Inspiration Browser not in Help menu - Elements 9 Mac

Mac OS 10.6.7.
Elements 9 has been installed/activated/registered and in slight use since November/10. Online update in January. No usage problems so far.
However...while exploring the program recently in Community Help to learn more, I came across the Inspiration Browser. It's supposed to be accessed via the Help drop-down menu, but it's not there. However, it's installed in what seems to be the appropriate folder (Applications/Adobe). When I launched it from there it opened, but an on-screen message said it should be launched from within the Edit workspace.
Chat support wasn't much help and suggested uninstall/reinstall, which would require resetting all my preferences, and I'm not sure IB is worth the effort. Chat gave me a tech 800 number. Before I go that route, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

PS: I don't think it's relevant, but just in case...Elements 8 is still installed on my setup..

Oh dear, how quickly unimportant things get complicated. The answer
to your question is no.
However, in my on-line search within the Adobe labyrinth for support
re my "issue" I began by signing in to my Adobe account, or whatever
it's called, and selecting my country (Canada). As I worked my way
through the support maze of questions to refine my query, it appears
that I was automatically transferred south of the border by the
support system. At no time was I informed that as a foreign national
I couldn't proceed. Curiously, if the IB is US-only, how was I able
to post without being flagged?
Anyway, let's not make a big deal out of no big deal. Are you able to
tell me if I have any on-line recourse within Adobe for addressing my
Elements 9 "issue"?

  • PSE 10 - Inspiration Browser for UK

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased Photoshop Elements for the first time, I am in the UK and have installed PSE 10 fine. I recently downloaded the Photoshop Inspiration Browser and that installed ok and created a shortcut on my Desktop. If I launch the Inspiration Browser from the Desktop link, I get a Warning advising it is best to open from within PSE. However I do not have a link to the Inspiration Browser in the Help menu.
    Can anyone help me getting this link into PSE 10?
    Cheers
    Tony

    Hi,
    Ok thanks for the info, I will look online.
    Cheers

  • Cannot update or access inspiration Browser after installing Photoshop 10

    I have followed the Inpiration browser update instruction on Photoshop elements welcome page. With error message when downloading Adobe Air.
    I uninstalled Adobe Air and Inspiration browser, then tried to download again and received the same error message. I also tried it with my firewall disabled. Same results.
    Currently neither Adobe Air or Inspiration browser installed.

    Hi
    Solution 1: Move required files to launch Inspiration Browser from the Welcome Screen.  
    If you use the Welcome Screen regularly to launch the Inspiration Browser, use this solution.
    This solution involves making an additional copy of an existing folder, PhotoshopdotcomInspirationBrowser, in a second location. The source folder is in the Program Files(x86)\Adobe. Place a copy of the file in the Program Files\Adobe folder.
    Navigate to the C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe folder (assuming that your operating system is installed on the C: drive).
    Highlight the PhotoshopdotcomInspirationBrowser folder, right-click, and choose the Copy command.
      Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Adobe folder. Right-click and choose the Paste command.
    Launch Adobe Premiere Elements 10, and use the Welcome Screen to open the Photoshop Inspiration Browser.
      Solution 2: Launch Inspiration Browser from within Adobe Premiere Elements 10 instead of the Welcome Screen.  
    Launching the Inspiration Browser from within the Elements application doesn't result in the same behavior as when launched from the Welcome Screen.
    From the Welcome Screen, click either Organize, New Project, or Open Project.
    Click the lightbulb icon (on the lower-right corner) to launch the Elements Inspiration Browser.
    (Alternative method, in Organizer only) From the pop-up menus along the top, choose Help > Elements Inspiration Browser.
    Hope It Helps
    Thanks

  • Insert Symbol, finding Pages Help Menu and Set Default Print Size

    I'm having a hard time doing the following:
    1. Inserting a vertical line that I used to find in Word by going to Insert > Symbol
    2. Preventing Pages from defaulting to #10 Letter (which I used recently) but seems to be the default size (but not the default Pulldown page type for some weird reason). I guess I'm just not sure how this is all working.
    3. Where do I go for the Program's Help Menu in Mac? I seem to go to the Help Pulldown at the end but when I type in a word I seem to get answers for Mac as a whole and not just for Pages, which is what I want.
    TIA.

    On French keyboards, we get it with option + shift + l
    It would be a good idea to enter the System's Preferences Pane entitled "Language and Text"
    Then trigger the newly installed menu item in the menu bar.

    Then launch Photoshop Elements Organizer
    On the menu bar click Help >> Elements Inspiration Browser

  • Elements 13 will not update from the help menu

    Hi, Just installed elements 13, updates does not work from the help menu, adobe application manager opens and the search for updates is continuous, just keeps searching.
    cheers
    Darryl

    Have you tried it on more than one date? Sometimes the site shuts down temporarily.
    Have you tried from both Premiere Elements and the Elements Organizer -- or even Photoshop Elements? It's all the same updates.
    Are you logged in with your Adobe ID?
    What operating system are you using?

  • Elements 9 inspiration browser update for Mac

    Can anyone help?

      OK sorry you have problems.

  • 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 am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements 5

    I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements number five.
    When I open the help menu, the dialogue box defaults to an unreadable display font. Is there any way to change that default font? Using the help menus to find a solution is not possible for I cannot read what it is displaying.

    For product, there is an option in preferences where we can set fonts. There are two options: One is application font and other is system font. I am talking about elements 8 which I have but not sure that will solve your problem which is help related.
    Hope Help in 5th version is html which opens in Browser? Please confirm.
