"Search for missing links in this folder" doesn´t work anymore

Just upgraded to CS6 for Mac on Snow Leopard and the Search for Missing links function no longer works. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix it?

Is it set in your prefs? It's optional....

Search for Missing Links in This Folder option not working

I'm running InDesign CC 9.2.1, though this problem has persisted throughout the last few years and previous versions of InDesign. My operating system is OS 10.9.3. In early versions of InDesign, you could check the "Search for Missing Links in This Folder" option box when re-linking a missing link and the missing image would be highlighted in the finder window of the new image location. I did not keep track of what version of InDesign it was when this function ceased to work properly, but I would like to see if there is something I can do to make it work again.
The "Search for Missing Links in This Folder" check box is still in the finder window, and is always checked, so in theory it should highlight the missing link/s in the folder it is searching in, but it does not. The example below illustrates my point. The InDesign document that I used to illustrate this was opened up and there were four missing links. When I select the missing link/s and hit the relink button at the bottom of the links palate, I navigate to the correct location of the link but the image doesn't get selected even though the "Search for Missing Links" is checked. The missing link it should have highlighted was 431-11 frontal.psd, which clearly exists at the top of the "Front Street" folder.
This isn't a big deal when the folder contains four images. But when it has hundreds of links, it is a pain to try to find all of the links that are missing when the file name is often truncated, or it has an odd string of only numbers, etc. Just checking to see if anyone has any insight to this issue.

I think the yellow alert triangle next to each link name means that you just have to update those links, by hitting the refresh button at the bottom of the link panel once all links are selected (it's two arrows in a circle)

When Searching for attachments to mail, preview mode doesn't work

When I am in mail and am composing a new email and I click "Attach" to attach a file, the current folder comes up and shows the preview mode of every file type (i.e. pictures and pdf previews). No problems. However, if I then do a search for something (my name for example) to narrow down my choices of files or images to select, the next search level does not show a preview of the files or images, just a .pdf icon or the .jpeg icon - NO PREVIEW. This is extremely frustrating! I tried on different folders and the same results occurred. Any ideas or is this a bug?

Hi Pranava,
I couldn't reproduce this issue, when I create root folder FS0 in "Shared Documents" and start a full crawl, I click the FS0 link from search results page, it will open the FS0 folder as well as folder under FS0.
Please right-click the FS0 name hyperlink (e.g. mine is http://sp/Shared%20Documents/FS0) and paste in IE browser see if it could be accessed successfully.
Also test if other Shared Documents have this issue in other site collection or web applications, if not, run a full crawl may do a trick (please reset search index if only full crawl still doesn't work).
Thanks

Link to a file doesn't work anymore

I repeteadly made this experience: I link some text to a file and upload it via .mac. However, when I change the file, the link doesn't work anymore. Even if I set up the whole thing again and upload it, it doesn't work.
Seems like I get one chance per link and that's it.
Does anyone know how to get the link working again?

I just started using iWeb last night for the first time and ran into the same (or similar) problem. I did it kind of backwards but that shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. I also came across another problem with text which was not supposed to be a hyperlink but ended up being one and one I couldn't turn off.
I created a text field, typed in some text, then made the text an active hyperlink and attached the link to a file. That first one worked OK. Then I copied and pasted that text field about ten times, changed the text slightly and set each text field to another different file link. I then published and tried the links using Safari. The first few links worked fine and the files were automatically downloaded to my downloads folder. However, clicking on the last few links downloaded files from the other previous text links instead of the ones they were supposed to even though the inspector shows the correct files. I even tried doing new text fields and new links but they still don't work correctly.
The other problem is that I created some more text fields to be used as descriptions for the file downloads by copying a hyperlinked text field. I realized after the copies were made and I had spent some time changing the text that these text fields carried over the linked hypertext attribute. Since I didn't want to type everything out again from scratch, I just turned off the hypertext link attribute in the inspector. However, after I saved the web site and then published the site, I discovered that the text was still linked to a file download. I went back into iWeb and that hypertext checkbox was now checked. I turned it off several times but every time I publish, it turns it back on by itself.
I am going to create the entire page over again from scratch and try the method of dragging files from the finder to initially create the link (got that from the help file).
Also it would be nice to have better/more file download features in iWeb such as being able to access a file picker where the web user could select files s/he wanted to download instead of requiring one button per file. Also, some way to automatically compress into one download a selection of several files.

When I click on a link, the BACK button doesn't work anymore in Windows 7. I've tried multiple settings, even TabMixPlus, but no luck. Why doesn't it keep track of pages so I can go back to where I started?

I am using 3.6.15 and tried version 4 to no avail.

Do you have McAfee Site Advisor installed? See http://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/753639
I'd also advise you to update to v3.6.16 because the version you're running right now is a security risk. Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.

HT204081 I want to browse by a specific language, but it doesn't work anymore. Cannot connect to the store. Help needed!

Hi,
I've had this problem for maybe a month or so.
It's not that I can't buy books off of the itunes store, however, whenever I try to search for a book by language it doesn't work anymore. It simply says ''cannot connect to the store''. I tried doing it on both my phone and ipad, but got the same answer. How can I fix this problem?

I'm not sure if I'm understanding but if I am then I'm not sure why you are turning your Wi-Fi off and on. It should automatically connect and use your Wi-Fi when it is available and use your cellular data connection when Wi-Fi is not available. I haven't turned either off ever. However, more to the point of your current problem, the following has some troubleshooting steps that may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Internet links doesn't work anymore within my Outlook

My internet links within my Outlook doesn't work anymore when I click on the link (I got a system problem). Anyone who knows what settings I need to do?
Thanks

That being the case, I think the default setting must be corrupted. See here on how to reset: http://www.msoutlook.info/question/706
Or open control panel, go to Default Programs, and then Default settings. Change the file association for Interner Explorer. See if that works

Time Machine Just Doesn't Work Anymore

I was a happy Time Machine (with Time Capsule) user for months. But it just doesn't work anymore. It takes longer than an hour to do every hourly backup so it is backing up 24 hours a day. It finds hundreds of thousands of files changed every hour and tries to back them up. Finders says only tens of files have been modified all of today. I have tried rebuilding my spotlight indexes, repairing my Time Capsule with Disk Utility and starting over with a brand new backup. But it just backs up hundreds of thousands of files every hour. So I am turning off Time capsule since it is clearly broken. If anyone has any suggestions at all I would welcome them.

Marcia,
Consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412)
If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can created major changes in the structure of your directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
*TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
*Backups WAY Too Large*
If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
*FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
Let us know if any of this helps.
Cheers!

Su doesn't work anymore but sudo works

Hi all,
I normally use my standard user account but when I'm installing with macports I routinely "su" into root to do things.
Today I went on my machine and noticed that "su" wouldn't work. Before anyone decides to tell me that I don't need to use "su", I realize that but I use it for my own purposes.
From the system log I am seeing this each time "su" fails:
su[1376]: pam_authenticate: Permission denied
What is interesting is that doing a "sudo su" works, and I'm able to do all of my admin duties that way.
I have a feeling something messed up my bash profile but not totally sure. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Hi all,
Thanks for the help on this issue.
I'll clarify: I'm using this install as a server and this is why I have 2 admin accounts on it. The original account is my own; the one I created when I first installed OS X. I then enabled System Admin (root) so that is the other admin account. After installing MacPorts I have been running the system as a multi-user webserver. I occasionally log in as root to do maintenance and upgrades. I have found that it's easier to use the SysAdmin account in certain situations because of permissions issues and ease of installing upgrades.
I'll often log in under my username and then su to root. Recently (yesterday) I noticed that "su" didn't work anymore when I used my normal username.
There are sometimes that I will log onto the machine as System Admin and usually via the terminal (console) I can log in as any of the other accounts by doing
su <username>
this also doesn't work anymore. I get the error:
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
I have two servers set up this way. One works the way it should, the other one has this problem. The only difference I can see is in roots bash profile but I'm not sure why they are different on each machine.
Also when logged in as System Admin, I should be able to turn off "allow user to administer computer" on my regular account but it's grayed out. On the other similarly configured machine, under the same conditions, I can. I'm not sure why I can do it on one and not the other.
I've tried turning off enable root via Directory Utility but that didn't fix the issue.

When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

Searching for missing files, using PSE6

After I have transfered a batch of photos using the -file -get photos -From files and folders, the thumbnails appear in " Organizer" but when I want to look at the photos in full screen they come up unclear and a dialogue box comes up ," searching for missing files" I then click on "browse" and the folder from which i have transfersd the photos, in "My Pictures" is not shown in the list. I have done this with an other folder of photos and it is also not shown in the list, as if they have dissapeared. The folders are still in " My Pictures"
I am totally frustrated with trying to get past first base with this program I have spent many hours trying to find a solution

It sounds like you may be encountered one of the drive-handling bugs in PSE. To diagnose that, download and run the free utility "psedbtool":

Search for broken links to images

Is there an efficient way to search for broken links to
images?

Hi there
I'm not sure if you are meaning to ask about links inside
topics that point to images that you are popping up or linking to
outright or if instead, you mean that some of the images that are
supposed to be displayed inside topics are maybe missing and you
wish to know about them.
One easy way to spot a missing image reference is by using
the Project Manager. Not sure if you are using RoboHelp 7, 8 or
older here, but if on 7 or 8 look in the Project Manager pod.
Otherwise it will be found on the left panel of the application.
Expand the Images pseudo folder and quickly scan the list of images
and expand sub folders inside. Any missing image should be listed
with a red x to indicate the status. You may then examine the image
properties to see which topic(s) is/are still referencing it.
Cheers... Rick

Searching for missing column names in a single database.

I have a database with about 100 tables, database gets generated using entity framework. The application has been enhanced so users deployed with older version of the application need to upgrade to newer version. The database generated is both versions
is same name.
Now, the older version is missing some tables and column names that are in new database.
Is there a script that can search for missing fields in a single database as described in this situation?
Below is my script. Basically, nameofdatabase would the database generated and that already existing. If you install the application and database already exits no new database will be created.
SELECT * FROM (Select TABLE_CATALOG, Table_name,COLUMN_NAME FROM nameofdatabase.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS) a FULL OUTER JOIN (SELECT TABLE_CATALOG, Table_name,COLUMN_NAME FROM nameofdatabase.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS) b ON b.COLUMN_NAME=a.COLUMN_NAME and
a.TABLE_NAME=b.TABLE_NAME WHERE b.COLUMN_NAME is null or a.COLUMN_NAME is null ;
