Missing help file in Dreamweaver

The program installed OK, and the help file was present.  Now I get the message that it is not available,
How do I re-install the help file?

This issue is usually seen if you are trying to launch the help offline and the pdf is not downloaded.
To help troubleshoot this issue, do the following steps:
1. Check if the Adobe Help Manager is installed (on Windows, go to \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Help).
2. Click Adobe Help.exe.
The Adobe Help Manager should launch showing the local content available for download. If there is new content available for download, the download status appears as “Pending Download”. Select the CS6 Reference PDF that you want to download and click the Update button.
Once you’ve downloaded the PDF to your computer, you can select Yes for Display Local Help Content Only in the General Settings panel of the Adobe Help Manager. When you select Help from your product menu, the downloaded PDF is displayed.

  • Missing help files

    I have just bought a new iMac and installed Leopard. However I am having a lot of problems trying to use any of the help tools in Finder. Searches do not bring back any results, and sometimes the window remains blank. Today it displayed the main Mac Help screen, with "What's New in Leopard?" etc., but none of the links work. When I click a link I get an error message saying "Alert Page cannot be found". I guess this could be due to a corrupted install or Help index file, but I have no idea how to fix this. Any suggestions? Many thanks

    In case anyone else searches this forum for "Missing Help Files" here's my experience:
    I'm too chicken to delete files even though I've a good back up, so I renamed each with "old" inserted in the file names which macjack cited above. There are four files he mentioned. "Deleting" the ~/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui folder didn't produce any visible. I still got the "Alert" message from Mac Help.
    I then went to the set of four ~/Home/Library/Preferences/ files he specified. I found there was no com.apple.helpui.plist file there to delete! Then I "deleted" the remaining three he specified and restarted. Worked like a charm. Mac Help looks to be running as intended.
    Thanks, macjack.

  • Cannot uninstall after error missing help file.

    After an error that the help file is missing, I tried to uninstall the program so I could reinstall it.  It will not uninstall and I cannot reinstall it using the original CD.

    I got it fixed finally by doing your manual uninstall.  Had to remove several components in the registry before it would finally reinstall.  Thanks for getting back to me.

  • Help Files Crash Dreamweaver every time...!

    I have looked for a solution to this online but drawn a blank
    so far.
    No matter what I'm doing in Dreamweaver, the moment I try to
    access any of the Help files via the drop down menu (or press F1
    for that matter) the program hangs for five seconds or so before
    crashing to desktop.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything once.
    Has anyone else heard of this before, and, more to the point,
    does anyone have a solution?
    Thank you in advance.

    That usually means that it's not finding the location of the
    browser you
    have designated as the system default browser.

  • Missing flash files with Dreamweaver CS3

    my uploaded site (which works fine when I preview before
    uploading) 'ignores' all flash animations once uploaded... the
    flash files are on the servers... is there a script I am missing? I
    usually use a separate FTP program for synching... the root and
    server folders are identical (so it seems)... help! Otherwise, the
    site is the way it should be.

    I'm having the exact same problem here:
    http://www.stjohnsgeorgetown.org/
    There's supposed to be a flash file at the top of the page, which
    isn't showing up. I tried changing the URL to an absolute path and
    it doesn't work. HELP!

  • Missing exported files in Dreamweaver

    Now here is something strange.
    When I export a file from Fiereworks or Flash to a site, it
    does not appear
    in the 'Files' tab of Dreamweaver. It's not on the tabs or on
    the 'Explorer'
    call up from Dreamweaver.
    If I call up Windows Explorer it is there, as it should be!
    If I export it to the Desktop and then import it via DW,
    Dreamwever asks me
    to bring it into my site... bingo it's there, visible for all
    to see!
    If I use Windows Explorer and drag it into Dreamweavers' tabs
    it magically
    appears.
    Very odd, not quite 'round trip' but another 'workaround the
    trip'.
    Anyone else had this problem?

    You are exporting to the exact same Local Site Folder?
    What version of dw?
    Have you somehow turned of "refresh local site files list"
    for some reason?
    Look in the local info section of this site definition.

  • How do I get missing help files back into XP Media Center?

    Quite some time ago my "help" information in Media Center dissappeared.  I have restore points, but often go for long periods of time withOUT using Media Center.  I cannot find an information about repairing or re-installing Media Center.  I have an HP Media Center PC m7470n runing XP SP3, with Windows XP Media Center Edition2005 v. 5.1.2715.3011, Update Rollup 2.  If I click help it does nothing.  Sometimes I can watch TV & sometimes not.  Today all channels are just static, if I go to TV tuner setup, the program locks up, then I have to go to Task Manager in order to exit MC.  NO RECOVERY CD'S came with my PC.  I had created recovery CD's a long time ago, but when I access PC Tools & Help to recover software, Media Center is not listed there.  Also in add/remove, there is no "repair" choice for Media Center.  I am NOT interested in doing a COMPLETE Restore.   Also if I click "Guide Terms of Service" or "Data Provider Credits" nothing appears.  Please help.

    Have you tried disconnecting the cable from the PC, restart the PC, and then reconnect and try to setup the TV signal again? I'm thinking it's freezing because the MC is not recognizing the signal, like it knows something is there but it can't figure it out. It also could be you had some sort of energy surge or static buildup. I know this sounds unlikely. But electronics can act weird when they have too much static or some other kind of interference.
    It is odd that two of your systems would have the cable signal go out at the same time, but you may be write that it's unrelated....but if it is related, maybe having the cable guy fix one will fix both

  • Menu Extras - missing help files

    I have tried to use menu meters BUT I get a message saying "Menu Extra Could Not Load... for instructions on enabling third-party menu extras please see the documentation".
    However there is NOTHING to refer to on either the DVD, Apple help pages or the Menu extra website..
    I'm now at a loss any suggestions as this seems to have fallen from the sight of apple.

    If you're referring to MenuMeters tools then the vendor website indicates that you need to wait for update for Snow Leopard compatibility.

  • CS5 - Local Help Files missing

    While I was without internet recently, I was unable to browse local help files for Photoshop and Flash Catalyst in my new copy of Creative Suite 5
    - Design premium.
    I wa prompted to set preferences to browse offline help, and that did not working. Poking around in the actual folders showed me there were missing help files!
    Also, the help files I did have all had the word "DRAF" in red at the top! Pretty poor quality control!
    Where can I get the updated help files?

    i too have the same problem for my cs5 master collection.
    there are no help files
    the error says to reinstall the whole software.
    i tried reinstalling but the help files are still not there

  • Missing Images in swf file in dreamweaver

    Hello,
    I was hoping someone could help me. I made a image slide show
    in Flash (CS3) and wanted to put in in Dreamweaver (CS3). I
    published the file in flash and went over to dreamweaver and did
    the insert - media - flash command and added the .swf
    When I test the movie, the buttons and the frame shows up but
    not the images. Any ideas on why? When I test the html file, it
    works fine. When I test the movie its self, it works fine too. Its
    only when it is in the Dreamweaver file do the images disappear.
    1. I have the required AC_RunActiveContent.js. file with my
    swf.
    2. I tried copying the code from the html file that was
    generated by my swf, but when I test the file in dreamweaver, an
    error comes up saying that i need the AC_RunActiveContent.js.
    3. I have flash files on the site that work just fine, it is
    just this one that is being stupid. I published it as flash version
    7, 8 and 9. Nothing works.
    Thanks for your help in advance!

  • Need help importing files into Dreamweaver CS5.5

    Greetings,
    Currently I have website that is hosted on GoDaddy.com http://www.4thdist.org/home.php  . This site was created by another person that is not available to help with my problem. I am attempting to modify or edit this website using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and having difficulties loading the files into Dreamweaver.
    First, using Filezilla I downloaded all the files and folders to my PC. At this point, I am stuck and cannot figure out how to upload or open the files and really need some advice. I read the Adobe help section on "importing" and it describes a .ste file. I searched the download folder and cannot find any file (*.ste)
    I am hoping to salvage the site and not have to reinvent the wheel and start over. Any advice would be extrmely helpful........Gary

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Your comments raised some new questions. Let me update all on where I am. First, I am able to connect to GoDaddy server via the the local and remote views in the bottom right corner of DW. I see the file folder structure on GoDaddy. I can also see the file structure on my local hardrive that I copied using filezilla. Although, using the server connection I notice that I can download the files using this connection now. Should I delete what I did via filezilla and start over using the romote server connection? One more problem. I have content for two (2) websites on the remote server. http://www.vfwstatepoolleague.org/ This is in addition to the listed in my original post. Although, it appears the other website content is in a seperate folder. I assume that I will need to separtate this content somehow. At least link to it when I begin to start to create a .ste file for each site.
    I started to read the article "Creating your first website"in your post and should be very helpful. I did run into a little road block.
    I created (2) site names and linked to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Although, I do not have: "check_cs5" folder on my local or remote folder. What does that mean? Should I create one?

  • HELP! ERROR MESSAGE: Missing PDFMaker Files

    Hello-
    My Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 has been running perfectly fine for over a year now. However, today I went to create a pdf. and I received the following error message:
    Missing PDFMaker Files
    Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?
    So I said yes, and then restarted my computer. That didn't fix it.
    I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Professional and re-installed it. That didn't fix it.
    I really have no idea what to do. It's extremely frustrating because I have CS2 and the phone support people said they couldn't help me because I don't have the newer version. I'm looking for any sort of solution to this problem because it makes this program virtually useless.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
