Update Link, Update All Links, SHORTCUT?

Found a great way to work live, on the iPad, from the computer.
BUT, Adobe being Adobe, it's not perfect.
If I click to "Edit Original" and then edit, and save, I must switch back to InDesign before it actually does the update.
That's problem 1. I'd really rather not have to make that switch back. Any way around that?
Second, haivng switched back to InDesign to get that "live" update, if I [Command + Tab] back to the editing app, the "live" updating link is lost, so the next change I make I must go back to InDesign and use the TINY little button at the top of the screen to find the Update Link choice.
I'd much rather a Keyboard Shortcut for Update All Links, rather than having to deal with this.
Better yet, constant live updates would be epic. Anyways to do this?

Argh, there's part one of your problem. I don't want it... I was looking for it, assuming it would be already assigned, and not wanting to try to find how to assign one of my own if it already existed. This was made harder, ironically, by the fact it was already assigned, so there was no hint to the shortcut when seeing the Update options.

You want everything to automatically get updated, I don't—
There's part two of your problem. I don't want that for everyone, always, I just want it as a possible state, and to turn it on.

If you really think links should not have a modified state the scripting engine is comprehensiv
And there's part 3. I don't want to remove their modified state. I just want for an "auto-update".
Now, where's that scrpting reference? Does scripting have access to things like auto-update of Links? I'm guessing not, since there would be some possible security problems exposed by such a thing being able to be implemented by parties outside Adobe.

Visited Links - Override all link colors

Hi,
I'm using RH8 in WebHelp and IE. I read all the former postings regarding people having the same problem and some mentioned a fix in a .css but the .css wasn't available with the posting of March 25, 2008.
My visited link color seems to override all other link colors. Originally I had the link colors in a style sheet and changed the colors in the .css. That didn't work and all colors still were the visited link color. I deleted the link colors from this .css and added the link colors via the RoboHelp Edit Styles. Either way doesn't seem to work and all link colors are my visited color. I've tried clearing my cache several times and this doesn't work, neither does deleting the history.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks very much for any help you can provide.

Hi Leon,
Here is all the code with "a" type styles in the .css. Again, I also have the links also in the mini-TOC but didn't see a way via the Format Placeholder to change
this. Currently, most of my links are showing up as the "visited" color -- grey. I'm going to revisit this link issue again very soon but have to get a ton of content in now. I really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks,
Sue

When Firefox asked me to update where did all my shortcuts that were on my desktop go? They were very important and I need them back!!!

I had all my work shortcuts on my desktop and when I restarted my computer today the only ones on there were Mozilla and one other everything else I had on my desktop was wiped out, where did they go and how do I get them back???

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Downloaded lasteset version, links to all my shortcuts using firfox do not work.

I recently downloaded the lasted version. After doing this come to find out that when I click on a shortcut on the desktop that would take me to a webpage it goes directly to the page I have set up when the browser opens winch is Google. Have found that others have had the same problem. Had to swith back to internet explorer to get the shortcuts to work. Gary

Did you check for issues caused by an extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Why all links automatically go into reading list

recently , as I use safari and click links ,then all links automatically go into the reading list.
I have to click "open in other tab", then i can see the page.
how can i solve this problem?

I placed my file from my laptop over my current photo file to transfer it...probably the problem.
Yes. Doing that you imported the original, modified, thumbnail and faces image files into your other library. That's not the way to do it.
If yo have a backup copy of the library on your EHD get it and replace the "combined" one and name it something other than iPhoto Library. Then just drag the library from the laptop to the EHD.
You won't be able to merger then and keep metadata, faces, places or keywords until iPhoto Library Manager is updated to be compatible with iPhoto 11. That might be sometime next week hopefully.
If you don't care about the keywords, places, etc you can use iPhotoSync
iPhotoSync to just copy the photos in your laptop library into the EHD library.
This is how it would be done:
1 - open your laptop library.
2 - using Fast User Switching go to a second user account and use iPhoto to open the library on the EHD.
3 - now you can use iPS to move the photos from the laptop library into the EHD library. iPhoto will ask you if you want to exclude duplicates so select yes for all dups.
Remember this method will NOT include keywords, places, etc. an may create multiple Events or just one large Event with all the photos. I'm not sure which.

File linking in photoshop + Auto update links through all applications

At work (graphic and sign studio) we use mostly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign all together for one project, with linked files from and to these applications.
For example: making a car lettering.
I start with a vector logo in Illustrator -> save as AI
I place this one into Photoshop to apply an effect that's not possible in Illustrator -> save as PSD
This PSD is placed in an Illustrator car outline file -> save as AI
The car design AI is imported in Photoshop again to make a "realistic" picture of the car onto a background -> save as PSD
I place the PSD in an InDesign file, add some text to it and export a proof PDF te send to the customer. -> INDD + PDF
That's just an example offcourse of how we link to and from the 3 apps.
Now if the customer asks to alter the logo just a bit and asks for a new proof, i have to (afaik) manually open each file one at a time, update the links and save/export the updated file. The stuff in Photoshop even has to be REplaced since placed files can't maintain the link to the original file.
1. Is there no way to have linked files in Photoshop just like it works in Illustrator and InDesign? (can't be that hard with smart objects, right?)
2. Is it possible to give a command in the last file (the INDD in my case) to update all links back to the first file?
Thanks!

1. Is there no way to have linked files in Photoshop just like it works in Illustrator and InDesign? (can't be that hard with smart objects, right?)
What makes you think it would be easy?
Anyway, Photoshop is an image editing program, not a page layout program … but if you miss that feature you might lend your support to the appropriate feature requests in the Feature Request Forum.
2. Is it possible to give a command in the last file (the INDD in my case) to update all links back to the first file?
It would probably be possible to create a JavaScript that, via BridgeTalk, tries to open all linked Files in an Indesign-File in their creator application and update changed Links in Illustrator and Indesign.
But I suspect that would be a fairly complicated endeavor; on the other hand someone might already have attempted that, so maybe you should ask in the Indesign Scripting Forum.

Update All Links Problem

Problem: Links will not stay updated in inDesign. After each time I place images, I get errors in pre-flight and then I must go to links panel and 'Update All Links' and pre-flight goes to green. After the next Place, the errors return. Preflight tells me the files have been modified, but they have not to the best of my knowledge.
Computer: 2012 MacPro (Mavericks, now Yosemite (same issue with both). Adobe CC updated. I have even uninstalled CC and reinstalled to try and fix. I do not use an external or network drive (for storing project files or links) and do not change folder location after starting a project.
Workflow: I use inDesign for creating photo books primarily. I am very organized with folders on my system and build all client work in the same place. I use one folder for each client book and I never move the folders. Inside the Client Book Folder, I create one folder called 'Images' (I have also experimented with calling it Links to test). I usually save the indd file in the root client folder outside of the Images folder.
Place: I primarily use Bridge to Place Images in inDesign (also use Cmd-D inDesign) to place images, same results either way.
The images have already been retouched, so I rarely leave inDesign to edit. I mainly layout complete books
Preferences: I have tried every combination in File Handling, Links, etc that I am aware of. I have only been a heavy inDesign user for about 2 years so I am expecting to feel stupid when I fix this problem, but I cannot figure it out on my own. I have no corruption in files or problems exporting, but I must constantly 'Update All Links'.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
mike

I have never personally seen this happen, but it only takes one placed object to have changed for the InDesign preflight to indicate that the links are out of date. If you keep any of the asset open in another program, even if you aren't changing them, perhaps that is triggering this behavior.
Another possibility would be some type of continuous backup process that is marking the file attributes in some way that make InDesign see the file as modified. InDesign does not actually go “inside” the linked assets to see if they are different, but rather looks at modification dates of the linked files. And ironically, even if a file is not actually changed, if it is opened for read/write in another program or possibly if its backup metadata is changed, the file's modification date may reflect this. Just a thought to check out.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc. It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update. Lost lot of info from calendar.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products. It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

Java 7 update 21 breaks all existing JWS desktop shortcuts on windows

I just updated from 1.7u17 to 1.7u21 and all my Java Web Start shortcuts broke because I no longer have C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaws.exe.
I can "reinstall" the web start apps or delete their shortcuts and re-create them and they work because they now point to C:\Windows\System32\javaws.exe.
Earlier in the Java 7 series I had all my shortcuts break because the opposite had happened. System32\javaws.exe disappeared and new shortcuts pointed at SysWOW64\javaws.exe.
What can I do to make these shortcuts more stable, short of not using web start?
System:
Windows 8 Pro x64
Java 1.7 update 21

We have the same problem every time an Java update is deployed.
We receive errors like "java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\61\56122c3d-737a9565 (Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden)", (~"System is unable to locate the file"), as well as CouldNotLoadArgumentException[ Angegebene Datei/URL konnte nicht geladen werden: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\61\56122c3d-737a9565].
But if one looks into jcp (Java Control Panel), the application is listed as "installed application". And if you delete both links, in Programs and on the desktop (*because Java Web Start does not create not one of them if it finds just one of them*!) you can start over again and everything is allright, without the need to reinstall the application itselft.
Does one have an idea for a workaround?

Phone link updater is out of date

does anyone know where i can get a phone link updater, that is more recent than 2005 and will let me connect my zire 72 to my samsung e900?
and on a side note, has anyone else noticed that when you register on palms very own forums and it asks you which device you have, it doesn't have many of it's devices, it had no zire's at all.

Nova Media is the site that sells phone drivers for PalmOS:

There are a few Samsung drivers. Try before you buy... Also, be advised - not all cell providers will allow you to remotely access their phones! (Cof, Verizon, cof).

OSPF link update-Basic Query

I am new to OSPF. I have 2 basic querys on OSPF link update.
1. How does one router communicates with every router in the OSPF area. Is it that each router communicates only with its directly connected neighbours? example.
ROUTERA-------ROUTERB-----ROUTERC-----ROUTERD----ROUTERE
Lets say link on RouterB connected to ROUTERA goes down. How does "ROUTERE" get to know about this? Is the communication is from RouterB to ROUTERC then to ROUTERD and then to ROUTERE?
2. How does router handle(forward) multicast packets?
Thanks

Hello Avil,
the way OSPF communicates depends on how your network is set up. In your case, it looks like all routers are connected back-to-back with point-to-point links. OSPF uses the concept of adjacencies: an OSPF router has an adjacency with a connected router, which means that they have the exact same view of the entire network. If you do a 'show ip ospf neighbor' on your RouterA and your RouterE, it tells you the adjacencies these routers have with other connected routers. Now let's say the link between RouterA and RouterB goes down. RouterC notifies RouterD, and RouterD notifies RouterE immediately by exchanging link-state packets.
Keep in mind that on a multiaccess segment (where multiple OSPF routers are directly connected on the same segment), the concept of DR (Designated Router) and BDR (Backup Designated Router) comes into play: on a multiaccess segment, a DR and a BDR are elected, and all other routers have full adjacencies only with the DR and the BDR.
Regarding the multicast traffic: it is handled just as unicast traffic (unless you specifically block it).
Does that make sense ? If you are just starting with OSPF, have a look at the link below, which contains a pretty good introduction of the basic concepts.

Phone Link Update app. not found

My TX sez to use Phone Link Update Application in my Palm folder (desktop).
Not found
Does this file have a cryptic name or something? Palm website (support) doesn't show anything in Search
Thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello, unfortunately there are no Palm OS Bluetooth drivers for newer cell phones. You could try all of the drivers that are built into the TX to see if you get lucky, but I am not optimistic. BTW, the TX already came loaded with the latest available drivers...the Phone Link Update gave users the ability to update Palm OS devices which were older than the TX.
I'm not familiar with the Droid Razr, but the specs on this site indicate is has Mobile Hot Spot capabilities, which would allow you to connect the TX to the phone via Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth. I connect my TX (and computer) wtih my phone's Hot Spot abilities all the time. My service is with AT&T and this ability requires my Hot Spot data service.
Hope this helps.

How do you update the location of linked smart objects?

The new linked smart object feature was a low-key feature but it's fundamentally changing our workflow for the better!
Quick question, is there a way to update the paths to linked smart objects or will Photoshop work it out? I can't see a links panel under WIndow or file so am not sure how you do it sorry.
I'm about to edit these files at home and want to make sure Photoshop can find the links - as well as find everything when I copy it all back to the server and work.
Cheers
ben

Yes, the linked smart object can be either raster or vector, but they will be placed as raster images, just as the embedded SO are. SO can be embedded or linked to an outside file. Edits to the original will not update in the original until you select "Update modified content from the menu" when you reopen the file that has the place SO in it. otherwise it will update when you save the linked file. Yes, there still is an advantage to having an embedded SO. You may not want to maintain the links - send a file off and forget to include the linked files. You may want to alter the SO, but not the original file.
Ah, thanks. But does this mean that raster and vector smart objects can EITHER be located within the Photoshop file (as they have been since their advent) OR linked to an external file?
And if so,
1. Can this linked file be either raster or vector?
2. Do edits to it automatically update the Photoshop file?
3. Is ther any longer any advantage to having the smart object data stored within the Photoshop file when it can be linked?

T60 WLAN COMPLETELY GONE after installing latest Update Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP

I just reinstalled a T60 from scratch TWICE to the point of updating - Intel Wireless Wifi Link for Windows XP -
Just after that very latest Update (3.1.1.1 or so?) there is no WLAN possible and I had to find out, that a system restore is impossible either! (Simply does not work and asks me to get another point and try again)
I have a full backup done by acronis 2010 so that does not bother me so very much.
The point is that I like to WARN everybody to install that Update to their T60 e.g. 2008YWJ !!!
(contains 3945AGB WLAN Module!)
After Updating U HAVE NO CHANCE TO REPAIR IT! U get always the problem signature
szAppName: AcSvc.exe szAppVer: 5.6.1.33 szModName: PfMgrApi.dll
szModVer : 13.0.0.2 offset: 000d4912
and the System wants to report that stuff to MicroSoft...again and again...every time u
start AccessConnections.
U can DEinstall AccessConnections and Intel Wireless Wifi Link for XP completely, reboot
and REinstall it....just 2 get the same messages and NO WLAN anymore.
I could not get out of this Driver Installation Hell until I did a complete Recovery Install and
I got back to Hell when System Update REinstalled Intel Wireless WiFi Link for XP
automagically...;-(((
And again NO CHANCE to roll back, No chance to get rid of that annoying bug. This time I have an ACRONIS-Image so I can spare some time....
Somebody shoud really CHECK this, because it should not be possible to break down an completely NICE RUNNING Thinkpad THIS WAY just by updating it! As it took me abaout 12 Hours of Administration by now I
really would apreciate to help whomever to find out what the hell is responsible 4 this !!!
Why is XP System Restore not working on an T60 to roll back to Point b4 installation of this Update???
(I could not use that Thinkvantage-System Recovery because it did not even get all its updates by the
time the system went in limbo during install! What i defintely can say is that it breaks at exactely
same point when Intel Wifi Updates is installed...
I do my Acronis Restore now and try 2 avoid this Update....;-(
if anybody KNOWS how to get that system 2 an earlier point of an install orgy i whould be thankful to get that information...
I am keeping alive 12 Thinkpads here R40 R50 T42 T43 T60 T61p T400 T500 and NEVER
experienced problems like this in many years!
cheers

gal9000, welcome to the forum,
have you tried running windows system restore from safe mode? It usually works then because some anti-virus softwares will prevent it from running successfully from "normal" windows.
Hope this helps.

Updating Links in a Linked Document

Good morning everyone. I have a situation and not sure how to address.
I have about 100+ small documents (INDD files) that have a picture linked (different picture for each). Let call these documents "listings" I have recently dedicated a drive for these pictures so now all the path to all these "listings" documents are invalid.
These "listings" documents are being assembled on a master page (for a real estate ad).
Is there an easy way to update the link for the "listings"?
thanks for reading and for any response.
Ren

If I understand correctly, you've linked pages from several .indd files into a new file, and the links in the linked .indd files are now out of date. The only way to fix that is to open those files, fix the links there and save.
