Trouble opening Apps,Documents etc ,,

The only way I can open up any items to right click on then with the mouse. The problem is pretty much system wide. Any suggestions on what I can do to correct the problem will be greatly appreciated.

Run this:
http://mac.wareseeker.com/download/rebuild-launchservices-database-1.0.rar/33346 0
You might first try to trash com.apple.launchservices.plist, first, and restarting. Find it in user preferences folder.
If these fail, trash com.apple.finder.plist (same preferences folder). Restart.

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

It probably got too cold and shut down. Warm it to room temperature, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

Trouble opening Pages documents

Help! I can't open any of my Pages documents. I get this message: The required index.xml file is missing. I don't use the Cloud. Anyone know what's causing this? I'm not using an I-Pad or anything. I just started having this problem on my Mavericks computer this evening. I understand how to move Pages '08 documents to '09 and then to the current version. This is actually not happening with those documents alone. It's happening even with new documents I create in the current version of Pages. I've wasted hours and hours on two documents I now cannot open!

Thanks for the help and feedback, folks! VikingOSX, your answer was completely over my head, but I tried replacing (pages) with (.docx) and in the process realized what my problem was. I had created a new pages document in Pages 5.2.2 and saved it. Then when I tried to open it later, I had the Pages '09 application already open, and that application couldn't read it. I closed Pages '08, '09, and the newest version, then changed the ending back to (.pages) and double clicked on the document. It automatically opened using 5.2.2.
So, short story is, if I create something in my newest version, I have to make sure all old versions of the application are closed, otherwise they'll try to open my document and give me the message that it needs an xml file.
VikingOSX, thanks for making me walk through a process that eventually led to the answer, even if it wasn't exactly the answer you provided! MUCH APPRECIATED. YOU SAVED ME HOURS OF WORK.

Trouble opening Word documents

Has anyone else had the problems with opening a document created in Word? Specifically, when I open an existing Word document, a dialog box pops up stating, "Couldn't contact spell checker". The dialog boxes keep popping up faster then I can close them until I get the colored ball and I am forced to manually quit the program. This is a huge bug and I find myself resorting to using Word and staying away from Pages altogether.

Hi OldMack,
I found an old thread where people were discussing this problem [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5166006].
I'd try all of the simpler things they suggest, and if nothing else works, an Archive and Install certainly will.
Hope that helps!

I have trouble opening PDF documents with Firefox. They will open using IE8 and with the older version of Firefox but not with the new version of Firefox.

Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

Trouble Opening GarageBand Documents

I recently recorded some voice over type of tracks in GarageBand. I was trying to open them up again to edit them and I keep getting a message saying:
"The document could not be opened. The file is not in the right format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in a different format than you expect"
I'm not really understanding why it would say this because I haven't touched these since I last saved them in Garageband a couple of days ago. They have the normal Garageband extension as ".band". Is there anything I can do to open these again into Garageband?

If the project file is corrupted you may be out of luck opening it
This is very unlucky if this is the case.
But, all is not lost. Right click on the .band file in the Finder and choose 'Show Package Contents'. The contents of the .band file (which is really a folder) will be displayed and you can copy or move the audio files to a new folder/desktop and import them into a new GB Project. The 'Arrange Screenshot' file may help you to see some of the settings you had and where the regions were in the previous project.

Trouble opening PDF documents

Everytime i try and open a PDF document i get the following message - even though i know it is a genuine product
"it is not a supported file or because the file has been damaged, or sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded"

Could you please post which version of Adobe Reader are you using and the OS installed on your system? Also, is the issue happening with any PDF that you are trying to open or only with a specific PDF?

Just updated to 10.8.1 and having trouble opening apps that work fine under 10.8

Just updated to 10.8.1 and can no longer use Dragon Dictate 2.5.2 (It won't open) or Alarm Clock 2.4.5 (Won't open) or LineIn 2.0.3 (not opening) and I haven't even tried other applications besides my browser.
Very frustrating as I have never had a problem with an update before. Also just noticed that my Time Machine seems to be stuck at 99 MB of 170 MB update.
Is it possible to go back by Time Machine to before I updated to 10.8.1?

Thank you. This solved everything but the DragonDictate issue. Every time I try to open it it just gives me the swirling lollipop of colors. Which makes me to have to force it to quit.
It was supposed to be ineffective with 10.8 (But it worked fine) but now with 10.8.1 if there is ever an upgrade how can I get it if it won't even open?
Thanks you for the help it was really valuable.

Double click won't open apps, files, etc.

We have one computer with multiple users. When I log in (sys admin) I have no problem. When wife logs in double clicking will not open anything. We have to do it manually. I'm sure a button is turned off but I can't find it. Any help out there?
Many thanks!

Open up the Keyboard and Mouse system preferences and make sure the double-click speed is not set too fast. If it is too fast, it doesn't register the double-click unless you click very fast.
