I can't access and/or see Finder?

I suspect my issue is due to either installing OS X Lion this weekend or software update to Firefox. I can click on Finder, and see the various open windows when right clicking on Finder and selecting "See all Windows". However, I can't actually cick on any of the open Finder windows to go to a folder or file.
Has anyone experirneced this issue, and how did you resolve your issue?

I was able to resolve my issue by doing a force quite of Finder, and then everthing came back to normal.

Clarisworks, you need Appleworks, which will only work with Mac OS X10.6.8 or earlier. See this tip if you must go newer. Mac Pros with newer hardware configuration than July 20, 2011 can't use Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier without this tip and then it would be Mac OS X Server. I'm not sure if the new black Mac Pro supports that configuration or not.
iPhoto, there is an iPhoto for all versions of Mac OS X.
iTunes, there is an iTunes for all versions of Mac OS X. Note with iTunes versions 11 and later, which are needed for syncing with iOS 7 or or later, you will lose coverflow, if you liked that feature. Sadly you can't run an older version of iTunes from within Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
Sketchup: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107 shows the versions that will work with intermediate Mac OS X versions, and this shows the latest version: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208 be sure to click on the operating system you choose to use.
GIF - Viewing GIFs Apple's Preview can do that. Editing them, I like http://www.lemkesoft.com/ Graphicconverter.
DMG is able to be opened by all versions of Mac OS X. This are just "disk images" which store programs on a virtual disk that will open when double clicked. Frequently you'll find the installer of the said program inside. To find out if the program itself is compatible with 10.7 through 10.9, see http://www.roaringapps.com/
Otherwise see the resources on:

How can I access and use the alphabetical keyboard of the phone ?

How can I access and use the alphabetical keyboard of the phone ? I cannot find the answer in the manual of use. Thanks for your help !

Recently I was abroad and tried to contact my voicemail to check my messages. I was asked to enter a password and did not know how to use the letters below the figures on the keyboard. I had to give up and wait until I was back in my country (no password is then needed).

Contrary to what Geeks on Hugs is telling you, Mac OS X does indeed have a basic malware scanner. It is not a feature that is directly accessible to the user, and works a bit differently than every other malware scanner out there. Gatekeeper, which has been mentioned here, is entirely separate, and provides a different method for helping to protect you against malware.
The anti-malware scanner in Mac OS X is called XProtect. When you download an application (or any other kind of executable code), it is automatically "quarantined," so that when you open it you're asked if you really want to do that. I'm sure you're very familiar with this aspect of Mac OS X if you have ever downloaded any apps from outside the App Store. What you don't know, though, is that each time you try to open a new app, that app is checked by XProtect. If it is identified as malware, you will not be allowed to open it, and will be warned that it's malware.
At this time, there is no known malware that can infect a properly up-to-date Mac. All current malware will be blocked by one or more methods.
For more information, see my Mac Malware Guide.

Why doesn't Photoshop touch ask for access to local photos on my iPad so I can grant access and edit?

Why doesn't Photoshop touch ask for access to local photos on my iPad so I can grant access and edit?

That's odd. Does this mean that you want to have the request or that you can't see the photos even though you enabled it over the privacy/photos?
If you enable it - it's not necessary to get the request. If you want the request the safest way to get it back is to reset the privacy settings by going to iPad settings/General/Reset/Reset Location & Privacy

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

plz give me solution.

The solution would only work on MS IE browsers, as other browsers do not support an XML DOM.
It can be done, but you would be stuck with using the Microsoft broswer. If that is acceptable, I have some example code, and a book recommendation.

You can see some of it on icloud.com from your computer. You can see all of your iCloud data on your iPhone from within the apps that you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, etc.).

Browser can resolve, access, and display JPEG image, but ImageIcon can't.

I've got this weird problem that only happens with images accessed through a customer's VPN:
Microsloth Internet Imploder can resolve, access, and display a JPG image from a VPN URL, in the general form:
http://intranet/part?FOOBAR.JPG which the browser apparently transmogrifies into
http://mogrify.foo.com/images/scripts/cgi/detail.cgi?FOOBAR.JPG(as Jack Webb often said, the names have been changed to protect the innocent)
Firefox can also resove, access, and display the image.
But an ImageIcon, when fed either URL, quietly fails to get anything, No errors, no exceptions, but no image, either.
The application, if it detects the failure of ImageIcon to come up with the image, somehow (not my code) defers to "Windoze Image and Fax Viewer," which locks up trying to resolve, access, and display the image.
What could possibly be going on here?

I'd love to have the luxury of saying, "You lost me at Windoze." Then again, to paraphrase a running gag from Airplane!, it looks like I picked the wrong week to quit hemlock.
As my final message on my other thread on this topic indicates, the problem is that even though the URL ends in JPG, the server isn't really serving up a JPEG, but rather, an HTML page containing the JPEG.
Knowing this, a solution (of sorts) presented itself: if the URL doesn't produce a displayable ImageIcon, try constructing a JEditorPane on the URL. The results aren't exactly pretty, and you do have to try the ImageIcon first, but it does work.

Can i access and edit photos direct from finder rather than import and duplicate in iphoto?

Hi, I have tens of thousands of photos so would rather not duplicate them in two places and eat into my storage. Is it possible to access photos saved in My Pictures direct from iPhoto without having to import them directly (and therefore duplicate them) into iPhoto? Any help appreciated! Thank you

Yes but you don't want to.
It's called running a Referenced Library and you can read about the issues and pitfalls in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
Frankly the better way to work is to import them to iPhoto and let iPhoto copy the files. Live and work with it for a while and when you're content trash your pre-existing filing system - it's of no use to you any way. If you use iPhoto (or similar apps, like Aperture, Lightroom etc) you access the photos via those apps and not the Finder - the point of using a Photo Manager after all.
If you have a folder tree or pre-existing organisation structure you can recreate it quite quickly in iPhoto. For instance:
If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.
