Edit Original... but not in Paint!

I'm running InDesign CS2 on Win XP.
When I click on the Links Pallet and chose "Edit Original" and the image is an RGB .jpg, it opens by default in Microsoft Paint. How can I set it up so that these images open up in Photoshop?
Every time Paint opens up, it's like I'm running into an old girlfriend at the mall. "Oh, hey! Um.... how are you? Wow, I'd love to stay and chat but I gotta get going... it was nice to see you again, say hi to your mom!"
Then when Photoshop opens up shes like "Who was that?"
"Nobody, baby, it's just some program"

May I also offer my congratulations on your character study of Paint! Reminds of one I saw recently of comic sans...
Personally I like to have the default for opening jpegs as a lightweight photo viewer (Picasa 3 is great), when I want to edit one I just use the reveal in explorer command and do it from there. Photoshop opens as default for psds and tifs and if I do click edit original on a jpeg I am spared the embarassing encounter with Paint.

How To Duplicate Songs In A Playlist To Edit Info But Not Lose Original?

I'm making a Christmas playlist and want to edit the info on the various songs -- I'll add my own "album artwork" and will change the track info so each of the 25 songs is numbered 1 of 25 ... 25 or 25
bla bla bla
How best do I deal with the playlist so I can make my changes for this project but not lose the original info associated with each song? For example I'll want to add my artwork this time but want the original file to still have the original artwork, track number, album name, etc.
what's the easiest way?
Thanks

Wow ... a flurry of comment on what I thought was a basic question
Many thanks to all!
I am not aware of the "automatically add to iTunes" function -- is it a folder, a button, a menu item, ...? I don't see it in my iTunes and there is no mention when I did a search in the help. I'm sure it is right in front of my face.
What I was thinking of doing was dragging the songs to my desktop and then dragging back. But am I then going to get messed up with the file being recompressed?
Interesting stuff!
Thanks again.

Upload functin works in Edit mode but not in View mode

I am using the Oracle AS 10g PDK to integrate struts application into Portal. I found the upload function works fine in portlet edit mode, but it doesn't work in view mode (Go to the "The page cannot be found" and URL is "http://servername/portal/page"). Does anybody know the reason.

Hi there
Can you post a screen capture of what your Timeline looks like?
Odds are your Click Box is pausing in a weird place.

Editing pages but not others...

http://castle.eiu.edu/~eiu_taga/
I need to update this page, and I basically need to create / update some rules without affecting other pages.
For example, I'm creating a new page, "Past Work," and I need to adjust the .left rule, but not have it affect any other pages.
I'm sure there is an easy solution, but still learning the CSS rules and such.
Thank you.

There are 3 types of CSS styles.
1) EXTERNAL = a separate physical file that contains your site wide CSS rules and to which all your HTML pages are linked. See link below:
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/DW-Link-Stylesheet.shtml
2) EMBEDDED = page specific styles between the <head> & </head> tags in your HTML document. Embedded styles take priority over external styles. You might use embedded CSS to have a different background image on a particular page.
3) INLINE = styles inside the html code between the <body> & </body> tags. Inline styles are rarely used on web sites except to over rule a style from somewhere else.

Can I edit multiclips, but NOT in real time?

I love multiclip editing, but right now I've got 5 angles that were shot without a director calling the shots, so any given edit can require some real decision-making. I often must choose between the lesser of 5 evils, so-to-speak, and I can't really do that in real time.
Is the multiclip function "pause-able?" Can I edit on the fly for a few cuts, pause the process to scrub around for a minute and make a edit decision, and then continue in real time?
Thanks for any insights!

Yes.
If you simply need cutaway shots...
I'll usually set up my multiclip on V1, the activate the V2 track for 'cut-ins'.
I can easily place the playhead over an 'active angle' of the camera I want to utilize, then hit the 'f' key. This will 'find' that point on the original clip, from which I can quickly scrub back and forth to find what I want and drop it on V2.
I've set up a 'quick-key' for the Gang/Open on my '/' key, so I can just hit that after dropping the shot on V2, which gets me back to multiclip functionality.
Once the edit is locked, collapse V1, then select all shots on V2 and shift-drag them down to V1.
Not sure that's what you're looking for exactly, but it works for me. BTW, I make it a habit to only cut a few shots, then stopping, then carrying on. This way you don't lose shots that you like when the 'cuts' are set.

Text Caption appears in Edit Mode but not in Preview Project or Web Browser

I'm using Cp4 and have downloaded Adobe Flash 10 Active X, it's ver 10.1.82.76. I've added a simple text caption with these options:
Timing Display: Rest of slide
Appear after: 2.0 seconds
Transition effect: Fade in only
In: .5 seconds
And Visible is checked
I also have a simple line that I drew with the draw line tool and included an arrow on the end of it.
Everything on the screen works including the click box, the animated text and the failure caption. For some reason the text caption and the arrow are not appearing except in Edit Mode. In Preview Project, they disapper but the click box, failure caption and animated text work fine.
I've rebooted, copied this screen into a new instance of Cp4, re-created these objects on a freshly recorded screen, chosen Order: Bring to Front, created a brand new screen completely from scratch and downloaded the Flash 10 Active X version mentioned above.
They funny thing is, is that the text caption and arrow works fine on other screens in the project. I have 76 screens total.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any suggestions?

Editable region but not in code view

EDIT: While cooking dinner I thought that the computer "fixes" itself when it reboots what about Dreamweaver? I closed DW down. Reopened the app and voila. I CAN edit that section in code view now. It's weird but it appears to be working. I'll repost if something is amiss again regarding this issue. I'll leave the post up in case it's helpful to anyone else. thanks.
I have new pages made from a template. I can only edit in design view NOT in code view. I get the standard error of I'm trying to edit where I'm not allowed. I've made templates many times but never had this problem (I don't think!). Does someone have a tip or help for me? In addition to this issue I was not able to change the title of the page until I added the editable region in the template for title line. That's always been default editable before. Thanks a lot. I'm using DW8.
begining code from template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Party Invitation Boutique</title> 
begining code from new pages:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Baby Blue</title> 
-------------then further down on the page is the editable region-------------

<div id="content_right">test only can type in design view. can't add div boxes
even in this editable region. ugh. can't even type next this this text in the
code view. </div>


Best thing you can do in the future is run your code through the validator if the editable region exists:
http://validator.w3.org/
If there are code errors with other tags on the page then it is possible DW is overlooking its own template code. Unfortunately without seeing the whole page I cannot say this is definitely the case, but a likely possibility.

HT201493 When trying to edit one of my "friends" on the Find Friends App. I noticed I can edit pics but not information, one of the numbers I have is wrong, it showed up when I added my daughter and it's not hers, I can't get rid of it to put hers in.

Is there a way to edit numbers and addresses on Find Friends? I have been trying to fix a problem with my daughters iphone mobile number listed on my iphone. It brought up a number I believe she used for a social site but won't let me enter her actual mobile number. I contact her through her iphone using her phone number.

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

I as a webdeveloper can edit site - but not the invited publisher?

Hei, I have a strange problem. I invited 2 cclients, to try out ICE and with the first client as publisher it was immediately successful.
I invited him to a second site, but this time the answer was, no editable region. But I can edit it on my account and all codes are the same than on the first site, which the client is able editing and publishing.
Today I invited another customer and the same problem occurs - I can edit the site, but she cant. I invited her as a publisher.
We even changed roles, by setting up an account, where she invited me as the publisher and she was the webdeveloper.
The same thing occured, that I could edit and publish but she couldn`t....this is not logical to me!!!
Please help.

The typeface has to be on the computer of your visitor as well.
If not, an replacement typeface will be used.
Either iWeb provides the alternative, or the browser chooses one.
It's not iWeb specific.
Here's how I solve it :

Photos show up in edit mode but not in published site

I am using iweb 09 and paste 20 photos into a tempate and they show up in edit mode fine. When I publish the site locally all the photos are missing. What can I do to fix that?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. On the premise that it's a damaged library that's causing the problem make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.

Editing date but not time

I am trying to alter the date on a batch of photos but leave the time taken the same. Using batch change won't allow me to achieve desired results

Do not use batch change - use adjust date and time - just above batch change

You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.
If y oare having problem with iTunes not related to syncing try posting in the iTunes for Mac forum

Otherwise try restoring the iPod from backup

"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.

When I click "Edit Original" in the links panel it opens MICROSOFT PAINT!

When I click "Edit Original" with a jpeg selected in the links panel it opens Microsoft Paint! In Windows (7) the file association is Windows Picture Viewer (NOT Paint!) and in Bridge it is associated with Photoshop CC. In InDesign we have the option of choosing which program to edit linked files with. In Illustrator we are stuck with the astounding Paint! Why?? 17 versions and this still bugs me!

Thanks Mylenium.
I know how to change the default program associated with an extension (I would like to keep picture viewer as the default open option for JPG) but I don't know how I change the EDIT association (currently Paint for JPG) in Win 7.
And it would be much more useful if AI could just give us the option of setting defaults (as Bridge does) OR AI could just use Bridge's defaults OR give us an "Open with" option as in Indesign. So many possible solutions, I've feature-requested this on occasions since CS1, it works in other Adobe apps, so I can only think Adobe is wilfully ignoring this issue for Irritator.

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address." But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
