How do you make LIGHTROOM 5 default instead of old version 3?

I've heard of this, but never experienced it. For the post part, Lr opens catalogs not photos - dunno if being registered to open photos was a little mistake or on purpose..
One thing I do know, there was a time when opening a photo with Lightroom would sometimes result in the inability to open Lightroom ever again (without some "hacking"), because it tried to open the photo as a catalog, which made it very confused and unhappy.
My guess is: Adobe no longer supports opening photos with Lightroom (and so Lightroom 5 did not register itself to do that when installed, and so you have an old and now obsolete association), even if at one point it did - but I could be wrong.
Sorry I can't be more help - maybe somebody else will be able to offer more insight and/or a solution.
UPDATE: One thing that might help (if you can't get Lr to open photos how you want) - open catalog instead, then drag those photos into Lr library grid.
Good luck,
Rob

How to make Lightroom the default photo program

I don't seem to be able to push Aperture to one side. Nor will lightroom come up for selection when changing the screen display.

Many thanks.
What hasn't changed is screen display options IE
When going to Personal Preferences > Personal>Desktop/Screensaver> I get
iPhoto and Aperture to choose from plus what appears to be an edited version
of Pictures but no sign of Lightroom.
Any thoughts.

I just upgraded from Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

What specific settings are you alluding to? More details please.

Simply put, I do not like like the new color coding "dots" and I do not like having to press the Command key before double clicking to open files in a new window. How hard would have been to include the old version of these two features?

How to make it a default for all received messages to not preview the attachment but instead show the icon? (mac mail.app)

Hi
I am having trouble with large incoming mail attachments.
When I receive a large attachment (pDf) the useful mail preview feature attempts to show a preview of the attachment. Unfortunately this is causing a lot of trouble as some PDFs are extremely large and therefore take time to open/preview. If I right click the attachment and select view as icon, the problem with that specific message ceases as the attachment is no longer previewed.
How can I make it the default for all attachments in received messages to only be shown as a icon and not previewed?

In Terminal,
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool Yes

How do I make Preview the default instead of Adobe Reader?

When Adobe Reader is installed it makes itself the default and then doesn't provide you anyway to change it that I know of. I tried uninstalling Adobe Reader but then realized that that is the only way to view PDFs from a web browser and therefore had to reinstall it.

Find a PDF on your computer...
Right click it and choose "Get Info".
Under the "Open with:" section, choose Preview.
Then click the button below that says "Change All..."
Now all your PDFs will open with Preview.
