Double clicking on icons doesn't open up applications anymore

My iMac recently went thru a electrical surge in my house that ultimately caused an electircal fire in the wall of my home. Anyway, I'm no longer to able to just simply double click on a desktop icon which, in turn, wold open up the appropriate application, and I'm not sure what to do to fix that problem. It's very unconvient to right mouse click then selct open and choose my app.
Oh, my iMac has gotten slow too.
Help!

butterkups,
The electrical surge probably caused a hard shutdown which resulted in corrupted caches.
For the double-click problem, go to System Preferences...>Universal Access>Mouse>Mouse Options>... and change the "Double-Click" speed.
For the slow mac try Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode.

Connecting iphone doesn't open itunes

The computer has no problem recognizing the iphone (automatically opens iphoto), just doesn't open itunes automatically. If I open itunes manually, the sync starts automatically and works normally. The box "open iTunes when this phone is connected" is checked. Anyone any other suggestions?

I have this same problem. It used to work -- I'd connect the phone, and iTunes would open and sync. Now, only iPhoto opens, not iTunes. I also have the "Open iTunes" box checked, and the iTunes Helper is in my startup items. I can't figure out why it was working for 4 years, then stopped all of a sudden.

Can't open iPhoto on MacBook. no error message. click on icon, doesn't respond. 10.7.5 version and '08 iPhoto version

IPhoto not responding when I click on icon.. No error messages, just won't open. Tried to open in system preferences did not work.
I am not computer savey, so only tried re-booting. Can you help? Thank you

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

I'm unable to expand stories in Facebook when I click on 'see more'at the end of the story.I click but it doesn't open the rest of the story.Why?

In Facebook, stories that are to long for display in current window are followed by the 'see more' tab.When I click see more in Firefox It doesn't open the remainder of the story,However It does work when I use this feature in IE,Must be a Firefox issue,How can I fix this problem I would rather use Firefox as my Internet Browser.

Double-clicking on files doesn't open them

Just started today:
If I navigate to a file in the Finder and double-click on it, nothing happens. It doesn't open. If I open the application (e.g., MS Word) and go to the file menu and choose Open, navigate to the file, the file will open. But it happens in all applications, not just Word -- double-clicking on any file won't open the file in its parent application. It's like the link between files and apps has been lost.
I restarted the Finder twice, restarted the whole computer twice, repaired Permissions with Disk Utility -- nothing has helped. Still can't open files by double-clicking on them.
Am I missing something?
Tx,
WK

Kappy,
Followed these "Get Info" box instructions for two different files and their apps -- the correct apps were already listed as the Default, but I reselected them and "Changed All" again anyway. Still no change. Double-clicking on these docs in the Finder does not open files or the files creator Application. The only way I can still launch files and the proper App is through Control-click and "Open with" command.
I even deleted the com.apple.finder.plist and restarted, thinking the Finder prefs file might be corrupt, but still no change, so took the original plist file out of the Trash and put it back in the Library>Preferences folder and restarted again. No change.
THEN - a breakthrough. I checked the Keyboard/Mouse Prefs Pane and the double-click speed for the mouse was set completely to the right. I backed it off one "notch", went back to the Finder and double-clicked on a Word file and Voíla! -- the file and Word opened as it should.
Went back to the Mouse Prefs Pane and moved the Double-CLick Speed indicator all the way to the right again ("Fast") and went back to Finder and focused on double-clicking files as fast as I could and they opened fine.
SO -- I'm embarrassed to say that I just wasn't double-clicking fast enough. Not sure how the Speed indicator got moved so far to the right, but I have backed it off a notch to a normal double-click speed that I've used for years, and all seems to be working.
Thanks again for all your help -- I learned some good things about how to connect files and apps which will no doubt come in handy in the future.

Holding ctrl when clicking a link doesn't open it in a new tab; does nothing

When I try to open a link in a new tab by holding down ctrl while clicking, it does nothing. Doesn't open at all. Have tried restarting in safe mode with add-ons disabled and had no joy.
Also getting no menu when using right click, also tried in safe mode, also nothing.

Should add that holding ctrl works from the bookmarks toolbar, just not in webpages themselves

Clicking on download doesn't open usual dialog window on some websites

Firefox 26 in Xubuntu 13.10.
When I download files (.pdf, .rar, .txt, or whatever) from most sites a dialog window opens asking me what I want to do with said file, e.g. open with Default utiliy for that file type, or save file to local disk.
This does not seem to work on some websites however. In particular trying to download a .mkv file doesn't open the usual dialog and just fills my page with coding text that is way above my paygrade.
I am not at all familiar with .mkv and any quirks or individualities it may have, so I guess my initial question is, do I need some kind of additional FF plug-in to download this file type or is there a fault with the config of the websites involved?

[SOLVED] Many thanks for your prompt response. It looks like the problem solved as per your advice to Right-click on the link and selecting Save Link as.. rather than actually opening the linked page itself which, I think, was where I might well have been going wrong initially. Some additional info that may be useful for Xubuntu users - I opened Thunar file manager, navigated to the file being downloaded, Right-clicked and selected Properties and was able to monitor the progress and eventual completion of the download in real-time.
Thanks once again.

Ipod touch doesn't open itunes automatically

My wife and I are both noticing that when we plug our iTouches into our Snow Leopard OS computers that iTunes does not automatically open up. This is something that has only happened during the past week after upgrading the iOS/iTunes softwares.
We now have to manually open iTunes to allow syncing with iTouch to procede.

First I assume you mean go to iTunes Preferences/Devices not iTunes Settings/Devices
The box for preventing syncing was not checked. I left it unchecked.
Next I assume you mean go to the summary pane when the iPod is connected to the Mac and, yes, the check box for open iTunes when iPod is connected has already been selected. I left it checked.
Then you say go back to Settings (Preferences?) and activate the option NOT to sync automatically. I did this but I have to ask why - it seems counter intuitive. Furthermore, the option for autostart is not greyed out on my computer.
None of this has restored my ability to automatically open iTunes on connecting my IPod to the Mac. I still think it was a problem with the recent iOS/ITunes upgrades.

Mac doesn't show Ipod icon and doesn't open ITunes automatically

I really look for a good advice to solve this problem, the 2 Gb device is property of my 11 y.o. daughter.
The IPod Nano is two months old (Christmas), set up and installation went ok at the time. It works properly. Tonight I connected it to one of the Usb ports of my Mac Mini dual core but nothing happened. No icon, no ITunes opening.
ITunes is version 7.02 .
Thanks for help,

I click on icon in dock- opens the applications folder

When I click on an icon in the dock and get the applications folder instead.
Seems a bit odd, never had this happen before.
Doing a scan at the moment with ClamXav, to see if there's any weird's hanging about..

All icons?
Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Learned from leonie.

Application icon doesn't open

Today out of the blue Photoshop will no longer maximize a window minimized to the application icon.
I have tried resetting the .plist file and resetting Photoshop neither have solved the problem.
I can long click on the icon and see and open the minimized window like Expose but that's the only way I can maximize the window.
All other apps work fine. It's just Photoshop.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Please post the solution so it will help others, and mark this topic as "solved" so it is easier to track the status when browsing the forum.

Firefox won't open new tabs when I click, also he doesn't open new tabs when I use CTRL+T. Any solutions?

When I want to open a new tab, firefox doesn't do it. The problem is the same when I use CTRL+T. So I can't open any new tabs.
Nothing seems to work: restart the pc, closing firefox,...

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.
