Replacing marker text for sevral markers in one shot.

I can't change marker text (such as an index entry) by using the Find/Change dialog box. If FrameMaker finds the marker text I specify, and if I type different text in the Change text box and click Change, FrameMaker replaces the marker--not the marker text--with the text in the Change text box.
To change marker text, i use the Special > Marker command
I have loads of marker spread over several documents. It is not practical to change each and every marker text manually.
Basically i have marker with marker text in the format "gotolink xyz.pdf:abc". I would like to replace the marker text to "gotolink xyz.fm:abc".
The marker text varies for different markers but the bottom line is replacing pdf to fm.
Please help me as early as possible.
Regards,
Damodar

Damodar, The fastest way would be to do the search & replace in the MIF files using a text editor (such as UltraEdit or TextPad) or a regular expression tool such as grep or Funduc's Search&Replace. You would look for the statement: <MText `gotolink xyz.pdf:abc'> and replace appropriately. To batch convert all of the files in a book to MIF, you could use the trial version of mif2go available from Omni Systems at http://www.omsys.com

Is there a place to see the "Marker Text" for the entire index and make changes?

I know how to make individual changes in "marker text" for the Index.
Is there a place to see the "Marker Text" for the entire index and make changes there?
I am indexing a book that uses quotes from scripture.
As an example, I want to change listings from
Colossians 3:10-11
to
Colossians 3 verses 10-11
I would appreciate any help.
If this is not the correct venue for this question, please disregard.

You didn't mention which version of FM that you're using. In FM9, this can now be done in the Marker Pod.
There are third-party utilities that also let you see all marker content.
In the freebie category is MarkerWorker from Cudspan at: http://www.cudspan.net/plugins/
In the paid plug-in category are:
IXgen: http://www.fsatools.com/ixmid.html
MarkerTools : http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/markertools.php
emDex: http://www.emdex.ca/
Indexing add-ons:
IndexTools (helpful for formatting and other Index layout tricks): http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html
In the DIY category, you can create a List of Markers for the Index (with hypertext enabled), open the Marker window (Special > Marker...) and then use ctrl+alt click on the entry to make a hypertext link to the location and see it in the marker window for editing. [Note: you can also do the same thing from the Index itself]

Hi all,
How can I add a Role 'X' for 250+ User in one shot. I could go to SU01 for each User and add a Role 'X' manually, but it will take at least more than two hours. Is there any automation to accomplish this task, PLEASE ?
Thanks.

Anyone know how much a replacement screen is for iPhone 5? one quote as much as my phone cost.

Does anyone know the price of and iPhone 5 screen replacement? one quote was as much as the phone itself

Apple does not sell iPhone screen replacements, or any other parts. Any OEM parts found may have been removed from another iPhone 5. So you are saying the quote was $649?

Will Apple replace my battery for free?

I have a first gen 15" macbook pro - one of the first production runs which was subject to the battery recall in 2006 (remember? the one that apple insisted had absolutely nothing to do with Sony's exploding batteries...)
That battery was subsequently replaced under warranty in May 2008 - i had 3 year hardware warranty because i bought it through my uni. However in January this year, it's performance seemed to degrade somewhat so I called Apple - I was told that because Apple had already replaced it once, they would not replace it again, despite it still being within warranty, well below 300 cycles and capacity being in the region of 50% of initial according to Coconut Battery. I was told all i could do was try to calibrate it. I did this and things improved enough for me to drop it. Wish I hadn't because the warranty ended in February.
I am now in the position of no longer being under warranty and the battery capacity degraded to about 25% of initial capacity. Since i installed Snow Leopard I have had the Service Battery warning. Has anybody had any experiences with Out-Of-Warranty battery replacements? I'm thinking of taking it to an Apple Store but don't want to bother with the journey if they won't replace it - i'll order a non-apple higher capacity one online!

"Will Apple replace my battery for free?"
No one here can answer your question because this is a user to user forum. You will need to call Apple yourself & ask them.
"Condition: Check Battery"
Means you need a new battery which you already know.
"Has anybody had any experiences with Out-Of-Warranty battery replacements?"
Not me personally. However, there have been cases reported here (if you do a fourm search) some users have had their batteries replaced out of warranty. Apparently, Apple does this on a _*case by case*_ basis.
Your best bet is to call Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2775 plead your case politely & see what they can do for you.
Good luck!

Adding replacement text for acronyms using the SDK

All
I have an existing C++ plugin for Acrobat Pro that walks through documents page by page doing different things (e.g. changing annotations) on each page.
As part of an effort to make out PDF files "accessible" I have an issue.
One of things that I have been asked to do is to look at creating PDF "replacement text" for a list of acronyms as they occur in a document. I believe the optimal outcome would be to somehow make the acronyms as "marked-content" and created "replacement text" for the marked-content (The marked-content being an acronym).
I have been looking at the core API, PDFEdit, and PDSEdit. It looks like PDFEdit would be the set of tools that might be able to do this, but I don't think it will. It doesn't seem like there is a way to "mark content" using PDFEdit. If I was able to cerate the correct marked content, it looks like the there isn't a way to add "replacement text" for that marked content.
We are creating structured PDF files, so I looked at PDSEdit. It appears that it pretty easy to created alternate text for an element. However, the elements are usually entire paragraphs so I would have to create "alternate text" for the entire paragraph just to have replacement for an acronym in the paragraph.
Playing with the "content streams" is something new to me, so I am wondering if it looks like I have considered all of the options?
Thanks

Leonard
Looking at PDSEdit, it appears that I have to create replacement text for entire element. Our elements are entire paragraphs for the most part. I was thinking that I couldn't just provide replacement text for a single word in the paragraph and I would have to provide replacement text for the entire paragraph since there is only 1 replacement text per element.
Maybe I didn't think about this enough (I shouldn't be allowed to talk out loud on Fridays). If I could split an existing element into 3 elements (before acronym, acronym, after acronym), I could avoid building replacement text for the entire paragraph. Or maybe I can created marked content with PDSEdit as a separate structure element? Not sure I can do that.
Do you think I can do what I want to do with PDSEdit?
I guess I am struggling a little to understand how the content streams relate to the items in the basic PDF structure (e.g. replacement text for marked content) and the document structure.
Sorry about rambling..
Thanks

Dragging markers to timeline WITH MARKER TEXT

hi, i use markers extensively inside captured clips. when i drag a marker from the Browser to the Timeline, sometimes it copies the marker text, sometimes just the name of the clip.
it's weird behavior and i haven't figured out when it chooses one or the other option.
how can i insure that the marker text ALWAYS comes along when i drag to the timeline?
thx.

When I create clip markers with text comments I do so in the Viewer. I use the F9 key to bring them into the timeline and they always include the text comments.
With your clip highlighted in the timeline, and the playhead on the clip press shift + Up Arrow to back to the precise marker (shift + Down Arrow goes forward)
Then press the "m" key to read your text coment

How can I enable spell checking for a text box that is just one line, e.g. subject in e-mail?

In a prior version of Firefox I found a website somewhere that told me what to do to enable spell checking for text boxes that are just one line. I got used to being able to send an e-mail with a Subject Line that didn't have a misspelling. Now it doesn't work. Please tell me how I can enable that again. I am on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thanks!

See:

You can set the pref layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Display more than one line of text for events?

I couldn't find this in the forum... I just recently updated to Leopard. Now when I put events in iCal, it only displays one line of text in the month calendar view. I'd really like to see the whole description of the event, even if it's two or three lines. I can't find anything in preferences that addresses this, and various searches are not yielding anything. Help?
-mel

Hi there.
Usually in iCal if you want more than one line of text for timed events, resizing the window will help. Under all-day events, iCal will always show you one line of text, but if there is more space it will show you more text. So, also resizing the window for this will help to see the text.
Take care.

The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)

My iphone 4 doesn´t connect thorugh Wi-Fi, apple replaced my phone for a new one and it has the same problem. I have an ipod and it doesn´t have this problem. Does any one know what to do?? Thanks

My iphone 4 doesn´t connect through Wi-Fi, Apple replaced my phone for a new one, but the new one has the same problem. I have an ipod third generation and it doesn´t have this problem. Having compared both working at the same time, the iphone alsways lags behind or doesn´t even connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. Does any one know what to do?? Thanks

Have you ever checked to see if there is an update for your router? If yes, then power off router. Then on iPhone go into settings and do a reset network settings. Power router back on, and try connecting phone to router.

My iPhone 4 lock button broke, will Apple fix/replace it for free under the one year warranty?

I've had my iPhone 4 for just under a year now and a couple weeks ago the lock button broke. At first, it was just difficult to press down and now it's just completely stuck. I've been using the assistive touch but it's kind of a hassle. I still have a few days left of my one year warranty, so if I went to the Apple Store would they fix/replace my phone for free or would I have to pay? Also, I was having issues with my speakers previously so I went to get it fixed and they said my phone has water damage and I would need to pay to fix it. Will the water damage effect them fixing my lock button too or is it different? Any advice/guidence is greatly appreciated!

If there is water damage then they will likely conclude that your issues are a result of that and you will have to pay.
But don't ask us, ask them. We're users and this have no idea what Apple will say in your case.

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.
From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?

Install the new drive in the computer.
Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
      the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
      is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
      Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
      the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
      wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
      drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
      window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
      Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
      return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
      hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.
