I just want to open a picture in LR by double clicking on it in a folder.

I just want to open a picture by double clicking on it in a folder, why does Lightroom open the import dialogue, force me to close the dialogue, open Navigator, scroll down to the folder I already have open in Explorer, load the folder and then pick the picture I want? Does it have to be so complicated?

If my daughter sends me a picture of her road under 5" of snow, I really don't need to open LR to look at it, as I may look and dispose - I guess I'll have to set everything but Tiffs and RAW files to open in Photogallery or my old copy of Elements.
Exactly - Lr isn't really intended as a quick photo viewer.
Irfanview is a very good solution to that requirement.

Can't open InDesign and PPT files by double-clicking on them IN A FOLDER

PPT is MS Office 2004, all other MS programs ok. InDesign is CS4. Files are not corrupt, because they open on two more computers. The computer is brand new. I first installed Office, then CS4. The applications open, but the files don't open when I double-click on them IN A FOLDER. If I go to Open and select the file in the folder, then it opens. If I double-click on it IN A FOLDER, it doesn't open. I tried to do the Info panel thing, where you pick the program for the file, and that didn't work. Also, if I drag the file to the desktop, and double-click on it, it will open. A kind volunteer support person said there was an article about this in MACWorld in Dec. 2009, but I tried the suggestions and it still doesn't work. Basically, I need to use InDesign everyday for world, so this is a major problem.

I have a client with a similar issue regarding InDesign CS4. When double-clicking InDesign files on the server, the InDesign application will launch but the document will not open. Opening the document using the Open command in the File menu in InDesign works fine. This issue does not occur in any other CS4 application. To further complicate the matter, another user at the same location running the same version of the Mac OS (10.6.2) and CS4 does not have this issue. I have tried a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.6.2 and CS4 but the issue persists. I have tried creating a new user account and using the authentication credentials of the user that doesn't have this issue to connect to the server on the problem computer but still the issue persists. Prior to doing the fresh install, I swapped the hard drives between the two computers, but the problem stayed with the hard drive, not the computer, which is what prompted me to perform the fresh install.
Have you come across any new information?

Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot get directly to Netflix. I get a message about having to download Microsoft Silverlight. I can't get that to work and don't want it anyway. I just want to open Netflix and play the movies. What should I do?

You need Silverlight. That is the application that plays the Netflix movies.

I just want to open PDF's

I just want to open a pdf from my websearch,, WHY do I have to join a forum? How did I geth here from customer support?

No idea how you got here. You don't know?
So, now that you're here, maybe we can help?
Can you tell us whether you have Reader and if so, what version? What OS? What exactly you were doing when you had the problem (clicking a link to a pdf, opening one on your computer...etc) and what ended up going wrong (error messages...etc.)

HT5037 I followed the above instructions and after I choose the library I want to upgrade and hit continue it wants to open my iPhoto to convert, when I click yes it just gives me the original message and sends me back to this page. Am I missing something

I am trying to get photos off of my airport time capsule back up onto my new macbook pro. I followed the above instructions and after I choose the library I want to upgrade and hit continue it wants to open my iPhoto to convert, when I click yes it just gives me the original message and sends me back to this page. Am I missing something?

Is your Time Capsule being used for your TimeMachine back up? Or is it simply being used as an external hard drive?
To use a TimeMachine back up you must first restore it

With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window. Can I go back to just double clicking ?

With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window. Can I go back to just double clicking ?

Of course. To do it, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and untick "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows".

I cannot open a new browser window by double clicking Firefox icon or selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu.

I can open only 1 browser window and I can't open another or multiple windows by double clicking Firefox icon or selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu.
Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Thanks and regards,

Exe that will open a file when it's double clicked in explorer.

Can you make an exe with labview 6.1 that will open a file when it's double clicked in explorer.
I want to be able to save images with my own extension, and when they are double clicked in explorer my own exe will open and process the image.

It's easier in 7.0 or higher but you can do it with 6.1. Download the file at http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B123AE0CBBD5111EE034080020E74861&p_... and add this to your VI. Then you can associate a specific file extension with your app in the Windows Folder Options>File Types so that double clicking the file will start your app and pass the file name as a parameter.

I just downloaded the itunes 801 setup. When I double click on it, nothing

I just downloaded itunesSetup 8.02.20. When I double click on it, nothing happens. Running Windows XP on Dell Latitude D800. The hourglass starts then a few seconds later nothing.
This computer once had itunes but it has been removed. The itunes folder exists in Program Files but only contains itunes,resources.

Found a fix.
Based on reading other posts, I tried to remove other apple products, and for each got a message regarding "Windows Installer" was not working etc.
So downloaded updated version of Windows Installer from MS:

Just delete the files in your download folder regularly. Ten seconds once a week isn't too bad.
Although I have a question. It sounds like this is something you experience with attachments in email. Are you using Apple's Mail or some other program? I just tested opening an attachment from Mail and it did not save to my downloads--it just opened up in Word and disappeared when I closed it. If you're using a web-based email program, your attachments probably follow the default for any internet download, which is to put it in the downloads folder.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud. When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3. I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

I just want to open the top cover & make a copy.

I just want to make a copy on the HP Deskjet 2541, but the wireless button keeps flashing. I have not hooked up this printer to my computer. I just want to use it for making a copy right know. When I first plugged it in & hooked it up, I was able to make copies just fine. But all of a sudden the wireless button & control panel display lights keep flashing, and I cannot make a simple copy.

Hello @e60age,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the blinking light error state that you're experiencing on your HP Deskjet 2541 All-in-One Printer. Now, the blinking wireless light shouldn't be affecting your copy function. When the blue wireless light blinks it just means that your HP Deskjet is 'searching' for a wireless network. Because your machine is used as a standalone copier this wireless light status doesn't have any affect. However, the other blinking control panel lights may be indicating that there is an actual error state occuring on your machine.
Unfortunately, you did not indicate what other control panel display lights keeps flashing. Therefore, I will not be able to provide you with accurate troubleshooting steps at this point. Please take a look on your printer and verify exactly what blinking or solid lights you see on your printer as I will need to know.
In the meantime, you can take a look at the following support document: Blinking Lights
Once the support document opens please follow the steps that match the blinking light pattern you see on your machine.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should the issue persist be sure to include what lights are blinking on your machine. I look forward to hearing from you!

How can i backup my pictures from my macbook pro that doesnt let me log in? I just want to get the pictures i have in it, everything else is not important.

Last night i uninstalled Aperture from my macbook pro 13 inch, 2010. After i restarted my mac (as required) it didnt let me log into my account. I was only able to log into my guest account. Either way, my screen would flicker as if something was wrong. So now im thinking of doing a clean install but first i want to get my pictures. I do have an external hard drive 1tb that i could use.

See if you can get your hands on a firewire cable, and another Mac. If so, target disk mode should solve your problems.

I want to open online files, not download everything I click.

This question applies to both Safari & Firefox.
I search for online files to help me with school, could be PDF, PowerPoint, etc.
When I click on a file it just downloads them. I want to open 1st and see if I even want the thing.
With Windows, it would open and save in a temporary folder and I could save the file if I liked it. With my new Mac, it's just saving everything I click on then I have to go delete it if I didn't like it.
Any settings to fix? Safari and Firefox doing this.
I do have MS Office for Mac so when I click on these Power Points I do have the right programs.
Thanks in advance.

I tried the right click but it just opened a new window to save the file.
There has got to be a way to open the file online to a temp without saving it.
Just to clarify, with Windows if I found say a PDF I was interested in but not sure I wanted to download, my choices with Windows would be Open file using Adobe Reader or Save File.
I could open it without saving it, and if I didn't like the file it wouldn't be saved on my hard drive. (It would in a temp folder, but that got automatically deleted.)
With the Mac, I have to download everything I click on and then open the file and then if I don't like it, delete it.
