Can't double-click on icons to open Photoshop CS4

When I double-click various Photoshop files (.jpg, .tif, etc...) I get the "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file".  But they open fine when I go to File>Open.  I've changed the extensions to default open with Photoshop but that didn't help.  Any easy solutions?  THANKS!

I'm also having the same issue with InDesign.
Ahhh…  well your issue is not related to Photoshop directly then. I suggest you run disk permissions, on your main hard drive  - don't worry its a fairly safe activity.
Also try this free application…
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
This will do Permissions repair as well as other important maintenance tasks. Good idea to back up first, but these kind of activities on mac are really 99% safe and recommended.
To reset Photoshops preferences hold down Command > alt > shift while starting Photoshop. Sounds like your issue is not going to be sorted by this though

    my business partner signed up for the acrobat xl pro, and added me to the account.  it send me an email to download and install, but after it downloads, nothing happens, can't double click on it to open, it just does nothing on the double click.  I tried to download again, and still same thing.  I am on a mac with latest OS.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    he is on a pc, we bought a subscription to the license and was told it's 180 a year or 14.99 monthly per user, on the business plan.  So the sales rep on the phone walked us through adding the people who will be added to account who will need a license to use.  the sales rep said that we just need to go to that section and add users and it will email the user a link to download the file and install

  • I synced my Ipod to itunes now i can only double click the icons on the screen it seems that the swiping feature has been disabled, how do I get it back to normal? I've restored it but nothing has changed

    I synced my Ipod to itunes now I can only double tap the icons on the screen, it seems that the swipeing feature has somehow been disabled, Is there a way i could fix it or get it back to normal?

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may have an accessibility feature called VoiceOver enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to use VoiceOver as well as how to disable it.

  • I can't double click in order to open file or folder

    Dear apple support team,
    I have the problem with open file or folder when using Mountain Lion, I can't open file or folder by double click in it. With Lion i can do it.
    Please advice for me, i feel use Mountain Lion is difficult.

    Are you tapping to click, or pressing down the trackpad until it clicks? If you're tapping, try pressing.

  • How can I double-click a file to open it in default app in my Visual Studio project without creating an installer?

    I have an app with code to open a file by double-clicking on it. The app in my Visual Studio project file should start automatically and then open the file automatically. I double-click on the file, then look for the app in my solution folder (I choose the
    .exe in the Debug folder). Am I choosing the correct .exe file?
    What I'm trying to do is test some code I wrote that will open the associated file type when I double click on it, as opposed to creating an installer, installing the app and then double-clicking on the file to see if it will open in the associated app automatically.

    Hi dudefromthebronx,
    Yes, I think you could doubt click the .exe file in your local machine.
    Of course, maybe you could get it in Bin\Debug or Bin\Release folder, it is related to the current project settings.
    But we would know some differences between them:

  • Double click on icon not open file but only Photoshop

    Hi,
    I have some problems with Suite CS6 Master Collection on W7 os.
    1. After I installed the Suite CS6 Master Collection the psd file were not associated with software
    2. I manually associated psd files to Photoshop software,  the classic icon did not appear but appeared icon "Photoshop Plug-In". When we click on file psd, Photoshop starts but not open the file
    3. again, if I associate psd file and Photoshop icon, the file opens correctly once, then when I reopen psd file or restart my pc, the icon will automatically return "Photoshop Plug-In" and only open software.
    4. I discovered if I don't change associated icon files psd opens correctly.
    I'm waiting for an answer
    Thank you

    I have this exact same problem - I use WIN 7 and FF 3.6.13 - no one believes what I am seeing (except you :>) ) - hopefully someone will be able to respond with a solution
    I have uninstalled FF and re-installed same problem
    The FF WIN 7 taskbar preview shows the correct display and when I click it I get a flash and it appears to go off right side of screen

  • Firefox is not start up when I double click the icon on Mac. So I got nothing

    I don't know that it happens to me. Today I update firefox 3.6.4 Beta3 on the machine that I hope it old problem issue is gone. But I've been got a problem that I've double click a icon on Doc and then it's gone.
    Hope you response a problem !
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 clients can't double click to open Office files

    Let me start by saying I don't know too much about Server 2008.
    I have Server set up so desktop clients (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) can log in as their user on their own machines.  On two of the client machines (mine and my bosses, I have admin rights on everything) a couple funny things are happening:
    1.  Can't open a Word or Excel file by double clicking the icon on the desktop.  Error is as follows:
    Excel
    Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB'.  There are several possible reasons:  The file name or path does not exist.  The file is being used by another program. 
    The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
    Word
    The file Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.
    and then
    Word cannot open this document template. (C:\Users\(username)\...\AVWiz14s.dotm)
    and then
    Word cannot open the existing file. (Normal)
    and then Word stops responding.
    Note that I can open these documents normally from the start menu.  I have determined this error has something to do with the server because I have tried a bunch of stuff on the internet, including an Excel hotfix, which did nothing.
    2.  Desktop icons flicker, rearrange themselves, and even disappear completely at times.  I do not know what causes this, but I do believe this is a server issue.
    3.  I get recycle bin errors every time I log in, and every time I try to delete anything:
    The Recycle Bin on \\intecserver\Office Employee Files\kneureuter\My Documents\My Videos is corrupted.  Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?
    Sometimes I get that error for 3-4 different directories.
    What I've tried:
    I tried reinstalling Office, and that made no difference.
    I have the drive from the server "Office Employee Files" mapped to network drive Y:.  I can open that and go to my account folder on there, navigate to "Desktop" and open the files from there, but not on the physical desktop on my
    computer.
    These files aren't shortcuts on the desktop, their permanent home is on the desktop.
    Just to reiterate, if I moved these files into a folder on the desktop, they will open fine.  If I open them from within Excel or Word, they open fine.  If I open them from the server drive mapped onto my terminal, they open fine.  Just can't
    open them by double-clicking the file if it is directly on the desktop.  Any ideas?
    I logged onto my account from a different computer and double-clicking to open the files worked fine on that computer.  Both computers running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Office 2010 Pro.  So that limits it to this machine and my bosses machine.
    Since you can't create a shortcut for something on the desktop, I created a new folder on the desktop and put the files in that folder.  From there I created a shortcut and put that on the desktop.  That worked!
    However, that's just a band-aid.  I need to fix this problem sooner than later. 
    Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi AxEheaD15,
    If  the Desktop or the My Documents folder is redirected to a network location, Office applications may exhibit  the similar issues .

    when double click itunes icon it shows " The file itunes library.itl can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" so what can i do?

    Unless you have attempted to downgrade to an older version of iTunes this is likely to be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

    i need to recover all my notes from Ghostwriter. When I double click the icon nothing happens. I am sick to my stomach! Can anyone help me?

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace
