Please help me! I imported my pics to iphoto but I can't open them now. I can't see them on full Screen/edit them like before. All I get is a exclamation mark when I double click on them. I don't have copies, can someone please help me?

I imported all my pics to Iphoto and I can't open/edit them now. When I double click on them, I only get an exclamation mark. Please help me I don't have copies. I tried burning them to a cd but it didn't work. Can someone please help me?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

I am unable to play videos in iPhoto that I took on my iPhone. They are in .mov format, but when I double click on them, per the help instructions, nothing happens.

You can't play movies in iPhoto. But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS. Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

Get value of field object when I double click on any column of report

Hi,
We are converting our projects from .NET 2003 to .Net 2008 and upgrading reports10 to crystal reports 2008 and changing our Active x report viewer control to crystal report viewer.
We donu2019t use reports just to see and print the data. Our use is a bit more.
As we were using Active X Control (CRAXDDRT) to perform different operations
Following are some functions which are included in our requirements:
1-     We need the columns width to be flexible which we can changed in the code dynamically according to the users wish
2-     Setting text of some fields dynamically from .Net code
3-     Hide and show the columns dynamically from .Net code
       Upto here we are done using crystal report 2008 and .net 2008
       Now we are stuck with problem
4-     When we double click on fieldobject at runtime we are able to fetch the value of field object by using e.objectinfo.text.tostring, so far it is perfect
But we have different situation here and need a solution for this
I have two fields like Account ID and Account Description
I need the solution so that when user clicks either on Account ID or Account Description I should be able to fetch the Field object value of Account ID Column only so that i will be able to open different forms and reports based on that ID
As we were doing it before using Active X Control the code snippet is giving below
case "Field: Account. AccountID ", "Field: Account.Description"
GlobalCode = GiveCode(mYFields.Item(1).value) '------ Where 1 refer to Account ID, so in both cases either we click Account ID or Description Field at run time we are able to return the account ID field value.
so we need solution some thing like that please do let us know how we can do that
For Your reference we were using CrystalActivexReportViewerLib10.CRVFields obejct to fectch the report values
Thanx in Advance
Regards,
Arshad Hussain Bhatt

Hello,
I am getting value of that cell where I am clicking. But I need the value of other columns also in that particular row where I double clicked. For this I gave one example also that suppose I have a report where there are two columns. One is AccountID and other is AccountDescription. Now if I click on Account ID I get the value of AccountID and when I click on AccountDescription I get the value of AccountDescripiton This is oK n good but I want that If i double click on AccountDescription I should be able to get the value of AccountID also.Please tell me is there anyway to do so?
We did so when we were using CRAXDRT.Report Bellow is the code snippet for how I did it in that.
Dim MyField As CrystalActiveXReportViewerLIb10.CRVFields
Private Function GiveFieldIndex(ByVal As CrystalActiveXReportViewerLib10.CRVFields, ByVal FldName As String) As Integer
For i as integer = 1 To FldArry.Count
    If FldArry.Item(i).name = FldName Then
                GiveFieldIndex = i
      End If
End Function
Private Sub CRViewer1_DoubleClick(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As AxCrystalActiveXReportViewerLib10._ICRViewerEvents_DblClickedEvent) Handles CRViewer1.DblClicked
If MyField.Name = "Field: AdoJV.AccountID" Or MyField.Name = "Field: AdoJV.AccountDesc" Then
/Following line will give us AccountID in anycase either we click on AccountID or Account Desc or even you can add more column by adding Or Operator. We need something like this in Crystal Report 2008/
Dim GlobeAddEditCode as String = myFields.Item(GiveFieldIndex(myFields, "Field: AdoJV.AccountID")).Value
End If
End Sub

Desk top folder won't open when I double-click on them

It just started happening, but now when I double-click on my desktop folders, they will not open. I end up having to right-click on them which can be very time consuming and frustrating, to say the least! I'm not sure if it is something I need to fix in settings or if it could be anything else...Help!

Stargazer,
Open System Preferences...>Accessibility>Mouse & Trackpad, and experiment with a different "Double-click speed:"

My photos wont enlarge when i double click on them

Some of my photos won't enlarge in iPhoto despite that being the setting in preferences for the double click.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders 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 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.

Acrobat Pro not opening PDF files when I double click on them- It only works if I bring up the program-.

I've installed a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro. It will open the file if I hit control->open with->Acrobat Pro Luis: but if I double click on the document it only brings up the Acrobat XI Pro window with the "Open a Recent File", I've changed the "Open With" option on "Get Info" and still can't open the PDF files with a double click. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! LAGA

When I double click the file after Acrobat is opened nothing happens...
The PDF file only opens if I start the acrobat program then look for the PDF file or any PDF Files and then I am able to open them.

Also I notice that if I have to pause a download and resume it lter nine times out of ten the download reports as corrupted or missing files, etc. This does not happen if I do not pause the download.

Some of my photos show in iPhoto but when i double click on them, they show a warning sign.What happened?

This is in iPhoto 11. Mac OS X 10.7.1
The pictures are visible, but can't do anything with them. No printing or editing and I looked under the info and it doesn't give me any clues. When and how did that happen?

As we can't see your machine we have no idea why this happened.
Time Machine can back up material on external drives.
No idea why rebuilding "isn't an option" in your case.
You might want to reconsider your back up routine. You don't need Library Manager to duplicate your Library, you can simply use the Finder for that.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

I just installed Elements 13. When I import images, most of them do not load as thumbnails, but rather as gray rectangles. When I double click on them, the image appears and can be edited. How do I get the thumbnail images to all appear?

My System:
iMac Software: OSX Yosemite v. 10.10.3
Processor: 2.9GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 8GB 1600MHz DDR3

If you are importing large numbers of images, it takes PSE a while to generate the thumbnails. So you might want to just wait while it does its thing (which can be hours if we're talking thousands of pics). If it's just few images, select them in the organizer, then press F5 and see if that forces the thumbnails to generate.

I cannot get firefox to boot up when I double click on the icon

When I click on the "globe" to start Firefox Mozilla, my computer will not go to the internet. It won't do anything. The only way I can get online is through Windows Internet Ex0lorer now. I have been using Mozilla Firefox for many years and this has just happened in the last month. I have not gotten a new computer. The only thing that is new is new phones, but I have a cable modem and I don't do dial-up. I did download and add Webroot Spy Sweeper recently.

Suggestions:
* Try launching a profile manager as described at [[Managing profiles]].
* Disable any active anti-viruses and firewalls and try again.
* Try installing and launching another version of Firefox: '''[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html beta]''' or '''[http://www.firefox.com/all-older.html 3.5.x]'''. (This will preserve all your bookmarks and user settings.)

Some of my photos are clear as thumbnails, but blurry when I double click on them

What can I do to get the original, clear photo back?

what did you do to remove the original, clear photos? the problem you are reporting is NOT an issue that people are seeing with iPhoto
What are the pixel dimensions of the photos?

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup. Yo shld be able to make a backup if you previously syncing to this computer.
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Java does not list any sites in the site exception list, just an exclamation mark, so how do I add them?

I want to use an online drum machine ("monkey machine") that requires Java, so I installed Java, apparently correctly.
However, when I try to use the monkey machine drummer, it still demands Java, but Java's security mechanism won't allow me to add the monkey site (or any other site). All I get is an exclamation mark in the box where the list of site exceptions should be. This is in the control panel,under the security tab, after hitting "add" to add sites...
So.....
How to add in the sites?
Thanks!

¡Hola!
Does this http://java.com/en/download/exception_sitelist.jsp solve your question regarding Java?
