How to quit frozen "Help" in PSE 9 on MAC OS X Version 10.5.2?

I run PSE 9 (no updates) on my MAC OS X Version 10.5.2.
I was working with a photo and needed additional information for the photo I was editing, and consulted "Help" (upper right tool bar).
The Help screen opened but the search did not reveal the information Iwas looking for, and I tried to close out of Help.  I can not quit Help!  There is a bright blue square in my dock with a lower case i in white where it does not belong.
I am unable to shut down my computet because Help is active - and it seemingly wants to stay that way!
Can anyone direct me to a safe way to quit Help - or force quit Help? 
I am much less concerned about Elements than I am my MAC!
Thank you for your assistance.

Glad it worked. You'd probably be better off downloading help files as pdfs. Here's a link:

    It would appear that your system is somewhat mangled, and it is time for some general 'servicing'.
    Start here:
    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
    Background information here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452?viewlocale=en_US
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

    For a full description of how to resolve Disk, Permission and Cache Corruption, you should read this FAQ from the X Lab:

    Reboot your Mac and then perform a Safe Boot:

    Now try downloading and installing again.

  • How do I import pictures on PSE 8 for Mac? How to use bridge?

    Hi
    I have downloaded PSE 8 for Mac and I am quite disoriented. I used to use PSE for Windows and I am lost. How do I import the pics that are on my imac?
    I read somewhere on the net that I should use the bridge module but I cannot find how to use it. Could you explain step by step? Please help!
    Thanks a lot

    You don't exactly "import" photos to the mac version, because it doesn't store them or keep records of them. Download the photos to your computer however you want (I wouldn't use the adobe downloader for mac unless you have a specific reason to do so), then you can either open them from finder or point bridge to the folder they're in.
    If you use iphoto, you should PSE as your external editor and send your photos from there.
    Bridge is just a browser. It doesn't care what you do to your photos when not using it, so you don't see it throwing up its hands and shrieking that it can't find them the way organizer does if you move photos in explorer.

  • Help! PSE 6.0 (mac) won't open!!!

    PSE 6.0 (mac) had been working just fine until last night I went to open it, and it acted like it was going to open and then it stopped. A little box appeared, and at the top said "adobe photoshop elements" and then there was NO error message in the box. I've tried restarting my computer, shutting it down, but it still wouldn't work.
    Now, when I try to start it, I get this error message: "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit"
    What can I do??? I need this program fixed asap!

    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 settings
    opera preferences
    Repair permissions and try again. If it still crashes go to applications>PSE 6>plug-ins>import/export and delete the adobe TWAIN driver, but if you have an Epson scanner it may not work after doing this.

  • How do I install camera raw updates to the mac app store version of elements 10

    In the mac app store version of Elements 10 there is 'get updates' link on the help menu. And when I try to do it manually from a download I get a message telling me that 'this update no applicable'.

    Once again,  Apple only provides support for purchasing issues,not with using software purchased via the app store, any more than staples will give you tech support for a boxed version you buy from them:
    The Mac App Store handles the download, installation, licensing, and updating of all products purchased through it. If you encounter an issue with an Adobe product during one of these four processes, visit http://www.apple.com/support.
    For all other issues, including program errors and how to questions, visithttp://www.adobe.com/support.
    Apple only provides support for problems with updates released via the app store and adobe has NEVER bothered to issue updates anything offered through the app store, so you can't get any help from apple for this.
    It's more complicated to install ACR in the app store version. You have to do it manually. See this thread:

  • How to un-fill workspace background, PSE 8 for Mac

    I just bought v. 8 for Mac, and there is no checkbox in Prefs to get rid of the 'fill workspace background', its keeping me from using v. 8, as I cannot see my desktop.
    Here is a screenshot to show what is wrong,

    If you can help me get rid of this annoying thing, I will be very happy to use the new version,
    Thank you,
    Jane

    Hi Barbara,
    Thank you!   Weve been struggling with this, they sure fooled me by changing the way to do it.
    I would think that Fill Workspace would be better working than Application Frame, as it sure isnt a frame in my book.
    But you saved the day for us, as you always do!
    2 more interesting things, when I use this forum with Firefox 3.5.5 for Mac or Opera 10.10, when I click Post Message, I get an error message that there is no body to the message, but found that using Safari is the fix for that one.
    And Adobe forums would not recognize my old username, email, Adobe ID #, nor my password on this new Mac. I couldnt figure that one out, as it works fine on my old Mac, but this new one, whew, I had to re-sign up. But I am the old Jane from years ago from Cape Cod.
    And we have a new Yellow Lab, a girl named Lilly.
    Thank you again!
    I will post the answer on our classroom forum immediatly.

  • How do I open HELP with Photoshop Elements12?

    Hi, I haven't used PSE in awhile and recently bought PSE release 12 so I went through looked at the Users manual, view the Online videos and wanted to check on HELP and the dropdown menu Photoshop Elements HELP (PF1) but nothing happened. I did this is in all three modes (Quick, Guided and Expert) but "help" did not appear so my question is, how do I open HELP with PSE12?
    Thanks,

    P.S.- my objective (what I was looking for) were the step by step instructions on how to straighten a photo

    To automatically straighten the image and leave the canvas around the image, choose Image >> Rotate >> Straighten Image.
    The straightened image contains areas of blank background, but no pixels are clipped.
    To automatically straighten and crop the image, choose Image >> Rotate >> Straighten And Crop Image.
    The straightened image does not contain areas of blank background, but some pixels are clipped.
    If you have a photo with an horizon you can drag a line along it with the straighten tool.
    Click Help on the top menu bar for the on-line help files.

  • PSE 6 for Mac, how to install the new layer mask tool

    I just bought the new PSE 6 for Mac, whew what a change in the color of workspace.
    My classmates and I are wondering how to install the free layer mask tool that Sue Chastain has on her About site.
    Or perhaps first, has anyone used it and do you like it?
    Do you put it here?
    http://www.jcarter.net/mac-stuff/layermaskthing.jpg
    Havent been to this great forum for a while, been busy, I miss you all, and shall try to visit more often.
    I remember when I was a beginner at this, I learned so much here and you all were amazing help!
    Thanks,
    Jane

    Hi Barbara,
    Its this one,
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/p/layermasks.htm
    So I assumed afterwards that it wasn't for Mac. So I went ahead and installed the older action for my PSE 4.
    I was hoping it was platform agnostic, but when I looked at this, the difference between the 2 versions,
    http://www.jcarter.net/mac-stuff/previewfolder-missing.jpg
    Not knowing where the Previews folder was, threw me overboard.
    And I didn't read all the way down Sue's page, as my old brain got ahead of my eyes.
    So I really dont know what to do next with this, some of my classmates are wondering the same thing.
    Thank you,

  • Removal of Quit and Help link  from ESS Screen

    Hi ,
    How to Remove Quit and Help link ,which is appeared on the top of the page in all the ESS Iviews .?
    If we go for modifying int service files in SE80 ,say for example PZ28 ..there is no service file atall.
    How this serive is capturing the HTML template ?
    Regards,
    J

    Hello,
    I've done this previously.  You need to edit the templatelibrarybasis.html file that is on the ITS AGate instance.  It's on the AGate under c:\program files\sap\its\6.20\DEV\templates\system\dm\templatelibrarybasis.html.  Take out or comment out the help/edit references.
    This is modifying SAP code, so after each patch you will need to remodify the file.  Let me know if you have further questions.
    Thanks,
    Marty
