List of paths of missing link
Bit hard to explain, but my goal is to make a script to essentially check the current open document for missing links and then retrieve the (former) paths for any list found there (so part of this path can be copy & pasted by the user into a tool of recovery of the Archives of works of ancient art)
Perhaps you could paste in a list in a box on the editing table, or individual boxes of yellow next to each missing link, but I don't know how can I retrieve the path to use anywhere, it would be even possible?
That's how i've got.
If (link.status is LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING)
If (link.status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING) {}
Alert (link.filePath);
}
(this is to make a step forward)

How to find info for Missing Linked Smart Object
I received a file from another vendor, and they have a layer of dynamic object bound within the photoshop file that is missing.
Is it possible to determine the layer file name/path/owner? In Illustrator and InDesign, it's possible, but I see no way to determine any info on the link. I need to communicate to the seller, what lack us.
Hello
You do not get the missing link dialog box?
Another place to look is in the properties panel with the targeted layer.

I replaced my XP PC and copied all documents, pictures etc on my new Windows 7 machine. My problem is that all of the InDesign CS5 files created previously now have missing links. Is there a work around or do I go through each document and solve the problem of the missing link, a link at the same time?

The packaging is certainly the best solution. Better yet would be packaging to a shared network drive or an external hard drive that can be put back on the new computer. Better yet, if you have access to a network, both computers to network together and share a folder so that you can package directly to the new computer from the old computer.
The only other way I can think of to make sure that you do not lose the links is to make sure that the binding paths are completely identical from one computer to another, which is difficult when you switch operating systems. But I always recommend packing files, especially when you are finished with them. It encapsulates all your work files in a folder that contains everything you need to edit the file in the future - even if you move and have to re-bind the links.

Favorites bar photostream missing links to explore
Nice day! I accidentally deleted icloud / photostream links in the "Favorites" in the Explorer section - and there is no way to recover them. I tried everything, even complete wipe iTunes and all the remaining registry entries, but no luck. I often use these links (well, have used - now, I don't have them) and it would be nice if someone could help me in my quest. Thank you!
Good afternoon, zhker -.
I understand that you are missing links to iCloud and photo stream on your computer Windows 10. If you have not already done so, try to download iCloud for Windows to see if that solves the problem.
Have a great day!

Library CC items disappear during the PDF conversion + missing links
I created an InDesign document, and I transferred artworks, which is available on my local PC in a CC library dedicated to the project that I have 2 or 3 different sizes posters designed for the same project.
Everything seems fine, until I have try to re - open documents where it is suddenly said that:
"This document contains 14 links to sources that are missing. You can find or reedit the missing links using the links Panel. »
So, I 'OK' cela and shows me my paper and lo-and-behold, the missing link in sources are all displayed AND are all in my CC library for the project.
Except that when I export the document to PDF, so I can send it to my printer, the elements are all absent and is replaced by a blank square!
Aaarrggghh! I've spent a lot of money on this software exactly prevent shit stupid, silly, like what is happening and yet there it is again with the same old nonsense IT inexplicable that does nothing but make me want to move to the forest and a whittler of spoon.
Is this a known bug, how can I fix it and
I use WIndows 10 and have all the updates that are installed for InDesign and CC library.
Thank you for any advice or assistance. I'd appreciate it really, because as it is, the software is useless at the moment.

Remove the missing link of file-word (text) link
I'm working on a former Indesign file that has the Word documents that are related to it. The links are missing, but the text takes the form of editable text so it has not lost.
Can I copy and paste into a new text frame to solve the problem of the missing link.
But it's a lot of work for a whole book. It would be perfect if I could break the link the Word of my frames of text file, but this option does not appear.I found 2-7 years old questions on the Adobe forums no useful response.
Can someone help me with this?
Thank you!
"Ungroup" should be available in the context menu, if you click on the link in the links Panel.
Since my German InDesign:
Hope, that helps.

CS6: reports of the missing links, but when I check the links all is good
Whenever I open this certain InDesign file, it says links are missing. But then I go to control panel links and utilities > search for missing links. No problem found. But then, when I go to package the file, I get the message of missing links again. Help please.
Maybe something like a linked image in a .ai file related.

Whenever I open a document created by another person, based on a model she inherited, the missing links, dialog box appears indicating an image on the PB is no longer tied. I have tried everything I can think of expand PB and looking image, but nothing helped. Even looking at the image, it is not an image, I recognize any publication created from this original model. Any ideas? Is there a way to simply remove the picture in the window?
Are all visible layers and have you looked on the master page?

When the path is missing from the Illustrator file, the problem occurs
When the path is missing from the Illustrator file, it keeps duplicating well the path is absent from and cannot do anything else in the file
Sorry about that - it happens to PSD files too. The solution is either to the back file where she there or, if you do not have the file, the set (of the same type) _any_ file in the old location renamed the old file name just if she continues to complain.
Or, if you don't need the project, just leave Ch and delete project - it will create a new on the next launch.
If you know in advance that you will be willing to delete the files to work on disk that are still referenced, you can avoid this problem by selecting the puppet in the project Panel, and unchecking the option "Auto-sync with the work" in the properties panel. Manual synchronization is then possible to check and uncheck this option.
We have already fixed this bug here at the factory in Seattle, so it won't be a problem in Preview 2 and later versions.

My indesign won't open 3 missing links
I was open a file that was created before and there were a few missing links, about 16. I tried to recreate a link to them and it worked without any problems, except for the 3 files.
When I try to recreate a link to these files (they are jpg and 1 pdf file) Indesign gives me the following error:
Either the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application.
I checked and it is not open somewhere else, the file exist and I checked the permission which seemed correct settings...Also tried to re-record the files under a different name, placed on my desk, made a copy. nothing has worked.
If someone know a solution I would be very grateful!
You can open images in an external editor?
If they are jpeg or png or gif - save as tiff
If they are tiff - save as psd
If they are psd - save as tiff
Or another file format let us know.
Try to place the newly stored images then.

Remove all the missing links with frames
How can I make a script to remove all the missing links with frames in indesign?
var doc = app.activeDocument;
Links var = doc.links;for (var i = links.length - 1; i > = 0; i--) {}
If (links [i] .status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING) {}
try {}
Links [i] .parent. Remove();
var image = link.parent;
var frame = image.parent;
Frame.Remove ();
counter ++;}
{} catch (err)
$.writeln (i + "-" + err);
}
}
}I have try this script, but still remain a framework, what is wrong with that?
It works for me:
var link, image, frame, doc = app.activeDocument, links = doc.links, counter = 0; for (var i = links.length-1; i >= 0; i--) { if (links[i].status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING) { try { link = links[i]; image = link.parent; frame = image.parent; frame.remove(); counter++; } catch (err) { $.writeln(i + " - " + err); } } }

How to make a list of all the missing files in a catalog in LR2?
Is there an easy way to get a list of all the missing files for thumbnails in Lr2? I know that the symbol that appears in the upper right of any particular photo that does not contain the file, but how can I get a list of all these photos for a catalogue (or at least large chunks of a catalog).
Thank you.
You can click with the right button on a folder and choose synchronize - it has a button to display the missing files.
