Files open with view scaled to 1.6%

This is a new installation of CS6 on a new Macbook Pro running 10.8
When opening any file ... jpg, gif, png, or even existing psd files -- the window is shoved to the top-left-most corner with buttons and title bar hidden behind Photoshop's tool bars ... with the VIEW scale set to 1.6%.
1.6% means the actual image window is just a speck on the screen. Each time, I have to double-click the magnify tool, and then pull the corner down, and then move the window into position.
Can anyone suggest how I get Photoshop to open files correctly? Positioned correctly on the screen?
Thanks

Hi DTG,
Are you by chance resizing the photoshop window (application frame)?
On a mac the application frame is on by default and takes up the whole screen (or most of it) and the documents open as tabs inside the photoshop interface (application frame).
If you've ever used programs on a windows system, then that's what the application frame does.
If you want photoshop cs6 to act like a legacy application on your mac, you can go to Window and uncheck Application Frame.

I just upgraded from PS cs4 to cs6. All of my files open up viewing at .0625% - which is very irritating. How can I change this?

Are you on a Mac or PC? If the former, do you have the Application Frame visible?
Could you post a screenshot of how Photoshop CS6 looks when you first open an image and have it show at the tiny size?
Chances are you've made the main Photoshop window small, which is causing it to try to fit a newly opened image in too small a space.
I'm going to make a wild guess that you're on a Mac, and have dragged the bottom edge of the Photoshop window up instead of turning off the Application Frame, so as to be able to see your desktop.

How change the File Open With list of apps?

In Bridge CS3, how does one edit the list of applications in the File > Open With menu (also available from the contextual menu for any image).
The list contains a number of applications that I would never use to open an image, and I would like to add to it, a new image editor (pixelmator) that does not appear in it. I have looked in the Bridge Help and the Preferences dialog and don't see any option to do this.

OK, I have now learned that Mac OS keeps the list of which apps to open what, in the "launch services database."
This database can be cleaned up and reset which somewhat simplifies the list that is displayed by the Finder OR by Bridge CS3.
Here is an article on how to reset the launchdb:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486
Be sure to read all the way to the end as there are updated instructions down among the comments.
Here is a thread in the Apple Support forums discussing the same issue, and it includes links to some 3rd-party programs that can reset launch services without use of a lengthy Terminal command:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1289317
Even after rebuilding the launchdb, I find that a large number of apps are "registered" to open JPG files, including Camino, Opera, TextWrangler and others with only a tenuous connection to JPG. I don't understand why this is, and I would still like to find a way to limit the JPG Open-With list to a few graphics programs. But cleaning up the launchdb as described in the linked pages, did get rid of some programs and added some missing ones.
Hope this actually constructive info is useful to others.

CC14, all files open with asterisk in file name.

CC14, all files open with asterisk in file name, need to save or cancel to close file. Is there a way to change that?

No. It happens to any InDesign file. I created a new file in CC14, saved, closed, opened and it had the asterisk.
If it is a time synchronization, how do I correct that?

Flash files open with no timeline

I just uprgraded my Mac OS from 10.4 to 10.6. Now some of my Flash files open with no timeline and nothing on the stage. If I try to open a library item it crashes. I tried reinstalling Flash and installing all updates to the OS… no luck. Help!

I was able to open it on an OS 10.3 machine. After deleting the preloader from the stage, the fie works again on a 10.6 machine.

File Open Default View

Using PhotoShop Elements 3, I would like the 'File Open' command to open with LIST VIEW, instead of 'Thumbnails'. Have not found a way to change the default to do this.

Just another amazing problem the MicroSoft will not fix. I prefer details view every time I open a file after just opening the application (e.g., MSWord, etc.), but every time I do this I have to manually select details view. I've tried everything to fix this short of purchasing 3rd party software to do it. I would guess I have done this 50,000 times (at my job) this year alone. But do you think Bill Gates cares that I wasted all of this time? You know the answer to that question. I just purchased a IMac for home (my 1st Apple computer since early 90's), and I'll never purchase another PC that is running the Microsoft operating system...

Mail will not open with Viewer Window

Hi-
When I start Mail, I only get a menubar. It will not open with a Viewer Window and the option to do so is grayed out on the File dropdown menu.
It was having problems earlier displaying messages when moving between folders and was unable to send a message I had just replied to.
New to Apple, don't know where to start..
Thanks,
cj

Too late. Already fixed it. Must have been a bad message on the server because after I logged into my .MAC mail account with another reader (Opera) I was able to download and delete all the messages on the server.
Next time I tried Mail, everything bounced back into shape.

Opening a custom file "Open With..."

Hi, I have created a program which uses file types, and have my own file type. I know how to make the application open when you double click those items, or if I use "Open With...", but the program does not open the contents of the file. How
can I make it open the file, for example if you were to open a Word Document, it would open in MS Word and it would actually load the text in the file. Thanks.

Hi,
Sorry for misunderstanding you.
If you want to know how you can make your program to open the custom file content when you open the program, it is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage issue of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
I suggest consulting on some development forums for better response.

Hyperlinked files open with Pro even though Reader is default PDF application

Hello.
I have a Windows 2008 x64 Server that I have installed both Adobe Pro X and Adobe Reader X on. I have installed Pro first, then Reader, both with MST files, so that Reader is the default PDF viewer. Reader shows as the default program and if you double click on a PDF document, Reader does indeed open. However, if a hyperlink in Word or some other document points to a PDF file, Adobe Pro opens instead. I need to make Reader the default application for all references to PDF files, but I need to keep Pro and Reader installed on the server at the same time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

That was always set correctly. However, I did uninstall and reinstall Reader with a newer patch. It seems to be the default for even embedded PDF files now. The new problem is Reader now asks for the user to select a language before opening, but it does this only with embedded pdfs. Double clicking on an actual pdf file opens Reader with no issues.

Hyperlinked file opens with junk values

Hello Guys,
I am Developing a portal where in people can upload files to different categories. So, there is no problem with uploading.
So, next time when want to view the file list i am just adding the upload directory as a hyper link to the text displayed something like this.
<td class="td"><a href="javascript:void window.open('DocumentPolicies/<%=(String)dV.get(1)%>','Document','200','200')">DummyDocumentFileSubject
</a>
</td>
so, this displays DummyDocumentFileSubject with a hyper link and the specified document name will be opened in a seperat window.
The problem i face is that if it is a word document it some time opens inside the browser itself some time it opens with some junk values.(Even MSWord installed on the client system).
The file type may be different some times .pdf .jpg, .dwg,.apc.etc.
My client wants to view it on the browser.
Or if in case i am doing it wrong. please correct me.
can anybody help me on this.
thanks in advance
regards,
dina

Yes, it looks like you are not setting the appropriate content type to the file extension.

Raw files open with adjustments..

Hello!
I am having trouble with RAW files in Lightroom, and also camera RAW.
When I import a RAW file into Lightroom (i have the current version, 3.5) Lightroom adds adjustments to the file, for example in the basic section of the develop module exposure will be set to 0.25, recovery will be at 100, contrast 54 etc...
I have tried shooting on different cameras and I do not have the problem. I have put the same RAW files into another computer with Lightroom and it works fine. Just seems to be a wierd combination of my camera and my computer.
Everything was working fine, and I recently purchased a new camera, and still everything was fine. Then one day it started adding adjustments to the RAW image automatically. And the same when I open a file in camera RAW..
Any recomendations on what to do/how to solve the issue??!
Thanks!!

In LR Develop module go to Develop tab>Set Default Settings...>click Restore Default Adobe Settings. This will put you back to square one in LR
In ACR at the right end of the Basic panel header is a little triangle. Click on this and at the bottom of the dropdown list click on "Reset Camera Raw Defaults".
Rich
P.S. In each case you will need to open a file from the camera giving you the problem then reset with the file open. This goes for both LR and ACR.

Jar files opening with RAR, WHA????????

Ok, I was trying to Hic get a great java3d platform game (brutal file manager) to load.
I tried again, exept now, the jars open with winrar!
I found my main class problem, I extracted all the files with the class, but it does me no good because I CANT EXECUTE IT!
How can I execute these again?

So you apparently changed Window's file associations to have java.exe open .jar files? Right?
How are you trying to start the game - what is the command you use? Do the game instructions tell you how to start it?
The error message "Cannot find the main class, program will now exit..." means that the jar is not intended to be an executable jar and is without a main class file. It could be caused by a mis-configuration of the game, also. . .
More definite information iis needed.

Why does a my layered Illustrator file open with only one layer, when opened by someone else?

I am using CS6, as is the other user. When they open the file in Illustrator all the artwork is on one layer, even though the original file has numerous layers, and opens with these layers when I open it even now.
I have never come across this problem before in all the years I have used Illustrator and have had no joy when trying to search for this problem.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated as it is confusing us!
Thank you.

Hi Mike, Wade & Larry,
Thank you so much for your replies.
Since I posted this issue, I was later informed that the other user is infact opening my files with CS5 and so a quick solution to this was saving it down to a previous version! Sorry for the confusion!
This problem then becomes clear that it was a version error, but I have always had an error message come up if I try to open something that was created in a newer verion - is this no longer the case?
I have been assured no pop up messages appear when opening the file which I find odd, and also that this layer compression has only just started happening even though many files have been back and forth previously.
A little mystery! At least for now it is all working ok again
Thank you all very much, greatly appreciated.
