Elements Dock Icon Won't Open Program When JPG is Dropped On It.

I'm running a trial of Photoshop Elements on my Mac (Lion)
The dock alias doesn't respond when I drop a jpg on it to open the file. This is exasperating and I'm praying it's just a missed setting but I can't find.
Many thanks for any ideas on what I missed.
---JP

Make sure the alias is linked to the correct file.

Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit. Now it just won't open. When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens! Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens

My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens. It doesn't bounce or anything. When i plug my iPhone into my macbook nothing happens either. I recently updated my operating system to the Yosemite. Everything worked fine until i updated it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

Program folder? In general backing up and restoring application folders is not going to work. Windows programs should be installed using the appropriate installation programs.

After dragging icons to dock they won't open

I just finished partitioning my hard drive and reloading it using the Restore function of Disk Utility. Now when I add non-apple application icons to the dock they won't open. Also they all look the same like a page with tools on it. I can open any of the apps in the finder window just fine. How can I get the other apps and documents back into the dock?
Thanks

I installed elements 12, it won't open, a screen pops up with options for e-12 and 4 other languages. When I click Elements 12 a screen pops up with a red install icon, I click it and it askes for the serial number. It won't let me type in letters only numbers. I already did the serial number once. How do I get this to work? I don't want to be a programer!

Help! Icons won't open

I have a problem recurring on and off where when I turn my computer on, none of the icons open. I have to manually shut it down with the button, Then, when I start up again there is often just a black screen, or the same thing happens where the icons won't open, or it starts a disc scan. So far, if I walk away and come back to it much later in the day, it will work again. Am wasting so much time, and I am am afraid one of these days it just won't be usable at all. I have a toshia satellite, just barely a year old, with windows 7 (which I loathe.)( Any suggestions? I have tried the geek squad and gotten nowhere.

Go to START/MSCONFIG and disable all startup programs (under the STARTUP tab) except your anti-virus. This is a possible error occuring from a memory leak in a background program, so this might assist. Please post results or any action you've taken in testing/resolving.

My mail icon won't open

my mail icon won't open but the bar goes across and i can't open my mail from there either. Also when it goes to the top of the screen it won't let exit it and i have to do a hard shutdown. can someone help.

With Mail quit....
Go to the User's Library folder. This folder is hidden by default. To unhide: Select the Finder in the Dock. Under Go in the Menu bar > hold down the Option key and you’ll see the Library.
• Go to Containers. Drag the com.apple.mail folder to the Desktop
• Go to Mail folder.
Select the V2 > MailData folder.
Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
• Go to Preferences. If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in
Open Mail. Mail will reindex your files.
Let me know if this helps.

I am trying to install a trail for InDesign CC to finish a project soon. I downloaded Creative Cloud, the app is in my folder, but it won't open and when I try to download InDesign an error pops up saying Adobe is trying to install malware.

I just installed Creative Cloud in order to download a trial for InDesign. I have the app icon for CC, but it won't open. When it was in my toolbar (on a mac) it just sat there loading for about 15 minutes. I tried restarting it but it won't open at all now. I also tried downloading an InDesign trail and it won't open at all. When I click for it to download an error message pops up saying Adobe is trying to instal malware and asks me if I want to continue. When I say yes, it doesn't do anything. I have a brochure that needs to go to the client by 4pm today! EEK!

Sydneybling it does sound like your security software is interfering with the process of installing and utilizing your Adobe Creative applications. I would recommend that you try temporarily disabling your security software and utilizing the directions listed at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install InDesign CC.

Hard Drive icon won't open and menu bar flashes off and on

All of a sudden, in the middle of the day, my eMac went haywire. I can launch apps and docs are one the desktop. But I cannot open the Hard Drive icon. If I double-click on it (or used Command-O from keyboard), the icon won't open. And when I attempt to open it, the Finder Menu Bar begins flashing off and on (vanishing, reappearing, vanishing) across the top of the screen. I haver rebooted, run disk utility to repair permissions, even booted from TechTools to run its diagnostics. But still no access to the Hard Drive icon. I logged out and logged in as a TEST user, and same thing happens even when logged in that way. Literally, this happened in an instant. One minute the eMac was fine, then this started. Anyone else seen this? -- david

If the problem exists in both your regular account and your Test account odds are that it is at the system level. You can try a Safe boot (hold down the shift key at startup) to see if there is a third party startup item or one of the optional Apple functions that is causing the problem. You could also boot from the installer disk and use the Disk Utility->Repair Disk function. If you have a utility such as Tiger Cache Cleaner which will do a deep cache clean you can also try that.

Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open

I have a new installation of Acrobat Pro, along with PS5. Computer is a mac w/snow leopard. Question is Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open - says PS must be open for it to work - but PS is open(and functioning fine). So how do I get Acrobat working?
Thanks

I opened an earlier version of a CS program (Illustrator 3). Acrobat seemed to find what it needed and opened. It now opens normally - even with CS3 applications closed.

Elements 11 organiser won't open

Wjhen I plug in my Nikon D300s the downloader won't open, but when my D80 is plugged in it opens automatically.

Typically Adobe supports only current version. So, I am not expecting you to get Adobe troubleshooting on your Premiere Elements 11 (non current version) issue. You can try, but....
Have you tried for another set of installation files and installation of them after an uninstall, ccleaner run through, reinstall using the new installation files?
https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
If you purchased from Adobe, you should be able to get another download of your purchased files from http://www.adobe.com and your Account/your Orders.
You can also download installation files from the following web site and insert your purchased serial number into them at installation.
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
Be sure to read very carefully "Note: Very Important Message" at that web site, otherwise you will get hit with an Access Denied message.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

All the best,

OK, fixed it. Found that iPhoto is now BACK in the App store.
Found iPhoto app in Finder and dragged it to Trash.
Downloaded iPhoto from App store and all now back working again.
Didnt expect to find iPhoto in App store as last time I looked it wasn't available.

Why Facebook app icon won't open? Just gives me a blank page

I believe that i've had this problem before, either restart your iMac, or un-download the app and remove the app icon from your dashboard and then re-download it.
