Double-Clicking JPG's doesn't work in PS7

Q. When I double click some image files in Explorer, or select Open With, Photoshop starts but instead of loading the file presents a New Image d/box.
A. XP/Win2k has put in a bad registry key used for opening that kind of file. If you feel *comfortable* editing the registry, you can find the bad key at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command\(Default)
For some reason, sometimes Windows XP creates this key the first time without "%1" at the end. Delete the (Default) entry, go to Windows Explorer, select a file type you want to open in Photoshop, right click, go to Open With, select Choose Program, click Browse (Photoshop won't be in the list after deleting the registry key), select your Photoshop executable, and make sure "Always use..." is checked.
If you do not feel comfortable editing the registry DO NOT DO THIS.
You can work around it by dragging the image onto the Photoshop main window background after Photoshop is opened.

Donald:
How does it look when you double click on it? What color mode is it? Color sRlGB or grayscale?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance. iPhoto doesn't not have to be closed to run it, just idle.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Single or double click with thumb doesn't work well on trackpad since upgrade to mountain lion

I'm using a 2009 MacBook Pro recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
The internal AND external trackpad behavior is disappointing compared to Snow Leopard. Neither one seem to register my thumb single or double click unless I do it pretty hard. For instance, selecting a word or double click to select a line.
A single finger works better but it's inconvenient to change years of training.
Sometimes I tap w/ my thumb on a button or link and it works and sometimes and I get no response until I use my finger. It's like the trackpad sensitivity is off. Single tap only half works.
I was really efficient with the old trackpad behavior and my thumb.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm the OP and I'm the one that listed the problem originally. I spent an hour with apple care and the genius level two guy suggested I wipe my whole system. LOL, for a 40MB app, yeah right. The issue with Safari 6 is javascript, according to yahoo javascript is turned off. If you try to change your classic yahoo mail to the newer version it will give you a javascript turned off error. So for whatever reason Safari 6 has javascript turned off even though it is clicked ENABLED in preferences. Crazy. I did find my solution though and that was to dump Safari 6 by giving myself "read and write" permissions and then dumping the safari chache, plist, and preferences files. Then I installed Safari 5.17 by downloading the dmg from the net using PACIFIST. I had complete directions but somebody at apple decided to delete the whole post.

Double click select all does not work in web site's search area after going back.

After updating from Firefox ESR v24.8.1 to v31.20 double click select all does not work in a search area after going back or searching again with the same input. It happens before clicking search icon and searching for something else double click select all does not work except it works for one word that's all.
This issue is with all new Firefox ESR and None ESR I have tried. Also the issue is on all web sites like www.softpedia.com for example.

Bugzilla has a different login system, unfortunately.

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

InDesign CS4 can open .indd, .indt and .inx files from earlier versions, but not from later. It should, however, be able to open .idml files saved or exported from newer versions, with the understanding that unsupported features will be lost, text will probably reflow due to differences in texts engines between versions, and that the greater the gap between versions the more likely there are to be noticeable differences from the original. You will need to be sure CS4 is at version 7.0.6 to read the .idml.

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.

Double clicking on file doesn't open file in Photoshop

I've tried all the well-known fixes for this and they don't work. I'm on a Power Mac G5, 2MHz, running OS X 10.4.11, and Photoshop CS. I've been through the fixes for "can't open in Photoshop from double clicking file on desktop"-reinstalling Photoshop, reinstalling, then trashing the new Photoshop, and physically moving "Adobe Unit Types" into the "Scripting Additions" folder. There was a time when that worked. not any more. What happens now is: I double click on a Photoshop Tiff file, never touched by Preview. Result: the OS opens the file in Preview. So I trash all copies of Preview. this is driving me crazy. Try again. The OS, this time, opens the file in Colorsync Utility! I've never heard of it. So I trash all copies of Colorsync Utility. Try it again. The OS opens the Photoshop file in Illustrator. It appears that no power on earth will force the OS to open the Photoshop file in Photoshop. nothing will work. Can anybody help?

Birck - as the others say you don't need to and shouldn't trash the other programs - I would recommend re-installing them asap. What you need to do is find the PS file you want to open and do a right-click over it and select 'get info' then find the 'open with' drop down menu and choose Photoshop. Once selected also click the 'change all' button below and close the get info window. Now all your PS files should open in the correct program :)

Edit - oops didn't see this had already been answered - hope things are working better for you now.

I got Mavericks and now clicking my mouse doesn't work in many apple programs, is there anything I can do to fix this, and is Apple working on a fix for it?

Clicking buttons doesn't work in calendar, preview, or updates, and it also doesn't work in fullscreen videos viewed on youtube. Right click seems to work like a left click, but not for everything. Clicking the mouse works in other programs.

Netflix is still running fine on my system. In terms of Netflix issues I think it has to do with certain server impementation and the ATV and both companies would need to provide a fix to resolve this issue for the users experiencing them.

Double click for new tab dont work

When I hidden the menu bar does not work double click on the tab bar to open a new tab. What it does when you double click, is to restore or maximize the window depends on the status of this.
If I shows the menu bar, go back to work.
I have the latest version of Firefox 4.
Thanks.

Try middle click instead of double click

Double-Click Home Button Hasn't Worked for me since 1.1.1 upgrade

Hi all,
I've been waiting around, sort of wondering if anyone has the same problem as I do. With 1.1.1, on of my favorite features I was excited for was the double-clicking of the home button. But this feature works far from properly on my iPhone.
When playing music, double-clicking the home button does display the iPod controls, and that's nice. And when locked, the home pressed twice also correctly shows the iPod controls. But the features that work properly stop here.
When set to the home menu, double tapping the button causes absolutely nothing to happen. I've tried it many times. Making sure music isn't playing, making sure the switch that says "Show iPod controls instead when music is playing" is turned off. I wanted this feature so bad I've done 3 software restores and nothing.
The same goes for Contact Favorites. What's interesting is that if I have the phone unlocked (and I can be in any app) and the double-click setting is set to show Favorites, I can double-click the home button and it will show the favorites. But never when locked. The only double-click feature that works from the locked screen is iPod controls. And the iPod controls like to show even when it's not set to nor pending music playing.
Is anyone else out there having these issues? I'm out of ideas of how to fix it.

If I'm following corectly it sounds like you've done a bit of trouble shooting yourself. Can you take it to an Apple store an let them check it out?

Double-clicking to open files stops working after opening lots of files.

When I double-click a file it will open the file in CS6 version 13.0.1, but then after a while double-clicking will no longer open jpeg or raw files. I can open the same files by going to File > Open in the Menu Bar.
When I am simply opening downloaded files from my camera, I can open 200-300 by double-clicking with no problems. However, at times when I am working on an image, it is not long before I can't open a file by double-clicking. It will open a blank Photoshop window, but without any Toolbar or Menu Bars.
This happens on a regular basis. Sometimes, also, Photoshop is slow to Quit, for no apparent reason.
Is anyone aware of this problem?

Still having this problem.
If I open a jpeg and just change the name, then Save As to a folder, I can then open another jpeg by double-clicking.
However, whenever I open a jpeg and make changes to the image in Photoshop, then Save As to a folder, I can then no longer open a jpeg by double-clicking. Photoshop will open, but the jpeg will not open.
Since this only happens after making changes to a jpeg in Photoshop, it seems to me the problem is with something in Photoshop, and has nothing to do with my OS.

Can't change blog entries date - double clicking in date field doesnt work

I've read some posts here that you can't manually arrange the order in wich your blog entries appear, but you can change their dates, so that iWeb will always show from newest to oldest.
The thing is when I'm at the entries pane and I double click an entry's date field, nothing happens. I simply can't edit their date (wich means I can't rearrange them, I'm stuck with the order I created them).
When I double click their title I can change it, and if I press TAB it simply focus out of the editing pane, it doesn't move to the date field.
Any ideas why this is happening ? Im using iWeb 09 (3.0.1)

Found the solution! (I'm using iPhoto 4, BTW)
I click the film roll once.
I highlight the date field and change to my preferred date (MM/DD/YYYY format).
I hit "tab" or "enter" once.
I close the iPhoto window!
iPhoto quits, which is awkward, but when I reopen it, the date is set, and sticks.
If anyone else has this problem and has not migrated to the new iLife, this should do it for them!
