Drive Utility Help Viewer "does not know how to handle selected URL"

I have Drive Utility 10.5.6, according to . I'm trying to reformat a FAT32 partition on an external drive to Mac OS X Ext. Journaled in preparation for using SuperDuper to back up my Mac HD boot partition. For a time, which seems to have passed, now that erasing the partition has been done. The Disk Utility Help wouldn't work. Instead of putting up topic information, I got a message saying "Help Viewer does not know how to handle selected URL", followed by an reference to an html file that allegedly existed inside a set of folders inside the app. Where, of course, Finder cannot see. Once the erasing was done, Help seems to have come back. I tried Apple Support, but could only get a reference to OS 9 Appleworks macros not working in OS X. No help at all. Is this a question? I don't know. Help is working now. But for a while it was very annoying. It must be one of those little windows glitches that no one ever bothered to fix.

In order to change a FAT or NTFS formatted drive for use with OS X you will need to do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you have an Intel Mac and can partition the drive using GUID then you can have FAT32 and OS X partitions on the same drive.
As for problems with the Help viewer see:
In most cases doing the following will restore the Help Viewer:
1. Trash the following three files, if extant:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
2. Trash the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui folder.
3. Empty the Trash and Restart.

I move folders from my internal hard drive twice to an external hard drive. Now I believe Lr does not know how to find my photos. What can I do to get this cleared up.

I move folders from my internal hard drive twice to an external hard drive. Now I believe Lr does not know how to find my photos. What can I do to get this cleared up.

Jim has a very good suggestion. There are many factors at work here:
1) How are you connecting the external drive to the computer?
2) How big are files (329 x 1MB is not the same as 329 x 25MB)?
3) What is your computer specification?
4) Do you have any power saving settings on (in particular something that would send the computer/hard drives to sleep)?

Was the message sent from Microsoft Outlook? When you embed an image in a message in Outlook (at least up to version 2003), it creates a hidden attachment for the image and then inserts a "cid" reference to it. If the attachment gets stripped for any reason then the "cid" reference is useless: Outlook does not store the original URL or path to the image.
Edit: By the way, which webmail site has this problem?

Help viewer does not work after update to 10.4.4

Since updating to 10.4.4 my Help viewer does not work, and all of the troubleshooting fixes suggested in other threads have not had any success in resolving this. I've noted that when I go to Users>Library>Documentation>Help there is no mac.help file - can someone tell me if that means that I've lost the file altogether and need to reinstall it? I get to the first screen of the viewer, but the links from there don't work. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

My daughter made a $49.99 in-app purchase of 1400 gems for Home Design Story. She says she does not know how she purchased it. Is there anyway to remove that from my purchases?

Apple allows apps to list themselves as "Free" if the initial download is free, even if the app has kid-oriented inducements for costly in-app purchases. The in-app purchases are almost always ridiculous, over-priced game accessories, of which your example of "1400 gems for $49.99" is right up there. It is way too caveat emptor for my taste, but each consumer can form their own opinion on that.
To Apple's credit, they have a good record of granting refunds providing you explain the extenuating circumstances (purchase by a minor) and only ask once. Contact iTunes Customer Service.
As roaminggnome notes, you need to place restrictions on the devices. The restrictions are off by default, so you need to take action to do this. See this document: iOS: Understanding Restrictions

HP "Support" does not know how to perform "regionalization reset", now what?

I buy a dual voltage OfficeJet 4620 in Germany in Ferbruary 2013.
NOWHERE in the product literature does it mention the ink cartridges are regionalized (defeats the purpose of even manufacturing a 110-220v device! But I digress).
I move to Florida in June and yesterday my black ink begins to run out.
The printer needs the "regionalization reset" which can only be performed by HP support, as stated by their own webpage:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02558798
Another description of it here:
http://www.fixya.com/support/t156381-change_region_code_ink_cartridges
I call HP support, and waste over an hour and a half with a girl in the Phillipines until she finally tells me that I need a complete set of USA ink cartridges in order to perfom the procedure (which appears to be not true, you do not need them to reset the printer, but rather it appears you need them simply if you wish to print anything after the reset was performed if for no other reason but to verify that the reset was successful). She claims HP support will call me this morning at 11AM EST. They did not call.
I call HP "Support" at 1130 EST and go through the wickets with them again. This time the girl does not know what to do and is clearly completely unknowledgeable about the product, mush less how to troubleshoot it, and instead she is simply following a script. Another hour wasted. After being put on hold for the 4th or 5th time for 15 minutes, I simply hang up. (Realizing later that this is an intentional strategy.)
I call again. Now I am speaking to some guy in India. He does not know what he is doing either and tries to guide me through the support menu on the printer itself, but his script does not match the menu options on the printer. Back to the 15 minute intervals of hold broken up by him saying "one minute please sir while I verify some information". Another hour wasted, until I finally begin to realize that none of these people know what to do.
Still I call back and get another guy who leads me into the Support menu (press the return button 4 times to access this menu) . The he has me go to the Reports Menu and select the "print mech button tap" option, which prints out a 2 page "Printer Hardware" printout. He asks me to "give him the numbers on the document, but the document has all sorts of numbers on it from serial numbers to product numbers to other numbers with labels that are simply abbreviations. I ask him which numbers he needs from the two pages full of numbers, and back on hold I go for 20 minutes. He comes back and says "the long number, there should be a long number". Well the longest number on the document is the Serial number which I have already given during the initial information polling he did and so I ask him if he needs it again. Back on hold i go for another 20 minutes. Now the 15-20 minute hold cycle resumes, with him "checking something" and he will "be right back". Eventually he simply clicks over to see if I am still on the line and immediately puts me back on hold without saying anything. I put my phone on speaker and I wait him out, having already wasted an entire morning and half my afternoon.
Now this was the best part....HE BEGINS TO PRETEND LIKE HE IS HAVING MICROPHONE PROBLEMS AND CANNOT HEAR ME (yes I know, what does his microphone have to do with hearing me, I had the same thought). It is obvious he has simply either taken his headset off his head or moved the mic far away from his mouth and is pretending he can't hear me and that he will call me back and asks for my number. I ask him how is he going to hear me tell him my number (which by the way he already took at the beginning of the conversation) and he continues his ruse. So I hang up. It is obvious he doesnt know what to do and no one else there is going to help me.
Now I call back tonight around 930PM EST, and I get the Phillipines again. I go trough the whole polling phase with the girl and explain to her that I need the regionalization reset performed, and that all I need is to know which numbers of my printer to give to HP Support so that they can give me the code I need to reset this device. I politely tell her that I understand if she does not know what to do or understand what the procedure is and that I will not be angry with her if she is simply honest and tells me so, but that I want her to tell me if there is anyone there where she works who will definitely know how to do the reset, a supervisor or actual technical advisor, anybody. She is friendly and honest and says this is the frst time she has heard of this and she will ask what to do. Back on hold for 5 or 10 minutes. She claims she is looking in her "resources" for the way to do this. Nothing. I ask her to please stop and get her supervisor, she claims she is checking with her supervisor and that they are "checking the resources" for the procedure to reset regionalization. I foolishly think we are making progress.
After 20 minutes of her constantly telling me she is checking her resources, even after I have told her what the procedure entails and that all she needs to do is find the procedure and tell me which numbers it requires from the device itself in order to provide the reset code, I tell her to stop what she is doing and put her supervisor on the phone. She stalls. She says she is sorry but they have never heard of this procedure before and that she will schedule me a call-back for tomorrow. YEAH RIGHT. I ask her WHO is going to call me tomorrow? She replies that it will be them and that they will have the answer. I tell her that I already heard that from them the night before and I dont have another day to be wasted. I tell her to put her supervisor on the phone and I want the name of whoever is in charge of her office. She tries to ignore me and continues to ask for my phone number (which she already has). I press her for the name of who is in charge and she finally claims "Peter" is the supervisor. I tell her to put "Peter" on the phone. 10 minutes of hold and later a guy picks up the line, claims he is "Peter" and asks how I am doing. I politely say I am well and I ask him for his last name. He asks why I need his last name. i repeat my question, "What is your last name Peter?"..........his reply? "hello, sir? I am having trouble hearing you, can you hear me?" He begins to play with the microphone and puts me on hold. Each time he picks up and asks if I am there I immediately ask him for his last name, to which he resumes the ruse that he cannot hear me. I stay on the line. At this point it appears that HP must have some sort of policy where their "Support" personnel are not allowed to hang up the phone first, perhaps it is even tracked as a half-assed internal method of "Quality Assurance", and these people know it and this is why they will leave you on hold for ever and wait until you hang up. So, I wait Peter out for about 10 minutes, I am not on hold because there is no music, the microphone is simply muted. I tell him i know he is there and can hear me, and that i know he cannot hang up first, and then he promptly hangs up.
SO, my question....
NOW WHAT?
How does anything get escalated at HP when their overseas "Support" doesn't know what to do?
I live in Miami and there is a corporate headquarters there for HP Latin America. I am thinking of walking right into the lobby and finding someone with authority, but in all honesty I just want the d*** printer region reset so I can use these ink cartridges I already bought and opened.
Suggestions?

Hi,http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03149924&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en#N89
First, I am sorry to see your experience, however be aware that this forum is a peer-to-peer community and not a direct contact with HP.
To clarify, the product specification do list the ink cartridges regionalization, the specifications itself reffer to HP Suresupply to locate the ink cartridges for your region, as well as the following document which clearly state that information:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03239171&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en...
Firs be sure to have the latest software installed prior contacting HP support, which should be listed as 28
You may find that information listed in the following document (Check the How can I tell which driver version I have? section), if you have any older version be sure to uninstall it and install the latest software, as listed within the same document:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03149924&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en#N89
If you need, the latest software can be found below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-108821-3&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en...
Next ensure you have any of the 564 ink cartridges, once the printer being reset it require all the 4 ink cartridges to work
Finally check the private messages I sent you prior contacting HP support , the envelope icon at the top-right part of that screen.
The ensure you use the correct contact details lease double chekc it below:

Help Solving: Does not contain a definition for 'Select'.....

Hi,
Need help solving a Task that returns a Task<IEnumerable<Writing>> so I can fill ObservableCollection<ViewModels.IWritingItemViewModel> Writings for my
Design Time Data Page:
<d:Page.DataContext>
<designTimeData:MainPageViewModel />
</d:Page.DataContext>
My constructor does this:
public MainPageViewModel()
var writings = this.GetGroupsAsync();
this.Writings = new ObservableCollection<ViewModels.IWritingItemViewModel>();
var viewmodels = writings.Select((x, i) => new WritingItemViewModel
Writing = x,
VariableItemSize = (i == 0) ? Common.VariableItemSizes.Writings : Common.VariableItemSizes.Normal,
My var writings = this.GetGroupsAsync(); is:
public async Task<IEnumerable<Writing>> GetGroupsAsync()
await this.GetMenuDataAsync();
return this.Groups;
which in turn gets data from:
private async Task GetMenuDataAsync()
Uri dataUri = new Uri("ms-appx:///DesignTimeData/MenuData.json");
StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(dataUri);
string jsonText = await FileIO.ReadTextAsync(file);
JsonObject jsonObject = JsonObject.Parse(jsonText);
JsonArray jsonArray = jsonObject["Groups"].GetArray();
foreach (JsonValue groupValue in jsonArray)
JsonObject groupObject = groupValue.GetObject();
Writing group = new Writing(
groupObject["UniqueId"].GetString(),
groupObject["IsHeaderInteractive"].GetBoolean(),
groupObject["ViewType"].GetString(),
groupObject["ModelType"].GetString(),
groupObject["Page"].GetString(),
groupObject["Title"].GetString(),
groupObject["Subtitle"].GetString(),
groupObject["ImagePath"].GetString(),
groupObject["Description"].GetString(),
groupObject["GroupId"].GetString()
foreach (JsonValue itemValue in groupObject["WritingMenus"].GetArray())
JsonObject itemObject = itemValue.GetObject();
group.WritingMenus.Add(new WritingMenu(
itemObject["UniqueId"].GetString(),
itemObject["Page"].GetString(),
itemObject["Title"].GetString(),
itemObject["Subtitle"].GetString(),
itemObject["ImagePath"].GetString(),
itemObject["Description"].GetString(),
itemObject["Content"].GetString(),
itemObject["WritingsId"].GetString(),
itemObject["GroupId"].GetString(),
Convert.ToInt32(itemObject["Item"].ValueType)
this.Groups.Add(group);
and I get this Error:
Error 5 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<App1.DesignTimeData.Writing>>'
does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type
'System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<App1.DesignTimeData.Writing>>'
could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I'm creating collections of:
public interface IWritingItemViewModel : Common.IVariableSizedItem
Models.Writing Writing { get; set; }
and my class for creating data is:
public class Writing
public Writing(
string uniqueId,
bool isHeaderInteractive,
string templateType,
string viewModelType,
string page,
string title,
string subtitle,
string imagePath,
string description,
string groupId
this.UniqueId = uniqueId;
this.IsHeaderInteractive = isHeaderInteractive;
this.TemplateType = templateType;
this.ViewModelType = viewModelType;
this.Page = page;
this.Title = title;
this.Subtitle = subtitle;
this.ImagePath = imagePath;
this.Description = description;
this.GroupId = groupId;
this.WritingMenus = new ObservableCollection<WritingMenu>();
public string UniqueId { get; private set; }
public bool IsHeaderInteractive { get; private set; }
public string TemplateType { get; private set; }
public string ViewModelType { get; private set; }
public string Page { get; private set; }
public string Title { get; private set; }
public string Subtitle { get; private set; }
public string ImagePath { get; private set; }
public string Description { get; private set; }
public string GroupId { get; private set; }
public virtual ObservableCollection<WritingMenu> WritingMenus { get; private set; }
How can I solve or successfully complete this code?
Thanks!...
Code is like a box of chocolates!...

I looked into your error message again, I found something interesting:
Error 5
'System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<App1.DesignTimeData.Writing>>'
does not contain a definition
for 'Select'
and no extension method
'Select' accepting a first argument of type
'System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<App1.DesignTimeData.Writing>>'
could be found (are you missing a
using directive or an assembly reference?)
That means: Task does not contain the definition for Select. This was reasonable, Task does not inherit IEnumerable interface.
var viewmodels = writings.Select((x, i) => new WritingItemViewModel
Writing = x,
VariableItemSize = (i == 0) ? Common.VariableItemSizes.Writings : Common.VariableItemSizes.Normal,
public async Task<IEnumerable<Writing>> GetGroupsAsync()
You need get the IEnumerable<Writing> for Select use. See this for more information:

Firefox was working fine earlier today and now when I try opening it, I get this message: Firefox does not know how to connect to server" and no pages will load. Internet Explorer works fine.

I have changed nothing on my computer, and it was opening and functioning fine this morning. However, everytime I try to open it, I get a message box saying "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features." And when the page actually opens, it says "Unexpected response from server
Firefox doesn't know how to communicate with the server.
Check to make sure your system has the Personal Security Manager
installed.
This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server."
Nothing will load and I don't know what's wrong!

Did Firefox update to 4.0.1?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

The iphone app has nothing to do with finding the iphone on which it is installed. it is for finding your other devices from your iphone.
Find my iphone is a built in feature of the iphone. You simply have to set it up from settings. If you have done this:

Firefox 4 opens multiple windows. Have tried every suggestion to fix but does not help. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am a developer. Not sure if it was a programming thing or not but now FF 4.0.1 constantly opens up multiple windows each time I open it. Sometime around 3-4 and other times about 15 to 20 windows. I have searched your KB and Google and have tried every recommended fix but nothing helps. I am not infected, no malware and everything else is fine. I will provide remote access to my system via TeamViewer (or your option) if someone can please identify the problem or provide new details on how to troubleshoot this. I will have to find a new browser soon if this is not resolved. Many folks are suffering due to this...not just me.

This shit remains in Firefox 5. Nothing's changed.
Mozilla began to venture releasing a defective commodity.

HELP! Does anyone know how to do this effect?

You know the common special effect when a person is "thinking back" or "remembering something." The picture does kind of a wave effect so that it looks like the person's thoughts are going back in time. Know what i mean?
Can this be done in FCE??? How??? I would REALLY APPRECIATE your help!
THanks much!
Karen

You could try a slow ripple dissolve. You really need an animateable filter. CHV has some. I'm not sure if they have one that does what you want.
All the best,
