Missing Icons, unable to set file association properly after upgrade to CS6

I am working with a client that had CS3 on Windows XP and upgraded to CS 5.5, and now has upgraded that to CS6. Her file associations were all set back to CS3, even though it shows that CS3 is uninstalled. I manually changed them and it will open the INDesign files but I cannot get icons to show for anything. I can see the icons in the shell folder and I can pick one but it will not show in Windows. Is there a way to clean up her system easily and make CS6 the default Adobe - and make sure none of the others have lingering file associations or references? I dont think they uninstalled all the way.

There is no easy way. you will have to clean out all file associations and reinstate them manually. You are simply exceeding the context handlers, a limitation in the operating system itself and usualyl a sign of too many programs trying to link their actions to a file association liek right-click menu entries for compression tools, virus scanners, viewers etc.

Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like LaunchServices.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then log out and back in or restart. Let us know.

How do i set file associations?

How do I set my ipad to pull up all apps that will open .jpeg files? In other words, how do i set file associations?

As King Penguin has stated it is done automatically and you cannot change the associations on your own either at this point. It is one of those features that would be nice to have, so if you like - ask Apple to add the feature via ....

How do i set file associations fo users using a group policy

You can use GP Preferences (=GPP) to perform this task.
You can simply create a "File type" item within "Folder options" and specify the needed parameters.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754587.aspx
Of course you need some prerequisites (at least one Vista or Winows 2008 for management and the GPP CSE on each target machine).
If you are new to GPP, these links will help you to get into it:

And I really recommend to use the integrated HELP function of the GPP editor
(F1 or help button) which gives detailed information about each extension.

Unable to access application set in admin console after upgrade to 7.0 M

Hi Experts
I am unable to access the Application Set through BPC Administration after upgrading our development server to version 7.0 SP3. I followed the instructions as per the Upgrade guide, and there was no issues during the installation. But when trying to access the application set i receive the following error message on step 9 ( 9/10) of during the connection.
Error message: Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not
permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the
subquery is used as an expression.
I have done all of the steps outlined as per SAP Note 1242962, but i still receive the error message. I tried to do a SQL Profiler trace, but i have been unable to find the query which returns more than one record.
Any help is appreciated
Kind Regards
Daniel

Interesting that you ask about upgrade vs uninstall/reinstall.
We were running BPC 5.1
We have also re-installed the Admin client to be the new version.
We have been working with an outside consulting firm to manage our system upgrade/install.
Our dev and qa environments were uninstalled then reinstalled.
When we went to production, our system was intially upgraded. I do not know why this route was chosen when that was not what was completed on dev/qa. On our production 'upgrade', we are still working through issues. We then uninstalled iis, sqlserver reporting services, both .net 1.1 and 2.0, and the BPC application. Then reinstall everything and we were getting the same errors.
Our error was at Progress 10/10 Create Database Schema and check Application server collation.
Error Message: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.
We are able to access the appShell and test copies of the appShell, we were not able to access any custom appSets which were created prior to the upgrade, nor are we able to access any appSets that were created as a copy of the custom appSet after the upgrade.
When logged with SAP, we were directed toward note Note 1331040 - Cannot log into 7M Admin console after restore from version5 noting that we needed to do the following changes:
Note that you will need to change the following:
INSERT INTO tblDefaults VALUES ('_GLOBAL','Prev_AppSet_Version','','','7.0.112')
INSERT INTO tblDefaults VALUES ('_GLOBAL','Curr_AppSet_Version','','','7.0.112')
to
INSERT INTO tblDefaults VALUES ('_GLOBAL','Prev_AppSet_Version','','','7.0.113')
INSERT INTO tblDefaults VALUES ('_GLOBAL','Curr_AppSet_Version','','','7.0.113')
The reason is because '7.0.113' means 7 MS SP04 while '7.0.112' means SP03.
There are 8 steps in this note, for us, only the first 2 were needed. I have asked SAP to create new note/update existing accordingly.
With the table entry, we were able to successfully access our app set.
Hope our experiences can help you out.
Thanks,
Becky Zick

How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again? After upgrading to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.

How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again?
After upgrading MBA to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.
I've searched and can not find a solution to the problem that's being encountered.

Yeap that all makes sense now.
Do you only have the current backup showing in the TM display?? Won't it fill in the rest?
Over wireless are you waiting for the indexing to finish.. ??
Previous backup may not show for a couple of hours.
Long short of it.. Mavericks version of TM is a pain.
Sometimes it is easier to completely ignore the TM backup and do the restore manually.
I have posted the details here. See if this helps.

Unable to open files associated with Adobe Reader - program goes into a loop

i am unable to open any file associated with adobe reader or adobe pro. when i double-click the file, adobe reader opens up but it goes into a loop.
adobe reader opens, then a progress window opens, as if the file will open but adobe closes and opens again and the same cycle repeats itself until i manually close the program.
any advice?
update:
i can open regular .PDF files when i double-click the icon and i can also open .PDF files when i open adobe reader first and then choose open file. it's just the .FDF files that are the problem (so far).
the file in question happens to be an .FDF extension, which is an internet generated form. i attached a screen shot of the screen that pops up, goes away, and pops up again that creates the loop.
the white out section is the server name where the file was saved to. but i also get the same symptoms when i am in internet explorer, hit the generate form button.

hey ankit,
sorry i didn't see a notification that you replied to this discussion.
"1. Generate a new PDF and a FDF file. Try opening the same and see if it behaves the same way."
yes, it does behave the same way, it's just a continuous loop until i have to kill the process.
"2. Check if you have access to the PDF that is being used by the particular FDF."
by this do you mean the correct permissions? if that is what you mean, then yes, the permissions are set correctly.
"3. If possible, please send me the FDF and the associated PDF that is behaving in this way on your system."
i really wish i could but the information in the form is sensitive and cannot be sent.
as an update though, i reimaged the customer's workstation, installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1 and it worked perfectly (finally). HOWEVER, after about two weeks the same symptoms returned!

Cannot set File Association in Vista to Acrobat Reader 9.0

After installing Acrobat Reader 9.0 on Vista Ultimate SP1, I am no longer able to associate the pdf extension with Reader. When attempting to change the pdf file association, Reader is not offered as an option. When clicking the Browse button and pointing to the Reader 9.0 file, it still is not offered as an option. Reader works fine when loading files from within the application.
Do I need to edit the Registry? Which key and what value?

Have a look at
http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/236/1/Unable-to-open-PDF-attachments-from-Windows-Ma il.html
It looks like you have to remove any existing associations before
trying to apply the correct ones.

Set file association using GPP

Hi
I am trying to change the default application used to open a particular file type. I tried it on the person's Windows 7 computer (in an AD domain).
I have tried changing the default file association using Control Panel. However, the text and the tick box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is greyed out. Also, when I browse and navigate to the .exe I want to be the
default program, after selecting it the new .exe is not added to the list.
I thought I'd use Group Policy Preferences instead. However, when I right click Folder Options under Control Panel Settings and choose 'Open With' it won't accept the path I specify because the application is not installed on the server on which I am
editing Group Policy. ????
Is there a way for me to set this, please?
Ideally, I would like to be able to edit the clients directly without the need to use GPP where an application is used just on one machine. But, it would also be useful to be able to set some global options without the need to edit every single person's
file associations.
If anyone knows how to make changing file associations from the client editable that would be great. I don't understand why it is greyed out - is this something I may have set in Group Policy and have forgotten about?
Thanks.

> right click Folder Options under Control Panel Settings and choose 'Open
> With' it won't accept the path I specify because the application is not
> installed on the server on which I am editing Group Policy. ????
Simply type the path, do not use the browse button :)

Martin

I am trying to USB sync Word, Excel, and PDF files between the ipod and the PC.
Pretty sure icloud has to have the internet to work, but I can try to see what USB options there are there when time permits.

FAQ: What do I need to know about file associations when I load Photoshop CS6?

Use Windows control panel to establish the file association.
This solution uses Photoshop as an example. For any other product, replace that product's filename extension and executable name with the product and file type you are attempting to restore.
Windows 7/Vista
Choose Start > Control Panels.
Change to list view:
Double-click Default Programs.
   4. Click Associate A File Type.
   5. Select .PSD from the list.
Click Change Program.
If your desired version of Photoshop is listed, choose, it. Otherwise, click Browse to locate it and click Open.
Ensure the "Always use the selected program..." option is selected. Click OK to close the Open With dialog box.
Double-click an .PSD file to ensure that it opens with your preferred version of Photoshop.
On Windows 7, click the View By pop-up menu and choose Small Icons.
Windows Vista, click Classic View in the upper left.
Windows XP
       Choose Start > Control Panels > Folder Options.
       Click the File Types Tab.
       Select PSD from the list.
Note: If you do not have PSD in the list of extensions, skip ahead to the next section, Create a filename extension.
       Click Advanced.
       Select the Open action, and click Edit
       Click Browse and navigate to the Photoshop.exe for your version. Select it and click Open.
Note: Make sure that the resulting value in the Application Used textbox has the following syntax, especially the "%1" (with quotes included). If it does not, manually edit the field contents so that it does:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
       Select Use PSD and click OK to close the New Action dialog box.
       Click OK to close the Edit File Type dialog box.
       Click Close to close the Folder Options dialog box.
      Double-click an .PSD file to ensure that it opens with your preferred version of Photoshop.
How to associate files for Photoshop CS5 with Bridge CS5 and Photoshop CS6 with Bridge CS6
1. CS6 assigns all standard graphics files to be associated with CS6 and thus causes Bridge CS5 to invoke Photoshop CS6. The objective is to have Bridge CS5 invoke Photoshop CS5 at least for chosen file types. Ensure neither CS5 nor CS6 is invoked.
2. In the Win7 Start Menu search box, type "file association".
3. Select the "Change the file type associated with a file extension". This starts a window titled "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program".
4. All of the graphic files are assocated with Photoshop CS6.   For those files you want to associate with Photoshop CS5, click on the chosen file extension (e.g. .cr2, .nef, .psd, etc) and click on the "Change Program" to associate the extension to Adobe Photoshop CS5. (note. this step seems to be a necessary operation since, when I simply modified the Bridge CS5 file type associations, Bridge 5 did not honor the change).
5. Start Bridge CS5. Choose "Edit -> Preferences -> File Type Associations".
6. For each file type you wish opened in CS5, change the association from CS6: choose the "Browse" option and locate the CS5 version of Photoshop.exe". This is probably in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)/Photoshop.exe. Click on OK to complete the association.
Now you can invoke Bridge CS5 and it will properly invoke Photoshop CS5. If you invoke Bridge CS6, it will invoke Photoshop CS6. If you use file manager to invoke one of your selected file extension types, it will start Photoshop CS5. Other graphic files will start Photoshop CS6.
If you wish, you can go back and reassociate the chosen types to PhotoshopCS 6 - but your Bridge 5 will still invoke PS5 for your chosen extensions since the Bridge-assigned file associations takes priority over the windows default program.
