File Associations in CS 5.5 for Win7

I preordered CS 5.5 Web Premium and just installed it.  I also uninstalled my previous version Adobe suite (CS4).  Now none of the file associations have been made for any of the Adobe related file types.  So for example, psd files are now associated with quicktime.  When I try to change the file association (set it to PhotoShop) it does not allow me to do so.  It acts like nothing happened.  What can I do?  Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?

I have exactly the same issue affecting InDesign and Illustrator. Photoshop had the same issue but it allowed you to set the default program. It seems the only way to do it is to open the program and open the document from there. This is a complete pain!

  • File associations in Windows 8.1 for applications on a network location

    Hi,
    From Windows 7 to Windows 8 it has been done alot of changes regarding file file assocations. It seem that the main reason was security and was "patched" by having Windows read the hash for the applications instead of where the application was
    located.
    but there seem to be some major hicups and there is limited info on the web covering these issues.
    First issue: when running:  Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml and then creating a GPO configuration pointing to
    thi XML file.  With this feature only common file extensions is supported and when users are changing to another computer, these settings is not possible to syncronize using roaming profiles.
    Second issue: In the appassoc.xml file applications must be either appid(metro app) or common application on local harddrive to be registered and not a .EXE
    file on a network location.
    It seems a little strange if this is the case and if there is no other options for administratos to set file associations in more flexible ways. Does anyone have some more info on
    this topic other than these link:

    Hi Primeid,
    You could use Group policy for file associations or you could deploy the xml file during image deployment. However as you mentioned that the file associations only applies to common application on local hard drive or metro app.

    We understand your confusion about this, but we hope you understand that using network location for file association deployment is highly insecure and it is out of our recommendation since the content in that network location could be changed without any
    notification or permissions constraint.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • File Association: "Change All" working only for recommended programs

    Hello,
    I am having problems with the "Change All" function in the Finder. I only seem to be able to make a change to a program which is already recommended in the drop-down menu. If I use "Other..." and select the program and then select "Change All", it automatically reverts back to the Default setting.
    As a concrete example:
    I want to open all .tiff files with Acrobat Pro 7.0, the default setting is Preview. If I select Acrobat and click on Change all, I get the standard verification dialogue. However as soon as I confirm, the drop down menu switches back to Preview. Instead, if I select Photoshop (which is already in the drop down menue) I can make the change without problems.
    I tried to restart and I even manually edited the "launch services" plist file - changing to Photoshop works after restart, changing to Acrobat is ignored.
    File vault is off. Repairing permissions was also without success.
    Would anyone have an idea how to fix this?
    Best regards,
    Mark

    Unfortunately, there isn't always a way around this. PDF files are an excellent example. A PDF file created by Adobe has a Creator of CARO and a Type of PDF_. Preview has a different Type and Creator code for PDF files created with it.
    So what happens is when you assign (say the Adobe Reader) to Adobe PDF files, it associates them with those based on Adobe's Type and Creator codes. That usually means PDF files created with Preview will still open in Preview.
    If you associate Preview PDFs with the Adobe Reader, then the OS breaks the link to the Adobe Type/Creator codes. Now Preview PDF files will open in the Adobe Reader. But since the Adobe created PDFs are no longer linked to the Reader, the OS opens them in the nearest default program, which is Preview.
    You end up with an unwanted one-or-the-other problem.

  • File association in Firefox ESR

    I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox ESR 10.0.9 installed but the file association is not working. For example, the history window when the download request to open the folder nautilus does not start. Pdf files, jpg and others are not open with their applications.
    The 16.0.1 version of Firefox installed by default works perfectly.

    Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    See:

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Itunes for WIN7: attempting to copy to disk "..." failed.  The file name was invalid or too long

    itunes for WIN7: attempting to copy to disk "..." failed.  The file name was invalid or too long
    help!!

    Max. path length is 255 characters, or perhaps there are some non-displaying characters hidden there. Try dropping a song you want to add to iTunes into the Automatically to iTunes folder to see if that works any better.

  • How do I reset the default file association for .bat files on Windows 8.1?

    Windows 8.1 allows the user to change the file association for .bat files. I made the mistake of using this facility to change the default file association for .bat files to Notepad++. Now when I attempt to run a .bat file, the script for the .bat
    comes up in Notepad++, instead of its being run as an executable file!  All my .bat files are now useless. I tried finding a way to change this back to the original executable setting, including deleting Notepad++ from my system, but nothing
    has worked. 
    There are discussions that I found on the Internet about this problem, and the solutions to which I was led have not worked either. Most of the solutions apply to Windows 7 or Vista, but not to Windows 8. There are a few solutions that purport to apply to Windows
    8 and 8.1, but they do not work for me.  
    (Disconcertingly, some of the solutions presented for the problem that apply to Vista or Windows 7 and are dated as early as 2009, so this problem has apparently been around for some time, but Microsoft still keeps .bat files on the Control Panel facility that
    enables the change to be made. I cannot see why, but there it remains.)
    Can someone please help me change this file association back to the original setting for Windows 8.1? Remember, most if now all the links that address this issue are focused on Windows 7. I need an answer that has been tried and proven to apply to Windows 8.1.
    Nothing I have tried works.

    Hi,
    For the issue, we can restore Default File Extension Type Associations through adding the registry entries.
    1. Download the .reg file from the following link.
    http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/tutorials/8025d1345781188-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-bat.reg
    Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
    2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.
    3. Double click on the downloaded .reg file to Merge it.
    4. If prompted, click on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge.
    5. Sign out and in, or restart the computer to apply.
    6. If you are logged in as a standard user and this still does not help, then have the administrator also merge the needed .reg file for the listed file extension or protocol below while logged into their administrator account.
    Hope this helps.

  • Did JWS prompt for file associations in 1.5?

    I have a vague memory of running a sandboxed app. that claims file associations, and being pleased to see a prompt asking whether I (as a user) actually wanted to make the file association.
    That was in 1.5. I just tried the same app. again in 1.6 (it is my [sandboxed demo of the JNLP API file services|http://pscode.org/jws/filetest-sandbox.jnlp]) and although I was prompted for 'desktop integration' (it also suggests a desktop shortcut) there was no prompt for the file association.
    You can get the build files at the [page that describes the file service|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#fs].
    Is my memory faulty? Has there been a change in the way file associations are handled?
    Edit 1:
    I forgot to add. The file type claimed is '.zzz'. A normal '.txt' file renamed to '.zzz' will open in my little demo just fine (tested it just then). So the file association is successful, it is just that I was not prompted, that bothers me.

  • Changing file associations for Stuffit

    Soooo, I tried opening a BIN file using Stuffit Expander (well, indirectly using it by opening the file from Firefox), but because the VLC Media Player has changed the file associations so that by default it opens them, I can't open it (and for the record, the BIN file in question is the install file for AIM, direct from the AIM website...I'm downloading it as a backup for file transfers). Because Stuffit seems to be integrated within the kernel (as opposed to being a separate program), I can't go about changing the file associations the normal way. Is there a way for me to do it without uninstalling VLC?

    Stuffit Expander is a separate program. You can get it here.

  • File Associations for all users

    How does one go about changing file associations for file types for all users? I've recently installed iWork '08 on a computer on the network and now when I log in as a user it wants to open all of my Excel and Word Documents in Numbers and Pages respectively. How can I get it to default back to Microsoft Office for all of my Microsoft Office documents for all users. The iWork '08 install seemed to just take over, so it must be possible.
    Thanks!

    I too need this information, but seeing it's been over a year and no one replied to the thread starter.....

  • No file association for PDF files

    I have installed Adobe Reader on my Nokia E70 (Series 60 3rd edition). I am able to open PDF files, provided they are very small ;-) directly from within Adobe Reader, but not via File Manager. Does anyone know how to set the file association of .PDF extension to open with Adobe Reader?
    Cheers

    >It worked for me but the solution was not an intuitive one. Seems like Adobe should work out this kink for future customers.
    The fact that you had a problem suggests that it's your system, not Adobe that is the root cause. A successful and undamaged installation WILL create the proper file associations, and will even use the correct version icon for older files (in Windows, though, only one version of the application -- the last one installed -- will be associated with the open command from Explorer or Bridge).

  • No file association for ID CS3

    I have a fairly new Windows XP box and have configured my Adobe the same way as on my last computer: Full CS3 Design Premium installation, plus ID CS2 (for compatibility reasons). All of my .indd files are associated with ID CS2. Okay, I guess it must be because I installed CS2 2nd.
    No problem. I just went into Windows Explorer to change the file association to ID CS3. But ID CS3 is not listed in the program list. So I browsed to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\InDesign.exe and clicked okay. But the association does not change. The icon and program association remain ID CS2. One last tidbit: In Windows Explorer, if I right-click an .indd file to "open with", the only program available is ID CS2.
    All the above applies to Bridge as well as Windows Explorer.
    I have to open my .indd files by starting ID CS3 and opening from w/in the program or by dragging a file to the open program window. If I'm in Bridge and I forget and double-click on a file, it loads ID CS2 and then tells me I can't open the file.
    I assume something happened in the Registry that shouldn't have (or didn't happen that should have), but I don't understand why Windows won't let me manually associate the file type.
    Any ideas on how to help Windows find ID CS3 without reinstalling the program?
    Thanks,
    -David

  • Need File Association for Crystal Reports v.11

    Post Author: pts123
    CA Forum: General
    Policy Accounting is testing a new suspense processing application that relies on Crystal Reports v.11 for report delivery. Currently this report (SUSPENSE_DETAIL_REPORT.rpt) is located in the
    kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense directory. It is also crawled into the portal in the following location.
    Knowledge Directory : Intranet : Departments : Policy Accounting : Suspense
    However, when a user clicks on the report link, (either in the portal knowledge directory or from the file itself in the
    kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense directory), Crystal Reports v.7 is launched rather than Crystal Reports v.11.
    Is there a way to get the report to open with Crystal Reports v.11? This appears to be a file association issue and potentially involves all of the users in the SUSProc active directory group.
    The new suspense processing application is currently in test and is scheduled to go live on June 15, 2007. We need to test in the final location (
    kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense) prior to our go live date. Any assistance in resolving this issue is much appreciated. Becky Clark previously assisted me on other tickets involving the Crystal Reports v.11 application.
    Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

    Hi Mike,
    From CR XI R2 and CR2008 You can export the reports to MS excelt 97-2003 version i.e., 65K records only.
    Using CR2011 and CR2013 You can export the reports to MS Excel 2007 version i.e., Xlsx format.
