Lost All Adobe Software Help

When I opened Photoshop CS2 today and tried to access Help, I received the error message: The operation could not be completed. I have closed and reopened Photoshop, even shut down and restarted the computer. I also tried using help in Adobe Bridge and Adobe InDesign. Same error message for those programs, too.
Is there some way to reload all the help without having to uninstall and reinstall all my Adobe programs?
I have Adobe CS2 Suite. I also have Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. I have not checked the Help for those programs yet.
Thanks,
Lana

I finally got Photoshop Help to work. Even though I uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe CS2, there was no Help available on any of my programs. Finally, I uninstalled just Adobe Help Center 2.1. Then, reinstalled from online. Okay, that installed the Help Center, but no Help documents for any of my Adobe programs. I don't know why these documents did not install with the original CDs.
So now, I have downloaded Photoshop Help and it works. I guess I'll have to try and find the Help documents for All the CS2 programs.
Any other guidance out there. This is a mess.

    Is all Adobe software for rent only now?
    I don't care for this philosophy, I'd rather pay the high price and terminate our relationship at that point, other than for updates.

    Yes, all NEW versions are rent only

  • My hard drive failed, lost all my software for CS6. How can I get it back?

    Last year I purchsed CS6 in the form of CDs from the University of California Polytechnic in San Luis Obispo.
    I installed them on my MacBook Pro.
    I transferred colleges to the University of Wisconsin Stout.
    Last week my hard drive corrupted and I lost all my Creative Suite software.
    I doubt that I have my product code or CDs anymore (just lost in the travel).
    Is there a way I that I can be given a download from Adobe to get my software back?
    I've already paid for it once, and even with my student discount it was not cheap!
    Thanks.

  • HT4623 Recently updated my iphone 5 with IOS7 and lost all my photos - Help!?

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help? I updated my Iphone 5 with this IOS7 update a few days ago and seem to have lost all my photos.  I tried a 'Restore' and then 'Back up from restore' in itunes but the phone kept going round in circles.  It kept asking me [on the iphone] to select either 'Set up as new phone' or 'Restore from icloud' or 'Restore from itunes back up.'  I chose 'Restore from backup' every time and just as I thought it had finished, it asked me to do the whole process over again.  This happened several times.  In the end I chose to 'Set up as new iphone' and then I was able to do a restore but the photo's never appeared.  I did get all my Apps, Music and Contacts back on the phone. 
    I spoke with Apple today and they seem to think I didn't do a backup before updating to IOS7.  Normally my itunes automatically does a sync and a back up when I connect the phone and I will get a warning message to prompt me if not. I've searched for the photo's in my Pictures folder on my lap top but they are not there. I don't use icloud [don't quite understand it but I'm getting there!] and the Apple advisor checked my Apple account and couldn't find any of the photos there.  I've even tried to download a program to scan my phone for lost items but there's still no photos showing up.
    Have I lost these photos for good or is there any way of getting them back?
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jane     

    Just to add to my enquiry above...
    I have downloaded a couple of these programmes which say they can help scan for missing photos.  One of the programs scanned my itunes and found photos from a back up this August.  I could see quite a few photos on there [the ones that I'm missing] but these programs only let you down load 2 files [photos] unless you register with them i.e I will have to pay. 
    So why isnt this back up for August showing up in the list 'restore from back up'  when I'm connected to my itunes?? 
    Its so frustrating knowing that the majority of the photos I'm missing are actually still there somewhere.  Why do i have to pay another provider to get them back??

  • Update ALL adobe software with RUM

    I've created an internal AUSST server and I'm using RUM to update the Adobe software on the clients machines.
    After running RUM all the Adobe software seems to be fully updated but when I on InDesign and Folio Builder it tells me there is an update avalible.
    Is it possible to include the DPS Tools within AUSST and RUM?
    Thanks.

    Iam not so used to RUM yet, but it worked fine for me with AUSST 2.0.
    Are the updates available and downloaded at your server?

  • IOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts, help!

    iOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts. I tried synching from sim and turning contacts off in iCloud, and advance synching on itunes, but still nothing. Help!

    Hi Bob,
    I had the same problem while updating my wife's 3GS and after panicking for a few mins I googled it and it seems that a lot of people ran into the same issue.
    Now then, IF you backed up your phone prior to doingthe update then you could try any one of the solutions on this page
    http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2011/10/ios-5-upgrade-lost-my-contacts/
    Solution #5 worked for me but I have to add somehting that they won;t tell you.
    When doing the resotre it will ask you if you want to do a back up
    **********DON'T DO IT***********
    Just run the restore and make sue that any questions Itunes asks you during the restore process you answer with the sole purpose of getting your contacts back.
    Good luck!!!!
    Solution #5 – Restore Your iPhone
    This fix submitted by Chris (thanks!) in the comments, and seems to work for a few people:
    Plug iPhone into Computer
    Launch iTunes
    After it’s done syncing, right click on iPhone (under devices in the left) and click on “Restore from Backup”
    Choose one (it may not be the most recent, some folks have bad backups just before the upgrade)
    Let the iPhone restore completely
    DO NOT CONNECT TO iCLOUD

  • HT1386 ive lost all my contacts, help me

    ive lost all my contacts after updating to 5.1, then i restored and now ive lost everything

    Check for locally created backups on your PC using the free version of the iPhone Backup Extractor software. Then just retrieve your data and import it back to your iPhone. Cheers!

  • Cancelled mavericks download - lost all HP software

    Greetings,
    I have a desktop mac that's a few years old and running OSX 10.6.8. Since Mavericks can supposedly be downloaded for free even if you're running 10.6.8, I tried. And I repeatedly tried and each time hours would go by with no change in the status bar. The last time, I got fed up and I just cancelled the download. That was last week. But this post is about my HP HP4480 all-in-one printer.
    My scanner won't scan from the machine (old problem, never solved), so today when I wanted to scan something, I opened up the systems preferences window. I was able to scan four documents. Later on today, I tried to scan a document and the application froze after previewing the document. It sat there with the little "working" icon spinning endlessly. I tried quitting the application and the systems preferences window for the printer/scanner closed and the application's menu bar disappeared, but the scan window stayed open with the icon still spinning. That was about a half an hour ago and its still going.
    I searched for an answer online and discovered that everyone and their dog is having trouble with using their HPs to scan since the download. I didn't even *complete* the download and I'm having trouble. And many folks said that some of the necessary HP software was missing. Sure enough...ALL of my HP software is missing (I used both the search function and manually scanned the application and utilities folders). That's righ, all of my HP software is missing, except for the system preferences window...???? I don't know how the printer did *anything* in the last few days.
    So...I got rid of the Mavericks installer that was in the utilities folder and I tried to download HP drivers for this printer, but nothing's working. I shut down the printer (the machine) and still the scan window persists. I will now try shutting down the computer completely, but without software...???
    I hope that HP & Apple have figured something out in this department...I work from home. grrrrr.
    Thanks for any help offered.

    Update...when I turned on my computer this afternoon, the scan screen was still there and still stuck.

  • I lost all my photography - HELP

    I recently had my external hard drive with ALL my photographs stolen.  I can still "see" all the images in my Adobe Photoshop Elements (6.0) browser and am wondering if there is some way to, at minimum, have access to those thumbnails if not restore the images from them?  I'm absolutely devastated by this loss - years of work - and would appreciate any help.  Oh aside from having another source of backup.  I was in the process of doing just that when the external drive was stolen.   Thanks.

    No, there's no way to recover the images from the thumbnails.  The best you can do is to view a thumbnail at its largest size and do a screen capture.

  • Upgraded from FF3.6.3 to 3.6.17 lost all bookmarks. Help

    As soon as I upgraded to 3.6.17 almost all bookmarks were lost. I've searched intensively and played with "restore" etc and have had no success.
    If I go back to FF 2.0.0.20 Most of my bookmarks are there.
    If I go to IE8, I can import my bookmarks from FF.
    How do I get all the bookmarks back in 3.6.17 or is it a lost cause? I can't even get it to work with 3.6.3 anymore. Even with reinstallation. I've even installed 3.6.12 at this point and no avail.
    I'm on Windows XP.
    Thanks for any help.

    Okay, I may have found a solution for restoring my Personal Toolbar. I did the following steps.
    1) I imported into IE8 all of my bookmarks from FF 3.6.3, I did this to make sure that I could get the info out of my old FF 3.6.3 into IE8.
    2) In 3.6.3 under Help-> Trouble Shooting Information->Open Profiles I copied out the profile of me the current user to my desktop as a safety measure.
    3) Then I uninstalled 3.6.3 including all of the private data files, etc. In other words I deleted any data to do with FF 3.6.3, passwords, cookies, etc.
    4) Then I did a scratch install of FF 3.6.3 and imported my info from IE8
    5) Then I just went and looked around in FF 3.6.3 to see what files were in my profile.
    6) Then I went and rearranged my imported data.
    7) After moving the correct items to the Personal Toolbar, walla, they all showed up again just like before and even the BookMarks drop down had almost everything I needed.
    Goodluck everyone, hope this rambling helps a little.
    It was when I went from 3.6.3 to 3.6.17 (remember 3 is less than 17) that everything went haywire for me.
    I didn't want to go to Chrome since they don't have a way to make session only and permanent cookie choices. Learning curve was also pretty steep. But it does suck in all of the bookmark information effortlessly from FF.
    I only keep IE8 around since MicroSquish requires IE for updates.

  • Hard Drive problem - lost all my music help?

    Hey,
    I recently got a hard drive so i decided to move all my music from my laptop to it. This included iTunes and everything. Everything was working fine - I imported my music and it was playing etc. But, I decided to defragment my Hard drive and this seems to have included my music collection. When I go to the file to import instead of the iTunes icon there is the - "which file would you like to view it with" icon. Then, when I use the iTunes icon it doesn't work. The folder still is the 39GB size it was when my music was there. So that means it's still somewhere right? Does anyone know how I can restore my files again? I have over 10,000 songs that I have been collecting for over 6 years. And help at all would be greatfully appreciated. Thanks.

    Jarrod, Redcube is correct that it's store policy about downloading once & it's the user's responsibility to backup important files. Now, to give you a little hope, the store has been known to grant a one time re-download to folks with special circumstances. You will need to pick the appropriate link to e-mail the store, politely explain what has happened, & ask for a re-download. Keep in mind that if you are fortunate enough to be granted a re-download, to get your new library backed up because if something should happen, again, I'm afraid you will be out of luck. Also, keep in mind that the store is not required to grant you a re-download. Hope this helps.

  • I think I lost all my songs help!

    Tranfered my songs from my Ipod to my computer via X-Play. Since my songs and my Ipod were formated for a mac I had to reformat my Ipod to work with windows. In order to reformat it had to erase my library on the Ipod itself. My Itunes library list all the songs, snce I "thought" I transfered them saftly. Now I have no back up. Itunes lists all the file sizes and memory stating that they are there. I have thousands of deads tracks. Can't find them at all. Have been studying posts trying to cure it. Hope not all is lost.

    You Might be able to have the store grant you a one time re-download of your entire purchase history, it has been done before as mentioned in this blog entry:
    http://thecontent.wordpress.com/2006/05/24/itunes-lets-people-re-download-all-yo ur-music-once/
    "Itunes Music Store Says "In the event that a customers entire music library is lost, the iTunes Music Store does re-grant the purchases history. Please keep in mind that Apple does not offer protection against the loss of purchases, so this is a one-time exception.""
