Selecting DITA domains in FrameMaker 8

I have looked for ways to select the appropriate DITA domains in FrameMaker 8 but have not found anything in the Help or on the online Adobe resources. In other editors, I can select domains (or rather, suppress some of them) so that my list of applicable elements is filtered to what is useful in my context.
Does anybody know whether this feature of suppressing domains is available at all in FM 8 ?
Thanks for any advice.

Hi Jang...
With FM, the content model is defined by the EDD (and DTD) of the selected structure application. For ease of use, the default DITA Topic structure application is based on the ditabase.dtd which includes all of the DITA domains. If you want to strictly focus on a specific domain (set of elements), you'd need to develop your own structure application that is based on the model you want to work with. If you do this, then you switch between these domains by selecting the associated structure application when opening a file.
Note that with DITA, the Topic, Map, and Book structure applications are also set in the DITA Options dialog. These apps are used when FM opens a DITA file through the course of automatically resolving a reference (topicref, conref, xref) since there is no opportunity to manually select the application to use. If you do develop domain-specific apps, you'll probably have a bit of extra work because you'll need to change these apps in Options as well.
If you just want to reduce the number of elements (or eliminate specific domains from the "Topic" content model), you can modify the EDD to eliminate these elements. This will make it so these elements are not exposed as being available when authoring in FM. If you do make modifications to the default EDD (or other application files) it is strongly recommended that you clone the apps to create new application names of your own. This way, *when* you mess something up (and you will .. we all do) you'll be able to refer back to a fully functional app.

  • Cannot find DITA application in FrameMaker 8

    I am trying to start a DITA project in FrameMaker 8, and all tutorials and help docs tell me to choose an application via the DITA menu. If I open the DITA options and try to select an application, there is NOTHING there. Also, I do not find the DITA folder in the structured examples and templates. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here ?
    FYI, I got FrameMaker 8 as part of the Technical Communication Suite and reinstalled the product yesterday, just to make sure everything is there. There was no dialog with options where I could choose which parts of FrameMaker to install, so I am not aware of having disabled the DITA support in my installation.
    If there is a DITA support package that I need to install, please point me to the location where I can download it. I cannot browse the installation DVD, as everything is wrapped in package files.
    Thanks in advance for quick replies.

    Hi Scott,
    Thanks for the idea of uninstalling first, then removing the whole FM8 directory, then rebooting (otherwise, the installer thinks it is still running) and finally reinstalling. That worked. Of course, when uninstalling, all add-ons that were later installed with FM8 would have to be redone after a clean install.
    Fortunately, I work on a virtual PC on a Mac, and I have first made a copy of the entire machine. All I had to do after reinstalling FM8 on the copy was to move the extra files to the original virtual machine. Now the DITA menu shows more interesting options than before...
    Oh well, it keeps us off the streets... ;-)

  • Business Management Error: You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that does not exist. Select another domain logon and try again.

    Hello,
    Suddenly the working CRM is being stopped for some group of users.
    I drilled down to the issue and have checked that the users from Domain in which CRM is installed are having CRM access.
    But for other domain user having problem to access CRM.
    I tried to add a user from a domain which is not of CRM domain then it gives following error.

    Please help as the Production CRM is not working for other domain user.

    We have Activer Directory Structure like below.
    One Root Domain says A
    and there are multiple child domain like B,C,D etc...
    B,C and D are all in same level,they are child of A domain.
    There are two way transitive trusts between A and all the child Domain.
    But there is no trust in between B and C and so on.
    Our CRM server is in B domain and B domain's user can access CRM but users of Domain C,D and so on can not access CRM.

  • About Dita feature for Framemaker 10?

    Hi guys,
    I am considering to purchase the ATCS 3.0 to meet my customer's new request. As I am a fresh man to the Framemaker and other Adobe products, some bellow questions might be stupid:)
    1. I could not find the Dita menu in the menubar in the trial version for Framemaker 10. And the import menu item is also unvailable. But they were there in the demonstration video. I am not sure if it is an complimentary feature. Please refer to the attached image.
    2. The second quetion is about Dita to PDF and Webhelp. Our customer handoff the Dita source file without any style file fot the output. The only thing I got is the previous output PDF or Webhelp and they just want to leverage the style. Could anybody be so kind to provide some suggestions about how to generate a style template file according to these generated output files? My understanding is that it takes much time if we want to write a template file one by one to meet the output format requirements.
    3. The third question is about how to convert the FM files in lower version like FM8 or lower into Dita files. My understanding is the Dita files are XML-based content without style. So the key point here is how to seperate the FM files to Dita and some other style-control files.
    Appreciate all of your help in advance! 

    1.
    The Import menu is only available if a document is already open. To import in the sense of opening documents in foreign formats, use File > Open, and set the filter to "All files". When you open a file, you'll be prompted to select a filter for import.
    FM comes in two flavours, "FrameMaker" and "Structured FrameMaker". The DITA menu is only available in Structured FrameMaker. You can switch to Structured FrameMaker in File > Preferences > Interface.
    2.
    From what you wrote, it appears that your customer has already published some DITA content. Do they really need another publishing solution, or do they just want their existing FM documents to be converted to DITA?
    If you want to publish with FrameMaker, there's no alternative to creating a template and structure-based formatting rules.
    3.
    You can set up a conversion table. A conversion table assists you in converting formatted text and frames based on their format tags to structure elements. The better your conversion table matches your format-based document structure, the less manual cleanup work will remain.
    However, conversion already requires a structure application, i.e. an EDD (kind of a DTD counterpart in FrameMaker) and a template. You can use the DITA structure application that comes with FrameMaker. Depending on your requirements, you may have to customize the EDD and read/write rules of the structure application. The template shouldn't matter unless you want to use FrameMaker to publish DITA XML.

  • Where can I find trainning for DITA xml using FrameMaker in my region

    Hey,
    I'm planning on to move from unstructured FrameMaker to structured using DITA xml.

  • Why can't I block google's cookies? Everytime I select their domain to be blocked, their cookies STILL show up when I check 'Show Cookies.' Not cool..

    I've done -both- selecting & blocking the domain name of Google for prefs, etc from it's website AND using the Firefox security options page and typing in Google's domain name then selecting it to remove its cookies. But every time I check the "Show Cookies" tab, google is STILL there in the cookie list even after I've done all this stuff. What must I do, what secret domain name must I type to ensure Google doesn't track me?
    I'm already using DuckDuckGo as my sole search engine so there is NO reason why google should be able to attach cookies to me as I am NOT USING GOOGLE. Please help.
    Thank You!
    EarthGrrl

    I believe I have found the problem AND solution
    From another forum, someone suggested that the cookies.sqlite file may be at fault, it is (normally) found in:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxx.default
    What I did was rename the file by appending a ".X" to the name in case I needed it again. The renamed file is cookies.sqlite.X . Note that you have to exit Firefox to rename the file. When Firefox is started again, a new cookies file will be created with no cookies.
    This may be a PITA if you have or need a lot of cookies for your frequently visited web sites but it did eliminate the Google cookie.
    Remember to have your settings in the Tools>Options>Privacy for history set to "Use custom settings for history" set according to your preferences.
    NONE of the previous "answers" worked for me but I hope this works for you. It worked for me.

  • How does AGPM select a domain controller?

    Hi all,
    My apologies if this is common knowledge or available somewhere, can't seem to find it.
    Looking to understand how AGPM works.
    If I Import from... production, or Control a GPO.  Which domain controller does AGPM select from?  Does it behave like GPMC and use the PDC Emulator?  Does it pick from the site the AGPM server resides on?
    Same question when I Deploy a GPO.  Which domain controller does it deploy to?
    I ask this because when I edit a policy, I see a domain controller that certainly isn't PDC Emulator.  This makes sense given that we aren't editing a production GPO, just curious to see what's going on behind the scenes.  I'm assuming there isn't
    a way to say 'Deploy to this specific Domain Controller'.
    Also, going to bring this up in every AGPM post I make; where is the PowerShell support for AGPM?  Does it exist?  This is a very poor showing, and will be very limiting...
    Thanks!

    AGPM operates alongside a
    Group Policy Central Store and thus the production location from which it can control policies or to which it can deploy policies is located in the Central Store in the SYSVOL folder on the server on which
    the AGPM Server is installed. See the
    Technical Overview of AGPM.

  • Cannot select proper domain for group services

    Hello-
    I have a working LDAP/Mail/WWW setup with all OS X servers. I'm trying to setup group services (mailing lists in particular) on our domain. I have created a group, when when I go to the "Enable the following services for this group on" dropdown, I don't see the domain I'm looking for. I see all kinds of other ones (about 50) that we do web hosting for.
    Anyone know why I can't see my domain?

    After more oddities, I believe to have it fixed.
    Deleting and re-creating the Sites in ServerAdmin did make the hosted sites selectable as wiki servers, however the choice didn't stick.
    The system log gave me this at every save operation in the Web Services Module in ServerAdmin:
    <pre>servermgr_web: Failure saving group services update</pre>
    I believe the Global UID of the webservices in the server's apple-serviceinfo LDAP attribute was never updated from a move of the server to newer hardware and an OD merge operation.
    I am not sure which of my actions lead to success and I am not free to experiment, but here is what I did:
    Upgraded apache from v.1.3 to v.2.2 in the WebServices Module
    Located the apple-serviceinfo attribute for the $FQDN using Inspector in WorkGroupManager
    located a custom port assignment (8008 for an old virtualhost) and changed it to 80
    deleted all virtualhosts in ServerAdmin
    recreated all virtualhosts in ServerAdmin using FQDN in servername and description
    enabled Collaboration Services on all virtualhosts
    Re-enabled the new virtualhosts as wikiservers for their respective groups
    The auto-created GUID (global identifier) of the server is:
    <pre>1F72EE26-32FA-4DC4-921D-13561C188C63</pre>
    The auto-created GUID (global identifier) in the server's serviceinfo entry (part of section for virtualhost shown) is now:
    <pre>
    <key>9EC33DDF-FDEG-4444-8090-B8B559EE2042</key>
    <dict>
    <key>hostDescription</key>
    <string>server.domain.net</string>
    <key>hostDetails</key>
    </pre>
    This corresponds exactly to one ServicesLocator entry of that group:
    <pre>1F72EE26-32FA-4DC4-921D-13561C188C63:9EC33DDF-FDEG-4444-8090-B8B559EE2042:w iki

  • Active Directory error message "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location forestB\username

    Hello Community
        "forestA" is my forest it is a Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition
    domain controller using Active Directory and the UI.
        In my forest ("forestA") trust relationship I created a "One-Way, Out-going"
    forest trust with Forest-Wide authentication so that a different forest user(s) or
    group(s) with a different admin in a forest named “forestB” can access the resources in my “forestA”
        But also forestB needs to create a "One-way, Incoming" forest trust so that
    I can either add the user(s) or group(s) from “forestB” into to a "Global Security - Group"
    in my "forestA" or I can
     add user(s)  as  "domain user(s)" from “forestB” into my "forestA".
        The problem is that when I right click  the global group in my forestA  and then
    properties, when I click "Members" and then the "Add" button when I type
    "forestB\username" I get an error message from Active Directory stating:
        "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location
    dialog box, and is therefore not valid: forestB\username".
        Am I doing something wrong when creating the one-way trust in my
    “forestA” or is the one-way trust being created wrong by the other domain admin in the other “forestB”?
        Or could I possibly need to select "Change Domain" or "Change Domain Controller"
    before adding the users or Groups to my forestA from forestB?
        That is why I am asking
     how do you add an Active Directory user from one forest into another forest?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    Hello Denis Cooper
        That is the end result.
        What I was trying  to do was that I was trying to
     bring in the user(s) and group(s) from “forestB”  into
    my “forestA”  Global group.
        Later on I was going to add the user(s) or Global groups(s) that I brought into my dc in my forestA
     into the domain local groups  on my member servers in my forestA.
        So since the error message is:
    "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location dialog box, and is therefore not valid: forestB\username".
    Does your response
     mean only Global group(s) from forestB not domain user(s) from forestB have
     to been added to domain local groups in forestA?
    Or is it also possible to add Global group(s) from “forestB” to Global group(s) in my “forestA” and if so
    how without getting the above error message?
    Thank you
        Shabeaut

  • What is the right CMS for FrameMaker 11 and DITA?

    Hello,
    I am looking for a good CMS for FrameMaker 11. I already tried componize for Alfresco, but it does not solve our problems. Some important requirements are:
    - comfortable editor which can be easily used by authors without XML/DITA/FrameMaker-knowledge
    - creating DITA-imagemaps (CMS editor)
    - creating DITA-templates without special knowledge or using FrameMaker-templates without problems
    In componize it was possible to download DITA-maps and open them in FrameMaker. But I don`t know how to format a whole DITA-map in FrameMaker - is it possible? Because it wouldn´t be very comfortable to format every single topic by using an EDD..
    Another idea was to import the whole DITA-map to RoboHelp for formatting, but it didn`t work because of a missing DITA Open Toolkit-Folder? I did download DITA Open Toolkit, but I was not able to install it. Why do I need this for RoboHelp and not for FrameMaker?
    And for the templates: is there an easy way to create FrameMaker-DITA-templates? I read a lot about EDDs, R/W-rules and DTDs but it seems to be very complicated for non-experts to create all these different documents. And there are less help documents like demonstration videos to learn it on my own.
    For me it seems to be like "before you are able to work with RoboHelp-FrameMaker-Templates-Outputs-CMS, learn a lot of programming languages and become an IT-specialist." - so very complicated, not comfortable, not intuitively.
    A lot of questions, maybe some of you have some good ideas and solutions! Thanks

    A CMS (content management system) is used for storing, retrieving, and managing files. Some CMS products are specialized for DITA. But they don't usually come with the ability to create and edit maps and topics. For that, you need a DITA editor. FrameMaker is a pretty good DITA editor (especially with the DITA-FMx plugin from Leximation).
    DITA maps don't need formatting.  They're simply organized collections of DITA topics. The topics do need formatting in order to deliver outputs.  FrameMaker can format them for print or PDF output, and is exceptionally good for this purpose. It can't directly format DITA for other outputs. For this, FrameMaker and many other products rely on the DITA-OT, which can format DITA for many outputs, such as CHM, Eclipse, or JavaHelp (and also PDF, but without the same power as FrameMaker).  
    To format the topics for page output, FrameMaker uses an EDD.  All DITA topics are formatted using the same EDD, and Frame does this "behind the scenes"  so you usually don't have to worry about it (although you can make custom adjustments to the EDD if you want).
    If you are using DITA, it's a good idea to install the DITA-OT and get it working with other products. There's a Yahoo group called dita-users where you can get help with this.
    As an alternative to the DITA-OT, you might want to look at DITA2Go or DITA4Publishers.

  • Can open Topics by drag & drop, but not by double-clicking in the DITA map

    Hi,
    evidently I made an error somewhere in my structure app, the result is that I cannot open DITA topics by double clicking them in the DITA map anymore (Framemaker does simpy nothing). I can, however, open them by dragging the xml files onto the Framemaker window.  If I use the standard DITA 1.2 application everything works fine so I guess the problem is in my mapping.
    Here is what I tried to achieve:
    We need certain variations of the normal 'topic' type topic. The DTD should be identical, however different structures should be auto-inserted when creating a topic and the topic should have certain attribute values predefined.
    The idea is that the author can select one of these topic types when creating a topic, but when opening an existing topic simply edit it with the standard topic temple.
    Here is what I did:
    I duplicated the topic.template.fm, renaming it say "topic_a.template.fm", "topic_b.template.fm" etc. (just an example).
    I made adjustments to the EDD of these templates, changing the auto-insertions and the default values of some attributes.
    In the structapps.fm file I added XML applications for these new topic types, mapping each application to one of the new templates, but to the original topic DTD and r/w rules. E.g. the application "DITA_1.2_topic_a" is mapped to the "topic_a.template.fm" template, and to the original "topic.dtd" and "topic.rules.txt" files.
    In Framemaker I then created corresponding application mappings in the DITA options. E.g. the topic type "A" (which defines the visible text in the "New topic" menu) is maped to the XML application "DITA_1.2_topic_a".
    The result:
    It works as intended in every way when creating topics. The topics are saved with the standard doctype 'topic'. However for when I try to open topics from the DTD by double-clicking then nothing happens. Opening topics by drag & drop works fine though and they are opened with the normal (general) "topic.template.fm" template as desired.
    Any ideas? Was this confusing or am I completely off somewhere?
    Robert

    Hi Robert...
    When you say that you need "variations" from the normal topic type .. are those structural variations or just formatting? FM associates structure apps with XML files based on the doctype (root element). If your files all have the same root element, then they will all open with the same structure application (unless you specify a different one when opening the file or by importing a new EDD). It sounds like you really should be creating a specialization for each alternate topic type. If you don't, you'll end up getting the wrong "model" assigned to the wrong file.
    Multiple EDDs (structure apps) can share the same DTD, and one EDD (structure app) can support multiple models. This is how the "ditabase" app works. There are lots of ways to set this up, but I think what you've done is probably not quite right.
    The default structure app setup in FM11 and FM12 is very complicated to work with. I recommend creating a single app that supports many models. This isn't always possible, but it sounds like in your case it should be. I've set up one app that supports 13 different specialized topic models and it works fine.
    Note that even though you've added structure apps for each model, if you end up opening the files using the default template, you are no longer using those modified models.
    Sorry, but this is a bit more than can be dealt with appropriately in a forum post. If you'd like more help with this, feel free to contact me off list.
    Cheers,

  • Multiple (but separate) domain problem & Apple's slow and useless response

    I am having problem with multiple (but separate) domain. I opened a ticket.
    Here is Apple's slow and useless response and my follow up.
    This follow up is not going to resolve the issues I am having. The sites are not in one domain file. I have split them into separate domains. I found that the simplest change to any page made the publishing process extremely and reasonably slow. If I updated a single site, iWeb republishes the whole conglomeration; hardly the most efficient way.
    I have several directories under the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory with separate Domain.sites2 files for each site:
    consultingAM.com
    DarkAssassinMovie.com
    Fuzzy Llama Junior Optimist Club
    GulfportOptimist.com
    OptimistView
    pAwesomeProductions.com
    www.nfdoi.com
    With the previous version of iWeb, I navigated to a specific ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory, selected the Domain.site file, and opened it. This would open iWeb with the selected domain. Several of the sites have their blog page with the RSS subscribe option.
    Once I made the update, all I usually had to do was publish site and all was well. Occasionally, I would have to do a publish all if I changed domains. All in all, I had no problems with publishing once I found the right steps to be able to maintain multiple domains.
    Now, using the default publish or publish all process, all I get is the last site I published. In order to get things semi-functional, I published a site, then I would go to iDisk/Web/Sites/ directory, select the folder name for the site I had just published, then copy it or move it to iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb directory. This was rather slow and I suspect it is not an approved solution, but it semi-worked. My sites are back up, but they are not fully functional.
    Is there anyway to get back to using the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory (separate Domain.sites file for each site) process to publish multiple sites? If not, is there any way to suck in the various domains back into one? If that is possible, will it take hours to publish the combined 2-3GB like it did with the previous version?
    How do I reverse the 'personal domain' process? I do not want to do this at this time. I just wanted to see what the steps were. I have done the first step, but not the second.
    I was glad to see some of the changes made in the upgrade (web widgets, maps, html snippets, theme switching), but I am too happy about the changes made by the upgrade process. In the past, I upgraded my Apple related stuff as soon as it came out. Based on this upgrade, that won't happen again.
    It took you guys 5 days to get back to me (during which time several of my sites were down) and I do not believe the information you provided is going to solve my specific problems. I am very disappointed with the results of this upgrade. Clearly there was inadequate testing of this product before it was released. I cannot recall seeing the Apple discussion forums with hundreds of topics and thousands of posts within a week or two of a new release. Apple had to upgrade iWeb in the first week, another poor sign.
    Apple is beginning to slip back to the pack; all vendors all below average. Apple is getting more like Microsoft everyday. First Apple delays the release of an OS upgrade so they can concentrate on a freaking phone, now you release software that is so buggy it should be classified as beta at best.
    Some of the changes/problem I am seeing since the upgrade (in addition to the problems mentioned previously) are:
    layout changes; some of my pages no longer look the same; same of the changes are so bad the pages are unreadable
    broken photo pages; some of my photo pages no longer work; some of them have no text or pictures
    file/page name changes; why would Apple change the location of the files; now my domains are not pointing right location; special characters (like spaces, ampersands, etc.) are handled differently in this version; specifically, I see that spaces are changed to underscores (_); iWeb used to use '%20' for spaces; what was Apple thinking?
    broken 3rd party themes; I know Apple is not responsible for 3rd party themes, but you should certainly be aware that they exist
    Based on what I am seeing online, most of the people who are complaining about major iWeb issues are not newbies; based on the technical details in the threads, there are clearly some experienced people who are trying to figure things outw. I have lost many hours trying to figure this mess out. I now have to review hundreds of pages to try get things to look and work the way they did before the upgrade. I have had to handle dozens of phone calls and emails from my viewers and subscribers trying to explain the situation.
    I googled 'iweb 08 *****' and got nearly 50,000 hits! I think Apple better get in front of this train before it gets run over.

    Dear David,
    I understand that you are experiencing an issue viewing some of your websites published in iWeb:
    I have examined all of the published pages and they appear to load and function as expected. If you published your website to .Mac, you can visit it either of these ways:
    - In iWeb, click the Visit button in the lower-left corner.
    - Enter the following URL into a web browser:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/
    If you have published more than one website, the URL above will take you to the default website, which is the first website listed in iWeb. To visit another website you have created in iWeb, use the following URL format:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/YourSiteName
    Using this form, the web addresses for the two sites you mentioned would be:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/FuzzyLlamaJuniorOptimist.com
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/pAwesomeProductions.com
    To change the default website, simply open iWeb, and in the Site Organizer, drag the desired default website to the top and republish to .Mac.
    NOTE: Be sure to give each website a unique name. This will help prevent one website from overwriting another. For further information, refer to the following article:
    iWeb: Do not use similar names for your sites
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n303042
    If you still experience issues with the website, try the following troubleshooting steps:
    WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES
    If your website has movies, you may need to wait several minutes after going to the website before the movies are ready to play. The QuickTime Player icon indicates that a movie is still loading.
    CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE
    If you use Safari, you can clear your browser cache by choosing Empty Cache from the Safari menu. If you use another browser, consult that browser’s documentation if you need assistance in clearing your browser cache.
    UPDATE YOUR BROWSER
    Make sure you are using the latest available version of your web browser when viewing pages published in iWeb. If you use Safari, you can check for updates by choosing Software Update from the Apple menu. If there are any available Safari, Security, or Mac OS X updates, install those updates and try looking at your website again.
    If you use another browser, consult that browser’s documentation if you need assistance in updating the browser.
    TRY ANOTHER BROWSER
    If you use a Mac, try viewing your website with Safari or Firefox. If you use Windows, try Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox. Firefox is a free download available here: http://getfirefox.com
    TRY ANOTHER NETWORK
    If possible, try viewing your website from another network or Internet connection. If you can successfully view the website from another network, please consult your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) to resolve this issue.

    Support Subject : iWeb
    Sub Issue : I can't publish to .Mac from iWeb
    Comments : I was interested in forwarding one of several iWeb based sites to one of my domains. I wanted to see what the steps were. I believe I inadvertently started the process for moving the site to www.nfdoi.com site. I have several sub directories under the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb directory with separate domain.sites files (now domain.sites2).
    I was going through all of my domain.sites files and opening them in iWeb08; then publishing them. Somewhere along the line everything blew up. Most of my iWeb sites no longer function, It appears that every other iweb site other www.nfdoi.com is down EXCEPT the last one I published. I have made a mess of things and would appreciate any help.

    Just got off the phone with Apple Support.  There procedure was the following:
    1.  Go to the Apple TV, select settings, general and scroll down to reset.
    2.  Select reset and then select reset all
    Apple TV will go through a restart after the reset and you will have to select your network then log in with your network or Airport Express password.  You will then have to turn on home sharing and It will then ask you for your Apple ID for the iTunes store and then the password.  At this point you may not see your library, because the Apple TV wants you to turn on home sharing on your home computer that is hosting the movie library.  Turn off home sharing on that computer, restart iTunes and turn on home sharing again.  After this is done you should be able to see you library listed under the computer.
    After going through these steps, when I select an HD movie from my iTunes library the movie comes up after about a 5 second delay.
    Hope this helps!  I am back up for business.

  • Unable to select user when reconnecting mailbox

    Hi there,
    I am wondering if this is a bug or if anyone can help... 
    A user was accidentally deleted in AD.  We recovered the user successfully and attempted to reconnect the user's mailbox.
    When you reconnect, a dialog opens in which we are supposed to select the AD user to whom the mailbox will be connected.
    Here is the problem:
    (Windows 2003 Domain Controller, Exchange Server 2003 on same box)
    When we type in the user's login (Dialog: Select a new user for this mailbox) and click check name it returns an error message saying it can't find it
    (An object (User or Other object) with the following name cannot be found:"PatrickK" Check the selected object types and locations for accuracy and ensure that you have typed the object name correctly, or remove this object from the selection)
    Now, this is a standard AD "can't find the user" message.  This is despite the fact that we are selecting our domain.  When we click advanced and search for all users and objects, the only objects that are returned are the users and groups of the local machine; not the domain.  This occurs even when we select our domain as the object to search.  It seems to ignore it and only search the local machine directory.  The same occurs when we try to connect the mailbox to any account on our domain.
    Is this due to Exchange and the Domain Controller being on the same box?
    Any hints or comments appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Worked for me too.  Also keeps all the permissions of users to the mailbox, but you have to add any extra email addresses back after removing exchange attributes, so make note of them when you delete attributes.  
    Thanks!
