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.

  • "Edit in Photoshop CC" launches Photoshop, but doesn't open the image.

    I'm working on a Mac with Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. When I select "Edit in Photoshop CC" from Lightroom, Photoshop launches, but the image doesn't open up. What is going on? This is a new problem since loading Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CC - it worked normally on my machine with previous versions.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I've been dealing with this problem for almost a month now and still no solution. Here's what I've tried:
    - Installed PS 2014 with pre-existing PS CC and LR 5.5 with pre-existing LR 5.4. Then...
    - Uninstalled LR 5.5 and PS 2014, reinstalled PS2014 first, LR second. Didn't work.
    - Did the opposite - reinstalled LR5.5  first, PS2014 second. Didn't work.
    - Removed PS CC and LR 5.4, reinstalled LR 5.5 and PS 2014 (in both orders). Didn't work.
    - Removed everything Adobe from the computer:
       - Creative Cloud, PS CC, PS 2014, LR 5.4 and 5.5
       - Deleted everything I could find relating to PS CC, PS 2014, LR 5.4 and 5.5.
       - Ran AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe to remove all traces.
       - Reinstalled Creative Cloud, PS 2014 and LR 5.5. Didn't work.
       - Uninstalled PS 2014 and LR 5.5, reinstalled in reverse order. Didn't work.
    One clue to the problem I stumbled across by accident leads me to believe the problem is something to do with ACRaw. If I try to open a JPG in LR 5.5 it opens fine in PS 2014. However if I try to open a RAW file (Nikon's NEF format) I get the "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 could not be launched" message.
    This is driving me buggy. Without the ability to go back and forth between LR and PS, the whole workflow is ruined.
    Any new thoughts?
    Thanks, EdB

  • Using JSP to run batch file - command launches excel but doesn't open file

    I have written a jsp on a server which runs a batch file. Every command line in the batch works fine except the following:
    CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" C:\Temp\spreadsheet.xls
    I can see that a command prompt has been opened and an instance of Excel has been created, but it does not open the file.
    I tried running the batch file on its own. It worked fine. I tried putting the java code in the jsp into a java class, that worked okay too. I think it might be to do with the fact that the client is trying lauch the application through the web, but it's missing some information such as paths.
    I am totally running out of ideas.. please help

    I guess if I know JSP stands for Java Server Pages..
    I would most probably know it runs on servers.Yes, you might, but if you were assuming that the path you gave would always lead to an executable running on the client you'd have a problem. It's worth asking.
    I must admit it's probably not the best idea, but if
    you can give me some advice on that, that would be
    greatJSPs shouldn't have code in them that doesn't pertain to view. I'd wrap something like a system call or Runtime.exec in a Java Bean that you can test off-line without the JSP. Then have the JSP instantiate an instance, invoke its method, and display the value that's returned.
    You've read this, of course:
    http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
    Everyone who uses Runtime.exec should.

  • InDesign tries, but doesn't open files on server.

    When using a finder window to open CS3 and CS4 InDesign files from our server, I get the opening effect but not the open file.  I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac. Double-clicking will not work, dragging the file into the application icon will not work, only the File > Open menu does the trick and opens the file. Note: double-clicking and dragging into the app icon does work for local files. Any fixes for the server file issue? Thanks!

    i have this problem too at random, i click on the indesign cs4 file in the snow leopard finder, indesign actually makes that temporary whatever it is in the finder but the layout pages don't open. my workaround is to quit indesign and start again and this usually works. but i am wondering if there is any other solution? when the file doesn't open it doesn't help to try to open it through the file menu. so i just quit and start again. (this may be a feature of indesign since sometimes at random the font sizing buttons don't work.)

  • I am trying to open a file that was e-mailed to me in the PDF format, when I click on it, the icon shows ''connecting'', but doesn't open the file are allow me to save it to my computer so I can open it with Adobe Reader, what else can I do??

    My suppliers e-mail me a copy of my monthly statements which is so much better than using snail mail, but since I have started using Mozilla Firefox, I can't seem to get them to open nor will it allow me to save them to my computer. Do you have any idea why this would do this??

    Hi brendalynn6,
    Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Project launches iMovie HD, but doesn't open

    I have an edit on iMovie HD, which for some reason launches iMovie, but doesn't open. Has anyone got any suggestions?

    Try deleting the imovie preference file.
    Close Imovie.
    Then locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist

  • Photoshop 7 no longer opens files

    After using Ps 7.0 for a couple of months on my new Win 7 PC, it has stopped opening files. I can make it open one jpg file by deleting the preferences file, but then it won't open second file. It also won't start a new blank file.  I updated it to 7.0.1, but that didn't do anything.
    An odd thing that might be related: when I'm in the file manager and double-click on an image file to open it with the default viewer (one of the Microsoft viewers that came with the the computer), it sometimes doesn't work - it does nothing. Because it's also a problem opening files, I thought it was worth mentioning. Photoshop opens the program, but doesn't open files. It doesn't matter if I right-click in the file manager and try "open with", or go to Ps and try to open a file. It doesn't matter if it's a previously opened file that I try to select from the recent file list.

    Try trashing any preference files Elements creates: user/Library/Preferences. Other than that try re-installing the software. You could also ask on the Adobe forum area at their web site.

  • "open with" launches CS5, but doesn't load JPG?

    I am a newbie to Mac, but loving it. When I right-mouse click an image file (such as a JPG) and choose "open with" Photoshop CS5, Photoshop launches but doesn't open the image. The image opens fine from the CS5 open dialog box. "Open with" works well for my other apps. I don't want to permanently associate CS5 to my image files. I've spent hours searching the net for an answer only to find this same question in a couple of places with no replies.
    I'm running an 8 core MacPro with OS X 10.6.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, CS5 rocks!

    Launch the Terminal app (/Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste in this one-line command, hit the return key, quit Terminal, and restart. The command resets the LaunchServices database.

  • IMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked.

    Can't open iMovie. iMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked. It just disappears up in the top left corner of the screen. The controls on the top of the screen (like; iMovie, File, Edit, View, Text, Share, etc) are al there, and they seem to work, but the window just won't show up.
    It happened after installing Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro.
    Any ideas?

    Disable screen saver. Restart.

  • I downloaded photoshop, but it wont open when i click it

    I downloaded photoshop, but it wont open when i click it

    That same thing happened to me. I have Windows 8, and I downloaded the Adobe Creative Cloud Download Center, then downloaded Photoshop through it. But then it didn't show up in the Start window, or anywhere else. Then I found it in the Program Files, but when I clicked on it it didn't do anything. But when I downloaded Illustrator the same way, it showed up in the Start menu and it worked.

  • When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

    When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

    Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
    Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
    Then click next followed by finish.
    You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
    Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
    Then click next, followed by finish.
    Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred. On Mac try launching directly from Applications. [if not using PSE13 substitute your own version and go to Program Files (x86)]

  • Just installed Final Cut Express 4 but doesn't open

    Hey I'm a dummy but....Just installed Final Cut Express 4 but doesn't open tells me I don't have the AGP graphics card,my ATI Radeon X1600?Do some imac 1.83 Intel Core Duo come with out it?I'm freek'n stuck!!Any help would be Greatly appreciated!!

    Al's suggestion should solve the problem.
    However, if you get fed up with hitting the esc key every time you open FCE you could try this permanent cure .......... it's nowhere near as frightening as it sounds and only takes a minute !
    For a permanent cure edit the info.plist like this:-
    1. Right click on the FCE icon (in Applications NOT the Dock) and select "Show Package Contents".
    2. Open the "Contents" folder and double click the "info .plist". It should open automatically in TextEdit - if it doesn't, choose TextEdit manually.
    3. Around 15 or so lines down you will see AGP. Delete it and put in PCI.
    4. Close the window and when asked if you want to save the changes, say yes.

  • Database is mounted automaticaly, but doesn't open

    Hello everybody! Please help!!!
    I have Oracle 8.1 installed on Win2000. When I restart the PC, the database is mounted automaticaly, but doesn't open. I have to open it manually every time I restart the PC. How can I solve this problem?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
    If that doesn't help:
    Post the Crash Log.
    It's at Home / Library / Logs / Crash-Reporter / iphoto.crash.log
    Double click on the file and it will open in the Console. Copy and Paste it in here.
