Making Adobe CMM the Default In WinXP

I'd like to make the Adobe CMM the default color engine for WinXP apps. I have installed it and can see the Adobe CMM in the Windoze Color Control applet, but cannot figure out how to make it the default. I've Googled the net and searched the Micro$oft website to no avail. Can this be done? How?
Thanks much!

Hello Sid,
unfortunately this is not possible.
Theoretically, it is possible to use an alternate CMM as the default CMM
in Windows by editing the Registry for example.
But the alternate CMM must have implemented all functions Microsoft
expects, and the Adobe CMM hasn't. (To be fair, the functions not
implemented are used very rare, and play no role in "everyday" colormanagement
done in apps like Photoshop)

Making Adobe as the default PDf reader

How can I make Adobe as a default pdf reader for windows phone 8?
Where does the Adobe reader store local files in wp8? Can I know its path in windows phone 8?

Maybe starting Acrobat 9 (NOT Distiller 9: this is an extra component
of Acrobat, and not involved in opening PDFs) will help. But overall,
mixing releases and Acrobat/Reader on the same computer isn't
recommended for this sort of reason.

Re: How do I set Adobe as the default over Nuance?

..I am running Adobe Reader XI and Nuance Advanced PDF. I want to designate Adobe as the default and use Nuance whenever I open it. Currently, Nuance opens for everything automatically and blocks Adobe. I know I am overlooking something simple. Thank you for explaining this to me.

Hi perrymason1955 ,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, kindly try the steps mentioned below, hope it helps.
1) Open Adobe Reader>edit Preferences (Windows)
2) Go to>General under categories menu and click on select default PDF handler and choose Adobe Reader, you would see Adobe Reader installation bar going Across and it would be done.
You can CTRL+click on mac>get info>Open with and change it to Adobe Reader.

[AS] Making "keep overrides" the default graphic layer option for all placed graphics?

If I relink thisLink when it is missing, and update link option was set to keep overrides, everything is fine. But if it was set to application settings, I am in a world of hurt, because suddenly all my Unit numbers will show 1-32 piled on top of each other (all layers visible in Photoshop) or the wrong one (just one layer visible in Photoshop) or nothing at all!
The catch-22 is that until I relink missing links, update link option only shows "unknown" as the result. Arrrgh?
set myLinks to every link whose status = missing
repeat with thisLink in myLinks
    get update link option of graphic layer options of parent of thisLink
        -->Returns "unknown" instead of "application settings" or "keep overrides"
    try
        set update link option of graphic layer options of parent of thisLink to "keep overrides"
        relink thisLink to newLinkPath
        update thisLink
    on error
        -->This always errors on the set update link option line
    end try
end repeat
Anyone know a way around this or should I just change my name to Yossarian?
Thanks in advance,
Eric.

Well, I give you points for creativity! Unfortunately, relink is destructive and overwrites any info with the default (which in CS2 is application settings).
What really kills me is that InDesign has some Sooper Seekrit internal list that only the Links palette knows about. So if you *manually* try and relink the document and then revert it, it automatically relinks against all the paths you've tried since launching it and therefore, the second time all the links show as linked and the process is non-destructive, unlike the "relink" command.
Argh.
I will think on it some more though. Thanks for your input!
PS: Adobe apparently broke the ability to relink against a string in CS4 from what I can tell. In spite of the fact that the dictionary specifically lists alias or string or string (yes, says or string twice in the dictionary), only alias really seem to work.
So...
set newLinkFolder to "" & path to home folder & "Pictures:"
set newLinkPath to newLinkFolder & name of thisLink
try
relink thisLink to newLinkPath
on error
display dialog "FAIL!"
end try
try
relink thisLink to newLinkPath as alias
on error
display dialog "No fail. You'll never see this message!"
end try

Making Adobe Reader my default application for viewing PDF files.

Hello,
Can someone help me on this issue. I am trying to put adobe reader as the default pdf application instead of preview. I have tried everything...however when i download a pdf document it only provides me the choice to open with preview.
Thanks,

Control/click (or right click if you're using a two button mouse) on whatever file you're wanting to change the association to. In the menu that comes up select "Get Info" and another box will open. Down towards the bottom you should see Open with: and a drop down that has suggested apps. If it's in the list select it (if not navigate to it) and then once that file is associated with whatever app. right below you'll see Change All... and select it and now all those file types will open with whatever app you've selected.

Making an application the default program to open certain files

Hello,
I have a stupid question that has been bugging me for a long time.
I have installed parallels to use windows and when i used its office excel, it prompted me if I want to open the files with window's excel; which I did. Then now everytime I open an excel file on my mac HD, it starts parallels to launch its excel to open. I tried the option of open with "other" and select my mac's excel but this only applies on the particular file. I uninstalled parallels to avoid this problem and it still tries to locate parallel's excel which no longer exists.
So I have everytime to select the file and use the open with option which is very unpractical.
This applies for any other application so is there an effective way to change the "default" application that opens certain files? There must be a way to do that!!!!
Please help.

Hi Carol,
Do the following:
1. Click once on any Excel file.
2. From the menubar select File->Get Info
3. In the "Open with" section click on the drop down menu and select the Microsoft Excel, ensuring it's the Apple Mac version that's located in your Applications folder. If it's not listed, select "other" and then navigate to the application.
4. Click on the "Change All" button and confirm.
That's it. Everytime you double click on that file type, it will open in the Application of your choice.

Making Quicktime Player the default

After downloading a program SongSurgeon, it has now the default program instead of my Quicktime Player. I thought it would be easy to change the default but after a long search, was unsuccessful. How do I change the default back to the Quicktime Player?

The browser plug-in called would be that that is called in the html page code.
If no page code is used (direct link to the .wav file) then the MIME Settings would be read and the associated plug-in would play the file.
"Special" html code can be used (qtsrc="blah.mp3") that will "force" the QuickTime browser plug-in be used even if the file would normally be associated with a different one.
In order to fully understand your problem we would need a URL to test.

Making buttonMode=true the default

Is there a way to set buttonMode=true to the default across all components in my application? It is so lame to have to enable it manually for every single component.
Just to be clear: I want the cursor to turn into a hand whenever it goes over something that can be clicked. By default, it appears this is not the case. I have to set buttonMode="true" on everything.

I can't think of a way to do that. You could add a handler for Event.ADDED
and set it on all Sprites you care about when they are added to the display
list.

Making Apple Mail the default mail program

thank you in advance for help on this question. When in Address Book, I click on the email address of a contact and it launches Entourage as the default mail application to send the message. I would like to change settings so the Apple Mail is the default mail app for this and all other email tasks. Can you help?

The following comment applies to those who are switching to Mail from another email client.
In Eudora there is also a preference to set Eudora as your default emailer. In other words, not only do you need to change that pref in Mail (to "use Mail as the default emailer"), but you have to go to Eudora and change its pref to say "use [Apple] Mail as the default mailer". Otherwise you get battling email programs and unpredictable results when clicking on mailto links in other programs.
I don't remember if the same applies to Entourage or other mail clients.

Making mac mail the default instead of entourage

How do you make mac mail your default instead of entourage . It is set up in mac mail reader to receive mail under mac mail 2.1. It still defaults to entourage . I cannot find any place in entourage to change it .

Your default mail program is set in Mail->Preferences->General. Choose which program you want from the drop-down menu, then quit Mail and restart it.
Of course, you'd be helping yourself if you deleted Entourage or at least removed all your account information from it, so that if you ever launched it by accident, it would not be able to send or receive email.

Making Adobe 7.0.5 the default for .pdf files

I was advised that the way to get Adobe 7.0.5 to be the default, instead of 5.0, was to delete the Adobe applications & files in my system, library, and user folders, including the 7.0.5 app. itself. Then, after everything relating to Adobe is gone, I should re-install 7.0.5 and it would become the default.
I also heard that Spotlight won't find every Adobe component or extention, so I'd have to do a detailed search and delete each one that way.
Does this sound right?
Can't I just delete the 5.0 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and have everthing associated with 5.0 gone? Isn't that the beauty of having a Mac?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg
You were poorly advised. Deleting Adobe apps is a headache and completely irrelevant when it comes to making an app the default for a file type.
Control-click a .pdf file, choose Get Info. In the Info window click the Open With drop down list, choose the app you want, and then click Change All underneath it.
That should do it. You might find that there is more than one type of .pdf file and you might need to perform this action again at some time, but this should do the job.
And yes, you can just delete the Acrobat Reader 5.0 folder.

Making no row or column labels the default

OK, I've read the many threads about how to turn them off and I do that all the time. But I'm lazy. I want the 'no cell labels' to be my default. How do I do that? There doesn't seem to be any way I can set it from my Epson RX620 so I have to do it either through the Apple preferences or Appleworks preferences and neither seem to offer this option.
All suggestions gratefully accepted. Thanks.
PS If there is no way to make them the default, then techs please take note - this is a user request for function to include in the next version.

"Thanks for the help. I hadn't discovered the Options\Display stuff. I can just turn them on and off on the spreadsheet I am using before I print."
You can do that through Options > Display, but if you want to have new spreadsheets start out showing no row and column headers as the default condition, then Roger's suggestion of creating a spreadsheet template is the route to go.
You can create a default template for any of AppleWorks's document types by the following method. (These instructions are specific to a spreadsheet document, but the procedure is similar for other types.)
Open a new (SS) document.
Use Format > Document to change the number of rows and columns if you want values different from AW's default 40 columns by 500 rows.
Use Options > Display to set row/ column headers off or on and the cell grid to solid, dotted or no lines.
Check other formatting options for values you want to change from their defaults.
When finished making changes to the default values, go File > Save as...
Name the file "AppleWorks SS Options" then click Template, then Save.
AppleWorks will save the document as a Template, and will place it in the templates folder. Any NEW spreadsheet document subsequently created using the spreadsheet button in the Button Bar, the button in Starting Points, or using File > New > Spreadsheet will adopt the values specified in this template document. Existing spreadsheets wil not be affected.
To set new defaults for other types of AW documents, follow a similar procedure, then same the template with the same "AppleWorks XX Options" name, substituting the two letter code for the type of documnet for the "XX" in the name.

Barry

Restoring the default settings for Audition CS6

Fortunately you don't have to uninstall and reinstall Audition to do this - although that's certainly an option. Bear in mind that doing this will only work if you choose to delete your preferences as part of the process.
There are several other options though, and I suggest reading through all of them before deciding which to use. We'll start, though, with the other simple one. If you start Audition with the 'shift' key held down, this will achieve the same result - the preference files won't be read, and the default (aka 'vanilla') ones will be reinstated. Certainly with a Mac (and probably a PC as well) you have to hold the 'shift' key down at least until the splash screen appears, otherwise it might not work.
From here on, it gets a little more complicated, but you get more options. The reason for this is that in order to get at the individual preference files, we have to consider three different operating systems, XP, Windows 7, and OS X. By default, in all of them, the location of these files is hidden, and you have to reveal it. When you have done this, the path and files will be revealed.
Revealing hidden folders:
XP: In a folder, go to Tools>Folder Options>View and scroll down to the hidden folders entry. Select the 'Show' option. The path to the Preferences folder is C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\5.0
Windows 7: In a folder, go to Organise>Folders and Search Options>View, and then it's the same as XP. The path to the Preferences folder is c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0
Mac OX: The Preferences are in a library folder, and are apparently stored twice. The locations of them are:
/Users/[User_Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
/Users/[User_Name]/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.Audition.5.0.plist
There is a note about this at the end of this FAQ*.
Anyway, there are, apparently, several ways to unhide them:
1. The easiest way to get there without opening Terminal is to open Finder or click on your desktop, click Go in the menu bar, then hold down the OPTION/ALT key. You should see Library appear in the menu as long as your holding that key and clicking the menu item will bring it up in Finder.
2. Use Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop (or Finder>Go>Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library to temporarily access the Library directory. When you have finished manipulating the relevant parts of it, close this window and the folder will no longer be visible.
3. To make the Library folder visible permanently (like in OS 10.6 and earlier), open the Terminal application and use the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
What do you have to do when you've revealed the folder?
The basic idea is that if Audition opens, and it doesn't find a particular file in the preferences folder, it recreates it. So, you can either delete all the files in it (the same as Shift+open), or you can be more selective. Primarily there are three .xml files that you are interested in, and if you are only having a problem with one of them, then that's the only one you need to delete.
Application Settings - deleting this will restore most of the settings in the program itself back to defaults
Effect Presets - deleting this will restore default settings, but if you have made any of your own presets, you will lose these too.
Favorites - the same as Effect Presets, only for the Favorites list.
There is also an .xml file for Machine-specific settings, but this only affects your sound device, and generally would be rewritten anyway if anything changed, so generally doesn't need to be touched. Mainly it's the three I mention above that are the ones you will be interested in.
* A note from Durin about the Mac preferences files:
"The directory path, ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/ is where we store all the preferences, presets, workspaces, log files, etc. Anything and everything a user may need access to. The .plist file is more of an application/OS level preferences - similar to an ini or registry entry in that it's less user-facing and more preferences for how the application works with the OS. In Audition's case, this stores information such as the last directory accessed, File Open/Save dialog dimensions, and other mysterious prefs that are just random GUIDs that Audition and OS X understand.
In either case, if the directory or .plist is missing, it will be rebuilt on launch to the first-launch defaults."

The success of setting the correct cassette will depend on the applications you use. If the apps are set to use any cassette, rather than call a particular cassette, then making cassette 2 the default will succeed. But if the app calls cassette 1, then no amount of driver default settings will help. So in this case, you will have more success if you create another preset for printing to cassette 2, then you can ensure you select this preset when you want to print on plain paper. And of course you can select the envelope preset when you want to do this.
If you do want to look at modifying the printer defaults, this can be done via the CUPS web page.
To access CUPS, open Safari and type
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
This will open the CUPS Printer administration page and will show all the printers currently configured on the Mac. For the printer that you wish to change the defaults for, click its name in the Queue Name column.
Clicking the printer name will open the printer administration page for that printer. Here you need to click on the Administration drop menu and then select Set Default Options.
This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General. Scroll down the list until you find an entry like "Paper Source" or something similar that shows the cassettes and select Cassette 2.
With the option selected you then need to scroll down the list to the bottom of the page where you will see the ‘Set Default Options’ button. Click this button and you will then be presented with an authentication window. Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
Now you can open an application and select to print and then check the appropriate paper source menu to see if cassette 2 is the default.
