Help Viewer not coming up.

"Mac help" will not hold. It blinks on for a short moment and disappears. (This may have started happening after I downloaded an update of Adobe. Adobe seems to have taken over my computer, and I am not sure what that is all about. And am not sure it has anything connection to the problem.)
From researching on this site I get the idea that the problem could be corrected it I moved to a higher 10 level (I'm at 10.2), but I did that once before and found out my speech recognition program was not compatible, so have come back to the 10.2. The "Help viewer" has worked fine for four years.
Any suggestions?

Hi sammyg!
Yes if your speech recognition app is not compatible there's not much that can be done about upgrading. Your help should work on Jaguar. It might be time to repair permissions or do a verify/repair disk. If Help Viewer is not working for any app then it must be something with it. Try posting in Mac OS X v10.3 Panther & earlier as you will probably get more assistance there for your problem.

  • Help viewer not working

    When I type in a help topic nothing happens. Also, when I go to the home page it nothing happens when I click the links. This is really annoying becuase I want to ask a question and I can't get the help viewer to work.

    See my "Troubleshooting Help Viewer" FAQ for comprehensive advice on fixing problems with Help Viewer.
    In particular, the specific sections therein may prove helpful:
    - If Help Viewer links do not work, see the "Help Viewer links do not work" section of the FAQ.
    - If Help Viewer displays a blank window, see the "Help Viewer displays a blank window" section of the FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • Help Viewer not doing anything....

    Whenever I type a search topic into my "Mac Help" the Help Viewer keeps spinning and spinning for hours and hours and nothing shows up. I am getting no help topics. What could possibly be the problem with my Help Viewer? Why can it not find anything? Any help will be appreciated!

    Aw shucks
    Have a look at <http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html>
    I can't remember if that site explains the reasons, but I know that in a lot of cases the fix I gave is the cure. I used to see the Help Viewer problem frequently with OS 10.3 but rarely, if at all, with 10.4.

  • Ipod help viewer not available

    An apple expert had me trash all of my iTunes files while trying to help with an iPod Touch problem and then reinstall iTunes 9.1. Now I cannot access iPod help viewer. Also I no longer see a credit I have in iTunes which used to show when I opened iTunes.

    There are no apps for the iPod classic at all. Apps are only for the iPod Touch or the iPhone.

  • Help Viewer not working in OSX Mountain Lion!

    The selected topic is currently unavailable
    Make sure you’re connected to the Internet. For help connecting, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Network, and click “Assist me.”
    If you’re connected to the Internet, and the content still doesn’t appear, try again later.

    Sorry for the somewhat terse reply from others to this question, not exactly the way to welcome new Mac users to this forum methinks! The way the forum works changed some time ago and I have to say that although I have used this forum on and off almost since its inception the current iteration is far from intuitive. When you start typing your question, possible previously answered similar questions start appearing below your typing if any of those match your query just click on the thread and it will take you there, hitting enter will post your question, whereas on most forums that would simply initiate a search for answers to your question. I'm sure there is a guide to using the forum, but really it should be more intuitive. Anyway welcome to the world of Macs!!

    Are you in a ERP system or in a industry solution?
    is it a standard material type like ROH and FERT, or a customized own material type?
    I have rarely been im OMT3, which I usally need to do when adding own subscreens with Z.fields.
    You are talking about standard SAP fields, so the screen sequence should not really be the place to check.
    I think it is pure customizing of field selection.
    What is your material type?, what is its industry, what is the transaction you use for maintenance?

    Hi Sri,
    it looks that your HANA instance has been created before we enabled the web-based development workbench. Some privileges are missing, we can't migration those existing instances.
    Nevertheless you can ignore the error above. You can see all the content inside your instance "smstest1".
    If you want to get rid of the cosmetic issue. You might delete this instance and create a new one.

  • Help viewer does not work after update to 10.4.4

    Since updating to 10.4.4 my Help viewer does not work, and all of the troubleshooting fixes suggested in other threads have not had any success in resolving this. I've noted that when I go to Users>Library>Documentation>Help there is no mac.help file - can someone tell me if that means that I've lost the file altogether and need to reinstall it? I get to the first screen of the viewer, but the links from there don't work. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

    Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

  • HT5429 direction is not coming in IOS 6 in india. can someone help me for the same?

    direction is not coming in IOS 6 in india. can someone help me for the same? i'm using iphone 4

    Hi Civilclerk1,
    In order to achieve your requirement, we can try to use the following expression to instead the last_name column and first_name field:
    last_name: =iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,Fields! last_name.Value,nothing)
    first_name: =iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,Fields! first_name.Value,nothing)
    Besides, if we don’t want see the blank row in the tablix, we can add a filter as below in the tablix:
    Expression:=iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,1,0)
    Operator:=
    Value:=1
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

  • Search help (PREM) for personal no. is not coming in ALV grid table control

    hi experts,
    Search help (PREM) for personal no. is not coming in ALV grid table control.
    i have assigned the srch help (prem) to my 'ZFIEXP_PROJALLOC' table for the emp_id.
    but in output it is now showing the help.
    ls_fcat-fieldname = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      ls_fcat-ref_table = 'ZFIEXP_PROJALLOC'.
      ls_fcat-ref_field = 'EMP_ID'.
      ls_fcat-outputlen = '10'.
      ls_fcat-key = 'X'.
      ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
      ls_fcat-coltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      ls_fcat-seltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      append ls_fcat to pt_fieldcat.
      clear ls_fcat.
    Then i tried to solve it using the PA0002 . ie.,
    ls_fcat-fieldname = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      ls_fcat-ref_table = 'PA0002'.
      ls_fcat-ref_field = 'PERNR'.
      ls_fcat-outputlen = '10'.
      ls_fcat-key = 'X'.
      ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
      ls_fcat-coltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      ls_fcat-seltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      append ls_fcat to pt_fieldcat.
      clear ls_fcat.
    with this it is showing the help in employee code, but, when i click on an empl number, it is not added to my table control and allowing me to add the number by typing them.
    plz help me.
    thanks.

    Hi 
    In the layout give layout-sel_mode  = 'A'.  and
    pass  'A'    to  i_save  exporting parameter to method  set_table_for_first_display.
    The same thing if you are working with function module
    reuse_alv_grid_display.
    Reward points for useful answer.
