"Open With" won't

Greetings, I recently moved from Photoshop CS6 to Photoshop CC. Now when I select a Nikon NEF file either on the desktop or from Bridge CC and select "Open" it will always open with Photoshop CS6. If I select a NEF file and "Get Info", change the "Open with" from Photoshop CS6.app to Photoshop CC.app, select "change all", I am asked if I want to change all similar documents and select continue, it reverts back to Photoshop CS6.app. I am at a loss. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, David
IMac OX 10.8.5

Update… I recently upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014.The same problem, as stated above, still exists. Still reverts back to Photoshop 6. Is it possible that there is something going on with the Adobe CC application model? Any thoughts will be appreciated. This is getting very frustrating.
Regards and thanks
David

Default Open With won't change

I am using ThinkFree Office as an alternative to Microsoft. It works off the same file formats as MS Office and therefore adds the xls extension to its spreadsheets, etc. etc.
I tried changing the default application using file->get info-> open with -> change all. It then asks me if I really want to change thinkfree files to use thinkfree (doesn't make sense). I select yes (actually it says continue, I think), and then it changes it right back to MS Excel as the default.
Bottom line: I can change individual files to use thinkfree, but I can't change the default.
My iMac came with an MS Office test drive, which I have removed, deleted, trashed, etc. etc.
Has Big Brother Bill put something on my machine I can't change? How do I get rid of this so my xls files will always open thinkfree (same with .doc and .ppt)?

Did you follow these instructions to remove MS Office test drive:
On your hard disk, open Microsoft Office 2004 folder that contains the Test Drive. Any documents you saved in the Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive should be moved somewhere in your documents folder.
In the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, double-click "Remove Office". In the Results window, choose Microsoft Office 2004 (including Test Drive) and then click "continue" and follow the prompts.

You might also try this:
Navigate to /library/caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxxx.csstore. You may have more than one with different negative numbers. Delete all of these.
Then navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist and delete this also.
Then restart. Let us know.

"Always open with" won't "stick"

Hey all,
I want to open all pdfs with Skim rather than Preview. In 10.4, clicking on a pdf and selecting "Always open with..." worked perfectly. In 10.5 it never "sticks" - clicking on pdfs after doing that, they still open using Preview. Any ideas of why "always open with" never works for me under 10.5?

I was having the same problem under 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 - I couldn't make any custom file associations "stick" (after one or two reboots, they'd all revert to factory defaults). I deleted the Launch Services preferences and cache, made sure I didn't have any "haxies" installed, and even went so far as to perform an Archive-and-Install, but nothing worked. Then I found this thread in which several people wrote that having FileVault turned on, seems to prevent file association changes from sticking:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=85394
Turning off FileVault seems to have solved the problem for me, since my custom file associations are (so far at least) remaining as I set them. However, this remains a very serious problem for me, since I need both the security of FileVault, and the persistence of a large number of non-default file associations. In addition, the section of the "Get Info" window where file associations can be changed, is thoroughly messed-up: the drop-down box often ignores my selection (immediately returning to the default when I release the mouse button) and/or the "Change All..." button is grayed-out until I try to select the desired application again, and even when I apparently succeed at making a change, I sometimes have to repeat the whole process to make the change actually happen. (Generally I'm attempting to make these changes with files that are on a network drive on a PC.)

I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both. I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough - or maybe it's me?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Illustrator won't display in "Open With..." list in XP

Hi,
I don't know if anyone can help me with this, but I'll ask anyway. When I right-click a PDF and go to "open with" Illustrator CS5.1 is not there...perfectly normal on a fresh install. However, when I click "browse" and find the illustrator.exe file and select that, it won't add to the list. It's as if I clicked cancel instead of open. The same thing happens if I click Properties on the file and try to change the program that the file opens with.
It's no big deal, but it's just quicker to open a PDF with Right-click>Open With>Illustrator, rather than launch Illustrator and go File>NavigateReallyStupidLongFolderStructureOnCompanyServer>File.pdf>open.

you could add an Illustrator shortcut to the Send to...Folder
- hit Win+R to bring the Run dialog
- type sendto, to open the Send to Folder
- right click an empty area, and select "New" -> "Shortcut"
- browse to illustrator.exe, to add the shortcut
or if you're comfortable editing the registry, you can add Illustrator to the OpenWithList menu
- bring up the Run dialog
- type regedit
- browse to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithList
- right click on it and select "New"->"Key"
- rename to "Illustrator.exe"

IDVD won't open with OS 10.5.8 -can't record on to blank DVD discs

When I attempt to open iDVD application, message says it won't open with this OS. Also when I insert a blank DVD (Verbatim) disc am unable to record a film on to it as I get this message: "The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power for this level of media." I've seen this message on a previous post on this forum but could not see any solution posted. I have recorded onto DVD discs in the past (different make of disc and before I upgraded to Leopard).
I can record on to blank CD audio discs without any problem however.

The first thing to try (IMO important) is not to import directly from your camera. Get a Firewire-connected card reader (USB works also but is slow on Macs) and use the Mac's Finder to copy images from the card to a folder on the Mac hard drive. My description below describes a CF card, but the workflow is the same for an SD card or whatever.
I feel pretty strongly that camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
• Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable, and Firewire is much preferable to USB2.
• Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
• Eject CF.
• Burn DVD copies of the original images (optional backup step).
• Eject DVDs (optional backup step).
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
• Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
Good luck! The camera-to-Aperture workflow may or may not be the cause of your specific problem this time but in any event card-to-finder long term will provide a more solid workflow.

Recovered CR2 files won't open with CS3

Hey, I need help with this!
I worked in a photoshoot with a Canon EOS Rebel XSi and SD memory; then I had troubles trying to download them because the memory wouldn't let me do it, so I used the 'PC Inspector Smart Recovery' and I recovered all my CR2 files indeed. BUT! some of them won't open with Photoshop CS3, most of them do, but there's just some others that won't open and I really need to get this job done
My camera files always worked perfectly with photoshop CS3, plugins are installed, I really don't know what went wrong.

I am having a similar problem. I downloaded CR2 files from my camera to my computer and CS3 Bridge will not recognize the files, allow me to open in Camera Raw or open in CS3 Photoshop. I also stuck the same memory card in a Lexar mem card reader and attempted to download to my Mac in CS4 Bridge and that version of Photoshop and Bridge won't recognize the files either, however the CR2 files do appear, where I can view the thumbnails, in iPhoto. All original files are still on the memory cards (4 cards worth of wedding photos!). I've downloaded Camera Raw updates for both cs3 and cs4 on my windows pc and my mac and still no luck. I'm at my witts end! Help!

I can't export my video which contains only photos, sound tracks nor play it in fullscreen iMovie it shuts down. And now my whole file won't open at all it'll open with nothing inside ??

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
To manually associate a file format with an application:
In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

PDF file won't open with double click

Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
Very frustrating!

Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.
