10.4.7 update screws up image file associations

Since installing the 10.4.7 update, all my image files now open in Preview as the default application, regardless of Type or Creator.
I know that the file association of an individual can be changed via Get Info, however, I have 11,000+ image files in various formats as well as several thousand PDFs scattered across three hard drive, and do not want to waste several days tracking them all down and changing their file associations manually.
I know that the "Change All" button in the Get Info panel is supposed to change all documents of a given type to the selected application, however, the "Change All" function seems to be broken because hitting "Change All" simply reverts everything to Preview.
Deleting Preview does not solve the problem, as everything then defaults to Image Tricks; deleting Image Tricks simply defaults everything to Color Sync; deleting Color Sync defaults everything to Graphic Converter, which is fine for JPEGS, but I need Photoshop files to open in Photoshop, Illustrator files to open in Illustrator, etc.
Is there a script or other simple way of changing the default application for various file types at the system level, i.e., so that .JPG always open in Graphic Converter, .PSD and .TIF in Photoshop, .PDF in Acrobat Reader, etc.?
Thanks.

Well, I had it happen to me again yesterday, i.e., all graphics files defaulting to Preview. I changed them back using the procedure I used earlier, but if this continues, it's going to be a MAJOR problem.
Even after you selected, for
example, Graphic Converter as the default application
in the Open With pop-up menu, per step 3 in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing
the application that opens a document."
Unfortunately, no, not even after selecting Graphic Converter as the default app in the Open With menu.
I think you
mean Show Inspector, which is Command-Option-I, vs.
Command-I for Get Info. The Inspector displays
common info for a selection of objects, so you can
change the default app for multiple files in one
window.
Hmm ... I get the same "Multiple Item Info" panel whether I hit Command-I and Command-Option-I if I have more than 10 files selected. In any case, I hit Command-I to bring up the Multiple Item Info panel.
3. The anomalies you described are very strange. As
a general check, run the Procedure specified in my
"Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache
Corruption" FAQ. I'd recommend at least running
Steps 1-3.
I'll give it a go. Thanks!

7.0.9 update screws up Konqueror File manager in Fedora 7

Reader was running fine and I did the latest update. Since then I can't navigate in the Konqueror file browser any more as the reader made itself the mode to open everything. If I click on a folder Reader opens (naturally empty). I de-installed it and now I get the error message that KDEinit can't find acroread (sure, I got rid of it).
The same happened to my wife in WinXP but there the problem was fixed by uninstalling Acroread.
Does somebody know how to fix Konqueror???? I don't need Acroread any more as there are sufficient less intrusive readers available.
Thanks,

Image File Associations

What is the easiest/best way to force all JPEG & PNG images to open with Quicktime PictureViewer? I've tried changing the type/creator codes with a shareware app I downloaded, but still no success. Do I have to use the file helper utility that comes with IE, or is there another way? Thanks for any tips.
David

Hi, David -
IE's prefs settings are concurrent with the same ones made in the PC Exchange tab of the File Exchange control panel. You can go down the list in that control panel's tab and change all the relevant ones to QuickTime Player.
Often when QuickTime is installed, re-installed, or updated, those settings are made automatically by the installer.
Both the above apply only to files not yet on your machine, such as ones being downloaded or viewed from non-Mac media.
Files already on your machine probably already have had File Type and Creator codes assigned. As long as there is a program on your machine that matches the Creator code in a file, that program will be used to open the file when it is double-clicked. If you do not have a program matching the Creator code in the file, then Finder will use the setting in File Exchange's File Translation tab, or, if there is none set there, ask you to pick an app to use.
The easiest way to 'fix' a file that I've found is to use a droplet, such as those which can be created using the OS 9 version of FileBuddy. The advantage of a droplet is that you can drop a folder full of files onto the droplet, and every file will be changed to match the settings in the droplet. This is much easier than changing each file individually. Although there are other utilities around thaty can be used for that, such as FileTyper, FileBuddy also allows setting other changes to files in its droplets, such as Crated/Modified date and time; visible/invisible; locked/unlocked; and most any other file attribute.
FileBuddy 7, the last version for OS 9, can be got here - http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy/en/8/index.html

Changing image file association?

When I set up the iPhone on my computer I accidently set Publisher as default image program. Now every time I plug in the iPhone it opens Publisher, which I have never used in my life.
How can I change that to another program?

One thing that you can do that might help
When the iphone is connected to the computer, open my computer.
The iphone should show up under scanners and cameras.
Right click on the Apple iPhone and choose properties.
Go to the events tab.
Here you can set what the computer does when a camera is connected such as the iphone.
Set it to take no action and the computer will wait until you do something
Hope this helps.

New Apple Java update breaks jnlp file association

I thought this might be helpful for other people experiencing this problem.
It seems that the latest Java update for Macs (10.5 update 4) breaks the file association for jnlp files. When you use one it opens up a text editor. To make matters worse they have moved the location of Web Start.
The only way we have been able to fix this is:
1. Control-click the jnlp file that was downloaded to the desktop and select Get Info
2. Click Open with and select Other.
3. At the top of the window select All Applications in the Enable box.
4. Browse to /System/Library/CoreServices and select Java Web Start.
5. Click the Always Open With checkbox at the bottom.
6. Click the Add button.
7. Double-click the jnlp file on the desktop which should now launch the workbook.
If anyone else has some more information or another solution, then please reply here.

Thank you so much for this. I didn't find this post the first time I searched on this problem, and I was mired down in versions-specific directories with javaws--which appears only as a link that cannot be used as an association.
MUCH appreciated!

Lost file associations (Not the old version issue) Win 7 & CS5

Something corrupted my installation of CS5 a month or so ago after it had been working correctly and I lost all the image file associations. Photoshop worked fine but only if I directly opened files from within. Also all the other image packages were missing from the file association list in the Windows 7 file associations tool, not just Photoshop. Using the Windows tool to find the programmes dot exe file and create an association also locked up at the select the right package phase.
I have fixed this now and my reason for posting is that several previously suggested fixes in both the MS Windows fora and elsewhere on these Adobe forums were either very complicated requiring direct registry editing or didn't work. It has taken me a while to find a work-around that worked, hence this post.
1) Firstly - as is stated elesewhere the obvious answer of simply reinstalling Photoshop over the existing copy doesn't work! Unfortunately it was a while before I found this out, with several time wasting retries of this as a fix attempt.
2) Not saying this is guaranteed to work in every case but I ran a 3rd party free Registry Cleaner tool, this appears to have fixed the bug in the registry allowing the Windows 7 File Associations tool to work properly again. Once that was fixed linking up each graphic type was simple.
Reason for posting is I wasted lots of time thinking the issue must have been a legacy from my earlier instal of a trial version of Master Suite or the older Photoshop 7 being replaced even though my CS5 edition had been working Ok for some time. because this is what is given as the usual cause. However I think in my case it was after loading and then deleting other graphics software, possibly Real Player, which had grabbed the associations and corruped registry settings somehow at uninstall. It appears registry cleaner restored the corruption and allowed the standard Win 7 tool to work again.
Hope this can help someone else.

First, let me say thanks to John for posting his experience here. I think that Adobe does a poor job of managing file associations, given that we do hear of a lot of folks who see them get fouled up due to doing normal things like uninstalling earlier versions.
I'd like to ask, though: Did you try using the Preferences - File Type Associations dialog in Bridge?

Not being a computer "geek" myself I personally can not say it is a bad thing to try
A comment on "registry cleaners" in general:
I am a career computer "geek", and yes, Curt's right: Registry cleaners in general are a terrible idea. There are a few that encompass some valuable functionality such as deletion of old files from TEMP folders, but that's something one can do on one's own as well.
It's simply impossible for the programmer of a piece of software to know what information can be safely deleted from YOUR file system or YOUR Windows registry, which is a database.
Nor is it necessary to "clean" a registry regularly, as some say, to keep a system working well. That's hype, propagated by the registry cleaner makers. I use a system every day that's on the same installation of Windows 7 that first went in at the end of 2009. It's stable and fast as ever. I've even done several hardware upgrades and restored the same OS setup using system image backups just to keep the same fully configured, perfectly working system.
Ever hear people claim they have to reinstall Windows every so often? One of the reasons could well be that they've used a registry cleaner.

Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now. No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
File name: VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
Failed to transfer data
Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server. I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts. Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work. Please advise.
Thanks.

The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.

How to update image files in web pages generated by servlet without redeploying

HI,
I have a servlet which generates html pages with images. Those images changes
as they are graph generated regularly. They are placed in s directory where the
application is deployed. It is necessary because I have made some security constraints
for the location of those files. However it seems that when I deploy my application
on WLS all files contained in the application directory are cached, and when for
ex. I delete some of them they are still appear in generated html pages. only
Redeployment of application updates the state of those files.
Is there a way to make the application to be aware of any changes in images files
and to load updated ones??
i would be interested in a situatioin like with default WLS servelt (DefaultWeb
Application) where any new files are seen as soon as they are placed in Default
WebApplication directory.
Is there a way to periodically redeploy application from CLI?
thx in advance

IWeb site update problem-app missing images/files, but site is ok

I created and uploaded a web site to my .mac (yeah, MobileMe) and it displays just fine. I have visited it from a couple of different comps. The problem is that I want to add/update files/pages, but when I open iWeb, several of the images/audio files do not display: shows a x-through and a centered question mark. They are in the sites idisk folder and in the laptop's copy of the files. When I try to replace the missing images/files by dragging onto the iWeb drafting page the following message appears: "the file can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it contains no content or was corrupted."
I'm afraid to make any updates for fear of losing what is already published.
Extra info: have family pack and am switching between .mac accounts because iWeb published to the iDisk corresponding to the account/sub-account you are logged into (BIG pain in the ***! It should have a password protected account toggle like Panther used). I have double-checked that the files for this site are only in the one iDisk account (am redirecting my masked domain url to the .mac iDisk server-works great.
Any ideas?

The upgrade from '06 to '08 which changed the domain.sites to a domain.sites2 caused more confusion, disasters and lost web sites than the bug ridden introduction of '09.
I ended up rebuilding all my sites from new, blank domain files in '08 and the conversion to '09 went OK apart from '09's nasty habit of changing media file links.
Fortunately, I have very little QuickTime content and don't use the iWeb Photos, Albums Blog or Podcast templates.
Most iWeb built sites look pretty awful when users stick to the default page width. I start from a Blank, Black or white page and trash everything on it.
I use the "standard" 980 px page width and most, if not all, of the iWeb themes do not adapt to this.
This is why I constantly ask the question. "Do the iWeb developers actually build any websites with the application?".
Perhaps if they did, we would get more bug free releases and some of the features that "real life" users are requesting.

Linked Images/Files not Updating to Remote Versions

Recently, I've noticed that when I go to upload a new page to our company intranet, any linked images or files do NOT update to the linked versions when they are uploaded --- they are still pointing to the versions on my local drive, so all users see a broken image or are linked to a broken file. I am putting/checking in dependent folders, and the images/files are successfully loaded to the intranet.
I'm able to fix the issue by manually locating the remote versions of the image/file and inserting it into my .html by hand, but obviously I would prefer to be able to do this automatically. This only started happening recently, as I never had trouble automatically updating links. As far as I know, no settings have changed.
This is for CS5. Any ideas? Let me know if there are any relevant settings or info I can provide.

Sounds like you have not created a Site Definition in DW. If you're working within a properly defined local site folder, DW correctly manages paths & assets for you.

NSS6000 "Firmware Update Error: The firmware image file is corrupt."

Hello All,
I've recently run into a problem trying to update the firmware on our NSS6000 to either 1.20.1 or 1.21.0. We are currently running 1.16-3.
Each time after I click "Upgrade Firmware", the upgrade fails with the same error: "Firmware Update Error: The firmware image file is corrupt. Obtain another copy of the file and try the firmware upgrade again".
I've tried re-downloading the NSS6000_FW_1.20.1.tar.gz and NSS6000_FW_1.21.0.tar.gz several times from multiple PCs, and using multiple browsers. I've tried several combinations of Windows Server 2003R2, Windows Server 2008R2, Windows 7, and Firefox, Chrome, and IE 8/9.
The downloads all appear to be fine, and they all can open/extract with 7-zip without issue. The file sizes are always the same.
No combination of OS/Browser yields a different result on the upgrade attempt either.
I tried renaming NSS6000_FW_1.21.0.tar.gz to NSS6000_fwupgrade_0121.tar.gz to match the convention used in early versions (thinking that the extra "."'s could be the issue) but no luck either.
I was able to successfully re-apply the NSS6000_fwupgrade_0116.tar.gz firmware without any issues at all.
A strange thing I noticed, though, was on the "The system will reboot now. Please close your browser." window, it shows the device as an "NSS2000 2-Bay Gigabit Network Storage System" (please see attached screenshot). I'm chalking that up to a simple reusing-the-same-web-code issue rather than the root of the problem, but thought I should mention that as well.
Has anyone else run into this issue, or have any suggestions for workarounds in order to successfully upgrade the FW on this device? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
Not sure what is going on i haven't see the issue you are having, can you try downloading both images at a different location; instead of behind your router. Also upgrade to .20 and then .21. Im pasting the release notes upgrades step.
When upgrading the firmware from v1.12 to v1.14, v1.12 to v1.20.1, or v1.12 to
v1.21.0 the Configuration GUI displays a "Programming images.." message
for more than 12 minutes (the time it takes to upgrade the firmware is
usually 5 to 10 minutes).
The workaround is to wait at least 15 minutes to complete the upgrade and
then power cycle the NSS by removing the power cord. Do not try and
access the Configuration GUI during this time. (CSCsx17923) When upgrading the firmware from v1.12 to v1.14, v1.12 to v1.20.1, or v1.12 to

How to update an image file into existing file

how to update an image file into existing file

Hi,
So, i assume you want to change one picture. On Stage, i have edgeAnimate (an image), and
1) i am using the div tag.
So: sym.$("edgeAnimate").css("background-image", "url(images/myImage.png)" ); will change my picture.
Link: CSS properties.
More CSS:
sym.$("edgeAnimate").css( { "background-image": "url(images/myImage.png)", "background-size": "100% 100%", "background-repeat": "no-repeat", "cursor": "pointer" } );
Using a path variable:
var myPath = "images/myImage.png";
sym.$("edgeAnimate").css( { "background-image": "url("+myPath+")", "background-size":"100% 100%", "background-repeat":"no-repeat", "cursor": "pointer" } );
2) i am using the img tag.
I can add a class using Edge Animate user interface.
I choose one class name: "newImage".
So: sym.$(".newImage").css("background-image", "url(images/myImage.png)" ); will change my picture.
Note: I assumed you don’t need to preload your picture.

Disc image file exported from Encore CS4 won't work

Hello,
I have a problem concerning the export of a disc image file in Encore CS4. I recently upgraded to CS4 and wanted to continue my project which I started editing with CS3. While working with CS3 I already did image files from this project for burning and testing the DVD. Back then it worked with no problems.
However, since using the CS4 version Encore does the image without any problem, but I can't use the image file in any way afterwards. I mounted it with Daemon Tools as I did before, but the DVD won't play in any software DVD player I have installed (Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, Nero Showtime) nor can I access the file structure over a file manager. Nevertheless NeroInfoTool and ImgBurn say there is a DVD in the virtual drive. Then I exported the DVD project into a folder and now I can see the files in the file manger but again no player will play it.
Has anyone experienced this before and is able to help? It would be very appreciated since I don't want to downgrade back to CS3 :-)
It's Encore CS4, Version 4.0.1.048 on a 2,8 GHz HT CPU, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6800 UT, lots of HDD space, XP + SP3.
Thank you,
Chris...

Hey,
thank you both. As I said no player accepts the project exported to a folder. It doesn't matter if I point the player to the video_ts.ifo or just the folder - it won't play. As a consequence I re-installed Encore CS3 in which exporting worked fine and guess what - the exported image and folder output doesn't work either. Since it worked before in CS3 it comes down to the conclusion that either I did some editing to the project that screwed the project or Encore CS4 did. Checking for mistakes in the project and previewing in inside CS4 everything seems fine. So might it be CS4 that ****** up the project file??? I mean it's full of strange bugs so it could easily be that. I even updated my Daemon Tools yesterday and it won't make a difference.
Or could it be something else I haven't considered yet? Any ideas? I just don't want to build the whole project again which might not even work if it's some other error. This is a desperate call for help
Thanks,
Chris...

Hi,
Add this line inside your run() method, right before your call to repaint():
if (image != null) {image.flush();}Hope this helps,

Code doesn't update when uploading new files to website.

code doesn't update when uploading new files to website. I was using an old DW version for a long time then forced to upgrade when I bought my MacBook Pro. Now when I make changes to my pages and link to new files etc on my harddrive, when i upload the pages it won't image because the code still points to harddrive (this did not used to be a problem)... I manually changed the code on the web host site to point to the site and it loaded fine. But now my files on my harddrive also point to the web host files and now don't image on my computer. I never had to worry about this so far and wonder if the new version has a setting I'm supposed to be aware of so that I can design on my hardrive and upload and it knows that the files are being uploaded with it? Ugh hpe this makes sense - I'm NOT a webs designer and the new DW is way more than I use in it's technology.
