Using office outlook under parallel desktop double click on an Excel attachement does not open the document in Excel

using office outlook under parallel desktop double click on an Excel attachement does not open the document in Excel.
double-click opens Excel Office 2011 for mac without the document.
It should open the document in Excel 2010 for Windows.

In Parralells, choose the file you want to open.
Right Click on it and choose Properties.
In the General Tab you will see "Opens with:"
Click the "Change ... " button.
Then choose Excel 2010. The checkbox below should be set to "Always use ... "

  • Double click (or 2 finger touch) does not open event in iPhoto

    When I double click or 2 finger touch on an event, it does not open the event. instead, it offers "Play slideshow" or "Make key photo". Also, when within an album, a double click does not enlarge the thumbnail. I am using iPhoto 11 and OS X 10.8.4 and the track pad.

    That is not the normal way to double click on a track pad (although you can change setting in the trackpad control panel)
    Double click is two (double) clicks in quick succession
    a two finger click is "right Click" and the menu you are getting is the right click menu

  • Double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail

    double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail unless I go to forward or reply. In other words, I may see a couple sentences, then it's just blank, no scroll bar either. This gets annoying. Anybody else get this or know how to overcome this?

    Well, there is no such thing as an AOL type account in Mail. Such an account must be set up as either POP or IMAP. Nevertheless, knowing that the ISP for one of the accounts is AOL is useful because it seems that other people also have this problem with AOL -- see Chuck Coulson's and smackwell's posts in this thread.
    I don't think I'll be able to help you with the AOL account other than telling you to try rebuilding the mailbox -- select the mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu. Have you tried that?
    The problem shouldn't happen with the POP account, however. Do you experience the same problem with it as well?

  • When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

    When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

    Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
    Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
    Then click next followed by finish.
    You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
    Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
    Then click next, followed by finish.
    Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred. On Mac try launching directly from Applications. [if not using PSE13 substitute your own version and go to Program Files (x86)]

  • Left click on a link does not open the link; a small blue window opens saying loading then closes.

    Left click on any link in a web page does not open the link. A very small blue window appears with the word loading and a few moving dots. In a few seconds the blue window closes but the link does not open. Links used to open. If I right click the link, I can open the link in a new window. Many new windows pile up. This is a nuisance.
    I am using Firefox 3.6.8 for Canonical 1.0 in Ubuntu 9.10.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up.

    I am using MacBook Air with Yosemite OS. After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up. Could you please give me suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you

    That's a bit vague, but you may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • CS5: double-click on file does not open the file

    If Photoshop is closed, double-click on a file will always successfully launch Photoshop and open the picture.
    If Photoshop is running, double-clicking on a file will activate Photoshop, but very often the file does not open. It works from time to time though, and that seems to be on a random basis.
    Opening a file through the Open command will always work.
    I am working with 10.6.3 on a loaded Mac Pro.
    Did anybody experience this difficulty? Any help would be appreciated, before I take more drastic measures like reinstalling the software of worse than that. I've already done the usual maintenance operations.

    Caustic waltz, while brief, may have hit the nail on the head. If you do not want to continue this thread, you can search the forum for existing posts about Snow Leopard and file-program association confusion. Snow Leopard changed some things and that might be your issue.
    More simply, do your image files have extensions? (.PSD, .JPG, etc...)
    Hello Marian:
    While browsing through my Adobe account, I saw that you took the time to leave a comment two days ago. While it did not solve my problem, I will mark your comment as "helpful" for several reasons. It could have been a cause. And I will add politeness, courtesy and language precision. I'm an old guy and I quite value those elements.
    True, Snow Leopard changed changed the way files are associated to applications. Thank God! Here in our small office, we do a lot of cross-platform transfers and finally it works seamlessly. A good description of the new file identification system can be found here.
    Now, here are the reasons why Snow Leopard cannot be put at fault in my case:
    • If Photoshop CS5 is not launched, double-clicking on any psd, tiff or jpeg file will launch it and open properly.
    • If Photoshop CS5 is already running, double-clicking on any psd, tiff, or jpeg file will activate Photoshop CS5 but will not open.
    This points at either a bug or damaged Photoshop CS5, or maybe a damaged OS. Don't forget that out of maybe a hundred apps, this is the first time I meet with that problem. Of course, the easier course, but by no means guaranteed to work, is to presume that Photoshop CS5 is damaged or that its installation did not work properly. So I did the following things:
    • I deactivated Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled it.
    • I ditched all remaining files related to CS5, CS4, CS3, CS2, CS... yes I know, but then you know as well as I do0 that getting really rid of Photoshop is a daunting task. It took me almost two hours, but I am reasonably sure that the cleaning job was complete.
    • I reinstalled Photoshop CS5.
    Now everything works just fine at least for the time being. Time will tell, of course, but I think that the problem is solved.

  • Somehow my calender was erased. How do I restore it? I have time machine. Fortunately it was synched with Outlook, so I still have it there. But Ical does not recognize the Outlook file. Is there a way to restore from Outlook? resi

    Somehow my calendar in iCal was deleted. It was not archived. I have Time Machine. How do I restore? Fortunately it was synched to Outlook, so it is not lost. I would like to out it back in iCal but iCal does not recognize the Outlook file.

    Thank you. It's all back to normal (took around 7 hours on the late 2009 iMac). Time Machine's become better now compared to the last time I used it to migrate everything automatically (Snow Leopard days). With Maverick's Time Machine, it's almost like a cloning (except for the password) tool now. But it's always great to name the account and maybe the hardisk the same names so can just replace a newly installed OS.
    God bless. Thanks again.

  • Clicking on thumbnail in iPhoto does not open image for editing/viewing.

    Clicking on images in iPhoto 7 does not open large images for editing or viewing. No ? or ! shows, just blank white screen with all buttons active as if the image is ready for editing. iPhoto library is about 50GB. What I've tried: created new library and imported 20 photos, rebuilt library w/keys using last 3 items in list, rebuilt library using iPhoto Library Manager. Quit everything, repaired permissions via Disk Utility. Nothing has worked. Was working fine a few days ago with same camera, same settings, etc. Utterly baffling, would love other suggestions?

  • Upon clicking Firefox icon-Firefox page does not open

    Without any apparent reason, upon clicking Firefox icons, Firefox does not open. Appears the sign asking to wait on the screen, and the graphics for the icon being "pressed" but the page does not appear.
    Thanks!

    Make sure that "Match case" on the find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check mark.
