Problem with TOC in long book doc

Hi!
I have a book with 16 chapters
every chapter has its own TOC, including a heading that has its unique paragraph style
Now, I want to create a TOC at the beginning of the book - using the heading of each chapter's TOC - so I tell it to use that unique Para style (that I used for each chapter)
for some reason after formatting the TOC and checking "use book docs" I get an empty TOC with the word "contents"
any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
maybe it can't pull from within other TOCs??
TIA!!!

It's good that you're looking into this before getting started.
Search Google for terms like "indexing books" without quotes.
HTH

Problem with TOC pages and books

I'm using RH 8 and generate Webhelp.
I created a project and had to change some TOC pages and create TOC books instead. I deleted the pages and added books, with the same name. In RH it looks fine but when I generate the TOC displays the page instead of the book. I tried deleting my cache in IE and deleting the page again. Still no help. I rebooted, and even restarted and still got the same thing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi there
If the page is not actually inside of a Book, the WebHelp generation process will sense that.
If you want a Book, try right-clicking the page in the TOC editor and choose "Create Book from Page". This should create a book with the page inside it. Of course both will have the same name, so you may need to rename the Book. Or rename the page. Your choice.
Cheers... Rick

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated by itself and now outlook and address book have each over 340,000. What should I do?

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
Many thanks
Regis

CS4 problem with TOC

Hi there,
I'm working on a book and I've created a table of contents. I've updated the table of contents several times with no problem, but now when I go to Update Table of Contents, I get this message:
You must include one or more paragraph styles in order to create a table of contents.
Obviously, I'm not trying to create a toc - I"m tryign to update the existing one.
I have my cursor in the existing toc when I try to update. As I said, I've updated it several times while working on book -- only now I'm no longer able to update the toc.
Why would the update toc no longer be working?
Thanks so much.
Yael

HI there,
I recreated the TOC and now the update works. I think perhaps I edited the previous TOC within the TOC rather than in the actual documents and perhaps that caused the update problem.
So problem solved.

Weird problem with ToC/Story Editor

Hi all,
I write the documentation for a software package. Recently the package has had two new add-ons that require their own manuals, so I reused my original doc and cleared it out to use for the new packages. All good so far until I want to do the ToC. In the original docs, each bit is split into its own story editor, but with the new manuals everything is all in one story and I think that is causing problems with the ToC because sometimes I'll get sections with nothing in them while other Sections have too many subsections. I've been through and checked my styles, but the only way around it right now is to view the ToC in the Story Editor and drag/drop the subsections to the right places. Right now these new manuals are not even 30 pages each, with four or five sections but this is not a tenable situation. I use InDesign 5.5 under Windows. Anyone got any idea? Obviously more detail can be provided.
Thanks in advance,
B

It looks the same and all the text is still in one Story. Can I split stories?

Sync problem with Yahoo! Address Book

In iTunes I selected the option to have my iPhone contacts list synced with my Yahoo! Address Book. I have added some contacts directly into my iPhone. When I then subsequently sync'ed my iPhone with iTunes, those contacts disappeared I added through my iPhone disappeared. But if I add the contacts online in my Yahoo! Address book, those contacts sync fine with my iPhone. How do I get my iPhone to sync properly with my Yahoo! Address book?

I ahve the same problem, I had to re-intall the OS on my phone and since then both of my Rogers email account are refusing to let me access the CARDDAV.
When I try to add the CARDDAV I get the following error : At This Time Your Contacts Account Can`t Be Added. Please Try Again Later
I have been trying daily for the past two weeks with no success, and the same thing is happening on the PlayBook (I tried to change the password on the accounts to see if it would solve the problem)

FC studio2 editing problems with western digital my book home for mac

hi--bought a 1TB WD my book home for mac coupla years ago because it seemed like a good deal for so much space, and provided and eSATA hookup, too. Worked ok for a while. Now, with a growing Motion project that I bring into FC for overall color/levels/export adjustments, I'm getting a long-term beachball every time I try to do anything with it. Just did a complete reinstall of FC studio (after running Techtool pro 5 rebuild and optimizing files and volume), trashed the project and recreated it incase the file itself was corrupted, but the beachball keeps showing up once i try to get past a particular edit and play the file through -- something I haven't had problems with before. Have read this harddrive is a real POS/PIA for many because of its internal "sleep" setting and other weaknesses, and am thinking of cracking the drive out of its case and putting it into a plain eSATA/FireWire enclosure. Anybody else tried this or heard of it working? Money's a big issue right now (too many slow/no pay clients), so can't just run out and get a new drive and transfer w/out trying cheaper route first. Would appreciate feedback, cuz this is makin' me lose what little hair i got left!

My question says: "Final Cut Studio 2 editing problems"; I formatted the drive for the mac when i bought it: journaled HFS+, Apple Partition Map; 2 partitions (and connected via eSATA); which has been working fine as is up till now. The sequence and settings are those in which I've worked on many projects for years with no problems up until now. I am also completely up-to-date with all my app and system updates. I did begin to wonder after posting if the reinstall might be the source of my problems, but it was the interminable beachball waits that prompted the reinstall in the first place.

Problem with Classroom in a book

I have been working through the lessons in Adobe Premier Elements 11 Classroom in a book and am having a problem with Lesson 6 "Creating a Picture-in-Picture overlay. the lesson comes with Greenscreen.mov file to be used in the lesson but when I try to use it I get the error message in a pop up "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. As this is the file downloaded from the CD that came with the book and can't understand why I am having a problem using it.

Ermananda
It appears that my first impression of your situation was correct, that is, another Classroom in a Book corrupt/damaged lesson file as confirmed by nealeh's detailed post numbered 5.
You may want to bookmark this thread and the link to the publisher since you may run into other corrupt/damaged files are you proceed through the book's lessons.
Regarding what you wrote
As a further note I went on to lesson 7 creating transitions. You start by openning Lesson07_Start_Win.prel. It tells me to open the file Lesson07_Movie.mov in the project assets panel and to open and play it in the preview window. When I do that the greenscreen.mov that I could not open in lesson 6 appears to be running in the preview mode but maybe that is because the whold clip is done together as a completed mov file??
That might be explained by nealeh's report that the greenscreen.mov exists in more than one place.
The following is the link to the Premiere Elements 12 Help PDF. You might want to cross check with it as you go through your book's lessons.

Give the keyframing another look. If problems with the concept and its working through, please let us know and we can provide some step by step information on that.
Glad for the opportunity to be of assistance. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need any help with your Premiere Elements workflows.
Thanks.

Problem with Groups from Address Book in Apple Mail

I have set up a group in my address book. When I use Apple Mail I use this group to send specific messages to. But for some reason I keep getting error messages saying that my outgoing sever encountered a problem with the messgae. It only happens when I send messages with a group, not if I send messages to single recipients. The group consists of 90 emails, so I can't enter their emails each time I want to send a message to the group.
Thanks in advance,
Regards

I am having a similar problem. All the addresses are correct, and I know this because I use them all the time with no errors. BUT when bundled into a group - actually any group I set up I cannot send successfully. I have two groups in my mail program and neither will work.

IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Chuck

You're welcome.
You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

Problem with TOC levels (Bug?)

Hi!
Im using Layout -> Table of contents to generate the TOC for my magazine. My pages basically have two paragraph styles that will be used in the TOC window. They are Section and Tittle, and are defined as paragraph style and well syncronized with the other articles of the magazine, im using a book to organize the files.
In the Window of TOC a choose for the first style Section pragraph style and add to the include paragraph style, next it's added tittle paragraph style to the include paragraph style.
Im getting
Tittle1.......................3
Section1
Tittle2......................4
Section2
INSTEAD OF
Section1
Tittle1.......................3
Section2
Tittle2......................4
Section style box is in level 1 and Tittle style box is in level 2 in TOC window. It make senses to me, when im defining the paragraph styles for TOC, but is different from what i expected.
It's a Bug on the CS4 for Windows ? Anyone have a problem similiar ?
Thanks

It was the relative position of the section to the tittle frame. Thank you very much!
The Section was in the right corner of the page and the tittle was centered in the midle of the page.
I have made that because the layout of my magazine has the sections on the upper right.
I will have to create a hidden layer in the upper left of the page to solve the problem.
Do you have another solution, or a more elegant solution to solve this situation in particular ?
thank you very much!
best regards

Problem with iChat and Address Book

Ok, I've been having a problem ever since I used a program to remove my unwanted print drivers and language packs (I forget the program's name). Ever since then, my iChat and Address book will not open. The spinning beach ball appears, and nothing happens. Ichat just continues bouncing in the dock. All I can do with the programs is force-quit them.
I have tried re-installing OSX (not a fresh install), fixing permissions, re-installing the programs, and re-installing the drivers and language packs. Aside from a complete fresh-install, does anyone have any ideas why these programs are not running and how to fix them?
Thanks,
Jared

I have a similar problem.
There are 3 user accounts on my iMac:
I. The admin
II. My account
III. My wife's account
Where only the admin account can administer the computer.
All the applications work just fine when I am logged in as the admin. The problems appear when I switch to my account.
The following apps crash immediately on their startup:
1. Mail
2. Address Book
3. iChat
4. All the Big Bang board games
Safari browser crashes the moment you enter some input on a page with input edit controls.
Sherlock when trying to actually use any web service.
The crash log for any of the above always reports the same reason:
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000004
The interesting thing is that each and every crash log reports the crash within the
com.apple.AddressBook.framework always at the same place:
c4Sequence::PropIndex(c4Property const&) + 14
Note that the problem exists only with my account. Both the admin and my wife's user accounts are fine.
I have no idea where I take it from here. I really dislike the idea of recreating my account.

Problem with TOC

I made 2 styles
titles of lessons
titles of sections.
I created a table of contents (TOC) using the styles, however half of the titles do not show.
I checked all titles styles to be sure they are using the appropriate ones and they are.
Here is the automatic table missing several titles. What is doing this. I had no problem in CS4 ever and since I have CS5 this problem has appears in several projects.
Here is the table the way it should look.

If it's a conversion issue, it usually works better to do the export from the original version, rather than to wait and try the export from CS5 after editing. I've gotten into the habit of exporting all complex files to .inx in the original, then opeing that to make changes in CS5. So far that's worked well, and seems to work for others who have reported issues when opening a legacy .indd file directly.
So, Do you still have CS4? If so, lets try something else. Open the .idml file you exported from CS5 in CS4, then export THAT to .inx, and finally, open teh .inx in CS5. If you haven't used any new unsuppoted features, this should work to give you a document with the same layout, but there may be some changes in text flow so check carefully for oversets and headings that might have moved. Try the TOC again...

Problems with Captions in IPhoto Book

I received the IPhoto book I ordered yesterday. Six pages contain mistakes in the photo captions. In all instances the mistakes are misprints of dates (ex (048 instead of 1948). I have looked through the discussion threads and haven't come across anyone who has had this problem. I've emailed Apple Support but wonder if anyone else has had this problem. How can it be solved?
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

VBrady:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Contact Apple via their iPhoto customer service page, http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. You should be able to get a refund. Others have reported success in doing so with incorrect books. Good luck.

Problems with mail and address book

Hi,
I need help with my e-mail. When I try to add receivers the program jams up and the round colourful thing indicating "thinking" starts to spin. Does anyone know what could be the problem? This thing happens every time when I create a new message and try to add receivers. I have had this problem about two weeks now and it is very annoying.
Please help!

3 suggestions:
1. Quit Mail. Launch Font Book. Select All Fonts under collections, and then highlight all of your fonts under Fonts (Edit --> Select All). Finally go to File --> Validate fonts.
Based on the crash reports some have submitted corrupt fonts have been the issue.
2. If that does not resolve your issue, then you may need to rebuild your Envelope Index. Quit Mail. Go to Home Folder/Library/Mail. Change the name of the file labeled "Envelope Index" to "Old Envelope Index". Relaunch Mail and allow it to reimport your messages.
3. Finally, if that does not resolve the issue, then quit Mail. Go to Home Folder/Library/Preferences. Drag the file labeled com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and see if the issue is resolved.
These have worked for others with similar issues recently. Let us know if any of these suggestions help. Cheers!
