Right click will not open files

Up until yesterday I could right click on a photo or movie file and I would get a menu coming up that would let me choose which program I want to open it in. Now I do not get this. The right click works, such as in a browser, or I can right click on a folder in the side bar and get a menu, but not if I go to a folder on my hard drive. Can anyone help? I have tried several different mice, I get the same thing.

Hi Shirley,
The google drive menu icon looks like this (red arrow)
I had this problem too today, and I've spent a few hours figuring out what the exact problem was.
There was nothing wrong with my back-up clones, and I didn't do any major updates, so I was puzzled.
After a few reboots I noticed the problem wasn't there until Google Drive app asked access to my keychain, and from this point the right-click problem came back.
I can confirm that the temporary fix described above works for now. Good to know, google is aware and trying to fix it.

  • Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

    Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

    As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
    Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
    On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
    Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

  • Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

    I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network.  I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
    The exact message I get is:  "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"  I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
    For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
    That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

  • Ibook author 2 will not open file created in ibook author

    ibook author 2 will not open file created in ibook author.  How can I find out what is causing this?  I read it might be a video file, but can't find out which one.
    TIA

    There should not be a simple issue just because of versions, I think.
    You may have a corrupted asset, as you seem to think. In that case, it's up to you to dig into the exact cause, sorry.
    Did you call support for this yet?

    The easiest solution is probably to use VLC. It can play just about anything.
    However, Perian will help Quicktime play various formats.

  • Photoshop CS6 will not open files

    Right after rebooting my computer (Windows 7 Pro) I can open one photo file in CS6 using any normal method of opening a file in Photoshop. After closing that file I cannot open any more files using any method such as>Open Recent, File>Open, or right click open using Photoshop, by selecting the file, double-clicking to open it etc. I also cannot open a file in photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 5 using Photo>Edit In> Photoshop CS6. Everything works in Lightroom when I use Photo>Edit>open in CS6 Photoshop opens but the file doesn't.
    If I reboot my computer I can then open one file using any of those methods, but when I try to open an additional file it will not open. I have run through all the opening Photoshop without plugins suggestions and all the other suggestions about what may cause this problem which I have found on Photoshop Help and Support Center and nothing has worked.
    This started while Lightroom 4.4 and CS6 were on my machine and had been working well for months. Then, suddenly, I couldn't open anything in Photoshop. I know of no changes made to the computer. After trying various suggested solutions I reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and things seemed to be working so I went ahead with updating to Lightroom 5. The same problem popped up in CS6 again. Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 4.4 have both worked with no problems and still do. Photoshop seems to be the problem. I've also run an antivirus which found nothing.
    Any suggestions?

    Others have this same problem. See discussion at Re: Photoshop CS6 does not open or create files
    I finally got CS6 to work but have no idea what I did that caused it to start working properly again.

  • Illustrator will not open files

    Hello,
    I am using Adobe Illustrator 11.0 for Windows (running on Windows Vista), and for some reason I am not able to open files that were previously created with the same software, on the same system, on the same computer.
    The files will not open whether I double-click them or even if I try to open them after I've opened Illustrator first.  Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
    You run as administrator or adjust your user privileges in your group policy editor plus you tell your virus scanner or otehr security tools to keep their hands off AI files. You are running a legacy software on a system it was never tested on, so naturally there will be problems. Those old apps not being compatible with Vista's and W7's security stuff is one of them...

  • Clickbox will not open file after published

    Good morning,
    I am working on a project where we are quizzing users.  They must refer to a PDF docuemnt as part of the decision making process.  I have added a click box that allows users to click to open the PDF docuement.  Of course, when I publish it, I get the warning to make sure the files are exported.  So, I copy and paste the two files into the output folder and uploaded it to my personal sharepoint site to test.  Of course when I try to run it in a web environment, the file will not open.  I cannot figure out what else I need to do to get these files to open after publishing.  The Help file is worthless around this and I did some searches and have not found anything on the expert boards from Rod or Lilly.  I am kinda at a loss. I could upload the files to our LMS and just point to the UR but I don't like that when the location changes.
    Any thoughts?
    Eric

    What was the format of the link to the PDF that you used in your Captivate file?

    There is a script running which Noscript lets me forbid, called akamaihd.net. It runs a script which is the same as in html when you highlight a word then attach a url to it.
    I don't know why I am seeing it but not others. FF and Chrome seem susceptible to it. It's not malware as usually thought of because no virus/malware program finds it here.
    Unfortunately, I have to forbid this script for every site I visit.
    In the other thread where your browser displayed an 'i.trkjmp.com' link which isn't really in the web page, I gave you a Google link for info about the problem. You said that it must be something else. Well, for months now, Chrome and Firefox users have been troubled by extensions which cause the 'i.trkjmp.com' problem. You might want to revisit the link I gave you.

  • AW Dependent upon AFP connection and will not open files

    Over the holiday break I brought an old G4 home so the kids could play. I linked it to a local network with a router. Pretty simple.
    Now that the old machine is back working away at the office, the G5 at home will not open any AW files. It will spin the colored beach ball and finally a dialogue box will appear with the AFP connection status and it has a statement which says Looking up "G4." Another box will then appear stating a connection could not be made.
    All of a sudden there seems to be this dependence upon the old G4 as a server.
    How can I get AW to work again?

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.

  • Excel 10.1.9 will not open files in Leopard public folder

    My Excel files are in a public folder of iMac A (Leopard 10.5.1). When I try to open an Excel document from iMac B (Leopard 10.5.1 or Tiger 10.4.11) Excel starts and let me know "Document was not found". I can open all the other files on the public folder (PDFs, DOCs etc.) - only XLS will not open. With Tiger it worked since years. If I copy the file to the desktop, I can open the file, I can save it and drop it back to the public folder ... but that's no solution for me.

  • FDK 9 will not open file

    I have a c api I created to create a book with a template it copies FM files from a templete folder and renames the book and documents form a text file with the name it will be using. The problem is the api will not open the text file, I keep getting an error saying it cannot open the file. This is working in FDK 8. I have look at the FDK 9 documents to see if anything has changed with the F_ChannelOpen and it looks the same. The source code compiles fine with no errors using the FDK 9 libs and includes. I am using MS Visual c++ 6.0 to compile the code.
    What am I missing?
         AllocStrings();
        F_ApiBailOut();
        F_FdeInit();
    ChannelT chan2;
       FilePathT *path2 = F_PathNameToFilePath((StringT)"C:\\Tools\\config\\CAconfig.xml", NULL, FDefaultPath);
        if ((chan2 = F_ChannelOpen(path2,"r")) == NULL)
            F_ChannelClose(chan2);
            F_FilePathFree(path2);
            return 0;  // file does not exist
        F_ChannelClose(chan2);
        F_FilePathFree(path2);
        return 1;  // file does exist

    This may be far too late to help you, but perhaps someone else will find value.  I ran into problems with F_ChannelOpen() with FDK9 and opening a text file as well, but found a solution that works for me.  (I also posted the following on the Yahoo FrameDev group yesterday.)
    OK, to answer my own question...
    Turns out I had to set up a few things for Unicode support. (This is an
    asynchronous client, by the way). I was already setting the working directory
    to $FMHOME for FM9 in order to avoid having to drag the ICU DLLs around with my
    executable.
    #include "fencode.h" // for FDK8/9 unicode support
    //for FDK8/9, set ICU unicode data dir to $FMHOME\fminit\icu_data...
    // StringT icu_dir previously defined elsewhere
    F_SetICUDataDir(icu_dir);
    F_ApiEnableUnicode(False);
    errstat=F_FdeInit();
