RH8 broken links are bookmarks

I have a lot of broken links that RH says are bookmarks. when I try to restore the link, I get a message saying,
You cannot create a topic from a missing bookmark. Create a new topic with the appropriate file name then add the bookmark to that topic.,
Well I believe I have the topics. I just don't know what to do with these bookmark broken li nks.

HI Willam,
Thanks for this very logical, simple response. Before I attempted to set the bookmarks in the topics again, I tried something else. In the topic list, I saw that several, about 5, of the topics related to these bookmarks were not there. I imported the topics into the project, but this seemed to have no effect on the missing topics. I suspected that the topics were in the wrong folder, so within RH, I opened Explorer, copied the topics into the path the broken links gave me. all the broken links and missing topics were resolved after I did this.
I don't understand why Rh was telling me the bookmarks were missing when in fact it seemed to be topics that were not in the correct project folder.

RH8 fixing broken links

In RH8, I'm trying to fix broken links. I find the topics, then they move from the Broken Links folder to the correct folder but then the topic still looks like it has a broken link! Can anyone advise? here's a pic

Hello again
Unfortunately you are totally misunderstanding things. Please allow me to try and explain better.
ANY folder in your project is going to have an FPJ file inside it. This is a "behind the scenes" file that RoboHelp uses to keep track of the files that are part of the project.
In the image you provided, there are two folders in the project location with similar names:
Ranger_Help
Ranger_Help_
Only the Ranger_Help_ appears to actually be part of the project because the other folder Ranger_Help isn't appearing in the image capture showing the project inside RoboHelp. So unless something screwy happened, you should not find an FPJ file inside that folder. Then again, you may find one. It all depends on what happened.
Personally, I'd look inside the Ranger_Help folder and see if the files representing the broken links are inside. They may well be. And if so, I'd copy them to the Ranger_Help_ folder and see if that resolves things.
This project is beginning to resemble a bowl of spaghetti!
Cheers... Rick

Delete Broken Links

I would like to know how to delete everything in the broken
links folder. I have a project that has migrated from a Word import
thru a few editors, structure reorganizations, and other nefarious
activities and it is time to clean up the resulting mess. I can't
find a way to just delete the broken links - they no longer
reference anything in the project.
I can't find a procedure to remove or resolve them - the
broken links are irrelevant. Is there a utility that can just
delete the broken links from the project or edit a file outside of
the project?

when I was done. Most of them - about 80 - had No References in the
Broken Link repair window. They stuck there even after exiting and
re-entering the project.
I renamed and rebuilt the .cpd file, came back in, and all
those unreferenced links were gone.
Thanks very much for your quick response! That did the trick!
I made a backup of the *.cpd file, deleted the original,
re-opened RoboHTML and my project, then recompiled it. The few
broken references that I had fixed in the Index keywords were no
longer listed in the Broken Links folder! Yay! Now I just need to
fix the rest of them.

100's of Broken Links

Suddenly, i have 100's of broken links in Itunes and get the "!" beside songs. I have done nothing to the location of the songs on the hard drive, not synced or done anything with itunes in weeks. The only thing done to the computer was to add Parallels and Windows 7 to run Turbo Tax. Some the the broken links are to songs that i have the CD and were downloaded to Itunes, and only one song may have disappeared. Any help would be appreciated.

There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files,
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's
if you review the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.

Broken links that are bookmarks

I have 321 broken links that are bookmarks in a project. I don't need these bookmarks anymore, as I already spend recreating the bookmarks because I could not restore them%$$%$. My question now: is there a more expeditious way of removing the broken links other than individually fixing them (which works)?

No. If your topics contain them, the only way to remove them is to go into the topics and remove them.

Broken Links - Bookmarks

I recently had a lot of broken links in my project - many of
which I was able to fix. The broken links I was unable to fix, or
remove from the list, are bookmarks in the project (95 of them to
be exact.) I test the link, and it is fine - it's not broken. Why
is it showing up in the broken link list? If I try to restore the
link, I'll get an error stating that the "#" character cannot be
used in the path. The "#" character signifies that it's a bookmark,
created by RoboHelp, so I don't know why this is happening. Can
anyone assist?
Thank you,
Danni

If you are linking from the top of the topic to a bookmark in
the same topic, you don't need the filename in the link, but
correct form is with quote marks..
If the bookmark is called bookmark, the link would be
< a href="#bookmark" >Go to the bookmark</a>
(spaces inserted only for display here)
The bookmark itself would be
< a name=bookmark></a>
I hope this is relevant to your problem.

After a crash, lots of audiobooks have somehow moved to Music folder, and links are broken - how can I fix this?

Wow, I'm surprised the forums accepted that long a title.
Anyway, the computer crashed. I started again, and when opening iTunes after the crash ... something happened. There was a prompt that I idiotically didn't write down (Moving Library? Updating Library?), that kept going for hours, and eventually I just gave up and shut it down. That was probably stupid. Also evidence of significant things happening: the next Time Machine backup was 60GB+, so something big had changed.
As best I can tell, lots of my Audiobooks (and I've got MANY) now have broken links - when I look in the "iTunes Media" folder, many of the files that were once in the "Audiobooks" folder are now in the "Music" folder instead. All are still in the same subfolder as before: so audiobook files that were in "Audiobooks / BBC Melvyn Bragg" are now in "Music / BBC Melvyn Bragg", for example. So far I've only found Audiobooks that have been messed up in this way. Music and iTunes U and Podcasts seem to be unchanged, but maybe I just haven't noticed those problems yet.
And obviously I want to fix this.
Note that my iTunes library is set to "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized". All of the organization is what iTunes has done.
Option 1: can I just restore from a Time Machine backup? If so, what should I restore? There have been a few changes in the metadata in the 3-4 days since the crash, but I'm not overly concerned with that.
Option 2: can I just use Finder and move the files back? This would seem the "easiest" option to me. Although lots (hundreds? thousands?) of audiobook files have been moved, they're within only a couple of dozen different folders. Dragging them back into the correct folder would be easy - but what kind of havoc would that wreak on the database system?
Option 3: go through each track and find the file. I can do this. It'll take hours and hours and hours. I don't want to do this.
Slightly different question: how can I make a smart playlist of all the files with broken links? (I'm still trying to get a handle on just how big this problem is.) I've found suggestions about (1) making a smart playlist of everything, (2) dragging all of those into a normal playlist, and (3) making a new smart playlist of whatever's in #1 but not in #2, but that doesn't seem to be working for this situation. Is that advice now outdated, or is there something unique to my situation?
Thanks in advance!

Following up: I went with Option 2 above, and it seems to have worked quite well. I didn't even need to quit iTunes. After the files were moved, the exclamation marks remained at first, until I played the file, or restarted iTunes - now all seems well, until the next crash anyway.

Broken Links in RH8 - More Clarification Please

Dear Experts,
I tried following through the other topics posted relating to this topic, however they all seemed to be different than what i am seeign within my project. I know how to correct borken links (per say) within the folders themselves, however, when in the actual folder "broken links" within the project manager, I cannot seem to delete the links that no longer are needed, or to clearly see if I still need them, its a bit overwhelming, as I moved some information within a project, and (while my application kept crashing - whole different story), each time I re-opened, it didn't seem to clear out the changes I had made through the clear caching as I have as my set up.
Within the PM, if I right click on the broken link, I do not get an option for Explore, I only have the below:
However, when I click on Restore within this dialog box, or even if I select the Show topic Link and try and restore, nothing happens. I tried to fix by going into one of the actual topics and deleting the link and then re-inserting and it and then saving the information, but it still remains. I unfortunately broke the links to actual topics that are utilized throughout the entire project, (like fundamental ones for generic searching and stuff)....so it now created havoc for me, and I just cant seem to get started with just one. I know if I can get one going, I will be able to quickly fix the others, but can't figure it out. (probably right under my nose).

This sounds like there were unsaved changes to your project when the project / PC crashed. As a result RoboHelp has got a bit lost as to what should be there. I think the answer is first of all to close your project backup and then delete your project's cpd file. If the project still displays the broken links, open the individual topic files containing links and ensure they are pointing to the right file. It may be best to reinsert the links. Save as you go and hopefully the broken links will disappear. Let us know how you get on.

Enterprise Manager 9i download links are broken

Hi OTN,
Could you fix the links to download Oracle Enterprise Manager 9i? I'm getting a 404 page not found error, and the suggestions for alternative search areas all take me back to the page with the broken links. Thank you.
Lynne Ray

How about this link:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/ias/devuse_9ias_r2.html
and there some packages just pick up a smaller one. Seems no links for sole EM 9i for Win download. Sites like this sometimes confuses people. Good luck!

I'm getting this error to every file or text I upload in any page group.
Help!!!

Now I feel dumb.. Links are working fine.. I promise they were really broken though.
Thanks, if someone happened to see this and fix it (or happened to talk to the lady I spoke with in tech support).

The documentation links are broken......

This page contains installation, migration, and upgrade documentation as well as product and component release notes. For information on using Oracle Application Server, refer to the Oracle Application Server documentation library. The library is available on another disk in the Oracle Application Server CD-Pack or on the Oracle Technology Network.
This is the exactly text in the installations guides after read and install OAS 9.0.4 (the installation release notes would be integrates in the installation docuement...) in a cold failover cluster (I have installed a lot of things and I don't know what heaven they are for... I haven't seen any guide either in the CD or in documentation pages and all the links to administrator or user guides are broken... also would be great any guides about tunning OAS.
These are so strange things...??? All searchs like 'OracleAS administrator guide' return marketing results and white paper they are absolutly unuseful...
Well... What i need?? just few things....
1.- How to start, stop and monitoring OracleAS. scripts and things like these....
2.- How could I deploy and standar J2EE application in this cluster...
3.- Everything I have installed following oracleAS 10g application guide what it is for... and what i need to start stop (and how) it works whith minimun requierements...
4.- I have installed OAS in the same machine where I have Oracle 9i database (It is so strange thing???) how could I start both at the same times whith my two oracle homes after I have renamed the original oracle to oracle.orig following installation guide.... (two listeneres, two oracle homes, how....)
5.- And where are agents examples for Cold fail over cluster in a sun solaris???
I have spend 5 days and I still doesn't have anything just the database (which documentation is wonderful) Where could I find documentations so wonderful like you have for databases?? or oracleAS are beta releases???

All OracleAS 10g 9.0.4 user guides and documentation are available here:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_04/index.htm
...and the links are working just fine for me. Perhaps you experienced a transient network problem....

Failed to package book for print - now hundreds of links are broken

Hi,
I have a book document with 32 pages (newspaper) locally on my mac. As I always do after finishing my document, I chose to package the book for print, and save it to CC files server. The packaging process never finished, so after 30 minutes I had to force shut-down on InDesign. When re-opening the book file, I discover that ALL the documents has broken links. Some of the links belongs to the master pages, and most are specific to only this document, and they are located in several different folders on my mac. It will take hours to re-locate all of this links for each page.
I think I have been experiencing this before, but miraculously it all changed back to normal. Now, however, a restart of my mac didm´t do anything.
Why is this happening, and do anyone have a quick solution to fix this?
Thank u in advance

Are you talking about what I said - "Seems like in the past, I saved a copy of my book, then packaged the copy for print?"
I thought that was the only way around it. I feel certain I will not make this mistake again. Luckily, most printers I work with prefer pdfs. It's just an insane bug. If it's not a bug, it's a major flaw in the program. People do package books. The option wouldn't be in there if we didn't do it sometimes.

Firefox crashes and all website pages loose their formatting and pictures, and links are broken

I’m currently running Firefox 18.0.1 on a 13” 2011 MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB or RAM that is running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I have been living with this problem for over a year and this same computer has had this problem while running OS X 10.7 and I think even 10.6. The problem also existed with earlier versions of Firefox including versions 17, 16, and possibly 15, it’s been so long I can’t remember.
The problem is that Firefox crashes (or something within Firefox crashes) and the screen “goes white” and by that I mean all the graphics and layout of a page like YouTube disappears and even though the links are there, none of them work. The page is just made up of text and broken links. Reloading the page does nothing so I have to close Firefox and restart it. (No reboot) On relaunch everything is back to normal and may last a few minutes, or it may crash again right away. Generally if I launch Firefox and use it and then go use some other programs, when I come back to Firefox it will then crash. Is this a Java problem? Is this a javascript problem? I really don’t know what it is but it has persisted through several operating systems and different versions of Firefox running on different operating systems. I’m stumped and can’t find anyone who’s ever seen this problem. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated.
I should add that this problem is present on ALL webpages, not just one or a few. Safari works fine on the same machine and visiting the same websites. I have screen caps of the crashed pages but I don't know how to post them here.

Please type about:crashes in the URL bar and provide us with the latest crash ids. Please do not make a screenshot but instead copy and paste. Thanks!
