Why does double-click not work for files of Firefox type under Windows 7 (Firefox 15.0.1)?

If in the Windows Explorer of Windows 7 I double-click the name of a file that is mentioned as being a Firefox file by its file type symbol, it should be launched. But this doesn't happen. If I select "Open with" > Firefox" in the file's context menu, nothing happens. But if I select another browser, the file will be launched.

Hi,
You can try to right-click a file > '''Open with''' > '''Choose default program''' > '''Browse''' (disregard any existing entry) and select Firefox, and also enable (tick) '''Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'''.

Why does double clicking not work in photos on my Mac Mini?

Why does double clicking not open desktop folders?

After installing OpenOffice, my Mac Mini suddenly lost the ability to open desktop folders by double clicking.
Open Office does not have a de-installer that I can locate.
Please advise.
Thank you!

You may have to log out and back into your account, or restart the computer, for the system to work correctly after a software installation; at times one could also try other things in what may be an exercise in futility just in case something comes from any frustration and accidentally helps resolve any issue that may be in hiding...
The 'safe boot' and 'repair disk permissions' and other antics sometimes will work to scare the gremlins out of a testy Mac. Or, perhaps it really is as simple as the man says. Adjust the mouse/trackpad in system preference? Could be the settings changed and it may be trying to interpret your clicks too fast.
I'd not tried 'open office' but some time ago did try the NeoOffice version and it was OK. Then again, so was old AppleWorks back in the day; unless you require some kind of need to parrot MS Office regularly.
Good luck & happy computing!

Why does control-click not work?

I just bought a used 2010 MacBook Pro, running a fresh install of OS X 10.8
I imported my user / apps from another mac, no problem.
Everything works fine EXCEPT CONTROL-CLICK DOESN'T BRING UP THE RIGHT CLICK MENU. If I do two-finger click, that works. But control-click doesn't.
I have repaired disk permissions, restarted, and reset PRAM. No luck.
Does anybody know how I might fix this?
Thank you!!

I believe somewhere in System Preferences > Keyboard there is an option to change the mapping of those keys. So for example pressing Control will instead register Command and so on. I can't remember exactly where though.

Why does the /s not work for me in the commandline?

We have a HD webcam pointed at a pooltable in our local poolbar. We use FMLE to stream to Dacast. To finish the project we want to automate the process: only stream between 17.00 and 01.00 hours every day.
It looks like FMLEcmd + batch/cmd files + scheduled tasks can make this possible.
I am diving into FMLEcmd. Starting up works fine. But stopping gives me troubles. I use the command: fmlecmd /s rtmp://live-ams.dacast.com/201346/21653+xxxx
Reply is: "Stop command send to FMLE."
Then i do fmlecmd /s and it says " All running FMLE sessions are: rtmp://live-ams.dacast.com/201346/21653+xxxx".
Questions:
1. What am i doing wrong here?
2. When starting a session through cmd, will it be visible when you open FMLE Gui?
Plan is to make two batchfiles: One to start FMLE streaming on a daily basis at 17.00 hours. And one to stop FMLE streaming at 01.00 in the morning. If somebody already has similar batchfiles ready for me to use, please let me know! If somebody has another solution for the above, also let me know!
Already implemented the reconnect interval and times in the XML file... that was needed...
Maybe stupid question: When i do the command "FMLEcmd", encoding starts, text displays "streaming to server", and i see bitrates moving. Is the only option then to close the command window? Because i see no cursor anymore?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

ADDON: I just restarted my computer to stop the streaming session. But doing fmlecmd /s still says:

Hi Vikrantt
Many thanks for your reply.
It doesn't give me an error message, it simply does not search. I type in my search term and it appears to search the document but then a dialogue box appears which says that my search term has not been found. This even happens when I am looking at a page in which my search term is clearly visible!
I am shutting down now until the morning as I have been working almost 12 hours.

Why does installation cd not work for new hard drive for 2009 MacBook pro?

my hard drive died in my 2009 MacBook pro so I bought a 1tb ssd drive and had the store physically install the drive only. I arrived home and stuck in the original installation disc and pressed and held the c key after the chime. Nothing happened. after a minute or so the screen turned black and rebooted up again with the chime. It would continue to reboot whether I pressed the c key or not. when i pressed the d key it would say:
"Apple hardware test does not support this machine"
why why isn't this working like it is supposed to?
thsnks

Ryan,
Have you tried using the Startup Manager (holding down the option key) whilst booting? If everything works as it should, you should be given the option to choose the DVD to boot. Holding down the 'D' key should load the Apple Hardware Test.
Good luck,

Why does my camera not work for Skype?

I downloaded Skype from the app store but for some reason my camera does not turn on. I have seen several responses on other various forums. I guess part of my problem is also the fact that I am not as technically sound as others and I get lost in the verbage being used. I tune out when the dialogue response gets too long.

in sted of using the Skype app from the app store i would do it munualy from the website. befor using the camera though on some apps or websites it should/might ask you to use the camera you will need to enter the password (if you have on) and click yes its a small box looks like something from windows. Hope that helped let me know if you have any further questions!!

Why double click not working ?

if the system have wizip/winrar installed...does it block to run executable jar whence they are doble-clicked ?
because when i doble-click on the executable jar file....it opens up in the winrar...it displays all the directory structure in the jar file.....but it never executes.
i have a jar in c:\
and i can run this way....
C:\>java -jar psae.jar Philip
Hello World Philip
why double click not working ?

This is because winzip or winrar has taken over the
Windows association with files of type .jar.
Assuming XP.YES.....its windows XP.
Click on the tools menu in any explorer window,
select "folder options" and choose the "file type"
tab. i tried that also earlier....anyway, here again one more time
please look at
http://img107.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nojar7ah.jpg
There is NO .JAR file association i find in that list.
you need to change the associaton of 'jar' to
"Opens with Java"

Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work

I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium. I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere. When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message. I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message. What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.

Thank you for the tip. Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
then reactivate the suite. I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
10.6.4. I do not even know where to start.

Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
system; no need to clear it and re-enter it.

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.
