RoboHelp 10 can't update linked FrameMaker book

TCS 4
Linked FrameMaker book
HTML Help output
When I open a previously working project and go to update the FrameMaker files, the Update and Update All options are greyed out.
A possible culprit is that Windows Update ran automatically while the project was open, and then restarted the machine.
If I Force Update All, RH launches an instance of FM, which doesn't open anything and remains on its startup screen. If FM is already running with the book + .fm files open, another instance of FM starts w/o loading any files. RH then hangs, going into a "Not responding" state in Task Manager.
If I start a new blank project and attempt to link to the FM book, RH launches another blank instance of FM and hangs.
I tried opening the project and exporting the project settings in an .isf file, but RH hangs trying to scan.
i tried relinking the FM book, but RH launches another blank instance of FM and hangs.
i tried deleting the book, but RH hung partially through the deletion.
i tried reinstalling RH. Same behavior.
Is there some file I can delete and/or restore to reacquiant FM and RH?
Note that when Windows Update ran the FM book was open too, and when I subsequently generated/updated the book, some files were listed as missing and some cross-refs were broken. This was fixed by replacing the broken cross-refs. The FM book generated/updated with no errors before the first attempt to update in RH.
Thanks.

Summary
This issue was resolved.
It seems to have been a registry corruption on my machine due to a Windows Update restart that occurred when the Help project and FrameMaker project were open.
The main symptom was that RoboHelp could no longer update the project from the FrameMaker files and was spawning a new instance of FM with each retry, even if FM was already open.
I tried lots of things: opened a new project, restored a backup copy of project, attempted an export of project etc., etc. (see above).
The solution was to:
- revert to a "known good" restore point in Windows (before the auto-update)
- deactivate and uninstall TCS 4
- run Windows Update
- re-install TCS 4
- turn automatic Windows Updates OFF
Everything in FrameMaker and RoboHelp generates properly now.

Updating JUST ONE topic in linked FrameMaker book

I am trying to figure out exactly how the Update, Force
Update, and Update All picks work in the TCS. It seems like
everytime I make even a small change in a linked Frame doc, I slect
Update to synch my help system and then end up losing all of the
manual work I have done in RH!!! :-(
Please Help!

If you have, say, 30 chapters in a FrameMaker book, you can
update the content in RoboHelp by each chapter. That is, you don't
need to update the whole book when you want to update the chapter.
Use "Update" for one document and "Update All" for all FrameMaker
documents/books in RoboHelp project. However, you cannot Update by
HTML topic in RoboHelp. For example, if a chapter in FrameMaker is
converted to 15 topics in RoboHelp, you need to update the whole
chapter.
There is another powerful feature in RoboHelp which helps you
preserve the topics in RoboHelp from any update. Right click on the
FrameMaker document (chapter in a book) and select properties. In
one of the tabs, you can select topics which you don't want to get
updated when you update the Chapter. This feature is powerful
however should be used with caution.
I hope this helps

Error when linking FrameMaker book or document to RoboHelp project (TCS2)

Hi,
I'm trying to link a FrameMaker (9.0p250) book to a RoboHelp (8.0.2.208) project, but get the following error:
"Failed to get any FrameMaker document from C:\.....\myfile.book" / OK
When I select the book file to link and choose [Open] I get an hourglass for a couple minutes then the error above. No wizard or "Scanning..." progress window.
I've tried linking a book from a network drive, from my hard drive, with the book open in FM9 and not open in FM9 (but FM9 itself is open).
Also tried linking an FM9 document and this time got the "Scanning..." progress window then the message:
""myfile.fm" could not be opened. Please verify that FrameMaker is installed and this is a valid FrameMaker document."
This is my first time trying this since installing TCS2, however I was able to link a book file when working with the trial version.
Any idea what may be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Heather

I think this was due to a PC or network issue. After redocking my laptop today I can now link without error.

Lost link to FrameMaker Book

I have my RoboHelp project with a linked FrameMaker book checked into a Mercurial source control repository. The original machine I was working with (XP) was starting to blue screen regularly, so I was given a new Windows 7 64 bit machine.
Having cloned my repository, I opened up the RoboHelp project to find the FrameMaker book link had disappeared, but with the last Update folders for each chapter present. I linked the FrameMaker book again, and this created a new lot of output folders when generating the output (WebHelp). The help system is not picking up the new files, only the existing ones, and I can't seem to delete the old folders.
Anyone else had a similar issue?
Mark

Thank you, Pat.
No, unfortunately, I can't. My old credentials do not work anymore. Some time ago Adobe forums started requiring an email as an only form of a login into the forums. Back then I succesfully 'linked' my old forums ID to the Adobe ID (what is now an only option to get to the forums). But after a breach into Adobe's database and the password reset I've lost a link from my Adobe ID to that old forum ID of mine (witkacy). The only way was to establish a second forum ID (witkacy2). My question is - is there any way to regain the link to my old forum ID to my current Adobe ID.
Thanks again

IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

Hi there,
For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)
Regards, Malcolm

now I have no music in iTunes. Luckily, I'd renamed my iTunes folder, and moved it onto my desktop. I thought it would be a simple matter of replacing the new (empty) iTunes folder with my old one, but this doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me the best was to get my 3,000-odd songs (and the folders/playlists they're in, etc., back into iTunes?
If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.
See these articles about the iTunes library for more information:

RoboHelp 10 Crashes consistently when trying to delete linked FM11 book

I have a linked project where RoboHelp absolutely refuses to display part of a topic and some of the images. So I decided to delete the linked FM book file and start again from scratch (this was a FM10/RH9 project originally). This causes RH to crash consistently. Any ideas?

I thought that moving my project location to a shorter path had solved my Cross references issue, but it hasn't. Here is a page from the Help:
These are all the same Heading style in FM
The X Refs are all to headings within the Current FM file
They are all the same Cross Reference Format (Heading & Page)
Thje Cross Reference conversion setting is set to Para Text in RH
Here is the code for the Graphical Circuit Trace (which doesbn't work) and the Quareo and Analyzer Configuration which does.

Regarding iTunes U courses, would I be able to link to books/sites (like say an amazon hardback book or link to a kindle book they can purchase and download). Considering that not all books are available on iBooks I'm hoping this is allowed.   Also the possibility on monetizing since amazon gives commission for linking.
This question is for both the uncredited (private) courses and the bigger accredited accounts.    I am a developer trying to learn how to help my area schools and also have some ideas for my own courses.    Obviously keeping within the iTunes U app would be preferred in most cases (to the learning experience) since they can take notes and see them within the app itself.
If the reply comes from a non-apple employee please let me know (or better yet, link to) where that is clarified.   I would hate to develop something just to later find out it is against the apple iTunes U agreement.

Fair question
And, to be even more fair, I have to tell you that I get that every single day. And it's getting worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).
I always try to let people know it's a long way until you get to a confortable point, a point where you can create something. And that's exactly what I am trying to do, or at least asking how/if I should do it. And then I let them know where to start. That's what I want.
Thanks.

I clicked on a link in an email that may be spam/phishing. How can I scan my mac book pro for viruses?

You can just download the free ClamXav and scan your entire drive - but as there are no known viruses for OS X (although there is malware - see Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide) it's very unlikely that you have a virus.
The best source against malware is OS X itself and common sense. Don't click on links in suspicious emails and be careful of anything that wants to install something on your computer that is not from a reputable source.

What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support
