Pics don;t open in the Edit window when double clicked

Hi
Need some help please.
I had some problems with iPhoto and after trying to rebuild it etc etc etc, decided to reinstall everything. I backed up the entire library to a DVD, deleted the current library and then created a new one.
Placed DVD in drive and then dragged the the folder iPhoto library into Pictures (which was empty)
When I opened iPhoto everything looked ok. All the folders were there and all the pics were where they should have been.
Unfortunately I cannot open the pics in the Edit window. Just shows a Grey square with an Exclamation mark in the centre.
I have searched all the other threads but still haven't found any information that has helped.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Jeff

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If the rebuild doesn't work, then you will need to create and populate a new library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Open in new tab on right click fails to open in the current window when used in a dependent window called with window.open command from original window this worked fine until ver 4.0

i have been using this page in all versions of firefox until ver 4.0 and it has worked fine
https://npwas.com/dummy/charts/charts.html
when this page is loaded enter a stock symbol in the text field "AAPL"
then click one of the lower links --"Yahoo Headlines"-- and another window is opened with this code
- function yahoolink(sqlstring, winnum) {
- var myurl = "http://finance.yahoo.com/";
- var mysymbol = document.SymbolForm.symbol.value;
- var mysrc = myurl + sqlstring + mysymbol;
- var mywindow = "mywindow" + winnum;
- //alert("mywindow- " + mywindow);
- if (sqlstring == "mb/")
- mysrc = "http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/" + -sqlstring + mysymbol;
window.open(mysrc,mywindow,'resizable=yes,titlebar1=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1');
all this works but when i right click on a message or news item and select "OPEN IN NEW TAB" - it fails to open the tab in this current window it opens it in the parent window --
the way i have always used this is to able to select news and right click all news items to read as new tabs and have all news items or messages to be grouped in the child window
this is now broken or do i need to recode something??
https:\\npwas.com come is my secure server and you may load the page and see the code
so far i really love ver 4.0 especially the sppppppeeeeeeeeed!!!!
keep up the great work
thanx in advance

the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

I can't open a new tab up in the same window when I click the little + sign next to the first tab. How do I get that to work on FF4 for Windows Vista?

I have a Sony Vaio labtop with Windows Vista, just updated to the new Firefox and now when I go to add a tab in the same window, it won't allow a new one. I clicked the + button/tab thing a bunch of times and nothing happens. What can I do to fix this? I'm not very computer literate so step by step directions would help alot. Thanks for any help.

You're welcome

It doesn't open new tabs or windows when I click on then. it gives a problem loading page quite a bit, what's wrong?

When i open it it takes a long time to open, when I go to mail, or other places. it opens a Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
All this when I click on a button or do a search in Fire Fox.
It seems like I have to play with it to open anything.
I went back to the normal Fire Fox and it's still happening.
I sometimes have to restart my computer to get the buttons in the mail to show up or Face Book to work right.

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
[[Firefox hangs]]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

I want all pages to open in a new window when I click on a link, and do not want tabs.

I just downloaded Firefox on my Mac laptop. I don't like using tabs, but prefer new web pages to open in a new window. What command do I use to achieve that?

Look at:
*Tab Killer: http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_tabkiller.html.en
Use: Download Latest Version (via HTTP) and install via File > Open File

A new tab won't open since the latest upgrade when I click the + at the top?

new tabs open every other way fine, but nothing happens when I click the "+" in the tab row to open a new tab.

If something works in safe mode but not otherwise, it probably means that an extension is blocking it. Start disabling extensions until you find out which one is the problem.

Won't open Outlook Express compose window when I click on a website's Mailto link

I have Firefox 3.6.10 running on Windows XP on my desktop.
When I am at a website with a Mailto link and click on the link, I expect my Outlook Express compose window to open. This is because Firefox's Tools>Options>Applications>mailto for Outlook Express is set to Use Outlook Express.
Unfortunately, clicking on this link merely takes me to Outlook Express, as opposed to opening a Compose window.

If the server doesn't recognize that you are logged on then that usually means that the cookie that identifies you isn't send to the server. 
If the cookie settings in Firefox are OK then make sure that an extension or security software on your computer isn't blocking the cookies. 
If you use the Back button then Firefox may be loading the page from the cache.
Do you still get the correct page if you refresh via F5 or Ctrl + F5 (bypass cache)?

HOW CAN I GET FIREFOX TO OPEN TO THE FIREFOX SCREEN WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER MY NAME AND PASSWORD EACH TIME ON MY MAC.

Third item in the table marked identified with <url>
* Command line arguments - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments
which is essentially the same as if you just change your home page
* How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
You might want to consider using a simpler home page, ideally one that is on your local drive, so you know Firefox is working even if you don't have a connection.
But your choice is much better than choosing a home page that just interfaces with a search site, when there is a builtin toolbar that can bring up any search that you care to add an engine for.

When I access the address book, how can I copy an address without having to open the person's info in the edit window?

When I find a person's address in the address book and highlight their name in one pane, in the lower pane their info shows up. Unfortunately, highlighting the information I want is disabled. So, I open their info in the edit window, and then click on the appropriate tab.
Getting a single piece of information is not so inconvenient, but when you're putting together lists it is rather onerous to do it that way.
Being able to highlight and copy off the address book panes would be cool. Thanks

In an earlier communication, I had said that this was possible, at least with TB on Windows, but I realize now that it's only possible when a certain add-on is enabled: [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook]
http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
Install the add-on, and see if you can now highlight info in the Contact Pane by dragging the cursor. Ctrl-C (or the Mac equivalent) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.
You may notice that right-clicking an address in the Contact Pane now shows a Copy command, but a bug in the add-on prevents this option from being active.

Logic 8 crashing when double click on color in the color window

every time I try and create a custom color in the color window by double clicking on a color square logic crashes . Is anyone else seeing this? - sent apple crash report

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(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.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

How can i setup pages to automatically open when double clicked. Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

Hi Karen,
Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
Close the info window.
Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.
Regards,
Barry

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?
