Preview doesn't launch when I double-click a previewed photo in finder

Just noticed today that when I preview a photo in the finder by clicking on the spacebar, I'm unable to double click it so that it launches in the Preview application. I don't remember fiddling with anything before this, and it was okay several weeks ago. Any ideas?

I retract this question. I tried again and it seems to work fine now. Wonder what happened.

  • When I double click on a photo in Photoshop 10, Organizer, it is replaced by another photo.

    I am using a free downloaded trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer with Windows 7.  Not every time, but often enough, when I double click on a photo in the catalog, it will replace that photo with another photo.  Then I have to search all over to find the original photo.  Additionally, I was in an album and right clicked on a photo, then asked that it be rotated 90 degrees right, and instead the photo was replaced by another photo.  I've been through my entire catalog twice and cannot find the original photo.  Now, as I page down through the photos, it seems to be mixing in different photos about every other photo. 
    Am I doing something wrong? 
    Is this a Windows 7 issue?
    I realize I'm just using a trial version and that this problem may not exist in the real thing (if indeed it's a problem and not a user issue), but if I can't get the trial to work any better than this, I will not be purchasing the actual version. 
    Any help?

    I don't know what happened but as soon as I posted this request for help it immediately is working fine.  Thanks whatever.

  • When I double click on a photo an exclaimation mark appears

    when I double click on a photo an exclaimation mark appears
    how can I fix this?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto do you have? The strategies for resolving vary from version to version.
    Of course, restoring from back up will work in any version.

    Hello michelefox17
    It's sounds like you may need to rebuild your iPhoto Library. The article below has the steps on how do that.

  • I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI.  I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.  When I double click on the photo to enlarge it the screen fills with an exclamation mark.  I need to email these photos out.  HELP!

    I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI.  I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.  Also, if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark.  I need to email these photos out.  HELP!  Also if I do a slide show with the album, those pictures do not show up.

    This:
    if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark.
    is why you can't do this:
    I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.
    It means that iPhoto can't find the photos.
    What version of iPhoto?

  • Why does Firefox no longer launch when I double-click the icon?

    I found an article on the support site that suggested creating a new profile, but the run command did not launch profile manager. I tried uninstall/reinstall, but it does not change behavior. When I click the icon, I get the hourglass for a moment, and then nothing. I'm on WinXP. On 10-14-11, I thought I saw a pop-up menu saying Firefox was updating (I did not initiate it, nor was I presented with a confirm pop-up), but it was very brief, so I'm not sure. After that day, Firefox would no longer launch. I've not made any system changes, or installed any programs.

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • ITunes doesn't open when I double-click the icon.

    It doesn't give me an error message. I'll just see my arrow spin and then nothing. I have windows 7. It doesn't even attempt to open.

    Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following troubleshooting document?

  • Firefox doesn't open when I double-click the icon. I already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

    Initially, both internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox wouldn't open. After 3 months of not using my laptop, I decided to try to troubleshoot the problem. Miraculously, I could open IE today without having to do anything. But I was still having trouble with firefox. So I killed it in the task manager, and then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. The loading icon would appear, but the window wouldn't open. So I tried opening it in safe mode. It worked, but like for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds of having it in safe mode, the window would freeze, I wouldn't be able to click anything in the window, and the top of the bar said "not responding". I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

    I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.

  • I cropped a photo in iphoto. It is only cropped when you double click.

    I cropped a photo in iphoto.  In events it is showing the original photo. When I double click on the photo then it shows me the cropped version. I would like to see only the cropped version and delete permanantly the original version or at least not have to look at it. Help please.

    How did you crop this photo? The symptom are consistant with your using a third party program and modifying the photo within the iPhoto library - which you must never do.
    in iPhoto there is no way to "delete the original" version - iPhoto is a DAM (Digital Asset Manager) and as such always maintains the original, the digital negative

  • Get ! message when double click on a photo in iPhoto

    Why am I getting ! when i double click on a photo?
    How do I get the image back?

    The exclamation point will be shown,when iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files. Then it cannot display the full image.
    Try, if rebuilding the iPhoto library will help,  see this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
    If iPhoto's rebuild does not help, try rebuilding with iPhoto Library Manager, see Old Tod's post here:   Rebuild the iPhoto Library
    But before rebuilding,  backup your iPhoto library, just in case.

  • Some of my photos show small when I double click them

    I have a macbook air OS X 10.9.5 (13F34), iPhoto 9.5.1
    I have just noticed an issue in my photos from 2008 to 2009.  When I double click on the photos in this period small size photos come up, not full screen
    at the start of the problem I note that one event seems to let me have full size, and another event straight below suddenly only allows me to click to a small photo
    I don't know when this problem happened, obviously I certainly do not recall doing anything to cause this.  Is there something I can do to get those photos back to full size.

    I'm not sure if I know exactly where to find this, but this is what I see on the two examples of the same photo
