Photoshop won't open file from finder or iPhoto

I just installed Tiger and did a software up date so I'm totally up-to-date. My problem is that when I double click on a jpg in the finder or iPhoto Photoshop launches (if it's not already open) but it won't load the file. I've gone into the Get Info window and told the JPG to open with PS but that did nothing. The same with iPhoto, I've told it to open the file for editing in PS but it just opens PS and sits there, no file opened. I seem to remember this happening with a co-workers machine when he updated to Tiger and he says I fixed it but I can't for the life of me remember how I fixed the problem.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

If you did an update install you are missing this:
"/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types"
If you still have your Previous System folder around just copy the ScriptingAdditions folder and its one file into your new root Library folder. If you disposed of it you download the "AdobeUnitTypes" file from HERE. Unzip, create the folder and put the file in it.
Or you can always reinstall Photoshop....

PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

CS2 won't open files from card reader

Suddenly CS2 on my eMac will not open files imported from CF card reader. I have tried two different card readers and three different CF cards with the same result:
"Could not complete your request because of on unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found."
Tried to open JPEG's and Raw files with same error message.
Elements 4.0 gives same message. Bridge will display icon only (JPEG or NEF) but will not display image. Both CS2 and Elements 4.0 will open old stored files without problem.
Replaced the Adobe/Unit Types file, but no help. There is no CD/DVD in the drive.
The images on the CF cards are not damaged. I know this since they will open in CS2/Elements on my lap top (Mac Book).
The files will open in Preview if I try Preview first. However, if I try to open them in Photoshop first and then in Preview, I get an error message from Preview also.
What have I done now?!?

There were no eMacs made with 1.7GHz processors.
That may seem like I'm just being picky for the heck of it, but when it comes to computing and troubleshooting and asking questions, the details
matter
. In this case, probably not so much. But being sloppy about details is a bad habit to get into.

Acrobat distiller won't open file from word to create pdf

I can choose acrobat from word and print pdf -- but acrobat pro 9 gives me an error message when I try to select a file from word to create a pdf. I can print acrobat from word but not from acrobat
The error message just says can't open, check if you have read permissions for this file. I've been doing this, but now it won't select a file from word.
Thanks.

Sorry Bill, It's Word 7. I can create an acrobat pdf by choosing it when I print in word but if I try to create a pdf from acrobat - from the file - it won't work. I get the same error. Can't open do you have read priviledges. Not sure what that is or if there is a setting someplace that got checked or unchecked.
Thanks.

Unable to open files from Finder

I just bought my Macbook Pro yesterday. This is my first Mac so bear with me. I bought and installed Office for Mac. The problem is that I cannot open files directly from Finder or the folder stack on my Dock. If I trt to open a Word or Excel file from there i get this message:
Microsoft Excel cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft Excel works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application...............
I have already reinstalled the program (Now I have duplicate icons in Launcher).
The only way to open a file seems to be to open the program and then open the file from within the program. I have already set the "Open With" preferences and this does not seem to help. If Word/Excel is running, I can double click a file from the stack and it opens with no problem.
Any ideas???

I fixed the problem. Stupid me forgot to check for software updates when I installed Office. Seems the most recent updates have fixed this problem.

OS 10.6 - Really annoying bug, cant open files from finder

Hi!
I recently bought a MacBook Pro and it is my first Mac I upgraded to SL a while ago as well.
When I try to open a PDF-document for example from finder, the previewapplication that is supposed to open PDF-docs just jumps up and down in the dock for 30 secs or something and then stops. To open a document I have to first open the application, and from there open the document
The same goes for other documents like DOC that are supposed to open in pages, and images that should open in the previewapp as well.
Another example is torrentfiles. Clicking on a torrentfile is supposed to open Transmission, and it tries to open. Transmission jumps in the dock for a while but nothing happens. To open the torrentfile, I have to open it from inside transmission.
The strange thing is that sometimes this problem is not here (short period of time after reboot), but returns!
I would be very glad if you could help me fix this!

HI,
Maybe it's just a corrupted preference file.
Locate this file.
com.apple.Preview.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and reboot your Mac.
If you need help understanding the path to .plist files, go here.
http://web.me.com/carolynssamit/CarolynsMac_Blog/Path_for_.plistfiles.html
For Transmissions. Right or control click a torrent file then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window look down, you will see: Open with. (You may have to click the disclosure triangle). Click the pop up menu. If Transmission isn't listed, click: Other and navigate to the Applications folder and select Transmission.
If necessary, same with PDF documents you want to have Preview open.

Excel 2013 won't open file from network location

I have recently installed Office 2013 on several computers. Excel will not open a file from a network location. It opens the application but never opens the actual file. I have tried Word and it works okay from the same network location. If the users open
Excel first and then use the Open menu option to navigate to their network file it opens fine. I have tried several options listed in previous postings but have not found anything that works for me. I have checked the event log but nothing of note is there
because Excel does open it just never opens the file. Thanks.

Did you get any error message when you try to open excel file from the network location?
Not sure what methods you have already tried. So Firstly I would suggest you check if the option 'ignore other applications...' already unchecked (File->Options->Advanced) . And then add this network location to trusted location .
In addition, you can try to disable the OFV add-in by using a registry setting to test this issue .Refer to the article below to get the detailed steps:

Have MacBook Air, double clicking on track pad won't open files in finder but opens mail and links, and internet sites

I have a MacBook Air. I can not open up files in the finder when I double click on the track pad. Double clicking does open up mail, internet, links, etc.

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.

Photoshop won't open files

Hello there,
I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended (64-bit) for a few month without any problems. But now it doesn't do anything when clicking "File" > "New..." or trying to open a picture or PSD-File. I've also tried the same with an older Photoshop version (CS5), but here it also won't work.
Does anybody know why?

Photoshop won't open photos from Mac photo app

I'm just trying to open some of my photos into photoshop to do some editing. When I click "open" then try to go to the photos which are in the Apple Photo app, photoshop doesn't recognize them. That's the only location the photos are in. Someone help?!

Good day!
What do you mean by
the photos which are in the Apple Photo app
Do the images not exist as files of their own in a format like tif, jpg, psd, …?

Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

Photoshop won't open image from lightroom

When I try to export an image from Lightroom to Photoshop (CC) Photoshop opens, but the image doesn't.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Can't Open Documents From Finder

Sorry- the topic title is a little deceiving. I wasn't quite sure where this issue would go because really it's an issue I'm having with Word.
Word doesn't seem to want to open ANY documents. Every time I try, it stops responding and I have to Force Quit. I don't think it's a problem with the documents themselves because TextEdit can still open them. Also, I know that Word installed properly because it's been opening documents fine for two years-- this only started a couple of days ago. Ordinarily I'd simply reinstall, but I don't have the disk. Word won't open documents from Finder, or after I launch and select open from the options. It also won't open any downloads.
Any suggestions as to what's going on and how I should fix this would be much appreciated. (Also, if you could tell me where this topic SHOULD be, that would also be appreciated).

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Choose a doc and command-i (Get Info) Be sure "Open With" it says, MS Word. If not then choose it and click on Use this app to open all files like this"
If that doesn't help check in support the forums here...

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
