Changing the default opener in Bridge

My Bridge has decided to change the default opener from Photoshop CS4 to either Quicktime , Paint or Dreamweaver.
So now I cannot preview a picture in Bridge and then open it in Photoshop
Can anyone tell me how to change the default back to Photoshop.

I feel like we are not having the same discussion as I am repeating myself.  Either I am misinterpreting your problem, or you are misinterpreting the suggestions.
Have you opened Windows Explorer and click one Tools? Should be a tab that says File Type.  Look what the default "opens with" setting is for jpeg files.  You want it to be CS4.  Bridge is not a separate program, but subprogram of photoshop.
Also, did you go to Bridge and click on edit/preferences/file type associations?  Is CS4 shown there a program for jpeg?

  • Changing the default open folder

    Does anyone know how I can change the default open folder in Illustrator? It keeps going to the Documents folder when I try to open a file and I'd like to change it to another folder.

    Illy defaults to / recognises the *last* opened folder unless that's been shifted or some kind of housekeeping (such as clear all history) has been undertaken. In which case, and on first opening, it will open the default folder which will be 'My Documents' .

  • How do I change the default "open with" application for certain files??  I've tried EVERYTHING!!

    Hi guys!
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help me!!!  I have been trying for ages to change this!!  It is SO frustrating!!  I recently bought a new MacBook Pro 13" after my old one (2009) got stolen.  Went from Snow Leopard to 10.8.2, restored all my apps and files etc (thanks goodness I backed up).
    NOW I have a problem!  All my .xls and .doc files open up with Pages and Numbers, and not OpenOffice.  NO MATTER WHAT I DO!!!
    The basic "change open with" "always use this application" story doesn't work.  It always reverts back to Pages or Numbers.  I also tried a Terminal Command I found on this forum from way back in 2010.  But that doesn't work either.  I also tried a .pst deletion but I don't have a .com.apple.launches.pst file!
    PLEASE GUYS.  PLEASE!  SOMEONE HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!!!!  It's driving me nuts!!!!!  LIKE NUTS!!!!!!!

    Here is what I would do:
    Update OpenOffice to the latest Mac OS X version for improved compatibiity with Mountain Lion.
    Boot into Safe Mode to clear caches, verify/repair permissions, and rebuild font database, etc.
    Reboot, holding down the shift key until you see a progress bar on the grey boot screen.
    At the login prompt, and before you click the right arrow button to login, press and hold shift again.
    Reboot normally.
    Now follow sig's advice, and specify OpenOffice as the can opener for Word and Excel files.
    If OpenOffice installs into a /Applications folder as individual writer, and sheet applications, then use these names respectively for Word and Excel files.
    LibreOffice (what I use) only offers the LibreOffice application choice.

  • How do I change the default from CS6 to Photoshop CC when I open a photo from Bridge CC?

    How do I change the default from CS6 to Photoshop CC when I open a photo from Bridge CC?

    Thank you. That works when I double click a RAW image, (opens in ACR then when I open from there it goes to CC)  but when I double click a jpg it goes straight to CS6. I'm hoping there is a way to change the default, but haven't found yet. I don't want to remove CS6.

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Question
    When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
    If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

  • How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

    Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

    Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
    You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

    How do I change the default folder that opens when uploading a file to the internet from my mac? (at the moment it automatically defaults to 'Downloads' folder)
    For example...
    I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.

    How do I change this?

    I click on select file on the website
    You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
    To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences.  If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums.  I do not use Safari.

  • How do I change the default application to open files.

    I am rather new to Mac OS (using Leopard). I am rather frustrated, that I have not been able to find a way to change the default application that opens PDF files. I looked around the System Prefernces, couldn't find it, searched the Web, nothing. And I could not find an answer in this forum either.
    So here is my question. How do I change the default application for opening PDF files from Preview to Adobe Reader? I do not want to have to click "open with" every time, I want to open a PDF file.
    And how do I do this for other files also? For instance, I may want to open images files with Photoshop instead of Preview.

    Hey ! I was going mad with the same question - and I'm not a complete newbie - so thanks to William for answering it - I knew I'd seen that dialog somewhere, but just couldn't find it. Text edit was driving me crazy telling me that .ppt files were screwed, now I've got em to open with Powerpoint...
    In answer to your last question, Craig, the dialog that appears to ask if you're sure specifically says the change will relate to all .pdf files ( or .ppt or .whatever ), so it won't stop Preview from opening other types of files.
    Thanks for the help - searched Apple support in vain on this one...

  • How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)?

    How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)? When I do what Apple said and go to a Pages file in finder and select "get info" then select "Pages 4.3" and "change all" it just defaults to the new one even though I'd selected the old one. Do I need to completely uninstall the new version of Pages or is there another work around because the new version of Pages comes dreadfully short of the features I need that are included in the old one?

    Eric Kraft wrote:
    HOWEVER, if you modified a document in 5.0, 4.3 can't open it. You'll have to use Time Machine to replace the modified version with an earlier version that was last modified in 4.3.
    Actually there is a workaround.
    If you open the file in Pages 5, it can then be exported on Pages 0.9 format to another folder. I had to do this as the document was only in iCloud and couldn't be recoverd by Time Machine.
    Worked for me!

  • How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document?

    I'm not sure if this is the right neighborhood to post this question, but here goes. How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document icon. I've been without MSWord for a long while, so all my word processing docs have been written in TextEdit, the stock mini-word processor that comes with OSX. Now I have MSWord and I no longer need TextEdit. Even more importantly, I'd like Word to automatically open when I click on a doc created in TextEdit. Adding ".doc" at the end doesn't do it. It's still refers to TextEdit to open the document.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    John

    Select a document of that type in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, change the application under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

  • How do I change the default app for opening a file;

    If I right click on a file in finder, it tells me what the default app for opening the file is.  it also gives me a short list of other apps.
    I would like to change the defaults for several file types, and also delete one app from the short list and add a different one.
    How do I do this?
    thanks

    You could try this:
    - right-click (tap with 2 fingers on the apple trackpad) on a file you want to open in openoffice
    - move the cursor over "open with". You should see the default app, then some suggestions, then app store, then at the end, "other...".  Select "other..."
    - find openoffice in your applications folder and select it  (if it is dimmed, change "enable: " from "recommended applications" to "all applications", then you can select "openoffice")
    - check "always open with"
    - then, click "open".  The file will open in openoffice and from now on, openoffice will be the default application to open the type of file you just opened.  You should also see the icon of all files of the same type change to the openoffice file icon.
    This is supposed to work, but that's not always the case, especially when the default app happens to be an Apple app.  If you don't want to use that Apple app, delete it (or move it elsewhere if you want a backup). That can help.
    Good luck!
