Lightroom 3 offline help file location?

I'm sure this has been answered 2 million times already in this forum but various searches ("offline lightroom help file") don't get me very far (I have found the URL for 2.0 though...). Checked the Lightroom FAQ and release notes too.
Any pointer will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
(shame on Adobe for making it so hard to find something so essential - what about a direct link to download this from the help menu?)

Top right corner of linked page http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/index.html Click on pdf symbol to download.
It's also worth noting that when connected to internet above is the page you get taken to when you click Lightroom Help in the application Help menu or hit F1

Offline Help Files for Lightroom 3.5?

I understand that these offline help files do exist, but I'm unable to find them.
Online help files are totally useless with the Broadband speed available in the sticks where I live!
Will some kind soul please help?

There's a link in the upper right corner of the LR help screen that lets you see a PDF of the help file.
Once you have that showing in your browser, there's a "save" button. The PDF is about 10 megabytes, but you only have to download it once.

Cannot find CS6 offline help file

Hi,
When I try to opne the Dreamweaver CS6 help file by clicking on help in the help menu or F1 Dreamweaver opens the site http://helpx.adobe.com/de/dreamweaver/topics.html but not the offline help file. I can see that the Adobe help applcation gets started but it terminates after a few seconds. How can I open the offline CS6 help file? Why idoes Adobe help application terminates after a few seconds? Thank you for your help.
Regards

The answer above is not quite what the first post asked.
In many parts of CS6 - like setting up a site for instance, there is a help button that does not work if you are offline. Local internet services in my part of the world are rubbish at best and hopeless at worst, so it is not always possible to get on line help. This does not help the working day at all.
I have an installation of CS5.5 and when I click on a help link within the program, it finds my offline help files and displays the correct help for the topic.
I just installed CS6 for the first time on a new PC expecting the same. There appears to be no offline help available, nor can I see any way to install it.
After a major search operation on the adobe website, I did find two pdf help files for CS5, one of which has some help for CS6, but not a lot, and another that contains the same help + 20 or so pages for the creative cloud version, which is of no use to me. For a program that cost a vast amount to purchase, removing the built in help is not what I expected, though I am not at all surprised.
So is there a way to set up offline help without having the pdf file always open just in case? Or are we stuck with a no help system?

Adobe Reader X: offline help file?

hello,
I'd like the F1 link on the Help Menu to open a local offline Help file, not start my browser to go to Adobe's online HTML help pages. Is this possible? Where do I find the necessary file(s)?
I already have saved the reader_X_help.pdf file available via a link on the online Adobe pages, which I certainly will read to get the maximum out of the reader, but context-sensitive F1 key offline help is very convenient and much faster than starting my browser.

Does anyone know were I can obtain the French version of the help pdf?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/reader/using/reader_X_help.pdf
I've tried changing the language local as per Adobe's suggestions to fr_FR, fr_CA, and CA_fr.
It is always redirected to the en_US link above.

Change chm help file location in SBO

Hi,
I have a problem in SBO where the help file location for when I press F1 in SBO is using the wrong server name and I need to update it. I can see this via Top Menu > Help > Help Settings. Now I can't see where I change this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I suggest to resintall SAP B1 in your server, and do not forget to install help file. After that, repeat the step to activate the help file in the help settings.
Rgds,

Keeping offline help files up-to-date

Months ago, I've downloaded the help files for all the CC applications to my Shared/Documents/Adobe/PDF/pdf/ folder for offline help when hitting F1 from within the application. And that's fine, it works.
But now I wonder, how do I keep them easily up-to-date.
I know I can go to that page again and download them manually over and over again... but that's a hassle.
Then I tried to remove the offline files to restore the online link, but that doesn't work.
How do you get online help back under the F1 button?
Or is there a solution to to refresh the offline files with a single click?
Any ideas?

Jeff, it's NOT a specific product inquiry!
I have 15 offline help pdf files, for 15 products (AE, AU, BR, DW, FL, AI, IC, ID, PS, PL, PR, ...). It is an installation question. I can't go post this question in each of the 15 products, right?
I know you want to help, but this is discussion about being a the right forum is not helping me... sorry.
So back to the real problem:
I know that my link shows the pdf's for the OFFLINE help.
I want the ONLINE link back, as it is with a default installation.
I know that this is possible because here at work I have them offline, while at home I use the online help.
EDIT:
When I create a new user in OS X, that user has the online help system. So there must be a preference setting in my local user folder that regulates that. I could try to delete all my preferences files, but that is a bit drastic and time consuming to reset everything to my likes.

Where Can I Download Offline Help Files for Creative Cloud?

The heading says it all. I am not always connected to the internet and, in any event, I find the on-line help annoying and tedious. I can only find PDF help files for CS4, where can I get them for CS6?

That is not off-line help, it is simply a PDF file full of links to on-line resources. It is next to useless. I want to be able to look at teh help document and get answers to questions, not links to answers.

Essbase Visual Basic API - Help File locations

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help. Normally on XP Office 2003 I can get the VBA help via Help->Essbase Help. However I'm on Vista Office 2007 and when I goto the Add Ins->Essbase Help, I get an error that states:
Why can't I get Help from this program?
The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which was used in previous versions of Windows and it is not supported in Windows Vista.
For more information, see Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is no longer included with Windows on the Microsoft support website.
So I need another way to access these help files.. Is there another way to do this??????
Thanks,
Sam

loading data from the VB api uses the import function. Look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_api/topapilist.htm for the system 9 version of the documentation. The document gives you samples for different functions you will need. from initialization, login, import, logout and termination

Speicherort für Lightroom 3 Mac offline help files?

Hallo,
ich habe hier CS6 Design Standard, Lightroom 3 und Adobe Help 4.0 (Air) installiert; CS6 ist erst vor einigen Wochen dazu gekommen (davor CS3).
Die LR3 Offline Hilfe (HTML) wurde von Adobe Help automatisch geladen und unter /Users/Shared/Documents/Adobe/Help/de_DE/Lightroom/3.0/Using automatisch abgelegt. Die Offline Hilfe wird aus dem Hilfe-Menü von LR3 heraus aber nicht gefunden. Ich meine, das hätte vor der Installation von CS6 funktioniert.
Kann es sein, dass der oben angegebene Speicherort der aktuellen Version von Adobe Help für LR3 nicht korrekt ist? Kann mir jemand sagen, wo die Offline Files abgelegt sein müssen, damit LR3 sie findet?
Danke!

Habe ein wenig in meinen TimeMachine Verzeichnissen gestöbert und den korrekten Speicherort gefunden:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Help/de_DE/Lightroom/3.0/Using
Jetzt findet LR3 seine Offline-Hilfe wieder

The correct location is:

XMII 12 help file location and virtual connections

Hi.
I have just installed xMII version 12 It took me 20 days the first time, but now it is easy.
Two questions. When trying to activate help, it opens a link like...
http://wbhelp.sap.com/manufacturing/xmii_120/da/44/2AF20B1DDE23D3E10000000A1553F7/content.htm
How to fix this ??
Is it possible to make virtual connections to xMII version 11.5 ??
BR.
Poul Klemmensen.

Hi Poul.
What language of the help are you trying to access? I see "/da/" in the middle of your help URL, but if you're trying to access the German version of the help, it should be "/de/".
For now, you can manually replace the "da" with "de" for German or "en" for English, and you should be able to see the help topic without error.
Regards,
Audrey

Need iPhoto '11 help (file location and duplicates)

I recently upgraded to Lion and am having problems in iPhoto that I've never had before.
1: Where is the actual photo file? The photos successfully load into iPhoto but they do NOT appear in my hard drive in my "Pictures" file. When I try to attach them to an email, a "Media" section opens and I can attach from iPhoto that way but I'm not seeing the actual photo file. I don't want to delete photos from my camera without being positive that the file is on my computer.
2: Duplicates! Holy duplicates! The first time I did an upload in iPhoto it uploaded everything in triplet. The second time I did an upload, it attempted to upload in double but I selected only one of each. How do I get it to not do this at all? Why would I want duplicate photos in the first place?

1. How the files are stored has nothing to do with the OS you're on. Obviously, the last version of iPhoto you had was v6 or earlier.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning:
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Lightroom catalog backup find missing file location- please help!

Hi,
Before I start, if anyone can answer this question I would be so grateful. I would cry!
Ok, so let me start.
Recently I cleared my whole entire mac and backed up everything on a hard drive. when I reinstalled lightroom on my clean mac, I also imported the catalog that I backed up. It all worked fine, and this post isn't about a lost catalog, or accidentally deleted photos.
So, what is hapenning is. When I imported my catalog I got an error message, for all the photos and folders. this:
So I found re-finding the folder, or finding the "missing file location" (which is so annoying because I wished Lightroom just backed up the pictures along with the catalog). But when I found the folder, only some photos showed up and some still displayed the exclamation mark.
Now I do have all the photos with the exclamation marks in folders on my backup hard drive, BUT they are all unedited raw versions. I honestly cannot go back and edit 2000 photos, especially after me having to clean all of the photos when my camera had over 30 spots of sensor dust on the photos. So those backup photos are what lightroom backed up, but I want to know how I can recover the photos in the lightroom catalog with the edits APPLIED.
May I PLEASEE get help on this. I am SO STUCK and do not want to mess up ANYTHING at all!
I would appreciate so much for ANY help! PLEASE!
Kind regards,
Josh
