What do I do about broken links?

iTunes is all of a sudden telling me that the "original file cannot be located" on my entire library of nearly 700 tracks. is there a way to fix this without relocating each track individually? If not, is there a way to clear all the broken links out of the iTune window and start out fresh? I have tried uninstalling and re-downloading iTunes, but that did not fix my problem. Thank you for your help!!

Wait until it shuts off due to low battery, then charge it back up.

Question About Broken Link

How do I determine the cause of an item being placed in the broken link list after doing a site check?

Rick and Ben:
You have been very patient with me
Guess at 81 I am starting to lose it - the code and screen shots I put in my email apparently did not make the trip
I will study how to use the forum tools and get back to you if I grasp the procedures required
Thanks again

Remove broken links in RH 7.0.2

I'm working on a project where the Help covers two different releases of a plug-in Adapter. I thought I was going to have to have two different sets of files for one section of the product for release 4 and release 5, so I copied the existing folder and had "feature" and "feature4" folders. Then, as it turned out, there weren't that many differences, so I deleted the "feature4" fodler. I deleted the files and folder from within RoboHelp, so I assumed that if there had been any problems, I would have received a warning. Apparently I was wrong. =(
Now I have Broken Links that refer to that deleted "feature4" folder. I do NOT want to restore those files, because I don't need them. I've checked all the hyperlinks in the topics in the "feature" folder and in the generated output, and they all seem to work.
So, my question is, what file does RoboHelp use to store hyperlinks? Is there any way to go in and hack the code to remove broken links to files that you have deleted and don't want to restore?

Well that only took me three hours. I had four broken links to repair. At one point I had one fixed and then it came back. *shakes fist at sky*
Can I just say that the Broken Links feature is remarkably unhelpful and non-intuitive?
For anyone else who is here searching for answers, here's what I did. (because "go in and fix it manually" is remarkably UNhelpful if you don't know what you're looking for)
Under the Broken Links folder, double-click the broken link reference.
In the Topic References dialog, click one of the references, then click Edit. The topic will open.
Click the HTML tab so you're looking at the code view.
In the toolbar, go to Edit > Find.
Search for links within the HTML code (I used part of the HTML code for a link, "href" as my search term).
When you find the link code that matches what is shown in the Broken Links view, fix the link (edit the code, or place your cursor in the link then click the Design tab, then remove/replace the hyperlink).
Two of my links required me to search the code as described above. I searched the code view and located the references to the "feature4" folder and deleted or corrected them. The other two were links to deleted or renamed files, so I clicked Restore in the Topic References dialog box, recreated the files, then deleted the recreated files. That seemed to fix those links.
Oy, now to get some actual work done today!

[CS5.5/CS6] what causes a kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss to throw an exception with broken links?

I have a problem in both CS5.5 and CS6 on MacOS X.
During a drag operation onto an InDesign document, I import and place some images onto a page. This normally works without issue except in one case. The problem case is when I'm trying to import an image that is the same file path as a broken link on the document. This will crash InDesign everytime.
Let me provide some details.
First, I create an InDesign document, drag some images from the Finder and place them on the page and save the InDesign document to file. Now I go to the Finder and delete the images (or just move them to a different Folder). I then go back to InDesign and look at the Links panel where the red stop signs now appear near the images to show that the links are broken.
Next I go to a panel that I'm working on where I can drag an item from the panel and onto the InDesign document page. In this I have a ProcessDragDropCommand method that over rides the method in the CDragDropTargetFlavorHelper class, and during that method it copies the images that I just deleted back into their original locations on the file system.
After copying the files, the process then tries to import one of the images into a new frame using the PlaceFileInFrame method from the InDesign SDK file SDKLayoutHelper.cpp. This method creates a kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss and when executing the line:
if (CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(importAndPlaceCmd) != kSuccess) {
causes an exception that appears in the crash report as:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILUE at 0x0000000000000000
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
with a stack trace that points to the CmdUtils::ProcessCommand() line mentioned above.
I've tried relinking the images before the import and place, but that still doesn't work. If I break the process up so that in one drag event I copy the missing files back into place and relink them, then in a second drag event I then do an import and place it all works okay. It's just when I try the full task of copy images into place in the file system, relink the images on the InDesign document and then import and place an image in a new frame on the InDesign page that the exception is appearing.
Instead of the kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss I've also tried the kImportAndLoadPlaceGunCmdBoss with the same problem.
Interestingly, in the SDKLayoutHelper method PlaceFileInFrame that I'm using, there's a pragma message:
#pragma message("LINKREWORK: Temporary, fix this up later!")
// TODO: LINKREWORK fix.
From the wording I'm wondering if this is related to the problem that I'm seeing. In which case does anyone know what this fix might entail?
I've tried tried relinking using ReinitResource and UpdateLinks methods that are a part of the ILkniFacade but that doesn't seem to help stop the crash.
Oddly, I can generate a strange and maybe related error (that doesn't use my plugins and just the raw InDesign functionality) if I do something like:
In InDesign, create an InDesign document.
From the Finder, drag some images onto the InDesign document page.
In InDesign, save the document.
In the Finder, rename the folder containing the images.
In InDesign, check that the links really are broken with the red stop signs appearing.
In the Finder, rename the folder containing the images back to what it was before.
(Extra Step)
In the Finder, redrag the same images that you did before onto the InDesign page.
This will cause InDesign to throw up the following error message:
Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application
Of course, if in the above you introduce an Extra Step where you just go back to InDesign and do nothing. InDesign will relink the once missing images, so that when you go back to the Finder to drag the images there's now no problem.
This is almost like InDesign needs a few IdleTasks in order to sort out its perception of the file system. If that's the case then I'm a bit stuck as I'm trying to do everything during a single drag operation and there's no chance of any IdleTasks occuring.
Any ideas?

I have checked the Tomcat log, which does not give

         throw new MessageDAOSysException("Error executing SQL in ThreadHandler.createThread."); // line 54 where the problem occurredto simply read:
        throw se;and the actual Exception you want to investigate will go in to the file where you found the above. This will be less useful in the long run as you'll have the same problem when you want to query the SQLException further with System.out.println(se.getSQLState()); etc.
You could add a logging configuration to your servlets context in server.xml so you can define where such messages get logged.
Alternatively you could use a logging API like log4j.

What do I do to fix a "broken link" in iDVD?

What do I do to fix a "broken link" in iDVD?

I am having this problem, too, but only with movies made prior to 2012. When I attempt to navigate to and select the audio and or the video file it gives me a path (users/myname/desktop/moviename.iMovieProject/Shared Movies/Video) find file takes me to my hard drive. At that point, I go into Users, find thhouse with my name (the only user), go to desktop and cannot find moviename.iMovieProject. If I just try to find the file by clicking find file it searches and the wheel never stops.
I know that iDVD is no longer supported, but I have a feeling that everything is still here, I just cannot locate the necessary parts....

Broken link to Presenter 8 Trial download

Broken link to trial:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=presenter
How about "Request Information", maybe some one can send me a good link?
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=contact_us&sa=elearning
Another Broken Link. Hmm. This is getting complicated.
OK, diferent approach. Google "adobe presenter 8 trial". Ahh, this looks good:
https://www.adobe.com/go/trypresenter
Broken Link
Back to Google. Second link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=153&platform=Windows
Jackpot! Finally a good link.
Download latest full install 7.0.7. Error during installation: "Error - Unable to detect Microsoft Powerpoint", which is odd, since I have PP installed.
Google errormessage, and discover 7.0.7 doesn't support 64-bit PP 2010. Sigh.
8.0.2 does, apparently, but the only file for that is an upgrade - not an installer.
Guess I should report those broken links, right? Maybe if they get those fixed, I'll be able to get the Presenter 8 install?
So, took the "Broken Link" link from error page I get when accesing first link above, and it takes me to http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/contact.html
No obvious place to report a broken link. Feedback? OK, I'll try that.
Report a bug? Closest thing I see:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Broken Link!
So I can't download a trial that I can install, even though I have a supported product installed, I can't report thebroken Link, and, of course, it being a weekend, I can't contact Adobe Support.
Frustrating. If this is the quality of the web site, what does that say about the quality of the products?
Anyway, I still want to try the trial, but in the meantime, I guess I'll try Authorpoint.

delete your adobe.com cookie and retry https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=presenter

Broken Links in iTunes - files have not been moved

Hi,
I'm running iTunes on my XP machine. I have about 10,000 tracks in my library. Every so often (well quite often nowadays) I get a load of tracks that have the exclamation mark next to them saying the file can't be found. I have not moved any of the tracks. When I double click ont he first offending track it asks if I want to locate it. I click OK, and it presents the folder where the file actually is (and always has been!) I then have to go through the rest of my library - each track with an exclamation mark just needs to be double clicked and it miraculously remembers where the file is!
OK, so the questions are:
1) Why is iTunes forgetting the locations of files that haven't moved? I'm guessing there might be some issue with the iTunes Music Library.xml - but I ahve no idea what.
2) Can I stop it happening? Obviously the best solution is to dump windows and buy a mac - which will be happening in a month or so...
3) If I can't stop it happening, is there a way for iTuens to just show me the broken links so that I can go through the double-clicking process easily?
4) If I delete the library and recreate, will iTuens remember things like bespoke artwork, ratings, etc?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
X.

+"4) Absolutely not; the ITL file holds ratings, playcount, date added and other metadata that will be lost. And you can't get it back by rebuilding your library from the XML file."+
Actually, this is exactly what you can do with the XML file. Prior to iTunes 5.0, importing the XML did not capture rating, playcounts, etc. even though the data was written to the XML file. Since then, you can recreate your Library completely by importing the XML file.
A while ago I performed two tests:
a) One where I deleted the total song references from the Library, then 'imported' the XML file (from a previously saved iteration)
b) The other, I opened iTunes with no Library database to start, forcing it to act like a new install, then imported the XML file
In both cases, the XML file was completely read, including Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes. All playlists (both Smart & Static) were recreated in their proper folders. It seems to have recreated the Library almost as well as the ITL file would. Looks as if iTunes v6.0.1 (and later) now reads and uses the complete XML file upon 'import'.
I say 'almost', as there were settings differences when starting from a 'virgin' iTunes. Also (and this is important), the create/load time when using the XML file was severely long. iTunes needed to read, interpret, and act on the information within the XML file and that took a long time. At that time, I had close to 12,000 song references and over two dozen playlists. Using a 'good' backup ITL file is an almost instantaneous fix.
Bottom line: Either file will work in recreating the Library. A backup ITL file, in my opinion, is still the easiest and fastest way to recreate your Library if one has a choice. In some cases, where one cannot place the music into the correct path for the ITL file to work properly, one can globally change the XML file to reflect the new path and use that for a very close approximation. I would suggest making and archiving legacy copies of both files a big part of your backup strategy (along with the music files, of course).
Hope this clears things up for you.
Best of Luck

How do I fix "broken links" in iTunes?

Hey Guys!
I just got my first ipod and I'm going insane trying to set it up this morning. The main problem is that for some reason iTunes decided to add each of my songs twice, but then marked one with that "!" sign that I think idicates a broken link. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and for the life of me I can't determine why it's doing this.
Shouldn't it just automatically know the files don't exist and take them out of my library?
Or, can I tell it to go fix the broken links? If so what is the command for doing that?
I am running Windows Vista if that makes a difference. And my brand new ipod is a 16GB Nano (but I have about 70 GB of mp3 files - I'm having to pick and choose what goes on my Nano, which is fine).
I'm sorry if this turns out to be a "duh" solution but I can't find a good answer anywhere online (I tried ITLU and that complex playlist solution from PaulMayne.com already, to no avail).
Thank you so much

I'm having the same problem. Also using OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2).
Any ideas how to fix this?

Project very slow to restore broken links

Good morning! I have 12 RH projects that I work on weekly. A
lot of updates come from Word files and over the course of the week
the .cpd file in most of them gets large. So I rename it and
rebuild it launching the .xpj file. I often end up with a number of
broken links, but they can be quickly restored with Tools/Restore
Links. Except for 1. This project is a new file that is the result
of separating it from another project. I carefully recreated the
folder structure and imported all the topics. The project runs
fine. But when I rebuild its .cpd file the resulting broken links
take 30-40 seconds a piece to restore...since there are hundreds
and hundreds of broken links...this is not good. They all restore,
nothing is truly missing...but where can I look to see what the
problem is? My other projects, the links restore like popcorn and I
can stack keystrokes and let it work. This one is miserable.
There are no framesets...no video, nothing fancy. This is
just html text with a fair number of popup graphic images, normal
graphics and baggage files. Some files restore quickly so its not
universal....but it takes over an hour to put this project back
together when the others just fly.
We're still on RH 5.0 but have 7.0 in the building to test.
Is there anything specific I can look for in a topic that would
explain this behavior? I'm really stumped on this one...it just
doesn't act like the others! The project has 2600 files so this can
be painful. All suggestions are welcomed! I have a page full of
file names I notice 'hang'...but when I look at them I don't see
anything different. ???

As long as you are familiar with the concepts of HTML/XML
coding it's really easy. If you aren't, it'll look a little scary
at first. I'll post some examples to hopefully help. Make sure you
have RoboHelp closed, and I think you may also need to delete the
cpd file before opening the project again (I
think it remembers some of this stuff and will wipe out your
changes).
The fpj lists all folders and files in a directory. So for
example, this directory contains one subfolder and one topic:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<rhpml majorversion="1" minorversion="0">
<folders>
<folder>
<name>Samples</name>
</folder>
</folders>
<topics>
<topic>
<name>Viewing_the_Log.htm</name>
<comments></comments>
<frameset>0</frameset>
</topic>
</topics>
</rhpml>
If there aren't any subfolders, it should be like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<rhpml majorversion="1" minorversion="0">
<folders/>
<topics>
<topic>
<name>Viewing_the_Log.htm</name>
<comments></comments>
<frameset>0</frameset>
</topic>
</topics>
</rhpml>
The main thing is to ensure you get the tag pairs correct. If
you are a bit concerned about getting it wrong, re-importing
(rather than restoring) all the topics "should" add them into the
fpj files correctly.
(fingers crossed that the code displays properly...
)

Strange Broken Link

I have an SQL Report with a link to a detail page.
The link works for 9 out of the 10 rows, but on the 10th row, I'm getting a http 404, broken link error. The link is the same, session is the same, and the only difference is value of the key being passed into the next page. To make this even more strange, when I cut and paste the hyperlink into a new browser, the link works!
Any ideas? Where can I look to find a potential problem?

Nope...I use application items for keys used on multiple pages to simplify linkage and minimize parameter passing. I'm pretty darn certain about what caused this....
First, I copied the page that was returning the 404 into a new page and started removing functionality with the hopes of identifying the problem area. Please realize that the page would work perfectly and then would suddenly stop rendering, so I new that something (data, code) was causing the intermittent issue.
The first thing I did was remove ALL conditional logic on all items within the page and it still didn't render. Then I started deleting objects (on the copied page). The first thing I deleted was all the buttons, and sure enough, the page rendered perfectly, so I knew the problem was somewhere within the buttons. I moved all the buttons to specific region locations ('edit', 'create', 'create2', 'next', 'previous', etc.) and sure enough, the page rendered perfectly, using the exact same data that caused the problem, without any other changes. I've had no problems since.
Because there seem to be doubts about this, I just recreated the problem. I moved all of the buttons to region template position #change# and it worked fine. I moved all of the buttons to region template position #create# and bang, the problem has reappeared. So the issue is within the #create# position. It causes a complete abort with an HTTP 404.

Broken links with index keywords

Using RH 8, I have 20 broken links associated with index keywords. can someone advise how to easily get rid of these broken links?
Many thanks

I assume you are talking about links to index keywords rather than unused index keywords. If so, you have references to those index keywords somewhere inside your project. Your options are to repair the links or remove the references. If you right click on each broken link there are options to Edit, Restore and Show References which will help you find out what is going on.

Broken Links not fixed after being changed-HELP PLEASE!

I am trying to fix a website I created for a friend. I created it in Dreamweaver CS6 on a Mac. Everything was working on the website, the pitures were showing up and now 2 of the pages arent working. On both pages the spry bar is not working and some of the pictures will not show up. I have went to find broken links and redirected it to the correct file but it is not changing anything. I am not sure how to fix this problem, if anyone has any advice that would be great!! The website is www.serenityatthebeach.com.

That line read correctly when I looked at it on the broken page colorcutstyle. I copied the code from the page if that would help. I hope this helps.
