So many Partial Albums are broken links?

I just browsed the iTunes Store today. I found plenty of "Partial Albums" that happen to be broken links. You click on the link and the iTunes Store gives an error message: *Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not available.*
I'm not talking about only 2 or 3 random albums here. I'm willing to list a dozen examples here if Apple wishes me to do so, in order to track down the "broken links" so that they can fix it. This just happens to be the first time that I noticed this problem is so widespread.

The best way to report this issue is to contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the link at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page and let them know which albums you've discovered to be experiencing this problem.
Regards.

Smart Albums are broken!

I upgraded to 3.3, and Smart Albums are now broken!
For example, I have a recent event broken down into 3 Smart Albums for my 3 star, 4 star, and 5 star images.
The 3 and 4 star albums display the photos correctly. But the 5 star album doesn't display anything!
On another event from a few years ago, I have the something similar. I have 3 smart albums from one event corresponding to 3 different "Image Country" tags. Two of them display fine, the third doesn't display at all. On the one that doesn't display, if I change the star rating from 3 to 2, the images all show up (including the 3 star images.) If I put it on 3, nothing shows up.
What's going on?

That's a pretty obnoxious, blame-the-victim comment.
I am not blaming you - sorry if it sounded like that. Really, I only discovered the information accidentally down at the bottom of the page I pointed to. You are right, usually you do not expect major changes between updates, if only the number behind the decimal point changes.
But it is really not safe to update any software without reading the release notes - with some updates you may lose functionality you may need.

All web browsers, search engines and apps redirect automatically to broken links.

Hi, I have a big problem. When I browse internet, my iPhone redirect it automatically to different links. most of them are broken links. When I try to stop, web browser or app will be closed. This occur with every web browser, google and apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, etc. Why is this ? If I try to open a weblink in a web browser or an app, it will open original link and then redirect to a different web address automatically. And it content nothing. I am confused. Please help.

thanks orangekay for your input. i downloaded both onyx and cocktail and ran them both fully (not at the same time of course) and the problem still persists, pages are still rendering in glyphs. i went in and did the full system with every option checked. still no luck.
also after running the two utilities i've run into a new glitch. when a dialog box appears my pointer slowly moves automatically to the default button that is highlighted. its really strange, i'm not sure if thats a feature or not, but i havent had time to explore the situation.
so you believe it's a font problem? hmm...
thanks for the input again, geese, i guess this topic isnt very common, i've ony gotten one response =T

CR2008 and VS2008, broken links in documentation

Hi !
I'm using VS2008 which is delivered with CR2008. I'm looking at the provided online documentation and find there are broken links. For example, on the page http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/aa288402(VS.71).aspx there is a link http://www.crystaldecisions.com/products/dev_zone/net_walkthroughs.asp for CR documentation. That link is now broken.
Where can I find documentation, tutorials and sample programs suitable for CR2008 version delivered with VS2008 ?
Thanks.

Hello,
As you've discovered, the Developer Zone (Dev Zone) has been retired. Most of the content from that site was moved to the SAP Community Network (SCN) and the SAP Developer Network (SDN) that is part of SCN. There is an [SAP Business Objects Community|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc] on the SCN/SDN site.
You'll see a link to Crystal Reports for .NET in the vertical menu on the left. This is where you want to start. You'll also see a horizontal menu with links to Support, the SDK Library, and Code and Samples. These links will take you to additional information about Crystal Reports and BusinessObjects products.
I'd like to also clarify your understanding of the version of Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studios 2008. VS2008 ships with a bundled version of Crystal Reports. It is called Crystal Reports Basic, and it's version number is 10.5. It is not Crystal Reports 2008. Crystal Reports 2008 is the current version of our stand alone report designer and is v12.x. CR2008 can be integrated into VS2008, but it is not the version you are using at this time.
When you're ready to deploy your application you can visit the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET Runtime Distribution - Versions 9.1 to 12.0|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bobj/crystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki for deployment information.

ITunes Music Store broken links everywhere

I recently had to install a new hard drive. Everything went very smooth. I went to the iTune Store and downloaded a couple of songs, no problem. Then I remember I had not ran updates, ran the updates. I restarted and went back to iTune Store and there are broken links everywhere. No images, just broken links. I never head of this or seen it. I went to the Apple store and ask someone at the Genius Bar and they pulled someone from the back and they have no clue. So if anyone out there has seen it and has fixed the problem, please pass it on. Thanks.

I simply assumed it was on Apple's side. I think they are receiving more traffic than they had anticipated. The song "new soul" from the MacBook Air have gone through the roof. And I must admit that after watching the keynote at MacWorld I wanted to rent Transformers right away and watch it with the kids! I think they are simply being bombarded. At least that is what I think, only time will tell.

ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums. Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes. Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

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.

I need to authorize my computer but i am unable to do so as i am authorized to many times but i can't authorize the other computers because they are broken, what should i do?

Follow the instructions in the above link to deauthorize all and then authorize only the computers that you physically have access to and need authorized.

I see all the music in itunes but when I "explore" the drive many subfolders for my individual albums are missing. Help

On version 10.5 and was trying to move my itunes music to a larger drive. I had issues and moved it all back to the original drive. Now I see all the music in itunes but when I "explore" the drive many subfolders for my individual albums are missing. Help

really??
Yes, really, I'm sorry to say.
is there anything i can do about it??maybe create another account?
Sorry, but there is nothing you can do about it. There's no place where you could create "another account" that would give you any greater access to media. The content owners do not allow cross-border sales, so you cannot open an account in another country's iTunes Store. So until such time as Apple is able to obtain the necessary licensing and decides that it's practical to open an iTunes Store on your country, I'm afraid that you will not be able to purchase music, videos, or movies from an iTunes Store.
There is only one possibility for you: if what you're looking for are only podcasts, you may be able to find the podcast you want directly from a web site. Apple doesn't host the podcasts, they only link to them, so the podcast you want may be available from another source. You'll have to do a web search and see if the podcast turns up.

Linking image files created in Mac are broken on PC and Vice Versa

Hello,
A fellow designer and I are sharing Illustrator files in the office but she is on a Mac and I am on a PC. Our linking image files are located in multiple folders on our company server, but whenever we open each other's files, all the links are broken and have to be relinked due to our different operating platforms. This can be very time consuming since the images are in different folders and there are many of them.
Anybody know how to fix this PC/Mac problem without dropping all the linking files into the same folder as the .ai file? I'm not the IT guy so I don't think that rebuilding our server structure is an option either...would cause too much havoc around the office.
Any help would be appreciated.

Let me ask you something does this sound like a viable way to work?
The way to do it is as you yourself suggest to work locally with all the files in one folder so you cannot break the links and that you know where the art is at all times.
If the IT thinks this is a good way to work then let them create a script to save all linked files to a common live folder for the project so that both computers can find it.
But from what you describe it is just looking for trouble and might be exactly what the IT wants trouble so they can extend their job. In which case ther is no solution.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, navi and linked images are broken.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, <navi> and linked images are broken.
The data of CS5 was created at another PC. I installed Cloud version into two different PC. One has had the site data since dreamweaver CS5 and it works correct in Cloud version. Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.

Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.
This implies your site is not properly defined in DW. Go to Site > Manage Sites.
Or simply go to your other installation of DW and export the site definition file from Manage Sites.
Save it to a flash stick or other removable drive. Then import the STE file into your 2nd installation of DW.

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!

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.

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....

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.

So many Partial Albums are broken links?
