Even iCloud online help doesn't work
So far iCloud seems scary awful, at least on a Mac.
It should be, but isn't, patently obvious how to make backups start. I have everything selected except Mail & Notes, which requires yet another new email address, selected in the pane, but nothing is backing up. Clicking on the question mark at the bottom left of the iCloud pane always brings up a page that falsely states that I'm not connected to the Internet.
I'm trying to think of a more badly implemented out-of-the-box Apple product, but I cannot. The learning curve for iCloud should be almost zero, but that is far from the case.
In the 16 years I've been using the Internet, iCloud is the first time I can create no email address with one of my typical permutations. For instance, I can't create [email protected], because nothing distinctive is available. It would seem that Apple has chosen to not put defunct Mobil Me addresses back into circulation. So, rather than being able to use a personalized domain (e.g., [email protected]), I'm forced to choose something like [email protected] This is neither elegant not helpful.
Frankly, MobilMe was a lot better designed from the get-go.
"Frankly, MobilMe was a lot better designed from the get-go."
That's a scary thought...

I have just installed HTML DB stand alone release on my W2000 9.2.0.5 database.
The install process worked fine.
But the HTML DB online help doesn't work. when i click on the help icon the popup is there but with no contents.
When i click on the link:
Find (initial index creation may take several seconds)
This errors appears:
Error creating online help index.
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1022 ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
I thought that my oracle text was not or improperly installed because the CTXSYS account was locked. So i decided to reinstall it but with no success.
I decided to reinstall HTML DB (local install this time)but again it doesn't work
I searched in the forum, but it seems that nobody had meet the same issue, except HTMLDB.com (reinstall of oracle text was the solution)
I would like to try this new product but with the online help
Thanks in advanceJust to clarify why this is happening this way.
The online help contents are not loaded nor indexed at installation time. In a new installation, the very first time the help window is displayed and you click the 'Find' link, the help contents will be fetched and indexed using Oracle Text. They are fetched via HTTP by GETting them from the Oracle HTTP Server (they are static files under the images hierarchy, after all).
The URLs to fetch the help documents are constructed using the SERVER_NAME CGI environment variable as a component of the URL. So at indexing time, the database will issue HTTP GET requests to a specific URL, and if this URL cannot be located or the name not resolved, then issues will arise like you have witnessed.

Error while creating my first project on SP15 and why Help doesn't work?
Hello sdnrs,
I have a fresh SP15 installtion.
I have 2 problems creating my first webdynpro project.
1.When I go to file-new-project-webdynpro->(enter name)->next , I have windows poped up with the following error:
Plug in name: Web Dynpro Archive Builder
Plug in id: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.archivebuilder
class: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.archivebuilder.project.WebDynproStandaloneProjectWizard
Method: createJavaProject(IProject, IProgressMonitor)
Message: Problems encountered while setting project description.
Exeption: org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Problems encountered while setting project description.
I am frustrated cause I can't do any step futher...! Is there any special settings on the SDK, Window-Preferences, etc?
2.My Help doesn't work at all - it used to be (with SP11 slim) when i go - 'Help-SAP was docum-SAP webdynpro appl ' and I had my help window poped up.Now I dont have anything!
Thank you much in advance!
BobFor your information there's another solution if you don't wanna reinstall your NDS or if the reinstallaion doesn't work.
The error is in the resources so you have to replace some plugin resources to correct the error. Because of that you need access to the resources from somewhere else.
1. Go to c:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Documents\SAP\workspace\.metadata\.plugins and replace org.eclipse.core.resources with a "working" resource
2. Go to C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT\eclipse\plugins and replace org.eclipse.core.resources.win32_2.1.0 and org.eclipse.core.resources_2.1.1 with a "working" resource.
Restart NDS and it ought to work
Best regards,

How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.
Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5. -
Elements V4.0 HELP doesn't work
I'm using Windows XP with a ton of RAM and a ton of hard drive space available.
Having used Elements V2, I downloaded and installed the V4.0 TRYBUY. The installation seemed to work fine. However, the "Help option" in Elements V4.0 would not work. It's kind of hard to learn a new version without a manual or online HELP files!
I searched the Knowledgebase and forum messages for help on how to get HELP with the new V4.0. I DID find Knowledgebase Document 330621 that seemed to be applicable. However, "Allowing blocked content" in IE did NOT help. I then received error message "ahc.exe not found." I then searched the downloaded file TRYBUY for the HELP PDF file, but alas no such file was included in the TRYBUY download!
I have now uninstalled Elements V4.0. It seems I can't ask Adobe for help since I have to register Elements 4.0 before I can contact them - but wait, I don't want to buy and register before trying it out!
I'm willing to once again download TRYBUY and install again - buy first I'd like confirmation from someone that the online HELP function will work before doing so. Otherewise it is a waste of my time.Herbert,
Failing to disable Anti-Virus during installation has caused many seemingly good installations to have problems.
If you don't find another solution I would strongly recommend that you uninstall, track down and delete every left over folder, disable everything running in the notification area (systray) except the clock and reinstall.
I don't have 4.0 but the stray folders in 3 are C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 3.0.

Icloud password suddenly doesn't work on my mac
My apple user name and password haven't been changed at all for a long time. I have used it to access icloud and the itunes and everything.
But suddenly the password doesn't work 'on my mac.'
However it still works fine when I access icloud.com from my same computer.
But when I try to "manage my account" from system preferences (icloud), it doesn't work.
And also, when I access the itunes store from my same computer it doesn't work.
There are no error messages-- when I type in the password and press return it just reverts to the same page in which the password field is empty.
OSX 10.9.4
Thanks in advance for any help!I got this advice from BDAqua.
If it's never worked since moving to Mexico I think they'll have to call Apple...
Mexico... 001-866-676-5682
Before you call, have your serial number ready. Or start your support request online and we'll connect you to an expert.
Contact Apple for support and service
I'm sure it's some international rights/copyright type thing.
Try that, if the problem is new since you upgraded to Mavericks. -
When I start to type any for of question into the "Help" box of ANY application the iMac just freezes and the beachball starts to rotate. Eventually the typing is entered but after quite a delay, probably 30 seconds per letter.
Anyone ever come across this before?Sometimes just closing and reopening the Help window will clear up the problem. Otherwise, you may need to delete the Help cache.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpd
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test. Help pages will be slow to load at first.
If that doesn't work, the problem may be caused by network conditions. It may go away by itself, though I can't say how long you should wait.
A persistent failure to load help data has been reported as an issue with satellite networks. Test on a different network, if possible. I've also seen at least one report that Photo Stream in iCloud can mysteriously interfere with Help. I'm not sure whether that's true, but try disabling Photo Stream, if applicable.*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Shared iCloud photostream link doesn't work
Dear friends
Could you please help me. I'm trying to share my photo in iPhoto using icloud photo stream. After I upload all photos I click on a link "Visit Site" and get an error "icloud can`t find this page"
What`s the issue?
Thank youSpoke to an Applecare rep but he explained it's too new for them to know what's going on.
While on the phone tried sharing older images, newer images, smaller images and got it to work off and on. Tried creating an album from iPhone that did not work either, the link was a dud.
There's really no rhime or reason to when it works, for the most part it doesn't work.
It appears that you can add to an existing album without any problem so if you were lucky enough to be able to create a few you can manipulate these.
Also would be curious to know if you can set the main thumbnail image, and manipulate the order of the photos?
I'm really missing the MobileMe Galleries, those were a wonderful way of sharing photos and videos! -
I recently installed CS5 on my Mac mini at work. Everything seems fine, except that the help function is broken. If I choose Help -> [application name] Help, I get a kind of hiccup in the window (the palettes disappear for a second), and then I'm left in the same application. Meanwhile Adobe Help opens up in the background, but nothing loads. If I switch to it, everything is greyed out in the File, Edit, and Window menus except Special Characters. There are no windows!
I tried letting Adobe Help just run for a while, and it happily sits there eating 25% of my CPU, but nothing ever happens. Rebooting doesn't help either.
I've read elsewhere about people getting an error message when trying to use Help, but I don't get that. It all seems to be working, except that it doesn't actually load the help file into a window where I can access it!
Any suggestions?
Sample text from Activity Monitor follows:

Sample analysis of process 272 written to file /dev/stdoutMine doesn't work either.
I installed an After Effects CS5 trial version and that seems to have messed everything up.
Now that I have the Master Collection properly installed, the Help function kept giving me error messages.
Now it's doesn't even open at all. The Help, instead, opens in a browser, but without the navigation tree on the left which is very suffocating. I imagine they separated it so that it would work well in the new AIR Help app.
Anyway, I need help with help. -
CS6 Help Doesn't Work in Local mode
Hi,
I have downloaded the trial and installed it Mac OS Lion. The help application does not work; the omly thing that it will display is the settings window. After downloading local content and clicking done, the window disappears, but when you click on the application icon, it again reappears. Simply put, I cannot view the help at all in the Help application, even though I have set it up to always use local content. Anyone else run into this?
thxThe fact that Adobe had a wonderful offline help application with search, linking, an index, etc. etc. Was one of the major reasons why I paid so much for the software.
However, when I installed it, I was as disappointed as everyone else that the help application has been put into disrepair by Adobe, and they had zero offline help available for everyone, and yet the application was still built into their software.
After many people complained, Adobe promised at some point to deliver PDF files, which is, frankly, the stupidest idea since PDF files themselves are not reasonable for a help system. Anybody creating a PDF help system needs to do all the work creating the index, formatting, and everything. It is a significant amount of additional work, especially given you already have a help system that has served people very well and worked very fine.
Then. When Adobe does finally got around to sending out PDF's for offline help, they gave half-assed documentation and guess what... It contained links to online content, such as blogs, and video resources, etc.
First of all... Links to online content DOES NOT WORK for offline help purposes.
When paying nearly $1000 for software, a major selling point is that you have some kind of documentation you can go through that tells you what features are in the new software you purchased.
We literally had ZERO documentation to go through upon purchasing this software and Adobe has SEVERELY dropped the ball on us.
It would be better to just remove the help system from the software completely, because it is a fraud and false advertisement at this point to claim that Adobe software has any kind of help system built into the software.
As you have learned now. Third-party web sites are NOT a substitute for a help file. They do not work OFFLINE. They don't even work ONLINE as a help system, really.
To pretend like you have an offline help by having it open in a half-assed software with a link to the web, or to give people PDF's that link to the web, is UNACCEPTABLE for people wanting an "OFFLINE" help system.
SO... Either just say "There is no offline help", or create an actual offline help system. Pretending like you have offline help when you don't have it and just giving us more links to the web is not working. Something is seriously broken at Adobe. -
Link to online documentation doesn't work
Hi,
just a hint for the people at Sun: access to the online documentation http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/comp.app#hic doesn't work
any more. Searching for single documents still works, but the entry point isn't accessible.
I'm trying to access the site from Germany, may be it's a regional problem.
Regards,
DetlefMust be a regional problem. In the US, I can see the documentation by expanding the documentation tree like this
Software -- Enterprise Computing -- Sun Java System Suites -- Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite (Java CAPS) -
Icloud mail sending doesn't work for outlook2010
I am trying to setup icloud on my PC, but smtp send is not working. I used icloud control panel as well to get the settings. Does anyone know how to fix it? I am using IMAP and receiving works, but sending doesn't work. I tried these settings also: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623?start=0&tstart=0
Add me to the list. I can receive fine via IMAP settings but cannot send. I also set my client up with the same IMAP settings you referenced.
It had been working for the last week or so fine.
I'm using Windows Live Mail. -
Adobe Community Help Doesn't Work
For some reason, the help pages don't work, either in Photoshop CS5 Extended (12.0.4) or in Bridge (4.0.5.11). When I go to Help>Photoshop help (or Bridge help), I get the Adobe Community Help Page, but nothing on the right side of the page works. I can try to click on any link and nothing happens. (I am signed in, but that didn't matter.) I can only eanter a search request on the left and get search responses.
I was prompted earlier in the day to update Adobe Help with a thing called "airappinstaller". Adobe Community Help "about" page says I have version 3.5.0.23 and that my help is "up to date." I tried restarting but it still doesn't work. What's up?After installing the Adobe Air update I can reproduce the problem with Photoshop CS5 standard 12.0.4 on Windows 7 x64, Steve.
The cursor changes to a finger when I hover over the links in the right pane, but nothing in particular happens when they're left-clicked.
I can right-click a link and choose open in new tab. That does in fact open the selected page in a new tab.
I can click the link in the upper-right and the page opens in Internet Explorer 9, at which point all the links work, no problem.
I can see the Air installation was successful in the Windows Application log, but no error or other message is logged when I attempt unsuccessfully to use it.
I'm going to try logging off and on again. Edit: Nope, that didn't help anything.
No modifier keys get a left-click to do anything.
The Back button works.
I get a pop-up menu when I click on Welcome, Noel Carboni, but clicking on any of the entries does nothing.
I can click in the Black Search field at the upper right, and it puts a cursor there. I can type and when I hit enter the search causes the page to change.
When I hit the Home button all the little Ps etc. icons appear, and if I click on one it takes me to the page.
It seems like only the left-click function for navigating on text links is broken.
Anything else you'd like me to check?

The code from "help" doesn't work?\
Hi
I'm trying to change the color of the font of the TextArea
component to white. I use this code which I copy and paste directly
from "help":
import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;
if (_global.styles.TextArea == undefined) {
_global.styles.TextArea = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("color", 0xFFFFFF);
Doesn't work...
I try this one, again from the "help":
myTextAreaComponent.setStyle("color", 0xFFFFFF)
Again doesn't work...
Any clue????
Also, if a movie with a TextArea component is under a mask
the text isn't seen. What can I do about it? But this is a less
significant problem, the color of the text is what concerns me
most.Yes, kglad I tried this in a new document, and it works.
Don't know why it didn't work for the old one. Maybe I've mistaken
something...somewhere... who knows... Anyway, I don't need the text
white anymore, because I redesigned everything and I think it looks
better now, so it's not a problem.
Can you advize me something on the mask issue? It's not so
important but I'm curious. It could turn to be a problem if you
have a fullscreen flash movie and have content out of the stage.
Thanks!
Btw, just saw the spyrograph on your website. Looks
absolutely amazing !! :) -
Photoshop CS5 Help doesn't work
I just installed Master Collection CS5 today.
I discovered that the keyboard shortcuts for changing Brush Hardness (Ctrl-Option-Cmd) now activates something else.
First thing I did was goto Photoshop Help, just to find out that the fancy new Air Help app doesn't work. It says something like "this installation is damaged, reinstall or call adobe."
Well I put the disc back in and there's no option in install the Help app.
So... I have no Help now. Any ideas?Make Layer 3 active and select all (Ctrl-A) and copy it (Ctrl-C).
Alt-click on the empty mask thumbnail, that will give you a white work area.
Click on it and paste (Ctrl-V).
