How can I open an app or file in finder with keyboard?

I rather using keyboard instead of mouse for everything but I dont know how to open a file/app using the keyboard, if I press Enter it opens the file's name box. Any shortcut?
Thanx
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

If you look at the menu bar items you will see some
of the more common keyboard commands. In the Finder,
under File, you will see Open and the keyboard
equivalent, which happens to be option-O just like
Wade said!
Thanx guys! Very nice observation, I will try to take a look at shortcuts on menu bar for different apps. Thanx a lot

    You should be able to open the zipped file by double clicking on it.

  • How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    You need the ACR 8.3 plug-in to open D610 NEF files.
    Check what Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw reports for the version number. 
    If it is something less than 8.3, update to the ACR 8.3 plug-in using Help / Updates from the Editor.  If that says there are no updates, then uninstall and re-install and try again.
    If it is already ACR 8.3 then the files are likely corrupted by using an obsolete version of Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with them.
    You can fix that corruption using a utility from the following webpage, where 14-bits is likely what you’d want to specify, and only use Nikon utilities that are as new as your camera:

    How can I open and listen to the PDF documents with audio in my iPad?

    You need to use a PDF reader that supports multimedia. Adobe Reader 10.3 does not. Adobe has not stated whether it will support multimedia in the future.
    In the meantime, you could buy an application that does like PDF Expert. Read about it here:

  • How can I open encrypted Microsoft access files on a mac?

    How can I open an encryted Microsoft access file on an iMac?

    As Office for Mac doesn't include Access, I'm not at all sure you can.
    You could try Open Office, NeoOffice or Libre Office (all free, open source) and see if their database applications can do it.

  • HT204382 hello somebody, how can I open/listen to yousendit file on mac? thnx

    hey guys  how do I open/listen to yousendit file on mac?  Thnx

    To me you have left out the critical information on how you are connected to this other Mac.
    Presumably if you can see the other Mac's drive you can start your iTunes with the option/alt key held down and guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file on the other computer.  That is starting from its library, not just using its media.  You do not do anything with preferences,  Do not touch those.  Many people make the mistake of thinking that is how you use media in another location.  You can point all you want but iTunes will not look there.  It will, though, start storing all your files you add to the iTunes library in that other location from that point on which will result in a fine organizational mess.

  • How can I open Page Maker p65 files?

    I am a teacher and I have many files in the old Page Maker p65 format.  How can I rescue these files?   I have the entire creative suite.  

    The last version of InDesign to open PM files was CS5 if I'm not mistaken and even then it required those files to be in PM7 format I believe. Short of downloading an older version as a trial and spending night and day to convert your files within the 30 day period I see no realistic way of resolving the situation. Ask in the ID forum for more details, since I'm really not sure about the version stuff...
