Double click won't open apps, files, etc.

We have one computer with multiple users. When I log in (sys admin) I have no problem. When wife logs in double clicking will not open anything. We have to do it manually. I'm sure a button is turned off but I can't find it. Any help out there?
Many thanks!

Open up the Keyboard and Mouse system preferences and make sure the double-click speed is not set too fast. If it is too fast, it doesn't register the double-click unless you click very fast.

  • Double click won't open folders/files/albums

    To open files or albums on my macbok pro I have to right click instead of double clicking.
    I recently reset my pram settings due to my trackpad not working.

    Hey Supernatural_Impala,
    Thanks for the question. When you are attempting to open these files/folders, are you physically clicking? or tapping to click? If it is the latter, let’s check your Trackpad settings in System Preferences to see if “Tap to click” is disabled.

    We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

    The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used.  Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash.  If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first.  Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
    P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control.  Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

  • Were can i setup the double-click speed to open apps?

    were can i make a setup of the mouse-click-interval?
    i have problems to open a app, if i dont got the exakt double-click speed.

    You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
    In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
    If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
    Do this from the Windows Desktop:
    If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
    Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".

  • Double clicking won't open files

    Since installing new Snow Leopard update I am unable to open icons by double clicking. I have to right click and then choose open. Same problem when trying to open bookmark links in Safari. Thanks

    This FAQ relates to Photoshop 7 through CS4, so it may be worth checking wheter it applies to CS5 for this very same issue too:

    Double-click/Drag-&-drop Photoshop files opens application but not file…
    Note the last part about the missing "Adobe Unit Types" file in the Scripting Additions folder of the root level Library.
    Another solution courtesy Anne Shelbourne
    Open your Previous System folder.
    Find "Adobe Unit Types".
    Copy it into: <Your current system Hard Drive>/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
    Then reboot your Mac.
    However, if you happen to be running a non-English version, like Photoshop CS CE or Photoshop CS ME, it appears the missing file does not get installed. You would need to install and delete the international English version first.
    I'm just speculating that this may apply in CS5 too as I don't have this latest version of Photoshop.

  • CS5 - Double clicking won't open files at times.

    This randomly happens with both jpegs and RAW files.
    Going to File > Open, opens them every time.
    Why don't my photo files open every time with double-clicking?  This does not happen with my CS3 and does not happen with any other type of files.

  • Double-click no longer opens PDF files after 9.3.2 update

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on both my desktop and my MacBook. On the desktop, the update to 9.3.2 went without problems, on the laptop however, I'm running into problems:
    When I double-click on a PDF file, the Acrobat application opens, but the document does not open in Acrobat. If Acrobat is already running, the document also does not open in Acrobat. However, if I use the File>Open menu item in Acrobat, the documents open without any problems.
    I've tried to repair Acrobat (which on the Mac dos not seem to do much besides reporting that the no repairs are necessary), and I've also fixed the file system permissions.
    Anybody else having these problems? Or, even better any tips about how to fix that?
    Thanks,
    Karl Heinz

    Thanks for the tip, but that did also not fix the problem. I ended up removing Acrobat 9 from my system and reinstalling it and all the updates up to 9.3.2. It's working again.
    Thanks again,
    Karl Heinz

  • Double-click won't open photo in new window

    so double clicking a photo in my library used to open it in a separate window where i could have a closer look or edit the photo, only, now, when i double-click a photo, the separate window opens, flashes the photo for a millisecond and then appears and remains blank. anyone had this issue before? know how to fix it? happy days!

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

  • Double-click won't open Word document

    Weird thing: I received an MS Word document (.doc) as an attachment, and it will not load by clicking or double-clicking on it's icon. I can open it, if I go to Word and issue the "Open..." command. The file's name was a bit odd, so I removed the "#" character in renaming it. Now it opens fine when double-clicked. What gives?

    I found several references implying that # is not illegal in Windows. I am not sure why you encountered what you did, but I have encountered others having problems with Windows file names containing no apparent illegal characters. I think I'd just forget about it.

  • Double click won't open folders on desktop

    Hi McFriends-Have new MacBook Pro, 2.2 Ghz, 15" screen, latest OS X 10.4.10. Has worked fine for few days. Now when I try to double click to open a folder on desktop it won't open. It will open if I right click and select "open." Also image of hard disk is now on the bottom part of screen on right side below folders when I reboot. Disk utility and Tech Tool Pro say no problems found. Works normal to click once to open applications in the finder. Am I missing something obvious? Puzzled......any suggestions? Thanks!!!

    For Mac mice, did you go to SysPrefs and play with the "Mouse Click" settings?
    For third party mice, there might be a PrefPane in SysPrefs that will allow you to re-establish your clicking scenario.

  • Double Click no longer opens apps

    Since updating to Mavericks, double clicking apps no longer opens them. I have to use ommand + O. Anyone else having this issue or suggestions on how to fix it?

    Thanks for your response, macjack. I did check my settings yesterday and all seem to be set correctly. After reading an article on the subject, I also rebooted my Mac in Safe Mode and tried launching an app from the finder with my bluetooth track pad. It will not work either. The article suggested that if this were the case, it could be a software issue.
    In fact, all the one- and two-fingered click and point features are sticky. I have to highlight a word (by dragging across it) and then two-finger click to look up spelling options, Three-fingerd click to look up dictionary definitions is working fine. Ah, Mavericks.  
    And thank you  for the permissions info. I looked at the log and, yes, it said the repair was completed. Very helpful.

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

    I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do.  I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
    I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files.  Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
    I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
    Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error.  Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
    1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible).  I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
    2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
    3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
    4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
    5) Re-install Photoshop
    After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file.  I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue.  It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator).  But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution.  Hope this helps!
