Can´t open folders (bins) in icon view

WhenI´m in my project window and I try to open bins (folders) that contain video clips by double clicking them, nothing happens.
When I change the appearance to list view, I am able to open bins and view clips.
This is very confusing. I changed nothing. The problem appeared out of blue.

Wrong forum. This is the hardware forum.

Can't open folders in applications' Finder view

This behavior started about a week or two ago, seemingly out of the blue. When I try to open a file in certain applications (VLC, iTunes, etc.), it prompts the normal Finder view. However, attempting to open a folder results in the application importing everything within that folder, instead of letting me go into the folder to pick the file I want. This is driving me nuts!
Does anyone know what I might've done to cause this, and how I would go about fixing it?

Open a guest account and see if the problem is Universal.
Try a SafeBoot http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 to see if it is some third party interference or extention
Delete the Finder plist and restart
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

Can't open folders to show pictures as large thumbnails permanently.

Can't open folders to show pictures as large thumbnails permanently.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm running Windows 7 on a PC, using Photoshop Elements 7
It used to be I could open a picture folder from Elements (File>Open) and instruct the files to show themselves as large or extra large icons (View>Large icons), I would then open one or more and edit them, go back to the original folder to open another and still see the files as large icons or whatever I'd chosen before.
I can no longer do that - as soon as I come back to the folder, all the files have reverted to List view. I then have to go back to the View options. On the other hand, if I open the same folders from Windows Explorer they all show as large icons, as I've chosen to view them, and they remain so for as often as I open the folder.
I bought a brand new copy of Elements 11 and installed on the same computer (after uninstalling El 7), believing that maybe my copy of Elements 7 was corrupt. But the same conditions obtained with El 11. I un-installed El 11 (didn't like it, too cluttered for me) and have re-installed 7.
I've picked up a couple of viruses along the way which I get rid of mostly by restoring the system to a previous state. I installed a trial version of Norton while El 7 was working properly and later uninstalled it, believing maybe it had something to do with the subsequent misbehavior of El 7.
I've noticed a couple of other quirks; after I click File>Open the window with my picture folders opens maximized, it used to be I could re-size it but not any more, even though the mouse pointer turns into double arrows along the edges and corners. Also, when I clicked on Save the pointer immediately defaulted to the Save box, but not so any more.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can't open folders or emails by double clicking mouse

I can't open folders or emails by double clicking my mouse. I was using a corded Apple mouse, so I switched to a Logitech cordless optical mouse, still can't open them. I can open my folder with command O, but not email. Any suggestions?

This worked for me: I trashed my mouse prefs, then restarted, then -- goto System Prefs --> Keyboard/Mouse --> Mouse --> Double-Click Speed: Now move the speed a minimum of one notch below FAST.
Yesterday I installed a Logitech MX Revolution, cordless mouse and lost the ability to double click with it and with my Mighty Mouse. Resetting the double click speed below FAST miraculously reset.
All seems OK now.

TS1717 I can't open my purchased films or view films in store and a note comes up that iTunes has stopped working. It checks for solutions, is unsuccessful and closes iTunes. I have reloaded iTunes but get the same. Any ideas?

I can't open my purchased films or view trailers in store. A note comes up to say iTunes has stopped working. It searches for a solution, is unsuccessful and closes the programme. I have uninstalled all programmes and reloaded but I get the same result. Any ideas?

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

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.

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:

Can't open folders/explorer after sleep or hibernation

I recently started to have this problem where when the laptop is woken up after either a sleep/hibernation, I can't open any folders. I can't open the computer icon, any folders on my desktop and the Windows File Explorer. I can, however, open the files (Excel, IE, Firefox) on the desktop even when this problem comes up.
It doesn't happen every time the laptop is woken up from either state but happens at least every other day.
In order resolve the issue, I have to restart the computer or log out and re-login.
I thought I had some corrupt files so I re-imaged the HD to its original state, but the problem came back.
Any thoughts or suggestions???
I have X230 with Windows 7 64bit
Thanks.

Can't open INDD file from icon

I have an installation of InDesign CS3 (upgraded from CS2) that won't let the user open a file from it's icon. You get the error message of "<filename> is not a valid win32 application" The file will open if you open InDesign and use the file open menu. The icon isn't the InDesign icon either-looks like a doc file icon without Word installed. I've gone into File Types (from the Tools-Folder Options-File Type window) and tried to manually made the indd file open with CS3 but that still didn't work (oddly when I try to use the CS3 icon it too has a generic .exe icon).<br /><br />If I log in as myself (admin rights on the Windows XP) and once I did the above it worked for me. I gave the user full rights and tried the above again but it didn't work-still wouldn't open by clicking on the icon-just keep getting that error message. Any help would be great as I can't seem to come across anything googled that is helping.

This is a follow-up. My question has been answered in that did get to open the file as follows:
By trial and error (based on responses) basically I was able to open the file as a copy from inside InDesign. There are three options in the lower left had corner of the window, I picked copy after trying the other two. Up until this time I could not find any idlk file.
Once I opened the file I backed it up and made another copy that I opened. I went back to the original file and tried to open it from finder. It would not open. Still no sign of the idlk file. But when I went back to open the work copy it opened but now the idlk file popped up in the finder and it continues to do so every time I open any file associated. This idlk file comes up with an icon that says "Locked"
My only question now: Is there a way to unlock this file from whatever it is linking to? Does it make any difference at this point?
I have learned this is a temp file of sorts that prevents changes to the original file. I would like to unlock the file so that it not connected to anything.
I have moved or deleted all files that it might be linking to. I have shut down other computers and hard drives using the same network. The idlk file come up every time. It goes away when I close the file. I have also deleted it while the file is open. I deleted all attempts at creating Book files. I'v been through preferences and checked Assignments. It seems like once you make a copy of a file, the original is always looking for the copy? Or the copy for the original?
So I'm working and making separate files for each chapter so that I can set up a book and have back-up and maybe create a whole new Book file that isn't linked to anything else but maybe that's not necessary.
I've been working with InDesign for a long time and never encountered this phenomenon before.
Thanks again for your responses.

Can't Open Folders

Using Leopard 10.5.2
When I try to open a folder, any folder, including the hard drive, the ipod, folders on the desktop, etc. this happens:
1st -- a window opens. In some cases I see the contents of the folder in it, but usually it looks completely empty.
2nd -- after about 1 second the window disappears and everything on the desktop including the hard drive image also disappears.
3rd -- after about 1 second everything on the desktop reappears, complete with the hard drive and other folders. They are all closed.
Spotlight can find folders within folders, and files within folders. Applications can be opened from spotlight or the dock, but not from any folder, such as the applications folder. Some folders can be opened from Recent on the apple menu, but others can't.
I spent a couple hours on the phone to Apple yesterday and they first had me create an account for a phantom user. Logged off as myself, and logged on as the phantom user, and did not have this problem with that account. New problem being: can't access any of my files, because they're all associated with the original user account.
Next we did some complicated stuff to get access to my desktop folder from a new super-administrator account and moved my desktop into the "shared" folder. Went back to my account, and now everything that was on my desktop has disappeared and I still can't open any folders, so I can't get anything that was on the desktop for that account back.
Next we reinstalled the system software using the install and archive option.
This was also a giant step backwards, because it installed 10.5.1 and reset preferences etc back to the defaults but it did not affect the folder bug. So then I ran software update and installed 10.5.2 and now I'm up to about 10 hours of trying to make things work and have only succeeded in making things worse.

Hi I exactly have the same problem . I remarked it noon on my G5, Leopard 10.5.2.
I have 2 Internal Hard Drive.
On the primary one, i have the same symptoms : i could not open folders. Everything stops and restarts. Sometimes it even happens after several clicks in teh lateral bar of the Finder
On the Second internal Hard Drive everything is OK
I thought about rights.. i launched some maintenance & cleanup scripts using ONYX, then reboot... it 's the same.
It's so strange : i reinstalled Leopard from scratch two weeks ago >
I launched backups with Time Machine + Capsule
Recently i installed iLife.
It seems, that after install of Leopard everything was ok.
Recently, one of my update (iDVD) failed. And Safari.
This problems come from my RAM i think :
When i reinstalled Leopard, i should unplug all my upgraded non-Apple RAM.

I'm new to Mac and I can't open any .bin programs

I just got my first Mac today and tried to install AIM on it, but it came as a .bin file when I downloaded it and I can't open it. Do I need a program for it or something? Help!!

Can't Open Downloaded .bin

Let me preface this by saying that I didn't really know where to put this message, but I figured with the downloading and the program involved this was as good a shot as any.
I'm a new mac user, so bare with me.
I literally opened my macbook 2 hours ago and have been setting it up, tweaking it and generally just getting my smell over it but I encountered a peculiarity.
When I tried downloading my favorite chat program (AIM) I tried opening the install file (aim.bin) but instead of opening that it opened the Microsoft Office MacATTACK free 30 day trial. Now, I don't need that as I've got a copy of Office, so I uninstalled it, but the aim.bin file still won't open.
I don't know anything at all about OSX.
Can anyone break this down for me into easy to chew 'this means this, you are doing this, do this, then this' style?
Thank you!
T

Thank you, I appreciate your help, however, instead of opening the .bin file with Stuffit Expander, I get a message from Quicktime that says it can't recognize the filetype.
When trying to load the file by opening Stuffit Expander and selecting the file from the desktop, the file appears on the file list, but is not selectable (greyed out).
Any other ideas?

After having a virus, my PC can't open Firefox from the icon anymore. Help!

I can still open firefox from a hyperlink I have in a word document. But this isn't a long-term solution. Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox didn't solve the problem either. When I click on the firefox icon I get "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After Antivir removed the virus "Win32/Cryptor" virus

You may have the fake anti virus software "Antivir solution pro" Nasty malware. Google that if it hasn't comandeered your browsers. (Changes them to use proxy server), Here's one helpful link:
