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.

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.
This does not apply to one application, but is a suite wide fix.

Drop Down Menu not functioning

I'm very VERY new to dreamweaver/fireworks but have been making small changes to multipul websites for a company. They have asked me to come up with a totally new design for their primary webpage and I'm having an issue with the drop-down menu.
I'm created the menu in fireworks using the hotspot tool and it "previews" just fine in both fireworks and dreamweaver. I went through the export process in fireworks and exported the hotspots/images and html code into my primary folder for the website. I pasted the html-code in the location that I wanted on the webpage.
When I upload the page and go to view it the drop-down-menu does not function properly. I have to add an <div> after my .jpg banner for the images of the dropdown to appear. Even then the pull-down-menu does not show up properly.
*Side note* the page also loads VERY SLOWLY now, not sure why. In an attempt to start over I access the "remote view" of the webpage through dreamweaver and deleted all but the "Admin" folder which it did not allow me to delete? Did I majorly mess something up here?
I'm also attachin and image that is a screenshot of what the menu/root folder looks like in dreamweaver

Firstly, the link to the imported stylesheet is wrong - it appears to be pointing to your hard drive: that needs to be fixed and if it relates to the menu, likely the reason why the menu isn't visible.
@import url("../../../../../../../../S|/All Users Documents/Graphics/Chris/Greater Michigan PMC/indexpulldown.css");
Are you working in a defined DW site? It's very important that you are - it's the way that DW keeps track of all the links and paths.
Define a site:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/140/tn_14028.html
Next: Those FWs exported dropdowns are atrocious, there was a reason the functionality was removed from the latest FWs and DW.   Even though a CSS version is available, it may be ok to use for protyping for certainly not for live production sites.
POP UP MENUS - why not to use them:

There are much better ways to build a dropdown menu, one of them is the Spry Menu available in CS3 and CS4. They too, can cause issues, but at least the links throughout your site are inside the html code, not in the javascript.
Spry Menus: - already included with CS4

As for this:
*Side note* the page also loads VERY SLOWLY
now, not sure why. In an attempt to start over I access the "remote
view" of the webpage through dreamweaver and deleted all but the
"Admin" folder which it did not allow me to delete? Did I majorly mess
something up here?
I'm not really sure what you mean and which folders you deleted from where ;-)

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 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.

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).

Apple menu not functioning.

hi, my drop down Apple menu is not opening (when shutting down i must use the manual button and not the menu). all other menus open and function perfectly. the only other strange item that i have going is the "new mail" icon is not showing up in the oval when sending email......
two strange things that i have not been able to resolve. thanks so much in advance for any help that anyone has to offer.
mike

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I would recommend you use the Accounts System Preferences to create a brand new user. Then log out (you can use shift-Apple-q to log out without the Apple menu) and log in as the new user. Does the Apple menu work for the new user? If so, then your user has a preference file or setting that's causing the problem. If not, then you have a system-wide or hardware issue. Let us know what you find out from this troubleshooting step and we'll try to help from there.

Need Curve 8330 Back-up Help - USB not functional

I have a Curve 8330 - O/S v4.5.0.186 (Platform 3.4.0.59). The USB connection is non-functional. (I have tried several USB cords and different desktops and know that USB port on my phone is where the malfunction is located.)  I have an urgent need to back-up my contacts and other info (my last back-up is 6 months old). My carrier suggested using Blackberry Protect, however, I keep getting "Notice: Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Blackberry App World." However, when I try to wirelessly update my phone it tells me "No Updates Available".
Any suggestions????? Thanks.
Solved!

No it doesn't .
And besides, nowhere in your earlier post do you say you can't use AppWorld, you said you couldn't download Protect because you are given a message that that appworld won't work on your device, which doesn't make sense to me since you were trying to download Protect.
Anyway, download it like I said. Just checked, you don't need AppWorld installed.

Presenter Menu Not Functioning

PowerPoint 2003 - Me and another team mate are having trouble
with the presenter menu. After we upgraded from Breeze to
Presenter, we could see the Presenter menu in PPT, but it doesn't
work. For example, if we click on a Presenter menu item, nothing
happens. We've tried uninstalling Presenter and reinstalling but
with no luck. Any help you could offer would be very much
appreciated.
Cathleen

We too are having the same problem. I just purchased several
copies of Presenter for our Instructional Designers. Our IS
department did the install, Adobe Presenter appears in the menu
bar, but non of the drop down menu items work - not even HELP. Our
IS department is looking into the issue, but even after a
re-install, the issue hasn't been fixed.
We are running PPT 2003 and XP SP2.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Displays Menu Not Functioning After Upgrade

Hey, i use another monitor with my macbook so i have the display drop down menu in the menu bar, but since upgrading to 10.5.3 the menu doesnt seem to work?
It still drops down but i can not change the options directly from it, so i have to go into settings/displays to change the resolution/mirroring ect ect?

Find the file /Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and move it to your desktop.
Then immediately log out and log in again.
Your menu bar will reset to defaults, and the problem will be fixed.
Good luck!
P.S. Welcome to Discussions!

Help Menu not accessable on workstation

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.
