Could not edit original smart object because the application which created the smart object could not be launched

could not edit original smart object because the application which created the smart object could not be launched

Hi there,
I got this problem when I installed Adob master collection Over CS 5.
I had children book story storis which created in Adobe illustrator CS 5 and I created art boards in Adobe photoshop cs 5.
After installting CS 6 i tried to edit the smart objects and it was not opeinging the smart object file in Illustrator.
I did some tests.
1) Right click on smart object layer and click export contents. Save on desktopp or anywhere you want. (I saved on desktop)
2) I had this file on my desktop (Vector Smart Object10.ai) but it didn't show any icon, which program should open this type of file.
3) Double click on the file and it pop up a extension window 'Click on change and select adobe illustrator' and press OK.
4) Go back to your photoshop file and right click on smart object layer and click dit content. now this time it opens up assets in illustrator.
ENJOY!
Thanks

Error: Could not edit original smart object ...

Hi - I'm getting the following error when double clicking on a Smart Object in Photoshop (CS4)
"Could not edit original smart object because the application which created the smart obejct could not be launched."
Notes
1. The SO was pasted into the psd file moments before from Illustrator.
2. Both applications are open
3. Both files sit on the same disk.
4. XP Pro.
Does anyone have an idea how to get PS to launch its sister program?
Thanks,
Sean

HI, I just had the same problem with cs5 on win7. Photoshop cs5 would not open a smart object created in AI CS4 into CS5.
Turns out I had, somehow, lost all my file associations to .ai and .eps files. When I went into properties and told win 7 to open .ai and .eps files with illy all my troubles went away.
Hope my solution helps someone else with the same prob.

I updated the OS and now cannot edit pictures in Aperture because the program continuously jumps back to another picture

its super annoying and I have wasted hours today trying to fix it. Updated Aperture. Restarted and shut down computer. Deleted the /library/preferences as suggested

Sorry, mu iPod wasn't allowing me to type anything else. Not a good day for technology for me! Let me see if I can find that info...
I'm not sure which model. Purchased about 2 years ago. Using OS X Yosemite. Version 3.6 of Aperture. And another person had a similar question about jumping to other pictures on here and that was a suggestion.
When I go into Aperture, the first picture that shows up becomes the picture that it continuously jumps back to, once I edit it. Say I crop the first picture and move to the next one, it'll jump back to that first picture. Scroll 10 pictures down and the first picture will show up even though the picture highlighted is not the picture showing. This is leaving me unable to edit anything and quite frustrated.
Thanks

Cannot edit original pdf doc on my Mac which I put into my ibooks library.

Selected pdfs on specific folders to be placed inside ibook running MacOS X 10.9
I highlight the doc, but receive a warning: " The original document cnát be changed, so a duplicate with your change has been made"
How to solve this? Best regards

I have this same issue. I even created a copy of the original and then put it into ibooks and the problem persists. Ibooks is such a half baked product.

"Edit Original" opens PS, but not the image

When I try to edit an image using the "edit original" or 'edit with..' command in ID, Photoshop open up with a blank screen (no error message & no photo). Or in the case of a vector file, Illustrator opens up with the message "file not found". In the links panel, the graphics show the correct path on my C drive. Same thing happens when I try to open a file from Bridge: PS opens, but not the file.
I've seen lots of posts where the wrong application opens the graphic, but none where the correct app opens without a file. any idea what's going on here?
I recently moved into a new Quad core i7 computer with a RAID-1 configuration, running Windows 7 Pro. I did a clean install of CS4 Premium, and also recently installed all the updates to CS4.
Any help or suggestions are MUCH appreciated. I usually have a couple hundred graphics to "edit original" in each of the publications I work on. Thank you!

It's 64 bit Windows. I bought the computer with Windows 7 Pro because it's supposed to be able to install/run older software that may not be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. I have 9Gb of RAM.
I installed CS4 to the default directory, but Windows created a folder called "Program Files (x86)" for it, where it has installed all my older software that was either 32-bit or XP compatible.
My browser is IE v.8, and I'm still using the trial version of Norton Internet Security that came with the machine.
I've also been using the HP factory-installed Windows theme.
I should mention that I bought the computer refurbished and it didn't work when it arrived. I had to send it back to HP for a complete overhaul and reinstall of the OS. I believe they also had to replace the graphics card, which is now an NVIDIA GeForce GT 220. It's been running fine since then, just this one glitch that I've noticed so far.

"Edit Using"... "Edit original"...

How do I delete old versions of Creative Suite applications in the "Edit Using" dialog box of InDesign?
Ho do I set the default application that edits a file type from the "Edit Original" click option?
Thanks..

There are uninstaller for CS3 and CS4. CS2 and earlier can just be dragged to the trash.
Edit original should use whatever the O/S uses. If it's not working then try trashing your preferences. I don't know what edit using means, but if it's edit with then you still need to tell ID which application to use.
And make sure you're fully patched to 6.0.4.
Please post any follow ups to this in the InDesign forum.

Metadat Change After Edit Original

When I take say a TIFF file that has been imported into Lightroom and edit in PS by choosing "Edit Original" and than save the edit in PS, when I get back to Lightroom the image has a metadata error icon on it. When I click on the icon it asks if it should apply the disk or Lightroom metadata. I click on disk and all seems well. But why is it doing this and is there a way to get it not to do so? Is it correct to use the disk metadata?
Thanks.
Howard

A couple of possiblities, not doubt more, but the following are the most obvious reasons for the badge appearing:
1. Aryou applying metadata to file on import but not saving it back to the original file?
2. Do you by any chance have the preference for Photoshop history log enabled? If it's enabled your Photoshop edits are recored to metadata (i.e. the default when On). You can check the status in the General panel of Photoshop Preferences.

InDesign Edit Original

Hi
Im a photographer and use InDesign creating wedding albums which involve continually editing graphic (tiff and jpeg). I use the function, Edit Original, by right click and selecting from the popup menu. As of last night the option doesnt appear, also if I use the Edit/edit original the option is greyed out.
Totally confused as to why I have lost this option, hoping for your help.
Thanks Gary

Hi
May have found the problem. System Restore point on the 13th May event, Software Distribution Service 3.0. I restore before this event and now all is working, edit original is back in the pop-up menu and working. Now i am wondering if this is an Adobe upgrade, if so, removing the Edit Original option is a backward step!
If anyone can throw some light on this I am interested in knowing how to stop this change.
Thanks
Gary

Document Properties - Extract Application that Created the Pdf

Hello,
I need to extract the original application that a pdf was created from in javascript. eg in the document properties the application is shown as follows:
Application: AutoCAD 2010
The console script I have is as follows:
console.println('Application: '
+ this.info.Application +' ');
When the script is run it does not extract the application which the pdf was created from.
Can anyone please advise how the script can be modified to extract the application from the document properties?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help, most appreciated .
I can now extract the application which created the pdf as follows:
console.println('Application that create pdf: '

When I try to paste an CCI file into a PSD, I get this message- Could not complete the Paste command because the ICC profile is invalid. I need the layer to be an editable smart object! What's the solution? Ron

When I try to paste an CCI file into a PSD, I get this message… Could not complete the Paste command because the ICC profile is invalid.
I need the layer to be an editable smart object! What's the solution?
Ron

I received the file from my client. However, last week I had no trouble pasting the same file into a PSD file, as a smart object.
The color file is a label mechanical, which I place into a PSD file of the product. These are used for print ads and web graphics. The color is very critical and has worked really well for the last 4 years.
I have used the default color settings in Creative Suite and its been working fine. They are in synch and, I have no idea how to re-assign the color profile. I’m a graphic Designer, color correction is not something I would do normally.

Lightroom 5.6 Error: The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched...

I upgraded to lightroom 5.6 recently and i am using photoshop cs 6.
My OS is windows 8 on i5 4670 with R280X gfx card 16gb ram
After editing a photo with lightroom , when I right click to edit in photoshop, immediately photoshop launch but the image isnt imported to photoshop.
After like 30sec an error message pop out saying "The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched".
After another 10sec then the photo appear in photoshop... this is getting irritating to me.
if i select to just open the original or a copy of the original it works fine. It only happens when I try to open it with lightroom changes.
I had uninstall/reinstall both photoshop and lightroom as well as remove all the plugins i had, but the problem doesnt go away.
Another issue with lightroom 5.6 is the the adjustment brush is slow and sluggish, it is so unusable when I zoom in to use the adjustment brush.
I didnt had that issue before i upgraded. OMG
anyone have solution to my problem ?

I upgraded to the latest version of ps cc 2014 , problem resolved.

I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library. When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". need help

I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library. When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". But when I have my external hard drive plug in the song will play with no problem. What do I need to do to play my music without having the external harddrive plug in ???????? Please help

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

After installing iTunes 10.5 update i get the following message when trying to play any song in my Library "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" how do i fix this??

I have an iPod Classic and work on Windows 7.
i recently installed iTunes 10.5 update and since then i cannot play any of the songs in the Library - i get the following message
"The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
what happened to all my songs (almost 2000) How can i get them back into my music library?
Please help - i do not want to spend another week downloading all my cd's onto my computer !!!!!

Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

iTunes tells me my song selection: "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want?

I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
Hope this helps!
