No Help Available for any software

I found that I'm unable to connect to any Mac "Help" links for any of my mac software ie Safari,iTunes etc. It seemed to coincide with my purchasing the extended warranty & running the Cd Rom which came with it or maybe it's a coincidence. Either way ,any answers?

If you've tried the recommended stuff, then the only other thing I can suggest is to do an Archive and Install.
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Any Help Available for Minimizing the Shimmer on Photos?

    I've just finished a movie that's made up of photos imported from iphoto. I've burned a DVD and the still images look fantastic... but most of the photos with a Ken Burns move (even a short, gentle move)shimmer like crazy. It's especially bad if there's any kind of line pattern in the image (on buildings, etc). When there's water in the shot, I don't mind the shimmer. But, otherwise, it's very distracting, especially if the shimmer causes people's faces to distort.
    What's behind the problem and what can I do to fix it? I suppose I could remove the movement from all shots but I'd REALLY like not to have to do that. There's not enough time in the world for that... Please advise.

    While it is a little hard to tell from your description, what you are probably seeing is caused by the interlaced nature of a television. There are a variety of artifacts caused by the scanning and display processes in television, and even more introduced by the compressed nature of the broadcast signal when you are watching a broadcast. Further, many cheap televisions actually discard about 1/3 of the color signal they receive.
    My guess is that you are seeing flicker introduced by the interlacing. This is a well known problem, and why made for television productions do not use any strongly patterned clothing (watch your evening news, and look how they are dressed - the choices are affected by the technology). Another possiblity is dot crawl, but I am not sure how you would be seeing that.
    This is not something Apple can fix. You can fix it by using images that do not contain sharp transitions between light and dark. That is, soften, not sharpen the images.

  • My ipod touchs location services has stopped working. I just installed a new modem to my pc could that be the problem and how to fix ? ive already reset the ipod to new status and no help. thank for any help

    my ipod touch has lost location services after i installed a new modem to my pc . it is turned on in the settings and i have even reset the ipod to new status. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Nothing you can do except wait until Apple adds the router to their database of routers and their location. If you or someone nearby does not have an iPhone it can take a while. There is no way to tell Apple to add a router to their database.

  • I purchased Creative Suite 5.5 two years ago and never installed it.  Can I now load this on either a new Mac or PC?  Will there be updates available for this software?

    I purchased an upgrade version of  Creative Suite 5.5 two years ago, but never installed it on my PC.  I plan to purchase either a new Mac or PC soon.  Will I be able to load this upgrade 5.5 on my new computer and get existing updates?

    You will have to install it on the same type of platform for which you originally purchased it... Windows or Mac... suites are platform specific, and CS5.5 is not eligible for a platform swap.  Whatever updates exist for CS5.5 will be available to you, but it is not likely that there will be more produced.

  • Can I add a production manager to the team? No need for any software licenses, just access to check files on the Cloud.

    I need to add people to my team to supervise and make sure files are ready. I don't think I should buy a full license for this purpose since they are only going to be viewing files. Consider that all production members have 100 GB of space, this person needs to be able to access the full 100 GB as well.
    Thanks!

  • Unable to install ANY software- help!

    I'm not sure when this started, but I am not able to install ANY software anymore. My system met the requirements for any software I've tried to install recently- any ideas why it's not working?
    I go through the installing sequence... choose the drive, enter my password, accept the terms etc etc (maybe it's not in that order) and the progress bar reaches the end and I receive a message along the lines of "an error occured during installation please try again"

    Try this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) 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.
    Oh, and it would help if you could be specific about what software you cannot install.

  • OCM exam environment software not available for download

    Hi all,
    As per the oracle 11g master certification mentioned in the certification portal, the exam will be conducted in the following environment
    3. 10.2.0.5 grid control with 11.1.0.6 as repository database.
    However 10.2.0.5/11.1.0.x grid control verison is not available for download. Kindly guide me how i can prepare my test environment for exam preparation.

    I have finally received some additional information on this topic. Here is a message from our exam developers:
    To prepare for the OCM exam, candidates should focus on mastering the tasks for each Skillset. Software can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) to build a practice environment. Use the latest software available from OTN; it is not necessary to build a practice environment on the exact OS and database software versions used in the OCM exam. Later releases of Oracle server support nearly all features and functions of earlier ones; for any software version, relevant parameter values, naming differences and obsolete features may be found in the product documentation, which is available from OTN.

  • When will siri be available for iphone 4 ???

    I Just Wanted To Ask That Will Siri Be Available For Iphone 4 In The Near Future ???

    This has been asked and answered here many times already, but again, Apple has made no indications that Siri will ever be available for any existing device other than the iPhone 4S. We'll all just have to wait and see.
