File associations in Bridge CC after updating to CC 2014

I am facing a problem with the file association settings in Bridge CC after having updated my other creative suite programs to version CC 2014.
In previous version I had the option when opening eg. PDF file to chose "open with", and then chose Illustrator or Photoshop. This option is no longer available. When using the Preference menu under file association I can only change the default settings to be either Acrobat or for some reason Firefox. When browsing for Illustrator or Photoshop and choosing the program the PDF file will only open in Illustrator or Photoshop as default not Acrobat as it is suppose to. Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

Thank you for the answer, but is doesn't fix the problem. The explorer settings lets me open pdf files in Acrobat, Illustrator or Photoshop.
The problem is that Bridge doesn't allow me to open pdf files in Illustrator.
When trying to solve the problem by altering the file type association settings, browsing and choosing Illustrator CC 2014, the pdf files will then open by default in Illustrator, and this is not what i want. I want the option to chose, open with Illustrator, and still have Acrobat as the default program.
Anybody know how to fix this?

File Associations in Bridge

I've installed and activated Photoshop CS6 (64-bit, Windows 7). The file associations in Bridge are all blown, defaulting either to "none" or IE Explorer. When I try to open a file from Bridge, it opens in Windows Live Photo Gallery, and right-clicking does not return Photoshop as one of the choices. This occurs with Raw files as well as jpegs and tiffs. This has never happened to me with CS4 or CS5, nor with the CS6 Beta that I had been using (and uninstalled before installing CS6). Do I have to manually re-set all of the file associations? How does Bridge not recognize the program of which it is a sub-program?

Thanks for the response. I did uninstall CS5 after installing CS6, but it still seems illogical that Bridge wouldn't default to Photoshop for any file types. I also tried resetting to "default" settings, and that just changed the few I had fixed back to "none". I tried your suggestion for the three resets, and that did not improve the situation. Should I re-install the whole program? (This was an upgrade package: Does CS5 need to be installed for me to do that?).
Thanks again.

File associations in bridge for photoshop cc (2014)

I have just installed Photoshop cc (2014), but Bridge still opens Photoshop cc.
Do I have to change the file associations in Bridge manually or is there a shortcut?

Ha, you're lucky! Mine changed the default to Illustrator as the only choice unless you browse to the application exe for some reason!

After update to CC 2014, Ps can't pass edited image to Lr

As title says, after update to CC 2014 and uninstalling old version I can't get a workflow I used to get. After opening image in Ps from Lr and saving it gives an error:
Is there any easy way to fix this?
If not, how can I reinstall Ps and Lr without losing all my edits and presets in Lr?

Ok.. So now after updating CC, Ps CC 2014 and Lr I can't even pass image to Ps from Lr. When I choose "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014", Ps just opens, but no image is loaded. Can I get some support on this problem?

How to restore file associations in Bridge CS5?

Hi
Some time ago I somehow lost file associations in Adobe Bridge CS5. Now when I doubleclick a RAW file (Canon .CR2 file) I get Firefox, when I doubleclick a JPG I get FastStone and when I doubleclick a PSD file nothing happens at all. Also Photoshop is not in the options I get by right-clicking photos and choosing "Open with...".
I have tried [ Edit -> Preferences... -> File Type Associations -> Reset to Default Associations ] , but that didn't help.
Also when I look in the File Type Association dialog, my file types are set to "Explorer Settings", and Photoshop is not among the other options. I don't know how this uses to be (if associations are defined in Bridge or it uses Explorer/Windows settings?), but how do I easily recreate original setup from when I installed Photoshop?

Hi Neil
Thanks for the answer. I'm aware I can manually setup associations one-by-one for all file types I need, but just hoped there was some easier way. I mean there's a lot of file types associated in either windows/explorer or directly in Bridge. Some that I might not know I need tomorrow. Two things I have found out since I asked the question:
1) The problem is probably caused by uninstalling my old CS4 after I had installed CS5. It looks like somebody experienced a similar problem by uninstalling CS3 after the installation of CS4: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1899159#1899159. So apparently a bug Adobe hasn't fixed even though it was in previous version too!? :-( I think it is only natural to keep your old version installed for some time when installing an upgrade. Just to make sure the new version works well before you uninstall the previous (And I have previous had the problem that a new version of Photoshop had a habit of freezing on my PC - or some other error I don't remember - until Adobe released an update. So there's a reason for my behavior).
2) I have installed a second copy of CS5 now on my secondary portable PC, and are using this to make a similar setup regarding file associations in windows/explorer and Bridge. All associations for Photoshop was lost on my primary PC, and God... there's a lot of file associations to setup again... May I recommend Adobe (if reading this) to fix this bug and/or make a script to automatically recover all associations in case of loss!

3gpp file association in Bridge CS5 Production Premium

Hello,
To make the issue really simple, I have a video camera on my phone that outputs video to a .3gpp file extension.
I am trying to associate Quicktime to open it as the default for Bridge.
The .3gpp or .3gp file extension is not listed in the file type association under preferences in Bridge.
Anyone know how I can set this up?
I do have the files associated with Quicktime outside of the Bridge interface, but whenever i double click the file in Bridge, it plays it in Windows Media Player. Windows media player will play the video portion, but does not play the sound, also i cannot preview the video in Bridge.
I am using windows 7 pro 64 bit.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

File associations in Bridge CS4 for multiple images

After a "cache purge" my file associations got altered. I can go into Edit>preferences> file associations and change that to photoshop; but if I click MULTIPLE images in Bridge and right click "open with" I only get Illustrator as an option. How can I change this to photoshop as a default when trying to open MULTIPLE images?

Ronald Keller - thank you. I am practically in tears laughing about how something so completely simple has had me fretting for days. Could it be my over 60 mind has completely failed me now, or is it I am just a bit rusty on using my software? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to offer up this response!

Adobe Bridge crashing after updating to Yosemite

Adobe Bridge CC crashes my iMAC 27" forcing a restart since updating to Yosemite. Bridge will launch okay if i am seeing images in thumnail view, switch folders and show images, but pressing the space bar for a full screen preview results in a grey screen for a few seconds followed by an OS message that the system has crashed and needs to restart.
This has happened over as many times i tried opening files in Adobe Bridge, by pressing spacebar by defult the images open fulllsceen but now imac restarts.
I have sent 4 times report to apple but no luck.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

.prproj file extension missing in file association preferences Bridge

I recently updated Bridge and lost my ability to open Premiere Pro projects from Bridge. The prproj file would open in Media Encoder instead. I could however open the prproj file in Windows Explorer. The following is the fix to add prproj to file association option to Bridge.
The Steps
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (64 Bit)\Resources\Adobe Bridge Opener Preferences.xml
Right Click on the file named Adobe Bride Open Preferences.xml , select "edit" from the fly out menu. The file will open in "Notepad"
Expand the Notepad window, scroll to the bottom. Before the statement </openers> copy and paste the following statement.
app_name="Premiere Pro">
    <item description="$$$/Bridge/OpenersXML/Description/PremiereProject=Premiere Pro" extensions="prproj" app_name="OS">
     4. Now save the file to the desktop as Adobe Bridge Opener Preferences.xml and close.
     5. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (64 Bit)\Resources
     6. Drag the file you saved to the the Bridge Resources folder.
     7. When prompted click "Move and Replace"
     8. Open Bridge and go to Edit> Preferences> File Type Associations
     9. Scroll to the bottom and you will see Premiere ( if you do not you may need to restore to default)
     10. Now you can add the correct File Association to the .prproj file.
I am not sure if this is an isolated problem, but I thought that this information could help someone out there.

thanks again... when you look at the directory tree in bridge i see...
all of the folder and files where of jpeg and i could open and edit
here but they would not be edited in iphoto... once i updated to
ilife09 they became this...
also if I go in thru the harddrive to get a picturefrom the pictures
folder that you see at the top it sends me here... i now have to
access the photo library by the way of the finder to the pictures
folder... any thoughts as to how to clean this up and would deleting
bridge help remove?

File associations in Bridge CS4

I would like to set the file associations for NEF files as Photoshop (as the default) and Nikon Capture. If I browse to Nikon Capture, Bridge will allow me to set both it and Photoshop as associations, but insists on making Capture the default. If I then click on Photoshop, to attempt to make it the default, Bridge won't allow Capture as an association. How can I have both programs listed, but with Photoshop as the default (so that if I double-click on the thumbnail, Photoshop will open)? Thanks.

All,
I copied this from the Vista Help:
Change the program that opens a type of file
If you double-click a file in Windows and it opens in the wrong software program, follow these steps to choose the program you would prefer that file use. You can change this setting for an individual file, or you can tell Windows to open all files of that same type in the software program you choose.
1. Open the folder that contains the file you want to change.
2. Right-click the file that you want to change, and then, depending on the type of file, either click Open With or point to Open With and then click Choose Default Program.
3. Click the program that you want to use to open this file.
4. Do one of the following:
4A. If you want all files of that type to open in the same software program, select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.
4B. If you want only that file to open in the software program this one time, clear the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.

File association in Bridge

I have CS PS6, Win 7, but recently installed PS Elements 10 to help a friend who is new to photo ediing so that we'd both be looking at the same picture if and when he ran into problems. However, the Elements installation changd the file associations. Why it should do this without even asking is beyond me, or would beexcept that this is an Adobe product. Thank you to the developers of PSE 10! I have changed .jpg and .bmp back, but RAW files will not open in Adobe Camera Raw. Where is the .exe file for ACR? Or what is its name? If I knew that I'd be able to get the association sorted out.
Thanks
David

It's only for CS6, and I imagine will handle both opening Canon .CRW files, and converting to .DNG.
Here is a link from the Adobe site for a bit more understanding of Camera Raw and DNG, however there is plenty of additional info to find in books, Adobe TV etc, just Google a bit.
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
And as Curt already stated, If you have a new dSLR and your PS is not supporting the latest ACR for this you can always use the DNG route. This free converter is always available in the latest download and lets you convert the new Raw type to DNG and those DNG files can be opened in older ACR version.
But using CS6 you have access to the latest options of ACR (the new 2012 conversion and different development options)
BTW, ACR 7.2 is the latest version but it seems the manual download is not available. Using the AAM (menu help / updates should do this for you) should auto update both ACR and the DNG converter.
If you do want a manual download check this forum post, but be aware that activating the given links for Mac and Windows starts to download the file directly, can't find a way to check the site itself and don't know who controls this site. However the forum posted reactions of satisfied users:

Error uploading file to web before and after updating

Hi,
I'm running adobe muse on a mac 2013 yosemite. I changed from the original version of adobe muse to the 2014.2 version, just to let you all know.
Earlier today, I woke up and one of my two websites I've created in the original version of adobe muse had lost the information required to upload to FTP Host. I retyped in my information, and it started to upload my website. Eventually it hit the 61% mark, and said that it was "connecting to the FTP host" for a really, really long time. I waited about 20 minutes- nothing happened. So I then decided to update adobe muse to the 2014.2 version.
After updating, I tried uploading my site to the web again. I put in virtually the same information as before, and now I'm getting an error message saying "Could not sign in. Check your network connection and try again. If this problem persists, try again later."
Can anybody help me here? My website is hosted by GoDaddy.com, just to let you know.
Thanks in advance,
Gavin

Muse 2014.3 was released last week , please tr y to update Muse and then check.
Thanks,
Sanjit
