Suddenly double-clicking on a PDF document opens the Acrobat application but the document does not load.

Up until today I had no problem opening a PDF document that I have already saved by double-clicking on it. Now when I do that, my Acrobat application opens, but the PDF document does not. I need to use File/ Open to select the document I want to see, or I need to right mouse click on the PDF document and choose “Open with”. I had this once before and I had help to resolve this, but I am using Acrobat 7 Professional and since it is not supported, I can’t get help when I call Support.

Sounds like a Windows problem. Try the right click and then select the ALWAYS open with feature. That is supposed to fix the link. If that does not work, open the file type menu under the TOOLS>Folder Options (XP view, may be other in VISTA). If you select advanced under PDF, you should get a link under the open>edit something like "c:\adobeapp\acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "%1". The comment you make sounds like the %1 or the quotes are missing. Bill

At the top of my homepage, I'm getting a message "Downloading the latest applications", but the circle to the left keeps spinning, and no applications are downloaded. I don't know how to stop this, tried right and left clicking on the bar. This occurs every time I open Firefox. How can I stop or disable this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Double clicking on an email header opens in a tab with the email reference but the header of a totally different email, the body of the email is blank, how fix?

Emails sitting in my inbox for a few days no longer open normally. Double clicking on them opens a tab referring to the header of the clicked email but below is a header and details from a totally different email and the body of the email is blank. For example double clicking an email from Tesco results in 'Tesco' displaying in the tab but the header below shows 'From: TalkTalk'
Clicking 'Options' and selecting 'Show remote content' does not overcome the problem.
Incoming emails open normally when they first come in.
This peculiarity seemed to apply only to a few emails at first but it is now becoming general.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird (ver 31.6) and the problem remains. O/S is Windows 7
How can I overcome this?

Right click the problem folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder. You may lose messages if the corruption is too bad.
Then read this article on maintaining your email.

I am able to use all GL/GPU accelerated functions (3D, rotate, scrubbz zoon etc.) in CS4.
However, with CS5 I cannot utilize the 3D functions (Repousse, etc.). I can use the other accelerated

Any suggestions.

Buy a new graphics card! The GS series were trimmed down versions of other models, so naturalyl they may not provide the necessary performace to enable the 3D stuff.

Double Clicking on a PDF document, will not open

When double clicking on a PDF document with the default document properties set to Acrobat Professional 8, the document will not launch Acrobat.
If Acrobat is already opened however it will launch.
I've tried:
re-setting file associations
deleting preferences
Uninstalling and reloading Acrobat: (solves the issue for a time but after a period of use it reverts to this broken state).
OS X 10.5.5 is fully updated, as is Acrobat 8.

Another Utility that will do the same without aid of DVD.
is a Utility called
AppleJack version 1.5 works with OSX.5.x and version 1.4.3 work with all previous systems.
download install the go into Single User mode (restart Command-S) wait for screen to come up will be in B&W as soon as it starts up release until you see a Blinking Block Cursor. type applejack as instructed on screen. follow the commands as shown in Order.
I amazing what problems it can clear up. Font Caches are removed and others. If you follow all the way to the end. Its amazing how much your machine will speed up up not having to wade through obsolete Cruft. Note if you do everything to the end. will take you computer a few minutes to rebuild caches, and other items.

No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

Thanks Pat for your interest.
Actually I am using Windows 8 (Not 8.1) and Adobe Reader Version XI (11.0.06)
Now, the exact problem I am facing is that there are certain types of pdf files I am being sent which are Password pritected (it may not be a necessary condition, i don;t know) and after I have keyed-in the correct password, it flashes the message- "Double-click here to open your file". Now while using the earlier versions of Adobe (or maybe Windows) I used to see a peculiar Pin-shaped object on the screen, double-clicking which used to open the file. That object is somehow missing this time, so I have no place to double-click. Therefore I am not able to open the file.I may add that I have recently moved to Windows 8 from XP, so my knowledge of Windows 8 is not up to mark. Can you please help?

Double clicking on a region to open it no longer works...

After installing OS 10.8.2 I have problems with Logic 9.1.8. If I double click on a region in the Arrange window, it used to open on the lower part of the Arrange window so I could edit notes, velocity settings etc. Now, when double-clicking, the lower part opens for very short time (0,1 second) and then disappears. I have deleted prefs files, restarted the iMac etc., but nothing helps. - What should i do? Is there any other way to open a region in the lower part of the Arrange window?
I just discovered that I have the same problem when double clicking on instruments. They open for a very short while (0,2 sec) and then close. This means that I can't adjust parameters in the pop-up window (instrument, filter etc.). Very strange. I remember I had this problem some weeks ago, but it disappeared. Not now.

A few ideas..
Have you checked your mouse/trackpad settings in System Preferences.... in case something got messed up there... as it sounds like an input device issue in some ways
Also, check Logic Preferences/General/Editing and make sure that Double Clicking a Midi region Opens... is set to Piano Roll (Even if it is.. try unchecking it.. close prefs.. and recheck it again..)
Finally, you said you had trashed the pref files.. which one(s) did you trash? Did you also trash the CS one too.. as it could be related to a control surface issue.. I mention this because a client of mine had an issue after installing an iPad Controller for Logic... If you have an iPad/iPhone.. make sure the iPad/iPhone is powered off (Not just asleep) and test after that too...

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols. What is going wrong?

You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

I cannot open my iphoto application. The minute I double click on the icon I get the rainbow which spins forever. I've used Applejack to repair the hd, but even that didn't work. I've getting into iphoto preferences..can't. Help!

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. .

Why do I have to double click on my icons to open apps?

For some reason, out of the clear blue, none of my apps open without double clicking. Just about every icon has to be double clicked now to work. This just started out of the clear blue when I turned it on this morning. I am baffled

Mine too!! Looking for a resolution!

My track pad stopped working with a single finger/double click when I try to open emails, and when I try to open apps on desk top. If I use two fingers, and then click open, I can open them. Thank You for your help.

Greetings ascnephew8,
It seems your trackpad isn't working as you expect it to. Have you reviewed the trackpad settings in System Preferences? The following article provides trackpad setting details which may help:
