Using External Topics via Resource Mgr?

I am trying to link external topics from another project to my current project through Resource Manager (RH9), but it doesn't seem to be working. When I add a shared location containing topic (HTML) files, the folder and its contents appears, everything except the topic files. Both projects are FlashHelp. I was lead to believe (Usinging RoboHelp 9: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS1b49059a33f77726-14df8d3712b0ab9d010-8000. html) that I could "Drag images, style sheets, and topics from Project Manager to Resource Manager" (quote from help page), but this does not provide any visible results, either. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not really something RH9 can do?

Hi, Rick;
Thanks for the response. Even though there is no resolution, it's still good to know others are suffering alongside me. I've submitted a feature request to Adobe, pointing out that the lack of this feature diminishes their claim that RH is a great single sourcing solution.

Hi there
Long ago I identified an issue with using Topics this way. But so far it has fallen on deaf ears at Adobe.
Indeed Adobe doesn't seem to allow Topics to be used that way. You can certainly configure HTML files to appear there but using them will always be a one way street. There isn't a notification that anything changed or a synchronization of the topic in the project with a changed topic in the Resource Manager.
Please consider submitting a Wish Form to add your voice to others that are requesting topics be available via Resource Manager! (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

  • Using external Display via Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter does'nt work

    Hey Guys,
    i recently bought a mini-dvi-to-vga adapter.
    When I plug it into my macbook and connect it to my 19" external TFT, the MB recognizes the TFT as [Medion] MD30219PH but the display stays blank (no matter if i choose mirroring mode or extended desktop)...
    Already changed the Hz-Rate between 59.9, 60 and 75 Hertz and the Resolution also... but nothing happens.
    In extended Desktop mode i can even slide the cursor into the area where the display is supposed to be...
    Hope u can help me
    thx

    From what I've been told, using the computer's video output isn't outputting a true NTSC picture. I was told when talking about how the Macbook Pros dropped the S-vdieo port that I shouldn't use that anyways, but rather to go the firewire route. THat was actually converts the video source to true NTSC instead of taking a computer output to a TV. While I have no doubt that it works, I'm willing to bet that you'll see a noticeable difference between the G5 S-video and your MB using firewire. Most consumer camcorders from the past several years do digital (firewire) to analogue (NTSC) conversion, so you probably don't even need a new box.

  • Capturing using external HD via fire wire?

    I just bought a lacie 80 GB mobile external hard drive. I want to begin capturing a new project... however I see only one fire wire port on my powerbook G4. So how do I connect my hard drive and camera, both of which are using fire wire?

    Tom-
    I also posted this as a seprate message-----
    OK, I finally bought the correct-- at least I think it's the correct--- external hard drive (160 GB lacie). However, when I use "capture now" I get an "allocating disk space" message. This message usually stays up for a very long time with the spinning pin wheel, which results in only a small fraction of my video being captured.... if any at all.
    I'm assuming this has something to do with the addition of the external hard drive... any suggestions?
    Also, when I capture using clip it seems to work OK... sort of. Clip will capture the video, but only one channel of audio.

  • Using external drive via Time Capsule to back up Media

    I installed a 500 GB Time capsule and connected an Iomega USB 2.0 1TB drive. My goal is to use the ITB drive as my media drive for my MB Pro. I want to use the drive as my library for iTunes and iPhoto. I want to use time machine to backup my MB Pro but since my photos and music are on the attached drive it is not backing up those items. I tried to put an alias of the iphoto library and itunes library but it is only making a back up of the alias's. Is there a better way to set this up so I can back up those items on my 1TB drive as well as the MB Pro? I set this up this way because the Media was taking up 80% of the 160 GB hard drive space and was causing a drastic slow down in performance.

    I want to use time machine to backup my MB Pro but since my photos and music are on the attached drive it is not backing up those items.
    Sorry ... Time Machine will only backup your Macs internal hard disk or any external hard disks physically attached to the Mac. Time Machine can not backup one remote device (Time Capsule) to another remote device (AirPort Disk) or vice versa.

  • Is it possible to connect an external camera via bluetooth to the Iphone 4 and use it with Facetime, if not.. why?

    Is it possible to connect an external camera via bluetooth to the Iphone 4 and use it with Facetime, if not.. why?

    Ok, in 2015 is it possible now? I would like to use an iPad and Face to share content between a dressmaker in Asia and a customer in the US, and I would like to attach better camera's than the built-in camera's on the devices.
    Any thoughts? Any updates to the original post?

  • External topics using Hide/Show button

    I need to be able to add a Hide/Show button for external topics - i.e. topics that are not part of the RH project, but rather linked to from the TOC using http://
    Thanks in advance

    Hi there
    I'm unclear on what you are wanting. Do you mean that you have perhaps a link to Google, and somehow you need to cause a Hide / Show button to appear on the Google page?
    I'm not sure that's even possible.

  • Datamart management from cube to external system via XI

    Dear All,
    I upload data to another external system via XI from an infocube.
    Data upload is done with delta update to the cube, also, deltas going to the external system.,,
    I have two cubes. One of them is filled with deltas by transformation (i.e 7.0 property). But other is filled with update rules (i.e 3.5 property)..
    when i click on data mart status on the cube that filles with 3.5 property nothing happens. No pop-up screen opens for me to delete the datamart status of the cube.
    However, when i click on the cube that filles with 7.0 property, a pop-up screen opens for me to reset last delta.
    Can you please advise?

  • Problem with T61 and DVI External Monitor (via Advanced Mini-Dock)

    Ever since I upgraded to Vista SP1 on my ThinkPad T61 (with an Intel integrated 965 series graphics card), I've been having problems when I try to use an external monitor via the DVI port in my Advanced Mini-dock.  I'm curious if other people have experienced this problem.
    The problems surfaces when I first boot up, or sometimes after my ThinkPad has been running for awhile (particularly when I do something graphics related, such as right-clicking to open display properties).  The picture starts to flicker (or disappear and reappear, like the screen does when changing graphics resolutions).  I also hear the "ba-bum" sound that you hear when disconnecting a piece of hardware, followed by the "bum-ba" reconnection sound - these two sounds happen repeatedly (sometimes as fast as once per second).  If I don't do anything, sometimes I'll get a bluescreen.
    Not long ago, I found a fix of sorts: to stop the flickering/reconnecting, I just open Task Manager and stop the process called "igfxpers" (an Intel driver problem).  The problem always disappears after I do this, although I have to remember to do it every time I reboot or else the problem comes back.  So it's not an ideal fix.
    This problem doesn't happen when I connect an external monitor using the analog VGA port, or when I'm just using the notebook LCD.  It's limited to just the DVI connection.  I've tried two different digital monitors (one LG, the other BenQ) as well as two DVI cables - the problem is still the same.  So it seems like a driver problem of some sort - unfortunately, the Intel drivers haven't been updated since last February.
    I should also note that I've tried reinstalling my OS two or three times, and the problem always comes back.  Has anyone else had this problem, and is a fix on the way?

    Error Message:
    Input signal out of range. Translation:
    You will see this on an otherwise blank screen. Assuming that the data cable is plugged in correctly, the video card is feeding the monitor a signal stream in excess of what the monitor can accommodate. The two main causes for this are that the user has set either the resolution or the vertical frequency rate too high. For example, you might set a new graphics card to display at 1,280 x 1,024, but if the monitor is only capable of 1,024 x 768 resolution, you’ll get a Sync Out of Range error. This is especially common in 14-inch monitors.
    Solution:
    Because you obviously can’t make settings changes from within regular Windows, you’ll need to reboot into Windows Safe Mode. When you restart the system, there is a point during boot up when the system switches from reporting diagnostics and detected components to loading Windows. This point is usually accompanied by a beep and the screen going black. Just before this point, you want to start repeatedly pressing the F8 key. This should bring up a menu of Windows boot options. The one you want to pick is Safe Mode.
    From Safe Mode right-click the Desktop and select Properties. Go to the Settings tab and use the slider to drop your resolution a notch or two. Reboot and let Windows try to go into Normal mode. If this still doesn’t work, go back into Safe Mode and get to the Settings tab of Display Properties. Click the Advanced button, go to the Monitor tab, and check your refresh rate. The lowest advisable rate is usually 60Hz, although this works better for LCDs (liquid-crystal displays) than CRTs (cathode ray tubes). Apply the change and reboot.

  • My macbook slows down after using external HDD

    When I use an external drive via usb, my computer really slows down giving me no choice except reboot.
    I watched memory usage with activity monitor. Free memory decreases  by time and inactive memory increases with the same amount and others  don't change much. If I continue using -esp. reading-, free memory comes  below to 100MB and then increases a bit -I think it starts paging  =other applications' memories= to system disk-, then continues to  decrease. Closing the application -that use the external- do not relese  memory from inactive to free but ejecting the external does. After  unplugging and trying to use the other applications, I face very  sluggish performance so that rebooting becomes a better-fast choice.  Both NTFS and FAT partitions produce the same result and I don't have  any other partition.
    If I try to re-read the same file after the external drive stops  spinning (sleeps), it does not start spinning but trying to read another  file makes it start spining. This makes me think about some -overdone-  caching problem, but don't know what causes it and how to turn it off  (Tuxero's caching is already disabled in the preferences, although I  think it is only for writing only).
    I made some research and found nothing specific; they tell to  reinstall the os or format the drive -to HFS+ -. What is causing this?
    Note: All of my drives are in Spotlight's exclusion (privacy) list and using another usb slot did not change a thing.

  • Mac Formatted Time Capsule w/ PC Formatted External Drive Via USB?

    I use a Mac-formatted Time Capsule to run Time Machine backups on my MacBook Pro.  My wife backs up her PC laptop on a PC-formatted Western Digital "My Book" hard drive which is powered via A/C wall adapter.  I connected the Western Digital PC drive to the Time Capsule via USB so it would be available on our home network and my wife could run her PC backups wirelessly, BUT the drive is not showing up on our network.  Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance!

    My questions continue below in red.  Thank you for your patience.

    Thanks for the in depth clarification.  A few follow up questions:
    1) Are you saying that even though I am only using the TC (in this instance) to make the windows drive available on the network, the drive still needs to be formatted in HFS+?
    HFS+ or FAT32.. the later having severe issues with large disk and large files.
    Great.  I'll do HFS+
    2) If I format the windows drive in HFS+, will the windows laptop be immediately able to write/read to it over the network?  Or will I have to install some sort of program on the windows laptop that allows windows to read/write to HFS+ (which I've always undewrstood to be a mac only format)?
    The format of the disk connected to a NAS is totally irrelevant.. if it offers windows networking file protocol.. ie SMB then it can store files on the hard disk.. it is just like sharing the disk in the Mac.. you can write to that directly from the PC. Try it.. The disk is controlled by the Mac. But it presents SMB to the Network.. On your Mac, go to system preferences.. sharing.. it should be in Internet and wireless.. but on Lion I have no idea. Open file sharing which should be ticked..there should be a public folder by default.. you can add others.. go to options, turn on SMB.. then from the windows computer you should see the disk available in networking. If not fix the names to SMB standard.. you will need to do this on the TC as well.. short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric names. Copy some files from windows to your Mac.. you have now copied to a network drive.. with the drive format totally irrelevant to your windows computer.
    I'm sorry, but I don't know what "windows networking file protocol" and "SMB" mean.  Also, when you say "NAS" are you referring to the Time Capsule or another device?  Can you please explain things like "The disk is controlled by the Mac but it presents SMB to the network" in a less advanced way.  Pretend I'm a child.  You won't be far off.  It seems like this technique you're explaining is a way for the windows PC to write to the external drive via my MacBook.  Is that even close to correct?  The setup I must create needs to work regardless if macbook is on/off/out of the house.
    3) Does plugging a USB drive into the TC never work properly or is this just a semi-common problem that happens sometimes?  My odds of success will probably dictate whether I try this or not.  I already own the windows USB drive and would like to avoid buying more hardware if possible.
    It is problematic enough that I recommend you try it before committing to it. Even if you have to copy the files off to another location and then reformat the drive. Test it for a couple of days.. the issue happens especially when you are using Lion.. but will also happen with windows. Especially when the disk spins down it will not spin up again and become available to the network.
    Got it.
    4) What do you mean by files being in "native format"?  And what does a dead TC have to do with whether or not they can be recovered to the windows laptop?  If the TC dies, can't I just plug the windows USB drive directly into the windows laptop and it will be the same thing as connecting the drive and laptop via network?  How does a dead TC make things more difficult?
    Thanks for your continued help.
    HFS+ is not windows native format... so files stored by the TC on the USB drive.. when the TC dies.. they all die eventually may be difficult to recover unless you plug it into another TC.. as the PC cannot natively read them. If you format FAT32 then the windows computer can read it.. just there are other issues. eg the disk can be slow.. very slow and it has far less protection. eg a power failure can corrupt the drive.. this was an issue before we moved in windows to NTFS.
    Why do you say "files stored BY THE TC on the USB drive"  Why is the TC storing files on the USB drive?  Isn't plugging the USB into the TC just making the USB available on the network to my windows laptop?  Why is the TC storing files?

  • Problems accessing iTunes media folder on external drive via Mac

    I have recently got a Mac Book Pro and assumed it would be easy to access my iTunes library - which I store on a Buffalo external drive and normally access via my Asus vivobook laptop running windows 8 - by simplying plugging the external drive into the Mac Book Pro, opening iTunes while pressing on the Option key (as I understand it is called) and then selecting the iTunes library .itl file when invited to choose a library. However, when I do this, I get a message saying that "the .tl file is locked, on a locked disc or I do not have write permission for this file".
    If I click on the .itl file in the external drive via my Mac, it takes me straight into iTunes but, of course, without any of the content of my iTunes media folder.
    I can access the media on the external drive when it is plugged into my Mac and am not aware of ever having introduced any restrictions on the library .itl file (I normally switch the external hard drive between my Dell desktop and my Asus laptop).
    I have restarted my Mac Book Pro and quite iTunes etc. I also have the media folder correctly identified on the external hard drive in my iTunes preferences, Advanced Settings.
    I would be most grateful for any ideas as to what could be the problem here. 
    Thank you (in anticipation).
    Best,
    Michael

    Get info on the drive.  Check the format.  If it says NTFS it is a format that Macs cannot write to, only read, unless you install special software.  It is a common issue with using Windows drives on Macs.  "Locked" may mean iTunes cannot open it for full use since it needs to write to the library file as well as read it.
    Your solution may be to reformat the drive to something a Mac can use fully too, such as FAT (beware file size limits with large video files). or trying to work with a NTFS driver for Mac.

  • Why do I get error "The LDAP server is unavailable" while connecting to external domain via sync connection in SharePoint UPSA ?

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect to external domain via UPS Account having "Replicate Directory changes" permission on external domain while creating sync connection in UPSA.
    I have checked below URLS :
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1912bf88-8fec-4b5d-9d1e-a42db8318e33/ldap-server-is-unavailable-sharepoint-2010-user-synchronization?forum=sharepointadminprevious

    And looks like its network connectivity issue - and hence I have verified that port 389 is open by infra team.
    Note : I am able to connect to local AD , does it make sense that port is not open for external domain ? 
    Can anyone please let me know what can be the issue ? 
    Your help will be highly appreciated as I am struggling to fix this issue since  quite long time but no luck yet.
    Thank you in advance.
    Kind regards,

    Hi Dipti,
    If you have Two-Way trust relationship then not sure if you have tried below:
    Create a folder on the SharePoint server
    Go to Folder properties - Security tab
    Try adding user of the external domain on the folder
    Please let us know if you are able to add the user or not. If you are able to add then it means that the connection and trust is proper and you should be able to create sync connection in UPA without any issues or else there is some issue with the connectivity
    or the trust which is configured.
    Please also make sure that you have given permissions to sync account as per below TechNet:
