"help"-Menu is missing

I don't know if this is because of the WOT-plugin ?
The menu-option "help" in the main-bar is missing timewise - means
when I restart the computer then "help" is back again. But after a while
it is missing again.
Yesterday I had a virus under Linux - one single virus in an html-File.
Need to make a virus-check again now ...

Meanwhile I solved this problem.
There is no virus or else malware.
I simply removed the WOT-plugin, and there is "help"-menu
visible again.
For what is WOT-plugin useful ?
'denouncing' or 'squealing' about other websites is not always useful.

The TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole bar)

the TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole tool bar, but only these two menus), I can see File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks but not Tools and Help (on Firefox 3.6 on windows XP)

I suspect that you installed an extension that hides some menu items thru user settable preferences.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Help menu "Search" box missing in Dreamweaver 5.5 for Mac

I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and am still finding my way around the new menus. The easiest way to find a menu command is usually to use the spotlight type "search" box that appears at the top of the help menu, which flags up exactly were each command is when you type in it's name. However, while the search box is there in my other CS5.5 applications it's missing from Dreamweaver. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
I have tried the obvious things like repairing permissions and rebooting and have also got Spotlight to re-index my hard disk in case the fault lay there, but it didn't help.
Just to clarify, here's how the help menu looks in Dreamweaver with the "search" box missing.
And here's how the "search" box appears in the other CS5.5 applications.

You need to use F1 key to launch this window:

Adobe Reader XI is missing "check Updates" link on Help menu

On several installations of Adobe Reader, we are missing the check updates link on the Help menu. any help or suggestions on how to fix that?

On Windows this item might be missing for Standard User on XP OS
Also, search Registry for the value named bUpdater in the Adobe Policy hive.
If this value is set to 0, try to delete the value, restart Reader and check the menu.

Help menu search box missing

In every program, I'm missing the useful little search box in the help menu. This is what it looks like:
I first noticed this when I started up Brackets. My uptime was 14 days, and some programs were still working (like Terminal), but every new one I opened had this problem. I tried doing killall SystemUIServer, which didn't work, and restarting didn't fix it either. Clicking the highlighted portion closes the "Help" menu and highlights it until another menu is accessed.
I miss this!
Anyone know what I could do to get it back?

Woo, maybe we can figure this out!
The QuickLook plugins I was talking about are QLColorCode, QLMarkdown, QLStephen, and Suspicious Package. I doubt any of them have much to do with it.
I've been using AppCleaner and Alfred forever, never Quicksilver. Alfred has one workflow that lets you search for actions in a program's menus, which boils down to an AppleScript. This provides most of the functionality of the help search bar, but causes some apps including Chrome and Photoshop to crash (for which accessing the Help menu makes them crash as well).
I also have Mountain Tweaks, and I think I had Onyx at some point. I prefer the one-line "defaults write..." commands, and I've done too many to keep track of, but they don't usually cause any damage... I think BetterTouchTool may be the culprit but I have no idea why this would persist after removal with AppCleaner unless it left some kext lying around, and I don't know too much about managing those.
The first thing I tried when I noticed this was to do "killall SystemUIServer" (which didn't work of course) and I still think an app interacting with SystemUIServer is causing this. If you don't use iStat Menus it's probably not responsible, although it does use menucracker to behave like a system menubar icon. I've had it for too long to really be suspicious.

Aperture 2.0 missing Help Menu items?

Does anyone else have Aperture Help missing from the Help Menu in the app? The only thing in my Help Menu is "Create Support Profile...". Seems odd that there wouldn't be access to online help for the app here.

Thanks! Yes, they're currently at the top of the date sorted list found at:
http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/.
Oddly enough they don't yet show up in the Aperture specific manual list:
http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/aperture/
I assume whoever uploaded the PDFs forgot to tag them fully. They'll be fixed as soon as someone spots the mistake .
I assume they'll be distributed with full version. It's a bit odd that Aperture 2.0 doesn't use Apple's Help too. Aperture 1.x had the same odd behavior, but I figured it would get fixed with 2.0. Help is much nicer than PDFs.

"Find Example..." missing from the help menu

Both the files:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\help\_exfinder.llb
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\Example Finder\1.0\BIN\NIExampleFinder.exe
are in place and functional but the menu item is missing off my v7.1.1 help menu.
Any idea how I can put it back?

I would agree with tst that a repair or uninstall and re-install would be the way to go. Before you do that though, just make sure that it isn't one of the hidden menu items by clicking on Help twice, or the double arrow at the bottom. I can't tell you how many times I go looking for Save All and have a moment of panic when I can't find it before I remember those seldom used menu items get hidden.
Hope this helps!

Update doesn't fix missing help menu?

Downloaded the latest update hoping to find that the missing help menu had been fixed, but I guess not. It seems that this should be available to those that downloaded Aperture 2 (.0.1 now) just like those who got the box. I have downloaded the help manual pdf, but don't know how to get it to show up in the program help menu.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Acrobat 8 hangs when selecting "Help" menu...

I'm running the latest (all updates as of today) version of Acrobat Pro and the latest version of OS X 10.5.4 on a Mac Pro. Whenever I move my mouse of the Help menu, Acrobat stall I first get the old wristwatch, then the beachball spins. It takes between at least 1-2 minutes before I can do anything again. If I don't just sit there and wait (ie. if I go to another program), I gotta do the whole thing over again.
Anyone else experience this?
I've tried permission repairs, deleted prefs, etc. etc.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

Same problem. Acrobat Pro 8.1 was rock solid under Tiger. Performed an Archive and Install upgrade to Leopard two months ago and have had the same performance issues on a dual 2.3 GHz G5 running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2. Click on the Help pull down menu and the OS9 wristwatch appears for 30-45 seconds then transforms into the spinning beachball before the menu displays. When it finally appears the "Activate" option is completely missing. When I select Document/Reduce File Size in a multi-page pdf I get the same OS9 wristwatch and what use to take a few seconds for a 5 or 6 page document can take up to a minute and the processor use in Activity Monitor pegs at +100%. Same result in Safe Boot startup mode or with extensions off or with new user with admin privileges. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and spent 2 entire days trying every combination imaginable and I'm convinced the application itself is hosed. Adobe Tech Support is out of suggestions. Illustrator CS3 works fine except I get the same OS9 wristwatch when it loads. Sad to hear you get the same OS9 wristwatch on a MacPro with no OS9 capability. Call me a fool but I'm upgrading to Acrobat 9 and hope this will resolve these issues.

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.

Organizer 'key concepts' in the help menu.

In my PSE11 help menu in the organizer, there is an option for 'key concepts'.
Here is the link:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/photoshopelements/articles/concept_index.html
As you can see, it is dated May 2009 for the Editor of PSE7

For the editor, absolutely. It's the same link in both Editor and Organizer.
Don't you think that the key concepts of the Organizer are missed by a lot of new users ?
They could be summarized in a single page before going into details with the full help files. There are so many misconceptions about the organizer !

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers... But is it possible to call transaction NOTIF_CREATE from an external system?
I have done something already so that those 3 fields will be automatically populated for a message sent from an external system.
I changed the screen and called FM BAPI_NOTIFICATION_CREATE(a remote enabled FM which is the one being used by transaction NOTIF_CREATE to create a message) inside FM BCOS_SEND_MSG.
I populated the category, subject and solution in the FM export parameters as well as the solution number in the sap data table. I put a destination also..
This FM calls another FM DNO_OW_CREATE_NOTIFICATION which is the one being used from the external system but do not cater the functionality to send the 3 fields that we need.
As you will notice, there are lots of standard objects that I've changed. =)
My problem now is that the system data sent is the same with the system data if you create the message using NOTIF_CREATE. Some system that were sent when a message is sent from an external system is missing but at least the sap system and client ID is sent. There is no external reference number also. But hopefullly, the users will accept it. Can't find any other solution to this.
Thanks,
Eric

Help menu help loads After Effects 7 Help

Using Golive CS2, when I go to the help menu and choose Golive Help, After Effects 7 help opens instead, with a dropdown menu that has no listing for Golive Help. I just reinstalled Golive CS2, the update, and a help update to no effect.

First, ensure you have the latest help centre and Golive Help package:
Help Centre 2.1:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3171
Help Package: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3091
*Ensure the file GoLive_8.0_en-us.zip is in the Adobe Help
Centre\AdobeHelpdata\Packages folder.*
There are a couple of Techdocs relating to the Help Centre:
331717 Help window doesn't appear when you start Adobe Help Center
(Windows XP, 2000)
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331717.html
319210 Adobe Help Center is missing content or returns the error, "The
topic you want to view applies to a CS2 product you have not installed."
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/319210.html
If those don't help:
1. Try deleting the Help Preference file by holding down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT
whilst starting Help.
2. Assuming ahc.exe is located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center,
delete the following folders
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData\Cache
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData\Database
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData\Preferences
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData\Search
The only folder under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData
you should have left is one called packages.
Run ahc.exe
What should happen is that your help centre database should get rebuilt
(you will see progress messages as it process each help package) and
everything should work.

The "File Edit View Window Help" menu disappears after opening Adobe Acrobat X Standard

After installing Adobe Acrobat X Standard, when I run the program the "File Edit View Window Help" menu is visible for only a brief second then disappears. I tried to press F11 or other functions keys to bring it back. I also installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro which I also have a license for and it would do the exact same thing. Reinstalling the programs did not seem to resolve the problem. Is there an issue inside the registry?

Thank you for your comment. However, F9 does not seem to work.
When I press F9, the menu bar appears but the words "File Edit View Window Help" are still missing.
When I press F9 again the menu bar will close.
This is a screen capture before the words "File Edit View Window Help" disappear. After only about a second they are gone.
