following message: "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-424040)".
I have unistalled iTunes three times already and donloaded and installed three new versions. No luck.
Thanks a billion once again!

Script to rename Link Info Names

I'm working on converting a clients old catalog from Quark to Indesign. I'm using Indesign CS4 on Windows Vista. I've used Markzware Q2ID to convert the catalog to indesign with out too many problems. But I have run into a big problems with the images. They will not automatically relink. After digging around I've found the problem. For some reason all of the Image names also include the path structure.
For Example
Link Info
Name: BDA-12:Users:graeme:Desktop:FSIP back up:_Collected:02405 FSIP AftMkt EAST:Pictures:M587524.EPS
Path: BDA-12:Users:graeme:Desktop:FSIP back up:_Collected:02405 FSIP AftMkt EAST:Pictures:M587524.EPS
Luckly all the names have the same problem. So I'm hoping to find or write a script that can simply go through the indesign document and Find/Replace all of the link names to remove "BDA-12:Users:graeme:Desktop:FSIP back up:_Collected:02405 FSIP AftMkt EAST:Pictures:".
I know this is a really simple problem but this is my first real attempt at scripting something in Adobe. Does anyone have any good ideas or tips on how I would do this?
Thanks
Vic Bushfield

Victor,
The conversion program totally corrupted links in your document: myLink.filePath is just empty string, myLink.name is what should have been myLink.filePath (This is info from ESTK).
Here is a new version of the script -- it relinks to files located in NewLinks folder on the Desktop. Change this line
var myNewPath = "~/Desktop/NewLinks/" + myName;
to location of your links.
Warning -- I tested this on Mac, since don't have a copy of CS4 for Windows.
Kasyan
#target indesign
if (app.documents.length == 0) {
    err("No open document. Please open a document and try again.", true);
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myLinks = myDoc.links;
var myCounter = 0;
if (myLinks.length == 0) {
    err("This document doesn't contain any links.", true);
for (i = myLinks.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
    var myLink = myLinks[i];
    var myArr = myLink.name.split(":")
    var myName = myArr[myArr.length-1];
    var myNewPath = "~/Desktop/NewLinks/" + myName;
    var myNewFile = new File(myNewPath);
    if (myNewFile.exists) {
        myLink.relink(myNewFile);
        myCounter++;
if (myCounter == 1) {
    alert("One file has been relinked.", "Finished");
else if (myCounter > 1) {
    alert(myCounter + " files have been relinked.", "Finished");
else {
    alert("Nothing has been relinked.", "Finished");

Add file type icons to links using CSS - DW CSS problem?

Hi,
I want to add file icons to links using CSS. How to do this
is clearly described in the article found
HERE.
A most useful feature I REALLY want to use
However the CSS code shown below is not recognized by DW CS3.
In the CSS Styles window shows "(no styles defined)". HELP!
Any tips/tricks/pointers would be appreciated.

Actually, it has been able to handle most of the CSS 3
selectors since
MX 2004, but it doesn't recognize these:
E[foo^="bar"]
E[foo$="bar"]
E[foo*="bar"]
E ~ F
Since they're all supported by IE7, Firefox, Opera 9.5, and
Safari 2,
there's a good argument for Dreamweaver to start supporting
them. Why
don't you submit a formal feature request to Adobe?
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
There are several others not yet supported by Dreamweaver,
but browser
support for them is non-existent, too. The four listed above
are the
most important.

Link layers icon hidden, how to activate it?

I am a beginner user of Photoshop Elements 8. I am in the process of learning how to use the layer process and cannot figure out how to activate the link layer icon in my layers panel. Any suggestions will be welcomed. I have not used this Adobe Community Discussion previously. Thanks. Donna

Thank you so very much!!!! It worked. I am so pleased with your quick reply to my challenge of activating the layer link icon!!!! Have a great evening!

Not all of my perviously purchaced songs are showing up on itunes purchaced link on my account. It show that I have already purchaced them in the itune store, but i have no way of downloading them back into my library.

Not all of my perviously purchaced songs are showing up on itunes purchaced link on my account. It show that I have already purchaced them in the itune store, but i have no way of downloading them back into my library.

If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

Error 7 occurred at ABAPI Dist Report Read Link Info Error.vi - [.....] - RTBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller

Hi all,
I am on a field campaign with my Labview-controlled instrument. I wanted to make a small change to the code and build it again for uploading to a cFP-2020 Fieldpoint but the application builder stopped with the following error message:
Error 7 occurred at ABAPI Dist Report Read Link Info Error.vi -> ABAPI Dist Cmp Settings to Disk Hier.vi -> ABAPI Get Settings From File2.vi -> ABAPI Get Settings From File.vi -> RTBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> RTBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> RTBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
This is another computer than the one I used in the lab previously so might have forgotten to install something. I just copied the whole application folder with project file and subfolders
to the Laptop I am using now. Labview version should be the same though (8.20).
Any suggestions?
Olaf

Hello Olaf,
This error is usually found when a subVI or a support file (DLL, custom control, etc)
isn't able to be found by the application builder. Possible reasons
for this could include subVIs no longer located in their original
paths and in need to be relinked, a DLL that isn't included in the build,
and many other possibilities.
You wrote that you copied the project from another PC, so it is very possible that some file went missing. Are all VIs in your project executable?
You could try to mass compile all the VIs in your project and see if that helps.

6.0.4 Update - fixes nested ID file links info

Hi all,
I got a message from an Adobe development manager letting me know of the 6.0.4 update. Specifically they have (almost) rectified the issue where you could not find out about graphic links inside of ID docs that were placed inside another ID document. The solution is that the placed ID document has an attribute of "links" (list/array) which can then be queried for the number of images and their information. I said "almost" because in a quick test, and verification with the Adobe rep, the Status of a graphic in the place ID file will not show as "normal" - it only shows its status as "out of date" or "link missing". My rep says this may need to wait for a later (6.0.5?) update.
There may be other fixes but this is one of two I really needed. I wanted to let everyone know, I know there are some other people waiting for this.
Here's some Applescript of how I queried some links in nested ID files:
--comment out as needed
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
tell document 1
set subLinkTable to {}
set topLinkStatii to status of every link
if topLinkStatii contains link missing then --link missing is constant
return "missing top level links"
end if
repeat with L in every link
set linkCount to count of links of L
repeat with i from 1 to linkCount
copy ((status of link i of L) as string) & "-" & (name of link i of L) to end of subLinkTable
if status of link i of L is link missing then
return "missing 2nd level links"
end if
end repeat
end repeat
return "great success"
end tell
end tell
Here's a javascript (not written by me) that does some similar querying:
// Iterate through all the links of container document
linksLength = theDoc.links.length;
for (i=0 ; i< linksLength ; i++)
var curLink = theDoc.links[i];
alert("Top level link: " + curLink.name);
childLinksLength = curLink.links.length;
// Iterare through the child links of the placed INDD file
for (j=0; j < childLinksLength; j++)
alert("Child link: " + curLink.links[j].name);
Ciao,
Chris

I've never been working with placed ID documents so I can't comment that. My concern is ordinary images.
The thing that's breaking is the relinking of images in scripts, previously relying on an update and an assignment of the result of the update to a new variable, like this:
            lnk.relink(File(myImagesPath + '/' + newTrail));
            var modifiedLink = lnk.update();
            picture = modifiedLink.parent;
A try/catch, not to disturb customers still in CS3 or not yet updated should take care of the error now.
> I agree it causes us to change scripts; but that does happen from time to time.
Well, major versions of course, but I don't agree that it happens time to time. Absolutely not. This is the first time ever that an ordinary minor (free) update has caused any of our scripts to fail (and we have quite a lot of code, doing scripting since CS2). We might just be lucky but I'd say that Adobe has been very good at not disturbing code by updates, and my guess is that the effect of this update was taken into account when released.

Error 501; iTunes store shows no images-only underlined links/question mark

When I open iTunes store, the images show only as boxes with question marks and the text shows as an underlined blue link. When I click on anything I get a Error 501 message. My iTunes library and connection with iPod are unaffected.
I have tried to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. I have tried uninstalling everything related to Apple/iTunes (including Bonjour) and reinstalling Quicktime by itself (was successful). Everytime I reinstall iTunes, the store appears the same way and is inaccessible. Please help!!

I have the same problem with our system. I contacted the Apple Help Department and they tried to help me via email (same fixes, uninstall, reinstall - same problem), but the problem persists. I can't preview the songs either and would like Apple to step up and help us all out!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Linking to a specific SLIDING panel remotely

I'm trying to link to a specific SLIDING panel (not a tabbed
panel) from a remote link. I'm sure this can be done using
SpryURLUtils.js as I've successfully achieved the result with
tabbed panels. There's not as much online information on doing this
with sliding panels, though, and I've had no luck experimenting on
my own.
Can anyone help?
Here are two example pages of the pages in question:
http://www.studiohyperset.com/sandbox/aafd/impressionist.php
http://www.studiohyperset.com/sandbox/aafd/fullsizepgs/impressionist/stillLifeFlowers.htm
The user launches the second page from the first and should
be able to get back to the second sliding panel on the first page
by clicking "RETURN." Right now, when the user clicks "RETURN,"
s/he returns to the first slide in the sequence.
Thanks in advance for any help.

How do I bind the user-defined watch to a specific server so that server's Health would show green ball and is linked to Monitoring watch?

Jin-Chong

Hello JinChong,
We had created User-defined Explorer watches on our environments and have run into issues.
Have received many false alerts even though Explorer servers are running fine.
After creating an AGS case it was informed to us that Explorer does not have monitoring capabilities.
AGS is checking with solution architect of Explorer application about when the monitoring watches for explorer would be included.
