CS3 / CS5 Default

Dear reader,
Problem:
I installed CS5 (with updates) on my machine and afterwards CS3 (with updates).
By example: An .indd format opens by default in CS5. I'd like to change it to CS3 but when i set the default to CS3 it only changes it for that specific file.
How did i change this?: 'Get Info on a .indd file --> Open with: Adobe Indesign CS3 --> 'Change All'
Anyone got an idea how to change this for all .indd files ?
I'm running 10.6.4 on a Mac Pro (Latest version)
Thanks in advance for your answer.
With kind regards,
John

  • Set CS3 as default instead of CS5

    Is there a way that I can make CS3 my default version of InDesign for opening indd files?  I'm the only one at our company that has CS5 on their computer and I'm afraid that opening the files we've created in CS3 with CS5 will make it so that my coworkers won't be able to work with those files anymore.  I'm on a PC.  I know that I can just right click the files and choose "open with" every time but I'm opening different files all day long and it'd be nice to not have to do (and remember to do) that everytime.

    Thanks for the fast reply guys!  Okay, so I just took a random InDesign file and "right clicked" on it.  I then chose "properties" and under the "general" tab there was an option for "Opens with".  It was set to CS5.5 and I just chose the option to "change" that to CS3.  I would have thought that would only apply to the 1 file I did this to but so far everything else is opening is CS3!

    Really? I've NEVER seen this work. Congratulations.

  • How do I make Indesign CS3 the default rather than Indesign CS4?

    Indesign 6.0.2 is driving me crazy, that spinning ball spins for every character I type.  It takes 5 minutes to write one word.  I want to use CS3 instead, which works great with dynamic spelling, which I have turned off in CS4, but don't want to dump CS4.  How do I make CS3 the default?  When I open CS3 and save, it saves it as CS4 so to open it I can't click on it I have to open CS3 first.  Illustrator in CS4 works great.

    The only way to make a mac recognize CS3 as default would be to completely remove CS4.
    In OSX new version trumps older versions. you can however have both apps open drop files you know are cs3 on the CS3 dock Icon or an Alias on your desktop. CS3 does not save as CS4 its just that the OS makes all ID files look like the newest version.

    On which operating system are you trying to install these Adobe apps?
    Please specify the operating system name and version.
    If you have purchased new Macbook Pro, then you should have atleast Mac OSX 10.9 or later. However, i doubt you will be able to install most of these apps on it as they are pretty old apps except CS5 & Lr4.
    Still you can give it a shot and check.
    What happens when you try to install them?
    Do you get any error message? An error screenshot or full text of the error, should be helpful.

  • Questions about smart objects in CS3-CS5.

    Hi.
    Two questions.
    When I replace content of smart object in CS2 the content takes the size of previous state of smart object in pixels.
    It was very useful when need to replace some background to another and it autoresized to the new size and proportion.
    For example, when I replace content of smart object with external size 100x90px and 100x90% proportion (can see with Ctrl-T) with file with 200x300px size, i have new smart object with old size 100x90px and new proportion 50x30%.
    When I try to do the same in CS3-CS5 I get smart object with size 160x216px and proportion 100x90%.
    Haw can I return the old behaviour?
    Second.
    In CS2 I use files with a lot of smart objects each of them may consists with some others smart objects and so on.
    But i can`t use this scheme in CS3-CS5 because of very high consumption of scratch memory.
    Very-very simple example. In CS2 create file 4000x3000px, create new layer and draw there black square 300x300px.
    Convert the "square" layer to smart object. Then duplicate it with Ctlt-J 30 times. Save the file and reopen.
    The scratch size is about 280 MB and practically not changing when moving layers with movetool.
    Open this file in CS5. The scratch size is about 2.5 GB and quickly increase to 5 GB and above when i try to move layers. And this is a very simple file.
    If i will try to open several such files in CS5 the amount of useing memory will be fantastic.
    Why there is such behaviour whis memory in cs3-cs5 photoshops?
    PS. sorry for my english. hope you understand me.

    Hi,
    What version of Ps and AI are you using?
    1. In Ps, there's no controls for the AI layer visibilty, but the visibility attributes should be respected.
    2. The placed file is an embedded copy, not a link to an external file. However, there is a script that you might find useful for your purposes. I'm not sure if the Win support improved with CS5.

  • Cs3 + cs5 reinstall on Mac

    Hello, cs3 + cs5.1 upgrade (both on original CD), how is the best way to reinstall them on Mac OSX Montain Lion 10.8.2 (with CD's or trial version)? Thank's.

    For ages I've been using the type below, you can also try RollOverIconButtonWidget or SimpleIconSuiteButtonWidget.
    type PNGPictureWidget(kViewRsrcType)
    : Widget(ClassID = kIconSuiteButtonWidgetBoss)
    CControlView;
    PNGIconAttributes;
    Then in your widget, change PictureWidget to PNGPictureWidget.
    Below the CControlView fields of the original PictureWidget, append these PNGIconAttributes fields:
    kIconCentering, // Centering
    kIconFlushLook, // Look Raised/Lowered fStyles
    kFalse, // draw Well..

  • CS5 Default

    I installed Adobe CS5 and after that Adobe CS4, and now when I open file from Win Explorer, it opens up in CS4, how can I make CS5 default for all adobe programs files?
    Thanks

    Glenn,
    In this case a reinstall does not need the Clean Script utility first. All that is required is a correction to some registry keys that go beyond the simple file association that was suggested, because the registry entries also contain keys for dynamic linking, Encore, export modules etc. that can not be corrected by only changing the file association in Explorer.

  • DW on Mac, CS3/CS5 using SFTP and/or FTP, need it secure!

    Folks:
    DW CS3 or CS5 running on an quad-Intel iMac, 10.6.4, connecting to a host that uses identical credentials for SFTP and FTP.
    It's important to be assured that the connection is in fact secure.
    If you set  "connect using SFTP" will DW CS3 complain if the connection cannot be made securely?  Will DW then default to ordinary, insecure FTP?  If so, will DW inform you?   Is there an easy way of verifying the current connection mode, SFTP or FTP, within DW? (The FTP connection log does not say.)  Is there an easy way of doing it in MacOS or with a simple utility? (Can be done, but not conveniently, with L'il Snitch.)
    Is DW CS5 any different?
    TIA,
    hen3ry

    Folks:
    Problem solved.
    It's clear that FTP and SFTP are fundamentally different protocols, but the DW protocol selection strongly implies similarity by offering SFTP as a minor option under the main selection of FTP.    I think it would be much clearer if SFTP were offered as a major option -- and then there would be an opportunity for offering SFTP options, too.
    Here's a way of distinguishing which of these two is active:  Connecting to the target site using FTP results in a succession of text entries in the optionally viewable FTP log  -- no surprise.   I discovered that connecting to the same site with the same credentials and the addition of checking the "Use SFTP" option results in only line feeds --scrolling, but no visible text-- in the FTP log window.  I guess that's a reasonable though a bit indirect way of informing users that the link is active and secure.   (What does one do to diagnose problems with SFTP for hosting services that don't support FTP?  I don't know there are such services but it should be the great majority of them.)  Works in DW CS3 but I didn't check CS5.
    Another option, untested but fairly obvious:  It's fairly easy these days to control host s/w (personal) firewalls -- even for low-tech users.  Establish and verify a link to your server using SFTP, then disable FTP; the link should fail.  And vice-versa.  This meets my specification of "simple" and should be  available with no extra expense and little trouble.
    Brief Editorial:  From the recent reading I've done on FTP versus SFTP,  it is clear that the time to discontinue all support for FTP  is long past.

  • Ai CS3 CS5 - Raster Effects Resolution changes

    Just upgraded from CS3 to CS5.
    An Illustrator logo that contains a drop shadow (created in Ai CS3), placed into InDesign (CS5), and exported to PDF, fails in PDF checking due to low resolution.
    I traced this back to the Ai file. The Document Raster Effects have changed from High-300dpi in CS3, to Screen-72dpi in CS5. Ooops. When I open the same file back in Ai CS3, the Document Raster Effects are still set to High-300dpi as they should be.
    Is this a known bug/undocumented feature? If so, is there a workaround? Or is it just me?
    Thanks in advance...

    125 ppi for a Lambda? As far as I know there are two resolutions for the Lambda 200 ppi and 400 ppi so I assume that if you give the sjop the 125 ppi file they will res it up.
    However if your lab says fine to the 125 ppi and you have done this before it would seem to make sense.
    However if they are using Illustrator to out put the file, which I do not think they would since I believe the file has to be a tiff. I would set the raster image effect to 200ppi.
    But only on out put or change it before sending the file to the lab.

  • Suddenly my PS CS5 defaulted its "Save As" to JPEG2000, how do I restore it back to "Save As" JPEG?

    I got a new computer (Windows 7) at work this April and as of today, when I work on any of my JPEG images in PS CS5, suddenly it has defaulted its "Save As" to JPEG2000. How did this default change and how do I get it to default save as. JPEG again? There was nothing I noticed and no warning as to why this has changed, I didn't touch a thing!
    (Last week, Adobe had to work with our IT manager to fix a problem that started occuring with my new Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 program. They had to log into my computer and change a registry thing to get it to work properly again...also something that changed without warning!!)

    Thank you Curt Y, as I saw your post reply come through, I had just hung up with Adobe support (after being on the phone for an hour & a half).
    To be clear...prior to today, if I opened a JPG file, and did an immediate "save/save as", it would automatically re-save as a JPG file but it seemed to suddenly be defaulting to a "save/save as" JPEG2000.
    They claimed that yes, there was a fix for this and while I was on hold she had me follow a few directions which DID fix the issue. While we were on the phone she was able to have me restore it to at least a default "save/save as" for a PSD file rather than a JPEG2000, which is better than nothing and she was about to help me get the default set so that when I open a JPG it would automatically default to "save/save as" a JPG, but she couldn't get it that to work. After she logged on to my computer to physically do it herself and failed to fix it further, she thinks my security permissions (we are on a network) are not set properly and she wanted to create a new user account with the proper permissions but we were halted because our IT guy is not in right now.
    She gave me a case# and when he returns tomorrow, we are to try her list of instructions starting with creating a new (PS CS5 user account) then if that does not restore the "save as" defaults we are to uninstall, then re-install PS. If this still does not work we are to call her back and they will try to fix it from there. She did tell me that in my version of PS (CS5), she was able to open a JPG (on her end), then hit save as, and it defaults to saving as a JPG, not a PSD as is happening to me.
    Before I posted here, I did do an iternet search to find out how to set the defaults, however I too found that everyone says there is no such default of a "save as" JPG...but Adobe claims otherwise. We shall see what happens tomorrow...

  • Upgrade CS3 - CS5 iMac really slow

    Hi,
    I've upgraded my Adobe CS3 to CS5.
    Now it seems my entire iMac to be slower. Especially when using Photoshop and Bridge (Camara RAW).
    Do you recognize this? I have an iMac 24 inch Mac OS X 10.6.4 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
    I also have a MacBook 5.2 and there is cs5 on. There's only 2 G memory, so that's not very much.
    In CS3 there was no problem and I have a tendency to work 'just' on my MacBook, but that's not what I want.
    This may not actually be right? Maybe I need to change some settings? I've googled everything, but I can not find the right answer.
    Hopefully you can say anything.
    Thanks,
    Monique

    all iMacs except for the new 27" are mobile processors (laptop)
    the base 27 is also a mobile as is the 3.33GHz option.
    only the i5/i7 options are real desktop processors.
    so what you have is a laptop with a fancy screen. (great for photoshop but thats it)
    add to the fact the included video card is not a supported MPE card..
    presently a full MacPro is not much better. no supported MPE video card and multithreading on OSX is no joy either.

  • Any version of Flash (cs3-cs5) will not publish my file..

    Hi all,
    this is the first time i encounter this problem.. I had the problem where a file would not open correctly which was also addressed at this forum. But this one is different. this file was created (from what i remember) in Flash 8, then opened/saved in all possible flash versions for updates in time.
    While it will open just fine, it will not publish. The publish window with the percentage will open up for a split second, then it will close with no messages whatsoever, no actionscript errors, nothing. F12, the same thing again. No possible settings could solve this. I am willing to send the file for testing of course, have tried to publish using Flash cs4 and Flash cs5. I thought of going back to Flash 8 by opening the file and saving to a previous version but as soon as i open the file in Flash cs3 (while the file has been saved as cs3) it will not open the file with an error message that i cannot remember right now.
    So the problem might lie in how Flash cs3 saved the file, but it will open just fine in cs4 and cs5 so the file is not corrupt in any means..
    any ideas?
    George
    p.s. I tried deleting EVERYTHING off the stage and the library and yet it wont publish.. tried copying all frames on another empty file, couldnt publish either...

  • CS3/CS5 File Associations OS X

    Hi all,
    I have had to install InDesign CS5 on 4 of our Macs here for iPad development, but these 4 Macs will still be using CS3 for normal everyday magazine publishing. We can't upgrade the rest of the team to CS5 until next year so they have to continue to use CS3 until then.
    The problem is after installing CS5 you cannot change the file association for .indd files back to CS3, when you try it just reverts back to CS5 instantly. Is there a way around this, as by force of habit the users with CS5 are going to double click on files and have it open in CS5 and before they realise have modified or saved the file in a format that isn't backwards compatible.
    Is there a way around this problem? I have set the file associations back to CS3 within Bridge but that will only work for files being opened within Bridge itself.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Our Soxy works around this issue too. When I am in the process of testing scripts, I often have CS3, CS4 and CS5 running concurrently - and thanks to Soxy, double-clicked files .indd still always open in the correct app, unlike the Mac standard behaviour to try and open the .indd file in whatever InDesign version you happen to have running.
    Cheers,

  • Changing the CS3 AI default startup document in Mountain Lion??

    Everything you read says that to change the default AI (CS3) startup document you use this path:
    Users >  (User Name) > Library > Application Support >  Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > New Document Profiles > *.ai
    The problem is, under Mountain Lion that path doesn't exist.  When I go to my user name, there is no "Library" folder at all.  Under "Shared" there is an AI Library folder, but it has nothing of any value in it.
    My AI startup document (that I've been using for ages) is found here:
    HD > Applications > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > Plug-ins > filename.ai
    However, if I navigate there and make changes, then quit Illustrator and re-launch it, nothing happens.  I'm using the same old defaults as before.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here?  I know I need to upgrade to a later version of CS, but the prices have become so outrageous there's no way I can justify it as long as AI and PS are working.  You need a mortgage to buy new Adobe products these days.
    Tks
    Butch

    The location of startup files has changed in version CS3.
    The lirbary folder is hidden in Mac OS Lion and above, you can access it like this: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/

  • Version Cue CS3 Change Default Local File Location

    Hi All
    I've done a bit of searching around and can't find an answer to this.
    We have a bit of a Hybrid network which involves roaming profiles / TS profiles and all manner of stuff I have not yet found.  The upshot of this is that profile size affects all manner of things.
    Vesion Cue CS3 places local files into your user folders (and thereore your profile) by default.
    Is there a way to change the default location of these files?  I dont need them on a network share, the local disc is fine but just not in 'my documents'.
    I am aware I can do it on a project by project basis, but as I deal in hundreds of projects this is impractical.  That is to say I need to have the local files end up in the right place when I first sync.
    Thanks Very Much for your help
    Colin

    I'm sorry Curt,
    I don't understand your point.
    CS3 does, in fact have Version Cue, and does put files in certain places.  So I don't follow what you are getting at.
