Help Menu not accessable on workstation

I can not access the help files on my workstation.
System Message: "Help files were not found. Would you like to download?" OK selected and the system attempts to download but nothing happens.
I go online to Documentation and attempt to open the On Line Help 2007 A English the file will not open.
The Error Message is - Navigation to the webpage was canceled - Retype address.
I do see the Contents Folders but nothing will open.
I know it has to be something very simple possibly with Internet Options and possible security but I have not been able to locate the problem and fix it. Can you help?
I am running Internet Exployer 8 and Symantec Endpoint Protection. I am also running Windows Vista and if you click on the HTML file there is not an unblock button.Could one of these be the problem?
Thanks for your help.
Rebecca

Audition CS6 Help menu not working

I have downloaded Audition CS6. When I go to 'Help' i get error 10. Is there no help file with the trial?

Hi All,
I found this on the web and it works!
<http://forums.adobe.com/message/4417566#4417566> CS6 Help Menu Not Working
This does not apply to one application, but is a suite wide fix.
I had been running the CS6 Master Collection trial download version and the help menu, specifically the online "Help" and "Support Center" listed on the main help menu dropdowns of all applications within the suite, was not working, able to connect, or an error that the folder did not exist (apparently corrupted).
Once I just got the CS6 Master Collection (DVDs) I uninstalled the trials, then installed the hard copy version, with the normal reboot in between. The Help menus still did not work.
This is what I'm running. : Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
I called Adobe support and the following was my solution for both my desktop and netbook with this problem.
1.    Close all running Adobe applications.
2.    In the directory C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/ Delete the "Adobe Help" folder.
(C:Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Help/)
3.    Reboot
4.    Then go to Adobe.com/support/chc/   (this is the "community help center")
5.    Click under "Step 2" the "Install Now*" button.
6.    On one of the windows that open there is a Preferences drop down menu. Select the one that allows online help connection as well as local.
7.    Click "download" to begin the folder download. The downloaded folders are more than 1 GB for the CS6 Master Suite help files. Watch at the bottom left of the download window to see the small progress meter.
8.    Once done, reboot.
My CS6 Master Collection help menus throughout were fixed by completing the above.
Thanks Tom! ...at Adobe support for this fix procedure.
I hope this helps someone else out there.

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:

as well as the latest SharePoint update KB2768001 1/15/2013.

There are no pending upgrades on any SharePoint or SQL server, all other SharePoint components are working

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."

Help menu not working

Hi,
the help menu is not working and it will not remove the little box where you are suppose to turn off the message about it not working.
That means I have to boot out and start over in the middle of working, unable to save.
Is there a way to turn the help menu off, or make it work properly?

That doesn't sound like what I see when I try the Help facility.
What system are you running?
On a PC it just puts up a 404 type web browser error that indicates that the requested resource () is not available.
Seems a little unpolished, but I suppose it's accurate.

Help menu not functioning

After upgrading to Mavericks the help menu doesn't work. I can search, but when I click on a topic I get...nothing. This happens in Safari, iTunes, Finder etc.
No problems when I had OS X 10.8. I'm on a danish version of Mavericks and an iMac 2011.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Michael

The problem has been solved. It was corrupted Quicktime Preference files. I'm not sure of the exact mechanism that caused the 10.4.5 update to corrupt these files.
Here is the solution:
Remove the following two files from the Preferences Folder in the main user's Library:
com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
QuickTime Preferences
Logout and then log back in.
New versions of these files will be created by Quicktime upon launching Safari.

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

Indesign CS4 Help Menu not working Mac OSX 10.6.7

Hello.
The InDesign Help menu is a great thing. Use it every day.
I use it most to find commands that I cant remember the keystrokes to. I activate the menu and start typing "find font" or whatever.
The menu finds alternatives. So far so good. But when I want to choose one alternative, all that happens is the system error sound plays.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Cheers.
Mac Pro. OSX 10.6.7. InDesign CS4.

I have two self-signed certificates that are marked as "not trusted", both created at the same date, but I did not remember doing that !
They are named:
com.apple.kerberos.kdc
System Identity
com.apple.systemdefault
from keychain System, expired am Feb 11, 2011Shall I trust then ? Is that the reason for my lock problem ?
+*I just notice that after locking the Keychain app, my problem is solved !!*+

Online Help in Help Menu not displaying

When selecting iTunes Help under the Help menu, I am only getting a blank screen, never any content. Other Help menus in other apps are working correctly.

David - couldn't open your link: but deleting the helpviewer preferences file (com.apple.helpviewer.plist)from preferences folder in your 'username'library should fix the problem (also fixes problem with help menu in other ilife applications e.g. following installation of ilife'11).

"Photoshop help" from "help" menu not loading

Using Photoshop CS5. Select "Photoshop help...." from the help menu, starts to load "help," see an "I" icon in the doc (bouncing for a second), then closes immediately, help doesn't load. End result: New CS5 but now have no help! Thanks for any help anybody can supply.

You should be able to save the Help pdf once it’s loaded:
View Help PDF ( 40MB)

The "help" is not accessing any info on Safari, Excel, Messages, etc.

When I try to access the "help", no info appears. It will show issues but not any info. The screen goes blank on my any Apple Mini. IOS 10.8.4
How do I restore it?

Sometimes just closing and reopening the Help window will clear up the problem. If it doesn't, log out or restart the computer and try again. Otherwise, you may need to delete the Help cache.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpd
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test. Help pages will be slow to load at first.
If that doesn't work, the problem may be caused by network conditions. It may go away by itself, though I can't say how long you should wait.
   A persistent failure to load help data has been reported as an issue with satellite networks. Test on a different network, if possible. I've also seen at least one report that Photo Stream in iCloud can mysteriously interfere with Help. I'm not sure whether that's true, but try disabling Photo Stream, if applicable.*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Urgent help -can not access Documents (windows 7)

After some one renamed one profile and my documents (roaming profile and my documents redirected to network path too through group policy). Now , I can not open Documents. I got this message: "can't open this item It might have been
moved, renamed, or deleted. Do you want to remove this item?"
Thank you.

After some one renamed one profile and my documents (roaming profile and my documents redirected to network path too through group policy). Now , I can not open Documents.
Since you have a roaming profile, you must be connected to a Windows server. If so then you should discuss this problem with your network administrator.

Itunes help can not access the internet even when the PC is connected

When opening itunes help the error message is returned that says itunes help is unavailable because my PC has no internet connections, which is ironic since I am typing this! any help?

Thank you so so much! I would have never thought to move apps around on my iPad (truth be told the newsstand app is the most useless for me, I wish I could just delete it) and was super happy that iOS 7 allows you finally put that sucker in a file along with the rest of the junk apps I never use.
Solved he issue! I can upload videos to my vlc for iOS player once again!

Photoshop online help does not display

Hello,
I am having exactly the same problem reported last year by Alex with online help. It has not been answered so far.
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 French version under W7 64bits. I have tried with different browsers (IE, FF and Chrome).
I get error 404 when I click on Help from the Help menu (or hit F1). The address displayed in the browser is
http://community.adobe.com/chcservices/services/redirect?u=http://help.adobe.com&p=Photosh op_15.0&l=fr_FR&id=AH_HOME
independently from the browser.
I tried the same from a different laptop and encountered the same issue.
There is a separate menu item in the help menu to access help resources. It takes me to
http://community.adobe.com/chcservices/services/redirect?u=http://help.adobe.com&p=Photosh op_15.0&l=fr_FR&id=AH_RESOURCE…
This page does not exist.
Can you help please?

That is a very strange link to be returned for accessing help. You should be lead to Photoshop Help | Photoshop Help (or specifically for you: Aide de Photoshop | Aide de Photoshop), but perhaps there is an issue with the French version having the incorrect address internally. When Alex reported this (I have not seen that post), were they also using the French version?
