Photoshop still pops up the help page

Had this issue in PS7. PS CS6 was fine until recently, but now it does the same thing.
Pops up a help page (usually several) in a browser. Seems to occur primarily when the fx (layer style) pane is open.
Thanks for any help.

The URL that it opens is http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/topics.html.
It seems to happen relatively often when the color picker is opened, particularly via the fx pane. It continually opens multiple pages until the color picker / fx pane / etc. is closed.
Also, this message appeared the last time this occurred:
Color Picker (Stop Color)
There was an error initializing the Adobe Help application. You may need to re-install the application and the Help component.

  • Photoshop opens itself the help page while running script

    Hello everyone.
    I have a script that works for hours, and I noticed that sometimes (about 1 time per hour, but it varies) Photoshop opens itself the browser to display the help page.
    Anyone know what can cause this?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.

    Here is my script:
    http://pastebin.com/j0Sp9u5K
    But I do not think my code is the cause ...
    I would like to share another concern.
    So my script works for hours, and despite the use of the command "app.purge (PurgeTarget.ALLCACHES)" Photoshop eventually crash putting me the message "Not enough memory to preview" (I do not know the exact message in English, I have a French version).
    There is no error code, and I tried to isolate my loop in a try / catch, but even so the error is crashing my script.
    I turned off the preview of the layers in the Layers palette, the script runs a little longer, but still ends by crashing.

  • Why are iCals help windows empty?  Topics are listed in a pulldown menu, but the help page that pops up is blank.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also,
    check the programs that are on your computer
    '''''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''''
    Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't

  • Hi, I'm making hyperlinks. They work for the main page of the webpage, but when I'm trying to redirect the hyperlink to a "sub page" of the webpage it is still going to the main page. (allthough I'm pasting the complete url address)

    Hi, I'm making hyperlinks. They work for the main page of the webpage, but when I'm trying to redirect the hyperlink to a "sub page" of the webpage it is still going to the main page. (allthough I'm pasting the complete url address)

    Hi! first of all, thank you so much for your help.
    I don't know about that panel you are talking about.
    what I do is RIGHT CLICK, INTERACTIVE, NEW HYPERLINK, and a window pops up, where I paste the address (images).
    Where says URL I paste the complete address that the "sub page" gives me.
    Is that correct? (for the main page of the wabepage works correctly)
    thanks!!!

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

  • In synk, when I click "add device" instead of opening a window to enter the codes, it opens another firefox window and takes me to the help page for synk. [SOLVED]

    I got a new laptop today and after downloading firefox I tried to use the synk feature and it says I have to add device on my old computer. In following the directions I never get to the screen to enter the codes from my new computer onto the old one. When I click add device on the old computer it takes me to the help page on the web with the same directions that took me there in the first place! So, how am I supposed to synk my new computer if I can't add device on the old or simply log in to my synk account on the new?

    Ok, I figured it out, I clicked "i don't have device available" and it let me log in to my account.

  • IPod not recognized (but with other symptoms than on the help pages)

    Hey people,
    My iPod is not recognized by windows (vista). I did take a look on the help pages, but nothing helps.
    When I connect my iPod, after a minute or so I get a message from windows saying "Do you want to check and repair the IPOD OF JASPER?" (sorry for the translation, I actually get the message in dutch). Then I can choose of two options, yes or no...
    When I click yes, it gives an error 'Could not be completed because the disk is not ready.'.
    When I click no, I get a message from iTunes saying 'iPod could net be recognized, please disconnect and try again.'
    Yesterday, it did show up in iTunes, but then iTunes immediately froze and my explorer (taskbar/windows explorer) too. I had to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the off/on button...
    What's even weirder; When I initially installed this iPod, it all worked. I put music on it, all fine. Then the second time i connected it, this things mentioned above happened. Then a few days ago, it suddenly connected in the right way. And now it isn't anymore....
    Anyone please help?!
    I hope this is not any of those stupid security things of vista....
    Greeting, Japzerr

    Do you have a network or external drive that is sometimes connected to your computer and sometimes not?

  • The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page with my downloadable list of songs. How do you down load a purchase? I have made 3 purchases of the same song and can not down load it and the HELP instructions don't help.

    The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page listing my purchase.
    The HELP instructions list that such a button must be clicked to down load an item.
    I have made 3 purchases of the same song in an attempt to download it.
    Only one of those purchases appears on the page that list purchases available to down load.
    I wrote out a copy of the HELP page instructions (the page can't be printed) so I could accurately follow it as I tried to do the down load.
    Is there some secret to downloading a purchase or causing the down load button to appear?

    Hello L Swarz,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when downloading your purchased song to your iPod nano.
    I am not sure if you have tried these specific steps, but I recommend downloading the purchased song to iTunes on your computer using the steps in the following article:

  • I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a General Failure box stating 'The system cannot find the file specified' yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a box stating
    General Failure. The URL was "http:// etc etc".The system cannot find the file specified.
    Yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.

  • Having dowanloaded Yosemite, I find that I can' enlarge the print on the Help pages.   The Command  keystroke does n`t seem to work.   Any body any ideas as to haw to do it in the new OS X ?

    Having downloaded Yosemite, I find that I can't enlarge the print on the Help pages.   The 'Command +' keystroke doesn't seem to work.   Anybody any ideas as to how to do it in the new OS X 10.10 ?

    Hi ..
    Command + T should definitely work.
    Restart your Mac then try again.
    If that doesn't help, a Safe Mode boot deletes some system caches that may help after an OS X upgrade.
    Top left corner of your screen click the  Apple   > Shut Down.
    After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, go back to the Apple  menu. From the drop down menu click:  Restart
    Then try enlarging the text in a Help window.
    About Safe Mode.

    I would like to create the a swatch, add it to the library and import to the swatch panel.  The help pages available relate to earlier versions of Muse, which does not work with the 2014.2 release version that I have.  I have created a library folder, imported the colour swatch as just 4 colours as a mulib file.  I drag the four colours on to the muse page in design view but that is as far as I get.  Can anyone help?  Thanks

    I don't know since I don't share anything. You'll have to peruse the help files and check the permissions and ACLs on the Shared folder. According to the permissions on the Shared folder everyone can R&W. If you want those to be inherited by everything dropped into the folder, add an ACL for
    everyone allow read, write
    Details in the manpage for chmod. The actual steps are left as an exercise.
