Photoshop CS5 "Help" function not working - Adobe Air error message?

Installed Photoshop CS5, and thought everything was working okay, but when I click on Photoshop Help, I get the error message "Adobe Air - This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing......" I have re-installed first Adobe Air, same problem and then uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5, but the problem remains. When I first tried to use the Help function it tried to update something and for some reason this failed. I'm wondering if others have seen the same problem and know of a solution? Thanks, David.

Hello:  there may be a configuration issue going on here.  I have escalated this issue to our Help app engineering team. In the meanwhile, please try the following:
Uninstall the Adobe Help application: go to your Application folder > Adobe > Adobe Help (drag it to the Trash)
Delete the following directory:
USER NAME (home) > Library > Preferences > chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.
Empty the Trash
Manually update the application via this link: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/
Select "Photoshop" in Step 1 and then click the Install badge in Step 2.  Make sure to select "Open" (and not Save) in the installation dialog box to fully update the app.
Note: The previous instructions did not include deleting the old application or its preference file. This will help ensure that it is thoroughly updated.

  • Adobe Help Menu stopped working - Adobe Air installation of app is damaged

    Hi,
    I've had the CS5 Master Collection installed for a few days and suddenly when trying to use the "Help" Menu in InDesign, it prompted an "Adobe Air" update, and somehow in that process, all my Adobe Help Menus and "Support Center" menus won't work. Now I get an error message that says: Adobe Air: This installation of this application is damaged. Try reinstalling or contacting the publisher for assistance.
    Not sure how to fix this. I uninstalled Adobe Air and then reinstalled, but it did nothing. I suspect it's the help/support application that is damaged. How can I fix this? The help menu is very...helpful.
    Thanks!

    I little more searching and I found the answer. Check it out here:

  • Photoshop CS5 serial number not working?

    I bought and downloaded Photoshop CS5 from this site about two years ago, and since then have purchased a new computer. I want install CS5 on this new computer, but my account isn't listing CS5 under my lists of products. When I try and register the serial number I found under my program's System Info, I get an error message that says my serial number isn't valid.
    A little while ago, adobe had an information leak and my account was one of the ones listed as possibly compromised- could this be the issue?
    If not, why won't it let me register CS5 to my account? I really want it on my new computer. I purchased the product legitimately and I don't want my money disappearing after only two years.

    Explain your situation to Customer Support, and see if you can submit some sort of proof. For example a credit card statement. Your bank can help you with that. See if your ISP can fish up the email.
    Also if you purchased it as an Educational discount, you might get in touch with that section.
    We are users and perhaps a Staff member may drop by, but for now that's the best advice.

  • Photoshop CS5 Move Tool Not Working?

    Please help. I am using Photoshop CS5 and my Move tool is not working. I just don't know what to do. I am making photobooks with a software plug-in, "Album DS", and for the last couple of months everything worked perfectly. Then, all of sudden, when I load up photos onto an album page, with the Move tool, I no longer get the crop markings around the photos to enlarge, decrease, or even move the photos. I have tried using the Move tool without the software and it still does not work.

    I just figured this out 5 minutes ago, by mistake I might add.  How in the world did you know this? Thanks.

I'm on an iMac running OSX 10.6.6, My Scanner is an Epson Perfection V350, and after installing the latest driver and an online chat with an Epson rep, they told me to download the latest Photoshop TWAIN plugin from the Adobe site, then run Photoshop in 32-bit mode.
    I tried that and the option to scan finally appeared in the import menu and the Epson Scan interface appeared. However, upon trying to preview or scan, the whole lot crashes.
    The Epson Scan program works as a standalone app, so the problem clearly lies within Photoshop. However I want to scan in Photoshop, not the clunky standalone app!
    Is there anything else to try?

    I would say it's more likely that there is a problem with CS5 and/or the new TWAIN plugin.
    Epson claim that since their application works standalone, than it's not at fault.
    Photoshop CS4 worked fine - I could scan via TWAIN perfectly. I've since removed the CS4 apps. And of course CS5 no longer supports it in the same way. Following Adobe's OWN recommendations of installing the TWAIN plug-in and running PS in 32-bit only led to complete software crashes.
    Of course I can scan in Epson Scan on it's own, but after 15 years of happily scanning via TWAIN in Photoshop, I don't see why I should change my way of working to something that would be less convenient.
    On another post I read something about having the correct TWAIN plugin - I could only find one for CS5 on the downloads page, so I assume I got the right one.

  • Photoshop CS5 rotate tool not working.

    I've just installed photoshop cs5 on a new matchbook pro, and I cannot use the rotate tool. When I try a window opens saying "Could not complete your request because it only works with OpenGL enabled document windows".

    I already checked that, nothing in the graphics processor box is selectable. I can't think of why I would have this problem... I was using a cs6 trial and the rotate tool worked fine.

  • Photoshop CS5 for Windows not working on dual monitor setup

    If I try to open Photoshop CS5 while my second monitor is plugged into my laptop (via VGA cable), it loads normally, but won't display any opened images. I get a gray background and nothing else. (see screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/f1bHcM3E )
    (I can even see the tiny image preview in the navigator, but not the image itself.)
    However, t'll work just fine if I open Photoshop with the second monitor disconnected and THEN plug it in, so it's not a problem with the dual monitors in general...just when first opening it. It's annoying because, if I'm working on a project and realize I have to make a quick image tweak in Photoshop, I have to unplug the monitor and then rearrange all my windows after Photoshop's done loading and I can plug it back in.
    Does anyone have any idea what's up with this? I can't seem to find any information online that specifically mentions this issue. For reference, I'm using Windows 7 on a Lenovo laptop.
    Thanks!

    Oh, that's possible. I went and read the detailed specs for my computer and it seems like it has both Intel and NVIDIA. Could that be it? (Computer hardware issues are not my area of expertise.)

  • Downloading Photoshop CS5 Extended trial not working

    Hi, I wonder if someone has had the same problem...
    I have Photoshop CS5 on my Mac but would like to trial PS Extended CS5 to try the 3D repousse out. I've tried twice to download the PS Extended download link but when I install it, it is just installing the standard PS CS5. I've tried uninstalling my own PS then downloading the Extended trial again but to no avail. Help!

    @RickCanvas you can find a list of our current product versions at Adobe Support Policies: Supported Product Versions.
    @DannyB2012 are you behind some type of a proxy server which might be interfering with the content you are able to view on the Internet?  Having problems locating the download button in multiple web browsers would seem to be something more global in nature.  Which operating system are you using?  Do you have any security software installed?  Are you utilizing the latest version of Java?

  • Photoshop Elements Stacking function not working

    I have downloaded and installed Elements 12 and when I opened it I discovered that it would not stack a series of pictures - gave me an error message saying "create stack failed."  Also when I tried to crop a pictures, it did not save it to the Catalog.  It did save to the hard drvie but did not put it in the Catalog.  I am wondering if this copy of the program has a bug in it?

  • Aperture help not working - getting JavaScript error message

    My Aperture 3 has been having a lot of strange issues lately, most, but not all of which have been cleared up by holding down command + option while starting up and going through all three of the choices there.
    One problem that remains is the inability to open the Help files. I keep getting the following message:
    “The Help Library requires JavaScript.
    If JavaScript is not enabled, you will not
    be able to view all the content.”
    Help works in all other applications, like Pages and Final Cut Pro. I don’t get JavaScript error messages in any other applications.
    I’ve already done an erase and restore from a Time Machine backup, and an archive and install. I reinstalled Aperture, although not by using the Terminal command suggested in the kbase article # HT3805.
    If I go the Terminal command route, will I lose all my projects, albums, and editing? What about Mobile Me galleries?
    I have a guest user on the computer, and when I log on to that user and open Aperture, the Help Library works fine. So, I know the problem is in my user account somewhere, but I don’t know how to address it. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the forums.
    The fact that you have access to java in another user suggests that it is a local setting or preference.
    In the applications folder/utilities there is an application Java Preferences, try resetting this and seeing if it works.
    If not, try deleting the java preferences file in your users folder
    systemHD/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.JavaPreferences.plist
    relaunch the app Java Preferences which creates a new preferences file for you, then try Aperture again.
    Let us know how this goes.
