CS4 Help -- just online now?

I bought Adobe Web CS4 recently. Previously, I used Studio 8. I miss the Help database that was IN the program itself. Now, when I click Help, it takes me to the web and I mostly find tutorials. I liked the help within the program so much better. It was simpler to follow, I could search by Index or Search or whatever. It seems like laziness on Adobe's part. Anyone know if they will be coming back out with this or maybe I'm missing something and it is still there?
Thanks much!

You still have the option of downloading the .pdf version of the Help File from the Community site.
From here (http://www.adobe.com/support/fireworks/?trackingid=DYNQA) click the Fireworks Help graphic.
This will take you to the online Help. Then to the top/upper left there is a link to a downloadable .pdf version which you can store locally and reference offline.

InDesign CS4 Help is now live

Even though InDesign CS4 hasn't shipped yet, weve just posted InDesign CS4 Help on the Web:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/index.html
We still have some work to do and bugs to fix, but we figured that youd get a lot of benefit from taking an early peek. Here's the topic describing the new CS4 features
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSFE4C4DDD-967A-4cf0-845F-AB2B86FCC809a.html
Note that many links to video tutorials, other Help documents, and white papers are still not functional, and the search doesnt really work yet. And commenting isnt turned on yet. This should all be fixed when we ship.
You may also want to take a sneak peak at the new community custom search engine, which is still under construction:
http://community.adobe.com/help/?lbl=indesign_product_adobelr
Feel free to contact me if you have suggestions for improving Help. Also, if you find any sites that should be included in the custom search engine, let me know: [email protected]

That's sweet! It's been frustrating hitting the dead link instead of actual help.
Right off the top of my head, the one thing I immediately notice would be that friendlier URLs would be nice. Any plans for them in the future?
For example, the link to Searching Using GREP Expressions right now is:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WS1952D538-1335-4b1d-BA5E-FA5A176FDC9Fa.html
Would be nice if it was more like:

I have a brand new ipod touch 32gb ipod touch. Upgraded to ios 7. open music app but there is no radio tab to select!!! All online help just says, "just select it". Can you help?

I have a brand new ipod touch 32gb ipod touch. Upgraded to ios 7. open music app but there is no radio tab to select!!! All online help just says, "just select it".
I have looked at the "More" part but again radio is not an option.
Can you help?

Just wait a bit. Turn it off, then back on.
I don't know why, but after the update it doesn't show up right away.
When it finally does, you will find a red icon on the bottom of the screen, on the left side.

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

Help, just got a new hard drive installed and now my videos say, "a necessary data reference could not be found"

Help, just got a new hard drive installed and now my videos in iPhoto say, "a necessary data reference could not be found"

Not sure what happened but I was able to click on the movie, go to File then Reveal in Finder, then drag it to my desktop and then drag it back into iPhoto and it worked.

Bought InDesign CS4 for Mac and now need to move it to a PC. Help!

Bought InDesign CS4 for Mac and now need to move it to a PC. Help!

Most Adobe software is written for one of two platforms, Mac or PC. In order to switch platforms you need to be using the most current version, so CS4 would not be supported for making this switch. Here is a link to a page that explains the requirements for switching platforms....

Any idea why a "Special Savings" bar with similar items for sale, keeps popping up on my screen anytime I'm shopping online now? Seems like this started after a firefox update and it's super annoying. Please help!

Anytime I'm shopping for something online now, a bar pops up over the product image with suggestions for buying the same product or similar products online from other websites. It's got "Special Savings" in the bar as the title and says it's powered by "superfish" when you open it. I've not signed up for anything like this and it seems to have started when I updated firefox the last time. I can "x" out of it, but it's a pain and I'd like to get rid of it. Anyone else know what this is and how to get rid of it?

You might have an add-on doing this. Try to see if you have any add-ons doing this. To see if an add-on is affecting it please start firefox in [[Safe Mode]]

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Help Is Public

You've heard the Adobe CS4 product announcements. Care to take a closer look at the new features in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4? Adobe has posted the Help contents on the web where you can search it and write comments on it.
See Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Help here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/
Or, go straight to the list of new features, here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS0DB30036-D26C-4c21-A01B-6207B21C3A2Ba.html

This is all kind of like sneaking into Santa's bag to see if the new toys he's gonna bring us are durable enough to play with until NEXT Christmas, when it's only a couple of weeks away from THIS Christmas.
(By the way, if you don't celebrate Christmas, you're really missing out...not just on the holiday itself, but you're also missing out on my metaphor).
I'm just about positive that everything's not going to work as well as we want, that it's not going to do quite enough of the stuff we need it to do, and that there will be bugs. The people who scream the loudest about current missing features or feature requests will probably be continuing the trend in the near future. Adobe reps will be very interactive on the forums for a few weeks or months while we all troubleshoot in our working environments and then they will disappear until it gets close to the next release.
BONUS ROUND - Mobutu (or jujufactory...right?) will still not upgrade, and will still demand support in a software he doesn't use for hardware that he doesn't use while likewise judging everything invented prior to the last 5 weeks to be "OBSOLETE!!"
Have I pretty much summed it all up?
At any rate, I would expect Dynamic Link in Encore to work the same way as Dynamic Link in PPro. In PPro, you can import multiple AE compositions through Dynamic Link. In Encore, you can import multiple AE comps as well. So...pretty likely that Encore will handle PPro sequences likewise. AE comps currently work fine with the Automatic transcode settings, so I'm guessing that carries over to PPro.
One of the After Effects documentation guys just provided a summary (per forum user request) of EVERYTHING that was modified/added/removed in CS4, in spite of the various ways of gleaning the information from the online docs. So...maybe if we keep hollering, we'll get the same thing here....?
C'mon Adobe...it's not like you're busy working on CS4 anymore. After all, the release of CS5 is only ONE YEAR AWAY!!! GO GO GO!!!
Final thoughts...I like how the press releases always refer to each release now as the "biggest product launch in Adobe's history." Isn't that to be expected? Shouldn't we expect each version to be "bigger" than the last? I mean, what else are they gonna say? "Well, you know...CS4, it's pretty good, VERY good actually. But the last version was a lot more meaningful. A lot more exciting. That last one was AWESOME. Well...we'll still try to make something out of this."

Photoshop CS4 - Help NOT working

If I select Photoshop Help, from the Help pull down menu in Photoshop CS4 I just get the error "HTTP 404 Not Found". Is there a solution to this, I didn't have this problem with CS3?

I definitely say that this is not fixed nor resolved. Two computers running Vista (one is Business 32, the other is Ultimate 64) both have this issue.
Dreamweaver CS4 - not working

What I'm most curious about is the JavaScript code in the "white page" with the AH_ION=true pages, especially the comment on line 2 here that seems to indicate that I should have some setting in my preferences that should tell the browser to go to the correct help page or not. If that's true, where do I set that and WHY should I need to?
if (document.location.href.indexOf("AH_ION=true") > 0) {
// check the user help preference cookie "ah_userpref"
// if its set to "wh_page", redirect to the help system
if (document.cookie.indexOf("ah_userpref=wh_page") > 0 ){
redirectUrl = "index.html";
// otherwise ,redirect to the community help and support page
}else{
var loc = getLangName();
redirectUrl = "http://www.adobe.com/go/lr_Dreamweaver_community_en";
if (loc == "en_US") {

Dreamweaver CS4 Help is LIVE!!

HI gang,
We have posted DW CS4 help in its complete and almost
impeccable form:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/
Well, yes, it is actually far from impeccable. If you see a
problem, do let me know.
The new features, with links to their topics, are listed
here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS2C41F19D-502B-4fb5-8A54-4442E2127C84a .html
So all of you style hounds who wanted to know how Adobe
refers to things in the product can now go have a look inside the
horse’s mouth.
It would be helpful to us if those of you who blog about DW
could write something about the CS4 help being released, AND
provide a link to the What’s New features, or to any other
help page in the new help system. This will speed the indexing
process for the google search engine crawler, which is the basis of
our new Community Help search mechanism. (Feel free to link to the
main index page too, but since it doesn’t have any other
links directly on it, it’s not so great for the google
crawler.)
Have fun!
Jon

I am able to get f4 help in online interactive form using value help dropdown, first time if i click the dropdown button it is showing the popup, if i click second time it is not showing the popup.

Hi,
1. I you are woking from the Web Dynpro for ABAP then after binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library goto WebDynpro Native Tab and drag and drop the Value Help and for this automatically JavaScript is being generated, go that script and edit the line
Var fieldname = "yourfieldname";
Note: dont forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
And now go to Utilities and click on u201CInsert Web Dynpro Scriptu201D.
Also make sure that you specify the Layout as ZCI Layout in the Propertioes of the Adobe Form.
2. Only the Submit button , the Enumerated Drop-Down List as well as the Value help button from the Web Dynpro Native library of Adobe LiveCycle Designer are supported. Check SAP Note: 1098009

Property inspector cut off [was: CS4 help]

Hello all,
I just got a new computer with windows vista 64 bit. With this new computer, I got a new CS4 package. In dreamweaver, the properties pannel on the bottom of the screen cuts off and does not show all the stuff that it used to. For example, I can see the word Target, but there is not dropdown box for me to select which target I want to select. Is there a way to fix this so everything is viewable?
Thanks

You're welcome. You might want to mark this thread as answered for the benefit of others with the same question. And in the future, please try to use a more descriptive subject line for their benefit as well. I'm going to edit your post accordingly....
Hmm - well, I can't. Too bad. Who would search for a Property inspector answer with CS4/help in their search phrase?
