All Files Try to open with Photo Viewer

I was downloading some pictures and when finished ,now all files try to open with photo viewer. (ie Word,Excel,Paint,just all files lised on the menu. If someone knows how to fix this pleas reply.

Hi ObiWanKanobe,
I recommend you check the Default Programs. Follow these steps:
1. Click Start – input “default programs”(without quotation)
2. Click Set your default programs.
3. Choose Windows Photo Viewer in the left panel, then Choose defaults for this program.
4. Make sure you don’t check other types of files, like doc and so on.
Then check if the issue persists.
Regards,
Miya

  • What does it mean when iPhoto displays a warning sign with an exclamation point when you try to open a photo in your library?

    What is iPhoto 11 trying to tell me when it displays a warning sign with an exclamation point in it when I try to open a photo in my library?  I'm corrupted file and that since there are many I may have a bad drive.  I have 2 time machine backups (one is off site) but its not clear to me if I can restore individual photos or whether it's worth even trying since ther are many.
    Any thoughts from people who have experienced this would be much appreciated.

    I rebuilt it using iPhoto Manager and that appears to have worked. I did the rebuild onto a different drive and I'm now working to determine if there is a problem the the external drive that held the corrupted library.

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

    I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas? 
    Thanks,
    Ian

    If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts.  There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

  • Photoshop CS5 keeps closing when I try to open a photo

    Ok...Photoshop launches just fine but as soon as I try to open a photo I get the message:
    "Adobe Photoshop CS5  has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    Anyone else expereinced this?
    thanks much!

    More or less standard advice in this kind of case is:
    1.  Your display driver may be buggy.
    Try disabling OpenGL drawing by choosing Edit - Preferences - Performance and unchecking [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing.  Restart Photoshop.
    If this helps, then chances are good that you need to update your display driver.  Go to the web site of the maker of your display adapter (video card) and download and update their latest.  EXCEPTION:  If you have an ATI Radeon card, avoid ATI Catalyst 11.3 and 11.4 - use 11.2 instead.
    2.  You may have a corrupted font on your system.
    If you have installed any fonts since the last time Photoshop worked, this is especially likely.  The workaround for this is to move all non-original Windows fonts to another folder temporarily and see if the problem goes way.
    3.  Your preferences may have gotten corrupted.
    Photoshop maintains a lot of preferences in files, and if any kind of system fault has resulted in nonsense values being written in those files, it may be driving Photoshop batty.  The preferences can be returned to defaults by pressing and holding Control - Shift - Alt when first starting Photoshop from its menu or shortcut.  If you're quick enough it will prompt you to delete your preferences.
    4.  Your document may be pointing to a non-existent printer or something's wrong with your default printer setup.
    I've seen several folks have their problems here solved by tweaking the printer setup, though I don't recall exactly what any of them did.
    Good luck.

  • I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • When I try to open any photo the photo app closes.

    I have an Iphone 5C, I just changed to iOS 8.1. Most of it is going well, but the photo app does not work anymore. I can open the app, but once I try to open, any photo, it crashes and shuts down(but keeps itself in the background).
    I´ve tryed to kill it from background and pen it again, not working. I´ve rebooted the phone several times, not working. I´ve tried with all photos I have, not working with all of them.
    Could someone tell what can I do? I think the only thing I can do is to restore, but I won´t have access to my pc in a long time and I´m looking for another chance.
    Thanks for your time.

    Yes I did! I've read in this communitiy that this mistake appears after updating the operating system (OS). To resolve this problem I removed all Programms including the OS from my iPad. Afterwards I installed all again. For the new installation I first used a Windows PC. But that didn't work. Only the installation with the help of a Mac resolved the problem. Now it's all ok.
    I hope my answer helps you. Good luck!

  • My iPhone restarts when I try to open my photos app, how do I fix this

    Please help!!! Every time I try and open my photos app my screen turns green and restarts, how do ifix this? I tried turning off and on what can I do?

    Hello Hbyars33,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Photos app on your iPhone.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like the one you described (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why am I getting this error message when I try to open a photo in Preview?

    I am getting the following message when I try to open a photo in Preview. I have searched for possible solutions and nothing works for me. I have always used Preview to edit photos.

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom?

    Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom? Items such as pdf files, word documents, etc. How should I connect them to each other so I can find both the photo and the related data?

    Lightroom itself will not help you with pdf, word, etc.
    However, there is a plugin you can use called AnyFile which will allow you to manage these documents in Lightroom (by assigning keywords and other metadata) so that you can search for all documents (photos, pdf, word, music, powerpoint, etc.) with given metadata.
    Because you do this via metadata, it doesn't matter where you put these files. Put them anywhere you want.

  • For FF19 with PDFs, can the yellow "Open With Different Viewer" pop-up bar be disabled?

    Hi all, I really like the built in PDF viewer because search as a I type works with, thanks FF devs!
    But ... I get this yellow pop-up with many PDFs I view:
    This PDF document might not be displayed correctly and a button for Open With Different Viewer
    The thing is these PDFs seem fine and I have to close the warning every time.
    Is there anyway this pop-up can be disabled or I can set an about:config setting to skip it? I can manually save a PDF or disable FF19's viewer if there's a noticeable problem with the FF19 viewer.

    Ok, since the pop up bar can't be disabled I'll disable the built in PDF viewer. Too bad, I like the search as you type feature with PDFs but this un-disable-able pop-up bar is not user friendly.

  • Keynote Saves .key files to default open with Powerpoint

    I've been finding that whenever I create a new keynote file and save it somewhere, if I double click on the file it will automatically attempt to open it with powerpoint. After powerpoint opens it will obviously say it does not recognize the file. I can correctly open the file with keynote by right-clicking and manually opening with keynote.
    If I open 'get info' on the file I will see that it is selected to open with powerpoint. I can open the drop down menu to change the opening option and see that powerpoint is selected but keynote is listed right below with '(default)' beside it. If I select keynote (default) and close the drop down menu it will stay as keynote and the file will correctly open with keynote all subsequent times.
    However, if I click the 'change all' button below to set all files of this type to the selected option (keynote - default) then my selection automatically changes back to powerpoint in the drop down menu. It is really weird and confusing.
    Any help?

    I've posted this many times & others have posted their methods more than once as well.
    This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

  • When I try to open I Photos the screens just keeps minimizing back to the bottom of the screen

    I have a Mac Book which is 3 mos old. When I try to open I Photos I have to keep clicking on the tab before the I Photos screen actually opens. It does not open to the full screen and when I click on faces or events the app closes out. The three buttons at the top don't highlight so I can enlarge the screen or minimize the screen. The screen only opens to half a page. This never happened before.

    Work through all of the suggestions here: iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Sometimes it helps to download and install another free app from the App Store.
