Matlab is not properly working on Macbook (MacOS Sierra)

Hi

I am trying to transit my work from Windows pc to Macbook.

The problem is that in my Macbook, the folder that Matlab "sees" is appearing dim and semi-transparent without letting me do anything. Not even imshow an image, althought the image is in the folder, I get the error

Error using images.internal.getImageFromFile (line 13)
Cannot find the specified file: "3d3.jpg".

Error in images.internal.imageDisplayParseInputs (line 74)
        images.internal.getImageFromFile(common_args.Filename);

Error in imshow (line 245)
    images.internal.imageDisplayParseInputs({'Parent','Border','Reduce'},preparsed_varargin{:}); 

Any idea why this might happens?

I also get an "Out of Space" label underneath the folder and documents just because I don't have enough free space in my icloud account. But that does not have anything to do, with my hard drive in Mac as it is literally Empty.

Which MATLAB version are you using?

Is your current directory your iCloud folder? If so try copying the image to your local drive.

Actually, I think I managed to sort this out. I made them appear. I just needed to try to run an .m file so Matlab asks me whether to Change Folder or Add to Path and it is sorted now. Thanks Walter. I just need to figure out now why I cannot open folders using double click in my Macbook.

I have to right click and choose OPEN. But it is not convenient. Do you know how do I fix this?

Are you referring to in Finder, or are you referring to the filebrowser in MATLAB ?

In MATLAB, filebrowswer is opening directories for me when I double click on them in High Sierra.

they are just folders on desktop thst do not open by double click but the same issue I faced when I transfered them to my documents folder

On the desktop -- so this is something in your Sierra, not a MATLAB issue ?
