I can't open folders on the desktop with one click

This is really frustrating. I was able to open foders on the desktop. Now that I have upgraded to Maveric, I can't open folders and other desktop with one click.

Problem cleared after deleting below Libarary files:
com.apple.automator.LSSHAREDFILELIST 9.15.09 PM.plist
com.apple.finder 9.15.29 PM.list

Can't open documents on the Desktop with apple applications

Came across this while using automator and now realize that it is a problem with Numbers, Pages and probably all Apple Apps.
With Automator I get the eternal spinning wheel whenever I try to open a workflow which is located on the Desktop.   Works OK with other locations.    Also, whenever I use the "Get Specified File" command in automator and try to add the file location I get the spinning wheel. The desktop is the default location when I do this and can not change it.   Other Automator commands work ok.
I have come to realize that this is also true with Pages and Numbers. That is any document that is on the desktop will not open from the Pages/Numbers application. The selection page freezes and have to force quit.    However, the document will open directly from the Desktop (i.e. selecting it on desktop and double clicking.).     Also, documents open ok from any other location.
Have run disk permission and deleted cache files associated with Automator with no change.     Everything else works perfectly on the Mac, running Mavericks 10.9.1.
I'd appreciate any ideas.   Thanks

Can't open anything on the desktop

I'm not new to using mac, but this one has me stumped. I can't open the HD to see the applications by double clicking on it using the bar under the track pad does work-I would just like to use the double click on the track pad. The only way to open anything on the desktop is to click on it then go to the top menu and click open or I can use the command key 'o' I do have the track pad setting to allow for double clicking. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Renee

Yep, track pad is checked in system preferences. This is why this is so baffling to me. I've also tried shutting down and opening again thinking perhaps everything needed to boot up again.

Can't open folders on my desktop

can't open folders on my desktop

what exactly happens when you try double clicking a folder?
Also, can you right click it and then click Open? what happens then?
if you do not have right click enabled, hold control, and click the folder. then let go of control and click Open.

Opening pictures from the desktop with iphoto

Hey guys,
When I download pics onto my desktop (or anywhere else for that matter) (say a friend skype me some pics) and i want to open them with iphoto to store them in the relevant roll or album, i have to go through all the hassle of :
-ctrl click
-open with
-other
-look for iphoto in the list of programs
Is there any way I can put iphoto directly in the list of program i get by ctrl clicking on a picture file? The only think i can think of is "always use this program", but then again i don't always want to do that...
Thanks a lot! It would save so much time in the end...

You can also import a complete folder of jpegs by drag and drop.
Its slightly trickier but will work. Some practise may be needed.
Select the library and scroll down to the bottom of the album pane. Pick up the folder and move the mouse pointer to a spot to the right of the Trash and between the lowest album and the one above. When a black line apears around the entire album pane just relase the folder and it will be imported as a complete album bearing the folder name.

Can I open all of mine emails with one Master Password ?

After entering master password, I have to enter password for each of mine email accounts also.
Let's say for 20 accounts I must enter 20 different passwords, and it's time consuming. Can Thunderbird
store all my passwords, so I can open all email accounts with one master password. If not can I get a Add-on or opp in order to do this, please let me know.
Your dedicated user Tony.

When entering the account password, check the box to remember it.

Can we print multiple excise invoice documents with one click?

Hello,
SAP has provided with t-code 'J1IP' for printing excise invoice documents. But for printing multiple documents we need to click print button each time for every new document. is there any other way by which you can print bulk excise documents without clicking print button each time?
Thanks in advance.
Neha

Hi Neha,
It is possible on SAPB1.
Try to Use the Document Printing Window on Financials or Marketing or Banking Module..
Try this,
->> Financials.
-> Choose Document Printing.
->> Open the Document Printing Window.
->> Select the Document Type - Incoming (or) Outgoing Excise Invoice.
for example, IF you Select the Document Type - Incoming Excise Invoice.
->> Select the require Series.
-> your requirement wise, put the tick mark of Open Only or &Only Documents Still to Be Printed.
->> put the Posting Date From Date & To Date.
->> Assign the No. of Copies - 1 or Your wishes.
->> Click the OK button, than will Open the Print Incoming Excise Invoice Window.
->> Choose all Incoming Excise Document (select all row).
->> Click the Print button.
Regards,
Madhan.

Can anyone please help? Every time I start up my imac OSX 10.6 desktop my Aperture 3 programme opens up without being requested. Is it possible to stop this from happening and only open by using the desktop icon? Thank you for any assistance.

Best regards, John.

because there is absolutely no mention in my System Preferences of either Users & Groups nor Start Up Items.
John,
William's solution was much easier - just for completeness sake: The preferences panes to edit your startup items moved between the Mac OS X updates: I forgot that the "Users&Groups" preference pane used to be called "Users" in Mac OS X 10.6; it is the panel that you use to create new User accounts; and earlier systems had a separate preferences panel "Login" to enable and to disable the applications that are launched at login. Both are now combined in "Users&Groups". Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase with the wrong Preferences panel.

When I click on Safari Icon it opens,but under the desktop picture.How can I get it on top of it?

When I click on Safari Icon it opens,but under the Desktop picture.How can I get it on top,so I could see it?

I would open a guest account and see if the problem persist in this new enviroment.
Boot into Safe Boot Mode and see if the problem is present, this turns off third party plug-in's and extentions.
This will give us something to go on and recommend the next step.
