Help files not available?

I am new to Leopard 10.5.6, working on a new MacPro, CS3. I wanted to explore options for exporting an InDesign file as text only, but I get the message "Adobe Help Viewer is not installed or the installation has been damaged. Please reinstall InDesign."
As I noted, this is a brand new machine, and I installed CS3 with no apparent problems a couple of days ago. And I made sure to update Leopard before the installation.
Is this one of those Leopard/Adobe problems, or do I really need to reinstall to restore the Help Files? I've been working with CS3 for a year now, and never encountered this problem on my older G5 with Tiger. Sadly (?), the logic board went out on that machine.
I appreciate your time and help.

I had the same issue: I have been running InDesign CS3 under Tiger (10.4) for a long time. InDesign was updated to 5.0.4.
When I upgraded to Leopard (10.5.6), the Help menu in CS3 just showed a Spotlight box, not the other CS3 Help menu contents, like InDesign Help, Activate, Register, etc.
I'm sure it was because I installed Leopard AFTER installing CS3. What I did was just re-run the Indesign_5_0_4.dmg updater, and now my CS3 Help menu is back to what it should be. I didn't have to reinstall everything, and the updater really did run even though IDCS3 was already "at" 5.0.4.
Just thought I'd post for other late late late Leopard adopters like me

    Till last time i remember in case you are not connected then it used to launch offline help or help files which are installed along with application. You can try the same else online help is always available. Also as said you can download and refer to it anytime on your machine.
    Also the video link for learninig PSE 9 is also there at http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-photoshop-elements-9. Feel free to let us know your comments.

  • Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

    I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
    I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
    I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
    So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
    Please someone help ...
    Thanks.

    Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

  • Getting "Help is not available..."

    Whenever I try to access the dynamic help from inside Flash Builder, I get a dialog saying "Help is not available at this time" and "Verify that you are connected to the internet then try again". I am connected to the internet. The Adobe Community Help application is installed. I've even instralled the latest one from Labs (with the built-in "find" function). I've doewnloaded help locally for Flex. I can access this help from within the Adobe Help application. But I can not access it from within Flash Builder 4. Attempting to do so shows the above error message. I sustpect a prefs file being out of whack, since the error message is totally bogus.
    Any suggestion appreciated.
    -JM

    Nope, didn't help. Got exactly the same error message. Note that the Adobe Help application works OK in all other CS5 applications (including Flash Professional). It's only its link to FB that somehow seems broken. It doesn't even attempt to launch it. If I select Dynamic Help on the Help menu then click an identifier, it appears in the Dynamic Help pane, as shown here:
    However, when I click the API in the Help pane, I get this error message:
    With the bogus error message (the computer can browse the Internet, send email, etc).
    So the qwuestion remains, how can I get AS3 help working again from within FB?

  • Legitimate newly purchased Premiere Elements-10 32-bit install files not available

    Friends:
    I purchased an $1100 Nikon camera and the deal included OEM PS Premiere Elements 10.
    Legit purchase with a CD and legit Serial #.
    Can't install because what is Adobe's fault, not the camera vendor's and certainly not mine.
    Adobe's own published notice:
    "The 64-bit version of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 only installs on Windows 7 64 bit. If you have Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit, it's necessary to install the 32-bit version. Because the Adobe Download Assistant automatically downloads the 64-bit version in error, it's necessary to download the 32-bit version manually through alternate means."
    The problem is that the same holds true for installing on XP Pro SP3 and Adobe makes no mention of it in the above admission.
    Then, Adobe's own Solutions 1, 2 & 3 for manual download all fail, even after fussing for days over it.
    Even Solution 3, the last ditch option, fails perhaps because Elements 11 is out and Adobe has killed the 10 download Ftp sites.
    Files I am unable to download from Adobe (without entrapment by so called Free Dowload sites) are:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.exe
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.7z
    How can I solve my dilemma, being denied my right to learn Elements from a legally purchased 10 and being
    forced to purchase 11 instead on top it. Fair?
    I am requesting Adobe politely to make it possible to download the Adobe recommended two files withou hassles.
    I must mention in this context my own  (and thousands of others') sad experience with Flash updates. Just follow
    my own (and others') posts in Adobe forums. Plus, just read the Internet posts along these lines:
    "It's impossible to download anything from Adobe. I have given up and I have given up on Adobe products."
    Not that I want to, but I am forced into echoing the same sentiment.
    Can anyone help, please ?
    Thanks,
    Pradip A.

    Hello Mr. Wright:
    The download now works. Appreciate your help.
    The ...7z file is 1.37 Gb long. I have super high speed Fibre Optic Internet connection with Bell. I rarely have the ocassion to download files of this size. After downloading more than 1 Gb, the transfer hung - either at the Client end, or at the Server end. Bell is sending tech Thursday to mitigate some line noise they detected. Hopefully, the stars will fall into the right place before long.

  • DW cs3 help files not installed

    DW CS3 F1 does not work. . . files not installed. Am I
    missing something? I began to reinstall dw but did not see a custom
    or options so I backed out. Any ideas?

    Not suite...I installed DW CD only and all its apps. like
    Bridge etc.
    I press F1 and I do get the help viewer, but it says files
    not available, and I searched *.chm files only found xmxml.chm or
    something like that (sorry not at that PC now).
    I am not squeemish about installing software, but with adobe
    I am extremely cautious. My last resort is to
    deactivate/un-register license and reinstall.

  • MM03 Material master display F4 help is not available

    Dear All..
                    For one particular user MM03 Material master display F4 help is not available
    even i have press the push button on material text the help is not popup.
    Even authorization already exist  for that user material master display.
    Please give your suggestion on this.
    Regards
    Anand.

    HI Anand,
    I am going to assume that the problem is with F4 help in general, and not just with MM03.
    If you have only one user with the problem, then the best way to troubleshoot is to compare with another user who is not having the same problem (like yourself).
    First check Help settings for the user:  From any screen, select Help>Settings  select F4 tab.  Review the settings. Look for differences.  Make corrections.  Save.
    If you can find nothing amiss, then the GUI is probably the culprit.  Check to see if this user is on the same version and patch as the 'successful' users.  From SAPLOGON, select the tiny SAP icon from the blue bar, then select 'About SAP logon'.  Alternately, you can right clik on the SAPLOGON on the Windows taskbar and select 'About SAP Logon'. 
    There are known problems of bad interactions between certain Microsoft Software and certain patches of SAPGUI.  If any problems, download the latest GUI version and patch from SAP software distribution Center
    http://service.sap.com/swdc
    Select Download>Support packages and Patches>Entry by Application group
    Select SAP frontend components.
    Select the appropriate platform, then download the version that you need.
    If the user is on the same vers & patch as you, and you can't find any other problem, might be a good idea to reinstall the SAPGUI.

  • "Preview for Files Not Available" & "Failed to Find a Place for the Imported File"??

    Hi,
    Tried with this but still the same issue..
    Stop the application services, recompile the JSP files manually, and start the application services. Check the login page then.

  • Create Option Under File Not Available

    Just purchased Acrobat XI Pro, and was attempting to scan a document to create a PDF. The instructions said to use File/Create/Scanner, but the Create option is not available under File at all. Only Create PDF Online. Please help if anyone can.

    You must start Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

  • I am having problems with an update.  I spoke with Prabhudev on 9/27.  He was unable to resolve my problem and referred me to call 800-833-6687.  When I call, I get an automated message that help is not available.  What now?

    My Mac tells me there is an update for Photoshop CS5, the Camera Raw 6.7 update.  It downloads, installs, then gives me an error message that the installation failed, error code U44M1P7, and advises contacting Customer Support.  I did so.  On 9/27 I chatted with Prabhudev.  He referred me to a link to download the update.  I did the download and tried to install.  I got an error message - "Error - “AdobePatchInstaller.app” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.“AdobePatchInstaller.app” is on the disk image “AdobeCameraRaw-6.7-mul-AdobeUpdate.dmg”. Safari downloaded this disk image today at 12:54 PM from www.adobe.com"  He then said
    Prabhudev: Okay, In this case I suggest you to contact our technical support team on monday.
    Prabhudev: 800-833-6687
    That number gets me to a recording that tells me that phone support is not available.
    I can open and use Photoshop, but whenever I check for updates for my computer, this same update comes up, gets downloaded, and fails to install.  I want to either get rid of the update message or get the update installed.  Can anyone help?

    Further info - I changed my security settings to allow apps from anywhere, and again tried to install.  I again got an error message
    that the update failed to install, and to contact Customer Support.

  • Help File not displaying with in SAP

    Hi
    Im trying to get the help file to work in SAP.
    i Have looked at where SAP is fetching the file and i have placed it there.
    But when i go into SAP and press F1 i get an error message ...
    "Navigation to the webpage was canceled
       What you can try:
         Retype the address. "
    Can anyone please help me with this one as to why it is not working?
    Thanks

    Dear Jonathan,
    Could you please try the following steps :-
    o Change the Help Settings from 'Shared Folder' to 'Local
    Installation' under Help => Help Settings.
    o Business One will then look for the Help folder on the local B1
    Client and not on the B1 Server.
    o This will only work if the B1 Client has the Help folder locally
    installed.
    o If not this could be manually copied from SBO_SHR directory to
    the client.
    o Alternatively all the B1 Clients will need to be reinstalled.
