Web graphic links work on Mac, but not PC

I have two websites. The old one is DogToysAndTreats.com. The new one is FunStuffForDogs.com. I need to change the home page graphic on both of them to point to my shopping cart pages. I have done this and published the changes on both sites. It works on my Mac but not on my PC.
On www.funstufffordogs.com, the graphic at the top with the bulldogs is supposed to link to http://store.funstufffordogs.com/storefront.aspx. Same thing on www.dogtoysandtreats.com. It works on my Mac in both Safari and Chrome. On my PC, it doesn't work on IE, Safari or Firefox. (BTW, I haven't worked on any of the other links until I can figure out how to do it properly.)
I don't get why the platform has anything to do with it.

Looking at your source, the problem may be that the images refer to an external server link from the one actually hosting the website page. Whenever you try to mix servers on a single page, you depend on the network connectivity being reliable to all the servers simultaneously. This can be as much a problem on a Mac as a PC. Sometimes routers have bad router tables, or internet providers do, and this can cause issues for multiserver websites. Using on your router & network settings an OpenDNS DNS server can help:

Link works on mac but not on pc

Hi -
I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
So the url is: http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
Any idea why?
Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0

Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0. when I play the video in IE, I go into IE, and locate the mms link under properties, when I right click. If I copy the mms link form IE directly into firefox, it will work. There ought to be a better way to do this. Also, I am using a hardware firewall, not a software firewall, and no proxy.

You need to use the file:// protocol, but you may still encounter problems if you fix that.

Movie works on mac but not PC...help!

Hi!
Hopefully someone out there can help me...
I am trying to make a video play on a website that I designed. The video will play on a mac, but not a PC. When the user clicks on the link, the video (.mov) should start playing in whatever media player that computer has installed, either quicktime or windows media player. It isn't working on a PC. Maybe if I convert the video file to a windows media file or to a file that is easier read my a PC it would work? I don't know how to convert quicktime files into .wmv files.
help!!!
if you want to see the video, click on the "reel" link of www.williamday.net, then click on "reel" again in the middle of the page.

The problem is your page code (or lack of it).
You are directly linking to the file and bypassing any browser plug-in.

Map Widget - Works on Mac but not in Author

OK, I'm a nube when it comes to Dashcode just so that's out there. I managed to build a custom map widget with Google Maps. The widget works perfectly on my Macs but not in Author. In Author the default place holder remains empty. If I click "edit HTML" I get the Google map, but it's just a generic USA, not the one I created w/ places. Also iBooks refuses to import the book to my iPad until I delete this map.
Do I need to do something or insert special code in Dashcode to make this widget "Author compatible" or are map widgets not allowed?

jfk0404 - I believe that what you're referring to as the "unattractive cartoon-like figure in the widget" is actually the placeholder image for the widget as it appears inline on the page. Once you click that cartoon image the actual widget takes over full screen and loads the html content displaying a functional full size google map.
To replace the cartoon icon you have a few options. The first thing to do is create a new .png file to represent your widget as the placeholder image enticing your readers to click to open the full screen widget and load its dynamic contents. Perhaps a screen grab of your map would be a good idea?
Easy:
Drag your brand new .png image from the Finder into your open source iBooks Author file dropping it on the cartoon image. Done.
More Complex:
Right click (control-click) on the xxx.wdgt file that downloaded from http://classwidgets.com and choose "Show Package Contents." A Widget file is really just a special folder bundle with a .wdgt extension. In there you will find the Default.png file. Highlight the file and press the space bar to see a preview in the Finder's QuickLook feature. That's your cartoon image. Now replace that file with the one you created above. Done.

QTSS Works on Mac but not the other

I have a Server running OS X Server 10.5.8. I am running QTSS and Apache on this machine, however I am having issues with Quicktime streaming. One mac here is able to successfully stream but all other macs on our network fail to connect despite the QTSS "Connections" window shows the connection to the machine trying to stream the video. In the end on the client Quicktime X shows "Not Found" however I am able to connect to the server via other services (ARD, AFP, HTTP). I can post any logs that might help.
Thanks in advance

I couldn't remember what the Display Preferences had said when we tried this last spring and again in the summer, so tonight we connected it again, and wouldn't you know - it worked just fine. We didn't do anything different, so I have no clue as to why it worked this time but not before. He's thinking about getting his own big display, but didn't want to waste his money if he couldn't get it to work, so now I guess we're shopping for another 23" display - probably a used one. Thanks!

Links work in iWeb but not on web

I created a site (http://www.busybeetrader.com) in iWeb 1.2.2 and uploaded using Cyberduck FTP software. The links work in iWeb when I un-check the option to make them inactive. Once I upload my site, several of the links don't work. This has occurred multiple times.
I am also having problems with missing links to files. I open iWeb and get an error list of missing links. It includes pictures and PDF documents, mostly under the blog sections (Editorials).
Any help any one can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!

Links work in Dreamweaver but not online

Hello, I am trying to figure out why my flash files work correctly locally but don't after I upload them. I am using Mac Flash CS4 and AS2. (They were CS3 files originally)
When I use Safari to view the uploaded files and check the Activity window it shows the files load but they don't show up. I have a main swf and others are loaded into it using:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("flash/links.swf", 1);
Are there any known bugs/work arounds to be aware of? Thanks. -Derryl

Almost always when something works locally but not on line... it's a path problem. And I see that you are accessing your .swf from a sub file.... nothing at all wrong with that, but you do need to understand how pathing in Flash works:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

PC webcam works on Mac, but not on Toshiba P35...?

I recently got the Logitech Quickcam Communicate Deluxe webcam, which is made to work with Windows XP & Vista computers. Without installing a thing, I plugged it in to my Mac (running Tiger 10.4.11) — and it works flawlessly (the camera is Video Class [UVC] compliant, which works with built-in drivers on this Mac). However, this camera is specifically made to run with Windows, not Mac, so I was very surprised to have horrible results on the Toshiba laptop.
We've spent days trying to get acceptable results, but the video is extremely slow and choppy on the Toshiba. I've talked with Logitech, and the Toshiba exceeds all of it's requirements to run the camera — they are stumped, and suggested we contact you for help.
Here's the rundown:
Toshiba Satellite (P35-S629)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.33GHz
1.00GB of RAM
Windows XP
Home Edition
Service Pack 3
(all Windows updates are up-to-date)
What we've tried:
• Installing the latest, updated Logitech Drivers and Software, doing a"Clean Boot" so as not to conflict with any other software
• Uninstalling the Logitech Software
• Uninstalling the Logitech Drivers and using the pre-installed Drivers on the Toshiba
I've checked the CPU usage, nothing running except the minimum, maybe 1 or 2%.
The Toshiba has three Enanced USB 2 ports — it makes no difference if the camera is the only USB device connected.
I've run the camera with the Logitech Software, and without it, directly in Skype — the results are the same, a frame every few seconds. Changing the Exposure rate (in Logitech's Software, and/or in Skype's) has no discernable effect.
Is there any other setting on the Toshiba I can try to adjust, or a driver that might work better than either the Windows drivers (or the Logitech Drivers)? Logitech tells us that because the camera works flawlessly, with no choppyness whatsoever, on the Mac, that this is a problem with the laptop. Any suggestions on what we could try would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Jenrou

Well ... I tried a powered usb hub — made sure to get a hi-speed AC powered usb 2.0 one (480Mbps transfer rate, 500 mA each port) — but it made no difference. I also tried a few other things, and maybe (?) the answer is in what I found out.
1. Under My Computer>Scanners and Cameras I can open if I use the xp installed drivers, but not with the Logitech drivers installed. Using the xp drivers, when I open I get a little video screen, and (ah ha!) it runs smoothly, no delayed choppy-ness, but (ah crud!) it has constant interference in the picture: the video blips with Red, Blue, Green and Blk/Wht images lasting a fraction of a second. But it does move smoothly, as if live.
2. Tried another video program, to see if this might work runing something else, so I downloaded a basic video capture program (Debut Video Recording) and ran that (btw it would not run with the Logitech drivers, only with the xp drivers). It also ran smooth video, and without the blips flashing across it; but this program also produces a low res image — a jaggy, pixilated one. But ... it does react, again, smoothly as if live.
Skype, Quikcam Software, and Sightspeed all still run video very slow and choppy.
So now I'm back to wondering if this is a hardware issue. Is it a deficiency with the Satellite P35 to process or render webcam video? For what it's worth, the laptop can play video off the internet, or dvd movies just fine. the camera runs fine, but 1. and 2. above make me wonder if the laptop can't process a decent live camera feed? And if it is a hardware issue, is there any upgrade option or solutions?
(note: Toshiba's description calls the P35-S629 "the ultimate gaming machine, loaded with the latest in everything, including a 17" WXGA display w/TruBrite for the best in graphics. The 16:9 aspect ratio make it perfect for viewing wide-screen format movies!The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor supports Hyper-Threading Technology, improving the performance of many applications. The ATI discreet graphics optimize visuals without compromising system performance....producing images so sharp they are mesmerizing from across the room...With razor-sharp images, robust sound and intense power it all adds up to the ultimate gaming machine.")

I'd really like to solve this, and feel like a reason for the crappy results must be close to an explanation after all this. I have to believe that this pc camera should work on the Toshiba laptop.
Thanks so much,
Jenrou

Nav hover & visited links works in IE but not in Firefox, Chrome, etc.

I created 2 side-by-side horizontal nav bars below the header tag with div tags and css. The left nav bar uses different colors than the right one. The load, hover and visited colors all work fine in Internet Explorer. When I test them in Firefox, Chrome, Opera and hand held devices, this is what happens:
If I click on any of the links in the right nav bar, all the links in the right nav bar turn to the visited color.
Or, if I click on any of the links in the left nav bar and all the links in both nav bars turn to the visited color.
Thanks!

Did you define a full set of link states for the #left and #right sidebars? It could be that some other links styles are cascading down to your sidebars. Another way to insure good cross browser results is to define link states in the following sequence: aLiVHAF = a, link, visited, hover, active, focus (optional for keyboard users)
CSS:
#left a {text-decoration:none}
#left a:link {color: red}
#left a:visited {color:gray}
#left a:hover,
#left a:active,
#left a:focus {color: green}
Repeat same rule order for #right sidebar

Flash drive works on Mac but not PC

I got this new flash drive. It's a generic brand. The first thing I did was plugged it into my iMac, saved a few files, and renamed the drive. However, when I plug it into a PC, essentiallly any version of Windows, it won't show up. On Windows XP, it'll try to recognize it when I first put it into the port, then it'll say that it failed to recognize it. After that, it just won't bother with it anymore. On Windows 7 Ultimate, it does nothing. Haven't tried Vista.
I thought that it was a problem with the Windows OS, so I tried looking for the drive in Disk Management. It just doesn't show up at all, anywhere. Plugging it into a Windows is like doing nothing.
It works perfectly fine on Mac, it reads, writes, copies, everything. So I reformatted the drive with Disk Utility using FAT32, even partitioned it, all MS-DOS. I actually did this several times and tried plugging it into both the XP and 7, but still nothing happens. I just don't understand what could possibly be wrong with it.
I saw reviews on it and every single person says they have had no problem with it on their PC. One even said it works just fine between PC and Mac.
Is mine just defective or is there something I haven't done?

Your flash drive needs to be formatted to be in FAT32 format. That is the file structure that is compatible with both Windows PC's and Macs. (If you formatted it for a Mac and it's "Journaled" then it will ONLY work on Macs.)
But to be able to do this, you have to erase the entire Flash drive and start over. So you will need to back up your files somewhere else first.
Here is a link to eHow that takes you through the steps:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5929724_format-drive-work-mac-pc.html
I have had many issues with flash drives being incompatible in Windows 7. You might need to manually upgrade the flash drive's drivers or visit the manufacturer's website for troubleshooting issues with Windows 7. If you formatted the drive to FAT32 already, and it works on the Mac, then this is no long a "Mac issue". Your time would be better spent in the manufacturer's support forums. (or a Windows 7 support forum)

Links work in iWeb, but not in browser

Using a blank template. established a photoshop background and placed transparent rectangles over the images and linked the rectangles. In iWeb (1.1.2), they work fine. but they do not work in the browser. I noticed a problem someone had by accidentally creating "floating" boxes. I have reworked all of my links with no luck. Help!!!

I answered your question yesterday:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10520122&tstart=0
Nothing has changed.
The footer of the page covers the links.
The links themselves are 0x0 pixels. The shape-images are 1x1 pixels.
Whether or not links work in iWeb is irrelvant. They should work in the browser.
Check, check, check.

DB Link - works via SQL but not via packages

I have a database link on user ODB on database A, to database B. The DB Link seems fine for SQLs that i do, but doesn't compile in my package code. Please tell me why it works for "regular sqls" but not inside a package.
Example: while connected as ODB user on database A, if I do this query:
SELECT "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."FILE_NAME",
"TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."FILE_TYPE",
FROM "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"@TRAXDOC_LINK
WHERE "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."TRAXDOC_ROW_ID" = 100031 AND
"TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."TRAXDOC_LINE"= 2
It works fine. But the same query inside a package that is owned by user ODB on database A will not compile, stating the table/view does not exist.
The database link is owned by use ODB on database A, connects directly to the owner of the tables in question on database B.
Any suggestions welcome... this is an urgent issue, because it also worked fine on my customer's test environment, but not on their Production that they just upgraded. I need to know what to look for as to what could be wrong.

Thanks so much for your response - Prefixing the call to the table within the package, with the schema owner does indeed solve the problem. Since this is a Production issue, i have implemented this fix in my customer's database.
However, I would still like this issue permanently resolved. The next time we send out updated package code, this will happen again (unless we then fix it again). I'd still like info from anyone on what exactly must be done to allow the call within the package to work without specifically pre-fixing the table's schema owner. It shouldn't be needed... The DB link is connecting via the same schema on database B that owns the table in question.
pre-fixing the schema owner is something we don't do in our sql statements, and this has worked fine for many of our cusomer's environments. We're only seeing this issue on one environment.

Internal links work in FF but not IE

After two days of trying everything and searching all forums I have got nowhere so here goes. Site has worked fine but when I created a new page (via save as and from a DWT file) any links on the home page to the new page do not work in IE9 but they are fine in FF. If i change the link to a page created befor the problem then it works fine so the issue is not the location of the link.
the site is profitmanagement.co.uk but the version up is from before the problem - no point putting up a site that doesnt work!. I've reinstalled IE and have Norton antivirus so I doubt if the issue is malware.
Thanks

I'm very surprised they work in any browser. If you use Save As with a DWT file, your links will always be wrong. To create a file from a DWT file, you should use File > New > Page from Template. As long as your DWT files are in the original Templates folder in the site root, the links should be correctly formed.
