Help Viewer Frozen???
I was just curious if anyone else has this problem. I am running 10.3.1 and everytime i click on my help viewer (I'm trying to learn Xcode and help is essential for me) and nothing. It freezes. I have deleted preferences, caches, and tried little snitch which blocks apps from trying to access the internet. Little snitch works (kinda) but is there a way to get my help working??? The problem with little snitch is that it works once then quits. I don't know if this is help viewer or little snitch. I would imagine it is little snitch. So it looks like the viewer is trying to access the internet...which it can because I have an always on connection and then it freezes and gives me the beach ball of doom. Any suggestions are welcome!!

no safari works fine...i am actually replying to you using it....I have gotten the help packets to open after clicking examine package and opening the htm file...but i don't want to do that every time...its kinda annoying..
thanks
I'd fire up Console and see what it's waiting on. Could be trying to contact the mothership for documentation updates.
Also, Xcode has all the documentation you need right in the app, along with an excellent keyword search. All under the Help menu.
