Help In Lightroom Help

Not sure why this is happening or how to fix. If I click on Help in Lightroom and then Lightroom Help to bring up topics, it trys to open PageMill and can't.. Why would it do this, and how do I get around this problem?
Thanks.

What platform? Help useually opens in a browser. You may have to locate the Help files and make sure they are directed to your browser of chice, instead of PageMill.

How can I get Lightroom help to work in 5.6? I get error that it is unavailable and that I should check my internet connection.

F1 gives me the following error.
"Online help for Lightroom is not available. Please check your internet connection and try again. Help files can also be installed locally using the Adobe Community Help Tool."
How can I remedy this?

This is not a bug, it is intended behavior.
In search fields you might want to search for parts of the name, using a wildcard, that's why the auto-complete is not working there.
If an end user wants to search the complete name, he can use the LOV to pick a value.

I cannot open HELP in Lightroom 3.6.

When I go to Lightroom HELP it will not open. I have been able to open it in the past without any problem.
I'm using Windows XP and Lightroom 3.6.
If I have changed anything I'm not aware that I did that.
Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

I am getting this error message as well. I have just downloaded Lightroom recently. I try to click on Lightroom / preferences....and nothing happens. I tried to uninstall and it is greyed out so I can't do that either. Suggestions? Please help?

I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac. I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac. I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

Help! Lightroom freezes after installing.

I get this message after trying to create or open a catalog: "An error occured when attemting to change modules." Then Lightroom freezes.
I work on a Mac and have formatted and reinstalled my systemdisk with a qlean install. I had Lightroom installed and have used it for some years. But when installing the programs again I went for the Creative Cloud solution. When I tried to open my previous catalog I got this error message. And after several deinstallings and reinstallings I still get the same message and Lightroom freezes.
Anyone who can help?

Hi Ian.
Thank you for answering. But I find no such file in Preferences. I think Lightroom freezes before making the preference file. Other solutions?
Best wishes,
Magne

Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

well the reason I wanted to talk to someone live because it would take forever to explain everything on here But anyway, here goes. I have an HP Pavilion Notebook with Intel Core i5-323om CPU @2.60 GHz and 8 gb ram 64bit. I am trying to run Lightroom 5.7 on my laptop and having major issues. I use an external hard drive for the storage of my photos. When I try to use Lightroom I run into many issues: Flickering of the screen, freezing up, slow, the loading circle just goes round and round lol. If I go to the washroom or leave the computer for even a minute it freezes up. I have to keep pressing Ctr/alt/delete to bring it back when it flickers. I have to constantly exit out of the program and restart it to be able to edit even just a couple of photos and then it starts acting up again.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing, updating everything on my pc, changing compatibility settings, updating development settings, I even took the laptop into have it looked at and they did all kinds of updates etc...and still couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for me. I have gone through the lists of troubleshooting for LR problems and there just seem to be nothing that works.....I have made new catalogues, moved them, tried using the software on my pc without the EHD, etc etc.......I have tried EVERYTHING...I think.....so I was looking for some answers as to why this is happening....

Why is the "Lightroom Help"(F1) and the "Map Module" Offline?

I ask because everything requiring Internet connection thru Lightroom appears fine, such as the Web Module! There is nothing wrong with my Home Network nor any usage of the Internet, except when it comes to the Map Module and contacting "Lightroom Help"(F1) from the HELP Menu within Lightroom! I have been using Lightroom for a couple of years without encountering this issue and am baffled as to how to address solving it. Any input would be appreciated!

This is a well-known issue with Lightroom. Lots of adjustment brush usage on a particular photo will cause high CPU usage.
If you need to do a lot of brushing, you may be better off doing these tasks in Photoshop.
By the way, I have no idea what SSBOD means, I have never seen that acronym before.

Lightroom Help Causes App to Lock-Up

I am a new user of Lightroom and have loaded it on a Windows 7 64bit Home Edition laptop. Whenever I click on "Lightroom Help" or "Lightroom Module Help" in the Help menu, the application locks up. I get the same results with version 3.3 (which I downloaded) and version 3.2 (which is what was in the package I bought). The application loads Lightroom 64bit by default, but I also loaded the 32bit version to see if it would work there as well. No combination I try seems to make a difference. Being that I am a brand new user of Lightroom, not having help available is a big deal to me - and I am not always connected to the internet whenever I am using the app so online help isn't a suitable substitute either. Additionally, I am concerned that there is something else lurking in the background that is going to cause the app to lock-up that I just haven't discovered yet.
In the System Event Log, I only see this message accompanied by a 1002 Event code:
The program lightroom.exe version 3.3.0.10 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: 2624
Start Time: 01cba51b6454aa65

Any ideas on what to do to correct this?

Lightroom help files

When I click help in Lightroom 4.3, a box opens and I can choose help for elements, but not Lightroom. Hlw dod I get help fo LR to appear so I can use it offline?

howmanypigginnamesdoitry wrote:
Opening help from within LR accesses help for Elements but not LR...
Getting the correct Help function to work from within Lightroom has been problematic for some. In order for it to function correctly I believe it requires that the Adobe Community Help app is installed and up-to-date, and that in turn requires Adobe Air to be installed. Once you have all three components working (obviously LR is a given) then it SHOULD work.

Cannot find Lightroom help

When I try to access Lightroom help from the help menu I get a windows message that "windows cannot find.............adobe lightroom\resources\fr\help\help.html".
I guess the problem is that I use an English version (the ....en\help\help.html is actually present) on a PC in France.
How and where can I correct the path to the English help menu?
Thanks in advance for help on this.
Niels

ok, I think I solved the problem. I changed the en folder name to fr and it seems to work.

When I press Lightroom Help...won't open....help!!!

I am trying to use the Lightroom Help with my Lightroom CC, windows edition. I get an error message reading "Cannot Display Help" - please advise on a fix.

Hi Jeffrey. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. We are aware of this issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, you can access the Lightroom Help here: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Lightroom Help

Lightroom help drop down

My online help drop down has stopped working. Message: Online help for Lightroom is not available. Check the internet connection and try again. I had no previous problem. My internet connection is working fine

Most likely the Internet connection problem is on the Adobe end of the wire. I suggest you wait for a short time and try again.

I need help installing Lightroom 5. I tried the trial and it does not have an uninstall feature. Thus, I'm trying to activate with my new $9.99 per month subscription and it simply will not work. Very frustrating you already took my money and no results

I need help installing Lightroom 5. I tried the trial and it does not have an uninstall feature. Thus, I'm trying to activate with my new $9.99 per month subscription and it simply will not work. Very frustrating you already took my money and no results, and very difficult to get help.

Just for clarity, "we" haven't taken your money - this is a user-to-user forum, and you're not talking to Adobe.
Like Rob I'm a Windows user, and - like him - I thought "uninstalling" on Macs was simply a case of trashing the application. Google would seem to concur.
Not really a Lightroom/Adobe issue, then?

Strange Catalog Issue or bug. Help, photos disappeared help?

My images disappeared in the catalog. They are not missing, they are just not visable. I think there is a bug in the Fliter section.
Let me explain. I have one Main folder with 5 Sub folders. All those folders contain random amounts of images. (i.e. the path would be... Photo/2010/BeachShoot, or Photo/2008/PartyPics... etc).
I imported 5 years of images, hence 5 Sub Folders. I was randomly flagging images to be rejected with the 'x' key. Basically routine maintenance... flag so many, then call up only the rejected photos in the grid view, select all, then delete. Remove the Flag Filter... repeat process over and over... Basic, simple work...
Now... doing the exact some thing.. I removed all Flag filters and my images are no longer appearing in the catalog. I tested, by turning on flags, off flags.. etc. The images did not accidentally get deleted. I checked my hard drive location. Images are there. I rebooted the machine, I opened up another catalog, to trick it back... did not work. I tried to re-import the images.. but it says they are already in the catalog.
Strange part: On the Left Sidebar window, under Catalog "All Photographs" it shows the correct number of photos in the catalog. However... the strange part... Under "Folders" in the Left Sidebar beneath Catalogs my Main Folder shows "Zero" number of images. But, if I click on a sub root folder where the images reside, they number changes from Zero to the correct number of images and my images reappear on the screen as normal..
The work around... click on every subfolder...
The solution... Unsure? Help!
