Have trouble double clicking on a second file to open

There are really two problems here:
1) If I double click on a file, it opens in Illustrator, but it does not open with my default workspace settings. If I open the file from the file menu, my preferred workspace opens.
and
2) If I have one file open, I cannot double click on a second file and have that file open in Illustrator. I just get the little spinning circle and then it stops. I can still open a second file from the file/open menu option.
We are using CS6 and running windows 7.

Brett,
The issues which you have mentioned points towards having some permissions issue on the system.
My suggestion would be to make sure that the user account which are using is Administrator.
Also, make sure you have full permission on the location mentioned in the document below:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
Here are the steps to modify ownership and permissions of folders and files:
1.       Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
2.       Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
3.       Click Edit, and then do one of the following:
·         To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click Other users and groups and, inEnter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.
·         To change the owner to a user or group that is listed, in the Change owner to box, click the new owner.
4.       If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the Replace owner on sub containers and objects check box.
5.       Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the following message:
          You do not have permission to read the contents of directory folder name. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control?
          All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.
Note folder name is the name of the folder that you want to take ownership of.
6.       Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.
Additional considerations
   ·         An administrator can take ownership of any file on the computer.
   ·         Assigning ownership of a file or a folder might require you to elevate your permissions using
Let me know if you need more help on this.

No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

Thanks Pat for your interest.
Actually I am using Windows 8 (Not 8.1) and Adobe Reader Version XI (11.0.06)
Now, the exact problem I am facing is that there are certain types of pdf files I am being sent which are Password pritected (it may not be a necessary condition, i don;t know) and after I have keyed-in the correct password, it flashes the message- "Double-click here to open your file". Now while using the earlier versions of Adobe (or maybe Windows) I used to see a peculiar Pin-shaped object on the screen, double-clicking which used to open the file. That object is somehow missing this time, so I have no place to double-click. Therefore I am not able to open the file.I may add that I have recently moved to Windows 8 from XP, so my knowledge of Windows 8 is not up to mark. Can you please help?

Unable to double-click or drag/drop files to open.

I'm running Photoshop CC 64 on a Windows 7 64 machine and am only able to open files in Photoshop by going to File->Open. Double-clicking from Explorer doesn't work and i can not drag/drop files into the open application window or taskbar icon. Right clicking on files and selecting "Open with" also doesn't work.
I checked file associations and made sure to choose CC 64. If I right click on the shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator" which I have to do in order to get files to open between Lightroom and Photoshop (both need to be Run As Administrator), I'm still unable to open from Windows Explorer. However, if I check the box to "Run this program as administrator" in the shortcut's Compatibility tab, I can double-click to open from Explorer but am prompted with a UAC warning every time. Dragging/dropping into the open app still doesn't work.
Opening between Bridge and PS works as expected so long as both programs are "Run As Administrator"
Been searching the forums here and seen suggestions of similar but not the same issue, at least not that I've found.
Anyone else experiencing? Suggested remedies?

This is an OS permission problem. Make sure you have ownership of the HD. Do a web search on how to check. External HD can be a problem for permission.

For some reason, I now have to double-click on my bookmarks on my task bar. How do I change it back to a single click?

In my bookmarks task bar, I used to have to just single click on the bookmark and it would open to that site. Now it seems that I have to double-click to get the bookmark to open. I want it back like it was - single click opens site. Please tell me how to fix this.
Thank you!

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!

"The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when double clicking on an ics file

Operation System: Windows 8 Pro
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Office: MS Office Professional Plus 2013
I am getting "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when I double click on an .ics file to an appointment to my calender. My outlook.com account's data file is set as default and this error only occurs if
that is the default data file. I thought that maybe my profile is corrupted. So, I opened up a new profile with the below steps and only add my outlook.com account there:
1-) Open up the Control Panel and go to Mail section
2-) Click "Show Profiles"
3-) Click "Add" and give a name to your profile.
4-) Configure your outlook.com account (with Auto Account setup, not manual steps)
5-) Finally, set that profile to be used always.
Then, I opened up the Outlook 2013 and clicked on the .ics file to add that appointment but got the same error.
Is this a known issue or specific to me?
Thanks!

yes, I have the same problem.
The workaround of saving the ICS file and then importing it into the current calendar
works,
but the ICS calendar
displays in other section, NOT in the section of my old events.
why ??

Problem in handling double click in the second alv grid control

Hi all,
I have a screen. In the screen , I have 2 custom container and each custom container has 1 alv grid control.
I need to handle double click event for both of alv grid controls in my screen.
I defined 2 local event handler class for each alv grid and defined 2 handle_double_click event.
In the first Alv grid double click works fine , everything is ok, world is peaceful.
But in the second alvgrid, the row parameters (E_ROW, E_COLUMN, ES_ROW_NO) comes initial so i cannot handle it.
All i need is to call a different transaction (displaying the equipment-IE03) when user double-click on a field in the second alv grid control. I tried to use hotspot_click event too but it does'nt give the row id either.
I read some posts in the forms ([Double click event of alv grid control|Double click event of alv grid control]).
I tried everything but nothing works.
Please help. Your answers will be appreciated.

Hello Eagle
I am not sure where the problem lies in your case but sample report ZUS_SDN_THREE_ALV_GRIDS_01 shows that you can always find out the current cell after the double-click event (in any case you have the current cell already as IMPORTING parameters of the event):

When I double click a CS3 Illustrator file in finder, it opens in preview, not in Illustrator CS4.
Is anyone having this same issue?
Is there a quick and easy method to convert to CS4.
I have 4000 ads, 3,000 are from freelancers that are CS3 or CS2.

Select a couple of .ai files and Get Info on the files. Go to the Open with line and set it to Adobe Illustrator. When it ask if you want it to do the same for this file type answer yes. The OS is probably seeing the file as a PDF and Preview by default is set to open PDFs.

Double-click running of video files has stopped working in Snow Leopard

Just updated to Snow Leopard and now I can't run QuickTime via a double click on a video file in an iPhoto 08 event. If I use Show File to bring up the Finder, then I can run with QuickTime X. Who wants to do that every time??
Anyone know the answer?

It's a bug introduced with SL. Send a report of the problem to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
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.

ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second page of icons, black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

I had this problem as well. This is what I found by searching online. I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked. I hope this helps you. Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings. Good luck.
It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings.
Double-tap to open Settings.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap.
Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on."
You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

Hi janfromliverpool,
It sounds as if you have Voiceover enabled on your iPhone. You can turn it off by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Voiceover. See this page -
Use Accessibility features in iOS - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

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?

The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is always talking. How do I make her voice go away and my IPAD work like it should.

If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither
