Safari CSH fails when linking to bookmark

We've discovered an issue in Safari 2.x.x.
When a MapID links to a bookmark in a topic, any CSH links to
that MapID fail and the content pane in WebHelp returns a 404.
I've searched and found one reccomendation to replace the #
sign with a ?, but the poster's response claimed that had no
effect. I couldn't find any technotes on the issue on Adobe.com
Is there a solution, or is this a known issue? If it's a
known issue, we'll have to drop RH altogether. This is yet another
of may WebHelp bugs that is causing us too much gried to justify
continuing to use the product.

Hello Paul -
IIRC, linking from one project to another project topic
bookmark (bookmark within a WebHelp topic) doesn't work.
Anyone else recall this general discuss from some time ago?
Regards,
GEWB

  • Why does the new OS X update cause Safari to freeze when adding a bookmark?

    Just installed the latest OS X update and now every time I attempt to add a bookmark Safari freezes (Not Responding) and the color wheel just spins and spins until I force the program closed. OS X 10.9.5 / MacMini

    Try installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 combo update.

  • No synch choice in safari. So how do I synch my bookmarks in safari to firefox when the synch icon firefox says you have to use does not exist in safari.

    no synch choice in safari. So how do I synch my bookmarks in safari to firefox when the synch icon firefox says you have to use does not exist in safari?
    I cannot set up synch with bookmarks in safari since there is no synch icon in preferences in safari.

    This is crazy. The directions on firefox keep telling you to go to links that do not exist to import bookmarks from safari.
    For example, it says;
    Firefox imports Safari settings automatically. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too.
    BUT THERE IS NO IMPORT LINK UNDER FILES ON FIREFOX!
    Then I tried to add a device. I got the code but the continue link was not on ever. I tried it over and over and it does not work.
    WHO MAKES THIS SYSTEM??? How can something that should be so simple be so impossible, and why does Firefox direct you to links that do not exist or, if they exist, do not work!
    Thanks,

  • Safari stops responding when I try to bookmark (and other slow problems!)

    Two weeks ago my logicboard died, so I sent my ibook out to Apple for it to be fixed. Ever since I got it back this past Tuesday, my Safari has been extremely slow, but nothing else is wrong with my computer. Here are the problems:
    - The biggest issue is that Safari stops responding when I try to make a bookmark. The popup appears to select the bookmark's destination and to enter the name, but when you hit ok, the rainbow wheel comes up and it stops responding, so I have to reset Safari, and now I can't make new bookmarks at all.
    - It lags when it tries to open new windows, especially new tabs.
    - If a new page loads that scrolls at all, and then I try to scroll down, the wheel appears for several seconds until it can load the rest of the page. It's as though it gets stuck before it can scroll.
    - Sometimes when typing, it will also start to lag behind my typing speed, or if I try to click on a new field, it will not immediately allow me to type on occasion.
    All these things have never happened before I sent it out. I have reset my cache, and I have tried entering the open DNS addresses in my networks, which has improved loading speed, but hasn't fixed any of these problems. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I can fix anything?

    Try verifying the hard disk.
    Boot from your restore disk while holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the C key. You'll see an Installation window, select English. From the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Verify. If DU reports errors, click Repair. If Disk Utility cannot repair the disk you have several options. One is DiskWarrior or
    TechToolPro If Disk Utility can repair any errors, go back to the Menu Bar, click Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    If you don't have a restore disk, try booting into Safe Mode

    osx 10.7.4   safari 6.0  When I add a new bookmark to the "bookmarks menu" it is added somewhere in the middle instead of at the end of the list.  This just started a few days ago after an update.  Has anyone else noticed this?.

    Just for those who are interested, this is what cleared the "bookmark menu"  trbl I had.
    Open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Bookmarks, then reselect it.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark again.

  • When I open bookmarks the actual sites sometime do not show just the black screen with the safari icon while others show the actual site how can I see the actual content

    I use Safari Mt Lion and when I view Bookmarks, the entire list of bookmarks show uo but on the display portion only the black screen witht the Safari icon shows while other bookmarks show the actual photo of what that bookmark is so unless I click on the bookmark on the blank ones I can not see what it is, it is inconvient because I have hundreds of bookmarks and I can not remember what I was bookmarking it for unless I can see it

    Hi
    I understand  - sorry to have missed your point before now.
    Some sites don't display those previews in safari - secure pages (https) for one, and also sites that are redirected.
    Taking the example in your screenshot, the site http://fabulouslyartsy.blogspot.com/ actually redirects to http://www.fabulouslyartsy.com/ and Safari (rather annoyingly) doesn't 'follow' the redirection & show the appropriate preview. See the image below - the blank preview is for the blogspot address, and the one visible to the right is from going directly to the site.

  • HT3204 I got a reading of "secure link to iTunes store failed" when I ran a diagnostic "network connectivity" test. What's wrong and how do I fix it? I am indeed unable to connect to the store.

    Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong when I try to connect to the iTunes store? I got a message "secure link to iTunes store failed" when I ran a diagnostic "network connectivity" text. What's wrong?
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Error code: 3194 when restoring.. "Secure link to iTunes store failed" when diagnostics is ran..

    as mentioned in the title, I have encountered 2 errors, one is when I am trying to restore my iphone and the other when iTunes diagnotics feature is ran..
    I have read the information about the diagnostics result and saw something like "connection attempt to firmware update server unsuccessful". Because of this information I have concluded that the "error code 3194" happens because iTunes itself is unable to connect to the "firmware update server".
    I am using Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes is now on the latest version.
    below are the things I have done so far, but to no avail:
    - removed/disabled my antivirus program
    - put iTunes to exception list of WIndows Firewall
    - disabled windows firewall and windows defender
    - re-installed iTunes and made sure that it is of the latest version (version 10.6.1)
    - performed recommendation from: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17409780#17409780
    - perform flush dns command using command prompt
    In addition to the steps I mentioned, I also tried running the diagnostics on two other computers running on different versions on iTunes, 10.5 and 10.6.0. I also did the same steps as above on these two computers, but I am getting the "secure connection to iTunes store failed" when the diagnostics were ran.
    thanks for any help that you can give.

    I think its weird that I experienced both the 3194 error code and "secure link to the itunes store failed" diagnostics error on three computers running on different OS (XP, vista and 7), itunes version and connectivity types (wireless and cabled). Could it be possible that there is a problem on Apple's server?
    Are you still there, shintenhouji?
    Perhaps try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (I've seen a few cases in recent times of this sort of thing being associated with LSP issues.)

  • Safari crashing when adding new bookmarks.

    Ive been having an issue with my iMac ( Its a 21.5-inch, late 2009) Yesterday evening while using Safari it crashed when i tried to add a new site to the bookmarks menu. At first i didn't think anything of it and tried to do it again, the same thing happened. Its been doing it every time i try to do it no matter what site i go onto but nothing else seems to be affected.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Clicking on document link opens Safari, but Safari doesn't open link

    For some time -- even before upgrading to OS10.8 -- I've been having an issue with Safari. I receive links in emails or other documents, click on them, and when Safari opens, it fails to load the link. Sometimes I see the URL appear in the address bar for a moment, but it vanishes and I am left with a blank "Untitled" Safari page. If I then click on the email (or other) reference link again -- now with Safari open -- everything works fine. I've not seen this reported as a problem by anyone else so am wondering if I have a software conflict. There are two programs running from within Safari, one is 1Password (although that requires a manually entered password to open) and the other is Norton Identity. Perhaps one of those is a culprit. Anyone else seen this behavior?

    More than likley, Norton is the culprit. Norton software has caused so many Mac users problems over a long period of time.
    Results from an Apple Support Communities search for Norton > Community Search: Apple Support Communities
    Follow the instructions at the Symantec/Norton site for uninstalling Norton Identity.
    As for one 1Password. Using the pre installed Apple native Keychain Access utility is much better to use than third party. Keychain Access is located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
    Remove Norton Identidy first, restart your Mac and try opening a link from email to test.

  • Safari 5.1.2 links stop working

    While working in a Internet site I will click on a link and Safari does not respond, no errors, no nothing. I have Firefox and Opera on my MacBook Pro and they also fail in the same manner. I have checked that all software is up to date, clear the cache and use reset in Safari repair permissions and so on.
    Now if I try the same websites that are failing to respond on my Mac on a Windows 7 laptop running IE8 it works as it should, no problems. I have also seen Safari fail when trying to login into an Internet site, input my username and password click enter and nothing...
    MacBook Pro (late 2008) 2.4Mgh, 8GB of ram, 500GB hard drive running MAC OS X 10.7.2 and Safari 5.1.2

  • Safari 4 fails to start

    Hi.
    I just installed Safari 4 on my work PC. When launching the application it crashes immediatelly. In the Application Event viewer the following is collected:
    Faulting application safari.exe, version 4.530.17.0, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.1433, fault address 0x000172d7.
    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    I'm running Windows XP PRO SP3. Dell Latitude, Intel Core2 Duo, 2GB RAM. I have latest iTunes (v8.2.0.23) and Quicktime (7.6.2 build 515) installed on the same PC, both working fine.
    I've tried to uninstall and re-install -> same result.
    Any ideas?

    One thing worth to mention. I did install Safari 3 on my PC way back but I removed it after short usage as it was not really working for me. It crashed frequently and after a short while I un-installed it.
    I tried again to un-install Safari 4. This time I also searched Regedit for Safari keyword and removed (almost) all occurrences. I left out those that did not apply to the software itself. Note however that I did remove the link from MobileMe and all references by the windows installer. Seems like Apple is not cleaning properly as the Registry is full of Safari references after the un-install.
    I also removed all folder and files that related to Safari install. This includes Program Files, Common Files and Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple.
    Once I had removed all occurrences from Regedit I re-installed Safari 4.
    This does not resolve the issue. Safari still fails to start.

  • I enter the code from the iPhone on my desktop, it authorizes the iPhone which syncs tabs but stops when it hits bookmarks and says "incorrect sync key".

    My previous question said "add a device" went to help and there was no place to input the code for a new device - was using Firefox 3 and found it in Firefox 4 Beta - BUT - the sync still fails when it finishes tabs and starts bookmarks and same thing comes up as before: "incorrect sync key".

    Thanks Amitshree
    I did go to those Links but again it's still not working so I need a little more assistance because although it says it is synced I see none of my bookmarks on my new laptop.
