  • Can't Open Folders

    Using Leopard 10.5.2
    When I try to open a folder, any folder, including the hard drive, the ipod, folders on the desktop, etc. this happens:
    1st -- a window opens. In some cases I see the contents of the folder in it, but usually it looks completely empty.
    2nd -- after about 1 second the window disappears and everything on the desktop including the hard drive image also disappears.
    3rd -- after about 1 second everything on the desktop reappears, complete with the hard drive and other folders. They are all closed.
    Spotlight can find folders within folders, and files within folders. Applications can be opened from spotlight or the dock, but not from any folder, such as the applications folder. Some folders can be opened from Recent on the apple menu, but others can't.
    I spent a couple hours on the phone to Apple yesterday and they first had me create an account for a phantom user. Logged off as myself, and logged on as the phantom user, and did not have this problem with that account. New problem being: can't access any of my files, because they're all associated with the original user account.
    Next we did some complicated stuff to get access to my desktop folder from a new super-administrator account and moved my desktop into the "shared" folder. Went back to my account, and now everything that was on my desktop has disappeared and I still can't open any folders, so I can't get anything that was on the desktop for that account back.
    Next we reinstalled the system software using the install and archive option.
    This was also a giant step backwards, because it installed 10.5.1 and reset preferences etc back to the defaults but it did not affect the folder bug. So then I ran software update and installed 10.5.2 and now I'm up to about 10 hours of trying to make things work and have only succeeded in making things worse.

    Hi I exactly have the same problem . I remarked it noon on my G5, Leopard 10.5.2.
    I have 2 Internal Hard Drive.
    On the primary one, i have the same symptoms : i could not open folders. Everything stops and restarts. Sometimes it even happens after several clicks in teh lateral bar of the Finder
    On the Second internal Hard Drive everything is OK
    I thought about rights.. i launched some maintenance & cleanup scripts using ONYX, then reboot... it 's the same.
    It's so strange : i reinstalled Leopard from scratch two weeks ago >
    I launched backups with Time Machine + Capsule
    Recently i installed iLife.
    It seems, that after install of Leopard everything was ok.
    Recently, one of my update (iDVD) failed. And Safari.
    This problems come from my RAM i think :
    When i reinstalled Leopard, i should unplug all my upgraded non-Apple RAM.

  • Adobe CS5 programs have trouble opening folders on external hard drives under 10.10.2

    Just upgraded 2 mac's to 10.10.2. One is a late 2013 Mac Pro, the other is a lot-of-the line, BTO iMac 5K. (Processors and Ram are not an issue)
    Both InDesign and Illustrator (CS5) are having difficulty opening folders on external hard drives. Mac Pro is connected to a 5GB LaCie d2 via thunderbolt cable, while the 5K is connected to a 2TB WD my book studio for Mac via FW800 with an apple branded Thunderbolt adapter. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Using the File>open command then drilling down to the selected folder on the Hard Disk drive, the finder sits blank with the spinning beach ball going.
    Other local folders open up quickly and populate file lists with no problems.
    Some folders on the external drive can be accessed through the File>open finder dialogue however they are folders that contain fewer sub-folders and files.
    Update while typing this...
    Both Folders that were giving us problems contained a shortcut. Hiding that shortcut inside anouther local folder seems to have cleared up the trick. This is a short term work around and I am wondering if Apple is aware of this issue or if others have found the same problem as I have and if this work around fixes their issues?

    How long have you been running 10.9?
    In my case the external drives go to sleep and have to wake up. Not much to do with Mavericks, just hardware sleeping to save energy. Note that 10.9 is much more energy aware and may put things to sleep more often.  That may be a fair trade off

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.

  • Setting to open folders in new folders

    Upgraded from  SL to Mavricks. In SL, there was a preference to open folders in new folders instead of replacing the current open window. Did that go away as an option in Mavericks?

    open folders in new folders
    To open folders in new Window? Try Finder/Preferences/General - open folders in... Then control click the folder and you can open it in a new Window.

  • Tabs and Opening Folders in Finder

    Taking advantage of Maverick's tabbed Finder in fullscreen mode would logically exclude behavior such as double-clicking a folder resulting in the opening of a new Finder window. That makes for (for me) the same annoying search around with Finder windows that I had in 10.8. By definition, the ability to constrain all new windows to a nice, neat tabbed format should be an option. After all, Safari behaves that way unless I really want a new window for some reason. I typically run many apps at the same time, sometimes give presentations, and I dislike clutter. While the new Finder is a long awaited improvement, it needs a new optional default to always open in tabs in the preferences. You could then use Cmmnd-N if you wanted a new browser.
    I realize that holding Command while double-clicking a folder results in its opening in a new tab, and I'm slowly getting used to doing that while working in the new Finder. But changing the default is such an easy fix, and I hope it comes out with the next upgrade.

    Using [Command]-[T] opens a new Tab in Finder, as does right-clicking a desination folder and choosing "Open in New Tab". 
    Thanks, yes I appreciate your suggestions. I was amiss not to mention right-clicking (rather clunky for simply opening in a new tab I think), and yes all of those things do work in full screen mode.
    What I also neglected to mention is that there is + button to add a new tab, but only when you have at least two tabs open. I think it unintuitive and odd that the designers chose not to implement the + button on every new Finder window. As it is now there is nothing. For starters, you have to know that Finder is capable of tab-browsing, then you either have to make a new tab with Cmnd-T or by going to the File menu (sixth option down). Not very intuitive.
    I remember hearing a rather exasberated Steve Jobs explaining to users that they could "go ahead, make as many windows as you want" in reference to compromises made for the then brand new OS X Finder. He wanted something like we finally have now in Mavericks- elegant, smooth file management all in one window. Well, it's all pretty much there now except 'open folders in new tabs' instead a 'new window' default.

  • HHActiveX.dll  - Windows Explorer open folders in separate window (Win7/ Vista)

    Windows Explorer will open folders in a separate window when you double click them.
    Adobe RoboHelp HTML 8 with update 1 and 2 installed sequentially on Windows XP.
    HHActiveX.dll  8.0.0.203 registered by installer
    Problem:
    What we're seeing is, after installing HHActiveX.dll with our product suite on a 32-bit Windows 7 system (and probably Vista also), after rebooting the computer, Windows Explorer will open folders in a separate window when you double click them. This occurs even when Windows Explorer is set to open them in the same window.
    Solution:
    This seems to have something to do with the registration of actxprxy.dll and/or ieproxy.dll. Reregistering these DLLs and rebooting usually fixes this problem.
    This web article mentions side effects in Internet Explorer and a couple of other programs that also come from this.
    Here's a web page that outlines what we're seeing and how to fix it manually:
    http://www.davidmoore.info/2009/08/19/solution-explorer-open-each-folder-in-same-window-er ror-and-sql-management-studio-ie-and-team-explorer-errors/
    In Windows 7 (and probably Vista also), the GUID of this library has changed from {B8DA6310-E19B-11D0-933C-00A0C90DCAA9} to {C90250F3-4D7D-4991-9B69-A5C5BC1C2AE6}. Also, the registry entries that are concerned with actxprxy.dll are under HKCR\CLSID\{B8DA6310-E19B-11D0-933C-00A0C90DCAA9}; the last component in that registry path is the old GUID, and that's probably what is causing the problem.
    Questions:
    The previous approach provides a way to fix the problem by adding some code to reregister the two DLLs at the end of the install. The developer would prefer not to have to add install code to fix this problem in the first place.
    1) Is this a known issue with Adobe HHActiveX.dll and Windows 7 / Vista? (I didn't find much with a web search or in Adobe Forums.)
    2) Is a newer HHActiveX.dll available to fix this issue?
    3) Does Adobe have a fix for the Windows Explorer problem that this DLL is causing in Windows 7 (and probably Vista also).
    4) Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Here is what the developer did to fix the issue.
    MSI Install: The installer is unregistering actxprxy.dll and ieproxy.dll on Windows 7 32-bit PCs
    Problem: The problem was being caused by Adobe's HHActiveX.dll, a DLL that we have to install because of the browse sequences/ glossary in the new application help. This DLL was registering itself against actxprxy.dll using the GUID that was in use prior to Vista; and that in turn caused the Windows Explorer problem, among others.
    Fix: Added a custom action that is called after the application is installed (or reinstalled or upgraded) that reregisters the 32-bit actxprxy.dll and ieproxy.dll. (Since the problem doesn't manifest itself on 64-bit systems, the custom action leaves the 64-bit actxprxy.dll and ieproxy.dll as they are.) Rolled back the registry deletions that were done in the Shared - help third party merge module in the previous attempt to fix this bug, as those changes were found to be unnecessary.
    Cheers

  • Space bar no longer opens folders in finder

    After upgrading to Mavericks, the space bar no longer opens folders...but it SHOULD according to the footnote on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13872
    This is a problem for me, as I have the "spring-loaded folders and windows" unchecked in the Finder preferences, and I just use the spacebar to open folders.

    I use spring-loaded folders the same way you do (delay off, space bar only), and I'm seeing the same issue on my end.  It would be one thing if the feature just didn't work at all; however, I'm actually seeing four different behaviors depending on the window's view mode.
    Icon view: The window's contents are replaced with the new folder's contents after pressing the space bar once.
    List view:  A new window opens (with zoom animation) to display the folder's contents.  This would be the expected behavior, except that the user has to press the space bar *twice* to activate the feature.  The position of the cursor for the first press does not matter... the folder over which the cursor is hovering when the space bar is pressed a second time is the one that will be opened.
    Column view:  Nothing happens at all when the space bar is pressed, regardless of the number of presses.  This is the most serious problem.
    Cover Flow view:  The behavior is similar to the list view, except that there is no zoom animation when the new window opens.
    This really strips away some polish from the Finder's user experience, and hampers the flow of power users.  I've submitted a Radar bug with my findings, and I hope they address the issue soon.

    Upgraded to 5.4 when opening lightroom get a message "encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and need to quite" tried this several time but get the same error message.  Says Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches but that is not happening.  How do it fix this?

    Delete the preview cache using your operating system. It is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the Lightroom catalog, which ends with .LRCAT

  • I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

    Question
    I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

    I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

  • IMac Won't Allow Me To Install Applications Or Even Open Folders

    I have an iMac Intel Core Duo 2.33 GHz, with 2GB of Ram running 10.5.4.
    When I booted my Mac last week I noticed a brown area on my screen. After the machine booted I could only open the applications that were in my dock or do a search for them through Spotlight and start the application from there, since it took many clicks to get to my Applications directory to open after clicking GO in the menu bar.
    Even after the Applications directory opened (which took forever) I was unable to click on ANY of the applications and scrolling was extremely slow or not at all. I also had to Refresh the Finder just to get it to show up at the top of my screen or close the Application window.
    I took the machine in for repair and they replaced the screen and told me that not being able to open folders, go to the Application folder or ANY folder was a software issue and not a hardware issue. They recommended I remove EVERYTHING in my Startup Login Options when I got home and that would fix the problem, it did not - I removed all 4 applications in the startup and nothing changed.
    I rarely install applications, but I faithfully repair permissions at least daily and I have installed all of the latest updates Apple released in the last 2 weeks.
    Thing I have done so far
    1. Repaired Permissions
    2. Verified The Disk
    3. Reinstalled Leopard And All The Updates
    4. Run Most of the options built into Onyx, Maintenance and Mac Pilot, since I have them already installed.
    Nothing has made a difference, I am still unable to run anything in my applications directory, open ANY folder on my desktop or any other directory, drag an icon to my applications folder or drag a folder or icon on my desktop.
    The only things I can do is run what few applications I have in my Dock and search for Applications using Spotlight and run them from there. They come up quickly and run just fine once they come up.
    Any help or suggestions someone could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much for your time!
    Randy

    Repairing permission daily is a complete waste of time and will not help you. In fact, repairing the disk permissions needs to only be done about 2-3 times a year at best.
    You say you verified the disk but did you repair it? Did you get a message that the "disk appears to be o.k."? What kind of install did you do? My guess is you did an archive and install.
    Onyx is a troubleshooting tool and should not be used on a regular basis for anything. Caches do not need to be cleaned on a regular basis and everything else Onyx and similar utilities claim to do are handled by the system automatically. Do not use these utilities unless you are having a problem.
    My guess is you have a serious problem with file corruption.
    Have you tried creating a new account? Try that and see if the problem follows to the new account or not.

  • Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud.  When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3.  I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

    Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade.  when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3.  I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.  How can i get Pages 5.0?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
    If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
    Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

  • Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window

    Yes, yes, I've googled it already.  And bing-ed it just for fun too.
    This doesn't work:
    http://windowsxp.mvps.org/samewindow.htm
    Nor does this:
    http://blog.hansmelis.be/2009/05/17/windows-vista-explorer-opens-folders-in-a-new-window/
    Yes, yes, I've checked the Open in same folder option in folder options.
    I've used shellex to disable context menu items.
    I've rebooted a hundred times.
    This is rediculous.  Windows should only recognize ONE setting for this and that is the one in folder options.  Anything else that affects it is a BUG!
    I'm on build 7100 RC.
    And I'm quite frustrated with this.
    Please help!

    <<...tried to import the key from that known-good windows installation ...... (but
    was 64bits)...>>
    importing x64 keys to an x86 installation may not work.  HKLM\WOW6432Node\Classes\Interface would have to be combined with (overwrite)
    the standard location and then that be copied/imported to the x86 install.  Even then, there might be some unanticipated problems. 
    It's good that you had a registry backup available in system restore.  Although I like the inherent security and reliability in the Vista/Win7 system restore implementations, one thing that I miss was being able to pluck only the registry files from
    a restore point; like I used to do with WinXP.
    <<...Yes, my case is precisely (Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window) on
    Win7. ....>>
    Also, that is too general.  There is more nitty-gritty details that have to be verified, such as whether the issue is per-user,
    or whether the "Explore" option is in bold and works properly when manually selected.  In a lot of cases, that simply may not be in bold which means it's no longer the default action on double-click.  (requires different set of steps to resolve,
    focusing on another part of the registry)  But from what you've stated on JAVA update 20, there well could be some changes to the HKLM portion of that Interface key... don't know.  A before and after registry compare usually helps pin down the issue.
    EDIT 10y04m24d_130735:
     One other thing that occurs to me, is that the dreaded Yahoo toolbar often installs with Sun Microsystems's JAVA.  I've removed such toolbars on many browsers because they render IE8 unstable/unreliable with occasional to routine freezes/crashes.
