Help! Can't open any files....

I don't know if it is a coincidence or not but I downloaded 10.4.4 a few days ago and ever since have not been able to open any files. Double-clicking on anything on the desktop is greeted with a resounding.....nothing. Opening e-mails is impossible. Playing more than one track on itunes is impossible. It feels like the Mini has had a stroke, with only Safari being accessible. I have tried running a hardware test with the CD, but that won't open either. Restarts achieve nothing. Any suggestions? Or am I going to have to take it for repair?

Have you tried repairing permissions ?
If not, then go to Applications > Utilities, launch Disk Utility, select your hard drive (Macintosh HD unless you renamed it or boot off an external FireWire HD) and click on Repair Disk Permissions.
And if it still doesn't work, you might want to download and run a small 3rd-party utility such as Yasu which will perform maintenance/troubleshooting tasks such as clearing logs, system and font caches etc.

HELP! I attempted to erase free space and now I can't open any files!

Hi everyone! I hope you can help me with my problem.
Last night, I attempted to erase free space from my HD using disk utility. During the operation, the computer hung, so it wasn't able to complete 'creating temporary file' operation. So i had to stop the operation. And now, I can't open any files! Turns out my HD was full. But prior to my attempt to erase free space, I still had 25GB out of 55GB of free space. What happened? And how do I fix it? A lot of important files are in my HD and I don't want to lose any of it.
Hope somebody could help me. Thanks a lot!

Hi, Scary isn't it? I did the self same thing. Check your trash, you should see one or more disk images there. Empty the trash. All will be OK thereafter.
If they're not there, restart and either the system will sort itself out or they will appear in the trash, so empty it.
See here for my thread on the same subject.
Good luck,
Adrian

Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
If you can answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

Can not open any files CS5 Win 7 64 bit

I can not open any files in Photoshop. I can open them in Bridge or LR. If I open a file in Camera Raw and try to go to Photoshop, PS opens and just sits there and looks at me as if I opened the program only.

Is this a new installation that has never worked, or is this a problem that has cropped up recently?
In any case, there are two things you can do that between them have a very good chance of getting things working for you.
1. As a diagnostic, click Edit - Preferences - Performance, and uncheck (disable) the [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing setting, then close and reopen Photoshop. If this corrects the problem, then chances are good that your display driver needs to be updated. To do so, go to the web site of the maker of your video card (e.g., nVidia or ATI) and follow the links to the driver download that matches your hardware and operating system. When you've updated the driver and rebooted your system, re-enable the OpenGL Drawing setting (remembering to close and restart Photoshop) then re-test.
2. Clear all Photoshop preferences to standard defaults. To do this, press and hold the Control, Shift, and Alt keys IMMEDIATELY after cold-starting Photoshop from its shortcut or menu entry. If you're quick enough, it will prompt you. You'll need to go through all the preferences again to ensure any customizations you want are re-done.
Hope this helps!

[SOLVED] gimp can't open any files - probably an easy fix

I can't open any files such as .png's or .jpg's in gimp. How can I change this. I installed it via pacman. I don't know if this helps, but I'm running kde.

After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

Hello Rach Ryan
First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

That could be an indication your drive is failing. If you do not have a current Backup, that is top priority.

I have PSD cc, had cs6 ex I did update, can't open ANY files, reinstalled, same..dead programs

I work in PSD cs6 ex constantly, recently i updated to cc. Today I can't open any file, Recent, old, make a new, open from library etc, NOTHING will open, i request a file, programs act like they are deaf. They arent locked up, just dont open or create files. Everything on my com is updated. I uninstalled and reinstalled and same. Also I no longer can install cs6 just CC.

Even the term "I request a file" is ambiguous.
Please provide more detailed information. Ideally, show some screen grabs showing what you are seeing, and identify just what isn't working.
Best advice, based on no specific information provided, is to uninstall using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool / process to really get everything cleaned up, then reinstall.

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files...

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files, when I click on icon I get this message: the last time you opened Acrobat, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the window yourself. There are 2 options: Don't Reopen or Reopen Either choice leads to a window that pops upend says please wait while we launch Acrobat and then window just closes quickly.

Hi mbt6833,
You may goto control panel and then go to program and features.
Select the Acrobat pro and chose the option change from the top. Fallow the onscreen instruction a windows will pop up where you need to choose repair.

What exactly means "can't"? Can you open Reader by itself?
Try the following: using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader), then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

How can I open any file on my computer directly from firefox now?
I used to just click on File>open>(filename) ie any of my Open Office files,
Notepad files, or any other file on my PC. Don't seem to have this ability
with the new menu icon, or am I missing something.

hello cormact, you can customize the firefox interface and put the open file button into the firefox menu: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
or you can always open it with the keyboard shortcut ctrl+o....
