CS5 installed cant associate file with CS4

Not totally a photoshop only question cause it is happening with all the CS suites.
What happened:
Have CS4 on a iMac running 10.5.8 this is the main program we are all using in shop. The apprentice here need CS5 installed to do her course so we installed it on the machine
Now we do not want her to do inhouse work in CS5 as her machine is the only one with it.
Tried to associate illustrator indesign & photoshop files to CS4 but the system keeps defaulting back to CS5
Question:
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

If you are double-clicking on an image file to launch the application, the newest version of the application will always launch.
If you want to use an older version, you need to quit the newer version and then open the older version of the application.  Then use the File menu in Photoshop, File > Open, to open your file in the older version first.
You cannot open an earlier version of Photoshop if a newer one is already running.  Newer versions, yes.

  • I can't use some .avi files with CS4

    I have 2 computers. One with W7 64 bits and PP CS5 and a laptop with Vista 32bits, so I had to install PP CS4 provided with Adobe CS5-5 production premium.
    I have a problem with CS4 (as it works with my CS5): some.avi files are not read by CS4 as some other (.avi, .mp4, .m2ts) are read! I can install the file on the timeline, but only the sound is read, no pictures!
    I'm not a specialist in computer, neither in Premire Pro, and my english is very bad (Yes, I know, I'm french...) ! Any idea of what to do, please ?
    Thank you so much.

    I agree with Jim. Knowing what is inside those AVI files, that are faulting, will likely tell the tale.
    This article goes into a lot more detail on AVI (and MOV, etc.) as a "wrapper:" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
    It is what's inside, that matters. It might be as simple as just installing the proper CODEC, or it might be that the CODEC used, is a delivery-only CODEC, like DivX, Xvid, and some others.
    Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.

  • PS CS5 stalls when opening file with type layers

    Macbook Pro / 10.6.7 / 4GB RAM / 2GHz i7 / CS5 12.0.4.x64. No extra plugins or anything. New system, clean install from last week.
    When I open a file (any size/color/dimensions) that has type layers PS with hang for about 25 seconds, then come back just fine. If I clear the font cache (I use FontExplorer X 3) the problem will go away for a brief time (minutes?), then come back. Close and reopen a file, same hang. Close PS, reopen PS, reopen file, same hang.
    Files with no font layers are not affected — no hang, no delay, snappy... unless a file with type layers is already open, then there is the same delay.
    If a file with type layers is open in PS and hung on open, and I open/double-click it again from the finder I get another hang.
    Turing off font preview makes no difference, turning off OpenGL makes no difference.
    But, turning a font on or off in FontExporer does clear the problem for a while.
    Any thoughts?

    It looks like the plug in was the culprit. I have it turned off and haven't had the problem in a while (though I haven't used PS in a bit on text-heavy projects either).
    Thanks for the help.

  • Can't open flash/fla files (with CS4) - might be version issue

    Hi,
    I am trying to edit a website for a friend (built with Flash and XML) and i can't seem to get into any of the .Fla files.
    I don't know if it is my version of Flash (CS4) or the files and not sure how i could test it. Could also just be a CS5 file hence i can't open it.
    Any help or suggestions would be great. Please help i don't know what to do, haha.
    Here is an upload of one of the files i am talking about
    http://www.2shared.com/file/kb2NKm0i/book-verification.html
    I wasn't sure which hosts were allowed so if i messed up please let me know.
    Thanks
    Asher

    Hi Asher,
    You  cannot open a file which is saved in future version such as CS5  version  in Flash CS4 .This is as designed .
    If you need to open a CS5 file in CS4 , You need to save the file as CS4 file  and then open in Flash CS4 .
    Thanks

  • How can I associate file with my swing aplication

    I dont know if this section is correct, bud I couldnt find more suitable section for my problem.
    I have a swing aplication, and I have some saved serializabled objects (strings etc), what i need to do, to associate my files with system, so I can (after double-clicking on this file) open my application and load variables what are stored in it.
    thanks for replies

    for instance: I have program which has some variable...for example String s = "hello"then there is method save(File file)
    which has code:
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
    ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
    try {
           oos.writeObject(s);
           oos.close();
    } catch (Exception e){
         // handle
    }I want that file (after double-click on it) to start my aplication, an initialize String s from this file.
    Like you can double-click on your favourite mp3 file, and it will automaticly open your winamp and initialize a playlist with this song
    I dont know if it is possible to do this via serialization. That why Im asking here.
    thanks for another replies :)

  • Installing a JAR file with NAL

    This is in reference to my previous message about trying to use NAL to get
    to a URL with System Rights...
    In addition to having to install Java to use our new webpage, there is a jar
    file that has to get pushed out, too.
    It's not available as an executable, but, is there anyway to push out a jar
    file with NAL? Does it need to be run, or, just copied somewhere, and, if
    so...where?
    Thanks!

    We have an AGFA Imaging system that puts digitized x-rays, CAT-scans, etc.,
    up on a webserver, so that docs all over our hospital can pull them up and
    look at them.
    The previous system HAD to use the MSJVM, but, last Saturday they upgraded
    the system (not really telling us the requirements ahead of time...<G>), and
    it had to use the Sun JRE. Sooo....I had to setup an AppObj last Sunday to
    push out Java to all workstations, so went to Java.com and downloaded the
    latest version, 1.5.x
    Well...of course they had to use a certain version, 1.4.1_01, and, it
    wouldn't work with 1.5.x at all, so, I pushed that out, then it turned out
    that they use a product from Germany (AGFA, you know) named JacoZoom, and a
    jar file is asked to be run by the users when they first login to the
    website, and, of course...you have to be an Administrator.
    Our VA Security Managers like to over-protect us, so, the German site
    hosting JacoZoom is blocked, and, rather than drive home and download what I
    needed, I thought it would be easier just to push out the URL with System
    Rights temporarily (you understand that by this time, Monday afternoon, all
    our 400 doctors were up in arms because they couldn't view any images), and
    then the trying to push the URL just didn't work.
    Sooo...I drove home and got the JacoZoom product (had to buy it), which is a
    large executable containing several JAR files when exploded, one of which
    was the one that was being pushed out. Running the executable didn't do the
    trick (not sure why), and the JAR wouldn't run, even manually, but, I
    FINALLY found an email from another tech going through the same hassle, and,
    all he did was push a different JAR file to the \lib\ext folder in the JRE
    1.4.1_01 folder...and it worked.
    I did that, and, it worked, and deployed it all over the building.
    Welcome to my world--and, I'm not complaining, because with SMS (which we
    have to run, but don't use), I'd still be configuring the deployment
    package.
    Thanks.

  • CS5 Production Premium causing problems with CS4 Production Premium

    I have been using CS5 Production Premium alongside CS4 Production Premium for a while now.  After Effects, PhotoShop & Illustrator work alright together (both CS4 & CS5 versions).  My job actually necessitates me keeping both versions on my machine.
    I had need to use both Premiere Pro CS4 and Encore CS4, and neither of the applications would initialize.  The following is the error message from clicking the Premiere Pro CS4 application file.
    I am uncertain what the application event log is or where it is located.
    Over on Creative Cow's site, I posted a similar message in the forums, in which a user stated that I should not have CS4 and CS5 on the same partition of my drive.
    I do have a secondary internal hard drive on which I could install one of the suites, however, I want to make sure that it is done properly and efficiently.  I have seen some issues with uninstalling CS4 after installing CS5, so I wanted to ask for help before I simply begin to rip software off my PC (since After Effects and PhotoShop - which work - actually comprise 95% of my Adobe workload).
    Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.  Also, which version (CS4 or CS5) would be better suited on the secondary drive?
    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

  • Win 7 Pro 64-bit / DW CS5 crashes when opening files with external links

    open any html, php, etc with a link to an external file - could be any type
    dw cs5 crashes
    this is on a fresh, clean install of win 7 and cs5 suite. hard drive was wiped clean before installing
    Has anyone experienced this issue also?
    This is extremely annoying...  why I should pay for software that doesn't work?

    "Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
    The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

  • CS5 - Output a .m2ts file With DD 5.1

    Hi all,
    I have just installed my new copy of CS5 which is an upgrade from CS3.  (I had to reinstall due to the 64bit requirement).  Anyway, on my CS3 install with the mainconcept plug-in installed I could output to a m2ts file keeping DD 5.1.  I cannot see an option to do this on CS5... I assumed that you didnt need an additonal plug-in with this version as it natively handled AVCHD files?
    How do I go about getting a .m2ts file?
    Thanks in advance.
    Rich

    Hi Hunt, thanks a lot for replying.
    Sorry, I perhaps didnt explain my issue very clearly...
    ...with my CS3 version I installed the MainConcept Pro plug-in which enabled CS3 to import and export m2ts files, and as I'm sure you know this file format supports DD 5.1.  Now, with CS5 it supposedly supports AVCHD (m2ts) files natively, and indeed I could drag a m2ts file from my camcorder into my project.  However, when I go to export the movie I dont get an option anywhere to allow me to save the movie as an m2ts file.  (FYI on CS3 with the MainConcept plug-in I had an option to Export to MainConcept Pro where I could chose the usual bitrate, DD 5.1 etc).  I dont know if the MainConcept Pro plug-in works with CS5.
    Hopefully I have explained myself a bit better this time!
    Thanks again.

  • I cannot associate files with Adobe Photoshop CC

    Since installing Photoshop CC, I cannot associate jpg's or psd's with Photoshop CC. I have used the "open with..." dialog box (something I have done a million times, so I know what I'm doing), but after choosing Photoshop, it does not appear in the list of recommended or other programs and will not open the jpg or psd file in Photoshop.
    FYI, I installed Photoshop CC while Photoshop CS6 was still on my computer. I then deinstalled Photoshop CS6 and that is when I noticed the problem.
    Please help...this is extremely frustrating.
    Thank you!!!

    Thanks middle.aged.hack - your regedit fix got my files opening correctly again.
    I was having the same problem as the OP but with InDesign CC this time. No matter how many times I used "open with..." and pointed the dialogue box to indesign.exe, the program would just not show up in the list, but after your regedit, up it popped.
    I still have a minor gripe (with Adobe or Windows mind, not you). Because these are after the event associations rather than the original install default, the icon that shows up in windows file manager is the "I'm only an associated filetype" with the smaller logo inside a document icon, rather than the full blooded, "I am this applications proprietary document type" icon (see comparison of Illustrator equivalents below):
    associated filetype (not full icon)
    application specific file (proper icon)
    So my .psd and .indd files are using the associated filetype icon not the proper icon you'd normally get.
    It's minor to be honest, but it niggles me as I'm used to looking for a certain kind of logo for a ccertain kind of filetype.
    But mainly, thanks for the helpful post middle.aged.hack

  • Control panel error when installing from MSI file with JRE 7 update 21

    When I install JRE from the MSI file that I get from the user folder I get an error then I try to start Java Control Panel. Java applications works ok but I cant start the Control panel. If I uninstall Java and install it by executing the offline exe file the installation works fine and the control panel also works.

    Yes same problem here. I had a successful rollout with the MSI package and version 1.7 Update 17 on 1500 computers!
    I packaged the Update 21 and on my first test-clients the control panel crashes when I try to open it. But the setup ends successful without any error code all eventviewer entries are successful and it seems that the environment is running. Firefox plugintest was successful.
    Why doesn't offer Orcale the MSI files?! Since last year Java cost me o lot of time deploying Java. There is no update which you can release quickly because there are always bugs to deploy them.

  • CS5 installed - best way to remove CS4?

    Any thoughts on the safest way to remove CS4 now that I have CS5 running fine?
    I'm afraid to just drag to trash as I have AppCleaner installed and it will want to delete lots of related files as well (maybe I SHOULD?)
    Thanks,
    tom

    Jim-
    Thanks for quick reply... that is just what I will do.
    Do you know if it will keep Bridge CS4?  I need it for Elements 8 ... and as I just learned for making contact sheets since you cannot run the contact sheet II plugin in CS5 unless you run 32 bit...
    In any event, there is no going back now.... I'm over the Rubicon :-)
    thanks,

    I have just looked and I have download the DNG converter for the G12 raw files.
