Help Viewer can't handle IDVD Help URL

I am seeing the following message when I try to access iDVD Help.
Help View does not know how to handle the seclected URL.
The selected URL is: /Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/iDVD Help/iDVD Help.html
I can open the file if I go to /Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/iDVD Help/iDVD Help.html and double clip on the file.
Has anyone else seen this?

Hi, Tony.
If you're running Mac OS X 10.4.3 as your profile indicates, update to Mac OS X 10.4.6. See the sections:
• "Help Viewer displays a blank window."
• "Help Viewer links do not work"
in my "Troubleshooting Help Viewer" FAQ. That should solve the problem so you don't have to disconnect your Ethernet cable to use Help Viewer.
Good luck!

When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
How do I figure out what is not syncing?

Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you. I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again. To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

Search in Help Viewer always returns "No matching help topics were found".

Hi!
I'm running 10.3.9 on 14" iBook G4.
Recently re-installed OSX from CD after a hard disk replacement. Help viewer was fine on the original / old installation of the same version number of OSX.
The CD installs a version earlier than 10.3.9. Possibly 10.3.4? Cannot recall... is this important?
After HDD replacement, went through all the updates fairly rapidly, and arrived at version 10.3.9. Excellent! Except one thing (there may be more, but I've only discovered this so far!)... searches in Help Viewer return the same message irrespective of what I search for. I type the search string (e.g. "dvd" ) in the search bubble in the Viewer window. The message is as follows:
[bouyancy aid with question mark logo] No matching help topics were found
I have tried the usual things, without success, of:
- Removing the Famous Four cache and preference files/dirs.
- Repairing permissions. This repaired a few 'permissions'.
- Rebooting.
I think the icon of the bouyancy aid is a comic irony, but very well suited to my situation. Anyone out there with any suggestions on how to fix, please?
RSJ

Excellent pointers, thanks!
I haven't quite got it working, yet, but have got it to a point that is better than nothing.
Very peculiar -- discovered that, after trying many of the troubleshooting ideas without success, the solution was to hit the "back" icon on the viewer to get to the list of help topics satisfying my search criteria... cannot work out why. It would appear that, for some reason, the viewer is skipping the page with the help topics, and going directly to the "No topics found" page. Curious. I am wondering if one of the above activities (from your help pages) may have helped.
Anyway. Thanks very much for your help on this, and your *very* rapid responses.
Yours most impressed,
RSJ.

Urgent! Please help! Can iMovie and iDVD do this??

Hi,
I have used Final Cut, and DVD Studio, for a few years, so I know them well. I haven't used iMovie or iDVD.
I have a client on a tight budget, so I was going to suggest buying iLife, but I need to know if iMovie and iDVD can do this:
They want to create a template video timeline, it will have an intro video, with music. What they want to do is add a talking head video after the intro, with the music fading out, then in.
So the intro with full music will play, the talking head will fade-in, the music will fade down,about 20sec later, the music will fade back up and the voice will fade down, the video and music will continue for about 30sec, then all fades out.
This video will then go into iDVD, where there will be a custom screen with 1 button, to play the video... This will then get compressed and burned to DVD.
They want to have an iMovie template and iDVD template, so they can easily and quickly add new talking head clips.. Then burn a DVD.
I know I could set this up in FCP and DVDSP, no problem. But it's a little pricey for their budget.
Please help!
Thanks

Stewart,
"Could I create a custom THEME in iMovie and iDVD for them to use?"
I suppose if you know what you're doing you could. But iMovie and iDVD are not tools to build themes with.
You should play around with both apps. I think you'll quickly find a way to accomplish what you want.

Help. Can't submit my feed url

I submitted a feed as an rss.html and the feed was not updating so I removed it. I renamed the feed on my site and I'm trying to resend it for aprroval in the iTunes store, but I keep getting an error message saying the feed has already been submitted.
Can anyone help me out here?

I removed the feed via the remove feed in the report a concern link. It has been 3 months since I did this. Is that what you went by "officially request from Apple that the podcast be removed from iTunes."
If not, where would I go to do this?

Can't open .help document with OS X Help Viewer

My Canon scanner's on-screen documentation is only available as a .help file. Howerver, by default this file is opened with "DVD Studio Pro" on my Mac. Very strange. No other app is available under the .help file's "Get Info". I cannot pick OS X's Help Viewer. Since it's no app any more, it can't be selected or even found for that matter.
*So how do I get Help Viewer to open up this .help document?* Control-clicking also doesn't give me that option.

Thanks. Now that I know where to find it, I could change it in "get info". Problem solved.

Help View ( SE54)
Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.
When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.

Diff bt Help view and Maintanence view

hi gem's
i need the diff bt Help view and Maintanence view with example...............

Hi
The followings are different types of views:
- Database View (SE11)
Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set.
In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.

Difference between "Help View" and "Search Help"
- Projection View
Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
- Maintenance View ( SE54 )
Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.

How to create help view

hai,
how to create help view

Views
Importance/Use of Views
Data for an application object is often distributed on several database tables. Database systems therefore provide you with a way of defining application-specific views on the data contained in several tables. These are called views.
Data from several tables can be combined in a meaningful way using a view (join). You can also hide information that is of no interest to you (projection) or only display those data records that satisfy certain conditions (selection).
A view is a logical view on one or more tables, that is, a view is not actually physically stored, instead being derived from one or more other tables.
The data of a view can be displayed exactly like the data of a table in the extended table maintenance.
Join, Projection and Selection
CROSS PRODUCT
Given two tables TABA and TABB. Table TABA has 2 entries and table TABB has 4 entries
Each record of TABA is first combined with each record of TABB. If a join condition is not defined, the cross product of tables TABA and TABB is displayed with the view.
Join condition
A join condition describes how the records of the two tables are connected.
Inner Join and Outer Join
The data that can be selected with a view depends primarily on whether the view implements an inner join or an outer join.
With an inner join, you only get the records of the cross-product for which there is an entry in all tables used in the view.
With an outer join, records are also selected for which there is no entry in some of the tables used in the view. (ABAP allows left outer join.)
The data that can be selected with a view depends primarily on whether the view implements an inner join or an outer join.
Projection
Sometimes some of the fields of the tables involved in a view are not of interest. The set of fields used in the view can be defined explicitly (projection). In our example, Field 4 is of no interest and can be hidden.
We specify the fields which we need to show in our view by including them under the view flds tab when creating a view in the dictionary.
+Selection Conditions+
Selection conditions that are used as a filter can be defined for a view.
Specifying these conditions under the Selection conditions tab when creating a view in the dictionary would have an effect which is similar to specifying a where clause when writing a select query to restrict data.
View Types
Four different view types are supported. These differ in the way in which the view is implemented and in the methods permitted for accessing the view data .
Database views are implemented with an equivalent view on the database.
Projection views are used to hide fields of a table (only projection).
Help views can be used as selection method in Search help.
Maintenance views permit you to maintain the data distributed on several tables for one application object at one time.
Database Views
Database views should be created if want to select logically connected data from different tables simultaneously.
Database views implement an inner join.
Application programs can access the data of a database view using the database interface. (Just as we write select queries on database tables, we can write them for views as well.)
Includes in Database Views
An entire table can be included in a database view. In this case all the fields of the included table will become fields of the view (whereby you can explicitly exclude certain fields).
To include one of the tables in the view, enter character * in field View field, the name of the table to be included in field Table and character * again in field Field name on the View fields tab page of the maintenance screen of the view.
You can also exclude individual fields of an included table. If you do not want to include a field of the included table in the view, enter - in field View field, the name of the included table in field Table and the name of the field to be excluded in field Field name.
Inserts with Database Views
If a database view contains only one single table, data can be inserted in this table with the view .
You have the following options for the contents of the table fields not contained in the view:
If the field is defined on the database with NOT NULL as initial value, the field is filled with the corresponding initial value.
If the field is defined on the database as NOT NULL without initial value, an insert is not possible. This results in a database error.
If the field is not defined on the database as NOT NULL, there will be a NULL value in this field.
Projection Views
Projection views are used to hide fields of a table. This can minimize interfaces; for example when you access the database, you only read and write the field contents actually needed
For the above diagram, fields F3 and F4 are irrelevant, and therefore hidden from the projection view of the table.
Maintenance Views
A maintenance view permits you to maintain the data of an application object together.
The maintenance status determines which accesses to the data of the underlying tables are possible with the maintenance view.
Maintenance Status
The maintenance status of a view controls whether data records can also be changed or inserted in the tables contained in the view.
The maintenance status can be defined as follows:
Read only: Data can only be read through the view.
Read, change, delete, insert: Data of the tables contained in the view can be
changed, deleted, and inserted through the view.
Read and change: Existing view entries can be changed. However, records
cannot be deleted or inserted.
Read and change (time-dependent views): Only entries whose non-time
dependent part of the key is the same as that of existing entries may be
inserted.
Help Views
Help view is created if a view with outer join is needed as selection method of a search help.
Help views are used exclusively for search helps.
A conventional database view selects data from the database using an inner join.
For a help view however, data is selected using a left outer join.
Eg-> Suppose table SCARR (Airline master table) has AA American airlines
AB Air Berlin
AC- Air Canada as three entries.
Table SPFLI (Flight schedule) has entries corresponding only to airlines AA (American airlines) and AB (Air Berlin).
Now if a database view were to be used as a selection method for a search help for airlines, we would only get AA and AB as possible entries because the database view implements an inner join.If however, we were to use a help view as the selection method here, we would get AA,AB and AC as possible entries because a help view would implement a left outer join.
Restrictions for Maintenance and Help Views
There are some restrictions for selecting the secondary tables of a maintenance view or help view. The secondary tables have to be in an N:1 dependency to the primary table or directly preceding secondary table. This ensures that there is at most one dependent record in each of the secondary tables for a data record in the primary table.
Append Views
Append views are used for enhancements of database views of the SAP standard.
With an append view, fields of the base tables of the view can be included in the view without modifications. This is analogous to enhancing a table with an append structure.
An append view is assigned to exactly one database view. More than one append view can be created for a database view.
The append technique described can only be used for database views. With an append view, only new fields from the base tables contained in the view can be inserted in the view. You cannot insert new tables in the view or modify the join conditions or selection conditions of the view.

Help View creation

Hi Friends,
I am trying to create help view from se11.
It is taking me to a similar screen as in maintanace view. But after activating am not able to run it. can you please tel me the step by step procedure to create a help view and how it is used and how to exceute it.
Thanks
Ramya

Hi
->If the selection method for a search help is a database view, the input help displays only the records for which there are entries in all the tables involved in the view (inner join). The set of possible entries is sometimes described by the entries in a primary table for which additional optional information can be added from further secondary tables. This view on the data can be implemented with a help view. The same outer join logic is used for help views as for maintenance views.
->A help view is defined analogously to a maintenance view. Help views can only be used as selection methods in search helps. Since the R/3 System cannot pass the selection directly to the database using a help view, it must generate its own access routines. The database view should therefore be used as selection method in preference to the help view.
->Selection using a table and text table corresponds to selection using a virtual help view. For this reason, a virtual help view should not be created in this case. Exception: The table contains a field having the same name as a non-key field of the text table. If this field of the text table is needed in the search help, you have to create a help view on the two tables because the field in the search help cannot be accessed directly.
