Open Jpeg with iPhoto choice in contextual menu?

In Snow Leopard I could right click on a Jpeg file in a finder window and get a contextual menu listing the recommended applications to open the file. The first one was "Preview" the second was "Safari" and the third was "Send Jpeg to iPhoto." The last choice is not available in Lion. I can obviously choose iPhoto to open the file from the "choose application to open file" in the contextual menu, but that takes a couple of more steps. I could have all Jpeg files open in iPhoto, but I don't want to have that happen with every Jpeg.
Can I do anything to restore that feature in Lion? Maybe it's just hidden somewhere.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

No "decrypt" choice in contextual menu - need to decrypt an encrypted external hard drive

I have a Firewire 800 external hard drive that I had previously encrypted using the contextual menu. I want to change the password on this drive so I'm trying to decrypt it and re-encrypt it while assigned a new password. I have Filevault 2 enabled on my iMac but this shouldn't affect this external drive. I also have a Firmware Password enabled on this iMac, but again, this shouldn't prevent a "decrypt" option in the contextual menu.
"Encrypt" is present in the contextual menu. When I attempt to use this option it appears to allow me to assign a new password. When I click "Encrypt" I get this message: "The target Core Storage volume is already encrypted." It's true that the drive is already encrypted, that's why I'm trying to decrypt it.
I'm running the latest version of Mountain Lion on a late 2012 iMac. I've searched online for someone with a similar problem, but haven't found this problem reference. Does anyone have any idea as to why "decrypt" is not an option on this external drive, but it is on similar external drives that are also already encrypted. Thanks.

Thanks for your help, Linc. By the way, I mistakenly said I had Filevault and Firmware turned on. Actually, they are NOT enabled on the iMac. Here's what I got in my Text Edit window:

My iphone 3gs will not sync with my itunes, instead it open up with iphoto who do I get it to sync with itunes?

How do I get my iphone 3GS to open up and sync with itunes and not iphoto? My iphone thinks it's a camera and now I can't sync new music onto it.

It IS a camera.
Have you tried opening iTunes? Does iTunes detect that the iPhone is connected?

My iPhoto libraries have been made with older vs. and cannot open them with iPhoto application or Library Manager

I have multiple iPhoto libraries made with older vs. of iPhoto. I cannot open any now with either iPhoto or iPhoto Manager, just get a spinning icon.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Open Keynote with iPhoto

A nice trick? I was unable to open a Keynote file (V3). I had an older version of the file that would open, but forgot what I had added to the newer version. I opened the new version in iPhoto, which imported every picture and frame. I then opened the old file in Keynote and was able to compare the two files. Until there is a solution to the problem of files that Keynote can't open, at least I can now redo the files.

Opening jpegs from iPhoto in Camera Raw

Hi there, I really hope someone can help me as i have just purchased PSE10 for Mac and am a complete novice!. I have bought the book 'The photoshop elements 10 book for digital photographers' and would like to begin to learn to edit my jpeg photos (organised in iphoto) in camera raw, however after setting PSE 10 as my external editer it only opens the jpegs in an editer but not the camera raw one.
Is there a way of changing this? I've searched the net for a the answer but cant find it
I plan to take future photos in Raw mode so I only need this for my existing photos
Many thanks
Chris

Not sure about iPhoto but you cdan opeb directly from the Editor App.
Open the Editor and click:
File à Open
Select your image and choose camera raw as the format, then click the Open button.
The image should open in the Adobe Camera Raw dialog where you ca use all the regular sliders.
The attached notes should be helpful.

Opening video with iPhoto problem

iPhoto 8 (ver 7.1.5) doesn't open my videos (and Quicktime 10.0) anymore....do you know why?

You need to have Quicktime Player 7 for those. Do a custom install with your Snow Leopard install disk and select just Quicktime Player 7 for installation. It will get installed in your Applications/Utilities folder and iPhoto will then be able to play movie files.

Organizer deletes Exifs when opening Jpegs with Editor - Bug?

Hi,
I'm using PSE7 and since a few days I noticed that all Exif information of Jpegs which I open with the Editor (from the Organizer) will be deleted.
But only the Exifs of rotated (vertical) pictures will be deleted. I happens not from the beginning. No problems with the first few Jpegs, but after a while the Exifs of all rotated Jpegs I open for editing will be deleted...
Any ideas how to fix it?? Thanks!
Ariko

Hi John,
the first file is after the Exif data were deleted (IMG_5272)
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1yGGFOc39JLuwWvYnknNhYxLQmMe
the second file is before (IMG_5272a)
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1L1OKVAPhuHYduxWJztEEj75qWKbi
If I open the second file (original) with the editor without tagging it, then everything works fine.
But if I tag it before (in my case London 2009) and open the file for editing, then the Exif will be deleted (IMG_5272).
I'm using Win XP SP3 and PSE7 (both in German)
Thanks!

No option to open JPEGs with Adobe Camera Raw

I am not able to open jpg files into Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge or anywhere else for that matter. There is simply no option available in File to open in ACR (there's nothing that's even greyed out). Ctrl+R does nothing also. I just installed CS3 so I thought maybe it was an ACR 4.1 issue and downloaded ACR 4.2 to no avail. It will automatically open my CR2 images into ACR from Bridge.
Any ideas?

> I think I must be really dense because I don't see any bridge menu > camera raw preferences.
Lindsay,
You are not dense at all. That has been reported before. There are two possibilities:
1. You have Camera Raw installed in the wrong place or improperly (like not having removed the old ACR version); or
2.You have a bad install of Bridge (and possibly Photoshop). Before going any farther, what platform are you on, Macintosh or Windows?
I suspect Windows, since you mention "Ctrl-R". If that's the case, I'll let a Windozer help you.
If you're on a Mac, I can help guide you.

Clearing the Finder "Open With" contextual menu ?

After the install I now have duplicates of all the stuff I used to have in the open with menu.
Like VLC and then under it VLC (version number).
How do I clear it?

As seen here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305627
*Mac OS X: Clearing the Finder "Open With" contextual menu*
Ever wondered how to "clear" the Finder's Open With... contextual menu choices of any extraneous or older applications? (This is the menu that appears when you control-click or "right-click" a document icon.)
If your Open With... menu is filled with too many choices to easily scroll through, you can remove the less-commonly used choices. These steps will clear the list except for the most current applications that can open your document.
From the Finder Go menu, choose Home.
Open the Library folder in the Home window.
Open the Preferences folder.
Find com.apple.LaunchServices.plist.
Rename "com.apple.LaunchServices", such as to "com.apple.LaunchServices.old", or move it to the Trash.
The next time you use the Open With.... contextual menu in the Finder, only current applications will be listed. Some items may return if the application that controls them adds itself back to the list.

Clean up Finder "Open With" contextual menu in Yosemite

How do I clean up the Finder "Open With" contextual menu in Yosemite? I have several duplicate and obsolete entries in mine. There are several articles out there that show how to do this for previous versions of Mac OS X, but the instructions don't line up with what I see in Yosemite.
Also, the entries I have in the menu are from a version of Windows through a version of VMware Fusion, both of which versions I haven't used in a long while. I did a clean install of Yosemite this morning (on an erased disk) so I'm curious how the menu was populated. Did it somehow get inherited through the iCloud Keychain?
Thanks for any help!

Is there any way I can put iphoto directly in the list of program i get by ctrl clicking on a picture file? The only think i can think of is "always use this program", but then again i don't always want to do that...
Thanks a lot! It would save so much time in the end...

You can also import a complete folder of jpegs by drag and drop.
Its slightly trickier but will work. Some practise may be needed.
Select the library and scroll down to the bottom of the album pane. Pick up the folder and move the mouse pointer to a spot to the right of the Trash and between the lowest album and the one above. When a black line apears around the entire album pane just relase the folder and it will be imported as a complete album bearing the folder name.

How to stop CS4 opening JPEGs in Camera Raw?

Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone out there can help. Recently for some reason CS4 decided it wanted to open all JPEGs in Camera Raw.
I am trying to restore whatever setting has changed so JPEGs open directly in Photoshop not Camera Raw.
And before anyone states the obvious yes, I have deselected "Open JPEGs in Camera Raw" under Camera Raw prefs.
I am on a mac (OS X 10.5.7) and have installed the latest updates for CS4 (Camera Raw is version 5.0.0.178).
Any (constructive) input would be welcome. Cheers.

Generally, once a JPG has been opened in ACR and has an embedded adjustment
recipe it will continue to be opened in ACR even though you have the
preference set to not prefer ACR for JPGs.
Your verbiage is different than what I see for Camera RAW Preferences in ACR
5.4 on Windows, so maybe you need to update to the latest ACR or maybe Mac
and PC versions of ACR are different.
In my CS4 Extended (11.0.1) / Edit / Preferences / Camera RAW preferences
for ACR 5.4, down at the bottom, you can set JPG and TIFF Handling - JPEG to
Disable JPEG Support instead of Automatically open JPEGs with Settings to
make it ignore the settings in JPEG and/or TIFF files.

Can't upload Calendar with iphoto '08

I've got a calendar that I created using iphoto '08. I am trying to buy it, but it's failing to upload. I click on 'buy calendar', and it sits for a while saying 'connecting'. Then I get one of several error messages saying "This service is not available", or on other attempts: it gets as far as "Updating product information" before finally saying "A connection could not be established at this time".
I've got another computer with '09 on it. I can create a simple calendar there, and successfully get to connect. I don't want to have to recreate the calendar on the other computer. Is that possible? Is Apple trying to force people to upgrade?

You could try copying the 08 iPhoto library to the desktop of the other Mac, open it with iPhoto 09 to convert the library format to 09 and see if you can order the calendar then. Just don't copy the 08 library package into your Pictures folder and replace the 09 library. Keep the 08 library on the desktop.
There are no differences in the two versions of iPhoto as far as calendar themes is concerned so it must be something to do with the 08 version, library or connection from that Mac.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Can't open apps with contextual menu, or dragging onto dock icon

I've recently reinstalled Tiger and updated successfully with the 10.4.11 combo installer.
I've discovered that when, for example, I use the contextual menu to open a jpeg with Photoshop CS, nothing happens. If I try to drag it onto the Photoshop icon in the dock, the app will open but the file won't.
Double clicking the file opens it in Preview (default), but I sometimes want to do more than view it in preview - I want to edit it in PS. I can only open it from within PS. Also, when using Iphoto, even when I select external editor it won't open in Photoshop.
This is a new quirk and I've never had the problem before. I'd appreciate any suggestions of how I can solve this. Many thanks, Karen

Before I start trashing things, just to play it safe ... what are the consequences/downside of getting rid of those folders?
Just move them to the Desktop incase we need for some unknown reasin to put them back.
Should I just move them out one by one to see if I can isolate the problem?
Yes, you could do that, but... I think some prefs help rebuilding other prefs if present.
I have created a new "test user" - I guess I should log out/log in to see if the problem is still there before doing any throwing away of prefs, right?
Yep!
