Change default image viewer?

How do you change the default image viewer (preview) to Adobe Photoshop?

Click on the image and then do Command+I (Get Information). Where it says 'Open with Preview', change it in the drop-down menu to 'Photoshop' and underneath than click on the button 'Change All'. All images of that type will now open in Photoshop.

Default image viewer and iTunes Plist

is there a way I could change my default image viewer for every image in my computer? "preview" does not alow animated gifs or even moving between pics like the windows (just opening one and moving with the keyboard arrows to see all).
I downloaded a program called "ViewIt" it alow what I want to do but I just cant find the way to set it as the default image viewer.
Also Im thinking about reinstaling Mac OS X again, since Ive gt alot of stuff that I dont want on my mac, but is there a way to save all my iTunes playlists?
Thanks

Hi hujaboy,
For setting the default application, do the following:
1. Click once on any file which you do not want opened with Preview.
2. From the menubar select File->Get Info
3. In the "Open with" section click on the drop down menu and select the application that you want to use. If it's not listed, select "other" and then navigate to the application.
4. Click on the "Change All" button and confirm.
That's it. Everytime you double click on that file type it will open in the Application of your choice.
There are two ways to backup your iTunes and keep your playlists:
Method 1.
1. Fire up iTunes
2. From the menubar select File->Backup to disk
3. Ensure the "Back up entire iTunes library and playlists" is selected.
4. Click on the "Backup" button.
This method will allow you to backup your entire iTunes library on to either CD or DVD. You will be prompted to insert new blank media if/when required. To restore backed-up files, insert the first backup disc (if more than one was used), choose File->"Back Up to Disc," and then click Restore.
Method 2.
If you have an external hard disk, connect it to your Mac and do the following:
1. Double click on your hd icon
2. In the sidebar (left side of the window) click on Music
3. Click and drag the iTunes folder to the external hard disk.
That's it. To restore simply drag this folder from the external hard disk to it's original location.

Default image viewer iPad

Weird. My third gen iPad using iOS 6 just started showing a different default image viewer when looking at pictures in emails. In the past, I've not had any trouble with downloading images that were in emails. However just recently, I've noticed that Team Viewer icons were in the picture downloads and images take forever to coe up. I removed Team Viewer, hoping the iPad would default to what it was originally. Instead, it now it seems to default to Evernote as the image viewer. What gives? Can I now actually specify a default image viewer? Whatever happened to the default one my iPad was using in the beginning (native to iOS)?

Never mind. Freaked out because images in the email were not photos so they defaulted to some other app on the ipad for viewing. Never saw that before. Photos download and display right away in the preview as they should.

Default image viewer

how do i make fireworks my default image viewer?

It's probably better to remove the file type association in
QuickTime
(or QuickTime Pro(?)).
Try:
1 - start QuickTime
2 - Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences >
File Types > expand
Images option in the tree structure > remove the tick next
to images as
you wish.
It seems an old version of QT?

Changing default picture viewer via GPO without changing image type and icon (Windows 7)

Hello,
I am trying to change the default picture viewer for some file extensions (.bmp, .jpeg, .png and .tiff). Actually Windows Photo Viewer is the default viewer and we need to replace it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
I managed to do that change via GPO using the 'open with' preference under User Configuration\ Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. So now the files are opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager (office 2010). The problem is that the image
type became 'OIS.EXE' for all the specified file extensions. Moreover the icon is now the same (Microsoft Office 2010).
When I change manually the associated program for a file extension, the icon change but no the image type... this is different using GPO.
Is there a solution in order to change the default program but keeping the image type and associated icon ?
I tried to do that modification using the 'new file type' preference under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. I specified the 'open' action for OIS.exe, selected file extension BMP with associated class 'Bitmap Image'.
It solves the problem for image type, Microsoft Office Picture Manager opens the files ... but I have to specify the icon file path and icon index and I don't know where I can find the default icons for the file extensions ...
What is the best solution ? Am I right ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Thank you in advance !

Hello,
thank you very much for your answers.
For the rollback, I will reimport the original/default keys for all the image types, this should be ok.
Here are the problems I have trying to pu Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer (I just want .bmp, .jpg ... files to be opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager by default).
1 Using new file type under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\folder options. : I define a new file type (BMP for example), associated class Bitmap Image, I configure the icon (imageres.dll,65) and an open action where OIS.EXE
is the application used to perform the action.
Result : Icon is correct, file type is correct, image files are opened with OIS.EXE (correct) ... BUT now Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in open or open with menu
2 Using new open with under User configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options : new open with preference, action (update or replace same result), file extension BMP, associated program (path to OIS.EXE), i check set as default.
Result : Office 2010 opens image files (correct) but icon is Office 2010 one and the file type is now 'OIS.EXE' for all image file extensions I have specified ... so it won't be possible to sort the file by image type if I select that method...
3 Using ftype : OIS.EXE doesn't open the file when I double click on it but Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in the open or open with list ...
I am a bit lost ... what is the best method to put Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer, keeping the image type (Bitmap image, JPEG image etc) and without having Microsoft Office 2010 twice in the open or open with list ??
Last question : by default an image file is opened and previewed with Windows Photo viewer and edited with Paint. I would like just to open images with Office 2010 but keep Windows Photo viewer for preview and Paint for edit ... Is it possible ??
Thank you in advance for any help and support !!

How to make CS3 the default image viewer after reloading CS

I had to reload my CS software and have not been able to use CS3 as the default vile viewer. Now CS is loaded when using the "open" and CS only appears in the "open with list". Obviously I would prefer all Photoshop programes (PS6, 7, etc) to be available, but will settle for the latest (CS3) to open my images. It would seem that because I reloaded CS the OS sees this as the default image\file viewer. Have not been able to find an answer in the forum replies or FAQ's.      Chow, Hydatus.

John, Many thanks for the promp reply. By the way, do you know why PS CS3 wants to only open files in 32 bit. I have probably changed a setting somewhere in preparation for new PC (Vista 64 bit) which I will be networking with 2 X windows XP PC's. CS opens these 8 bit jpgs ok but CS2 and CS3 tell me the docs arent 32 bit?   Looked at PS Image mode and 8/16/32/bit all there and 16bit normally ticked. Sorry to be a pain, but you seem to be on the "Ball" with PS.!!

Changing default PDF viewer

I need to change the default PDF viewer on a large number of computers
from Acrobat Professional to Reader. When I say "change the default," I
don't just mean the file association; I mean every default, including
browser plug-ins.
When you install Acrobat or Reader on a computer on which the other has
already been installed, you get a prompt as to whether you want Acrobat
or Reader to be the default PDF viewer. I want to get at that
functionality, preferably by script. So far as I have been able to
discover, the ONLY way to get at that function is by uninstalling one of
the programs and reinstalling it.
Is there a deployable way to do this? I prefer scripting methods, but
manual remote changes are good too.

I have no choice. This is what I've got to work with. And our Acrobat
software is controlled by a KeyServer, which is why I need Reader to be
the default (so as not to use up licenses for mere viewing of PDFs).
In any case, the two programs do know how to set a default between
themselves when you install the second one, so that functionality must
exist somewhere, supported or not.

Changing default video viewer

There is prob an easy solution to this question, but here goes. I just recently purchased a MAC BOOK PRO, on my mac the default video viewer is quicktime, how do I change it to VLC? So when I click on a movie it opens in VLC without opening VLC and selecting the movie

To open wmv files you will need Flip4Mac.
To open open other .mov, avi, type of files you will need VLC Media Player and Perian.
It will also be to your best interest if you install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
After the installations, repair permissions and restart your computer. Instructions for repairing permissions is in the Mac os menu and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
To make any of the above default players except for Adobe Flash Player & Perian, follow my previous instructions.

Change default folder view?

Hi. I was wondering if there was a way to change the default folder view. For instance, I'd like it so that when I create a new folder or open a new window it would be automatically in list view mode, and with the specific columns I want. Is this possible?

From the "view" menu choose "List View" uncheck in Prefs where you may have checked "Open new windows in column view".

IPhone 3G S - Change Default PDF Viewer?

Have an iPhone 3GS. Bought Goodreader because I need a PDF viewer that has reflow ability. I also use dropbox to easily link to my important files. However, whenever I open a PDF file, it launches the default iPhone PDF viewer, which does not have reflow. There are ways to get my files into goodreader, but they are cumbersome. In any event, I really just want my default PDF viewer to be goodreader so every time I open any PDF file whether it be from an email, dropbox or whatever, it used goodreader. Is this possible? Thanks.

Thanks. I tried the g thing and that is a nice time saver. I know about dropboxes' web app to grab files. In fact, I'll use that with your g thing tip. Just trying to save the steps it takes to get it into goodreader from the dropbox web app. Being able to directly load from the dropbox iphone app would be better, but your g thing is quite a bit better than the next best alternative that currently exists. I still wish there was a way to make goodreader the default pdf viewer.. Thanks.

Change default PDF viewer in Firefox

Hi,
I use Firefox a lot for viewing the web and when I click on a PDF file I get the option of either saving it to my computer or opening it in Preview. However, I'd like to be able to open the PDF directly in Adobe Acrobat. Is there a way I can set what application should be used to open my PDF files from Firefox? And if so, how do I do it? Thanks so much.
-NifflerX

Georege Orville,
These look like the instructions to change the default viewer in the Finder. I don't have a problem doing this, my only problem is that when I click on a PDf file in Firefox it always opens with Preview instead of Adobe. When I right click on a PDF link in Firefox I'm allowed to open the link in a new tab and then a pop up box comes up allowing me to either "open with <application>" or "Save to Disk". But the only application I'm allowed to use is Preview, which is what I want to change. Is there a way to do this? Thanks so much.
