Help Won't Help

This is odd: In FCP, when I select Help, the Apple Help Viewer shows up empty and it says you have to have Java installed. Who doesn't have Java installed?
Happen to know a way to fix this?
Thanks.

and 'java' seems to work and is enabled in Safari and Firefox....I tested it on http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
still I keep getting the message in Final Cut Pro 7 that The help library needs Javascript and that help doesnot work properly and it does not?
Did you find a way to fix this already???
If so I would very much like to know...
I only installed Final Cut Pro and DVD part, not Motion and Garage Band...

  • What to do when my new iphone 5 came damaged, is missing pieces, and apple won't help me?!

    I am EXTREMELY disappointed in Apple. I preordered my iPhone 5 as soon as it was available, but did not receive it in the mail until yesterday. I excitedly met the UPS man and ran inside to open my new phone. Upon opening the package, I found that my iPhone is damaged (with dings on the front/side - and it is a white/silver iPhone, not black), the SIM card is missing, AND the earbud/mic/remote is missing!! I spent who knows how long on the phone with Apple customer service, only for them to tell me that my best option is to go to an Apple store and they'll switch it out for me. I was told that they will hold an iPhone identical to mine so that it is ready to go when I get there. I called both of the Apple stores "near" me (both an hour away) and neither would hold a phone for me - so I called later in the day when I was actually able to make it to a store, and they were out of stock. I was told that I should make an appointment with a Genius - but then I would have to come back later to get a phone. Like I said, this is not a short drive for me. I was then told that I could go online after 10 p.m. and reserve a phone, without paying, and pick it up in the store. It seems that is not the case. I have to either open a new account or see if my AT&T account is eligible for an upgrade - which it isn't, because I used that when I originally ordered the phone. So now I'm stuck with a damaged phone with missing pieces that I can't use, and I can't seem to get anybody to easily help me get a new one. I'm about to just call and ask for a full refund and go buy the Galaxy S3 that my parents love so much. They asked me what was so great about the iPhone 5... and I really don't know what to say.
    Now what do I do? I'm tired of dealing with people over the phone who won't help me. And the Apple Retail stores aren't being very helpful themselves. Ugh!!!

    Nice try! Take a hike.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

    How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

    Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
    Click File
    Scroll down to "show duplicates"
    A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
    Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
    Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
    Best of luck,

  • Adobe won't help fix problem caused by them

    I bought the software license of photoshop elements 13 and premiere elements 13 and needed help to install them which I received from Adobe. 
    However they won't open without an internet connection which is incorrect.  I live chatted this afternoon with someone from Adobe but because I had installed them onto a separate drive I have connected to my computer Adobe won't help me.
    Can anyone help me please?  I'm really upset about this and don't know what to do next.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    When you first use the editor, you must sign in to your Adobe Id and also supply the serial number that you got when you bought the products - there will be two, one for each product.
    If they are accepted then that has "activated" that copy - which means that you have registered that product/system with Adobe and that you can now start using it. You are allowed two active copies so you could have them on a desktop and a laptop.
    Once you have activated a copy, you should be able to work without an Internet connection unless you want to use a facility that requires it. Some of the special content have to be downloaded the first time that you use them.
    Once you have "activated" the product, do not sign out ar that will de-activate it and you will not be able to use it until you activate it again.
    The activation is Adobe's way of ensuring that people buy legitimate copies of the software.
    Hope that clarifies things
    Brian

  • When loading the program, the loading, circular icon will not stop. It seems like it is trying to load and can't.  Since Adobe tech support won't help with version 13, I need your help.

    I just bought this and was trying to load it for the first time and the circular icon just keeps flashing like it is trying to load and can't.  Most elements come up but I am wondering why it is still flashing like it is trying to load.
    At times, the drop down menus will not stay up.  When I click on them, they flash and then disappear.
    This is not a blank message.

    Not the help you're looking for -- sorry -- but I'm fighting a battle with Adobe tech support, too.  They won't help me with an issue involving using the program, but their site seems to indicate that tech support is available for download, install, & setup.  Check page: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html and try calling them again.  Good luck!

    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Here is information on "partitioning" ...
    Use Disk Utility to partition a disk into sections, or "volumes," each of which works like a separate disk. You might want to partition a disk so that you can have different versions of the Mac OS, or organize your information in a logical manner.
    Partitioning a disk erases all the files on the disk. If you have any files on the disk you want to save, be sure to make a copy of them on another disk before you partition the disk.
    You cannot partition the disk that you started up from. If you want to partition the startup disk, you must restart your computer using your Mac OS X Install disc, as described below. Because partitioning will erase your hard drive, you should back up your hard disk before proceeding.
    To learn more about using Disk Utility, open Disk Utility, in the Applications/Utilities folder, and choose Help > Disk Utility Help.
    To partition your startup disk:
    Insert the Mac OS X Install disc and restart the computer.
    When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    When the Installer appears, choose Utilities > Disk Utility.
    Select your disk from the list, and click Partition.
    Select how you want to partition the disk and any options you want, then click the Partition button at the bottom of the window.
    Quit Disk Utility.
    When the Installer opens again, you can install Mac OS X on one of the partitions.
    If you want to use another disk as the start-up disk, choose Utilities > Startup Disk and choose it.
    Also, Disk Utility can tell you exactly how much available drive space you have. Launch DU, in the panel on the left select MacintoshHD. (Don't select the drive manufacture name above it).. now, look at the botom right side of that window where it says; Capacity - Available.
    Another quick way to check available hard drive space is to open any Finder window, look at the bottom of the window, it will have the information there.
    And, click a clean spot on your Desktop, you'll see Finder in the Menu. Then click View/Show View Options. When the pane opens, click "Show Item Info".
    Now look over at your Hard Drive icon, under it will be that information all the time. Easy way to keep an eye on it.

  • Need speaker repair.... Creative won't help at all.

    Yeah so I have a gigaworks s700 and the center channel connector on the subwoofer is wiggly. I think it just needs soldered back on but there is no easy way to get to it without taking a whole lot of stuff apart and ripping glued pieces apart. So I'm not inclined to go digging through it when it still functions as a 4.1 system just fine. After multiple emails to creatives "Customer Support" I am still stuck. Aparently they like to tell us that the product is at the end of its service life and they totally turn their back to it which is the total opposite of customer support.
    So creative won't help and I am leaning towards never buying Creative again.. which pains me to say it. If I have to put up with this lack of support with any more of their products I will scream.
    So anyways.... if ANYBODY has an 800 number of creatives that has PEOPLE I can talk to that are preferably english speaking with minimal accents and does not charge me 2.99 to see if my cables are plugged in right, I would be grateful. Also, I am willing to PAY to have this woofer repaired by a professional if Creative has such a thing. Any info from anyone is grately appreciated. Thanks!
    Unhappy customer

    Dude, get out your screwdriver, pliers and the soldering iron.
    Even if you're not handy at all, you still got a much better chance of fixing the thing than waiting for official support.
    Good luck, mate.

    You need to restart the iMac and hold down the Command and R keys immediately.
    You will then have the utilities drop down and you choose Terminal
    When Terminal opens, type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Return.
    When the Reset Password window opens, select the user for which you want to change the password.
    Enter the new password twice, and then click Save.
    Accept the next dialog window,
    And then Apply
    When finished click the apple at the left side of the menu bar, and the Restart.

  • The headphone jack malfunction Creative won't help me w

    I have a Zen Micro 6GB with a headphone jack on life support. I've tried contacting Creative for the location of a repair depot, but since it's paid for and the warranty's finished they've quit responding. I guess I'm on my own now, and it may not be a "Creative" solution that replaces the Zen. Supposing every company abandoned their customer after the warranty ran out. Wouldn't YOU try another brand Their website offered NO "creative" solutions, or direction to where you could get an otherwise good product once they had your money and had a replacement model to sell you. Well, I'm now looking at home repair, because unless I cough up for a long distance call to someone who may or may not have a repair solution for me, this puppy goes into the drawer with the other dead battery-operated devices, the electronic graveyard. Bye, Creative.

    Jonz,?I also am a newbie and I joined to look for people with your Zen Micro headset problem, so I could pass on the help I got. When you read below, you will know why Creative won't help you--Too much to admit!!!. The below web site provides guidance on how to probably fix the problem you have. I just fixed my daughters after finding this fix. When you open up your Zen, you won't believe how cheap the soldering is on both the Headset and the USB connection points. It appears to be generic the 6GB Micro. So, its not IF your Headset won't work, its just WHEN. These are not electrical connections, but rather connections that keep both Headset and USB pieces from moving on the circuit bd. There are 8 total. On my daughter's Zen, one of the four on the Headset module was just sort of laying on top of its mounting point, letting the Headset connector move a lot on the board, as if no solder was installed at all. The other 7 looked they were just glued down--waiting to come loose. Two things not mentioned in the fix.
    . When you take the metal casing out of the plastic cover, you may encounter two small cotter pins (not mentioned in the article). Instead of finding where they came from, I just reassembled the unit without them. No problem. 2. One of the Heaadset solder points (for me the one that was completely loose) is mid-on-the-board in between the?Headset and USB?connectors.
    The soldering iron adaptor I had would not?reach the point without melting all the Headset plastic and?possibly frying the Headset connection beyond repair. Had to buy a Radio Shack circuit board soldering iron?for about $8 with a narrow shaft and?long tapered point to reach the point. Fix went perfectly. Good luck.

  • LabView help won't open

    I have been trying to open the search LabView help and the help won't open.  A window appears but then it won't load.  I haven't done anything different to my computer, this just started happening suddenly.  The whole program then usually crashes when I try to close the help after a while. 
    Any ideas?
    Message Edited by flyer88 on 01-28-2009 03:29 PM

    Does this happen no matter when you try to open LabVIEW help? Even if you click the LabVIEW Help button on the Getting Started page?
    Does Context Help (Help >> Show Context Help) still work?
    What version of LabVIEW are you using?
    Also, can you open LabVIEW Help or any other help file externally? LabVIEW Help can be found in Program Files >> National Instruments >> LabVIEW x.x

    "From CAD" is very generic language. What CAD program? What file format?
    The problem of faceted and segmented curves is pandemic among common CAD export formats (DWG, DXF). Illustrator isn't doing that. To avoid it, the source program will have to be able to export in a format that translates curves to splines which programs like Illustrator can read as Bezier curves. The source program's ability to do that depends on the program, and on the knowledge of its user. You may need a third-party translation program.
    Garbage in, garbage out.
    Re-working the problem (reconnecting the paths) is particularly problematic in Illustrator because Illustrator still has no decent ability to join multiple paths at once--something all its mainstream competitors have had for many years. There are third-party add-ons for that; their effectiveness varies and their usefullness depends on the specific drawings in question.
