What message do you get if you click on the exclamation point?

Hi, thank you for your reply.
OK, I did what you said, and it said "getting" for a while, which eventually turned into "!". As before, the files are there, but evidently not quite right in some way. The reference page is still accessed online. I think if I tick the "Check for and install updates automatically", it's going to be downloading constantly.

Go into the Preferences, Documentation pane, and click the "Check and Update Now" button. That should download the docs and fix what you are seeing (let me know if it doesn't).

Also, make sure the checkbox is set to automatically update docs.

Hi all,

I installed the iPhone SDK, and it appears to have broken my documentation. I have the docs:

/Developer/Documentation/DocSets/ com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.DeveloperTools.docset
/Developer/Documentation/DocSets/ com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleSnowLeopard.CoreReference.docset
and
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Documentation/ DocSets/ com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleiPhone3_1.iPhoneLibrary.docset


And these can be seen in the Xcode preferences>Documentation, with the path specified as shown, in the info dialogue. However, whenever I look for anything using the Developer Documentation window, a list of hits appears on the left, but when I click on one of the search results, it goes off and finds the http://developer.apple.com/mac/library ... etc.

i.e. I type in NSImage, a list of hits appears, including, NSImage Class Reference, which when clicked on, provides the Class Reference, but via the internet. Isn't the Class reference supposed to be in the docset?

I tried reinstalling the previous version of Xcode from the MacOS installation disk, but the problem still persisted. I let the Xcode preferences try the "Check and Install Now" thing for the doc sets, and it spent ages downloading, but the result was the same.

I tried deleting everything I could find to do with Xcode, then reinstalled Xcode from the disk - same problem. I upgraded to the current version 3.2.1 (1613) again, but same problem. At one point, the libraries had an exclamation mark beside them, even though the files were there.

So does anyone know how I go about fixing this so that the local reference collection is used?

Thank you,

Ian. _______________________________________________
