In the Finder, when I open the HELP menu the window opens, but there is nothing in it and my cooling fan starts zinging.

Help menu in finder not working

I select Mac Help in the help menu in finder and it tries to open and fails. Does anyone else see this problem? Any fixes?

Garret,
Although I am not using Leopard, and Troubleshooting Help Viewer, by Dr. Smoke is current for all OS X versions except Leopard, if it was my problem I would experiment with "Reset Help Viewer." Since my reply is pure speculation, experiment at your own risk.
Another user found this advice to be helpful.

Contextual Menu failed to Launch Quark

I have a G4 Silver and I booted up in system 10.3. I opened Classic and then tried to Open Quark and I got an error that read "Failed to Launch Quark Contextual Menu failed" so I can't start up my Quark 5.0. I tried to reload the program that didn't work. Is there something I can do, so I can start my program? Do I have to delete a contextual menu or preferences? PLEASE HELP!!!
G4 Silver Mac OS X (10.3.1)

Hi bda,
I had that problem many years ago ... I found this info for you. I believe it is based on the Classic System Xtensions...
'Turn off all the (Classic)xtensions except the following :
(a) Contextual Menu extension (b) Open transport extension (c) Shared libraryManager PPC (d) Open Transport ASLM Module (e) Appletalk extension
Keep these xtensions on while starting classic and you should not get the error messag for the contextual menu.'
If this doesn't work I believe it may be a Quark Xtension error itself. Start upo Quark with Xtensions off (hold space bar while starting Quark), then deactive the Xtensions until it boots up properly. Don't forget to reactivate the other ones!

Hi
在你的xml文件中，image 属性设置错误，应该填写你所加的image的绝对路径
比如：
<Application>
<Menus>
<action type="add">
<Menu Checked="0" Enabled="0" FatherUID="43520" String="MyMenu1" Type="2" UniqueID="MyMenu1" Image="C:/MyPic.bmp">

</action>
</Menus>
</Menu>

<Menus>
<action type="add">
<Menu Checked="0" Enabled="0" Position="0" FatherUID="MyMenu2" String="MySub21" Type="1" UniqueID="MySub21" />

Error "Building boot caches on boot helper partition failed" when installing Yosemite

I Have a MacBook Pro 8,3 17" and have been running OSX Maverick 10.9.5 quite happily. I finally decided to bite the bullet and update to OSX 10.10.1. I went through the App Store and clicked install on the Yosemite offered there.
THe install took about 55 mins and then right at the end it reported: Building boot caches on boot helper partition failed, install failed.
now i can't boot normally or restore from my time machine backup.
can anybody suggest a fix?

Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Nicola,
The Fact: It's all in the markup and the CSS.
The Problem: We are not privy to your markup and CSS and as such cannot help you.

Updating Adobe Community Help files fails every time after starting

Hello,
I e.g. go to «Support Center for Photoshop» from the menu within the app. Adobe Community Help starts up and tells me theres new content, do I want to download that. It seems to start the dl just fine, then reports an error «16882» (if I'm remembering it right).
Why? We have very fast very broadband internet connection and I use a 2011 27" iMac with max Gig RAM installed.
Any hints there would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks, Mister Kapoor,
that solved my problem!
All the best to you, sincerely,
Olaf Mueller

Seems Adobe Air or Cummunity help has gone cprrupt. Lets follow the below suggestions:
Step 1: Uninstall adobe air from Utilities and re-install the latest adobe AIR from "http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions/"
Step 2: Follow "http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/842/cpsid_84215.html" and re-install the Community Help Air application.
Step 3: Restart the machine and launch adobe Community Help and try to install all the updates and check if it works fine.
Hope that Helps!.

Adobe AE CS4 Help Menu nonfunctional

AE Help, Scripting Help, Expression Reference, Animation Presets, Keyboard Shortcuts are all nonfunctional under the Help menu. Registration, Deactivation etc. are functional. This AE is with CS4 Premium Production on Windows Vista. This has been a problem since initial installation. It remained a problem on reinstallation a year and a half later. Is there a file that did not load from the disk that I should be aware of? I was hoping for updates to correct this but that has not happened.

I resolved the problem in CS4 by uninstalling and reinstalling AE. Evidently when I installed it from disk it didn't all install. The AE I have is part of a suite (PP) and I probably reinstalled the whole thing. CS5 has the Help pdf popping up when I am searching from the application window. This is a hindrance. See my problem for December 2011.

SharePoint 2013 "Help Menu" not working (Sorry, the page you're looking for can't be found)

The Built in SharePoint 2013 Help Menu (?) on our Enterprise Farm for both the sites and Central
Admin does not work.
On Central Admin help the error comes back as: "Sorry, the page you're looking for can't be found".
The site collections Help menu gets the error :
"Unfortunately, help seems to be broken...
There aren't any help collections in the current language for the site you're using."
We have installed on all servers in the farm:
December 9, 2014 Cumulative Update for SharePoint Server 2013 package (build 15.0.4675.1000)
as well as the latest SharePoint update KB2768001 1/15/2013.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm interested in getting the local help to work while this is offline, I saw the following in an article, did you do this and it still does not work for you?
"However the help won’t show up in
SharePoint 2013 sites. You need to change the Help Collection item property SharePoint
Version to15 to
make it work."

I currently have iTunes version 7 and I need to upgrade to version 10. I am afraid of losing all my music if I just download 10 and when I use the "Check for updates" in the version 7 help menu, it tells me the server cannot be contacted.

I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod. When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server. I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library. What should I do to upgrade?

Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version.

When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version. Even the downloader for the update doesnt show that i need to update.Help plzz????

There is some kind of error. The new version of iTunes is 11.1, which although is not available via updates, it can be downloaded from the Apple website here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
After updating iTunes to the newest version you should be able to update your iOS
EDIT: I just did that and it works

Unable to open Information Map from planning web Help menu

Unable to open Information Map from planning web Help menu
The error is :
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

Hi,
It should be accessing :- http://<planning server>:8300/HyperionPlanning/help/en/hp_information_map/hp_information_map.html
Can you access that address on the machine hosting planning?
The file structure on the web server depending on which app server you use should be something like \Hyperion\deployments\Tomcat5\HyperionPlanning\webapps\HyperionPlanning\help\en\hp_information_map\hp_information_map.html
Cheers

You're not speaking to the right forum for your request. Help is a Suite-wide feature and here is the forum where the Help application is discussed, and where the proper Adobe people hang out:

Error when opening Find Examples under the Help menu

Today when I tried opening the Find Examples under the Help menu in LabVIEW 6.1, it would not open correctly. The Find Examples window appears and then an error window appears on top of it with the following description -
"Error 1 occurred at open or create file (function 1)."
Then ther is a list of possible reasons.
I have had this version of LabVIEW installed for over 6 months and had no problems until today. I tried running the installation program for LabVIEW and repairing LabVIEW but had no success.
What should I do next? Is there a file/s I can delete and then install manually?
Thanks,
Rodney

I've never actually heard of this error ocurring with the Examples Finder before. If it continues, I would probably just reinstall LabVIEW. That should clear up the problem.
