Rename Topics and Broken Links

I am currently working on a project and have had to rename
several topics. Now those newly-named topics display as broken
links with the old topic name. I've never had this happen before.
Any ideas or suggestions?

1. You have to rename them within the RH project.
2. You have to be working the project on your local drive.
If you answer No to either, you have your answer.
Good luck,
Leon

How do I rid my iTunes library of duplicates and broken links?

How do I rid my iTunes library of duplicates and broken links?

Well nevermind! It appears that if I just add my entire music library and run a Match update, it ends up making the associations and showing the tracks as being stored in my local music library.

RH8 and broken links

Has anyone ever opened their RH8 project only to find every topic is now a broken link? Is there a quick way to restore all my topics? Or must I do it all individually?
Your help, as always, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jennifer

Hi Peter!
I checked in Help and it says RoboHelp 8.0.0.2. I also went out to your site and looked under Opening Projects. You reference needing a patch if you don't have 8.0.2. Is this the same thing? Sorry for the stupid question.

Preview Pane and broken link issues in CS2 for Mac. Please help!

I posted this a few days ago - but would love to have some insight on how we can resolve this issue
When I am working on html documents, both old and new, I have lost all of the 'preview pane' buttons.
I can still see and have access to the layout and source panes, but the two preview (pdf and regular) are missing.
In the body of the editor all of the images that were there now show just a broken link image (but when you save and go to view the file in a browser all changes and updates are there. The source shows all of the right info and links
Also when you place a new image - the image icon doesn't show the image or even change to the proper size that the image is. You have to do that manually and then still only shows a broken icon in the new size.
Has anyone seen this before? Did I accidentally altered a mode in GoLive....is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!!!

When you have ADE (digital editions) open with "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

Orphans and broken links

Hi there,
When I run a check on my site, it lists items that were erased from my site long ago. For example, my page once had a page of links which I since removed from my site and deleted from my computer. When I run the site check, the links from the page (eg. http://johndoe.com) show up as orphans. This happens in other ways as well in which things deleted or replaced still appear. Is that something I'm doing wrong in terms of removing things from DW? Any issues with them still appearing? When I delete them (through the checker) then run the check, they appear again.
This is also true for broken links...it says links are broken on a page that no longer has the link it says is broken?
I'm pretty new with this, any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
Tom

Can't repair broken links

Hi
I've got 267 broken links on a single page, all images.
there seems to be no difference between surviving links and broken links,
I have tried to fix the links in the link inspector and the properties panel, which failed.
I think this might take a long time to repair, so I don't want to go down any wrong paths, especially with me being a relative newbee an all.
The page in question is here:
http://denchworthponds.co.uk/Pond%20Construction.html
It's an image heavy site in which every image has
a thumbnail, a thumbnail rollover and a large lightbox image that activates when the thumbnail is clicked
122 links are OK, 267 links are broken.
I didn't notice before I uploaded the site as it looked fine in 'preview in browser'.
perhaps the problem is in my code - I hope so.
Could it be one of the following?
1/ the photos are in image folders within the image folder on my local site, is it bad practice to have folders within folders on my local site? (i've got loads)
2/ since saving(for Web and devices) the images to my local site, I have opened many of them again in photoshop for image alteration, I was checking for an increase in file size while I was altering the images, but didn't see any. Then, of course, I saved them back in the same folder with same name etc. Was the problem that I merely saved the images, and did not Save for Web and devices? - they were already optimised. (some images were altered manually, others using the Actions pallette)
3/ Some of the folder names are probably not DW friendly, for instance;
the file pond6thumb4 is in my folder 12pondbuild6 4/11,
DW reads that folder as 12pondbuild6 4%3A11 -is that the problem?
(-and, as I say, that folder is inside the Images folder on my local site)
The real mystery to me is that 122 links are not broken and I can see no difference between the surviving links and the broken links. It all seems a bit arbitory.
I'm running CS5.5 on a 2007 iMac duo-core desktop.
Any thoughts anybody?
thank you for your time and greycells in advance
- Shaun

Find and Replace should be able to manage that quickly.
Find: (in source code): %3A
Replace: (blank) or a hyphen ("-")
Rename your folders manually in the operating system.
Or, use the DW Files Panel:
Rename each folder and let DW manage the renaming of the links automatically.

Topics missing from link view and topic references

I am using RoboHelp X5 and have come across situations where
I have a URL, and all of the topics that link to it do not display
in link view, in the Show Topics References option, or in the
External Topics report. I want to know if there is an easy way to
correct this so I can see every topic that links to a particular
URL.
For example, I have a link to www.adobe.com that is
referenced in the TOC and 5 different RoboHelp topics. After I
initially set up all the links, all 5 topics show in link view from
www.adobe.com. In topic references, the TOC also appears. Then a
few days or weeks later, I try to view the links again, and some or
all of them no longer appear. If I display the link in link view or
right click and select Topic References, it may only show me the
reference to the TOC. If I remove it from the TOC, it no longer
appears as a URL at all. But it is still actually used in 5 topics.
Also, if I know it is linked from topic A, I could go in and edit
topic A and save. Then www.adobe.com will show up as a link in the
URL list again, and topic A will appear again in link
view/references. But I don't necessary know all of the topics that
link to it, and if I am trying to remove it from the entire
project, or change the URL, that becomes a problem.
I hope this makes sense and if anyone can help, I would
appreciate it!
Chris

Repair the broken links, create a zipped backup of the project, then delete the CPD file before reopening.

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.

When I open iTunes on my new computer using the .itl file, and using the same external drive holding the songs, all of the songs I added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links, while none of the songs have broken links on the old computer.

I want to open the iTunes library on my new laptop with all the playlists and stuff I built on the old computer. I have all my music on an external drive. I have copied the .itl file from the old computer and opened it on the laptop, and it has all the playlists, but all of the songs that were added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links. What am I doing wrong?

Moving library files around while leaving the data in the same place usually presents no problems. Moving the data around independently from the library usually breaks things. With Windows machines all you should need to do is make sure that the same drive letter is being used on the new system as with the old. If that is not possible you need to get your library into a portable layout before moving it between systems.
Typical layout of iTunes folders:
When the media folder is inside the main iTunes folder as shown above then the library is portable. Typically with a split library the iTunes Music or iTunes Media folder (everything inside the red outline) is moved to a different drive by choosing a new locaton for it and then consolidating.
To make the library portable again you need to copy the library files and album artwork folder into the parent folder of the media folder so that the nested relationship is recreated. (BTW If your media isn't already inside your designated media folder then you will also need to consolidate the files that are outside of it, before you copy the library files.) You can then use the hold-down-shift-when-starting-iTunes method to open the library file in that parent folder. Once the library has been opened, tested and closed you are most of the way there.
The iTunes window inherits its title from the folder holding the library files so, unless you created a folder called iTunes to hold the media folder, iTunes may now have an unexpected title when you run it. The parent folder can be renamed as iTunes, and the library opened again. Alternatively, if the parent folder is at the root of the drive, or has other data which you wish to leave in place, you can create a new top level folder called iTunes and move the library files, album artwork and media folders into it before opening and testing the library again.
If the library doesn't work after any step simply reverse it by undoing a move or rename or opening the previous set iTunes Library.itl file.
If all has gone well then the library is now portable. Once you've migrated the data to a new system you can copy the library files back to their usual internal location if you find that having them on the external drive affects performance...

All web browsers, search engines and apps redirect automatically to broken links.

Hi, I have a big problem. When I browse internet, my iPhone redirect it automatically to different links. most of them are broken links. When I try to stop, web browser or app will be closed. This occur with every web browser, google and apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, etc. Why is this ? If I try to open a weblink in a web browser or an app, it will open original link and then redirect to a different web address automatically. And it content nothing. I am confused. Please help.

thanks orangekay for your input. i downloaded both onyx and cocktail and ran them both fully (not at the same time of course) and the problem still persists, pages are still rendering in glyphs. i went in and did the full system with every option checked. still no luck.
also after running the two utilities i've run into a new glitch. when a dialog box appears my pointer slowly moves automatically to the default button that is highlighted. its really strange, i'm not sure if thats a feature or not, but i havent had time to explore the situation.
so you believe it's a font problem? hmm...
thanks for the input again, geese, i guess this topic isnt very common, i've ony gotten one response =T

Can you link from the TOC to a bookmark within a topic and when activated have the bookmark appear

at the top of the page? If so, how?

You should just be able to drag the bookmark from the Topics pane into the TOC pane (pods if you are using RH8). This will put something like the following into the TOC:
My Topic#firstbookmark
Right-click on this and select Rename to change how it will appear in the TOC. You can see the display name (page title) and actual link (Link to) by right-clicking on the TOC entry and selecting Properties.
(This works in RH6. It should work in RH7 and 8, but I haven't specifically tried it myself.)

Sorry about that. I am not exactly sure where the problem is, but I know it takes place after I put the <nav> in (in the html portion). If I understand what I am learning, the CSS at the top will structure my html code so I would have thought the CSS tageting my nav would be the focus. Maybe it is a different section though.
CSS part:
nav p {
font-size: 90%;
color: #FFC;
text-align: right;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #090;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
border-top-width: 2px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-color: #060;
HTML part: (bold italic is the part I added)

Broken Links and Deleted Template

First: I have 13 pages of broken links. Where is the link to
training for improving these links? Secondly: When viewed in
Firefox, and when Tools, Error Console, is observed on each page, I
have the following ERROR on pages that I attempted to use a
Template, and then deleted the Template: "Uncaught exception
Permission denied to call methodLocation.to String." What do I do
about this error?

>
http://www.upowerpoint.com/tools_books+movies_catalogs.html
There are no broken links on that page
http://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.upowerpoint.com%2Ftoo

What specific issue, on what specific page?
Or perhaps restate your original question in a different way?
Note- the + in the filename may present problems when linking
TO to this
file.
ran the link check on entire site.
There was only one internal broken link.
there's maybe a dozen external links with problems.
this page:

The link to the css file is broken.
<link href="../Stylesheets/style.css"

way for a

Repeated problem of broken link and unused files

Hi ,
I am using RH8.0.2
I have updated my RH8 to RH8.0.2 and then fix all broken link and did what was advised.i got result, everything was fine, I was a happy man. Today when i open the same project for updation, i found again plenty of broken links and unused file in the same project.
Is there any permanent solution of the problem of broken links and unused file or i have to fix it every time when i open my project?
Plz help!!!
Br,
Rahul

Hi Rahul.
Two things. Firstly some of the paths you have in your project are very long. In the example you have given we are seeing less than half the path. This may not be the problem but it maybe in the future. Secondly, as Peter has suggested, the problem maybe related to source control. Do you use it? I have heard of instances where (e.g. .FPJ) files cause issues.

Deleting songs and scanning for broken links.

I've encountered a couple weird problems today. I've read through every area of the preferences, right-clicked everywhere I can think of in the iTunes window to see what pops up in those menus, and can't find the solutions to my problems.
1) It used to be that when I tried to delete a song from iTunes, it would ask if I wanted to delete it from the PC. It doesn't do this anymore, but I really wish it did. Is there a way for me to delete something from my iTunes library AND my PC with one action?
2) Since I could not delete songs through iTunes, I went straight to where my music files reside and deleted them that way. I know iTunes can scan the library for broken links and stuff -- it's done it before, though I don't know what triggered it. How can I make it scan my list for broken links and remove them? I deleted something like 300 songs -- that's a lot of links to delete individually.
I'm not computer illiterate. I've right-clicked everywhere, gone through all the menus and the preferences menu and still can't figure out how to get iTunes to do these basic functions. It's really frustrating because I know it's done them before. Please help.

open itunes, right click on the song you want to delete, click clear.. and why are we not allowed to give you a link. This is FREE help, and any link could have told you told you that.
