Help menu disconnects Elements 8

Hi, rather than suffer with the problem I decided to find out what I can do about it, and hope you can help me. I have Elements 8 on mac. When I click on HELP and the drop down menu shows up, I click on one of the subjects and the program disconnects. I get a error message to send to Apple but I don't think it's an Apple problem but an Elements problem.
I should say, that when I first loaded the Elements 8 program it used to do the same thing. I would open the program. Open a photo and it would disconnect. No error message to send. I would restart and it would work fine. It did this for a while then a few months ago stopped and it works fine now. A few days ago I decided to check something on the Help menu and have the above problem.
Hope you can help.
Thanks,
Freda

Sorry for the delay in response. I could not find the response button at the forum. Thank you for responding. I resolved the problem with the help of Elements Village. It was only the Help menu that was causing the problem. So far the other menu options I needed were working fine. And I am able to open photos through Bridge and edit the pics.

A few questions:
- Are you able to use the Elements in opening and editing pics?

Photoshop elements 7 Help menu

Does anyone know why the Help Menu on Photoshop elements 7 is no longer working?

Hi,
Thank you for the link. I have downloaded the PDF file and it does help a bit. However, it is not the same as clicking on Help and getting the options for Search, Index and Contents tabs that most Windows applications (including previous version of Elements and Photoshop CS2) have.
Why can't I just press F1 and get help that resides on my hard drive?

I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements 5

I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements number five.
When I open the help menu, the dialogue box defaults to an unreadable display font. Is there any way to change that default font? Using the help menus to find a solution is not possible for I cannot read what it is displaying.

For product, there is an option in preferences where we can set fonts. There are two options: One is application font and other is system font. I am talking about elements 8 which I have but not sure that will solve your problem which is help related.
Hope Help in 5th version is html which opens in Browser? Please confirm.

Elements 13 will not update from the help menu

Hi, Just installed elements 13, updates does not work from the help menu, adobe application manager opens and the search for updates is continuous, just keeps searching.
cheers
Darryl

Have you tried it on more than one date? Sometimes the site shuts down temporarily.
Have you tried from both Premiere Elements and the Elements Organizer -- or even Photoshop Elements? It's all the same updates.
Are you logged in with your Adobe ID?
What operating system are you using?

Photoshop Elements 8 crashes every time I open Help menu

I just got a Bamboo Capture tablet accessory for my iMac from the Apple Store. It comes bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. I installed Elements, yet every time I try to open the HELP menu it crashes and an error message comes up saying
"Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 quit unexpectedly."
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'launch path not accessible'
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.
I have an iMac running OS X Snow Leopard
Adobe won't offer any assistance unless I pay $39, even though I bought this product TODAY!

Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 8 settings
Repair permissions and try again. Also, I hope you didn't install the driver from the disc that came with your tablet. Go to Intuos's website and download the latest version.

I have CS2 but my help menu shows up as Photoshop Elements

I have CS2 but my help menu shows up as Photoshop Elements. Does any one know what the issue is?

THANK YOU CHRIS!
You solved my problem. I did have one unused language defined, i thought i needed 2 languages but apparantly i don't, because my DVD now works fine.
It was very hard to trace the problem because the whole concept of languages and menus is still sort of unclear to me. I guess i need to do some studying on that. The DVDP manual sadly lacks a good tutorial on how to set up a multi-lingual DVD with multiple subtitle streams.
Now i've set up 2 menus for each version (the movie with and without subtitles), only one language and all is well.
One thing still puzzles me: The first version (the one with the unusued language) did play fine on a G4 with Panther. The white menus showed up on a G5 with Tiger and on my standalone DVD-players. So somehow Quicktime also plays a role in this. The fact that this is a DVD9 has nothing to do with it. Thanks again.

Elements Help Menu

When I try to access Elements 11 Help menu I get a message "there was an error launching the default browser" I already tried to reinstall the program and I get the same error message. How can I get the Help menu to work?

You could download the latest help files to your local machine. They are available in PDF format although may be a bit slow downloading.

Elements 5. NO HELP Menu available - any clues appreciated!

Just called cust.serv. but they sent me here. Got this Elements with a scanner I bought recently. Just started using...I love the program...however I am new and needed to use the help menu...I could not access anything on the help menu! Nada - when I click on the help drop down menu, nothing, when I type a word in and hit enter, nothing.
I run this on a PC with Microsoft XP as my o.s. Anyone out there have a clue as to why this might happen and/or how I might access this?

Sylvia:
First thing to try is to re-install Photoshop Elements from the CD that came with your scanner.
Second thing would be to look at the Elements 6 online help at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/6.0/index.html
Version 6 is different than Version 5 in many ways, but it's also the same in many ways.

I need help! Premere elements 9 wont open correctly

Hello I am running windows 7 and I have Premere elements 9. I think I got a virus latley and now when I try to open elements 9 it will only open up a mostly gray screen and the only thing I can click on is the Organizer. The project bord, timeline, ect, wont open any more. Also I cannot open any exiting projects that I have made. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program just to have thesame results. Please help and thank you.

Did you go to the ccleaner link
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
And, when you got there, did you click on the green Download Button for the free ccleaner?
If you did, then you should have not seen a page where the left column was devoted to the free ccleaner.
Further down in the left column for the free ccleaner is a "Download from:" with several choices. Select
Pinform.com.
If you follow that route, you have a free ccleaner which can be a lifesaver in situations such as these.
On the other matter...
In the open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Help Menu there is the Deactivation option. Please hit that, close the project/program, and then continue with the uninstall, ccleaner, reinstall as suggested.
The Adobe Licensing Agreement allows for the user to place the same purchased serial number on no more than 2 of his/her computers. If the user has a 3rd computer and wants to install the same purchased serial number product, then one of the 2 others need to be Deactivated to allow for the install on the 3rd so that the total remains at 2 for same purchased serial number used on the owner's computers.
Deactivation going from computer to computer is essential. But, I believe it is good practice to do that in this instance of your one computer involved in order to do a complete clean up/clear out.
Again, this Deactivation is done within the opened project, Help Menu/Deactivate, and the project/program closed before doing the uninstall in the Control Panel area. When you are going through the actual Control Panel area uninstall with its dialogs, one of the initial ones may make mention of the Deactivation, but nonetheless do the Deactivation in the opened project as described.
Please let us know if you are OK with the information supplied. And, remember to click yes to backup registry when you are doing the registry portion of ccleaner. If you have any problems working with ccleaner, please let me know and I will supply screenshots. But you should OK following the programs instruction.
Do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that I have written.
Thanks.

Using the Microsoft help icon (?) in a customised tab integrated in the help menu

I am using the Visual Studio and customizing it for my company. I want to use their help icon in a tab in the help menu which is personalized and integrated with the Visual studio build. I am unable to find the image (?) used. Can anyone help me in locating
the image and how to reference it so that I can use it for my integrated menu.

Hi Emon205,
The real issue is that which VS version you were using.
For the VS2010, it has the VS2010ImageLibrary.zip. This file is typically installed in … \Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\VS2010ImageLibrary\1033\.
Please Extract All for this zip file, and then follow the directions to extract the images.
You could get the help image here:
...\VS2010ImageLibrary\_Common Elements\Objects
But like VS2013, as James's suggestion, you would download it by yourself.
Best Regards,
Jack

Why can't I update Camera Raw 6.6 through Help menu?

I have a Photoshop Element 10 Editor (the one bought from App Store), and now I try to update Camera Raw to 6.6. After reading through Adobe's website, they suggest to update it from help menu but problem is I couldn't find the update in my help menu. What did I do wrong? So I then downloaded the Camera Raw 6.6 from Adobe Website trying to manually install it, and now I got a message "Update is not applicable". What does this mean now? Any advice please...
Also, I contacted Adobe via Live Chat, and then I got supporter who asked me for only serial number otherwise there is no help. I then told him, App Store did not provide one but seems he doesn't have a clue what is App Store and insisted me to contact the store directly to ask for a serial number. ??? I tried to explain him that the App Store is the store where you downloading software online through Apple's computer, and he seems still not understand what App Store is and concluded me if I have any other question I would like to ask? Great.. so I asked him where he is residing and he replied "India". Well.. I don't know how the support live chat go through India, but I want a support from someone who know what "App Store" is. His name is Vasu, seems to be a gentle man but.....

You can't update it because you have the app store version. Apple doesn't allow apps sold via the app store to update any way except via the app store, and adobe evidently doesn't think it's worth creating a whole new version every time there's a raw update. You can do it manually, although it's quite a pain. Directions are in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4106312#4106312
EDIT Incidentally, although I doubt it will help with tech support (they often seem to be missing all PSE pages from their script books), for the app store version your serial number is your apple ID, at least when it comes to qualifying for upgrade pricing and things like that.

Help Menu is Wrong - Menu button on remote needs to go...

to Menu.
Seems like a no-brainer.
Help menu says: "The remote control settings are in different Inspector locations for different elements:
Disc Inspector: The commonly used remote control settings (Title, Menu, and Return) are in the General tab. The Advanced tab contains the settings that are not often used (Angle, Chapter, Audio, and Subtitle)."
This isn't true. If I select "Menu" in graphical or outline mode - then select "Inspector" then select "General" Tab - it lists "Start - Loop Point - End" NOT the "commonly used remote control settings".
Please help someone... I'm inches from getting this ball in the endzone - and project is late.

Answer: select the Disc icon in Outline - not the Menu. Then you get to set Remote button functions.

Help menu is damaged

My help menu from a purchased copy of elements 10 is damaged according to the menu
Message title was edited by: Brett N

I purchased a copy of elements 10 from Office Depot. I installed the program and it works fine. However, when I try to use the help menu for quick answers, i get a pop up box that infroms me that the help menu on this program is damaged. It advises me to contact the manufacturer or to reinstall the program. Trying to reinstall i have one option; it wants to uninstall the program. It also informs me that it is a one time thing. I'm concerned that if i uninstall the program, i won't be able to reinstall it. Does this explantion help further? Can i download the help menu without downloading the entire program from Adobe downloads?

Lightroom 4 Help Menu

When I use the Help menu in Lightroom 4, the only option I have is for Lightroom 3 and other Adobe products like Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, etc.. Why can't I get Lightrrom 4 Help?

Note that there is a link to a .pdf download in the upper right corner.
Adobe Help is a little funky in the two other Adobe products I have too. It wants to seach the entire Adobe "knowledge base" for clues to whatever you are trying to look up.
For example, if you have a question about a feature or tool that has not been answered for the current version, but was for an earlier version, it wants to provide that answer.
