Are you using automatic synching of your .Mac account iDisk or synching calendars/address book, etc to .Mac? I've seen this behavior most often when using the automatic iDisk synching feature. The synching feature works well most of the time, but if the connection is slow for some reason it can get confused.

I'm using the auto sync. Maybe thats upsetting it.

Most likely. Set it to sync Manually (on demand only) and the problem will likely go away. At least that's been successful with my primary contract client so far.

Any reason i cannot access Mac help. I just get a blank box and the spinning wheel.??I can access help in PS etc.I'm using an always on dsl connection and Airport Express.

I've seen this occasionally too, wrote Apple a bug report about Help Viewer operation.

It works correctly most of the time for me, but perhaps whatever is the underlying cause for the MirrorAgent failure is also hitting the Help browser. Sometimes, I notice that the Help Browser window comes up blank but if I click the "home" icon in the top bar, it then does the right thing. I also notice that it is more reliable when I unset the option in the Help Viewer menu to "Perform Product Support Searches" and pick the product I want help on directly from the Library menu.
