I double click to open mail but doesn't display

Task bar shows Mail open, but only way I can get mail to display is select "go to favorite mailbox" and select #1. If I close an email, the program disappears and I have to start all over again. Just installed Maverick yesterday.

Without system information and other details nobody can tell you anything. just saying "it doesn't work" is never a good way to ask for help.

Have to double click to open mail

I don't know if I caused it but today I am only able to open my mail by dou.ble clicking. I am new to Mac's & would love advice

Double-clicking what? The Mail application icon or the icon in the dock?
Perhaps you haven't actually quit Mail. A common problem with new users is just closing the window instead of quitting the application. If you do that, the application is still running. You may have to double-click to get the application to re-activate and open a new window.

Library shows original but will only display clip if double-click to open

I did some editing in PSE, lifting a couple of clips from one of the photos in iPhoto. When I look at the photo in the iPhoto library, it looks fine. However, if I double-click to open it, it will only display one of the lifts - not the original. Where/how can I find the original photo? It seems to me that if it is gone, it would not display in the library. Thank you.

Can you explain what you mean by "clip"?
Every version of iphoto has a Revert to Originals command.
How have you set up editing in Elements?

Yesterday i installed the firefox 6.0 on my windows 7 computer. When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. I opened the task manager and noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. I tried to start mozilla in safe mode but the problem remains. The only way to use mozilla in my computer is restarting the windows in safe-mode. Last thing: i already tried to reinstall the program. Please help me!

I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.

Just drag the divider line between the preview pane and the message list all the way to the edge so the preview is completely closed. Selected messages will open in a new window with a double-click or the return key.

Hi, try this...
If nothing is showing in the Toolbar at top, click the little gray oval at top right.
Right click or Control+click on the Toolbar, choose Customize Toolbar, drag the Send button to the Toolbar.

This is a follow-up to the above question I had.
Since i noticed people looking at the question, but no replies showing up, i contacted BC support directly with the same question.
I got a reply.
I did tests based on the reply.
Here is what is going on based on the reply.

I used to single click to open mail & now I have to double click. I have not changed preferences. Any suggestions?

I have always single clicked to open mail. Now I have to double click. I have not touched preferences or made changes. Any suggestions?

From where are you launching Mail? The only place, unless I've missed or forgotten something, you can launch an application with a single click is from the Dock. Is this what you're doing, or are you attempting to launch Mail from the Applications folder?

InDesign crashes every time you double click to open an .indd file on Windows system

InDesign crashes every single time you double click to open an InDesign file and has done so since replacement of the original version of InDesign introduced in the Creative Cloud launch. Does anyone else have this problem? I'd say it was unique to my system if I hadn't experienced the issue repeatedly on several different systems now. You have to relaunch InDesign which then opens the file from recovery, so it saw the file you tried to launch in the first place. This leads me to believe the problem lies with the file association registry of InDesign inside Windows systems. I find it unbelievable that this problem still exists and remains unreported and that a solution hasn't been implemented by Adobe to rectify the issue.
The double click is a fundamental tenant of opening files on a Windows system in the same way a single click is on a Mac. Does InDesign crash ever time a Mac user clicks to open their files, I think not.
Anyone got any ideas other than the obvious which is Adobe actually got their figure out and fixed it.
Cheers,
Pat Doyle

Hi Michael,
I'll give it a go. Don't really like messing with the registry on Windows boxes. Yes you can do it, but it can end up being a case of the operation was a success, but the patient died.
Just was rather hoping someone else had already experienced this problem and posted the registry tweak. Didn't want spend hours reinventing the wheel. Not because I'm lazy, but I have so many demands on my time that resolving a minor issue that effects me only seems like it should be pretty low priority.
The system I'm using is brand new, but the problem seems to have followed me regardless which may indicate that it is seated in my synchronization information somehow. Really don't know how that could happen as I'm not an Adobe engineer or have the remotest idea where to even start looking. So I think I'll mark your suggestion as the "Answer" and just learn to live with it.
Windows eh! Can't live with - can't live without it. I'm sure Mac can be just as temperamental. Just have to chalk this one up as being just another ghost in the machine.
Thanks for all the advice you have kindly offered, much appreciated.
Cheers,
Pat Doyle

Windows Server 2008 R2 clients can't double click to open Office files

Let me start by saying I don't know too much about Server 2008.
I have Server set up so desktop clients (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) can log in as their user on their own machines. On two of the client machines (mine and my bosses, I have admin rights on everything) a couple funny things are happening:
1. Can't open a Word or Excel file by double clicking the icon on the desktop. Error is as follows:
Excel
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB'. There are several possible reasons: The file name or path does not exist. The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
Word
The file Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.
and then
Word cannot open this document template. (C:\Users\(username)\...\AVWiz14s.dotm)
and then
Word cannot open the existing file. (Normal)
and then Word stops responding.
Note that I can open these documents normally from the start menu. I have determined this error has something to do with the server because I have tried a bunch of stuff on the internet, including an Excel hotfix, which did nothing.
2. Desktop icons flicker, rearrange themselves, and even disappear completely at times. I do not know what causes this, but I do believe this is a server issue.
3. I get recycle bin errors every time I log in, and every time I try to delete anything:
The Recycle Bin on \\intecserver\Office Employee Files\kneureuter\My Documents\My Videos is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?
Sometimes I get that error for 3-4 different directories.
What I've tried:
I tried reinstalling Office, and that made no difference.
I have the drive from the server "Office Employee Files" mapped to network drive Y:. I can open that and go to my account folder on there, navigate to "Desktop" and open the files from there, but not on the physical desktop on my
computer.
These files aren't shortcuts on the desktop, their permanent home is on the desktop.
Just to reiterate, if I moved these files into a folder on the desktop, they will open fine. If I open them from within Excel or Word, they open fine. If I open them from the server drive mapped onto my terminal, they open fine. Just can't
open them by double-clicking the file if it is directly on the desktop. Any ideas?
I logged onto my account from a different computer and double-clicking to open the files worked fine on that computer. Both computers running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Office 2010 Pro. So that limits it to this machine and my bosses machine.
Since you can't create a shortcut for something on the desktop, I created a new folder on the desktop and put the files in that folder. From there I created a shortcut and put that on the desktop. That worked!
However, that's just a band-aid. I need to fix this problem sooner than later.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hi AxEheaD15,
If the Desktop or the My Documents folder is redirected to a network location, Office applications may exhibit the similar issues .

Can't Alt+double click to open an image?

hello: Level: Newbie Id:Cs6 Os:Win8
i have read that Win8 is compatible with Id, Ps and Illy (i'm not sure about the other CC apps but i hope they are too)
however, while following a vid tut by Terry White ~ he directed me to click on an image and to then hold the Alt key while double clicking to open it in full(er) view but when i did this the image opened in Windows Photo Gallery
well, earlier i had gone to Default Programs and set Windows Photo Gallery as the default to open images ~ not knowing it would prevent Id from functioning or that it would override (apparently) everything else (yes, i am pretty new to OS's in general too) i did this b/c when i would go to my Pictures folders and click on an image to view it was opening in some AWEFUL program that depixelated (<is that a word?) /made my pics/images look just terrible.
so, i called Microsoft and the man that was trying to help me said that i had to go to "Associate a File Type or Protocol with a Program" and then i had to choose Each and Every Single File Type (.png, .jpeg, .tiff etc etc) for Each and Every Application (Adobe or not) and "Associate" that File Type with the Application i need for it to open ... um ... caugh caugh ... just a moment .... SCREAM!! uh, what? Really?
Dear goodness ... please say it ain't so!! please?? (lol)
so, is this really the deal? or does anyone else think i may have been directed incorrectly?
i went back to Default Programs to remove Windows Photo Gallery as the Default program but i am not seeing where that is an option.
i totally understand this isn't help for Windows8 forum but IF anyone has experince w/it and is willing/able to help me out i would also greatly appreciate any advice you may be able to lend. i do plan to go run around the net after i'm done here to look for (a needle in a haystack) help in a Win8 forum (yikes & wo is me)
oh, also the (nice) man at Microsoft couldn't tell me if i went ahead and did this rather Windows Photo Gallery would still open my Pictures or not or if it would return to that awful preview program i began with in the 1st place.
this was my very 1st time using InDesign and i would really like to start learning it. does anyone know why i cannot Alt+2's click & then have the image open like it's suppose to? or even how i go about telling Windows8 to please let Id ALSO open the files the way it wants?
sorry for such a long post. i have been through a nightmare episode just ordering my new laptop and now Win8 seems to be creating an entire season
thanx so very much in advance for your time and efforts. i will also continue my quest for answers and should i find 'em i will certainly return to share and post links.

hello peter
thank you so much for asking as i am quite ready to send my laptop back to where it once came
well, as i understand it there is a bug with the AMD Graphics card
when i try to draw a shape, add a new layer, use the alt key to "cut" the line of the pen tool the canvas goes totally black and i cannot use the filters or the 3D tools. also, the bg area behind the canvas changes from dark grey to black to transparent
all of the above are reasons why i saved for 3 yrs to buy a new laptop w/a decent graphics card and it's just totally bum'n me out
if i understand correctly it's an issue between the AMD and Windows 8 ~ so as of now i am thinking i should either send it back or get rid of Win8 and install Win7 but actually now that i think of it i dunno if Win7 will correct the AMD issue or not but i think it would.
at first i thought the issues were Adobe related and not as i seem to have found
my laptop is a Satellite S875-S7376 the gpu is an AMD Radeon HD 7670M, the hard drive is 1TB, i7, and it has 8GB ram, 64bit, Windows 8
i went to AMD's website and if i understand correctly there is a "fix" that is helping somewhat but NOT for Toshiba notebooks, Sony and Panasonic and AMD is no longer releasing updates every month but only when they feel they have good enough reason to do so.
i've been unable to find an idea of when AMD thinks they'll have a fix for Toshiba and i've only got under 2 weeks to return this laptop
i tried to install something called the AMD Catalyst or maybe it's ATI Catalyst Mobility but was told it could not be installed due to incompatible hardware/software on my computer
i just wish i could get back to work and decide what would be the best thing for me to do
i seem to be making some folks upset b/c i keep trying to chase down an answer/solution. for instance i didn't realize that the problem i am having is called Flickering and so i had posted again about it at photoshop.com and was given a lashing about how i was already told this and that.
i was also told that the solution is to just set Photoshop to Basic Draw Mode ... but that is my whole point as i don't want to have to use Ps in Basic mode as the entire idea of investing in a better computer was to be able to enjoy the bells and whistles
if you've got any ideas or you know of a solution or even if you've heard of one rolling on down the road i would greatly appreciate anything at all that you could share with me
sorry if i ramble a bit much i'm just frustrated beyond the point of clarity
thanx again so much for your time & efforts!!

Why does double clicking not open desktop folders?

After installing OpenOffice, my Mac Mini suddenly lost the ability to open desktop folders by double clicking.
Open Office does not have a de-installer that I can locate.
Please advise.
Thank you!

You may have to log out and back into your account, or restart the computer, for the system to work correctly after a software installation; at times one could also try other things in what may be an exercise in futility just in case something comes from any frustration and accidentally helps resolve any issue that may be in hiding...
The 'safe boot' and 'repair disk permissions' and other antics sometimes will work to scare the gremlins out of a testy Mac. Or, perhaps it really is as simple as the man says. Adjust the mouse/trackpad in system preference? Could be the settings changed and it may be trying to interpret your clicks too fast.
I'd not tried 'open office' but some time ago did try the NeoOffice version and it was OK. Then again, so was old AppleWorks back in the day; unless you require some kind of need to parrot MS Office regularly.
Good luck & happy computing!

Help! Can't use double click to open!

I need some help here. I can't double click to open anything on my computer. Not my HD, or anything in my HD. The only way I can open my HD is to click on my HD icon then go to File-Open. And to open anything in my HD I have to click on the item and then go to File-Open. I can double click open iPhoto, but once I'm in iPhoto I can't double click any photos to open them. Instead I have to click on the photo and then click edit.
Can someone please help?
TIA!

Okay, I did a search here and think I fixed it.
Went to Apple Menu-Preferences-Keyboard & Mouse-Mouse. Drop down=Dashboard. Left side Drop Down=Primary button and Right side Drop Down=Secondary button and Expose=All Windows and Scrolling Options=Vertical & Horizontal.
Hope this helps someone!

Double click to open photoshop

I've set photoshop as the application to open when I double click an image. What I can't figure out is why some images open at 72 dpi and others open at 180 dpi. I'm guessing one is the alias and one is the original????? How would I control this? Thanks.
Susan Lucas

I have the same problem in that I want my images to open in Photoshop CS when I double click on the file, but even when I've been working on them in Photoshop they just open the application, not the image. There's a brief flash of an image but it never opens. I don't appear to have iPhoto, so the previous answer appears not to help, and have just loaded Tiger and its latest updates (prior to re-loading Photoshop). The only way I can currently open images in Photoshop is thru the tedious "Open" menu within Photoshop, followed by a trawl through the file structure, or via the application's own file browser.
