Clicking in the "Finder" window will not work

Hello everyone! I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me so I won't have to make ANOTHER trip to the Genius Bar.
Recently I had my trackpad replaced at the Apple Store because I found that it was not registering when I was clicking (however, it would allow me to "tap" on it). I just got my computer back today and I'm happy to say that my trackpad is clicking perfectly...for the most part. It's registering when I click in all the programs, Firefox, Word, etc. HOWEVER, whenever I click on the "Finder" window icon on the bottom of my screen, my clicks aren't working. I can click outside of the box and to other "devices" or "places" in the window, but when I'm trying to click on "documents", "music", "pictures" etc within the "finder" window, it doesn't let me click (even when I change it to "tap" clicking, it won't even open the folders). Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm hoping it's an easy fix so I won't have to go all the way to the Apple Store, however, I'm a teacher and I often use "MY DOCUMENTS" frequently, so me not being able to click on it is quite aggrivating.
Thanks everyone!

  • The url window will not take me to web address when I type it in. Has always worked before, I have not changed any settings.

    Suddenly today, the url window will not work. I checked Internet Explorer and it works fine on that. I type in www.ups.com and hit enter....nothing....what do I do to make this work again?

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
    Thank you.
    Brian in the UK.

    Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

  • HT2311 After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go).  What do I do?

    After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go).  I also looked for the new iTunes by clicking on my Hard Drive icon but didn't see it there either.  I only see the icon for the old iTunes.  What do I do?

    The exclamation mark means that the app has lost the link to the actual file.
    First step: try and make sure the iPhoto Library is working correctly:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Finder window will not open

    Finder window will not open from the dock unless I right click and click "New Finder Window".  Currently running Yosemite 10.10.3 (14D87p) public beta (iMac - 27" late 2013). 
    Tried the following fixes:
    1.  Deleted finder.plist and restart.
    2.  Force quit Finder - when I do this, I get the "Finder not responding" and have to restart computer and right click for "New Finder Window".
    3.  Perform "disk permission repair".

    Well I'm glad that I"m not the only one with the issue. I'm also running Yosemite 10.10.3. About 2 days ago Finder stopped responding. I have reported it via "Feedback Assistant".
    I did create a new profile and it does open with a new profile. Which is kinda strange. I have also done items 1-3 listed in the original post.
    I will keep an eye on this post to see if anyone solves the issue at hand.

  • My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad one.

    My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .

    Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
    If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go '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 Sky Go 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 you could try 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.

  • Open link in new window will not work

    I am running Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP and have never had a problem until just recently. If I right click and select "open link in new window", a new window will open, but it is blank. This started about a week ago while playing Pogo...the game rooms will not load because they open in a new window. Now I am noticing that it is with everything, not just Pogo.
    I have tried checking and unchecking the "block pop-ups" option and the new windows will not load either way.
    Any help would be appreciated!!!
    Thanks!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

  • TS3212 I am trying to install itunes on my pc and the run window will not appear. I changed the pop-up blocker settings and I still can't see it?

    I am trying to install itunes for my pc and the run window will not come up and I have changed my pop-up blocker settings and it still will not appear.....help?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
    Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone?

  • There is no longer a "close tab" under the file menu, so how do I go back to a previous page when the back button will not work?

    Often the back button will not work. I can find no "close tab" under the menus, which I think used to be there, and which is used with Internet Explorer to go to the previous page. How can I go back to the previous page with Firefox when the back button will not work?

    No you can't. Apple don't support downgrading of iOS.

    It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well.  Have your Exchange team look at the following
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
    From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
    configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
    You might want to:
    Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
    Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
    If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain).  Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
    desktops.
    Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings.  NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
    Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
    When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.
    Good Luck
