Can't dbl left click JPEG icon on desktop - to then open Bridge CS4

In CS3 I was able to dbl left click any JPEG icon on my desktop and it would open up Bridge (with view of my Desktop files). Now with CS4 I've set default "opens with" to Bridge CS4 and when I dbl left click on the icon nothing happens?!? Note that PSD files on my desktop have automatically changed to the new CS4 icon - and when I double left click on these PS CS4 opens up. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi bkbl?
Welcome to Apple Discussions
First check in Applications to see if there is an iTunes icon there?
If so then just drag the one on your Desktop to the dock, make sure it works and then drag the old one off.

Hi Gary,
I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
Please heck if the following reg key exists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......
Regards,
Rave

Highlighted Hard Drive Icons on Desktop no longer open when dragging/copyin

I noticed this yesterday and I have no idea how to fix it - hope someone here might have a quick fix.
When I attempt to move files into my folders from the desktop, I used to simply drag the files over the icon of the hard drive I wished to place it, and the icon would highlight, and then open, and I could navigate to the folder I wanted and drop them, and all the windows would close.
Now when I attempt to move files off the desktop in this way, the hard drive icon will highlight, but won't' open the window automatically as it used to.
I've done a permission repair and that didn't help it.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Respectfully submitted,
Len

Thank you for your response. That was exactly the problem. I have no idea how it became switched off, since I'm the only one that uses the computer, but no matter.
Thanks for the help!

Clicking JPEG icon launches Photoshop but doesn't open file

I run an IMAC Power PC G5 with Tiger 4.11 and recently did a system "archive and install". My JPEG files can only be opened within PhotoshopCS with Command+O. Double clicking an icon from the finder launches Photoshop but does not open the file. Neither does dragging icon on to application icon in the dock.
I ran the disk utility to verify and repair preferences and repair disk.
I reset "Launch Services". Then, I trashed "Adobe Photoshop CS Settings" and relaunched the program -- no change.
Other files (ai, pdf, etc.) open fine. I'm only having trouble with PhotoshopCS.

This is covered in the FAQs of this forum.

When I click on a icon it pauses and then opens up tabs instead of just opening up the icon? How can I get it to go back to working the way it used to? Thank you!!!

When i click on an icon it holds it down for a long time and then opens up different tabs instead of just opening up the icon

By "tabs", do you mean something like this -
If that is what you see, then you may be right-clicking on the icon instead of left-clicking on it.
Right-clicking or Control-clicking on an icon in the Dock will bring up a menu like that (it is a contextual menu, so its content varies a bit from program to program).
Usually, it is necessary to only click an icon in the Dock once in order to start up the program (if it has been quitted) or make it active (if it has not been quitted).

Clicking Finder Icon in Dock Doesn't Open New Finder Window

On my MBP with Lion, the left clicking the finder icon does nothing. It doesn't even change the menu bar focus to finder. I can right click and then open a new window. This works like I am accustomed to on my MBP with Lion.
Any ideas to fix this?
Thanks,
Geraldo.

Open Terminal, type
killall Dock
and press 'return' on the keyboard.
That will solve the issue temporarily. But to fix it permanently you need to go find the 3rd party software that is causing the conflict, probably in your Login Items if a restart didn't fix it. Look here:
 > System Preferences... > Users & Groups | Login Items
Likely suspects are things like
Total Spaces
Path Finder
BetterTouchTool
BetterFinder
but the list of possibilities is endless. Easiset thing to do is just remove EVERYTHING from your login items.

A week ago Firefox crashed and since then will not run on my computer. At first when I clicked on Icon on desktop a popup said Firefox was already running, but where was it? I couldn't find it anywhere. I uninstalled Firefox and downloaded Firefox 9.0.1.

Now when I click on either the desktop icon or Firefox in the program section, a little popup appears in the top left hand corner but there is nothing in it that I can click on to run Firefox

There may be a parent.lock file left in the Firefox Profile Folder because Firefox crashed.

Upon clicking Firefox icon-Firefox page does not open

Without any apparent reason, upon clicking Firefox icons, Firefox does not open. Appears the sign asking to wait on the screen, and the graphics for the icon being "pressed" but the page does not appear.
Thanks!

Make sure that "Match case" on the find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check mark.

Can't get rid of itunes icon on desktop

Already have iTunes showing on dock on bottom of display and now have iTunes icon on desktop display as well. Tried dragging it into trash but then I can't open iTunes from the dock without dragging desktop icon out of trash to and back to the desktop. Tried dragging desktop icon onto dock and into already existing iTunes icon already on the dock. Nothing i've tried seems to work. How to I get rid of this desktop icon?

When first opening firefox I always have to click the icon twice before the browser opens.

When I first turn on my laptop and click the firefox icon, it shows that it's working. After a few seconds nothing happens so I click the firefox icon again and then it will open but now I have 2 open browsers.

You're right, you should be able to just start typing in either the built-in Firefox home page ("about:home") or the actual Google home page (https://www.google.com/). Are you using one of those, or a different page that has a Google search box?
There are some add-ons to manage the home page and/or new tab page that may affect where the "focus" is in the browser. Could you try starting up Firefox in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
I suggest doing this the next time you start Firefox. Simply hold down the Shift key when double-clicking the icon. You should be presented with a small dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference? To return to normal mode, exit Firefox and start it again, not holding the Shift key.

Can Photoshop CS3 Be Configured To Open Bridge CS4 On Launch?

I used PS CS3 for a couple of years and then bought Photoshop Elements 8 last year because I felt it was more modern, included Bridge CS4, was incredibly cheap and would also do everything I wanted.
I have discovered that PS CS3 has a couple of useful items which are missing in PSE8 so I have just reinstalled it.
I would like to be able to have it automatically launch the newer CS4 Bridge rather than its own version but it won't.
Is it possible to do this?
Alternatively, is it possible to launch CS4 Bridge manually and use it with PS CS3 ?
I have tried but whenever I double click a photo in Bridge CS4 it also opens PSE8.
It looks as though the 2 Bridges are inextricably linked with their own versions of Photoshop/Elements.

Thanks John.
I suspect that may be the best answer I am likely to get but have not marked the question as answered just in case someone else can add anything.
Your suggestion does work. I changed JPEG, TIFF and PSD to Photoshop CS3.
The only (quite major) snag is that if I am using Elements and double-click a photo, it opens Photoshop CS3.
This wouldn't matter if I was just using PS exclusively but I also want to use PSE at times.
Looks as though I had better just leave them with their own versions of Bridge.
