As to your comment about not finding anything in the Apple help files about this are you implying Apple should account for every eventuality with every developer's hardware?
No. Apple Help Center via Help Viewer will not yield anything but "Content not available" no matter what I do.
Is that the entire content of the pop-up you're getting, or are you still getting that "Not connected..." stuff? (Would your copying and pasting the contents of the pop-up into a post be more informative?)
Edit: Please post a couple of search terms for which you're not getting any results and let us try them for ourselves on Macs other than yours.
