File Type associations will not change!

This is a problem with Parellels / VMfusion (???)
I have a problem with some filetype on the Mac OS side associated with the same (or similar) program running on the windows side.
I do not want macside docs or files launching with the windows applications.
On the mac side (no windows garbage running):
When I do this the info box dialog goes though the motions (are you sure your want to change all your xxx applications to xxx applications? Nothing happens.
Any Ideas?

I'd use something like Cocktail to clear launch services cache/dB...

  • File type associations is not working in the App-V 4.6 SP3

    Hello,
    I found issue, that file type associations is not working in App-V 4.6 SP3. When I try to open associated file with double click I receive next window:
    Translate: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
    I have checked associations in App-V Console and in OSD file, everything looks like OK.
    Maybe someone has some ideas?
    Could you please share them with me?
    Thank you in advance.

    Is this only happening on one client machine? If so can you completely clear the application and re-stream\cache it again?
    If that fails, you could try to create the FTA locally on the client

  • Changing a file type that will not open

    sorry if this is  a super simple question but I poked around and can't figure it out. Some time back I rented a Nikon scanner and scanned and saved a bunch of my images to my hardrive. I can see the thumbnails of said photos plain as day. When I try and open said photos in Bridge of PS5.1 it wants to open the file in conjunction with the scanner for some reason. When I click to open an image the icon box from the scanner software pops up as if it is loading then the error message box comes up to say : 'The application Nikon Scan 4 quit' unexpectedly giving the option to Ignore/Report/Relaunch -  In any case - it wants to open the Tiff files I have saved through the Nikon Scan 4. I don't get it as to why that is but in any case I would imagine I just have to save as another file type? When I look to see the type of file it is : 'nikon scan Tiff file'
    Because I CAN see the thumbnails in Bridge all I need to do is change the type of file but I see no way to do it as it is not currently saved as any file name suffix - the name of the file is not .jpeg or .tiff - it simply does not have any file type currently associated with them

    'The application Nikon Scan 4 quit' unexpectedly giving the option to Ignore/Report/Relaunch -  In any case - it wants to open the Tiff files I have saved through the Nikon Scan 4.
    You should also check Bridge Preferences File type association. See what the default application to open in is for the tif files. If this is Nikon change it to PS and it should work.
    It might be that when having used the Nikon software there was an option to hide the extension selected.
    Any way, first duplicate one file and try to add tif as Tai Lao stated in his post and try if that is working.

  • File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

    When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

    If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
    But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.

  • "Set Associations" will not allow Office 2013 Programs / executables to be Associated to a file type

    Have Office 2010 and 2013 installed (installing 2010 first, then 2013) and after Windows Update applied Office 2010 SP2 later on, all of my Office file associations (except for Outlook, it points to 2013 as
    expected) open up Office 2010 programs.  And I'm happy that some programs (Access for example) continue to default to Access 2010.
    Ok, so the problem is that for those Office programs that I want to associate to 2013 versions (Excel, PowerPoint & Word as the biggest examples), when I go into "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default
    Programs\Set Associations" and pick .doc as an example (I've also tried .xls, .xlsx, .docx) and click on "Change Program", then "More Options", "Look for another app on this PC", and finally navigate to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
    Office 15\root\office15" to double click on excel.exe or winword.exe as appropriate, the selection is ignored (i.e. the icon doesn't change to the Office 2013 style and double clicking on .doc file opens it up in Word 2010).
    I do understand there is a "Fix" by either repairing the Office 2013 install or I believe to have seen a Microsoft downloadable fix program, though I do not want to run these as I'm told they will reset
    all file associations to Office 2013, and there are still a couple of programs I want to open up in Office 2010, till I get a comfort level with Office 2013.  Also realize that once Office 2013 SP1 comes out, it will do the same thing that Office 2010
    SP2 did and change the file associations to 2013, whether I want it to or not, hopefully by then I won't have much need for Office 2010.
    Also, I find it troubling that the "Set Associations" will not allow me to select specific programs, and I wonder which other File Associations has Microsoft felt appropriate to restrict access.
    Look forward to the feedback as it pertains to the above (which I realize is unique to my IT Testing needs).
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    We can try to change the file associate in Registry key:
    For all users on this computer, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes.
    For current user account, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. If there is no such extension, please create new keys for it.
    Hope these could be helpful.

  • Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

    When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
    ‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library.  Do you want to associate them now?  When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
    The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
    I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones.  I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
    As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
    If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
      In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID? 

    Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
    I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
    Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
    What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

  • Old icons remain after changing file type association

    I have several video file types in my Movies folder: MPG, MP4, AVI, and MKV.  Many of the file types are automatically associated with Quicktime Player, (despite it being unable to process them, such as the AVIs).  Being unable to play my MKVs at all, I downloaded VLC player to supplement.  I have since grown to like the additional features of VLC, and would like to use it as my player of choice for all movie files.
    Changing the file type associations was simple enough, (Get Info -> Open With, Set as default for each file type), however the pre-associated files still retain their original QT icon.
    How do I go about batch changing the incorrect QT-associated finder icons for icons that correctly represent their new association with VLC?
    Thanks for reading

    I was having that same trouble, but with ".rar" archives (in my case - OS X Yosemite), I tried all ways to solve it, following all kind of tips, like: choosing a new program as default to open the file, app cleaners, terminal commands, disk utility, etc.. but nothing worked. When finally I got problem solved, how I did it: 1) Download the program: Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/), after downloading, I got the message to register it, I simply clicked on "Remind me later". 2) Now, after installing it, configure Cocktail with this short tutorial, exactly as described (http://www.everythingmacintosh.com/tech-notes/maintain-your-mac-with-mac-os-x-co cktail/). After following 2 steps, Cocktail will be configured and will run, in the end your Mac will restart, you can now check that all your archives will be with correct icon (preview/thumbnail). Hope it helps!

  • Change file type associations after install?

    Hi there,
    i need to open/save .mp3 files with audition. apparently i forgot to tick the respective box during the file type association part of audition setup. is there a way to subsequently add .mp3 to a list of associated file types for audition?
    i double-checked - when trying to work around via right-click on a mp3 file --> open with... and then browsing for audition.exe it just goes back to the list of programs to choose from but audition is not the
    also, i can drag & drop mp3 files into audition and work on/with them, but cannot save them as .mp3. this is somewhat strange behavior as i can't see why i can work with the files but cannot really open them with audition nor save them from inside audition. i hope i don't have to reinstall it, any thoughts on this?
    thanks,
    fux
    EDIT: i recognized that this also counts for .pk files, same here..

    thanks for answering ryclark,
    but audition is not in the list. even further, when i choose open with, select choose default program, browse and select audition and click "open", i get directed back to the open with.. list of programs as if nothing happened and audition is still not available from the list. i guess thisis because i didn't associate .mp3 and .pk files with audition in the first place (= when installing audition).
    while it was working, in contrary to your statement, loading a .mp3 file in audition and just clicking on "save", like a ctrl+s would do, saved it perfectly fine as .mp3.
    besides, i know that audition works with .wav files and that .wav is the common format of choice regarding lossless results. nevertheless i would like to be able to load .mp3 files (and .pk files!) into audition and be able to save to .mp3.

  • File Type Associations

    Recently re-installed Adobe Photoshop CS6, Dreamweaver CS4 and Illustrator CS4 because I had considered not renewing my Adobe CC subscription. I decided to stay on CC one more year, but the previous version installs totally messed up my default file associations. I do not want to uninstall those previous apps.
    So of course I went to Bridge preferences and painfully changed them to the CC programs. The problem is if I want to open an .ai in Photoshop CC I used to be able to from one of the options in the flyout. Now I can only pick the default and all the other options are like Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS4. How can I change those other options populating the flyout without uninstalling the old apps?
    I can go to Photoshop CC and manually open it there, but that defeats the whole purpose of Bridge.
    I tried to change file type associations through Windows 8 file type associations but it won't let me do it there either.
    Thanks.

    Find a file you want to have associated to a different application in the Finder.
    Control-mouse click (or right click if you have a two button mouse) the file and select Open With's submenu Other...
    Find the application you want to open it with, and make sure in the Open With... file dialog box, you check "Always Open With" before selecting the application. Documents of that type will now always open with that specific application you chose.

  • Setting Bridge's file type associations in Preferences

    Hello,
    I am using Bridge with Windows 7 and I'm trying to change the file type association for a jpg from Photoshop to Office 2015. When I click on Browse, I find myself looking in Program Files/ Program Files (x86) but nothing seems to be a form of Office 2015 that will work. I see a folder for Office 2015 and inside is an .exe file, but that doesn't do it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    You are looking for an application, and ALL applications in a Windows environment have an .exe extension.  There's no other kind.

  • Cannot disable 'File Types' associations in QT Preferences

    When I open QuickTime Preferences, then choose File Types from the Browser tab, it is impossible to UNCHECK any of the already-associated file types. QuickTime seems perfectly happy to let me check any of the types that are not already checked and re-assign their association to QuickTime, but not the other way around. The ones that are checked will not change when I click on them.
    What is the workaround for this? Thanks.
    Dell Dimension E520   Windows Vista  

    Was there any text showing> [Programatically Set]
    Also if by chance the preferences are corrupt you
    could try deleting the file QuickTime qtp
    Another will be created when the QT control panel is
    re-opened
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
    Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QuickTime qtp
    If you have QT pro write down the Registration info
    to re-enter in case it disappears, but it should
    remain
    There's no indication that anything's corrupt. Everything displays fine when I open QT normally; it was only when I opened it as Administrator that the file associations would not show up in the window.
    This whole problem appears to entirely by design, nothing to do with an error or corruption. QT appears, with this latest version, at least in Vista, to not allow the user to change the file associations that are already assigned to QuickTime. I just wanted to know if anyone knows a workaround for it. If somebody using Vista could try to reproduce the problem, then we could know for sure.
    Thanks.

  • Quicktime 4.7 file type association hijacking

    I've got a really annoying little problem after upgrading to 7.6:
    The update also updated quicktime ( to 4.7) with ALL file types associations active. Arrogant to say the least, but just a nuisance nothing more.
    Problem is that I can't change them back: when I choose the default associations, click apply, click ok. And then when open the preferences panel again: they're all back
    Any solutions? I really don't want to be using quicktime for all my multimedia files: it's a terrible program (too bad it's mandatory for iTunes).
    TIA,
    Dietbrand

    I also have MAJOR problems with PictureViewer as of late. Not only does it have the 1993 file names limited to 8 characters (which I think is a problem with the installer/registry - it puts "C:\PROGRA~1\QUICKTI~1\..." as the path to it by default, whereas the older versions didn't do that.).
    Also, recent versions of Nvidia's Forceware Drivers (I upgraded from 94.24 (July '07) to the latest 169.xx since I'm getting a new video card), cause PictureViewer to crash ONLY when it loads the stupid little "Buy Quicktime Pro" box. Perhaps this could be disabled or made not to crash? Pictureviewer is (soon to be was) my default/preferred image viewer for every image type.
    Oh and there's a third problem with the new PictureViewer/QT combo, even if you tell PictureViewer to open a .gif, it will still load in QT (which I think has to do with QT's file association hijacking), unless I manually went into the registry and changed the associated within QT's part of the reg.
    As for QT. This file hijacking thing is unbelievable. The "do not show this message again" button to stop checking file types on PictureViewer has NEVER worked. Why even have the option if you can't say no? Also, the buttons/checkboxes in the control panel/qt preferences do nothing, it auto reverts as soon as you exit the menu and I'm guessing it doesn't change anything in the registry. Also, even when QT is first installed, it default only takes over MAC-related formats. On the first run of PictureViewer though, it gives the "some file associations were changed" message? By what program, the QT installer? When you press Yes to restore (b/c it's the only way to prevent the popup), it auto takes over EVERY file format QT recognizes... ugh.
    Thank god there is QT alternative. Anybody know any alternatives to PictureViewer that open pictures in new windows?

  • Removing obsolete file type associations from "Open With" menu

    Ever since I removed VMWare Fusion 3.x from my system, I've been unable to remove the Bootcamp file type associations that it created. For example, if I right-click on a PDF and choose Open With, this is a partial list of what I see:
    Adobe Acrobat Pro (default)
    Adobe Distiller (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Fireworks CS4
    Adobe Fireworks CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Illustrator CS4
    Adobe Illustrator (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Photoshop CS4
    Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    ...and on and on and on. 17 additional entries for Fusion for PDS's alone. This junk is driving me crazy.
    I've tried rebuilding the Launch Services database with MacPilot and Onyx (the recommended fix that I've found on the web), but the entries still are there even after restarting Finder and rebooting my iMac. I'm at a loss to figure out how to get rid of these.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    They are stored in the LaunchServices database. You can give this a try, but no guarantees. If you no longer use VM Fusion then I suggest following the information below on uninstalling software.
    Rebuild LaunchServices Database
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
    find /System/Library/Frameworks -type f -name "lsregister" -exec {} -kill -seed -r \;
    Press RETURN.
    Wait for the Terminal prompt to return after which you can quit the Terminal.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • File Type Association fails when opening multiple files from Bridge to Premiere

    I'm running Vista 32 bit CS3 Bridge and Premiere.
    According to the Video workshop
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/video_workshop/
    under Premiere > all 19 topics > Managing Media in Adobe Premiere Pro > at 02:46 it shows group selecting a bunch of quicktime files using Edit > Select all, then File > Open With ...the drop down shows Premiere.
    Mine only show Premiere if a single file is selected. If I multiple select, it only shows Quicktime Player 7.6.
    I've checked the file type association in preferences of Bridge to open these files in Premiere but it still only sees Premiere if a single file is selected.
    I've upgraded Bridge to 2.1.1.9 and set to run as Administrator but to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Import has always worked fine. this is not the issue.
    I have now changed the file association in Vista, re-started Premiere and Bridge and then after having started just Premiere chose File > Browse and the selected all the .mov files and selected Open With. Hurrah! Premiere is now listed!
    However, If I continue the focus changes to Premiere but a warning appears "This file path does not exist on disk at this location".
    Nothing is imported. Unlike the video workshop mentioned above.
    If however, I chose Open and not Open with then the files are imported.
    Seems to be a bug with Open with with more than one file chosen. If a single file is chosen and Open With is applied then the focus changes to Premiere but no file is imported.
    I have seen the exact same problem in another discusion "Re: Bridge CS3: Not importing clips into Premiere CS3" (see the More Like This panel on the rightside of this window)
