Help Menu Quits when using Internet Connect

When a new user account (with admin. priveleges) is opened, the help menu functions perfectly. After connecting to the Internet (modem) the help menu will not function. (can't get any response on any underlines or ? window). I've tried the file deletions suggested in theXlab document, checked the internet connection using "ping' report with no luck. No 3rd party add-ons. I can use any program and return to help and it is operable, until I connect to the internet.
To again get to help, I must create a new user account. This restores the help for tryouts until invoking internet connect. Using OSX 10.4.5. Any suggestions. Apple phone support is referring this to some tech support person.
Am I alone with this problem???

Hi John,
try this: FIXED: Help Viewer crashes or shows blank window

  • When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer.

    When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer.  It used to crash when I went to the iTunes store but, after installing the newest version of iTunes it crashes if there is an internet connection.  I can turn off my internet access and then run the software but, once I try the iTunes store again it crashes.  It does not give an error message as to why its doing this.  Just says it encountered a problem.  I cannot do anything with my iPad or iPod without this working.  Its extremely frustrating.
    I have also contacted Apple several times and they give me links to other's problems but, none have worked to fix this.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • Unable to use Internet Connect with my new wireless device

    I just received a new wireless device for my macbook pro. Normally I sign on with Internet Connect, but after setting up the new card, I can only connect using Verizon Manager, which usually doesn't give me good connection, I don't know why.
    I called the Verizon people, they mostly are clueless as to how I was able to sign on using both Internet Connect and Verizon Manager before with my old card. I remember there's a way of setting up manually if you want to use Internet Connect. Problem is, when I went to Systems Preferences and clicked on Network, a pop up prompt saying "your network setting have been changed by another application" keeps popping up even as I keep closing it. ***?!!! How can I get rid of it so I can change network setting manually?
    I just want the option of connecting with Internet Connect with my new wireless device. BTW, when I try connecting with it using my old setting National access/ Broadband access , I get a message saying "the selected communication device does not exist".

    "I just received a new wireless device"
    If not from Verizon, then who? Did it come w/a manual? If not, have you contacted the vendor/manufacturer for instructions?

  • FCE Quits when using timeline !

    Hi,
    Final Cut Express (2.0.3) always quits when using the timeline to scroll in the movie or inside clips. If I use "shift + arrows" it's ok, but I'd prefer being able of using the timeline to "travel" trough the film !
    I've tried thrashing preferences, reinstalling Quicktime : it doesn't work better.
    Can you help ?
    Thanks,
    Thomas.

    Hi
    I meant : I click on the timeline then move the mouse, and it quits.
    Like I said, I already tried to trash preferences...
    Thanks anyway...
    Once, I read a post indicating how to properly uninstall Quicktime to reinstall from the downloaded installer... But I can't find this post again.

  • Orange mail software problem when using distribution lists : some lists cannot be used for writing e-mails. The problem does not exist when using Internet Explo

    When writing an e-mail directly on the Orange e-mail service (not on Thunderbird) I am facing the following problem : some distribution lists cannot be used to complete the adressees. The same lists can be used without difficulty if I use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. The Orange hotline told me that probably my Firefox version was not updated. Unfortunately I checked that, and apparently the automatic updating works. I have also updated the plug ins, without any result.

    Please could you specify which webpage you mean ?
    The process with Orange is the following :
    - 1. click on "Write an e-mail" on the mail webpage
    - 2. click on "To" to reach the Contacts which opens a new window
    - 3. click on "Distribution lists"
    - 4. click on the selected list then click on "add". The list appears ot the box corresponding to the addresses .
    UNTIL THEN EVERYTHING WORKS WELL
    - 5. click on the button "validate", which closes the window previously opened and normally
    - 6. reloads the initial page with the complete list on the line "To". Instead of that I get the last e-mail address I previously used .
    Question : at which step of this process should I try your suggestions ? I tried when the initial page was reloaded with the wrong address, but it did not work to get back the rignt distribution list;
    Note that the whole process functions with OTHER Distribution lists. The only difference is that the problematic one has a larger number of adresses (62) however inferior to the maximum indicated by Orange (100).
    I also remind that there is no problem when using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.
    Thanks for your help !

  • Connecting Two PC using internet connection ??

    Hi,

    Thanks & Regards

    This is not what you have in mind, but it will work.
    Create a server that listens for connections from a client. Create a list of commands that can be issued by client to view information. Such a list in your case would be similar to the following:
    Open
    ChageDir
    Rename
    CreateDir
    DeleteDir
    ListDir
    Next, you need to implement the processes that will actually do the command on the remote computer. When the client issues the "ListDir" command, then adds a line (the path of the directory to list) the server should then do this (vary simple, but you get the idea):
    File file = new File(theDirectory);
    if (file.isDirectory()) {
    String[] list = file.list();
    socketOutputStream.println("Directory " + theDirectory);
    for (int i=0; i<list.length;i++) {
    socketOutputStream.println(list);
    socketOutputStream.flush();
    So, you should get the idea from this. For each command, have a method to handle the actual work on the server-side, then have the server send the resulting data back to the client for display. Notice how much this looks like DOS. It's the same idea - a command line interface (called a CLI).

  • How to remove Open/Save prompt when using Internet Explorer

    Acrobat XI Pro was deployed with custom MST that had When using Internet Explorer prompt for Open/Save.  Is there a hack that will disable this prompt without having to re-install Acrobat XI Pro?

    An engineer gave me a possible solution, but I don't have permission on my machine to test it. You can try the following:
    -- snip --
    This is because of not having necessary permissions to edit the registry. To obtain the permission, follow following steps:
    Right click on “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroPDF.FDF.1” and click permissions.
    On permissions dialog, click Advanced.
    In the new dialog, select Owner tab and make current user as owner.
    Click Apply and close the dialog.
    Close the permission dialog.
    Try editing the registry as suggested.

  • Safari quits when using librooksbas.dylib plug-in and Rapport switched on.  Any way I can keep Rapport on?

    Safari quits when using librooksbas.dylib plug-in and with Rapport switched on.  Hence can only use Safari with Rapport switched off.  Anyone know how to keep Rapport on and use Safari?

    While the usual advice is to remove Rapport, there have been a number of recent reports where both that & genieo adware were involved.
    See Adware Removal Guide : Genieo
    or
    You installed the "Genieo" search-hijacking rootkit.
    to find out which files to check for.
    Otherwise, if you really want to keep it, perhaps uninstall it completely, including any Safari extension; then reinstall.

  • Some RST are seen during TCP disconnection when using SSL connection

    Some RST are seen during TCP disconnection when using SSL connection
    It is expected that the disconnection sequence for a secure connection to be as follow:
    client ************************* server
    --- alert (warning, close notify) --->
    <--- alert (warning, close notify) ---
    in any order;
    and then:-
    --------------- FIN, ACK ------------>
    <----------- FIN, ACK ---------------
    ------------------ ACK ----------------->
    Instead of the sequence described above, the TCP connection for a secure connection is closed with an RST.
    For instance, Wireshark capture shows that an SSL+SASL TCP connection is closed in the following manner:
    client ************************** server
    --- alert (warning, close notify) ---->
    ---------------- FIN, ACK ------------>
    <--- alert (warning, close notify) ---
    <----------- FIN, ACK ---------------------
    ------------ RST -----------------> *(This RST message should be investigated, an ACK message was expected)*

    I agree it should be an ACK not an RST but it doesn't really matter. The connection is closed, and as neither the client nor the server has any pending data it is benign. Worth investigating in a later JRE.

  • When composing new email (gmail) tool bar showing fonts, colors, bold, italics, underline, etc. is missing? When using Internet Explorer the bar is there.

    When using Firefox, the tool bar above the "compose mail" window is missing. I cannot change fonts, use bold, italics, underline, change colors, align margins, etc. When using Internet Explorer the bar IS there but I prefer Firefox, as it is much faster. My operating system is Vista.

    Thanks Tony T1, I have tried using the Mail -> Format drop downs...
    ... and using the format toolbar...
    ... and in both cases, Bold and Italic is greyed out... (bit hard to see in the second screenshot, but it is, honest!)
    The mail message is def set as Rich Text, which you can see in the first screenshot, as the option to Make Plain Text is there...

  • Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.

    Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.

    Try restarting the iPhone.
    If that doesn't do it, one thing that others have done to fix this is manually set the date and time a few months out  (Settings > General > Date & Time), test it again, and then set it back to the correct time.
