Unable to open any jpegs

I just noticed that I am unable to open any jpeg files on my MacPro. I cannot be sure when it started but in the last two days it became apparent to me. when I click on a file on the desktop or in Finder, nothing happens. The icon of the item is highlighted but it doesn't move, budge or give an error message.
The only recent that happened on my Mac was that some fonts had to be cleaned up b/c of an issue with Office for Mac but I can't imagine that has any relationship?
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Bernice

Do these steps in order and as written and do not skip ahead:
Find a JPG file on the desktop and right (or control) click it.
In the pop up should be Open With...
Go to the bottom and select Other.
Look for the program Preview and select it. At the bottom will be a box to check that states "Always Open With". Check that box.
Then click Open.
You should be able to open JPGs again.

Unable To Open Any Files In Photoshop CC

Hi All,
I am unable to open any file formats in my trial version of Photoshop CC. This problem seems to occur daily and the only way to resolve it is by restarting my laptop?
File formats I am trying to open include a new PSD file, old PSD files and also jpg files, png files and pdf files.
I am using an HP ProBook laptop but not sure of the model number.
Any help to prevent this from happening would be greatly appreciated and if anyone needs anymore information don't hesitate to ask me?
Thanks

Allyson,
Another welcome here.
Along with the answers to Trevor's questions, how are you attempting to Open those Image files, i.e. Dbl-clicking on them in Windows Explorer, or from the File>Open menu in the Toolbar? If you are using the former, please try the latter. If you want to work from Windows Explorer, Rt-click on the file, and choose Open With, then Photoshop.
Your comment about WMP being the default viewing program, seems to indicate that your File Associations have been changed, with WMP now set as the target program. If this is the case, then you will likely want to go to Folder Options (check for your specific version of Windows), and reset the File Associations for, say PSD, PSB, JPEG, etc., to point to Ps.
Good luck,
Hunt

Hi. My new computer had Acrobat on it. Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's. and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription. I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not. What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis. Thanks! I would like to be able to download this and pay online. Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I have a Windows 7 system. Please help!

As long as you know your serial number you can download PSE from here:

Unable to open any photos in CS4

Hi, my name is Cheryl, and I am new to the group. I am just about ready to throw this dang computer out the window! I am running Vista 64 bit, and have downloaded my CS4 to it. It will not let me download any updates thru the Help section- gives me "Adobe Output module 2.1 Failed to install. Install process has encountered a problem" but do you think it tells me what the problem is???!!!!! No way! LOL It also tells me the "Services update- Failed to install" I have been at this for several days, and I am just about at my wits end! And when I try to open photos in CS4 it tells me "The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\CommonFiles\Adobe\AdobeVersionCueCS4\Client\4.0.1\VersionCue.DLL" I understand the RAW files from my new camera (Canon T1I) won't open because there is no plug-in for it yet, but I can't even open RAW from my previous camera (Rebel XT), nor will it open any JPEGs. I get the same message for any attempts. I had no problems with the CS2 opening my older RAW files or JPEGs. When I open CS4 I get a message about the NVIDIA upgrade, which I finally was able to get that downloaded, tho I still get the message when opening CS4. I also am having issues now, that says the computer is giving me a "Blocked Startup Programs" message when turning on the computer. Is this affecting the CS4 somehow?? I never had this message until the last month or so. Have no idea why it is now blocking programs. The Adobe CS4 Service Manager is on the list of blocked programs. Any ideas how to go about unblocking these, and reasons why they may have been blocked in the first place? The list is about 30 programs long! As you can tell, my computer "knowledge" leaves much to be desired! Any advice that anyone can give me would be most greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Cheryl

OK, I uninstalled CS4, reinstalled it, rebooted the computer, tried to open jpegs- didn't work.
Tried to install updates from Help, it installed a few, but still won't install "Adobe Output module 2.1" and "Adobe CS1 CS4 1.0.1 Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1 Adobe CS1 CS4x64 1.0.1"
I'm really tempted to just wipe clean the computer and use my Restore disk to just start over. I'm not sure what is causing the problems with this thing.
So now I'm headed for bed, and will start fresh in the morning and hope for the best! I'll keep you posted.

Try resetting the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Unable to open any books in iBooks after 7 download

Unable to open any books from iBooks app after downloading new 7

Hi, Cargei.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first start with closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test opening a downloaded book in iBooks
iOS: Force an app to close

If the issue persists, try downloading a free iBook and test to see if it opens.
Cheers,

Unable to open any applications in administrator account

My OS is 10.6.2. Just tonight, I was unable to open any applications in my administrator account (Safari, iCal, iTunes, calculator, system preferences, etc.). In other words, I can't do anything while logged into my administrator account. However, everything works fine if I log into the guest account. Any suggestions? I have restarted my computer and that did not help.

What happens when you try to launch applications? Do you see error messages?
Check the behavior in Safe Mode by restarting the computer with the Shift key held down. Booting will take a while longer--this is normal, so just be patient.

Unable to open any programs in ABAP editor

Hi folks i'm unable to open any programs in ABAP Editor.
When ever i try to open any program it goes to short dump.
Even when i try to open STO4 to view error log.
it shows following message
Short text
    Runtime error, short dump could not be written.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program " " had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    Unfortunately, the system cannot carry out a detailed analysis of the
    error, as the table SNAP (which gathers information at the time of
    termination) does not contain a suitable short dump.
Information About Termination Point in XSLT Prog.
    Termination occurred in the XSLT program " ".
    The call took place using CALL TRANSFORMATION from the ABAP
    program specified below.
    In the source code, the termination point is in line " "
    of the (Include) program " ".
Internal notes
    The termination was triggered in function " "
    of the SAP kernel, in line " " of the module " ".
    The internal operation just processed is " ".
    Internal mode was started at " ".

hi,
check whether any exit has been implemented for se38 and because of some statements in that it may goto dump.
also try to open ur program from SE80.if u have access to se80 then u can do it from there itself.
reward points if hlpful.

Unable to Open any Models in the VC storyboard

Hi,
I am unable to open any models in the Visual Composer Storyboards. The moment I login to VC, I get the standard IE error and the window closes.
Has any one come accross this issue before?
-Ashwini.

Hi Ashwini,
I think this is not an VC error. I used Google and found:
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B293623&x=5&y=12">http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B293623&x=5&y=12</a>
I think there is problem with your IE Installation. Can you check this issue with another machine?

Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

HT2506 Hello I'm unable to open any pdf's with preview window opens up with message file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it (none of the pdf's have any security thanks if you can assist

Hello this week I'm unable to open any pdf's with preview, when I select to open a window opens up with message "file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it" none of the pdf's have any security thanks if you can assist

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

According to your User Agent you posted this question using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Are you having a problem with Firefox? What Firefox version?
You said you are having a problem opening PDF files on your system. Can you explain that better? Mozilla Support can help you with opening PDF files in Firefox, which uses a built-in PDF reader. Maybe one of these articles will help?
