Help doesnt work, url links do nothing

I have windows 8.1.
When in thunderbird I press F1 and nothing happens.
Same with clicking on the Release Notes or Help Contents.
The same thing happens when I click on a link to a URL in a recieved email.
I have reviewed all the help on the net and none change anything.
I am using Firefox and it is set as my default browser.

OK I found the problem.
Here is the solution suggestedin https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hyperlinks-in-messages-not-working
''Check that no application is specified for the HTTP content type
In Thunderbird you can specify an action that occurs when you click on various types of attachments and inline content. If the action for the HTTP / HTTPS content type is set incorrectly, this will prevent links from opening correctly.
If the operating system's default browser is specified correctly as described above, it is not necessary to specify an action for the HTTP / HTTPS content type. To check this setting, select Tools | Options (Windows) or Thunderbird | Preferences (Mac and Linux). Click on the Attachments page. If HTTP and/or HTTPS are listed in the Content Type column, either delete the action or ensure the specified action is correct. ''
Even with it set to Firefox (Default) it does not work.
If you reset it to ask then when you say '''Use Firefox''' & click the box to '''Remeber... ''' box it will work and remember it. The option looks the same in the Thunderbird / Options / Attachments / Incoming but it behaves differently. (gotta love greedy microsoft, wanting Internet Explorer as default so they can track everything you do )
Also deleting the entries for http & Https also works as well as deleting the whole mimeTypes.rdf file.
Cannot really say whether the problem lies within the mimetypes.rdf layout I have or the way Windows 8.1 handles permissions (which seem to be a bit odd with a strange "Account Unknown" created when Firefox is installed).

Help doesnt work

Hi
My help application doesn't work - if i select help it just comes up with a blank screen. Any ideas why, how do i reinstall it?
Thanks
John

Hi John and if you didn't get one on your first post, a welcome to discussions!
You may not have to re-install it. Follow the instructions on Dr Smoke's Troubleshooting Help Viewer Page, in particular the 'Resetting Help Viewer' advice.
Good luck!

Online help doesnt work at web proxy admin pages

I logged in as admin to proxy admin pages. When I try to open online help, I get this error message:
Forbidden
Your client is not allowed to access the requested object.
host.demo.com - admin [14/Dec/2006:11:26:02 +0100] "GET /manual/ag/agapuirf5.html HTTP/1.1" 403 134
Anyone can help me?

Check the <server install dir>/proxy-admserv/config/obj.conf file
There is a line like this:
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/manual" dir="/path/to/proxy//manual/proxy"
// (double slash) somewhere in the path is a possible cause of the problem.
correct the line like this:
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/manual" dir="/path/to/proxy/manual/proxy"
and restart the admin server
hope this helps

URL link looks awful in IWeb

I attached a URL link to my podcast in Garageband. It looks great in GB, but when I view it in iWeb it is colored cyan and typeface switched to times roman. The URL link looks nothing like it did in Garageband. What could be the problem? Thanks for your help.

I think you're more likely to get an accurate answer in the iWeb Forum (at least it sounds to me like an iWeb issue rather then a GB issue ... check with the folks there and see what they have to say)

Help.....the URL link in iCal stopped working!

I have often used the URL link within an iCal event (Get Info) to click on it to take me to a certain web site. Well....for some reason, I now click on the URLs and they DO NOT work! When I create a new Event, and add a URL to it, it will not work. I deleted the iCal plist preference....did not help. I have searched hi and lo, and can not see any other posts on this problem. Anyone have any ideas on how to get the URL to work?
thanks, Bruce

What is happening to make you think you can't add it in the code where you want to add it? Are you trying to add the Application tag as well, or just the LinkButton? BTW, you might get more help if you post in the Flex forum instead of this one.

My ipod touch 5th gen. 16gb ios 8.1.2 wont turn on, i press the power button and nothing happens, and my home button doesnt work, PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

My ipod touch 5th gen. 16gb ios 8.1.2 wont turn on, i press the power button and nothing happens, and my home button doesnt work, PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Simple question: calling URL link with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is not working

Hi folks,
this should be an easy question, but I have no idea why it's not working :-(.
In one of my form, I would like to place an URL link behing button.
For this purpose I'm using below code:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://www.google.com','_blank');But when above code is executed, nothing happens :-(.
Could it be because I'm using it within modal type of window?
Thanks,
Tomas

have you checked with using self instead of blank to see if it will replace your current page with the one you are tyring to call?
Have you got any other firefox plugins running such as Ad block? can you try disabaling all addons and even the internal pop-up blocker jus to see if this will work?
if self works but blank does not how about having the main app called from a multi frame page. one frame with the app in and the other frame with some javascript that can be called to open a new window? dont know if that will work and its late so probably not thought it thorugh fully :)

Flash CS5 Newbie - Need help adding URL link to animated banner

I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I am a newbie at designing in Flash. I have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It all depends whether you're decisively using AS2.0 or AS3.0 .
In the latter, you would need to use a URLRequest() method in conjunction with a navigateToUrl() call (not sure the exact syntax for navigate to Url, it might be a capitalized "URL" in the method but the request takes a String argument such as http://www.adobe.com)

URL links not working in safari

Hello, I am unable to open URL links in Safari. (iPad) all was well until a few days ago and I must have done something! Everything else is working fine. Can anyone help me sort this out. I'm sure there is something in settings but I can't find it. Thanks in advance. Pat

Clear Safari, close Safari and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I'm not looking for any warranty help or something, I just want a diagnosys of my phone's situation....
My phone is acting as if there was no battery in the phone. When there is no cable plugged, nothing happens. When there is a cable, something happens (not a lot though....).
Could it be the battery port on the motherboard that's down ?
PS : I've taken a Genius-bar appointment because I can't stand in that situation for years, so I'm not absolutely looking to gain money and avoid Apple's official help.

Bought Muse CC Subscription, doesnt work on either of my CC accounts, Help!

Hi,
I have a two CC accounts. One for work and one for home. I had muse on my work account working fine, but before that i had a subscription for muse that i didnt use and expired. Ever since downloading CC to my home computer, muse doesnt work.
I purchased a new subscription today (31-08-2013) but when it comes to downloading, links to the CC above which is my work one, even tohugh im signed in as the one used for Muse subscription. On launch it comes with the meesage above that my subscritpiton has expired. but ive just bought a new one!
Help me!!

Hi, I've been having the same problem for the last year over and over again. Very few support members seem to really care and of those that do care only a rare couple (so far: just one) actually know how to solve this problem. Last time I ran into this problem of renewing my license after not using Muse for a couple of months I spent 3 hours (!!!) on chat support and basically they just don't know what the problem is. They tell you the program should ask for a code (it doesn't), they tell you to delete the program and then reinstall it (doesn't work either). Only once I had a support chap giving me an alternative download link (after about 1,5 hours of chat support and going from one help desk to another) that really solved everything. That was a one time blessing that did not get repeated, unfortunately.
Anyway, bottomline: I love Adobe products, but purchasing them and renewing them seems to be dysfunctional beyond belief.
I react because I would like to pay for my subscription and, in fact, need to use muse again. But I don't want to start another trip into waisting hours and hours of precious time in non-functioning Adobe support systems. So I was surfing on the web to look for a possibility to just buy Adobe Muse outright without the monthly subscription fee. Or, least attractive option, just download an illegal version. Because really, if I want to pay for the product, how come Adobe cannot make the purchase experience smooth and pleasant without a total waist of time and excess of frustration?
So here's to Adobe: please check my chat support tags and fix this problem. As soon as you have your problem solved, let me know and I will be a willing, paying and happy customer once again.
