TOC stopped updating properly...

Hello - I'm having an issue with my Table of Contents.  It has stopped updating properly.  I have a 90+ page manual where I had the TOC working fine.  I have been saving revisions of the manual when edits were made.  The issue is that when I go to Update TOC, it clears the entire TOC of all the headings for the main body content.  It keeps the "title" and the "Index" heading which happens to be the last entry for the TOC (this heading/page is not threaded with the rest of the main body).
I went back and looked at TOC for previous revisions, and I changed something 2 revisions ago and since then the TOC stopped working.  The only significant format change I can remember is that the TOC originally was not threaded in with the main content of the document.  Looking back a couple of revisions ago I had gone in and threaded it to the main body of the document.  By the time I realized there was an error occurring I had saved yet another revision.  But in this last revision I went in an unthreaded the TOC from the rest of document but it did not correct the issue.  Needless to say, I have made several edits within the document that I haven't necessarily tracked (grammer, spelling).  So going back several revisions to the properly working TOC would require re-edits of that revision....something I'd rather not have to do.
I'm using 3 levels of Section Headings/Paragraph Styles in my TOC --- and i've gone into the main body and those headings are still properly set as their respective paragraph style.  I've even tried creating a completely NEW TOC in my latest revision with just one paragraph style and nothing comes up in my TOC.  Its like nothings there or it can't see the tagged style in the document, but I know it is there.
Any ideas?  Please help.
THANKS!

Hallelujah!  I believe I've fixed it.  Thank you to whoever added that "more like this" box on the side of the forums!  And for the following forum post from 2008.  Ain't the internet grand?
This appears to have fixed the issue:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/1313052#1313052
I knew through my back revisions it was a threading issue.  So I followed the above poster's advice and I basically CUT my entire manual and then deleted all the empty pages.  Added 2 pages back and then pasted my content into those pages.  Tested the TOC and when it asked me If i wanted to include overset text I knew I'd fixed it and that it was looking at all the headings.  The whole content came up just like its supposed to.  Then I added 90 more pages and expanded the thread back. All seems to be good.
Do NOT put TOC in your threaded story.  Not cool.  I had it right at first and then put it in there ---- that's what screwed me up.
....now back to work!

  • AE CS4 Interface stops updating properly

    I've been having this problem come and go for awhile - AE CS4 dialog boxes (like Save As), menus, even scrubbing the timeline sometimes just randomly stop working.  A few minutes ago I went to the Effects menu and it opened totally black - as I moved my mouse down the menu it drew in each item.  Before that double clicked on a layer marker and it opened a blank box.  File->Save As dialog boxes sometimes open empty.  And scrubbing on the timeline just sometimes stops updating.  If I keep clicking at random places on the timeline that one usually will fix itself.
    In ALL CASES exitting and restarting AE fixes it.
    Yea, certainly sounds like a video driver kinda thing - but this just started happening with no changes to my system.  (AE also had a 2-day fit where it would not render Maya .IFF files even though I've used them for years, then it got over it and now works fine again....???)
    System is Intel dual quad core, 8G ram, Windows XP x64, Quadro FX 1700
    Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Know how to fix?
    Thanks!

    Damn computer gremlins. As Todd said, this issue is too exotic to guess the cause, so sending a crash report would probaly do wonders and documenting the current misconduct with screenshots also helps. Still, sounds like something external is interfering seriously, so I'd check for suspicious processes from virus scanners or networking stuff. Could even go as far as something randomly locking up program files just to scan or index them. This would at least explain your IFF problem - at the time the program was launched, the IFF plug-in was locked, so AE couldn't see it.

  • I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

    I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
    After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
    Please, make this solution available to other people!

    You have found the the way to share it.   Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums.   Then mark you own post with a green solved star.

  • HT3669 After update the printer HP Deskjet F300 Series stopped working properly

    I would like to notify you that i use drivers for HP Deskjet F300 Series Version 1.0.1 and after this update the version upgraded in version 2.0.0 and the printer stopped working properly. I removed from library all folder of HP drivers and then i re-install old version from .dmg file from this official link of HP and now it works properly again.

    Hi ds5710,
    I understand you have a Deskjet F300 series printer that is currently telling you it's offline and won't print. I will certainly do my best to assist you in resolving this issue.
    If you're using Windows, I would suggest you start by downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor as it should be able to rectify whatever is causing your printer to show as offline.
    If that doesn't resolve your issue, or you're using a Mac, please get back to me with which version of Windows or Mac that you're using and I will certainly see what else we can do!

  • ITunes has stopped working properly.

    iTunes has stopped working properly.

    Ok.
    3 days ago, for no apparent reason my itunes stopped working.
    This only happens after it has "synced" with the itunes store and prepares to upload remaining songs.
    NOTHING has changed since then other than downloading latest itunes (11.1...whatever) which i was recommended to do after it stopped working.
    I am using windows 7
    Latest itunes version (for windows)
    I have thousand of songs in icloud, which were uploading fine until 3 days ago.
    Windows message reads something like: Itunes has stopped working properly, windows will now close the programme blah blah balh.
    Bit annoyed.  Tried copying the dll file from QT that somebody mentioned earlier. Also tried "repairing" programme and re-downloading update.
    Not working still!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!

  • Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly

    Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. FOR THE UMPTEENTH DAMN TIME... HOW DO I FIX THIS on Firefox 3.6.13!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    ''edited by a moderator - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines ''

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • ToC stopped working on deadline day

    I have an InDesign book project, over 300 pages, due at the printer today.
    This morning my table of contents stopped working properly, it no longer references most of my chapters. I'm getting ToC references for 3 out of 37 chapters.
    I've tried creating a new book file: no help.
    I've tried removing and re-adding chapters to the book: no help.
    I've tried rebuilding the ToC style: no help.
    I've tried reapplying the paragraph styles which are supposed to be referenced: no help.
    I've tried adding new text objects to the missing chapters, these do show up in the ToC.
    If I copy the content out of a chapter and into a new document, it will be show up. But if I do this to all 34 missing chapters I will A) miss the deadline, B) lose all my see[also] index references, and C) go mad.
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Got any ideas or suggestions for a fix?
    [panicking]

    I'll try the .inx route. That's a good suggestion, thanks.
    Yes, I do have 'Include Book Documents (bookName)' ticked and it is showing the correct book name. Definitely worth checking for the obvious mistake
    [edited to add]
    Ixnay on the .inx, eh?*
    *That is to say: the InDesign Interchange format export-import tango did not help.

  • Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

    Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

    I understand. I was very unhappy with Adobe when my PSE 11 stoped working properly. I had it for only about 6-7months before I updated my software on my imac and it all went downhill.... Then to add to that my Adobe account was hacked. Adobe never informed me of this situation. I heard through a friend that I should check to see if I was one of the very many who's online accounts were tampered with. I had to reset every single password and username for nearly 30 online accounts to avoid any further tampering with the hackers. And all Adobe suggested was for me to pay for an upgrade to PSE 12 which I did but wasnt very impressed to say the least ( i was on an online chat with them for over 2hours trying to get my PSE 11 issues solved to no avail). Then this sluggish performance starts happening again using the new version PSE 12?. I'm going to stay clear of adobe if I have the option to purchase similiar software from another supplier. I would and will encourage anyone else who has problems with there software to do the same. Older versions should work perfectly fine for ages. I wonder If Adobe is trying to get us all to pay for the monthly subscription option(s) to avoid having issues with older versions of their software. As the subscription option keeps you ontop of all the latest versions... I wouldn't put it past them.

  • Indicator stops updating

    Hello,
    I'm a beginner to labview and have a request. My VI seems to run fine and then partially hangs. I am asking if someone experienced could look at my VI and provide advice. Let me know if I'm breaking any "best principles" etc.
    I'm trying to read rev/min of a shaft. For testing I run a motor (bench grinder with one metal tooth added) with Variable Reluctance Sensor pickup, signal conditioned through a LM2907 and further through a voltage comparator finally outputting a 0-5v square wave at ~59Hz. In time I would like to vary it from close to zero (~10hz) to up to 2kHz.
    I have a SCB-68, and PCI-MIO-16XE-10 (PCI-6030E) and am using the counter to record the pulses in low frequency, single counter mode. I want to use this, rather than 2 counter mode, as the DAQ has 2 counters and I have 2 rpm's to eventually record.
    After a varying amount of time the VI stops updating the gauge and frequency indicator but the real time box continues to update. Is there a problem with my VI? I am trying to sample the most recent buffered data point and the 49 before it to smooth the data. Maybe you can't multiply read buffer data points. If not could someone please provide guidance on how to properly perform this measurement. I'd prefer to update the display every 100ms so it is pleasing to the user.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Hi Chris
      I don’t use the counter functions of DAQ, but if this were for analogue DAQ there is a conflict between the task set up and the timed loop which asks for 50 samples on each loop. The program will start to work at first, but over time the buffer will become full and you'll get problems. Also you probably don’t need to keep track of where the sample position is yourself, it should be handled by the DAQ read function.
    Take a look at the modified diagram and give it a try.
      Hope this helps, Ian

  • Adobe flash player stopped working properly please help

    i'm using adobe flash player version10.0.32.18 on vista, and everytime i open my facebook application, i often encountered adobe flash player stopped working properly, then the page will recover, then after few minutes it will stopped then recover again. please someone help me how to solve this problem.

    Hi, Thanks. Your Flash Player files and the SWO(if it is vs 10.0.45.2) are correct. Are you having problems on other sites
    or just that one? Are you getting a message that is different than "you need to update your Flash Player?"
    Many times it is the websites or if you are getting this from a game, then that can be causing the problem. I haven't been
    able to determine if the websites that have NOT updated to support the latest Flash Player are just putting out a generic
    message or not.  You might want to check with the site to see if they support FP vs 10.0.45.2.
    You may have an add on that is conflicting also, it is hard to tell. Some anti-virus programs have add ons that may conflict.
    Since several users are having problems with Facebook, Farmville, Zynga, etc. my opinion is that it is not your computer.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 25% CPU, crash state, CSS Styles window stops updating

    Hi, has anyone else found their app in the state where it starts using 25% CPU continually, with the exe not closing after the app window closes?  When this happens, right before, I'll notice that when I select an element in the design or code windows, or the breadcrumbs style selector at the bottom of these two windows, the CSS Styles window will not update to show the current selection's properties.
    For me, I've encountered this after being in Inspect mode, and then some how maybe I alt-tab or click in another window without having first selected an item with the Inspector.  At least, I think this is when it happens.  I'll be in th emiddle of something in DW like modifying a CSS property, then realize I need to go look in Illustrator or something to see how big an image was, then come back and stuff stops working properly.  But not always!  Seems to happen to me with my style of working about once per hour, really annoying.  Can't wait for CS6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    darn, I put this in the wrong forum.  Is it possible to move it?

  • Shockwave will not update properly

    Hi. I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home premium, 64 bit system.I  use IE and just installed Firefox, as well. I tried to update Shockwave so I could continue to play my UClick jigsaw puzzle game, and my computer says it installed successfully, but it will not work with my jigsaw puzzle. I have uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, but no change in response. When I try to open jigsaw puzzle, the Adobe Shockwave loading graphic appears, but nothing happens.
    Help!

    I understand the two sites are using different plugins/players.  I'm not an idiot.  However as Shockwave for Director is so old it's listed by Firefox as an unknown plugin and described as being a Netscape plugin ("Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.1.5.155"), I am merely suggesting that UClick might change to a more recent, robust plugin.
