All help menus no longer work after installing Mavericks

After installing Mavericks on my iMac all help menus no longer work. You still get the drop down box which contains the search window and other choices, but if you try clicking on them the screen just flashes or you might get a box that says " safari help is not available". It does this system wide, doesn't matter what application your in. My internet works fine but for some reason in Mavericks the help menus are not accessing this information. Anyone else have this problem? Or an answer?
Thank you!

Finally, a quick restart of the mac and all help menus are working again.

  • My ImageClass MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. How can I resolve this?

    My Image Class MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. I have checked with Cannon and they do not list my partricular machine among their driver updates. Is there another place to download a driver suitable for Mavericks?

    Your MF4380dn is supported by the latest UFR2 v10.4.0 driver that supports 10.9. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site,
    http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
    Before installing this driver, please remove the MF4380 from Printers & Scanners (unless you have already performed the reset that Carolyn mentions which will remove it for you). Then run the v10.4.0 installer and when it has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the MF4380.

  • Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

    Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
    Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

    Hi Jeff,
    Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
    Hope it goes well,
    Rick

    Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
    Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
    This page might help you out...

    Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.
    Let me know how you get on?
    Thanks.

    drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?

    Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

  • My telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    my telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    This is a problem between Telus and Yosemite.  Telus, of course, blames Apple. 
    Check the box that says "Allow insecure authentication"  That will get your email working.
    However, this box will get un-checked when you stop start Mac Mail.  The next time you start Mail, you'll have to re-check it for each Telus account.  (This is the bit that Apple needs to fix.) 

  • Some USB ports no longer working after installing Mountain Lion?

    Some of my USB ports are no longer working after installing Mountain Lion onto my 21' 2011 iMac. I used to plug in my iphone 4S and charge it, or transfer files onto my iPad but none of the ports no longer work to do this. Funnily enough, other equipment plugged into the works. I have tried changing the cable. Any ideas?

    In my experience, the USB ports on the back of an Apple monitor can be re-enabled simply by unplugging and plugging back in the device in question. You might also check to see that the USB Monitor hub shows up in System Profiler. My Apple monitor USB ports experienced no changes in moving to 10.4.7.

  • Mail not working after installing Mavericks

    Mail stoped working after installing Mavericks!

    Check this out. It worked for me and is related to a problem in Accounts.plist...
    The problem was caused by dodgy entries in the accounts.plist file in my User Library folder. It appears that either when I upgraded to Mavericks this file gained hundreds (possibly thousands) of spurious entries, or maybe these entries were in there before but previously the OSX/Mail combination was more tolerant. When I removed these the problem with Mail disappeared. Here’s what I did….
    1> Make the user Library folder visible - in Mavericks this is a lot easier than Lion/Mountain Lion. Simply open up your user directory in Finder, select menu View>Show View Options, and select “Show Library Folder”
    2> Navigate through username>Library>Mail>V2>MailData and select the Accounts.plist file. If this file is multiple megabytes (mine was 40+mb) then this is likely the cause of your problem (once sorted mine ended up at 19k in size!)
    3> To be safe, make a copy of this file (I placed the copy on my desktop).
    4> Using your chosen text editor (I used Text Wrangler but I’m sure TextEdit would work just fine) open the Accounts.plist in the MailData folder (not your backup copy) and take a look. If it’s the same as me you will find hundreds and hundreds of entries for the same mailbox repeated in there. Mine was an old MSN mailbox that I never use any more (I’ve seen in other forums that other Hotmail type accounts also seem to be the culprits in this context). There will likely be two lots of repeated data, one in the XML “DeliveryAccounts” <array> section, and one lot in the “MailAccounts” <array> section.
    5> Delete (keeping in mind the need to select the XML sections correctly from <dict> to </dict> completely) all those extra entries that you found, keeping the mail accounts you do need, in the XML and save the file.
    6> Mail should open up nice and fast again and not eat your system
    7> If this did not work, and causes problems because of over eager deleting in <5> you can replace your broken Accounts.plist file with your backup and try again.
