Setting Default Indesign program with multiple versions installed Snow Leopard

Hi,
when having 2 versions of Indesign installed (CS4 and CS5), Snow Leopard uses CS5 as the default application to open INDD files.
Typically if you want to set a particular program as the default program, you right-click on the file, go to "get Info", then "open with" and pick the applications from the pulldown menu and then click right below it "Change All". Typically now that program has become the default program. This has worked all the time except in this case. When trying to set Indesign CS4 as the default program for all INDD files (use CS4 99% of the time and all INDD files on the system were created using CS4) it will not let me use the "change all" button. It automatically goes back to CS5. I want Indesign CS4 to be the default program.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Change file associations manually or have this freebie jewel do it for you. Most likely CS5 will take over again. Otherwise you can go fish on http://hints.macworld.com/ for another way.

  • Why can't I open InDesign Docs in Bridge since Installing Snow Leopard?

    I have CS3 Indesign. I have recently installed Snow Leopard. Since doing that I am unable to open Indesign files within Bridge. I get a very strange message that says 'missing required parameter 'from' for event open. What does that mean and can I fix it. If I drag my document to my desktop, most of the time it opens but sometimes it does not. I have to go up to the file menu and open from there. Is it a Bridge problem or is it an InDesign problem. Very annoying! Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?
    Also since installing Snow Leopard, I am unable to open multiple files in Photoshop. Once again I am doing this from Bridge.
    Any information would be most appreciated.

  • Problem with discdrive and installing snow leopard

    Frustration and desperation has settled in! Lets see if i can get some good help from fellow Apple users!
    Ok this is the problem:
    A few days ago my computer started to crash almost all programs on my MacBook. I would try to get get into Safari for example and it would SLOWLY start up and then after a few seconds into the prgram it give me the error message "This application Safari quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are NOT affected. Click to reopen..." Well again it does that with almost all my programs!
    So i took it to the Genius Bar in Munich Germany! (im currently here for business) There the representative of apple actually took my MacBook to the back, checked it for any HD damage and looked at it "under the hub", however couldnt find anything wrong with it physically. So he suggested to backup my HD just reinstall Mac OS X again. I asked him for the new Snow Leopard since i didnt have my startup CD there!
    Well im at home now and trying to install the System. However everytime i put the CD in it TRIES to start it up (up to 3 times) and then ejects it. Sometimes even it DOES load it up but then it would tell me to install the new system i would have to restart the computer and when i do that the same problem (3 upstart attempts then ejection) happens!!
    Now can anyone tell me why this is happening?! On a side note i also tried insert another DVD and CD and BOTH work just fine! I had a similar problem with a previous DVD b4 but the problem was irratic.. meaning sometimes it worked sometimes it doesnt! Any suggestions or do i need a new Discdrive?!

    If your MacBook is under warranty have them check the DVD drive. They replaced my DVD drive because it was doing the same thing. Try the following and see if it helps.

  • How do I set default to Pages instead of Appleworks in Snow Leopard?

    How do I change default from Appleworks to Pages in Snow Leopard?

    Section starts are a page property.
    If you don't want the text to misalign when you edit, break your text into individual stories for each section. Editing will then cause either an overset at the end of the section/story (in which case you can add a page or pages, or it will shrink away from the end of the last page leaving blank space. In Either case, your section starts will remain on the page where they are supposed to be.

  • Which version of Snow Leopard Do I Need?

    My MacBook is almost 4 yrs old and I'm running Leopard 10.5.8. Can I upgrad with any version of Snow Leopard and, if so, where is the best place to find a copy?
    Thanks

    Check the system requirements, then phone Apple sales to order a copy of Snow Leopard. After installation, you should download and run the 10.6.8 Combo Updater.

  • HT5361 Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox?  How can I stop this from happening?

    Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox?  How can I stop this from happening?

    It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
    "Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
    Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
    I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
    Thank you!!!

  • Adobe RUM with multiple versions of Creative Suite

    I am having an issue when running RUM on computers with multiple versions of CS installed. The computers are OS 10.7.4 and have CS5, 5.5 and 6 installed. When I run the RemoteUpdateManager command, a get a return of 'There doesn't seem to be anything to update', even though there are a slew of CS6 updates that need to be installed. On computers with just CS6 installed, RUM behaves as it should.

    Hi,
    RUM works fine for CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 products. Can you please provide aamu.log, this will help us in nailing down the cause of this issue.

    Here are three different methods >

    suggests using contacts groups.
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    You can set up groups in the Address Book application.
    If you are all going to use the same iTunes apps library, turn off "Automatically sync new apps" in the apps tab just below the list of apps.  Then you won't get new apps on your device unless you select them.

  • Since installing Snow Leopard and Lion two weeks ago, my iTunes program opens seemingly at will.  It usually starts playing music, too.  What is causing this?

    Since installing Snow Leopard and then Lion on my Intel-based iMac two weeks ago, my iTunes program seems to open at will whenever the computer is on.   It often begins playing music, as well.  What is causing this and how do I make it stop?

    There are ways to minimize, mitigate, and help avoid a lot of problems.
    Bootable backups.
    Zeroing a drive twice before using, and format it with SL DVD Apple Disk Utility for sure.
    Even a clean install should import old apps without having to reauthorize.
    If you must do an upgrade, do it from the SL DVD, after repairing the drive and be sure to use the SL version of Alsoft Disk Warrior (4.2).
    Wait six months before jumping on a new OS.
    10% is still too many. Yes, it is more sensitive to RAM and hard drive errors, doesn't like some controllers; most ext hdd cases; and enough software to make for test-only status. And it only IDs some known incompatible applications, drivers, extensions, etc and does not remove even those always in best manner.
    Plus, there are problems with the new Rosetta and the cache files it now uses. So some apps and plug-ins will cause more trouble. Not all are ready. Good reason to hold off for the months it takes.
    Other devices act different as far as on/off behavior.
    (Migrating from G5s to Mac Pro can cause all kinds of problems, weird behavior, sluggish system, and why anyone that went down that road was strongly recommended to NOT use Migration Assistant for any of their applications, and to ONLY do clean/fresh installs of any apps. If you skipped that day, didn't read the Guide to M.A., or didn't want to do fresh installs then, your system could have been on borrowed time. If you did do clean install of applications, great.
    Installing SL can result in a corrupt directory - I think and it "seems" to be happening, but no real proof, just gut feeling and instinct (underlying file system problem? weak sectors that pre-existed waiting to happen?).
    Remember all the "there just aren't a lot of 64-bit drivers" for Vista and XP? it's come home to roost.
    ... my guess is not enough incense and offerings. To hop into TimeMachine and SuperDuper backup images and pull the 1TB for another day (week, month, year).

  • Install Snow Leopard Server Software on non server version mac mini (2009)

    Recently purchased Snow Leopard Server software to install on a early 2009 mac mini (non server version) running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. My goal is to set up and manage a server for a small group and leverage some of services from snow leopard server.
    First of all, can server software be installed on a early 2009 mac min configured with Mac OS X Snow Leopard? This 2GHz Intel Core Duo mac mini has 2GB Ram and 120GB HD. Will the server software install remove the current snow leopard software or is there any special steps I need to take to get the server version software loaded on this mac mini. Any suggestions or advise is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes you can install it on your mini And Yes it will wipe the mini clean with a fresh install of the server software.

  • Installing snow leopard on a partition with lion as the native os

    I want to use quicken on my lion macbook pro. i tried installing snow leopard into a partition but can't install it. i can't start from the install disk and neither can i just designate the partition as the destination. thanks

    Joerel- You may not be able to boot that Mac with that DVD but it should be able to boot from a fully-updated version of Snow Leopard + Combo Update (preferably 10.6.8v2) since that model originally shipped with Snow Leopard. Getting Snow Leopard onto it might be an insurmountable challenge; it depends on your available resources.
    You're going to need a Mac that can boot from that DVD or already has 10.6.8v2 installed. You should then be able to clone that other Mac's boot volume over to the partition you set aside on your newer Mac's internal hard drive.
    Remember that you will need to use the Combo Updater, not the "delta" update from Software Update, if you want to be sure this will work. The reason for this is that you need to be sure the components for the newer Mac are included in the OS, which the original DVD install obviously does not have and the "delta" updates may not have.

  • After installing Snow Leopard problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts

    I've never really have a problem with any of apple's products until now.
    After installing Snow Leopard I've found problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts,
    which is a BIG problem if you work in DTP or print. You CAN'T remove the system version of Helvetica, and replace it with your own anymore.
    Also Flash CS4 seems to be a dead duck, as after about 5-6 seconds of loading the program it crashes with a "KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE".
    <title edited by host>

    Thanks Tom but the original post title was "Work in DTP, don't install snow leopard", but of course apple were unhappy with the title. I know the issue/problem has been discussed for months, the real problem is that it shouldn't be a problem which everyone has to find work arounds for.
    After 4 days of playing about, I've finally got flash CS4 working and Quarkxpress was also a big problem for a few months. Printer description (PPD) files which snow leopard doesn't like, but worked in tiger & leopard.....means I can't use my two A3 inkjets for proofing anymore.
    I'm just disappointed by snow leopard

  • I cannot connect with people on video chat after installing Snow Leopard.

    As soon as I installed Snow Leopard I tried to connect (Video) with a friend through iChat, and it kept saying the person declined the invitation. Is this a known issue.

    Hi,
    iChat reads the full rate of your Connection Speed in iChat 5 rather than the setting in iChat 4 that read the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming speed as it's speed in Leopard.
    I have a G4 running Leopard and calling from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro gets the Declined message where as starting from the G4 and calling the Macbook Pro even using an AIM Buddy list, works.
    I suspect but have no proof yet that the faster speed makes iChat think the other end has not replied and the "Declined" message is the default one.
    I would get the declined even before the Visible Invite had go to the G4.
    I set the iChat menu < Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit to 500kbps with no apparent improvement.
    I have since called other Buddies from the MacBook Pro and been successful.
    (which throws my theory somewhat)
    As a Side note the Connection Doctor (Video Menu of iChat) has a Network Status item now and I get Port Restricted which is coloured Amber as being one of the less favoured NAT methods.
