bhaisahab posted at the same time as I did.

He feels that the 'your helping me' versions are possible in the first three. I think the 'your' is unnatural, but I am not sure that I would actually go as far as to say they are incorrect.

5.Thanks for taking the time for the talk. Just about possible if 'the talk' refers to a lecture.

In what other cases can I use the constuction; To take the time for something?'
Eg., Thanks for taking the time for your call. Would it be correct?

Thanks

I agree with you, I explained it badly.

"Thanks for taking the time for your call" is not correct, no.

Thanks for taking the time to call.
Thanks for your call.
Thanks for taking the time to call me.

As was said, "Thanks for taking the time for the talk" is only just about possible, but it's not very natural. The following would be better:

"Thanks for taking the time to give the talk" if you're speaking to the person who gave the speech.
"Thanks for taking the time to come to the talk" if you're speaking to someone who attended the talk.
