[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1587075, member: 101749"] Repair Disk permissions.H Open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility Now click on your HD in the left column "NOT the Very TOP HD But the one underneath" Then Click the First Aid Tab Centre top of window, and then Repair Disk Permissions down the Bottom. Sit back, make a coffee and wait until its done. Don't worry about all the Errors it brings up, as this is normal (without explaining why) When its finished, restart your Mac now. Then go back into the Document, and try Double Clicking again. If not, right click and use the Contextual pMo open it in another Document, and see where we stand now. Its obviously there, but something is stopping us opening it (spinning wheel in Text Edit tells me something is a miss) If you get the spinning wheel again, Force Quit like I showed above and try right Click and opening it in another Application. If that doesn't work, right Clcik and then Get Info and see what permission the Document has Right down the bottom of that little Window Then come back and let us know how you went . . . Hoping the Repair Permissions will align the OS again and let us open it. :) [/QUOTE]
