Aperture help not working - getting JavaScript error message

My Aperture 3 has been having a lot of strange issues lately, most, but not all of which have been cleared up by holding down command + option while starting up and going through all three of the choices there.
One problem that remains is the inability to open the Help files. I keep getting the following message:
“The Help Library requires JavaScript.
If JavaScript is not enabled, you will not
be able to view all the content.”
Help works in all other applications, like Pages and Final Cut Pro. I don’t get JavaScript error messages in any other applications.
I’ve already done an erase and restore from a Time Machine backup, and an archive and install. I reinstalled Aperture, although not by using the Terminal command suggested in the kbase article # HT3805.
If I go the Terminal command route, will I lose all my projects, albums, and editing? What about Mobile Me galleries?
I have a guest user on the computer, and when I log on to that user and open Aperture, the Help Library works fine. So, I know the problem is in my user account somewhere, but I don’t know how to address it. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
The fact that you have access to java in another user suggests that it is a local setting or preference.
In the applications folder/utilities there is an application Java Preferences, try resetting this and seeing if it works.
If not, try deleting the java preferences file in your users folder
systemHD/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.JavaPreferences.plist
relaunch the app Java Preferences which creates a new preferences file for you, then try Aperture again.
Let us know how this goes.

  • I cannot get i-tunes anymore. I tried the i-download. Still no help. I get an error message that reads  The file "itunes Library itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. What can I do?   tunes down load

    I cannot get i-tunes. I tried the download, but no help. I get an error message The file "iTunes library itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Any suggestions?

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
    Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

  • Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here...

    Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here... I have an iphone 4S and I did the last update. Now I am in trouble.
    1. When I move the "sound on/off" button, I get it buzzing 10 times before the setting is changed and I can do anything else, just not reacting to the round button on screen touches.
    2. Impossible to copy text from most websites into notes.
    3. Impossible to delete an email account in settings.
    4. Uses up the battery twice as fast as before. I have "update apps" setting turned off, just reading a couple of mails, making a couple of photos and open maps apps twice a day, and the battery is dead well before the evening.
    5. Got extremely slow, and it was getting slower and slower with every system update.
    I'm sure I forgot something... But well, that already a lot.

    Well, actually number 3 in my list is not true any more, I just tried to delete my account 15 times, then I've written my post, then half an hour later my Settings finally updated my accounts list. Whohoo
    I did not try restoring it yet, thank you for the link!

  • HELP I keep getting an error message on my IPHONE 4 that says Unable to connect to Cellular Data. How do I fix this?

    HELP I keep getting an error message on my IPHONE 4 that says Unable to connect to Cellular Data and I have tried to reset network settings and factory reset but nothing helping so far. Took it to Verizon and they couldn't fix it either, said it's a problem with the phone itself and to contact Apple. My warranty is expired so Apple isn't much help either. How do I fix this? I have a data package so confused and I have had my phone for over a year but never had this issue before.

    I am getting this message also.... mine cant update too...

  • Photoshop CS5 "Help" function not working - Adobe Air error message?

    Installed Photoshop CS5, and thought everything was working okay, but when I click on Photoshop Help, I get the error message "Adobe Air - This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing......" I have re-installed first Adobe Air, same problem and then uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5, but the problem remains. When I first tried to use the Help function it tried to update something and for some reason this failed. I'm wondering if others have seen the same problem and know of a solution? Thanks, David.

    Hello:  there may be a configuration issue going on here.  I have escalated this issue to our Help app engineering team. In the meanwhile, please try the following:
    Uninstall the Adobe Help application: go to your Application folder > Adobe > Adobe Help (drag it to the Trash)
    Delete the following directory:
    USER NAME (home) > Library > Preferences > chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.
    Empty the Trash
    Manually update the application via this link: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/
    Select "Photoshop" in Step 1 and then click the Install badge in Step 2.  Make sure to select "Open" (and not Save) in the installation dialog box to fully update the app.
    Note: The previous instructions did not include deleting the old application or its preference file. This will help ensure that it is thoroughly updated.

  • ITunes will not start:  Get same error message ever time...

    I installed iTunes 6 and quicktime and now it will not start up at all. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling as many have. The only difference is I am actually getting an error message. I do not get an hour glass as many have. I have tried deleting the suggested file found at: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
    This did not work either. I keep getting the following error window, and never see iTunes even try to launch: PLEASE HELP!!!!
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienence. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on may be lost. For more information about this error click here"

    hi Josh!
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienence.
    the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch? if it doesn't, try these techniques:

  • Replaced hard drive on my iMac running OSX 10.9.3 now CS4 Master Collection Not working. Receiving error message 150:30 - help.

    I have had to replace the hard drive on my iMac running OSX 10.9.3 and reloaded my CS4 Master Collection from Time Machine. I am receiving error message 150:30 saying License has stopped working what should I do?

    Unfortunately, you can't install Adobe applications by copying them from a backup, or using the Migration Assistant on a Mac. There are too many support files scattered throughout your drive which aren't moved to the correct location.
    First, you'll have to use Adobe's Cleaner Tool to remove all of the stuff you copied:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then reinstall CS4 Master Collection from your original discs, or a backup of the downloaded files. If you don't have either, you can download Creative Suite from this link:

  • Ipod not recognized, getting odd error message

    I've seen this posted a few times, but without any hints as to how to fix the problem.
    I have a 4G 20GB iPod, just over a year old (meaning, no warranty), that has worked fine until this morning. I turned it on, and all of a sudden, it kept skipping through all of my songs, and wouldn't respond to the pause, play, etc. buttons.
    I attached it to my computer via FireWire, and I keep getting this odd error message: "You have inserted a device that has no volumes that OSX can recognize" It asks me if I want to ignore, initialize, or eject the disc. I've been having it ignore it, or eject it (staying far away from initialization). After I ejected it, I noticed that all the songs on my iPod are now missing.
    I reset the iPod, which didn't do much, and now I can't restore it, because neither the computer or iTunes recognizes my iPod. It shows up in Disk Utility, but I'm not entirely sure how to proceed.
    What happened to my iPod? I can't seem to find anything in the Apple support pages that seems similar to my situation. Any suggestions on how to get the thing to work again?
    Edit: I am using iTunes version 4.9; I have not updated to 5.0

    This is the most frustrating tech trouble!
    The same thing has happened to my iPod. It worked fine, then one day I plug it in and it says "Disc inserted is unreadable by this computer". As far as I remember, I didnt' update anything, make any changes, or adjust any settings to any of my hardware. SO WHAT HAPPENED?? And now I can't restore or doctor the iPod hardware bc my computer won't recognize it as actual hardware...
    pleeeeease help, if anyone has a way to fix this.
    The weirdest part, is that when I look at the information of the "unreadable hardware" it describes it with all the information, like how many gigs are available, how much space is used up, latest updates etc. So it can transfer information, but it pretends its unreadable? i dont understand.

    This alert is often the result of iTunes being blocked by firewalls on the computer.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Try turning off your Firewall to see if the issue is resolved (this includes the built-in Firewall or a third-party Firewall such as Norton Personal Firewall, McAfee, Symantec, etc.). See iTunes for Windows: Music Sharing With Windows Internet Connection Firewall for steps if using Windows. See KB iTunes: Music Sharing does not work if Firewall is on for steps if using Mac OS X.
    If there's no firewall or security software interference, try to remove proxy settings.

  • Firefox will not open, getting an error message about max and min do not match....

    error message detail:
    XULRunner
    Platform version'1.9.2' is not compatible with
    min version>=1.9.2.10
    max version<=1.9.2.10
    this occurs after clicking the normal firefox open icon from my desktop

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
    Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Help Plz--I get an error message when I try and open iTunes

    My PC crashed and I had to reboot to factory start ups. Luckily, it kept all my files including my iTunes library. The problem is that everytime I try to open iTunes I get a message saying iTunes had encountered a problem and needs to close. I tried reinstalling the iTunes software but it still says the samething. Does anyone know how to help?

    I removed iTunes and downloaded the new version but I'm still getting the same message. Do you think it's a problem with quicktime? The only other thing I can see is that I had some Japanese music and the Kanji has been changed to little squares in my library. Could one of those be the problem?
