Indesign CS4 Help Menu not working Mac OSX 10.6.7

Hello.
The InDesign Help menu is a great thing. Use it every day.
I use it most to find commands that I cant remember the keystrokes to. I activate the menu and start typing "find font" or whatever.
The menu finds alternatives. So far so good. But when I want to choose one alternative, all that happens is the system error sound plays.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Cheers.
Mac Pro. OSX 10.6.7. InDesign CS4.

I have two self-signed certificates that are marked as "not trusted", both created at the same date, but I did not remember doing that !
They are named:
com.apple.kerberos.kdc
System Identity
com.apple.systemdefault
from keychain System, expired am Feb 11, 2011Shall I trust then ? Is that the reason for my lock problem ?
+*I just notice that after locking the Keychain app, my problem is solved !!*+

Audition CS6 Help menu not working

I have downloaded Audition CS6. When I go to 'Help' i get error 10. Is there no help file with the trial?

Hi All,
I found this on the web and it works!
<http://forums.adobe.com/message/4417566#4417566> CS6 Help Menu Not Working
This does not apply to one application, but is a suite wide fix.
I had been running the CS6 Master Collection trial download version and the help menu, specifically the online "Help" and "Support Center" listed on the main help menu dropdowns of all applications within the suite, was not working, able to connect, or an error that the folder did not exist (apparently corrupted).
Once I just got the CS6 Master Collection (DVDs) I uninstalled the trials, then installed the hard copy version, with the normal reboot in between. The Help menus still did not work.
This is what I'm running. : Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
I called Adobe support and the following was my solution for both my desktop and netbook with this problem.
1.    Close all running Adobe applications.
2.    In the directory C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/ Delete the "Adobe Help" folder.
(C:Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Help/)
3.    Reboot
4.    Then go to Adobe.com/support/chc/   (this is the "community help center")
5.    Click under "Step 2" the "Install Now*" button.
6.    On one of the windows that open there is a Preferences drop down menu. Select the one that allows online help connection as well as local.
7.    Click "download" to begin the folder download. The downloaded folders are more than 1 GB for the CS6 Master Suite help files. Watch at the bottom left of the download window to see the small progress meter.
8.    Once done, reboot.
My CS6 Master Collection help menus throughout were fixed by completing the above.
Thanks Tom! ...at Adobe support for this fix procedure.
I hope this helps someone else out there.

Iweb + dreamweaver CS4 + dropdown menu not working on all pc's

I created a dropdown-menu on CS4 DW, pasted it in html doc. and is part of my iWeb created site.
Looks ok on apple: safari/firefox/iphone.. but on any pc does not matter which browser, it looks awfull, and the jumpmenu simply is not working.. what can I do to correct this?
Thanks.

By jumpmenu are you referring to the navbar at the top? It's well known that IE is not friendly with iWeb's navbar. The workaround for that is to create your own Text Based Navbar.
As far as the drop down menu, is it java based or html based? I'm not familiar with what does an does not work with IE as I don't do windows so can't help you anymore there.

Startup not working Mac OSX 10.6.4

Hey, im having trouble starting up my mac when i boot it up it gets to the Apple Logo and the whirly loading circle and then after a few minutes it just stops loading and freezes, but i can still heal the processor working.
About my Mac:
Imac about 2 years old, recently upgraded to 10.6.3 from leopard, and then downloaded the update to .4. My mac was recently fixed at an official apple store due to display issues as when i tried to boot up the screen wouldn't work, the mother board and almost all hardware was replaced at the store and when i got my mac back it was working fine.
When this issue started it was after me force shutting down my computer 3 times after the computer freezing after me opening the game World Of Warcraft, this game was working fine before i updated to .4
Side Notes:
I am able to boot into my winxp partition but the Nvidia geforce 8800 gs card doesn't seem to be working.
Things I've Tried:
Booting from disc - not working, gives me the kernal panic error
Safe mode boot - the bar gets around half way and stops, then the same thing happens as when i normally boot into osx
Fsck -fy - seems to do nothing except after 2 tries it says the "Ok"
resetting PRAM - not doing anything either
Not sure what else I should say. Any help appreciated, and ive already booked a appointment to visit the apple store with my mac in a few days.
Thanks!

I'm trying to embed sound in InDesign CS4, but its not working

I tried to use file, place sound and also with a interactive button, apply the sound, but when I browse for my mp3 file it just wont let me selected.
I open the mp3 file to make sure was not damage and it worked just fine.
If this feature of adding sound exist within InDesign CS4, why I can't use it?
Could come one help me with this? Thanks

Have you checked the Help files: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSC117AD88-69F6-4658-A1F1-12012B15B9D7.html
>QuickTime 6.0 or later is required to work with movies in InDesign. You can add QuickTime, AVI, MPEG, and SWF movies. However, QuickTime no longer offers full support of SWF files. You can also add WAV, AIF, and AU sound clips. InDesign supports only 8‑ or 16‑bit WAV files that are not compressed.
I don't see MP3 on the list of supported formats....

Keyboard and Trackpad Not Working; Mac OSX Unexpectedly Quit?

Hey everyone... I think I may need to stop by the Apple store to figure this one out, but I just wanted to make sure if there was anything I could do on my own first.
So basically, on my MacBook Pro that I got nearly two years ago (late September of 2006) for the past month and a half has had problems. In the beginning, the mouse and keyboard would freeze up and just not work. Restarting the comp did nothing. Some times were worse than others (once it was frozen for 1.5 hours). Then it stopped, every now and then having a few freezes (sometimes when the keyboard froze but the trackpad was still good), but two days ago I had my comp not hooked up to an adapter. When the battery got low, the comp froze. I went to bed and closed the laptop, and the next day it was still frozen. I unfroze it, but then it happened again (I'm pretty sure the same situation... almost no battery)... and it is still frozen, even after multiple restarts.
Also, during the time when freezes weren't as bad, sometimes the keyboard would get stuck on one key, usually the volume up button (very annoying)... then I was told to restart the comp. When I came back, I was told that Mac OS X had unexpectedly quit.
Sorry that was a lot to read, but any help is really appreciated! Thanks!
Not sure if this is also important, but I did spill some water on the keyboard a very long time ago (late December '06)... it wouldn't take this long for that to cause the problem, would it?

Does booting up in [Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455?viewlocale=en_US] help at all? This boot mode checks the disk on startup and disables non-apple start up items and certain kernel extensions.

Help menu not working

Hi,
the help menu is not working and it will not remove the little box where you are suppose to turn off the message about it not working.
That means I have to boot out and start over in the middle of working, unable to save.
Is there a way to turn the help menu off, or make it work properly?

That doesn't sound like what I see when I try the Help facility.
What system are you running?
On a PC it just puts up a 404 type web browser error that indicates that the requested resource () is not available.
Seems a little unpolished, but I suppose it's accurate.

I'm guessing either Pages and iWork were not properly installed and/or Snow Leopard is not properly installed. What version of Pages is installed? Are you sure you have iWork '09? You should have the iWork DVD, so the first thing to try is re-installing Pages. Should that not work then try reinstalling Snow Leopard.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Indesign CS4 6.0.6 and Mac OSX 10.6.8

Indesign simply refuses to open. Icon bounces in the dock and then boom Problem report.
Photoshop CS4 opens no problem.
Any fix around this?
I have CS5, but there is one plugin that I only have in CS4 that I use and need to access it.
Thanks.

Indesign simply refuses to open. Icon bounces in the dock and then boom Problem report.
Upload the contents of the crash report to pastebin.com and paste a link here and we can give oyu some insight.
Also, you can open Terminal.app and run InDesign from there and see if it produces any diagnostics on the command line.
Just paste in: "/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Adobe InDesign CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe InDesign CS4"
Note that you must include the quotes (which is unusual).

InDesign CS4 Help--Toolbar not showing, can't type or do anything.

So I downloaded the trial version of Indesign CS4 on my computer, and when I opened it there was no toolbar, and I basically cannot type anything on it etc. . .
I looked through some older posts on the forums and people suggested uninstalling it and then reinstalling. My only fear is that since this is a trial version I thought that after uninstalling the program it wouldn't let me reinstall the program since I already had my free trial.
Does anyone have any other suggest on how to fix this or know if uninstalling it will still let me use the trial version when I reinstall it.
Thank you very much!

This may sound stupid, but I couldn't find the TAB key?
The Tab key is on the upper left side if the keyboard. That's the key you use for indenting a line in Word, or aligning columns in a free-typed table, or switching fields in a spreadsheet or your browser.
Unfortunatley, that isn't likely to be the issue given the rest of your description. It sounds like you have a failed installation, and I wish I could tell you that you can try again, but I honestly don't know. For previous versions that was not possible without reformattinig the hard drive.
There were some issues of this type that popped up on some older hardware that didn't support certain instructions. Those probelms were fixed, I think, with the 6.0.2 or 6.0.3 patch. You could try downloading the update and see if it will run.
What OS are you using? Do you have a way, such as System Restore on Windows, to go back to before you installed the trial? If so that would be a possibility for trying to reinstall. make sure you disable any anti-virus or other security software before do a new installation, and though I haven't seen any problems personally installing CS4 with other stuff running, you might want to diable anything else that isn't strictly required for you system to operate. Lots of things, like the add-on browser toolbars adn instant messengers were know to interfere with CS3 installations, but I don't use that stuff on my systems so I have no experience one way or the other withthem in CS4.

CS4 Design Suite not working after OSX 10.7.5 upgrade

I recently upgraded my Mac OS to 10.7.5 from 10.7.4. I also upgraded Java from SE6 to 7. Now my cs4 design suite will not open. I click on the Illustrator alias but nothing happens. I get the Rainbow Pinwheel that spins for 2 seconds and then stops. This also happens when I try using Photoshop, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. I've also tried opening using the .app file in the applications folder, but the same thing happens.
A side note: I tried to revert back to Java 6 with no luck. and I do not have a back up of my OS to revert back to 10.7.4. Everything was working great prior to the upgrades.
Please Help

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!!

Color picker not working Mac Osx 10.9.3

In my Fireworks CS5 I can't use the color picker to find the colors code from images.
Pointing on every pixel I obtain only grayscale colors.
It's quite impossibile to work this way.
Any help?

It is most likely because Notification Center alters the menu bar and the dock itself. My facebook and my twitter button won't work properly either, but when i double-click the buttons it works. but i can't understand why your twitter button works once but won't work again.
