Error message when double-clicking icon to open document, won't open

My documents will not open when I double click their icon. They will open when dragged to the application icon or from the application itself. I get an error message if I try to open by double-clicking the icon. This is for In-Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Is this a simple fix?
Thank you.

Select one of the icons in question and do a Get Info on it.
You will be presented with the standard Get Info window telling you, amongst other things, what the default program is to open the file.
You can also select "Use this application to open all similar douments like this".
See if that helps.
Normally the finder will do this for you so there may be other issues going on with your user preferences.

Error Message when Double-clicking a CS4 InDesign File; Won't Open

I recently installed CS4, upgrading from CS2. Before installing CS4, I could double-click the icon for the file and it would open in InDesign CS2. After installing CS4, when I double-click an InDesign file icon, I get an error message that Windows cannot open the file and needs to know which program should be used. I check the "Select the program from a list" and a window opens that lists several of the applications I have installed. Neither InDesign versions are on the list, so I "Browse" to the Adobe folder in which both InDesigns reside. I then select a version (it doesn't matter which one; neither work) but then it doesn't appear in the list and my "selection" reverts to the "recommended" Photoshop CS4.
I can understand if this function has disappeared in CS4, and we now have to open a file using the "open" menu item, but I can't understand why neither verison "sticks" in the "Open With" window.
Any suggestions? I'm using Windows XP SP2.
Thanks,
Lloyd

That's what I thought. I tried the folder options association trick at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2864550#2864550, which kind of worked. Now, when I double-click on an InDesign file icon, InDesign CS4 opens, but the file does NOT open. Looks like I'll have to reinstall, unless someone has an addition to the solution.
Thanks!

RH7 HTML - Receive IE script error message when double-clicking link to auto-size pop-up

Hi, all,
Anybody ever seen this situation? When double-clicking on a link to an auto-size pop-up, I get the following Internet Explorer script error message:
This error also occurs when I double-click the link in preview mode within the project. A colleague that is running the same version of IE with the same settings is not receiving this error. A couple of other co-workers are running a different version of IE, and one gets this error and one does not.
This error does not occur if you single-click the link (which you would normally do), nor does it occur if you double-click a link to a fixed-size pop-up. Once you receive this message and click Yes or No, the link sometimes works correctly when you double-click. I haven't been able to establish a pattern. Also, if you single click the link to display the pop-up, click off of it, and then double-click the link, the error does not occur.
As you can tell by now, this problem is kind of hard to pin down. I've done some research and I have yet to stumble upon anything that deals with this issue. Unless there is a solution out there, I can do one of two things: 1) change all of the auto-size pop-ups in the project to fixed-sized, which defeats the purpose of creating auto-size pop-ups, or 2) tell our customer not to double-click links.
Any advice you could give would be welcome.

Hi there
Indeed it has been reported on many occasions over the years. Unless someone like Willam has some way cool error detection magick with the scripts, the best approach we have always offered is this.
Educate your users on the way computers and HTML works. HTML works using SINGLE clicks, not DOUBLE clicks.
The reason for the error is because the first click caused the computer to launch a JavaScript command to open the sized popup. The second click that followed in rapid succession confused things by asking the script to stop what it was doing and run again.
Maybe it would help to explain it to your users like this. If you visited a restaurant and when the server asked what you wanted to order, would the become confused if you said to them: I'll have the T-Bone Steak and nearly immediately you repeated it by saying again I'll have the T-Bone Steak.
Cheers... Rick

I'm getting a "printer error" message when I try to print a document with a lot of scans in it. Any suggestions?

I'm getting a "printer error" message when I try to print a document with a lot of scans in it. Any suggestions?

OK, I tried a few things, and I do not understand the results.
1) I opened the document in Preview, and it would only recognize the three initial pages which I typed using the Pages App. It did not recognize the bulk of the text which I copied from Appleworks 6. It also did not recognize any of the scans.
2) I tried opening a pdf in Preview, and it would only recognize the scans. (No Text!)
3) I tried copying everything (select all, and command-c) in Pages, and then opened a blank Pages doc, and typed Command-v. This got me all of the text, but none of the scans!
4) I was worried that my Pages app might be corrupted, but I successfully converted a similar 78-page document with copied materials from Appleworks 6 and similar scans, ant this worked perfectly.
My conclusion is that my file must be corrupted. Is there any way to check this? shabda88

Error Message when I click on "Roles" Tab in BeX Portal New Analysis.

Hello,
When I go to the BeX Portal -> BeX Web Analyzer -> New Analysis -> Roles, I get the following error:
"Components XXX (version A) do not exist on the database
Components XXX (version D) do not exist on the database
Components XXX (version M) do not exist on the database"
When I click on the messages, the screen that comes up gives the following info:
"Diagnosis
You have attempted to open query XXX from the Query Designer. However, this query does not exist in the database in the system to which you have made a connection.
System Response
Opening the query was terminated.
Procedure
Make sure that you have connected to the correct BW system. Note: The query may have been deleted by another user."
But there have been no query deletions after the Role tab moved in.
Please suggest what could be the reason behind this. And what should be done to resolve this.
Thanks and Regards,
Labanya.

Labanya,
Try using table RSZELTDIR
This contains details on queies and all elements that make up the query such as variable, key figs etc..
In the error you should be getting a string someting like: D19UMFAK5JTYJ31B30BRGSQEU
In this table I would recomend just taking the first 8 or so cahracters of this string followed by *
ie: D19UMFAK* - in the ID selection field.
Hope this helps.

Weird error -43, when double-clicking a numbers document in finder

Steps to repro:
0) open a finder window at the location (e.g. ~/Desktop) you are going to save your numbers document.
1) create a new numbers document.
2) save the document to the directory (e.g. ~/Desktop) that you have already displaying open in the finder (<- very important)
3) switch to the finder and double click the numbers document.
4) I get a error -43 at that point.
5) To get around the error you have to change the directory to one up and then back to where the numbers document is or switch the view mode (cmd-1, cmd-2, cmd-3) .
Looks like the finder has problems with recently saved numbers documents.
Even weirder:
Press cmd-I on the numbers document in the finder after you just saved it. The numbers document disappears and so doeas the Information dialog. What the heck?
Can anyone else repro this?

Thanks for trying.
I tried as well, now saving to the desktop, which is on a seperate volume.
I had the problem saving to the work volume.
It seems to have to do with permissions.
I checked "Ignore ownership on this volume" and applied it to all subdirs.
Seems to have solved the issue.

Error message when right-click on desktpp

Hi.
I get a error message in Win 7 64 pro when right clicking on the desktop to get to settings saying:
"Debug Assertation Failed! Program c:\Windows\system32\igfxsrvc.exe File D:\Program Files\Mirosoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\ATLMFC\INCLUDE\atlcorn.h
Expression: 0&& "Release called on a pointer that has already been released" For information on how your program can cause an assertation faileure, see Visual C++ doc. on assserts

Then I click abort and the message goes away and up pops the settings (I've tried clicking both retry and ignore with no luck) . Highly annoying and appeared after I've installed my brand new x1 carbon with latest drivers and bios with Think Vantage System Update. Anyone know how to solve that??

Disappearing of error message when i click on f4 help

Hello all,
I've got a little problem with displaying messages in WebUI (CRM 7.0) .
when i do some wrong entries in assingment block and then i press enter then it display error message but
when i click on f4 help the error message got deleted from the ui.
I want error message to be displayed till entry is not filled with right value.
I have written this code in modify method of handler class.
lr_core = cl_crm_bol_core=>get_instance( ).
      gr_gmsg = lr_core->get_global_message_cont( ).
      gr_gmsg->add_bapi_messages( it_bapi_messages = lt_return
                                  iv_show_only_once = 'X' ).
      lv_object_id = lr_bp->get_object_id( ).
      lr_msg_cont ?= lr_bp->get_message_container( ).
      lr_msg_cont->add_messages(
                       iv_object_name   = me->tv_object_name
                       iv_object_id     = lv_object_id
                       it_bapi_messages = lt_return
                       iv_show_only_once = abap_true ).
Regards,
Nawal Kishore

Hi Nawal,
What is happening now is, the error messages are set to be displayed only once in the Web UI after the message is
added to the message container. In the next round trip these messages will get cleared since you have passed
the parameter 'iv_show_only_once' as true in both the add message methods. You should pass this parameter
value as false in order to retain the error messages on the UI across the round trips. You can simply remove that
parameter from the method as by default this parameter takes the value as 'false'.

Leon

SQL Server 2005 Error Message - when Right Clicking a DB Properties

Hi
We are running SQL Server 2005 SP03, we have x15 databases (excluding SBO-COMMON, RSP, Coresuite), all x15 databases have Maintenance Plans setup, tasks ticked:
- Shrink Database
- Clean Up History
- Back up Database (Full)
- Maintenance Clean-up task
These Maintenance Plans have been running for over 5 months now, we have recently changed our VMware Virtual Server over to a Hosted VMware Virtual Server, now when I right click on a certain database and select "Properties" I get the following error message with SQL Server:
Property Owner is not available for Database '[Turquoise_Moon_Live]'. This property may not exist for this object, or may not be retrievable due to insufficient access rights. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Could the Maintenance Plan be preventing me to run the Properties against a relevant DB (I have tested this by restoring a DB that doe not have a Maintenance Plan and the Properties works, tested this on SBO-COMMON and it works as well)
Can anyone agree with me or let me know what else might be the issue as I have checked the Server Roles & the Users Credentials for SQL and all seems well.
Regards
Kurt Walters

Hi Gordon
This solution did not work, but I needed to delete the Maintenance Plans anyway to set it for 1 month instead of 2 Months. I am thinking as we have changed Domains, were the last one was IS Domain and the new one is Hosted Domain, the security issues are probably coming from this (as I am able to access the Properties of the IS Domain SQL Server even with the Maintenance Plans running).
Any thoughts on correcting this as we have changed Domains? (I have created a user as HOSTED\example, the old one was IS\example)
Regards
Kurt Walters

Getting error message when I click "Buy Card"

Every time I try to click "Buy Card" I get an error message:
+A connection could not be established at this time.+
+Please ensure your network connection is active and try again.+
I tried both wireless and wired hook up to the internet and still nothing. Other pages open fine. I also cannot sign in to iPhoto's Photo Services with my Apple Id but I can sign in via the store. The iPhoto page says error opening page. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That message usually is due to problems at Apple's end. How long has this been happening? If it's only 1 day give it another day and see if it clears up.
You can try logging into your account at the Apple store and re-enter all of your information, save it and try again. Sometimes that will jump start it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Error message when I click on Aweber trackable links. Reset FireFox

I have been having trouble clicking on Aweber trackable links.
I get emails with text that has been embedded with a link to a web page. An example would be "Click Here" to read more. When I click on them, I always get the message:
"Unable To Connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at clicks.aweber.com."
It is only the Aweber links I can't open...all other links work. And, I have always used FireFox with no problems. About 6 months ago I started having this problem with just the Aweber links.
Even if the text that has been made hot is the actual link, I have to copy and paste it into FireFox...the link still won't work.
Can you tell me how to fix this?

Hi rmeserve,
Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. So far I read that there is an issue with links that have been generated from click.aweber.com, and it worked in the past.
One way to check if it is a cache and cookies issue is to try the link in a private window or on another computer. If this resolves the issue, clear the private data from the browser. Warning, this will clear browsing history and private data. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]
If the link still does not work on another computer, please check how the links are created, in the knowledge base for clicks.aweber.com. it looks like the links need "http://" in front.
To make sure that the links are not being blocked locally, it is also possible to check local firewalls [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]] and loading specific websites [[Firefox and other browsers can't load websites]]
Please let us know how this goes and we are happy to help.
