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.

  • Option-double-clicking for docs has stopped working after iOS 4.0.1?

    Hi,
    I've just installed the XCode 3.2.3 and iOS 4.0.1 SDKs and now the auto-linking to the documentation has broken. It works about 50% of the time, and quite randomly as to what it can or can't find.
    The documentation is up to date, as I can always find the method/type name manually. Is there a way to force a rebuild of this linkage? (I've tried rebuild code sense index)
    Thanks
    Steve

    It works about 50% of the time, and quite randomly as to what it can or can't find.
    Looks to me like it never finds methods declared in protocols, e.g. - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching: ...
    Also, it looks like there's problems with ambiguous method names, e.g. [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: ... which will take you to NSArray's documentation.
    No, I have no idea on how to fix this.

  • Clicks stop working after opening iPhoto or App Store

    Everything works fine until I open iPhoto or the App Store (could happen with other apps, but these two for sure) then "clicks" stop working, My cursor moves and some items highlight, but nothing will "click"... I can't select photos, can't click on Download button, can't click to All Events, etc. Tasks can be accomplished with keyboard shortcuts. In App Store, I can't even highlight to try to click. Once these apps are opened, mouse clicks no longer work in other apps.
    I've tried switching from Magic Trackpad to a Logitech Nano mouse; same thing happens.
    Using Mac Pro & Mavericks. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
    exec bash
    in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
    8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Batch of .MOV stopped working after moving around some files?

    I had a collection of .MOV video files (which were working fine) on a Mac Pro station, imported them into FCP 7... Still working fine.  Then, decided I wanted them on my External Drive so I copied everything over to my external. Moved the originals into a new folder on the desktop (to organize).  Then when accessing my FCP project on my MBP via the external realized that half of them werent working anymore and showing a white screen in the viewer?  So I tried to open one in quicktime from the finder to get the error "this file could not be opened"??  So I go back to the original station and now its saying that they cant be opened on the original computer??!   I have no idea what I could have moved that would kill over 30 .mov files????  PLEASE HELP ):

    I don't suppose any of them (or all of them) were saved as "reference movies"?  That might explain it.  From the Save As… dialogue in QuickTime:
    Save as a reference movie
    Any external movies will be required to play this movie.

  • Quicktime AVI files stop working after upgrade to leopard

    i have a white 2.0 13" macbook - ran tiger, upgraded to leopard - when i pulled my info off the external - any video file that ended in .AVI basically crashes the finder - this includes trying to play them from the external drive it self - oddly all of my files were locked, which i did not do -and time machine says i cant use my simple tech drive as a backup because i do not have access to a certain file - are these problems related?- everything worked perfect in my macbook pro - anyone know anything about this?

    I did un - lock them, one by one, when i plugged in my new macbook into my external, most of the library and a bunch of other random files were locked from the previous back up i did from my old computer - now when drag over any file ending in .AVI to the new macbook, they crash the finder and do not open - every other file type worked fine as far as i can tell- very odd. These AVI files are just short video files that quicktime used to play on my old machines - they come out of my digital camera - quicktime made itself the default player for them and worked great on three other macs i have owned ,which all ran leopard - its so confusing!!!!!!!! - is there a codec or a plug in maybe? - did i install leopard wrong?

  • Dng files not working after opening it once

    I have a Parrot Bebop drone and took photos in the DNG format. I can open the DNG images only once. It opens in Photoshop RAW, I change some settings and crop the image. Once I press the "Done" button, I can no longer open the DNG file and Photoshop just says the file format is not supported!?!?!?

    If you can give us the Camera model, DNG converter version Camera Raw version and other information, it will help us chase it down.
    As a starter, be sure Photoshop and Camera Raw are updated.
    Also look at the list below:

  • Help w/ fixing my broken ipod touch. I have to double click on an app in order to open it, can't leave the home screen, apps don't work!

    I'm not sure what happened, but I can't leave my home screen unless I press n hold an app and move it to another page, then when i press the home button so the apps stop shaking I can stay on another page. Other than doing it that way I can't scroll from one page to another. When I click on an app a thin box appears around it, not only with apps but when I click on the time or battery or ANYTHING! In order for me to open any of the apps I have to double click on it and then when it opens I can't do anything in the app. Even when I went to settings to see if there was something in there to fix this problem I can't go anywhere or do anything. Someone please help!!!

    Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
    Anyone help you with your fix yet?

    CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time.  Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working.  I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's.  Is there a way around this?  Is there a patch to correct it?

    To build CD's???
    What problem does Encore have with DL?
    If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

  • Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

    I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
    I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
    So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
    I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
    Details -
    4th Generation
    I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
    I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
           (e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
    881 MB are still left
    Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

    I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
    1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
    2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
    3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
    all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
    4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
    5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
    6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
    If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
    7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box  "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
    8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
    9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
    10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
    Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

  • The inspector stopped working after update

    The inspector stopped working after an update. When I click on the inspector button it says "An unexpected error has occured. Please quit and reopen Keynote." Quitting and reopening Keynote does not fix the problem. Inspector does not work in Pages either (it doesn't do anything when I click on it), but it does work in Numbers. I also am having problems opening files created in Numbers before the update.

  • X121e touch pad buttons stop working after a while

    Hello everyone,
    I have a lenovo thinkpad x121e.
    The buttons above the touchpad (for right and left clicking) and also the trackpoint stop working after a while (about 45 min). Although the touchpad itself works without problems.
    If I reboot the operating system (Windows 7, 64-bit version) everything works fine for a while and then the buttons and trackpoint won't respond again.
    It is always the same routine. Rebooting windows, everything alright, stop working, ...
    I am using the newest driver version and de- & reinstalling of UltraNav haven't solved the problem.
    Has anyone an idea what causes my problems with the touch pad buttons and how to solve it? (I guess it's not a hardware problem.)
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi again, li-lup
    I would recommend trying to use the standard Synaptics driver found here. Synaptics is the company that develops the UltraNav software, so there should be no loss of compatibility/features. I have witnessed several cases where this driver has helped others with mouse issues, so it may help yours as well.
    The first thing you will need to do is to remove the UltraNav driver from the system. To do this, open the Start menu and type Device Manager into the Search box, and then press Enter. Once here, double click on Mouse and other pointing devices, and then right-click on the UltraNav device. Naviage to the Driver tab and select Uninstall... from the bottom of the window. Follow the prompts to uninstall and then restart when prompted by Windows. Windows should install a generic driver that will allow you to use the TouchPad when downloading the Synaptics driver. 
    Hope it helps,
    Adam
