Photos Won't Enlarge When Double Clicked

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the photos I've imported to my unpublished iWeb site will only enlarge when double clicked when the site is published? Do I need to be associated with a web browser for this to work? It's driving me nuts. Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions. Yes, photos placed on iWeb's Photos template page only enlarge when published and viewed via a web browser. (The Slideshow also will only play in a browser.) Note that photos on other template pages will not enlarge when clicked — unless you've set up a hyperlink to do that.

Photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on. they fill the screen and then screen goes black. hasn't happened before. thanks--

photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on. they fill the screen for a second (or less) and then screen goes black. hasn't happened before. thanks--

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Wrong file icons - files won't open when double-clicked

Hello,
I have a the following problem on a powerbook.
Most picture files (JPGs, but not bearing the .jpg extension) are not reckognised any more by the system.
In fact, they bear an icon of Terminal exec (a black square with a green "exec" note in the corner).
When double-clicked, they don't open in Preview any more, they act as a terminal app, and won't launch, obviously.
The only way to open them is to go the hard way : in Preview, File menu, Open...
Another way is to change their names by including the ".jpg" extensions, which seems to wake up the id from the system and place back the correct icon and app link. But we have 1000's of pictures...
Painful.
We tried rebuilding OS X desktop, repairing permissions, and update prebinding (using the excellent ToolsX 3.4). No results yet.
Any idea someone?
Thanks,
Powerbook 17 1GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Have you tried selecting a picture, doing command i, for info, then in the info window setting the app for that file as Preview then clicking Change All?
Does ToolsX have a "Rebuild Launch Services database" function
or an update for "whatis" and "Locate" databases?

My photos won't open when I click on them,

My photos used to open when i clicked on them, for some reason they now wont open, I have to highlight them and press return, does anyone have any idea what has happenned recently that could have caused this, update maybe, has anyone else got the same problem?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

2013 excel won't open when double clicked

Hello,
I am using window's 7. I am having an issue with excel. An excel file will not open when double clicked.
Thank you,

Hi,
Does this issue happen to a certain Excel file or all Excel files?
If this only happen to a certain Excel file, where is the file stored? We may try to open a blank Excel file, and then open the certain Excel file via File > Open and then navigate to the file to see the result.
If this issue happens to all Excel files, please go to Task Manager, click Processes tab and make sure Excel.exe is not listed there. If Excel.exe is listed, end the process and then try to opening Excel file to see the result.
If above doesn't fix the issue, we may also try to
run a repair of your Office installation to see the result. It seems that the method fixed a similar issue for a number of users according to another thread.
Please have a try and let me know the result.
Regards,

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

My Time Machine won't back up and files won't open when double clicked.

I'm not sure if these are related, but recently my MacBook Pro has been acting much more sluggish than usual.
To start, I have a 13in MacBook Pro Mid 2012 model with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. I've got it new in the summer of 2012, and haven't had any real problems until now. I have a 1TB Hitachi external hard drive with over 600GB left of storage. I'm running Yosemite.
Lately, as in the past few weeks but more noticeably the past few days, I can't open files if I just double click on them from my desktop or from searching them outside of the application. For instance, if I click on a word document on my desktop, it will cause the work icon to bounce for a while, pretending to open, but it never does. If the application is already running, the file just won't open. If I search from the "open" selection within the application, it works fine. This is true for all of my Microsoft Office apps, Photoshop, Preview, iTunes, and everything in between, all of which I had never had a problem with before.
Next, anytime I try to backup my system using Time Machine, it simply shows the "Preparing Backup" status and never starts. I've had the hard drive and used it as a Time Machine since I got the computer, and have had zero problems at all.
I've tried CleanMyMac2, Memory Clean, and I've always kept my Mac very clean and organized, as in no duplicate files, moving my biggest files onto my hard drive, and deleting any of my unnecessary files. I know I don't have a ton of RAM left, but I'm honestly not completely sure what to do about that, as this model apparently doesn't have RAM updates available.
Think you all can help?
Thanks so much.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Word won't start when 'double-clicking' .doc file

I installed Microsoft Office X, (and removed the trial version that came with the machine). It runs fine if I start up the application and then open a file. However, if the application isn't running, and I double-click on a .doc file, I get an error message and Word doesn't start up.
(By the way, when I first installed it, the same operation would start up the 'trial version'...so I used the microsoft remove program to eliminate it.)

go to the .doc file.. get info in it.
go to "Open with" select the new Microsoft Office, then click on the "Change All..." button.
now all .doc files will be associated with the new install of Office.

Firefox won't start when double-clicked or when clicked on from the Start menu - but other programs say it IS running.

When I go to the START Menu to start up Firefox - *or* double-click the Firefox icon on the desktop - the program will *not* start. Yet if I try to do something that may interfere with Firefox, it says to close Firefox down because it's running.... which it isn't. Even going into the Task Manager through *control-alt-delete* shows plainly that Firefox is not running... I downloaded a game through Mediabox.com to watch a movie, that may have started the problem.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

Photo Does Not Enlarge when you click thumbnail

I have just installed the update to iWeb, etc. and now have a problem when viewing my web page. I get to the web page and try to click on the picture thumbnail to enlarge it and nothing happens. What gives?
iMac G5;2ghz;2gb ram, superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Apple goofed! (again) LOL!
there is an undefined java functions in your http://web.mac.com/stephenflint/iWeb/CruzWedding/Pre-Ceremony_files/Pre-Ceremony .js , fourth line from the bottom, I found:
var options = slideshowWindowOptions(height, width);
slideshowWindowOptions function is not defined anywhere in the js file. Unless someone contradicts me on this, I have to say this is sloppy works!
Apple should pay me for debugging their codes

hi. i open itunes, double click on a track and then if i want to play another track i double click on it but itunes won't respond and just keeps playing the original track. if i click on the track, it will highlight but won't play when double clicked. it will however play if i highlight with a single click and hit return. why is this happening. it never used to happen and doesn't on my other computer.

QuickTime X wouldn't have given the error message if it could have opened the file.
There are many file formats and codecs it can't view.

I am not able to access my photos through the photo application... when I click on the photo app, I can see the camera roll, but a transparent "album" screen is over it and I cannot click on the photos to see it... can any one please help ???

Known bug. Quit the Camera App, double-tap the home key and delete Camera from the recent apps bar. Fire it up again, should be good.

Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

How to get the alv grid report in another screen when double click on basic

Hi.
I have created an alv report using class cl_gui_alv_grid.I got another report in the same screen,when double clicked on basic list(using double_click event).I want to get this report in another screen.What i have to do?(In classical reports i worked with sy-lsind = 1 ,but how to do here?)
How to set color to the selected rows in the alv grid report?I worked with change_data_from_inside method of cl_gui_alv_grid.But it didn't work out..
With Regards,
Ramana.

On double click event . you will have to call another screen say 9000.
now within screen 900 PBO.. you will have to prepare the fieldcatalog/layout.. and the table to be displayed there.
in PAI of screen 9000, you can return to the original ALV.
method double_click.
call screen 9000.
endmethod.
" now in PBO create a module display_alv2
module display_alv2.
'prepare the fieldcat/layout info for new alv
'add the data to the new ALV table
'instantiate the grid call.. etc
'call the ALV
endmodule
"in PAI
module exit.
case sy-ucomm.
when 'ENT1'.
leave to screen 0.
endcase.
endmodule
while preparing the field catalog you can mention the EMPHASIZE field, whish will give color to tht column
E.g
*--Service Order
    ls_fieldcat-tabname   = 'IT_FINAL_VALID'.
    ls_fieldcat-fieldname = 'AUFNR'.
    ls_fieldcat-scrtext_m = 'Service Order'.
    ls_fieldcat-ref_table = 'AUFK'.
    ls_fieldcat-ref_field = 'AUFNR'.
    ls_fieldcat-col_pos   = 1.
    ls_fieldcat-outputlen = 12.
    ls_fieldcat-emphasize = 'C400'. "This will add color to the cell
    APPEND ls_fieldcat TO fcat_valid.
Hope this helps.

Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
#2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.
