LR didn't ID CS5 as the main external editor after install

I've got LR 3.x (whatever the latest is) and I just updated to CS5. I'm on Vista home addition. I have searched for this an know that it is a problem with the install, the Registry was not updated correctly so LR still sees CS4. The options are to edit the Registry or to re-install CS5. I've got the download version which has the downloaded fiiles and the Set-Up program. My question is how best to uninstall CS5 and reinstall. I don't think I'll need to download again but is this true? SHould I use the windows uninstaller? Any tips on the install that will prevent this? Thanks.

Thanks, when you say deactivate - do you just mean close out of it so its not running? Do you know if I'll be able to just reinstall using the SetUp program that was downloaded with CS5? Thanks again.

  • How do I change the main external editor from PS CC to PS 6?

    I put a trial version of PS CC on my computer and Lightroom 4 has changed the main external editor to the CC trial version. I don't want this to happen and I don't want PS6 to be an "Additional External Editor." I want the main editor to be PS6 at all times but I cannot seem to change this.
    Is this possible or is the only solution to get rid of the trial version of PS CC? If I trash the trial version of PS will Lightroom 4 automatically "find" PS6 again.
    Thanks

    Thanks Gener7, but that did not work.
    I also tried opening Bridge’s Preferences> File Type Associations and clicking the Reset to Default Applications button.  Then see Photoshop CC 2014 listed next to all basic image formats.  but did not work
    Also tried this: but did not work
    --Open Bridge. 
    --Use the Keywords panel menu command Export to save your keywords (not in the Bridge or Photoshop folders or their support folders).
    --Quit Bridge.
    --Hold down the Command-Option-Shift keys.
    --Launch Bridge.
    --When the small dialog box appears, release the three modifier keys and elect to replace the Preferences and purge the cache.

  • I just installed Photoshop and want to use it as the external editor.  I also have PS Elements on the computer and the only external editor I can get iPhoto to recognize is PSE.  Any help in changing the external editor to PS would be appreciated!

    Welcome. I am using Photoshop CS5 and this works fine for me. Possibly Adobe has changed this in CS6. Hopefully, LarryHN will have further suggestions. Best.

  • Setting the Primary External Editor in LR4

    How can I set the primary External Editor in LR4?  I recently  upgraded to CS5.5, then uninstalled CS5 and now Lightroom thinks it should use CS4 which is not longer installed.  I've unstalled and reinstalled LR4 and nothing changed.  I deleted the preferences file and nothing changed.
    Why isn't there an easy way to change this setting?
    David

    Winner, Winner, chicken dinner!
    Thanks so much trshaner.  A modified Solution 2 from the link you provided below fixed it  i.e. The Photoshop.exe Key was already there, so I just changed it to point to the CS5.5 path.  woala!

  • How do I set up Premiere Elements 13 as the custom external editor for Lightroom 5?

    Situation
    I own Lightroom 5.6 and I'm experienced. I've just bought Premiere Elements 13 and I'm a video-editing virgin (be gentle with me). I've spent a day experimenting, reading, watching videos and I'm still stuck (I've tried reasonably hard to solve my own problem).
    Problem
    I've tried to set up the custom external editor in Lightroom 5 to send photos to Premiere Elements, so that I can incorporate images into movies. Having set it up, when I use it by selecting Photo/Edit In/Premiere Elements 13/, there is an exciting lull as a copy of the image is created and appears in LR, then Premiere Elements launches, then what??? There is no clue as to what has happened to the image regarding its import into Premiere Elements 13. It doesn't appear on the screen, it doesn't appear in the Organizer, it's no-where to be seen, other than in LR!
    Resolution sought:
    Can anyone tell me
    1. Is it possible to use Premiere Elements as an external editor in LR5 ?
    2. What are the precise settings should be for each field?
    3. If I configure it correctly, what does good look like: what should I expect to see happen in Premiere Elements?
    I don't know if this is relevant: MacBook Pro 16GB 2.8Ghz i7, 750GB SSD (i.e. plenty of space, plenty of horsepower), OS X 10.9.5
    I also don't know if I this is the right place for my question (Adobe directed me here) so please don't shout at me if I've come to the wrong place (I expect if I get no joy here, when I post it to an LR forum, they'll shout at me too :-)
    Thanks

    I do not have Lightroom 5 or other version of it. I did do some work on an earlier version tryout of it.
    And, I believe now as then, that the answer to your question is No. Bottom line, if there is integration
    to be found between Lightroom, it is between Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer, not the Premiere Elements Editor.
    The following is the extent of my travels through Lightroom with focus the Slideshow Module.

  • Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

    We're sorry.

    You don't have to buy an Apple keyboard, but you probably need at least to buy a keyboard that connects via proper USB instead of through some Windoze-world adapter, which probably requires a driver that's not available for the Mac OS.
    The Apple Bluetooth KB and Magic Trackpad make a fabulous combination for use with any MacBook Pro that spends a lot of time in clamshell mode, because the trackpad works exactly like the built-in trackpad. So there's no transition adjustment to make when you pack up your MBP and go portable with it.

    What is going on the my battery life, after installing Mavericks, what a drain!!!

    You can try resetting the SMC and NVRAM.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    You can also try running the short and/or extended Apple hardware test by holding D button while booting up and then following the instructions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    If that doesn't work (seems not extremely likely that it will) you can backup and try reinstalling a fresh OS.
    If that still doesn't work maybe the battery is bad.  If you don't feel like messing with all that just take it to Apple.  They should have a test they can perform.

  • The Sims 2 crashes after installing Nightlife or Pets Expansion Packs

    I'm at the end of my rope, so I thought I would see if anybody out there can help me. I'm posting this on a few boards.
    I've been a huge fan of the Sims ever since the first game was released. I got my first Mac a year ago, and The Sims 2 for it for Christmas. I put off purchasing any expansion packs - I had enough fun with the base game and downloaded custom content that I did not feel justified in spending the money. Then they made Pets, and I was sorely tempted. After playing with that expansion on my sister's new Windows Vista laptop, I decided that I would get it for my Mac for my birthday in July.
    After I installed the expansion pack, my game would crash during the blue startup screen. I removed custom content, reinstalled the game, and tried everything else the Aspyr tech support could think of - including sending my disc back for a replacement copy.
    I've included all of our correspondence below. Maybe someone out there has had a similar problem, or can think of what could be causing this issue.
    Today I tried installing the Nightlife expansion pack, and was met with the EXACT same issue. Obviously there is something wrong with my Mac or the base game, or some bit of software or code on my system is screwing things up. . .
    I'd really hate to sell the expansions online and then fork over the money for a copy of Windows and the PC version of Pets (I already own the base game). I'd hate to devolve back into a Windows user =+\
    7/31 I sent a message to Aspyr Support through their website:
    I just installed the Pets expansion on top of the Sims 2 base game. Now it crashes before the start-up screen has finished loading. I tried removing the downloads folder and the neighborhoods folder, in case something in there was not compatible. The game still crashes.

    Greetings,
    I'd recommend downloading the latest version of Quicktime from apple.com as well as our Pets patch via support.aspyr.com and see if that solves the issue. If not:
    This error can occur for a number of reasons; Multiple installations of the game, unnecessary patching of the game, moving game files around after installing, installing the game to your desktop, or corruption of game files. Unfortunately a clean install is the only way to resolve this issue.
    I recommend the following troubleshooting steps. Try running the Repair Disk Permissions function of the Disk Utility located in Applications/Utilities. Also, avoid installing the game to Applications or the Desktop; there are permissions conflicts that can arise when games are installed here. Games work best when they are installed in a separate games folder on the top/root level of your hard drive.
    Reinstalling gets rid of any game data that may have become corrupt. Be sure to trash the game's preferences file(s) (com.aspyr."Sims2".plist) located in the Home/Library/Preferences folder. Common game file locations are Home/Library/Preferences and Home/Library/Application Support and Home/Documents when you do so. Then just trash the current copy of the game and install a new copy to the new games folder at the root of your hard drive. I'd also recommend doing a Spotlight search of your computer to make sure you've removed the game files / folders before reinstalling.
    You can usually find specific removal instructions via the readme file located in the main game folder to use as a guideline for installing the game.
    (From the Sims2 readme file)
    To uninstall The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Body Shop, drag the following to the trash:
    "The Sims 2" folder which contains the game and The Sims 2 Body Shop applications
    "home folder\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2" folder
    "home folder\Library\Preferences\com.aspyr.TheSims2.plist" file
    "home folder\Library\Preferences\com.aspyr.TheSims2BodyShop.plist" file
    "home folder\Library\Preferences\com.aspyr.TheSims2PackageInstaller.plist" file
    If you have Sims 2 expansions you should run the game once by launching it from the hard drive before installing any expansions. This will create a new set of preference files and allow the installers for the expansions to properly install the software.
    I hope this helps.
    8/1
    Thank you for your quick response. Sadly, the game still does not work. I tried all of your advice, then decided to make sure I had done everything I could possibly think of.
    First, I moved my saved games (and downloads, user data, etc) to a folder on the desktop, so I could retrieve them later.
    I ran the Repair Disk Permissions function.
    I had the latest version of Quicktime, but I reinstalled it anyway. I also downloaded all available system updates.
    I erased all of my remaining Sims data, including the preference files.
    I rebooted. (not sure if this does much, but I know my old PCs worked better with reboots)
    I installed the Sims 2 in a newly-created Games folder on the HD. I also installed the patch for the base game.
    I played the game; it functioned properly.
    I rebooted again and installed the Pets expansion and the patch.
    It is behaving the same way as before - the game quits unexpectedly when the startup screen gets to "calibrating canine customization."
    Oh, and I did not moved my saved data back into the game folders - I tried running it clean, first.
    Is there anything else I can try? Or do I just give up and sell my expansion pack on eBay?

    Hello again,
    I greatly appreciate how quickly you responded once more, but frustratingly the game is still not working. I burned my saved game info to a DVD so that I could erase every single Sim-related file on my system. I followed steps 1-16 exactly , then skipped to 29. But once I launched the game with Pets, the exact same problem occurred - it (un)expectedly closed when the startup screen got to "Calibrating Canine Customization."
    I don't know what could possibly be going wrong, and it's very disappointing. Please let me know if there is anything else I should try.
    8/3
    Hello,
    I am sorry you are still having problems with The Sims 2. In most cases checking to make sure you have all the latest Apple updates and a fresh install will fix this problem.
    Here are a few things to check for:
    1. Make sure the game is installed on the boot volume, the main hard drive.
    2. Don't put the game in your Applications folder. There are permissions conflicts that can arise when games are installed here. Install the game to the root level of your drive instead.
    3. Run the permissions repair. To do this, launch the Disk Utility located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. The second tab will allow you to repair permissions.
    4. Remove the game completely (search for all game files) and run the install again, and choose the Macintosh HD as the destination for the install. When you launch the game, leave all in-game graphics settings at the defaults. Then reinstall the patch.
    Here's something else you can try. Uninstall the game again, move ALL files related to game to the trash and empty it. Do a search on your entire computer to make sure that you got everything. Disconnect any peripherals from your computer except for the keyboard and mouse, create a New User account, reboot the computer and log into the new user account. Then reinstall the game. Choose your Macintosh HD as the destination to install to, and after initially launching the game, leave all in-game graphics/resolution settings at the defaults.
    Have a nice day,
    Aspyr Tech Support

    Sorry, it's me again.
    I've done everything you suggested in this and the other e-mails, to no avail.
    -my system is fully updated.
    -ALL Sims 2 files trashed and emptied.
    -Permissions repair run.
    -peripherals unplugged.
    -New user created.
    -Rebooted and logged in as new user.
    -Installed directly to HD.
    -Launched + closed game.
    -Installed Pets Exp.
    -Launched - failed. It crashed at the very same point during startup.
    -downloaded and installed patch; still failed.
    I'm ready to restore my base game saved files from their DVD and sell the expansion pack on eBay.
    8/3
    There is one last thing to try and that is to assume there is something wrong with the Pets DVD. We offer a disc replacement service for $10 or, if you have purchased the disc in the last 90 days, it is free.
    8/16/07
    I received my replacement disc today, and quickly installed it after backing up my files. The game still crashes at the same point during startup. Is it time to give up?
    8/16/07
    Hello,
    I am very sorry the Pets expansion has not worked for you. I have never run into a situation where nothing will fix the problem. In all cases with the Sims 2 or expansions a disc replacement fixes the problem. I would guess that there is some obscure Apple issue causing the Pets to crash.
    Have a nice day,
    Aspyr Tech Support
