Clicking on thumbnail in iPhoto does not open image for editing/viewing.

Clicking on images in iPhoto 7 does not open large images for editing or viewing. No ? or ! shows, just blank white screen with all buttons active as if the image is ready for editing. iPhoto library is about 50GB. What I've tried: created new library and imported 20 photos, rebuilt library w/keys using last 3 items in list, rebuilt library using iPhoto Library Manager. Quit everything, repaired permissions via Disk Utility. Nothing has worked. Was working fine a few days ago with same camera, same settings, etc. Utterly baffling, would love other suggestions?

After installing yosemite iphoto does not open keep getting message"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up.

I am using MacBook Air with Yosemite OS. After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up. Could you please give me suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you

That's a bit vague, but you may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

I just downloaded iPhoto 9.1.5 from App store. Now iPhoto does not open. Mac is an OS X, version 10.6.8. What now? by Joan E

I just downloaded iPhoto 9.1.5 from App. store. Now iPhoto does not open. What now?

Same question.
Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

double-click opens Excel Office 2011 for mac without the document.
It should open the document in Excel 2010 for Windows.

In Parralells, choose the file you want to open.
Right Click on it and choose Properties.

Then choose Excel 2010. The checkbox below should be set to "Always use ... "

I made an upgrade to Mavericks and my iPhoto does not open, what should I do to recover iPhoto?

I made an upgrade to Mavericks and my iPhoto does not open, what should I do to recover iPhoto with all my photos?

what happens? What version of iPhoto do you have? For Mavericks you must have iPhoto '11 version 9.5 - if you own any version of iPhoto '11 it is a free update - if you own a previous version then you must purchase iPhoto '11 in the App store

Double click (or 2 finger touch) does not open event in iPhoto

When I double click or 2 finger touch on an event, it does not open the event. instead, it offers "Play slideshow" or "Make key photo". Also, when within an album, a double click does not enlarge the thumbnail. I am using iPhoto 11 and OS X 10.8.4 and the track pad.

That is not the normal way to double click on a track pad (although you can change setting in the trackpad control panel)
Double click is two (double) clicks in quick succession
a two finger click is "right Click" and the menu you are getting is the right click menu

Upon clicking Firefox icon-Firefox page does not open

Without any apparent reason, upon clicking Firefox icons, Firefox does not open. Appears the sign asking to wait on the screen, and the graphics for the icon being "pressed" but the page does not appear.
Thanks!

Make sure that "Match case" on the find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check mark.

IPhoto does not open with new Mt Lion

Just installed Mt Lion and cannot open iPhoto. Purchased iPhoto Library Manager and can add new photos and have my old library rebuilt but still cannot open iPhoto. This is the response I get when tried "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable". In iPhoto library manager iPhoto will not open with the option/command key pressed. Could not rebuild/open it in Time Machine. Suggestions?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Lightroom does not open photoshop using "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command.
Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them. The
“Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
Is there a way to fix this? I use this feature frequently.

In reply to DdeGannes:
What’s broken? -- The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
Was it working before? Yes.
What happens if you click? - Nothing.
Do you get an error message? - No.
