Double-click in iphoto opens Photoshop, but no image

I am assuming this is a photoshop issue, but maybe not.
I have an iMac G5, PPC, running iPhoto 5 and Photoshop CS 1.
Suffered a brownout recently and had to have Apple Store help to reboot. Since then, double-clicking an image in iPhoto launches Photoshop, but does not open an image.
I have Photoshop selected for image editing in iPhoto preferences.
I CAN use PS to simply open the image from iPhoto, but this is cumbersome due to the laundry list of nested folders.
I read one tip from a similar case suggesting this is a scripting error, and that I should drag the icon "Adobe Unit Types" from the Scripting Additons folder of Previous System into the current system Additions folder, but this has not made any difference.
Since I have no idea what I am really doing with all this, I hope someone can suggest/explain a fix. Thanks!

Thank you, Buko—my bad, missed the FAQ as I do not use these forums often.
Also, I have a general horror with reinstalling old software for fear it will mess up something else, but custom install of PS worked.

Give this a try:
1 -be sure to have a current backup of the iPhoto library.
2 - download and launch http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/BatChmod.
3 - click on the File button, locate and select your iPhoto Library.
4 - check the Unlock and Apply to enclosed checkboxes.
5 - make no changes to the other checkboxes
6 - click on the Apply button.

Since last night I can open email but not the body of it, nor can I type anything in a new message. Everything else looks normal.

I am having the same problem. As recently as this morning, I could read entire hotmail emails on my iPhone 4 now, I can see only the sender & subject. What us up? Any solutions? Thank you.

On my iPad I can see in mail only the headlines of the mails but not the text - why?

On my iPad I can see in mail only the headlines of the mails but not the text - why?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if the text shows when you re-open the Mail app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot

When I double click a PS file, it opens PS but not the file. Why?

Since I purchased CS5, I've found that double clicking, or dragging to the Ps (or Ai) icon in the dock will only open the program, but not the file. I then have to go back and double click the file again to bring it up. I've looked in preferences but cannot find a way to resolve this. A friend who also has CS5 does not have this problem.
Thanks, Neil.

Have you updated your OS lately?
Are you on a Mac or a PC?
That behavior usually is sign of a file vital for Photoshop (and some other Adpobe apps too) missing.
I've published an old Adobe technote about that here http://www.ninisworld.com/thecorner/tutorials/photoshopopen.html including also the file needed on a Mac.
If you are on a PC I have no solution to suggest.

"Edit Original" opens PS, but not the image

When I try to edit an image using the "edit original" or 'edit with..' command in ID, Photoshop open up with a blank screen (no error message & no photo). Or in the case of a vector file, Illustrator opens up with the message "file not found". In the links panel, the graphics show the correct path on my C drive. Same thing happens when I try to open a file from Bridge: PS opens, but not the file.
I've seen lots of posts where the wrong application opens the graphic, but none where the correct app opens without a file. any idea what's going on here?
I recently moved into a new Quad core i7 computer with a RAID-1 configuration, running Windows 7 Pro. I did a clean install of CS4 Premium, and also recently installed all the updates to CS4.
Any help or suggestions are MUCH appreciated. I usually have a couple hundred graphics to "edit original" in each of the publications I work on. Thank you!

It's 64 bit Windows. I bought the computer with Windows 7 Pro because it's supposed to be able to install/run older software that may not be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. I have 9Gb of RAM.
I installed CS4 to the default directory, but Windows created a folder called "Program Files (x86)" for it, where it has installed all my older software that was either 32-bit or XP compatible.
My browser is IE v.8, and I'm still using the trial version of Norton Internet Security that came with the machine.
I've also been using the HP factory-installed Windows theme.
I should mention that I bought the computer refurbished and it didn't work when it arrived. I had to send it back to HP for a complete overhaul and reinstall of the OS. I believe they also had to replace the graphics card, which is now an NVIDIA GeForce GT 220. It's been running fine since then, just this one glitch that I've noticed so far.

Double click no longer opens folders, but opens desktop

Starting a few days ago when I double click a folder on the desktop it no longer opens. Instead, I am taken to a new desktop window that shows the folder clicked plus all other items on the desktop. How do I restore the double click to open the folder? I have tried resetting the double click speed with no results. Thanks.

Open Mission Control. Close all desktops except Desktop 1 by positioning the cursor over each one and then clicking the X button in the top left corner.

Clicking pdf in Windows Opens Adobe but not the pdf

I know this will sound like a minor annoyance but this is an issue with Acrobat 11 in my master image. QA won't sign off on my image until this is resolved. When my users launch a pdf from their local machine for the first time Acrobat opens however the pdf file does not. Simply closing Acrobat and clicking the pdf a second time corrects the issue. These seems to be just a first run issue. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
This is windows 7 x64 with Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

Are you working with AA 11.0.0, or have you done the updates? The updates may resolve the issue if they have not been done, particularly on a 64-bit machine.

I can hear the music but not the Lyrics - why?

I hope I am in the right area for help on this and if
not - sorry. I have a 2GB iPod nano - when playing from
my list of songs I hear the music just fine for can barely
hear the lyrics. I have looked all of these web sites and
have yet to find a user friendly manual or group to help.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I do not understand
why these products cost what they do yet no information is included
with the purchase except how to get started with them. Thanks
for any help that can be given...

Well, I doubt this is a Nano problem. It most likely has to do with the encoding of the source file or the headphones you are using.
If you play the same songs on a DIFFERENT player (computer, etc), do you get the same results? How did you encode the music - by importing a CD into iTunes or some other way?

CR2 files open from one camera, but not the other in CS2

Running Mac with CS2. My camera raw files shot with my lovely Canon 5D open and can be viewed in bridge and in photoshop, but NOT the camera raw from my brand new Canon powershot G9. They are both producing CR2 files. I can see the images in the bridge browser window, but when I double click to open I get a dialogue box that says, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." I have the 3.7 plug in installed. Please, some god or goddess of photoshop out there, show me the error of my ways!

Walt,
I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. But hopefully others who are better at this than I am will offer their help as well. So, here goes.
1. Everyone has their preferred method of using Bridge. In the Photoshop preferences I have not checked the box to have bridge start automatically. Although I use Bridge most of the time, there are occasions when I don't want to use it. So I prefer to start my Photoshop session by starting Bridge first, and then double-click on an image in Bridge to have it opened in Photoshop. In the Bridge preferences, I have checked the "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge", and I like working that way.
2. I have seen several people comment about having this problem. And occasionally it will develop after you have been using Bridge/Photoshop for a while. The only thing I can suggest is for you to hold down the Ctrl key while you start Bridge. A dialogue will appear that will allow you to reset your preferences. There are three options and you should choose all three. I know, you haven't had it installed very long, but this "could" be the problem. One guy I talked with said that he had to do it several times before it fixed the problem.
3. You indicated that you downloaded Camera Raw 4(5). What does that mean? Did you download version 4.5, which is the latest version? And, did you follow the installation instructions that were on the download page? The new plug-in must be put in the exact directory specified, replacing the old version that is already there. The old version cannot be put in a sub folder. You might as well get rid of it. You don't need it anymore. And, again, it has to go into the specific folder designated in the instructions. After you have done that, in Photoshop goto Help/About Plug-ins and click on Camera Raw. It should only be listed once, and when you click on it you should get a dialogue that will tell you what version you have installed.
4. After I installed CS3, when I inserted a card into my card reader I was presented with the normal Windows options. One of the options I was given was to download using Bridge. I chose that option and indicated to always use that option. I haven't had any problems with it since. But if that option isn't there, you can open Bridge and click on the File menu. There is an option to download images from your camera. It has worked well for me.
