CS6 Help system problems

I have just downloaded and installed CS6 Master Collection and I have noticed that the help system in virtually all of the component programs does not operate either online or offline. Program by Program here are the results I received when attempting to launch "Help":
Adobe After Effects - no response at all
Adobe Audition - "Unable to display help for this topic - Error (10)"
Adobe Bridge - no response at all
Adobe Dreamweaver - "The help system cannot be launched because the help folder is missing. Reinstall Dreamweaver"
Adobe Encore - no response at all
Adobe Extension Manager - no response at all
Adobe Fireworks - no response at all
Adobe Flash Builder - Help Contents works however Flash Builder Help produces no response
Adobe Flash - no response at all
Adobe Illustrator - To access online help of to download help contents you need to be connected to the internet!
Adobe InDesign - Adobe Help Viewer is not installed and you are not connected to the internet. Re-Install!
Adobe Media Encoder - Adobe Help Client failed to launch
Adobe Photoshop - help could not be displayed because you are not connected to the internet
Adobe Prelude - no response at all
Adobe Premier Pro - no response at all
Adobe Speedgrade - No Help option is apparent
Needless to say - for all those warnings about not being connected to the internet - that I was connected!
Notes: I was running Comodo internet security so I uninstalled Comodo and CS6 and reinstalled the latter suite again without any security software in place whatsoever ... I got the same results as above both times.
I note several other posts on the internet about this same issue - all without resolution so far. Forgive me for being blunt but I would have thought that getting a help system in place and operating properly was critical for most users who will be unfamiliar with a new layout and interface or does Adobe just expect we are all going to rush out to purchase expensive instruction manuals?

Er ... surely there is a more appropriate answer than "the help client sucks" or doesn't anybody care that Adobe seem to be selling defective software at very high prices?
WRT PDF's - I would love to download these if only I could find out where to download them. Does anybody have a URL where these beasts may be found?

  • The Help system cannot be launched....

    I purchased a copy of DW CS6 a few days ago, and installed it yesterday. It seems to be working ok, but I cannot use the help system. I did a search on google and found this:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/error-help-system-cannot-launched.html
    I followed the steps as best I could, but it hasn't fixed the problem.
    am I overlooking something?

    I've received that error before, and although the error message is completely wrong, the cause was that I was not connected to the Internet.
    When you press F1 (or go to Help > Dreamweaver Help), Dreamweaver tries to connect to the product documentation online; if it can connect to it, it opens your browser to the main topics page. If it can't connect, then it tries to open the local PDF file of the documentation instead.
    I got this error because I did not yet have the local PDF file, which may be the cause for you as well.
    This forum thread, along with its associated KB article, explain how to correct this:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1007704
    Essentially, connect to the Internet, use the Help Manager (look for the shortcut in the Start Menu called "Adobe Help") to download the PDF, then you can disconnect from the Internet again.

  • CS6 64bit sound problem

    Hi,
    I have Window 7 64bit system.
    Since I purchased the CS6, as soon as I installed it, the audio of my system is not playing any sound smoothly.
    First Youtube plays with some missing audio parts. Then I updated the flash player. NO luck.
    then I was recordign with Audition and the same problem was noticed when I played the sound.
    I re-imaged my system with clean window 7. The audio is prefect and no issue. Then I installed the CS6 and got problem. So I know the source of problem is CS6.
    can anyone help.
    thanks

    Ask in the AU forum. Perhaps it messes with the audio settings or installs some VST stuff that interferes...

    I assumed this would help my problem with not being able to open apps like Preview or TextEdit since I installed Mountain Lion. Instead, first I'm prompted to enter a password, then once I do that, I get an error box telling me the Library needs repairing. So I click on Repair, and once again I'm prompted for a password, which I enter, then the same error box opens, and so it goes. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Why does reindex documents at Server in the Configuration Manager break the help system?

    Background:
    So, I have a nice hosted help system on Server 9. I'm using the Access database since it's a light load project. It works OK. All admin features work OK (except groups and users bug, unrelated), including reports on search and usage. So, I have been having a devil of a time making a particular search term work in my project: UTS. It's an acronym for a system at my work, and it's important that users be able to search on it. UTS is in several Heading 1s. It's not in the stop list as a typo. Just to be sure, I deleted the whole stop list. I added "UTS" as a topic keyword. It still refuses to find any results. Also, I've noticed some other peculiarities with search: the "context" displayed below the search result is supposed to show the word you searched for in its context, but it never does in my search results. It just shows the first words of the document it's listed as a hit in search. The search is not bad, but these two bugs were odd enough to me to start rooting around for solutions.
    So, I run Server 9 on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Tomcat 7 and JDK 7u17.
    The problem:
    I noticed in all the Server documentation that Adobe crows about the wonderful full text search powered by Lucene, and how it's checked "on" by default in all contexts. It's not in mine. When I check "reindex documents at server," it breaks the project. Literally--Server can't find the project anymore, web calls come back with no answer. Uncheck the box, A-OK. So, why is this wonderful search technology not available to me? Is it because it's not available when using default Access? Or is something else going on here?
    many thanks in advance.

    The problem is that my data collection software (VisualPlant by EMT) is unable to browse to the National Instruments.LookoutOPCServer. When I added an Identification category to the registry entry for the lookout OPC server I was able to connect but with some odd behavior. My setup is:
    2 machines each running Win NT4 SP6a. One machine is running Lookout as well as several other OPC servers. The other is running my data collection software. I am able to connect to lookout using several client apps on my data collection machine (Kepware's Quick Client, and Matrikon's Client), however my data collection software (VisualPlant) cannot see Lookout. Using the NI server explorer and viewing the properties of all of my OPC servers I noticed that Lookout was the on
    ly one listed that did not have a CatID. By modifying the registry and adding the ID's listed in my original note I was able to connect using VisualPlant, however this exibited some odd behavior. It appears that adding this setting prevents multiple OPC connections to Lookout. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature:   Problem Event Name:APPCRASH   Application Name:lightroom.exe   Application Version:3.4.1.10

    I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature:   Problem Event Name:APPCRASH   Application Name:lightroom.exe   Application Version:3.4.1.10

    First thing to try is the latest version of Lightroom (currently 5.6). If it don't crash, then problem solved - upgrade.
    If Lr5 won't run on your machine, then Lr4 instead.
    If both Lr5 and Lr4 crash on your machine, then at least you know it's a not a Lightroom version problem but something wonked in your system.
    If you can't figure out how to resolve the crash on the system you have, then it's time for a new system (or try another converter/editor app).
    PS - A few things to try:
    * After re-installing new version, if that doesn't fix it, then get rid of all Lightroom-related data files (rename them so they can be restored), in case problem is in Lr data file.
    * Remove all non-essential hardware in case problem is hardware/driver.
    * Startup up machine with minimal software services.
    * If still no go, consider updating driver software, including mainboard drivers and/or bios firmware if need be.
    * Of course run all the system hardware and software diagnostics you can - problem could be failing disk or ram..
    * Check system event logs for any clues.
    If you don't know how to do some of these things - ask.
    Do not say "you've tried everything" unless you want a lecture - there is most definitely something you haven't tried. It's like when you can't find your car keys - you haven't looked everywhere -  there is somewhere you haven't looked!
    PS - Has Lightroom EVER worked on your machine? what's changed since then..
    Good luck,
    Rob

  • Google browser and others show all web page on netbook but firefox wont i have to scrool why can i change settings on firefos to help this problem

    all other web browsers when i use on my net book show full web page but with Firefox i have to scroll side ways cant see full width of page sometimes Firefox will show full page but this is not often are the settings in Firefox to help this problem i have the latest version of Firefox 4.0.1

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Winhelp Help system and Java

    Hello,
    Of the several products we develop, one, a Java program, uses the Java Help help system (logically). The others use a standard Winhelp help system (developed in Robohelp). Our current workflow for developing a help system for the Java program is to batch convert the Winhelp RTF files into HTML files. The problem is, most of our Winhelp formatting is either dropped or incorrectly represented in the Java help file. Also, I prefer the look and feel of a Winhelp system over Java.
    Is it possible for a Java program to be modified so that it supports a Winhelp help system and not a Java Help system? If so, how is this done, and where can one find information on the process?
    If not, what options do we have to "pretty up" the Java output from the conversion?
    Thanks!
    Todd

    Thanks for your response. Could you direct me to a resource that explains the steps for accomplishing this? I'll need to provide the development staff with instructions.
    Thanks again!

  • Serious System Problems. Pictures and Documents folders are opening iPhoto when clicked. iPhoto Library gone.

    I have been speaking to Old Toad for the majority of today trying to fix my iPhoto Library as its become corrupt and I cannot get my photos/videos back into iPhoto. After many many suggestions I seem to have created some serious system problems.
    PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS THREAD...
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21742033#21742033
    If anybody can be of assisatance that would be a great help.
    I am a mac dummie, recently transfered so foolproof guidance will be helpfull!
    (Unfortunatly.. and now I know the importance, I haven't used time-machine and my mac isn't backed up. If i restore to factory settings I will loose the 600+ photos and videos I had in my iPhoto Library.... which dissapeared, which is the whole reason why I created the first thread)
    Thank you!!

    Linc:
    It appeared to me that somehow the OP's Picture folder was converted into an iPhoto Library as his screenshot of the PIctures folder looked like the inside of a library.
    This statement by the OP make me think it might be more than just an iPhoto issue (the bold text):
    I am unable to drag the Picture folder to the desktop, It wont move, and iPhoto (which is still empty) just opens.
    Some how the same is happening with Documents,

  • System problems (all new hardware)

    well as the subject says i have system problems, let me explain in details.
    this happened yesterday, when i use the computer (moving the mouse arround) the computer is fine and works as it should CPU, GPU and so on is fine and normal in usage and temp but as soon as i let go of the mouse and wait arround 2 min, all my 8 cores (i7 3.5Ghz) goes 100% and GPU goes 100% with 70C ++ temp and the fans starts running crazy.... but as soon as i start moving my mouse arround again everything goes back to normal :S
    and this affects movies i watch and games, making it lagg like crazy :S
    i have NEVER EVER EVER in my life encounter such a strange error / fault whatever it is :S i have tryed unplugging my mouse, still encounter the problem, tryed installing GPU driver again (fresh install), tryed rolling back GPU driver, but that didnt work.... as i figured out that my entire system was overloading when i wasnt "using" the computer (moving the mouse arround) :S
    and just to be clear, all hardware is BRAND NEW!!!! motherboard, cpu, memory, watercooling system (CPU)..... and they worked fine uptill yesterday :S (strangly enough right after i installed Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012) :S but i dont think that has ANYTHING to do with this "error"...
    i could also mention that when i have "Task Manager" up this error doesnt happen (with the 100% on all 8 cores and GPU getting 70C and so on)....
    REALY need some help here!!!?

  • Adobe Premier Pro CS6 editing system and mov files

    We have just installed a new Adobe Premier Pro CS6 editing system with a HP 820Z (running windows 7) 18 core multi drive system.  Our production company has used many mov. files from Ponds.  We were a FCP 7.0 studio (still have the system) but the mov files won't import to our new CS6 System...  Not trying to import from the mac...have them stored on another PC.  We depend on this stock footage for production. Do I need to download a converter?  I just had to produce two spots with a still background because I could not get any of our stock mov files to work...
    Thanks much for any help!

    PP does support direct import of Quicktime files that can be played back on the system.
    What is the correct error message after import?
    Can you playback the files with the Quicktime Player?
    For some codecs like DNXHD you have to install the quicktime codec first...

    Anyone got a link to the Premiere CS6 downloadable Help file ( pdf)  yet?

    thank you kevin. much appreciated.
    @ jeff - f1 might work for you, but it certainly doesn't work for me. i get taken to a webpage (on line) that tells me what's new in cs6 and how to work in 5.5!

    none of which are of any real use as serious help - and especially not as they're on line, which my edit pc rarely is!
    These are "Topic Pages" for Help. You can think of these pages as the Table of Contents.
    What's new and links to past versions of Help is part of Help. I'm sorry that confused you.
    Scroll down a bit to see all the topics. Click a link, you get taken to that specific topic.
    BTW, when I click F1 for Help in After Effects, I get the proper link, not the one you just linked to.
    If you don't think this is "serious" Help, I'm sorry you feel that way. I write the Help, so feel free to air out any criticisms to me, and I'll try my best to address them.
    I apologize for not having the PDF ready on ship day. This was a decision I had no control over. Despite my heavy lobbying (on behalf of users like yourself) the new Help system had more pressing technical challenges for our production team.
    The good news is the PDF looks good with the bonus of having navigation on every page in the form of bookmarks. It can be updated as often as I like too.
    Just a bit more patience is required, as we have almost completed testing it.

  • Help system error message

    Using Mac Indesign 3.0 (first version of Creative Suite), the Help system has stopped working. All I get is: "There is a problem with the Help system. Please rerun the installer." Re-installing does no good. Need help!
    No recent changes on the computer, and Photoshop's Help system still works. Using an Intel iMac with OS X 10.5.6, 2 gigs ram, ample harddrive space.

    Sure someone can. Usually guy, who would know how to turn off your computer or network firewalls. If you do know how to do that yourself, do and see if that helps.
