Edit original (alt + double click) opens in an old version of CS

I have been using the alt + double click to open Illustrator files that I have placed in my InDesign document for months with no problems. When I alt + double click the placed image, it has always opened up in the latest version of Illustrator - CS5.5.  However, starting about two days ago, it now attempts to open the file in an older version - CS 5.0.  I am sure that the Illustrator files and the InDesign document were both created with the latest version of CS. 
Is there any way to set the preference for the alt+double click to target the latest version again?
Thanks,
Paul

Eugene,
You and Bob are correct. There is no CS5.5 (for Illustrator).  I sincerely apologize for inflating my latest Illustrator version by 0.4 points.  I purchased the "CS5.5 master suite upgrade" and when I look in the CS 5.5 folder I see Illustrator CS5.1.  Illustrator 5.5 or 5.1 - either way, I'm referring to the latest version of the software.
I'm not "worrying" about anything.  All I wanted was a possible solution that would allow me to once again use the alt+double click to open and edit my Illustrator files in my latest version of Illustrator, not the previous version. Given that I have deactived the previous version, it makes it difficult to edit the file when it asks me to install CS5 again. Even if I hadn't deactivated it, I still would prefer to have the file open in the latest version, considering it had been doing that for the past two months before it suddenly stopped. I'm sorry that I was rude. It's just that "You are worrying about nothing" really isn't something that I can change in my preference setting to enable the alt+double click to work again.

  • Mavericks Finder - how default to "double click opens new window"?

    I am old and set in my ways.  I like having the Finder open a new window when I double click a folder.  Since 1984 I've arranged Finder windows in positions and sizes that suit me and I have never seen any reason to change.
    In Mavericks however there does not seem to be a way to default to, "double click opens new Finder window".  My choices under Finder preferences are, open in the same window; or open in a tab.  I don't care for either.
    Does anyone know of a way to restore the traditional Finder behavior in Mavericks?  Thanks in advance.

    There is a great deal of logic behind this change actually
    And youll find me the LAST PERSON to complain about Mavericks really,......
    not ONLY is it FREE,.......its made my new Air just blazing fast
    My boot time now is 8 SECONDS (my goodness)
    Switching APPS is ultra-fast.........even on my Air, Photoshop opens up LIGHTNING FAST,.....just mind numbingly FAST!
    Thank You to Apple, MAVERICKS IS AWESOME!!!! I REALLY LOVE IT!!!

  • Unable To Double Click Open Folders On Desktop!

    I am running a G4 450 mhz with 1GB Ram OS 10.4.11. Recently I have not been able to double click open folders or launch applications from the desktop. The cursor also seems very jerky. I can open with a Command O or using Open from the Menu bar. I have zapped the pRam, Reset Open Firmware, Repaired Prefs with no luck. I would prefer not to do an archive and install if I do not have to, as I understand that sometimes files and apps get messed up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, if i have to do an archive and install I have another problem. i am unable to boot from my 10.4 CD as the CD/DVD drive kicks it out. I have tried the disk on other computers with no problem. Other OS boot from this drive so I do not think it is the drive or the disk. I could boot off of a external hd disk set as my startup disk but Apple tells me that it I do this and try to mount the 10.4 disk on the desktop and do a archive and install from there it will not work, only if I boot off of the disk holding down the C key at startup. I am lost. Can anyone help!!!

    Hi Hoshwa, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Do you have another Mouse to try?
    I have tried the disk on other computers with no problem.
    If you do need to A&I, you can use another Mac with Firewire as an expensive DVD drive...
    If you have another Mac with Firewire & a FW cable, put the Install Disc in the other Mac, boot the Other Mac into Target mode...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Boot the G4 with the Option key held down, see if the Install Disc in the other Mac shows up as a boot choice.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Configuring KDE (aterm transparency/double-click opening)

    I had fluxbox working and setup so aterm was pinned and transparent to look like it's part of the desktop. I recently decided to try out kde and wanted to do the same thing, but it opens with a black background instead of transparent. I can set  it to other colors though. I was curious if anyone else has experienced this and knew how to solve it.
    I'd be open to using other terminals, though I haven't been quite been satisifed with other ones I've tried. Konsole and Eterm almost work. Konsole leaves a small white line around the outline, even when I used the KDE menu to configure it to have no window border, that just removes the window decorations. Eterm also leaves a grey menu on top, which I'd prefer not to have, but didn't see an option to turn this off, though I'll admit I haven't looked too hard. I did get gnome-terminal to look the way I want, but it seems like running that probably loads more than I'd really like it to if I'm running KDE.
    Also while I'm posting, I thought I'd ask a probably simple question. I want to change the setting so double-clicking opens directories instead of single clicking. I remember from when I tested out knoppix when I first started there was an obvious place, but I can't seem to find it in the new version. There was a wizard when I first started KDE that let me choose, but I deleted it from the menu, and now can't seem to find it again.

    You didn't mention your previous method so I'm not sure how to try and duplicate your issue. I've never desired to eliminate the borders, but something like this should get you transparency (just advance the trailing number to increase transparency):
    $ aterm -tr -sh 70

  • Can't Alt+double click to open an image?

    hello:                                                                                                             Level: Newbie  Id:Cs6  Os:Win8
    i have read that Win8 is compatible with Id, Ps and Illy (i'm not sure about the other CC apps but i hope they are too)
    however, while following a vid tut by Terry White ~ he directed me to click on an image and to then hold the Alt key while double clicking to open it in full(er) view but when i did this the image opened in Windows Photo Gallery
    well, earlier i had gone to Default Programs and set Windows Photo Gallery as the default to open images ~ not knowing it would prevent Id from functioning or that it would override (apparently) everything else (yes, i am pretty new to OS's in general too) i did this b/c when i would go to my Pictures folders and click on an image to view it was opening in some AWEFUL program that depixelated (<is that a word?) /made my pics/images look just terrible.
    so, i called Microsoft and the man that was trying to help me said that i had to go to "Associate a File Type or Protocol with a Program" and then i had to choose Each and Every Single File Type (.png, .jpeg, .tiff etc etc) for Each and Every Application (Adobe or not) and "Associate" that File Type with the Application i need for it to open ... um ... caugh caugh ... just a moment .... SCREAM!! uh, what? Really?
    Dear goodness ... please say it ain't so!! please?? (lol)
    so, is this really the deal? or does anyone else think i may have been directed incorrectly?
    i went back to Default Programs to remove Windows Photo Gallery as the Default program but i am not seeing where that is an option.
    i totally understand this isn't help for Windows8 forum but IF anyone has experince w/it and is willing/able to help me out i would also greatly appreciate any advice you may be able to lend. i do plan to go run around the net after i'm done here to look for (a needle in a haystack) help in a Win8 forum (yikes & wo is me)
    oh, also the (nice) man at Microsoft couldn't tell me if i went ahead and did this rather Windows Photo Gallery would still open my Pictures or not or if it would return to that awful preview program i began with in the 1st place.
    this was my very 1st time using InDesign and i would really like to start learning it. does anyone know why i cannot Alt+2's click & then have the image open like it's suppose to? or even how i go about telling Windows8 to please let Id ALSO open the files the way it wants?
    sorry for such a long post. i have been through a nightmare episode just ordering my new laptop and now Win8 seems to be creating an entire season
    thanx so very much in advance for your time and efforts. i will also continue my quest for answers and should i find 'em i will certainly return to share and post links.

    hello peter
    thank you so much for asking as i am quite ready to send my laptop back to where it once came
    well, as i understand it there is a bug with the AMD Graphics card
    when i try to draw a shape, add a new layer, use the alt key to "cut" the line of the pen tool the canvas goes totally black and i cannot use the filters or the 3D tools. also, the bg area behind the canvas changes from dark grey to black to transparent
    all of the above are reasons why i saved for 3 yrs to buy a new laptop w/a decent graphics card and it's just totally bum'n me out
    if i understand correctly it's an issue between the AMD and Windows 8 ~ so as of now i am thinking i should either send it back or get rid of Win8 and install Win7 but actually now that i think of it i dunno if Win7 will correct the AMD issue or not but i think it would.
    at first i thought the issues were Adobe related and not as i seem to have found
    my laptop is a Satellite S875-S7376 the gpu is an AMD Radeon HD 7670M, the hard drive is 1TB, i7, and it has 8GB ram, 64bit, Windows 8
    i went to AMD's website and if i understand correctly there is a "fix" that is helping somewhat but NOT for Toshiba notebooks, Sony and Panasonic and AMD is no longer releasing updates every month but only when they feel they have good enough reason to do so.
    i've been unable to find an idea of when AMD thinks they'll have a fix for Toshiba and i've only got under 2 weeks to return this laptop
    i tried to install something called the AMD Catalyst or maybe it's ATI Catalyst Mobility but was told it could not be installed due to incompatible hardware/software on my computer
    i just wish i could get back to work and decide what would be the best thing for me to do
    i seem to be making some folks upset b/c i keep trying to chase down an answer/solution. for instance i didn't realize that the problem i am having is called Flickering and so i had posted again about it at photoshop.com and was given a lashing about how i was already told this and that.
    i was also told that the solution is to just set Photoshop to Basic Draw Mode ... but that is my whole point as i don't want to have to use Ps in Basic mode as the entire idea of investing in a better computer was to be able to enjoy the bells and whistles
    if you've got any ideas or you know of a solution or even if you've heard of one rolling on down the road i would greatly appreciate anything at all that you could share with me
    sorry if i ramble a bit much i'm just frustrated beyond the point of clarity
    thanx again so much for your time & efforts!!

  • Editing in Photoshop vs Edit view on double-click?

    Recently redoing preferences in iPhoto 4, I was thinking again that it would be nice to have those 2 choices be separately controlled, not alternates. I use Photoshop quite a lot, but not on every photo, and in iPhoto I'm used to the double click giving me the edit view, for browsing, sorting and deleting files.
    In general I like iPhoto better than Bridge for an image browser, with its Mail & print options. And Bridge doesn't do well with over 100 or so images in a folder, while iPhoto will handle 8000 at least.
    Rather than exporting a copy and using Photoshop from there (& that's too much hard drive space), I guess I can go into Preferences and change the setting every time I want to use Photoshop or go back to browsing, but what a nuisance. A different way to open in Photoshop would be much more convenient, leaving the double-click still enabled for edit view. Does anybody know if that's in the more recent versions of iPhoto? Or is there some other way to do this?
    .

    Choose PhotoShop as your preferred external editor in iPhoto preferences, but don't select that radio button. After that, a double click on a thumbnail in iPhoto will open the image in iPhoto; but a control-click (or right-click, if you have a two-button mouse) will bring up a contextual menu where you can choose to open the image in the external editor you set in preferences.
    Just remember, if you choose to save the edited copy with a different name (and/or in a different format), use "Save As..." to save it back to a location outside of your current iPhoto Library so you don't corrupt your iPhoto database.

  • Tree component - center vertically?  double-click open?

    When I open nodes of the tree near the bottom, the new branches open down out of sight. Is there some way to make the tree bring a clicked node to the vertical center of the window?
    Also, is there a way to make nodes open and close by double-clicking?
    Thanks

    Double-click:
        <Tree id="tree"
                 doubleClickEnabled="true"
                 doubleClick="onDoubleClick(event)"

                private function onDoubleClick(event:MouseEvent):void {

  • Mouse can't double-click open folders

    I have a mac 10.4.11. I don't know what happened but my mouse can't seem to double-click and open folders in my desktop and folders within folders. I can can only do so by highlighting and using shortcuts on the keyboard. Can someone helps me fix this problem!?!

    I'm using the white mouse that came with the Mac desktop. Double click setting is set to fast but that isn't doing anything because it takes a million clicks before a folder opens. Maybe I did pressed on the wrong  button or something. I don't know. All I know is that I'm using keyboard short cuts to open folders and it's a pain!

  • Open in an old version

    My graphics guy used InDesign CS3 to create a brochure for me. I have InDesign 2.0 on my computer. Is there a way he can export it so that I can edit it on my computer. I've been unable to open either the .inx or the .indd files that he has sent me.
    Thanks

    The only places you will find old versions of InDesign are likely to be private sales like the auction sites such as eBay. Be very cautious of any sale that way. In order to register and activate your software you will need a trnasfer of license form from the orignal license holder. Educatioanl versions are not transferable, nor are versions used as part of an upgrade path unless all versions in that upgrade chain are transfered together, and many users are either not aware of these limitations or don't care. And of course the Internet is littered with useless counterfeits, too.
    If your colleague uses CS3, why would you want to buy CS2? Aside from the best advice, which is you both should upgrade to CS6 (and now is his last chance to do it at a discount), it would make more sense for you to buy CS3 than CS2.

  • Pics don;t open in the Edit window when double clicked

    Hi
    Need some help please.
    I had some problems with iPhoto and after trying to rebuild it etc etc etc, decided to reinstall everything. I backed up the entire library to a DVD, deleted the current library and then created a new one.
    Placed DVD in drive and then dragged the the folder iPhoto library into Pictures (which was empty)
    When I opened iPhoto everything looked ok. All the folders were there and all the pics were where they should have been.
    Unfortunately I cannot open the pics in the Edit window. Just shows a Grey square with an Exclamation mark in the centre.
    I have searched all the other threads but still haven't found any information that has helped.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks
    Jeff

    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If the rebuild doesn't work, then you will need to create and populate a new library:
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Right -click "Open With" shows old Illustrator 10, not newer CS3

    At work we have Photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS3. Due to a large archive of graphics we keep an older version of Illustrator 10.0 for files that just don't open in CS.
    I'm on a new machine with more memory so I want to give this Bridge a chance. But I just found it totally useless for Illustrator.
    The first day I used it I went to open a PDF in Illustrator, so in Bridge I right click and go to open with to only find Illustrator 10 and Photoshop CS3 listed. No Illustrator CS3. Nor any option to browse and choose a different app.
    I went through file associations, and changed all associations with 10 to CS3, but that doesn't solve how to open PDFs in Illustrator CS3 from Bridge without changing its default app from Acrobat.
    Here's what I mean:
    http://premium1.uploadit.org/TimothyB/bridge.jpg
    No where is there an option to tell CS3 Bridge to see Illustrator CS3 instead of version 10. I imagine this might be due to the order the techs installed Illustrator? I hope this doesn't mean I need a tech to mess with my computer to reinstall everything until it shows up as CS3 instead of 10, there are already so many problems that can happen from having two versions installed.

    In XP Pro, not there to be 100% sure, that "open with" already has Illustrator CS3 listed and no version 10, the opposite of what Bridge shows.
    I'll try it, just in case that helps update Bridge.
    Thanks
