Files won't open from Bridge to PS

I have been using CS5 since last year with no bother but suddenly I can't open a file from Bridge into PS, they keep opening in Quick Time.
I have looked in preferences/file association, but all the extensions have "none" beside them and when I try to enable them I keep getting a browse button but I don't know if this is correct and if so what am I browsing for? Can anyone please help. RAW files open in Camera Raw OK.

Have never used Lightroom so hard to say.
Since something happened to Bridge the same event could have affected Lightroom.
Since you tried holding Ctrl and opening Bridge but did not get a reset window if this happens again work with this until it works.
May have to reset preferences in Lightroom but do not know what the keystroke it for that.  Might have to go the the Lightroom forum.

  • Canon 7D Mark II files won't open in bridge or photoshop

    I am using photoshop CS5 and purchased a canon 7D Mark II and my files won't open. I updated to the photoshop 8.7.1 and my files still won't open. How do I fix this?

    Assuming you mean ACR (Adobe Camera Raw plug-in) 8.7.1, not "Photoshop" what you write makes no sense.
    ACR 8.7.1 needs at least CS6 to run.  You will never be able to open your raw files from that camera directly in CS5.  There will be no further updates for the obsolete, unsupported CS5 applications.
    You have to go the free, stand alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1.  Locate it, download it, install it and then launch and run it on ever folder of raw files to convert them to raw DNGs you can then open in your CS5 setup.

  • Basic help required for multiple files to be opened from Bridge to PS

    Hi
    I am attempting to shave off a few hours from my workflow and because I'm new to Bridge I'm unsure how to do this. I'm pretty sure anyone out there with a small working knowledge of Bridge or CS3 could help me.
    I am attempting to open three instances of the same RAW file into CS3 from Bridge. The three instances, although the same image, need to go through CameraRaw and change the exposure. One normally exposed, one +2 exposure and one -2 exposure. As you may have worked out I am attempting a pseudo-hdr effect with the one RAW file.
    How do I, with just one click, open the file three times, change the exposure each time, and then save the differently exposed files as tiffs?
    If it's ImageProcessor that I need to use then I'll admit I can't quite work out the rules for doing this!
    Any help gratefully received.

    Have a look at this thread.....

  • Files won't open from finder or by dragging to application icon in dock

    Clicking or double clicking on a file in finder causes it to blink as if it is opening but it does not open. Dragging the file to its application in the dock causes the application to open but the file does not open. I can only open a file from inside an application using File > Open.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First of all, are running you have any third party apps that change your system appearance?
    If so, try removing them from login items (see below).
    Then, create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    (Note: If you are running build 9C7010 do not install the Update.)
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
    If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.

  • Office 365 files won't open from network drive

    I can’t open any office  documents from a mapped network drive. I can however go to file explorer and go straight the server directory (\\servername\share) and open any document. As a workaround, I created a shortcut on the desktop that points
    to the share to allow the user to continue working.
    I have checked permission and added the path in Trust Center. I know it’s not the computer because I have logged in with other users and everything works fine. I have also logged into other computer with the user that is having the problem and again
    everything works. I'm convinced it some setting I'm missing within the user profile on the computer.

  • PDF file won't open after saving it from the web.  get error message file is damaged.

    My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web.  I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion? 

    I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
    But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
    CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

  • Why does paintbrush not work on images opened from Bridge?

    This problem may be due to another cause but the most common occurance is when an image is opened from Bridge so I've posted it here.  Here are the details.
    I have had tons of problems with CS4 on my desktop PC but seem to have most of them resolved with a new video card, updated driver  and help from an earlier thread.  In fact, I thought all problems solved but this one has persisted.  If it matters I'm running Windows XP service pack 3, 4gb of RAM of which 3.4 is available.  It has an 2.67 GHz Intel Core2Duo cpu.
    If I open CS4 and open an image, all paintbrush tools (paintbrush itself, clone tool, healing tools, etc) work fine.  Sometimes I can work for hours with no problems.  Other times these tools simply stop working.   When this happens seems random.  For example, the other day as long as I did not send anything to print, all worked fine but after printing a few images the tools stopped.  Other times I've printed and the tools still worked.  Sometimes if I open images direct in Photoshop using file -> open, all is well but as soon as I launch an image from Bridge, tools don't work.  Other times launching from Bridge works fine, BUT more often than not, it seems to occur after launching from Bridge, hence the post here as I already noted.  I've tried to trace down a common set of circumstances but it is too erratic.
    What is interesting also is that the use of the tool shows up in the history panel as a step taken.  There just is no visible effect on the image.  This problem has been present since CS4 was originally installed along with several other problems.  In the course of attempting to solve them all, I have deleted preferences and allowed them to rebuild, I have actually uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop multiple times. 
    More confounding is that CS4 works fine on a clunky old laptop with less RAM and a much, much older video card.  I also, as a test, ran the 30 day trial on the computer I'm using here.  It too is older and less RAM and that worked fine too.  So it seems to be saying there is something wrong with the computer used for photo editing or the video card.  Don't think it's the card.  I bought a new one.  It didn't solve any problems so I bought another and it corrected many of the other issues I was having.  Indeed after installing the latest drivers for this card, absolutely everything worked perfectly for almost two days but now this paintbrush tool issue is back. 
    So what the heck can be going on that is cumulative or is there a hardware component that is erratic or have I missed something in CS4?  Man I love the power of the program and the improvements since CS3 but if I have to shut it down and restart it every single image, clearly that is not feasible.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Well, now I'm an idiot.  I fired up without the tablet plugged in and
    paintbrush worked fine on all files.  I then left the image open I had just
    painted on, plugged in the tablet with pc still running, no paintbrush
    function using tablet mouse.  Without unplugging the tablet I again tried
    the regular mouse and paintbrush worked fine.  So it's not a matter of any
    sort of conflict with the tablet being active, it sure looks like a tablet
    malfunction.  It still mystifies my how this tablet is so smart it can tell
    the difference between psd and jpg but there it is...can't argue with
    results.  Still, one last thing confounds me and that is the tablet works
    fine on all file types in CS3 and every other app I have.  If there was a
    malfunction with the tablet, wouldn't you think it would misbehave on all
    apps?  Could it be that the tablet needs a new driver?  You must've had a
    clue to recommend this course of action.  Now that we're here, what do you
    suggest or should that be another thread?
    By the way, if it matters I had already upgraded vc drivers and CS to 11.0.1
    before this started.

  • HELP! Files won't open and previously had Firefox icon instead of DW icons!  Leap Year thing?

    Hi!  I went to update my website, which I do every night before the first day of every month and all the files had a FIrefox icon instead of the usual Dreamweaver one.  I have shut down, reinstalled DW MX 2004 but the files still do not open.  The icons have now changed to DW but they are not opening with right click, opening from Applications folder, double clicking the file, from get info and open with DW.  I am stumped. HELP!  Need to update for March 1st.
    Is it something to do with Leap Year 29th Feb?  Checked the clock in preferences but can't see how this affects it.
    Firefox is always updated but the latest version does not seem to be as efficient as previous upgrades.  We installed Chrome as well.  Do they interfere with each other?

    Hi Ken
    I wish the 7.1 updater download had helped but it didn¹t.  All the files
    were backed up before the installation, which went fine.
    Mac 10.5.8
    We used Disc Warrior to defrag the hard drive, which did not make a
    difference.
    We recently started using Chrome, so now have 3 browsers in the dock,
    Safari, Firefox and Chrome.  Do they interfere in any way with each other?
    The files, which I hadn¹t touched for a month as I update on a monthly
    basis, initially had the Firefox icon.

  • ITunes won't open from dock or apps

    When I click on the iTunes icon on the dock, it bounces once (sometimes twice), then stops bouncing and nothing opens. I tried opening from the application folder and nothing. I tried downloading the most recent version, but then I can't open the .dmg file in order to install (the files flashes like usual, but then nothing opens up).
    It's not just iTunes acting like this-- Safari and iChat are acting the same way. Software Update won't open either. Other programs such as Firefox, quicktime, Word, etc, are fine.
    My Norton Antivirus was expired and I downloaded an upgrade today-- but that .dmg file won't open either! I ran a virus scan anyway with the old Norton, and it didn't find anything.....
    Things started acting up after I did a software update the other day. Now, when I plug in a memory stick or external hard drive (Lacie), they won't show up on the desktop, but if I restart with them already plugged in, they show up. The iTunes trouble started today when I restarted in order to access my external hard drive (it was fine this morning before I restarted!)
    I think I covered all bases.... Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I would first try to Repair Permissions under Disk Utility. If that doesn't help, you might to post over in the Tiger forum, as this is obviously more than an iTunes issue. You might also try logging in and launching an app *under a different user account*. That could help narrow down the cause of the problem.

  • Safari won't open from dock after upgrading to leopard

    I've upgraded from OS X 10.4.11 Tiger to OS X 10.5.2 Leopard with the upgrade DVD which arrived today and all the available Software Updates (which included a Safari update). No more Software Updates are available - I've checked.
    Safari and Mail will now not open from the Dock. Neither will iChat, AddressBook, iDVD (which produces a pop-up saying it "quit unexpectedly" - it didn't appear to start at all), and iCal. Safari and Mail WILL open from my Applications folder thankfully. I haven't checked the other mentioned applications, except iDVD which does the same non-opening with pop-up from Applications too.
    I have run permissions verification and permissions repair from Disc Utility on the Mac HD. I have run disc verification from there too and the result said the disc appears OK. Neither solved the Dock problem.
    The icons in the Dock don't bounce or anything. They remain still and un-animated. I just get a pop-up message saying "You cannot use the application "Safari.app" with this version of Mac OS X". Which surprises me as it's a native Apple Mac application isn't it? Obviously it says "Mail.app" for mail, "iChat.app" for iChat etc.
    I reinserted the Leopard installation DVD and installed all the applications from the Optional Install.mpkg folder, including Safari and Mail. This has made no noticeable difference: they still won't open from the dock. I have just noticed that an additional icon for Safari appears at the far (right hand) end of the dock when I open it from Applications. But it disappears when I close Safari, so no good for opening it.
    It could be worse, I can actually open some of the applications from my Applications folder. But this is inconvenient and besides, it is supposed to work from the Dock.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Can anyone help me to solve it please?
    I have backed-up (not using time machine - I backed-up before I upgraded). I hope to avoid having to erase and reinstall but I will IF that will solve this problem (and not cause any others
    Help please. Thanks.

    Hi
    Dock icons are simply alias. The ones on your dock may be corrupted, especially since you can open Safari from the applications folder. To remove an icon, right click on it and select "remove from dock", or simply drag it off the dock, where it will disappear in a puff of virtual smoke.
    Then, go to the Finder and single-click/hold any item you want on the dock. Drag it there.
    Try Safari or the other apps again.
    Specific to the Leopard upgrade, important any 3rd party items installed in your system are Leopard compatible, otherwise you'll have operational problems when using them.
    One other thought. It is possible the Dock is corrupted, causing the problem. If the above does not resolve the problem, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. There, move the com.apple.dock.plist and com.apple.dock.db files to the desktop, then relaunch the Finder (hold down the option/command/esc keys to reveal the Quit Panel. Select the Finder>relaunch.

    any ideas?

    HI,
    If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
    This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
    Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
    It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
    iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
    Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
    It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
    The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
    iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
    Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
    With  Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself  (on it's own) and restart iChat  (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

  • FCP 5.1 file won't open in FCP 7

    Hi.
    I am at my wits end...I have a FCP 5.1 file that I have been working on for years.
    I had to upgrade to FCP 7 for reasons I won't go into and now my FCP 5.1 file won't open.
    It is a file with footage from P2 cards. It has magic bullet/looks builder used throughout. I am not sure if that is the issue at one point ONE of the messages I got when it crashed (I got a few different ones at different times) was something about looksbuilder not working right.
    In a nutshell, it slowly starts to open and then quits. (It gets to about 33 percent open over the course of 45 minutes and then crashes.)
    The file is about half a gig and there is plenty of room on the MAC itself so it shouldn't be that the Mac is overtaxed.
    I don't know what to do.
    I tried opening various back-up copies, etc. because I thought maybe something was just corrupted. NONE of them open.
    I tried deleting render files to limit how much it was trying to process when it opened the thing.
    I even tried turning off the external drives that hold the media hoping that if it couldn't find the media it would just open the shell of a file for me and maybe I could reconnect it all later. Obviously, grasping at straws...
    I am out of options. Do I just need to wipe my computer and reinstall 5.1 from scratch? That would stink because there is another project being worked on on the computer that is a FCP 7 file.
    I tried putting a copy of FCP 5.1 back on the computer (so I have 7 and 5.1 on there now) to get it to open, but FCP 5.1 won't work either now (I get General Error 41 - whatever that means) Maybe you can't have two versions of FCP on the computer? Maybe it thinks it got opened in 7 so now it won't work in 5? even though it never fully opened? Guessing...
    I'd appreciate any and all help. All I want to do is open the 5.1 file and save it in FCP 7 and work from there.
    Thanks!
    Shari

    Hey Michael:
    Thanks for the response. I did something similar in that I opened the file on another computer that had FCP 7 and it was fine. So I saved that. Then I went to my Mac and tried to open that file and it crashed...but it said something about Looksbuilder...so I contacted them and they had me uninstall, reinstall and then fix the preference files for Looksbuilder and it now opens.
    YAY!
    Thanks again,
    Shari
