HT2963 Can't set JPGs to open in Photoshop not Preview- forum suggested this is Permissions issue

I've repeatedly used "Open with" > "Other" > "Adobe Photoshop CS4" > "Always Open With" and it works only with that particular JPG. In a Photoshop forum, someone suggested this is a Permissions issue. Is it? If so, how do I fix it? (I have no UNIX-type experience. This is Mavericks OS X 10.9.2.) Thanks to anyone who can help!

Control (right) - click on the file and select Get Info from the contextual menu:
In the Info window select Photoshop as the app to open it with and click on the Change All button.

  • How can I make my new Mac always open JPGs, TIFFs, etc., in Photoshop not Preview?

    This worked fine on my old Mac (OS X 10.8.5). I selected a JPG & went through these steps:  Open with > Other > Adobe Photoshop CS4 > click on “Always Open With”. After that, double-clicking on any JPG opened it in Photoshop. Same for TIFFs etc. On my new Mac (OS X 10.9.2), this works only for each individual file. I am in & out of Photoshop all day long & really need to be able to open photos by double-clicking on them. Help, please.

    Your problem seems to have nothing really to do with Photoshop but be an OS issue.
    Have you tried repairing permissions yet? (I’m not on Mac OS 10.9, but permission issues seem like a possible culprit.)

    Select (highlight) the file in Finder and then use the Finder File menu Get Info (or Command I) and in the Open With section of the Get Info choose the application you want to open the file. Another method is to right-click the file in Finder.

  • How can i set my calendar start from Monday NOT Sunday like it is now?

    How can i set my calendar start from Monday NOT Sunday like it is now?

    Read this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11501621#11501621
    For example, if you set the Regional format to United Kingdom, the days will be re-ordered but it will have other effects as well which you probably don't want.

  • How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

    How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

    I doubt you need hundreths as you would not even be able to measure that and the printer doesn't hold the paper to those tolerances.
    fruhulda is right. Pages accepts higher measure but rounds it in the measure field.
    If you want absolute accuarcy you need to set your measures to points. Everything else is being recalculated.

  • Can I set up a community limited to certain iPAD users on this discussion site?

    Can I set up a community ---limited to certain iPAD users ---on this discussion site?

    No. Users cannot set up private forums here. If you need a private area, you'll need to find some other web site to host it.

    I just bought my apple tv and it says that it can't set the date and time? How do i fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    A number of users have encountered this problem, for existing users the problem has largely been resolved by restarting the Apple TV. However since you are a new user it would be wise to check that your settings are correct to begin with. Ensure the router allows access over port 123 (TCP) and that you are using the DNS settings provided by the ISP and not your own.

  • How can I set double-click of JPGs to open in Photoshop instead of Camera Raw?

    Like the title of this topic says, how can I set up Bridge so that double-clicking a JPG opens it directly in Photoshop, instead of going through the intermediary Camera Raw dialog box first?
    And yes, I do have my File Type Associations for all JPGs set to open in Photoshop.
    I also have Camera Raw preferences set to NOT "always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw".
    I'm using Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.2 on Intel.

    First double check if you have the options in the prefs indeed unchecked.
    If so restart Bridge holding down option and choose the refresh preferences option, reset the prefs again to your wishes and restart Bridge.

  • Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
    I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
    For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
    Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
    I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
    I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
    I created an Automator action that does two things:
    gets the selected Finder items
    opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
    I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
    I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
    So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

  • How Can I set QT to open ALL files in Full Screen Automatically?

    Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a major option missing in preferences of QT? I know that you can set this option for EACH movie in the Presentation tab in the movie's Properties, but I have 1000's of clips on my computer. I just want EVERY movie to automatically open up in full screen mode. This seems like it should be an obvious universal option for QT rather than handled individually for each file (with the option to over ride it per file if you wish for some reason).
    Plus setting the option per file is not even practical, because in order to save that option in a file that is not .mov file QT wants to convert it to .mov and save copy of the file...

    I am still pretty sure, say 95%, (do not recall perfectly - to many things on my mind... hihi) that the settings in Quicktime in the Preferences DID work before.
    QT Player "Preference" settings only control how the content is displayed in the "Full Screen" mode -- not how it is activated. Pop-up options include:
    1) Half Size,
    2) Actual Size,
    3) Double Size,
    4) Fit to Screen,
    5) Fill Screen,
    6) Panoramic, or
    7) Current Size
    The options are available individually for "widescreen", "standard", or "other" aspect movie formats. The only other method of I can think of using the QT Player to automatically open in the the "Full Screen" presentation mode would be using a QTL file linked to your original source file but it setting the "Full Screen" option is "boring" for you, then creating QTL files would be even more so.

  • Can I set Safari to open a new window when I click on it in the dock?

    is there a way to set my safari to open a new window when i click on it in the dock i surf multiple websites at once and i dont like how i have to right clik and scroll up to pick open a new window. can i set it to just open a new window instead of opening the page that already opened

    yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
    To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.

  • Can I set Finder to open all folders so I can see all files always

    Is there a way to set Finder to open all files when I click on say "Documents" or "Music" or whichever? As it is set I have to click on every plus sign within a folder or folders themselves to see what is inside, and, for example, in Music, it means hundreds of folders where the individual songs reside.
    Thank you.
    Roxy

    Actually, there is a way to do this on a folder by folder basis: for instance, if you have your home folder open and in list view, if you hold down the option key and click on the arrow in front of the Documents folder, it will open, and every single sub-folder and sub-sub-folder will also open. This produces a pretty unwieldy window, and I can never remember the key combo to get them to all close up again (I'm sure there is one.....), but it does work.
    Francine
    PS--It seems simply clicking the arrow to close the Docs folder does sort it out so a normal click produces a non-opened state of the sub-folders.

  • For sites where Firefox remembers the password, can I set it to open the site automatically, without requiring me to click/confirm/submit etc?

    I have bookmarked several sites which require a password. Firefox remembers the password ok. When I click on the bookmark, a page comes up with the password request, already filled in, and I have to click again to open the page I'm after.
    Can I set it so that the page opens automatically, without having to click on the 'submit' button?

    You could try the Secure Login add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4429/
    The add-on provides enhancements to the login process, if you have used Opera it is similar to the Opera Wand function.
    One feature of the add-on is to provide direct login to any site from the bookmarks by using the "Secure Login Bookmarks" option.
