Preview Doesn't Load Preview Help

Greetings:
Since upgrading to 10.4.7, I'm unable to bring up Preview's "Help" feature. Other apps do show Help, and oddly enough, in other new user accounts, Preview's "Help" does pop up. Unsure whether this is indicative a subtler problem which is my greater concern now. I used Onyx to no avail. Any hints much appreciated!
Thanks!

Can you get it to launch by going to Help Viewer's
Library menu?
No, it doesn't even show up. I'm perplexed as to why Preview's help does pop up in any other user account but not my original.
Thanks for caring and the rapid response!

  • Cell background colors are not showing in preview - help? - DW4

    Hi,
    I created a horizontal table for my menu bar, and gave each cell a different color by creating a separate class for each with background image - image is a block of color created in Photoshop. In design mode they look they way I want, but in preview (Safari) the colors don't show up at all - the whole area is gray, and all I see is the text for each cell. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Alternatively, is there a better way I can set this up to have different colors for each button?
    Thank you!

    Here is the HTML code, and the CSS code for the menu bar follows: 
         ul.MenuBarHorizontal           
    ></style><style type="text/css"><!body {     background-color: #FFF;     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}-->
        h1.  
         ul.MenuBarVertical

  • Help file doesn't load

    Sometimes, the FCP X Help "manual" file doesn't load. I'm assuming this comes from Apple every time over the web. If it does, this is odd as other Apple pages are loading normally.
    I have to fall back on the pdf version I saved on my Mac but it's not very searchable.
    Just me?

    Hi JaredHess
    Are you certain it's looking for the .CHM? I'd be looking at
    Tools > Options... > General tab and ensuring the "Use
    Offline Help" hasn't been DE-selected, forcing RoboHelp to look at
    the internet for its help.
    Cheers... Rick

  • My iCloud doesn't load on all devices anymore. Can anyone help?

    I use to be able to log into iCloud and view my photos on my iPhone, iPad and PC but now. I can only see my photos on the device I took the photo from. If I take a pic with my iPhone then try to view it on my iPad it doesn't load anymore. I hate this. Things were so much easier when I just had to long into my iCloud. Help please.

        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • My iPod opens my apps, but doesn't load them or update them. Help!

    So basically, let's take Snapchat as an example. I have WiFi. It opens. But then says that I have no internet connection or whatever so it cant update. YouTube however, doesn't load at all. As for my other apps, they open but don't load. Also when I take a picture I see it in the lower left corner but if I tap it all I see is a picture I took a while ago. I'm not sure what to do, and am really scared..could someone help?
    Thank you in advance,

  • It just doesn't work and help is needed, hence why I'm on a Forum? Brownie points for whoever can help on this one...

    So. As always, it's about iTunes - as Apple is the most inconvenient corporation ever founded. Anyway! I've had this problem for about 6 months and haven't bothered to ask anyone. I've restored the computer numerous times and tried to fix the issue with help from other nonsensical forums. The problem is that 'apple mobile device service' is eating up a large amount of CPU, and therefore tends to make the computer run like a log. I have uninstalled it before but then iTunes won't recognize my iPod - funnily enough. As well as this, iTunes won't connect to the store? However, it doesn't say it's not, it just doesn't load. It states that it is 'accessing iTunes store', but it's not. I'm running all of this on a windows 7 Acer extensa 5235 - just in case that helps. It probably won't, but you guys are clever, right? I mean, I could probably ask you to peel an orange for me, and you'd do it without even physically touching it. Just with the power of your omnipotent minds. Anyway yeah, if anyone can help on this one, would be much appreciated.

    Wow what a rambling mess and complete waste of time.
    Did you try a search of the forums for similar issues?  Doing so would have revealed multiple similar issues with valid troubleshooting, saved you time, and saved those that have read that crap from being subject to your rambling psychosis.
    FYI, in the future, get to the point and cut the crap when asking for help.
    Oh, completely uninstall iTunes and reinstall the current version of iTunes.

  • Safari doesn't load, just crashes.

    Hi,
    Wondering if anyone can help me. Safari has started throwing errors up which means it doesn't load giving the below error message (it's not complete, can copy the rest if needed). Hadn't done any updates (I've just installed Mavericks in the hope that it would fix, but no luck).

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Safari/History.plist
    Click Go then move the History.plist file to the Trash.
    Now type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Opening a new page via "open in new tab" doesn't load new page anymore

    I have been using firefox for a long time now because I love it's option of opening in a new tab while staying on the tab I am currently using.
    Recently, over the last week or so, when I open a link using a new tab, the page doesn't load in the new tab. It's just thinks and thinks and finally shows that the page is open, but the page is actually blank.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Macbook doesn't load on startup-Annoying.

    When I turn on the macbook it stays on the grey screen and never loads. This has been happening more, even when I hold down option on start up it doesn't load sometimes. I have had problems with safari freezing and even force quit wouldn't work so I have had to manually shut down the computer. When I try to start it back up that is when it doesn't load. But the safari problem has gotten much better and doesn't freeze much anymore, but today on start up it stayed at grey screen. This is a annoying problem and please help! Thanks.

    I ran the disk utility and it said that the the volume Macintosh HD appears to be ok. What is the
    purpose of running off the install disk?
    Because earlier you said:
    Well I did the disk utility, and the permissions worked fine, but on disk it froze and I had to restart.
    and then:
    I tried running the mac os x install disk and it wouldn't even run on that...
    So, it looked like you couldn't run the disk verify. However, if you were able to verify the startup disk using Apple's Disk Utility you don't need to check it again with the Mac OS X Install DVD. However, don't confuse the permissions check with the "Verify Disk" test.
    I hope your problems don't reappear, but frankly computers crash for a _reason_ and if you haven't changed anything to fix the problem then it will mostly likely reoccur.
    Given what you've told me and assuming that you did run the "Verify Disk" test and not simply the verify permissions, I'd say that you _may_ have a problem either with your hardware or with your Mac OS X installation (not the DVD, I mean the OS image that is installed on the hard drive). To eliminate hardware as the problem you might want to rerun Apple's built-in hardware diagnostics and select the extended testing mode. The extended test can take a good amount of time so I'd start it when your are finished using the MacBook for the day and make certain that you're running on A/C power and not the battery.
    Next, Safari shouldn't be crashing. I run Safari for several hours each day and it is _very_ rare for me to have any serious problems with that program (let's say one crash every few months, if even that often). Of course, the frequency of problems may depend highly on what you are doing on the computer and that's why it is important to look for patterns in your work (i.e. nearly every time I do this on this website Safari crashes).
    By the way, when Safari crashes do you restart your MacBook? That would probably be a good idea if you are planning to continue to use your MacBook for a significant amount of time (after the crash). Also, do you ever need to do a forced shutdown of your MacBook? What I mean is does your MacBook/mouse/keyboard ever completely "freeze" so that you can't do anything until you hold down on the power button to force a system shutdown? If you _are_ having to do frequent forced shutdowns I'd suggest that on your next restart that you run the Disk Utility to check both your permissions and disk before you begin again to use the computer.
    In any case, good luck in the future.

Maybe you are looking for
