Help Viewer in Finder and iTunes not working properly

When I click on any of the links in the Finder help viewer, nothing happens; if I type something in the search box, a list of topics display but if I click the show button for any of them, nothing happens. Same in iTunes. Looks like my help is screwed up with Apple apps. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Yvan

Hi Danycom,
Try this... locate these files: com.apple.help.plist and com.apple.helpviewer.plist and com.apple.recentitems.plist and
There are located here:
/Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate those files and drag them to the Trash. Empty the Trash and reboot. This fix should also correct your iTunes Help Viewer also. If this doesn't do the job, post back and we'll dig deeper!

Itunes not working properly

Help! My Mouse pad is not working properly. The arrow cannot be controlled, it just keeps jumping all over the page. How can I stop this?

Help! My Mouse pad is not working properly. The arrow cannot be controlled, it just keeps jumping all over the page. How can I stop this?

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement. That is not necessarily true. Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is. They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

ITunes Not working Properly/Not Syncing on Network properly

Hello there,
For weeks and weeks now on my Computer iTunes will not see or recognize my iPhone 4S and my iPad 3. When I try to sync by opening iTunes on desktop and then wake up pho ad iPad it does not see it and will not show them in iTunes no matter what I do. I have reset network, forget network, renew lease on wifi network and shut down both and turned back on and nothing has worked!!! I have reported this many times as well in the past. It is like Apple themselves have changed the way iTunes suyncs with the phone and ipad when trying to sync to make updates on apps.I am at wits end!!! Since they did the update to 10.6.1 it has been a pain in the you know what to sync to update apps.I got to plug both in to computer for them to sync and update apps or update apps from the iphoor ipad itself. Please Apple or someone who knows what needs to be fixed please fix it it is very aggrevating it has been weeks like this and I would have thoughht that Apple would have gotten the hint when I have seen others complain about this as well. It is from what I see most of the time it is with Windows 7 computers that have this syncing connectivity issue but I do see it happen in Wndows Vista as well as I have both operating systems here with 2 iphones, 1 iphone 4s logged in to windows vista when updating apps and the other which is windows 7 and it has ipad 3 and iphone 4s attached to it to sync when updates to apps become available. I hope some can make sense of all this and help or get apple to fix the issue finally!!!!

well, it is easy. i just wish it to sync in a manner that i do not get frustrated with it. it just does not like to sync when i open up itunes on desktop to update apps when they have updates. i have got to revert to plugging in the phone and ipad for it to sync and update apps. if you read through the whole thing you would have found it out. all i am saying is that itunes 10.6.1 and ios 5.1 have bugs and issues that make it hard for a iphone and ipad user to sync and update apps. itunes is slow to open with windows 7 as well as i did not mention that before but i have mentioned it in my other forum posts.
summary:
itunes 10.6.1, is slow to open on windows 7,
syncing ipad and iphone does not update without plugging them in.
wifi sync is not working properly or as it should, it doesn't recognize phone and ipad unless plugged in.

ITunes not working properly with HP running Vista home premier

My Ipod touch works fine on my windows XP pro system but does not sync photos and podcasts from my other computer at home: new HP Multimedia system running Vista Home Premier. It goes through all the motions but will only add a few photos from a file and they are partially corrupt. Many times it won't add any selected photos. Same with podcasts, they won't sync to the ipod. Have tried various USB ports.

Filter and navigation not working properly

Hi Gurus,
I have two reports - report1(source) and report2(target) report.
In report1, it shows two columns - Market_ID, Amount_sold
In report2, it shows two columns - Market_ID, Reasons(where Market_ID is made prompted)
In report1, I have made the Value Interaction as 'Navigate' and the target as 'path of report2' in Column properties ->Column Format
But, when I click on Market_ID(report1), it is NOT showing the details of that particulat Market_ID(report2).
It is showing the details of whole Market_ID in report2. That means, the filter is not working properly.
Is there any method in which the report2 shows the details of particular Market_ID which is selected from report1(market_ID)?
Best Regards,
J

yes you can,
in your source add a master_name column and in that make the navigation.
in the master_id column go to column format and style options and check the Use Custom CSS style option and type,
display: none
now in your source the master_id column will get hidden. in your target make the master_id prompted.
now click on the master_name in your source, your target will get filtered by the corresponding msater_id
thanks,
Karthick

private String submitedCategoryItemID;
private boolean transientFlag;
public UIChooser()
    super();
    transientFlag=false;
public boolean isTransient()
    return transientFlag;
public Object saveState(FacesContext context)
   System.out.println("saveState");
    Object[] values = new Object[2];
    values[0] = super.saveState(context);
    values[1] = submitedCategoryItemID;
    return values;
public void restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state)
    System.out.println("restoreState");
    Object[] values = (Object[])state;
    super.restoreState(context, values[0]);
    this.submitedCategoryItemID = (String)values[1];
}saveState and restoreState not working.
Phrases "restoreState" and "saveState" aren't displayed and value of submitedCategoryItemID not restored. :/ What's happend?

"This cable is not certified and may not work properly..." Official Apple cable!

I am using an official Apple charging cable and keep getting the message "This cable is not certified and may not work reliably..." And this cable has worked until now! Restarting the phone works sometimes but only for a bit.
What's wrong here/

Thanks, but it didn't fix it. I've tried 3 different Apple cables and I get the same message with each. I'm guessing it's the port has become defective somehow although with all the other questions about the same issue, I wonder if it could be a software issue!
