How do i change file associations

I installed a beta version of photoshop CS6, but have now removed it. Whenever I try to open a .jpg file, it still tries to open it in CS6. I have been down the "Get Info" route and tried to use the 'Change all' method, but the files still revert to CS6. Any ideas??

I cannot speak for .htm files, but I had a similar problem with PDFs (having installed 2 viewers). I went into the native BB file manager and highlighted a PDF file and hit the Blackberry button - to the left of my touchpad - and there was an option for 'OPEN WITH >' Choosing the application there seemed to change my default. YMMV. (I have a OS 6 Bold 9650 on Verizon, )

  • How can I change file association

    How can I make .mp*g files open using the Windows Media Player Plugin as opposed to the QuickTime Plugin as used by .wmv files?
    Both are installed.
    I've tried Tools | Options | Applications, but WMP Plugin is not available as an option against .mp*g files and I can't find the plugin in to browse to it to make the change.

    I tried that before posting, but WMP Plugin is not listed as an alternative option for .mp*g files, and when I try 'Use other' WMP Plugin is not listed.
    WMP is listed but my undestanding is that this would cause the file to launch and play in WMP, whereas I want it to play in FireFox in the WMP Plugin.
    So where do I 'Browse' to to make the change?

  • How do i set file associations?

    How do I set  my ipad to pull up all apps that will open .jpeg files? In other words, how do i set file associations?

    As King Penguin has stated it is done automatically and you cannot change the associations on your own either at this point. It is one of those features that would be nice to have, so if you like - ask Apple to add the feature via ....

  • How to add new file associations/

    How do I fix this below?
    - Safari refuses to open csv files in excel -- instead when I click on a csv file from a website, it gives me a bunch of text. And when I try to save it to my desktop, it appends ".txt" to the end of the file name.

    Hi,
    Here are two methods for you.
    1. CSV file is 'comma separated values' in text file and so by default it will be saved as a .txt file. However while saving it onto the desktop you can choose .xls format in the drop down that specifies the format. Then try to open the file in Excel.
    2. Right click on one of the text files stored and open it with the Excel. Then right click on the file name and go to 'Get Info'. From the get info window, change the file extension and under the open with drop down select Excel.
    If these two options are not working then probably the file cannot be imported to Excel or Excel is not installed.
    Hope this helps you........... Regards

  • Can I mass-change file associations?

    On a Win7 I installed CS4 and CC. However, Bridge CC (although installed last) has *all* files associated with CS4. Which of course makes my life very difficult right now. Is there a way to massively change file associations in Bridge CC? I've done it many many times one-by-one in the past, and I really don't want to do it again.
    Thanks

    Yes, if you want to mess with registry.  Try this solution for CS6, but use CS4.  Will be slightly differenct as CS4 was 32 bit program.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\op en\command
    This key was set to the path for Photoshop CS6 when it should have been set to Photoshop CC.
    In other words, in my case, it was set to:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
    When I changed the CS6 to a CC, in other words, so the whole key reads:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"

  • How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

    how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

    Hi
    Part of it - in my way of doing is
    Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
    • Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
    or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
    I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.

  • Do I have to change file associations in Windows 7 one at a time?

    I changed my ancient Paint Shop Pro for Elements 11 but the file associations are still PSP. I can change them one at a time but that will take forever! Is there a way to associate all the appropriate files in one go?  I managed it many years ago in PSP and Windows XP but have no idea how; I'm hoping someone will know. Thank you.

    ok.
    You can add to this menu.

  • How to create new file association

    Hello,
    I have a program that uses the .pez file extension.
    Now I want to change the association so that it is opened with my desired program.
    Therefore I tried:
    xdg-mime default prezi-desktop.desktop application/pez
    However, this does not work. The .pez file is still opened with Fileroller on Gnome 3.
    How do I associate new file types with an application? The program prezi-desktop is not visible in the "Open with" menu. Hence, I cannot change the file association with Gnome.
    Regards,
    Robert

    Hi there, I refered to this wiki page: Default Applications
    Scroll down and you'll see an section titled "Gnome 3".
    Basically you can try running
    gconf-editor
    and tinkering with settings there.
    Or the more lower-level solution is to dig into either if these files
    /usr/share/applications/defaults.list (global)
    ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list (per user, overrides global)
    Hope this helps!

  • Change file association

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to globally change the file association of a file type.
    I work with Adobe Flash which uses actionscript (.as) files (text files). I've recently started using Eclipse which is a Java IDE and an actionscript plugin (FDT).
    For some reasons it's saving out my .as files as something different. They still work within Flash but not with Apple's quicklook...
    In the terminal I've noticed that 'file' returns 'Java program text'.
    eg.
    $ file Main.as
    Main.as: UTF-8 Unicode Java program text, with CR line terminators
    This is the same within all user accounts on my machine... however on another another Macbook it returns,
    UTF-8 Unicode English text, with CR line terminators
    Any idea how I can convert all my .as files to 'English text' so that they work with Quicklook.
    TIA

    Sorry I misunderstood your question earlier.
    I did a little research into how QuickLook works. Different file types are handled by "qlgenerator" files (which are actually packages). You can install new ones in /System/Library/QuickLook or /System/QuickLook. The default ones live in /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickLook.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Generators .
    Each qlgenerator contains an info.plist file that appears to define which file types it handles in the CFBundleDocumentTypes property. I'm not sure what format they're in, though, because they look like "com.apple.rtfd" and "com.microsoft.word.doc".
    Text.qlgenerator is the one that handles text files and others that TextEdit can view (such as rtf and doc). I bet you could make a copy of it into System/Library/QuickLook and edit its info.plist file to handle your file type(s).

  • How to batch change file permissions?

    I posted this problem in another forum and think it belong here.
    A client sent me a CD of data and graphical files. I copied them into a new folder on my desktop but I am unable to alter or change them because they are read only.
    How can I change all the files in the directory over to read/write? Is there an easy way to do this?
    John

    BatChmod is a good GUI application for changing permissions.
    Or you can try this in a Terminal window:
    chmod -R u+rwX [spacebar, drag folder to Terminal window, press return]

  • Where does the "Submit Form" button get created and how can I change the associated email address?

    I've created a pdf form using Adobe Live Cycle ES 8.2 and it has been working fine.  Now I need to change the email address it gets sent to when the user clicks on the "Submit Form" button.
    How can I change this email address?
    Thank you in advance

    Yes, that is correct.
    I did not manually add this button, so I am assuming it was somehow automatically created.
    It worked great up until now that I need to change the "To:" email address.
    I've look through the XML code associated this this email address and changed it every where I could find it, but it still hasn't changed my results.  So, I have no idea how to change this and as stated above, if I create a new form it automatically sets it up to be sent to the wrong email address.  Not sure why or how to change it?
    Let me know if you need further info to help me out.
    Thanks again

  • How to "divorce" linked file associations (e.g. .rar and .cbr)?

    Mac OS X links some file associations together as if the extensions were synonymous.  This is obviously desirable in some cases, e.g. .jpg and .jpeg. But it is equally obviously undesirable in others, e.g. .zip and .cbz, and .rar and .cbr; treating them the same just because the underlying compression algorithy is the same is absurd (by that reasoning, .jar would be considered synonymous with .zip!)  These obviously need to be opened in different apps, but the OS won't permit this (other than by drag-and-drop or "Open with...").
    I need a way to change what extensions the OS thinks are equivalent.  Any ideas?  I searched MacUpdate for "association" but didn't find anything relevant, so it looks like there's no app tailored to this purpose.

    Yes, of course.  If you change one, it changes the other.  I repeat, the OS itself is treating .rar and .cbr as synonymous, like .jpg and .jpeg.
    UPDATE: It seems that the OS does not do this with .cbz to the extent that it does with .cbr.  By default, it treats .cbz as if it were .zip, but if you use Get Info -> Change all on .cbz, you can in fact set it to a different app.  This is not the case with .cbr; if you change .cbr it changes .rar, and vice versa.  This stuff has to be in a plist somewhere.

  • How to remove automatic file associations in Dreamweaver CS5?

    When installing Dreamweaver, I chose to associate a broad array of file extensions with the program.  I would like selectively remove some of these automatic file associations (e.g. .php).  I have found this question posted several times, but never answered.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, John.  The link you provided would help to change the automatic file association in Windows 7.  I should have been more specific that my ultimate goal was to have .php files not automatically associated with any program (so that I could modify the file extensions of some .php files).  I don't believe this could be achieved by changing the automatic association via the operating system (because you must select another program to automatically associate with a given file type).  However, my particular problem is resolved because I discovered that I could just deselect "hide extensions for known file types" in the "view" tab of "folder and search options".  This way I could change the .php extensions even though they were still automatically associated with dreamweaver.  Although this may be an obvious solution to many, I thought I would share it here in case anyone else finds themself stuck in the same way.

  • 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.

  • Can't change file associations

    I can't seem to change the file associations for quicktime. The checkboxes are greyed out so I can't deselect them.
    I have tried un-installing and re-installing both quicktime itself and itunes but am not asked which files to associate during installation of either. I have also tried un-installing and running the windows cleanup utility but it doesn't show any quicktime entry and when I re-install the file types are still greyed out.
    Anyone got any ideas.

    This could be caused by damaged QuickTime preference files (or possibly a permissions problem on the preferences files).
    We can try rebuilding one set of your preference files to see if that helps with the greyed-out stuff.
    First, quit QuickTime if you have it open.
    Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    5. Click OK.
    Next, you'll remove the QuickTime preference folder (and contained file).
    6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
    7. Open the Users folder.
    8. Open the folder with the name of the Windows 7 user account in which the QuickTime file types are "greyed out".
    9. Open the AppData folder.
    10. Open the Local folder.
    11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
    12. Drag the QuickTime folder out onto the Desktop.
    Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
    13. Launch QuickTime. Check your file types again.
    Are they still greyed out, or can you change them now?
