How do you change default program?

I have photoshop on an external drive which is fine... But it is listed as the default program to open jpeg files, and I am often not connected to the external, when I'm on the go.
How do I change the default program back to Preview?

Yes it does list Preview as default, when the ext is not connected, but once the external is connected Photoshop takes over. I unfortunately can't do anything more about this at the moment as the External decided to stop working.
I've already posted this error on the Western Digital website, but maybe I can get feedback her as well... My 500Gb WD My Book, worked fine for months now, yesterday I started it up and it would not access it, when i went into drive utility it is not listed as a 2 Tb WD Esternal. **** it grew!?! Same thing when connected to a PC, connection established, but you cant see the drive in Explorer. Weird...?

  • How can you change default persmissions saving files

    When I save a file it has the permissions RW RW R.  There is another 10.5.8 non-intel Mac Pro then when they save a file to the destop, it is RW R R.  How do you change the default saving permissions?  I want it always to be RW RW W.

  • How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

    I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
    to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

    Great question, this has been bugging me too!
    So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
    After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
    "Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
    "ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
    But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers.  This is both good news and bad.
    Background:
    One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
    just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
       Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
    Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
    Solution:
    This blog appears to have the answer:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
    New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
    was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
    From:
    <Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
    To:
    <Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
    I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
    perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?

  • How do you change default settings for Pdf document viewing?

    Somehow the default setting for all my PDF documents and photos is now ColorSync. How do I change the main default setting, which I think should be Safari?

    The default is Preview, and you change it thus:
    Select a pdf file, rightclick and select 'Get Info', in the pane that opens scroll down to the section marked 'Open With', select Preview and check the box to 'Change All'

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • How do you change the program ALL files of a type open with?

    Hello. I run Parallels Desktop for Mac on this system. Since I upgraded to v3, OS X wants to open my Mac Word/Excel/Etc... files using the MS Office installed in windows XP from PD. I don't always have PD running, and do not want it to start up to use the programs on it. I know, not a Mac problem... But, my question is this:
    Is there a way to change the program that ALL files of a certain type (ex: pdf, doc, txt, etc...) will start? I have tried the OPT+RT CLICK which says to ALWAYS open this file with xxx.... but that only flags that single file. I want every file that I ever open anywhere on my system/network to use the program I specify. This is simple to do in Win XP, and I'm guessing there's a way to do it in OS X.
    Help/information appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Scott

    Well, with the program Onyx, I've found that LaunchServices database is the culprit. To fix this I just pick a type of file I want to change. Right click the file, choose get info, and change the program it opens with, then click the change all button. Done!
    Cool.

  • Using Windows8, how can you change which program to import photos from iphone?

    When I bought a Windows8 PC (Lenovo Yoga) and synched iphone the first time, it defautled to the Photo App on my PC.  I no longer seem to get the pop up window I used to get under Windows7 asking me if it should use the default program to select and import photos.  Now it directly opens the photo app and asks which to import.  I'm sure its there somewhere but I can't find any way to change which tool is used.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    There is only one way

  • CLICK2CALL: HOW DO YOU CHANGE DEFAULT ACCOUNT?

    There are 2 Skype accounts on this laptop - one for free messaging, while the other has credit. When I click on a phone number, I want to be taken to the account with credit - but I'm taken to the other.
    How do I change it?
    Andrew.

    On the iPhone 4s - Settings>Notes> Default account - iCloud does not show up, only On My iPhone.
    The iPhone 4s iCloud setting is the same apple id as the iPhone 5 and the mac book pro.
    Under iCloud settings on the 4s - Notes is turned on. I have turned it off and back on several times.   
    When I check Settings>General>Software Update> 
    The iPhone 4s is up to date with iOS 6.0.1(10A532) 
    The iPhone 5 is up to date with iOS 6.0.2 (10A551).
    Is there a difference between iOS 6.0.1 and iOS 6.0.2 that would affect Notes?
    Under Settings>General>About> Carrier>
    iPhone 4s is Verizon 13.0
    iPhone 5 is Verizon 13.3
    As near as I can tell, that is the only differences between the operating systems of the iPhones.
    I have turned both iPhones off and restarted them.

  • How do you change default note size font

    I accidentally posted this for iWork previous to 08, sorry. I want to change the default font size for all notes in a file. I realize you can change them one slide at a time by using Cmd-+or-, but I don't want to have to do every one separately since I'm just trying to record a narration. Likewise I still have no answer to how one sees presenter notes on the slide while recording a narration! Help!

    Thanks, Sam. Yes, I could easily change the individual slides, too, but there seems to be a rather large hole in the program, if you're promoting this for kiosk use or even just being able to send to possible interested parties without being present and therefore you want to narrate it. AARGH! Is there NO one at Apple who even occasionally looks at it's own forums! And it's not in the Knowledge database either.

  • How do you change default note size

    This must be an old question but search found me nothing. I just want to find a default to change the note size for all slides to something besides the very large one I'm now stuck with. Thanks!

  • How do you change default swatches?

    Where is the default color swatches file located for Photoshop CS6? I'm tired of constantly deleting dozens of useless swatches; I want Photoshop to start with a blank Swatches palette every time.

    Photoshop loads the last used swatches by default when it loads.
    If you want a blank swatch palette, follow instructions here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSb2031e05d0354a70-1a6fe757133ae6e6508-8000 .html and empty out your default swatches, click on Fly-out menu > Save Swatches > Give a name for your 'Blank swatch'. Close Photoshop.
    The next time you open Photoshop, you'll only see the 'Blank Swatch' that you had saved earlier unless you append/ change the swatches in your workflow and quit photoshop with the available swatch panel.
