Help! folder will not click to open

Hi everyone,
I really need help. I hope I havent lost all my images from my macbook. I created a new folder called "Photography" and placed it under Places in the Finder. I then created sub-folders within that in order to organise my photos better. I dragged the images from the desktop over to their relevant sub-folder. It was fine two days ago. Meanwhile, I emptied my trash. Today when I try to click on the "Photography" folder in Finder it won't even click! It's akin to being greyed out in photoshop or something. The only thing that reassures me is that if the folder were empty i would at least be able to click on it and see that there is nothing in there. So I'm hoping something CAN be done. I have tried a trial version of Wondershare Data Recovery for Mac but it only brought up some files from years ago. I don't know what else to try. Please help me. I am running 10.6.8.

Easiest thing to try is a NVRAM/PRAM reset.

Do you have the OS 10.6 disk?

  • Since updating my imac 27" it will not let me open any of my programs and is saying to reinstall all, cant even get into safari. please help!!

    Since updating my Imac 27" 8 month old computer it will not let me open up any programs including safiri and iphoto. it is pretty much saying that i need to install all the program again, which i can not afford nor have the time too. can someone please help me be able to get it back to the way it was or help me to fix it so i can keep using it with this software update

    For starters, you could boot from the OS X install DVD that came with your iMac (insert the disk, reboot and hold down the "C" key after the bong). On that disk is Disk Utility; run that, choose the iMac's hard disk, and run Repair Disk. If errors are found and repaired, try running it again until it's deemed OK.
    If that doesn't help, try to get the OS 10.6.8 combo updater from Apple and run that. It will replace a lot of the Apple software that's already on your iMac and may refresh things so that they'll work.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes library can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. What to do? Please Help Me.

    My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
    Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

    I have an empty folder and 3 .jpg files stuck on my desktop.  When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password.  I do this but the files and folder will not delete.  I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked and I have full read & write access.  Grateful for any assistance in solving this problem.

    Back up all data.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the 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.)

    Hello ambluth,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you are not able to upgrade your version of iTunes. I found an article that provides steps on troubleshooting the installation of iTunes on a Mac computer:
    Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311
    There may be multiple instances of iTunes on your computer and if iTunes is not in the Applications folder, it may not update.  The article I mentioned earlier suggests to try this:
    Opening iTunes
    It's possible that clicking the iTunes icon in your Dock or double-clicking an iTunes icon on your desktop could open an older version of iTunes. Open iTunes from the Applications folder to be sure you are opening the right version:
    Double-click your hard disk.
    Double-click the Applications folder.
    Double-click the iTunes icon.
    If that doesn't work, follow the steps in the article from the beginning.  The iTunes application is stored separately than your music, so as long as you don't delete the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes Media or iTunes Music folder, it should not effect your music. 
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail.  When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open.  How do I fix this problem?

    I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail.  I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK.  I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open.  Need help on how to fix this problem.  I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

    It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • Some photo's in an events folder will not sync to my iPhone5

    Some photos I have in my "Home Improvement" event folder will not sync to my iPhone5. Out of 140 phots, 50 or so will not sync. I think it has something to do with the "descriptions". Is there a way to check if the photo is .jpeg or some other format and might that be the reason the phots won't sync?
    Any help is greatly apperciated!

  • I have one website that will not let me open the emails within in it?

    I am on a dating website Christianmingle.com Up until 3 days ago this site worked fine? All other sites within my internet are working and opening fine. Just this site will not let me open the internet information and emails within this site?
    After a couple of attempts I can get into the site. This is one problem that I cannot open this site like it is suppose to. Then when try to open information within the site it fills the work bar to about 90% then it just keeps working and nothing opens?
    I have tried the cookies, pop-up blocker, called the site for help and called Xfinity? They can do nothing? Maybe you can help me it has to be something simple?
    Let me know
    Thanks

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.
