No Help File or Online Help

After installing InDesign CS5 Standard (not an upgrade), when I click on the "Help" button of the toolbar and call for "InDesign Help" or "Online Help," I get nothing.
I have installed all updates, still nothing.
Do I need to do something else to be able to access the help files?

Is Adobe AIR installed?

  • Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Help TAB Photoshop Online Help - LINK IS BROKEN

    My Adobe Updater installed Photoshop CC 2014, and all seemed well, until I attempted to get online help via:
    Help TAB > Photoshop Online Help
    This LINK is apparently BROKEN!
    Here is the resulting error on Firefox (version 32.0):
    XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: jar:jar:file:///C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/kaeec5li.default/extensions/[email protected]!/chrome/speedtest.jar!/content/net
    Error.xhtml Line Number 369, Column 38:
    <h1 id="et_protocolNotFound">&protocolNotFound.title;</h1>
             -------------------------------------^
    I also attempted to open same link using Chrome, and IE browsers;  BOTH browsers we unable to navigate to the Adobe Help!
    Here is the supposed LINK URL (via Firefox):
    community.adobe.com/chcservices/services/redirect?u=http://help.adobe.com&p=Photoshop_15.0&l=en_US&id=AH_HOME
    ADDITIONAL NOTE:
    The exact same error is generated when attempting to get online support via:
    Help TAB > Photoshop Support Center
    Hopefully, someone from the Adobe Tech Community may shed some light on this MAJOR issue, as it precludes users from accessing Online Help and Support!

    Hello
    I am having exactly the same problem with the French version of Photoshop CC 2014. The only menu item working is "What's new?".
    Trying to access online help (F1) takes me to
    http://community.adobe.com/chcservices/services/redirect?u=http://help.adobe.com&p=Photosh op_15.0&l=fr_FR&id=AH_HOME
    Very similar to your page except for the language.
    This page does not load (error 404).
    I was on chat with Adobe support but they did not solve the problem.
    I tried to reinstall and also used 3 different browsers (IE - FF - CH).
    I have Photoshop installed on 2 different platforms (W7 and W8), same issue.
    Were you able to solve your problem?
    Pfondaneche, when you press F1, are you just in the main Photoshop window?
    When I press F1 I see it go through a quick redirection and within a small fraction of a second it ends up here:
    Photoshop Help | Photoshop Help
    The specific link you posted does not work for me either, so I'm assuming there's an Adobe server problem somewhere, or maybe a problem with that particular link.
    I've noticed Adobe has failed to update a number of its pages for the new Photoshop CC 2014.1 release.  For example, where is a new page that describes where Photoshop CC 2014.1 keeps its preference files?

  • AW 6.0.3  to AW 6.2.7 macros, custom buttons, dictionary, & online help files

    Hello,
    I have just "upgraded" from an iMac G3 "bondi" purchased ini December 2000 to an iMac PowerPC G4 "sunflower" that was used ca. 2002-2007. I have AppleWorks 6.0.2 on the G3 and AppleWorks 6.2.7 on the G4.
    I have migrated all of my documents over ... and so far everything is great. A couple of questions.
    Can I bring over two custom buttons: one to make bullets the other to number paragraphs that I created on the G3 iMac? If not, how do I recreate them? (I found an article that says you can't bring buttons from older versions of AW into AW6, but this is moving within iterations of AW6.
    I had set up function keys to change the font color of the selected text: F1-black, F2-blue, F3-red. I also inadvertantly set up the same actions for command-1, command-2, and command-3. Is there any way to bring this over? Can I recreate on the G4?
    Both were pretty straight-forward to set up, with macros, but I don't see any macro editor in AW 6.2.7.
    I haven't tried to move over my dictionary. Is that relaltively straightforward?
    Some of the "help" files are online. How can I access them?
    Can I run 6.0.3 and 6.2.7 on the G4? If yes, what's to know?
    I imaging I'm not the first person to pose these questions... .so I would appreciate any pointers to exisiting information.
    -Dottie

    Thank you, Roger.
    I successfully installed AW 6.0.3 in Applications (OS 9) on my G4 iMac (with other OS 9 applications). (Sorry for the confusion: my G3 iMac was running 6.0.3 not 6.0.2.)
    I was able to activate my macros.
    Wasn't able to figure out how to get my user buttons that went with two of my five macros, so I just made new buttons (for bullets and numbering as on the toolbar of the window I'm composing this in!).
    Had some trouble with the dictionary because not knowing what file extension to add to my User Dictionary. I successfully imported a text file I had exported from my G3 iMac and still ran into file recognition issues until I added .TXT and then the import worked perfectly. I tested it out on my big report. Success.
    Enough for one day. I did download AW 6.2.9 so as to upgrade the OS X version of AW (6.2.7) at a later time. I don't plan to use 6.2.7 anyway. It's been three weeks making this transition. Finally back to work.
    One question remains:  the "Help" for both 6.0.3 and 6.2.7 has some links to files accessible online. Does Apple still make those available?

  • Photoshop cs6-Only online help?

    Is the online help the only way to see the help files?
    No help application as in photoshop cs5?
    Will there be a pdf for viewing when no internet connection is available?
    Added: Also there does not appear to be a list of keyboard shortcuts in the photoshop cs6 online help.
    Message was edited by: R_Kelly

    I took a look.
    Here is what I did I use the above link Photoshop CS6 Quick Reference Guide. checked Keyboard shortcuts and click the Update button.
    After a short while the columns were updated. 
    I opened updated PC Photoshop CS6 use Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts and use the set pull-down menu and chose Photoshop Defaults to make sure Adobe default were set. 
    I the started to compare the shortcut listed in the Edit keyboard dialog to the ones listed in the quick guide.  When I reach row 3 Actual Pixels the Edit Keyboard dialog surprised me for it listed two shortcuts  "Ctrl+1" and "Alt+Ctrl+0".
    So I closed the dialog to try them. 
    First I use Ctrl+0 fit image on screen to enlarge as small image on screen in a floating window. It worked differently then in previous version of Photoshop. The image area was one pixel narrower and one pixel shorter the previous releases so the scroll bars were active where previous release they were inactive. So I dragged out the window to deactivate the scroll bars.
    Then I tried Ctrl+1 it did zoom to 100% but it to made the image area one pixel narrower then it should be and one pixel shorter then the image area should be so the scroll bars were active till I dragged out the floating window to inactivate the scroll bars and show  the whole image.
    I then tried ALT+Ctrl+0 the image was at 100% and remained 100% it resize the image are 1 pixel shorter then it should and one pixel narrower the it should be and the scroll bars were once again active. Previous versions of Photoshop resized floating windows correctly. 
    However both shortcuts listed in the Edit Keyboard Dialog did zoom to 100%.  The Quick Reference Guide listed No PC shortcuts for View Actual Pixels it only listed cmd+1 for the Mac so first two row look good  third row not good.
    Actual Pixels  Display the image at 100% View Menu view > actual pixels  More Help Cmd + 1

  • Help with "Help File"

    Hi all,
    I have an almost-complete application to which I'm adding a help file. I am using the a VI called "Online Help file" or some thing to that effect (I would check but this internet station isn't my work station so I don't have access here...). I have created an HTML based help file using "Windows HTML workshop." This file opens correctly on any XP or 2000 system I open it with. However, I created a VI to open the help file when the "Help" tag on the menu bar is activated and this seems to work on my LabView developement system, but not on other systems (after having installed the application). No errors are posted, the help file simply doesn't open. I'm beggining to think that I may be missing some additional installers that I didn't realize were necessary for this application. I currently install LV8.2RTE and the VISA Run-time 4.0. These are the only installers I have been including. Do I need other installers for the help file to work correctly (keeping in mind that this VI works flawlessly in the application on the developement system, but not on other PCs)? If not could someone shed some light on my problem? Thanks a bunch!
    Ryan
    PS: If needed I can try to post some pics.

    Hello,
    Ok ok... only 4 stars for that effort... let's see if we can do better  
    First, I see the same behavior upon closing the application I originally attached - the chm also closes
    Apparently what's happening is that when we use the online help control VI, the chm file is opening in the calling application's context, in this case the LabVIEW app/runtime engine instance.
    We can get around this by making a call which will open the chm file explicity in Windows - we can do this from LabVIEW with the command exec VI.
    I have attached the code this time as well - everything is zipped up (lvproj, vi, & exe).  You'll notice I have used a diagram disable structure so you can see both implementations - the previous one is disabled of course.
    I hope THIS is what you were looking for
    Best Regards,
    JLS
    PS - if you want your LabVIEW application to close by itself after it completes execution, you can use the Exit LabVIEW function at the end of the VI and rebuild the exe.

    Hi Sam
    Why do you want to download the SAP help Files?
    Do you want read them even when you are not online. If it is for the same purpose as i asked you then we have an exe file which installs all the SAP help file on your system and we can read the files offline too.

  • Elements 7 install issue, help file not found

    I'm at my wits' end with this thing.  In the Organize mode, clicking on the Photoshop Elements Help does nothing, and in the Edit mode, I get the following error message "The requested help topic could not be found.  Please reinstall Photoshop Elements to fix this problem."  I have un- and reinstalled many times, trying many variations -- installing from the desktop, in a simplified mode, as an administrator, and combinations thereof.  The same every time.  There does not appear to be a help file.  Please help me someone, I am feeling very, very frustrated.

  • How can I export oracle e-business suite online help?

    hi,dear expert
    how can I export oracle e-business suite online help?
    I want to view it when I works offline,please help me ,thank you!!

    I think Oracle Apps Help system is built in to Apps installation and you can’t easy enough export it. I have got a few things in mind:
    1. You can install Apps on your laptop and by that way make ONLINE Help available offline ;) Online help describes Forms, fields, navigation and really ONLINE things. To me it sounds a bit illogical to have ONLINE help without access to the application.
    2. The Apps Doc Set is available on the OTN. You can easy download it for OFFLINE reading. And this documentation is intended for offline reading.
    3. Help files for each module located in $APPL_TOP/*/11.5.0/help/US directories. You can try to copy a directory for a module you are interested in on you PC and try to read it offline.

  • How do I tell the installer to put my html help files in the helpdir symbolic location?

    I used the File>>Print function to create an HTML help file for my application and specified in the VI Properties for the app to use <helpdir>:\ApplicationHelp.HTML as the Help Path. This should pop up the help file when a user selects "Help for This VI" from my custom menu. It works from my development directory because I installed the help files into the help directory manually, but I can't figure out how the get the installer to put the files in the correct location on the target system.  I tried putting them in [LabVIEW 2010 Help] in the Destination View for the Source Files category, but that didn't work.  Anyone know the right way to do this?

    Hey MrSmith, 
    In LabVIEW 2010 SP1, if open the Project and right click My Computer, you can add the help file as a source. After you have added this file, you can then create an installer. Under the Destination header, you can add your desired destination path. After you have done that, you can go to the Source Files header and add the help file to that destination you created. 
    Hope this helps. Good luck with your application!
    ~kgarrett
    Thank you for the reply! I had already done the steps you suggested, so let me put up some screen shots that should help you understand my issue better. First, I specified the path to the help information on the Documentation screen of the applications Properties:
    Next I had added all the help files (DetectorFT.html and all the .png files) to the source in a virtual folder I named Resources.
    Next, for the release build I specified the files to be Always Included on the Source Files header.
    Next I created a Resource Directory as a destination for the release build.
    Then I specified the Resource directory as the destination for the files for the Release build.
    After creating the Release build, I created an Installer build and told it on the SOurce Files screen to put the help files into the [LabVIEW 2010 Help] directory.
    I had assumed that putting the files in the [LabVIEW 2010 Help] destination would put them into the correct directory when the installer ran.  When I ran the installer on the target system, the ran the application I tried to select the "Help for This VI" tab on the menu, but it was grayed out indicating it could not find the file in the proper location.  So the question I have is, what IS the proper location for the files to be installed to so the the application will find the Help files when it is looking for them at the <helpdir> Symbolic Path location? Thanks again!

    You could try looking at the HAT Matrix. This is a comparison

    RoboHelp itself, whilst it does support over 35 different languages
    does not support Persian or Arabic.

  • Closing one help file closes another

    Hi y'all, I've searched and searched for an answer to this so
    I hope someone can help.
    I want to create a small floating window that acts as an
    'always on top' menu with links to a full-screen help file. I want
    the user to be able to close the full screen help file, leaving the
    small window open. Oh, and this menu window is to be initially
    called from the full-screen window by user request, but once open
    it should stay open until specifically closed by the user.
    I'm starting with the assumption that this requires two
    separate help files - right?
    Trouble is, when the user closes the full-screen help file,
    the menu help file closes with it. If anyone knows how to prevent
    this, I'd be very grateful.

    Rick,
    Same here - I try to keep in touch as much as my schedule and
    my computer will let me!
    South Coast,
    Sorry for the delay. Being on the road so much and troubles
    with my computer have made it hard to do much with the forums
    lately. Here's what I would suggest for your menu system:
    1) As you've observed, using the normal external topic link
    mechanism in RoboHelp just results in the topic coming up in a
    specified window, but since it's the same instance of WinHelp (the
    same instance of winhlp32.exe), closing the topic window also
    closes your menu window.
    2) The trick is to invoke a second instance of winhlp32.exe.
    To do that with your menu window, have your link that calls the
    menu use the EP macro (yes, I know the macro reference materials
    state that EP() is a deprecated macro, but it still works, and its
    ability to use Windows command line switches is what you want for
    the rest of the procedure).
    3) Here's a sample of the menu-calling macro code:
    Link Text!EP(`C:\WINDOWS\winhlp32.exe -i default_topic
    menufile.hlp',)
    Result: Windows instantiates a second instance of
    winhlp32.exe and uses the "-i" command line switch to open
    "menufile.hlp" to the default topic, or whatever topic ID you
    specify. The menu appears in whatever window at whatever position
    you have set in the menu project properties dialog.
    4) Close the topic window. The menu should stay visible and
    accessible to the user.
    5) Now, in your menu, your links would have macros coded like
    this:
    Link Text!EP(`C:\WINDOWS\winhlp32.exe -i External_Topic_ID
    externalfile.hlp',)
    Result: another instance of winhlp32.exe is launched and
    opens your main Help file to the topic with the specified topic ID.
    6) Close the topic window and click another link in the
    still-visible menu window - you should see that other topic open in
    a fresh WinHelp window.
    7) The only drawback that I can see is that if you don't
    hard-code the path to winhlp32.exe, you get a message that Windows
    can't find that file in a path that Windows apparently thinks ought
    to be "C:\WINDOWS\Help\winhlp32.exe". I didn't have time to do more
    testing or troubleshooting on that issue - maybe next week when I
    get a chance to take a little vacation time ...
    Let me know if this helps any. Good luck!
