Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats

Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Illustrator, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Illustrator was the last CS5 application i noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
So on to the issue....
I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such.
However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks for you help.

Yes, I think i mentioned it before that I knew I could set the default app through Explorer (right clicking, going to "open with" etc..) but this doesn't let you use any of the custom icons that come with the adobe applications, it sets it as the default icon associated witht he particular application. I'll take a look in the properties when I get home but, but I think you may be referring to the "open with" dialogue.
Most applications like Firefox, iTunes etc.. have a button in there preferences menu to "set as default" for all file types they can open, however I don't see such an option in any Adobe applications except for bridge, and that doesn't seem to do anything.

I believe in the properties pane for one of those files it will display the default app for opening such files and you can  change it there as well and make it apply to all similar files.

  • "Material is not the same for confirmation and delivery"

    Hello
    If this is not the right forum, my apologies. Direct me to the correct one if it is not ....
    Have been doing automated test development (HP's QTP) against SAP systems for over a year. I am not an application expert - very much a newbie when it comes to application knowledge but trying to gain some. I have "googled" the phase "Material is not the same for confirmation and delivery" and have not been able to find any references. What does this mean?
    I see this message for an iDoc using WE02. Have looked and looked but don't really know what I'm looking for.
    Clues?
    Thanks,
    DW

    DW,
    I have never seen that exact message, but I have seen similar ones.  Generically, the message probably means that you are attempting to perform a transaction against a document (perhaps a Purchase order?) and the Material number (Part Number) contained in the transaction is not the same as the Material number in the originating document in SAP.
    An example might be you have previously created a confirmation against a Purchase order, which now exists in SAP.  This Confirmation is for a specific Purchase order, item, and material.  Now, when you attempt to create an inbound delivery for the Confirmation, the material number contained in the new IDOC is different from the material number that was contained in the original Confirmation.
    I don't know what IDOC Message type you are having the problem with, but generically you can do some troubleshooting. Find the SAP Material number in the IDOC (MATNR probably).  Find the appropriate reference document number in the IDOC (confirmation number?  Purchase order number? or...?), and then manually review the document in SAP to ensure that the Material numbers are the same.
    If you are totally lost, you should really consult with an SAP App expert.  I am guessing that this is part of the Materials Management module, so you would be asking for an MM expert.
    Or, you can send more details, and we can try to help.
    What is the IDOC message type?
    What is the Message number of the error message?  Functionally, what is this IDOC trying to do, from a business perspective?

  • Setting Photoshop CS5 as the default for opening all photo files?

    How do I make Photoshop CS5 the default for opening all photo files?

    Close the jpeg in Photoshop! This procedure is done on an unopened (closed) file in the finder, Photoshop is not involved.
    Open a FINDER window, click ONCE to select your file (NOT double click to open it)
    Command I or in the Finder, File menu, select Get Info.
    In the GET INFO window, change the Open With item to Photoshop
    Click the CHANGE ALL button, You will get the warning "This change will apply to all Adobe Photoshop CS5.app documents with extension “.jpg”.
    Click CONTINUE and from now on all jpegs double clicked in the finder will automatically open in Photoshop

  • Re: CS5 not saving preview for EPS files

    Has this problem been fixed yet? I just read the original forum that started 18 months ago. Is it that big a problem to put back what workred in CS4 to CS5, I'm getting fed up of re-saving thousends of CS5 EPS files in CS4 to get over this problem.

    Why did you post this in the forum for Acrobat Forms?

  • The End Of The Road For FCE And Other DV Editing Programs?

    I am just curious about how long the average amateur will be able to continue using FCE etc. The reason for my pessimism?
    Mini- DV cameras do seem to be on their way out.
    A popular UK "catalogue" chain-store called Argos is currently selling around 30 camcorders. Only 5 of them are mini-DV !
    The same trend is also obvious in the "serious" camera shops. DVD and HDD sales are rocketing amongst the general public who have little or no desire to edit.
    The day will come - probably extremely soon - when no amateur DV cameras are made, and any professional ones will cost the earth, along with their tapes.
    OK, we will still be able to use our existing equipment until it goes to that happy-camcorder-hunting-ground in the sky, but tapes will probably be sold at a premium.
    If this scenario were ten or twenty years away, I wouldn't mind, but I fear it will be the case by the end of this decade.
    Our only hope is that DVD, HDD and Flash Memory camcorders have been improved so that their video can be edited as easily and to as high a standard as DV can today.
    At present I can't see any sign of this happening.
    Have a nice day!
    Ian.

    One of the major issues with HDD and card based formats is workflow. A good way has to be found to archive the material you shoot. You're shooting a once a lifetime event if you're an amateur, or you're shooting something professionally that has perhaps been staged at great expense. Your card is full or your drive is filling up. You have to offload this material into a secure format which can be stored and from which it can be retrieved. Professionally this means you have to do it on location . The card media doesn't hold very much; cameras with drives built-in are not really practical as you don't want to be in a situation where you have to take the camera out of service, stop shooting while the material is downloaded. This also means the material has to be backed up onto a hard drive and stored on the hard drive. Hard drives have a high propensity for failure over time. For production media and important personal media that means you're going to have to have archival redundancy. You can burn your media to disk or DAT tape or put it on multiple drives. All of this takes time and expense. The workflow issues for memory-based formats still need to be resolved, and the camera manufacturers, just have they have done nothing to facilitate post production with their choices of compression formats, have done nothing to create viable workflows for non-tape based system.
    Most of my professional work is done in FCP. We shoot in HDV, recording on tape and simul-recording onto a DTE. The DTE material, QuickTime clips, is dumped to a separate hard drive for editing, and the second drive is shelved as it fills and projects are completed. The tape is kept as a redundant second source. I've rarely had to access the tape. Only when there has been an operator error. The problem with card-based and HDD based formats is that for safety's sake a second archive, the redundant backup, needs to be created before the camera card can be erased and put back in service. That either needs having a lot of camera cards available (which are still really expensive), or having someone on location with an edit system processing and backing up your material to re-cycle the cards.

  • PS CS5 not saving preview for EPS files

    I'm running a trial version of CS5 Design Premium on a brand new Core i5 iMac with 8GB RAM and running SL 10.6.3. So far, I haven't noticed any major glitches, except for the following:
    When I save an image as EPS, I usually choose the standard Mac 8 bit preview. This way, when bringing it into Quark, I can see the image. On my previous iMac, in CS3 and Leopard 10.5.8, this worked fine when importing into Quark 7.5.
    Now, however, when importing into Quark 8.1.6, the EPS does NOT show a preview. It even indicates that no preview is included in the "Import Picture" window before bringing it in, even though I can see the "preview" in the little preview window. All I get in Quark is a gray box with the filename written inside. This is a bit bizarre!
    Then I thought, maybe it's a Quark issue. I tried importing the same EPS file into my old iMac using Quark 7.5 and it does the same thing - no preview.
    What's even more strange is that I took an old EPS which HAS a viewable preview, and resaved it (after a resize), and changed no other settings. The preview no longer shows up in Quark. Boom! Gone! Brand new files behave the same way.
    Another thing I tried: I saved it using a TIFF preview. That seemed to work, although the preview looked very low-quality. That might work in a pinch, but it doesn't solve the problem of why my EPS files are not saving previews even though they are supposed to be included with the basic Mac Preview options.
    Resaving the EPS as TIF also works fine, but again, doesn't solve the problem.
    Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    Why do you keep bringing up PICT previews? We have made it clear that we aren't using the standard Macintosh preview. The problem persists when using the Macintosh (JPEG) preview.
    Or are you implying that the JPEG preview is actually a PICT preview?
    And TIFF and JPEG previews have always differed in how the appear on screen. If they didn't there wouldn't really be any reason for having both, would there? And since they look different in Illustrator and InDesign, can you wander down the hall and ask the guys working on those Adobe products why their code is displaying your code differently than you want it to?
    I have no problem with PICT being dead. I'm sure no one else on the forum does either. Your software is the one using it. What I am asking is that you help us with a REAL solution rather than debating it with us. We all have plenty of experience in what we do. I've been using Photoshop since version 1, and I'm sure many of the others weighing in here have too. We know what has worked in your product in the past, and we know what we need it to continue to do for us now and in the future. If Adobe is going to give us forums to spotlight issues, then Adobe should also listen and act. Eight months of debating the existence of PICT files is a waste of everyone's time. Please just fix the code so that when I choose a JPEG preview I get a JPEG preview that shows up in Illustrator, InDesign, or whatever. If a normal JPEG shows up, then a JPEG preview attached to an EPS file should as well. It's not rocket science. And it's not a PICT. It's a JPEG.
    I appreciate your assistance in helping all of us with this frustrating and production draining issue. If I sound a bit frazzled it is because it is 7:30 PM and I should be at home with my family, but my jacked up previews caused me to use one of the suggested workarounds, which turned a job that should have taken 20 minutes into a 3 hour adventure. Now let's multiply that out over the last 8 months... And multiply that by everyone affected. I'm sure that adds up to a lot more lost time than what would be required to fix the bug and issue an update.

  • Key board viewer for the font tamil 99 is not the same for iPad and macbook pro, why?

    I have ipad 2 and macbook pro purchased in the year 2014.  The character viewer for both iPad and mac book is different causing difficulties while typing.  Is this issue can be resolved?

    If you created your book with iBooks Author, such books can only be read on an iPad or on a Mac running Mavericks or later.
    If you want your book to be available on the iPhone, you have to create it in .epub format.  The Apple app for that is Pages.

  • CalDav hosting in the Internet for iCal and Others

    Hi there
    We'd like to synchronize (read/write) our calendars online. (2-3 Users)
    Systems:
    - OS X 10.5.1 & ICal
    - Linux with iE. Mozilla Calendar
    - Anything with a Browser from the internet
    Needed functionality:
    - Hosted in the internet (not by us) with at least view options in a browser from anywhere.
    - Read and Write Access for multiple users (could be same account)
    What I've done so far:
    - Searched for CalDav Hosting in the Internet. I *did not found* a single plattform with CalDav support. Of course there are lot of iCal (WebDav) servers, even for free, where we could publish our calendars (webdav probably), but no CalDav Servers found!? I think there should be a HUGE demand on such services?!
    - Created a calendar at Google and synchronized it with Spanning Sync to my iCal. This solution is working pretty good (even at 25$ / year), but the taste of using a sync tool, instead of CalDav does not make me "happy".
    Well, that's the best i found so far. But once again, there should be a service provider for CalDav somewhere ?!
    I hope you can help me ...
    Greetings from Switzerland
    Bernhard von Gunten

    why don't you look at these two links:
    http://www.busymac.com
    http://www.spanningsync.com
    i use spanning sync to sync ical on two macs with google calendar. works quite well and i can access/manage my calendars on either my mcas or on the web. busysync from busymac will achieve the same thing.
    hope this helps

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
    If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally.   You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
    Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.
