Right click jpg Open With Problems

I do a right click on a jpg file and select Open With. I get the spinning ball that just spins and spins. Other extensions work. Using Lion
Any hints?
Thanks
Mike

Jim,
Since getting my Mac Pro, and keeping multiple boot drives in it, I have found the behavior with Mail to be different than with the Finder itself. This was the case in Tiger, as well as now in Leopard. The Finder will offer the best choice on the current boot drive, but if another version of the same application exists on another hard drive (whether a boot drive or not, and including external hard drives) then will offer that version, as well.
Mail on the other hand simply offers every possibility, even where the versions are the same, but unfortunately does not alert you as to the source of each (which drive, as an example). This behavior is purposeful, I believe, and not an indication of anything wrong, but inconvenient. But the 13 offerings was not normal!

Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
To manually associate a file format with an application:
In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

CS2's Tricky Right-Click (Windows Open With... Has No Illustrator Listing)

I've seen several people ask about this and have had the problem myself. I've seen few answers and most that have asked seemed to have sought help elsewhere or given up. Having solved it with a little hunting and digging around for info, I thought I'd share what I've learned. I know this is a half-decade-old issue, but I had it today and I'm sure I won't be the last. Hopefully somebody else out there can benefit.
Problem: Upon installing the CS2 suite, Illustrator is not listed as an option for opening files in the contextual/right-click menu within Windows Explorer. (Generally applies to PDF filetype, but should work for others if the issue comes up.) Attempts to add Illustrator result in error messages or non-response from the Open With dialogue.
Solution: This solution will require editing your registry. Registry files are very critical to the inner workings of Windows and if you're not sure about what you're doing, please ask an advanced user (or admin/I.T. dept. if you're on a work computer) for assistance.
First, be certain that Illustrator and any other program that can open your PDF files are installed properly. (Photoshop, Acrobat and Reader will do, for example.)
If PDF is already associated with another program, you can skip to the next step. In Windows Explorer, select your PDF and right-click on it. Select Open With... then pick any program. (Actually, even a program that can't open PDF's should work for this process, but you may have unnecessary difficulty.) See that the checkbox to always use the selected program is turned on. Click OK. You may close the program after it opens.
Now you'll need to retrieve the complete path to Illustrator. One easy way to find this is to locate the program listing in your Start menu, desktop, wherever it is. Right-click that icon and select Properties. You do NOT want the path that's listed under Location on the General tab. On the Shortcut tab, select and copy the path listed in the Target field. You do not need to copy the quotation marks, if there are any.
Next we need the Registry Editor...please do heed the warning above before proceeding. Click on the Start menu, then Run... In the Run pop-up (the Start\Search box in Windows 7 also works) type regedit then click OK.
You should now have a window with what look like folder branches on the left-hand side. These folders are called keys. If you only see one item marked Computer, click the plus sign or arrow to expand the list. There will be one key labaled HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Expand that as well. You should get a VERY long list that begins with * and proceeds through many file extensions and other items. Scroll down...way down, past all the items that start with periods and other special characters. We're looking for the P section, which in my list is about 3/4 of the way to the bottom. Expand the key labeled pdf_auto_file. (There is a .pdf item higher in the list. Keep going if you're there.)
We are now at: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pdf_auto_file
Expand all of the keys inside pdf_auto_file. There should be one named shell, holding edit and open, each of which holds a final key named command. Inside each of the command keys should be one item that shows on the right-hand side. That item (this is called a value) is named (Default) and you'll notice the data within holds the path to the program you selected earlier. This is what we need to change, iniside both command keys.
Double-click the value name (Default) or icon. A window will pop up named Edit String. In this window, note the Value data containing the program file path. This is usually surrounded by " and " "%1 ". Select only the path between the quotation marks, ending in exe. Now paste the path you copied earlier for Illustrator. Take note that the complete string looks similar to:
"E:\Adobe\CS2\Adobe Illustrator CS2\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe" "%1"
Click OK to close the box, then go to the other command key and repeat the replacement for its data value. Close that box and you should be finished editing. You may close the Registry Editor now, as well as any other windows you don't need.
In Windows 7, this was pretty much all I needed to do. Earlier versions may or may not need rebooting Windows to update the active system. I've now got Illustrator as my default program for PDF's and it's available in the Open With... window should I chose to change my mind a couple times. The PDF icon even updated itself.
Should you need any details explained further, drop a reply...I think I'll get a notice, though this is my first post here. If I don't respond very soon, feel free to e-mail my nickname @aol.com to remind me. Good luck!

In XP Pro, not there to be 100% sure, that "open with" already has Illustrator CS3 listed and no version 10, the opposite of what Bridge shows.
I'll try it, just in case that helps update Bridge.
Thanks

i searched discussions for this question but wasn't sucessful ... so here's my question:
i use a toshiba pc laptop and an iMac G5 ... in order to watch dvds (with different region codes) on my PC, I use VLC with great success ... I wanted to do the same on my iMac, but came across the following problem:
when I want to watch a DVD on the laptop, i simply right-click the title and go for 'open with VLC' (which gives me the menu and so on) ... when I try to do this on the iMac, however, there is no
'open with VLC' option when I right-click the DVD ... I can open single chapters of the DVD by opening the single .vob files, but I'm not happy with doing that ...
any ideas how to make watching DVDs with VLC on my iMac as easy as it is on my laptop?
thanx for your help!

Mac OS 10.5.6 downloaded Firefox 3.6.13 Came as .dmg When I try to launch it says "Not Recognized". Right click for "Open With" refers me to Disk Utility when same results "Not Recognized"

About my Mac > G5 Desktop OS 10.5.6
Want to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.13
The download comes as a compressed file in .dmg format. When I attempt to launch the .dmg file to decompress I get a error message that says: The following disk images failed to mount: Image > Firefox 3.6.13 Reason > Not Recognized. When I right click to see what opening app it is directed to it says: Open with "DiskImageMounter (default). Disk Utility is offered as another opening resource when I direct the file to Disk Utility and go to Menu Bar select "File" then select "Open Disk Image" (or Cmd + "O") I get the same result. Have tried downloading the file twice more and get the same results

Vk2mh it sounds like the download was not complete or corrupted. Where are you downloading the update from? Have you tried downloading again?

Firefox 29 When I right click to open in a new tab, the tab will open but it will be a blank page. Tried Firefox Safe Mode & with Ad On Disabled Nothing

When I right click to open in new tab, the new tab will open but the page is blank. I have tried it in Firefox Safe Mode & with Add Ons Disabled, still doesn't work.

Hi UKBlue,
Is your new tab page set to about:blank? You can change this from the about:config page or you can restore defaults by resetting Firefox.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Problems using right click to open in new Tab or Window. Will not work. How do you solve this. Have v5.0 installed.

I have the latest version of Firefox installed. Version 5.0.
When searching on Google and use right-click to open in new tab or window. Keep getting blank tab.
Can somebody advise how to solve this.
Thank you.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Windows 7 - jpg "open with" launches PSE11 but doesn't load photo.

In Windows 7 explorer
I can't just right click on a jpg file to open and then load the photo into Photoshop Elements 11.
PSE11 loads properly but with an empty workspace. I then must do a file, browse, open, etc. to
find my photo.
This has resulted after removing and reinstalling PSE11.
I did this because of possible curruption with my Straightening Tool. (The line is very thin and only
partially appears.) The reinstall did not resolve this problem and created the "open with" problem.
Thanks,

Launch the Terminal app (/Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste in this one-line command, hit the return key, quit Terminal, and restart. The command resets the LaunchServices database.

I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Try to open a new window and see if that window works.

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.

#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main website, like google.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main window, like google.
This does not happen when opening in a new window (shift+click).
It was never a problem in older versions. I now have ff 3.6.17. I' afraid to install ff4 because everytime i do so (install e new version) something i liked dissapears or good add ons dont work anymore!
I also don't like the fact that more and more of the adress barr is beïng used for crap i don't need. I'm a visual handicap and need all the space i can, just to read.
Thanks for helping me out.

Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?

I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab????
Your initial subject line:
'''''Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?'''''
Your last post (3rd post):
'''''Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab...'''''
'''''''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''''''''
Right-click, '''not left-click''', has the "Open in new tab option".
Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
What are your Extensions?
-List them.
-You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
To find out which Extension is causing the problem, '''enable one-at-a-time''', restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.

'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''

Every time I right click to open a page in a new tab, it opens in a new window! Not sure why? This never happened before with earlier versions of Firefox.

Why has right click to open new tab become disabled?

SINCE UPDATING FIREFOX:
RIGHT-CLICKING TO OPEN NEW TABS DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. HOW DO I REVERSE THIS???
AND
FIREFOX CRASHES VERY OFTEN NOW. HOW DO I STOP OR AT LEAST MINIMIZE FREQUENCY OF CRASHES???

Regarding the right-click context menu, which is the best description of the problem:
# Can no longer right-click links
# Open in New Tab is missing or grayed on the context menu
# Open in New Tab does nothing when selected
# Open in New Tab opens in the same tab when selected
Does the site make any difference or do you have this problem on all sites?
Sorry to hear about the crashes. When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment. You often will see the Mozilla Crash Reporter dialog come up. You can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the last section of the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
If that's not possible, could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any less crashy?

Everytime I open a new window to browse, in this new window I would right click to open link in new tab but the new tab always shows up in the other window.

I would click a link which opens a new window. Then in this new window, I would right click to open link in new tab. The new tab does not show up in this new window. It instead shows up in the original browser window. How can I make the new tab show up in the same window?

Firefox did have a behavior where some new windows -- those considered to be dialogs -- could not have new tabs, so new tabs were diverted to the window from which the dialog was opened.
According to the bug tracking system, a fix is in the works:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window] referencing [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485237 485237 – Need to treat popups consistently].
That second ones says Target Milestone: Firefox 12, so the fix probably didn't make it into Firefox 11.
WORKAROUNDS
That first bug says there is an add-on to work around this -- it enables the middle mouse button to open links in a dialog window: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug-586234-unfixer/ Bug 586234 Unfixer :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.
