Photoshop cs5 not in "open with" context menu

I recently got version CS5 [12.1] of photoshop, installed 64 bit version of it. But the "open with " in right click context menu doesn't show photoshop among the listed programs. i tried reinstalling it but the problem is still there. Can anyone please help? I did 'Choose default pr ogram' and navigated to the Photoshop .exe for the 64bit version. (Default path is C:Program Files, Adobe.....) but photoshop doesn't come. nothing happens, the list of programs remains the same.

Do you see it if you click Choose default program..., then expand the Other Programs section?
If not, can you Browse to the Photoshop.exe file on your hard disk and add it?

Two "Adobe Reader" menu items in "Open with" context menu

Is there a simple remedy to the problem of multiple occurrences of "Adobe Reader" in the context menu?
That is, in the Finder, on Mac OS 10.6.8, I see two instances of "Adobe Reader" in the "Open with..." context menu...
thank you in advance.

Hi!
thanks for the response! I would be happy to find the root cause of this issue (or at least find and remove the data in the facility called Launch Services.
I have no additional binaries of Adobe Reader on the disk. One only.
I think there is some crufty data somewhere, which Launch Services is reading and hence displaying the erroneous menu item.
I suspect the Adobe Reader installer is somehow responsible for this. This was a clean and newly built system disk.
I have been reading the following:
How to rebuild the LaunchServices database
Launch Services Framework Release Notes for Mac OS X v10.5
Rebuild Launch Services Database
Now, I tried resetting the "global Launch Services database".
I must restart Finder to see if this was successful. Until later...

Open With Context Menu acting up

It seems as if using Time machine allows old versions of applications to appear in the "open with" menu.
Is that sensible?
How can I turn it off?
I don't really want to mistakenly open files in old versions of applications....

Do you see it if you click Choose default program..., then expand the Other Programs section?
If not, can you Browse to the Photoshop.exe file on your hard disk and add it?

Photoshop cs5 not working(opening) in vista (32bit)

i cannot access photoshop while accessing it from the start menu shortcut .it says adobe cs5 has stopped working.
But can access it through bridge without the filters.
please suggest a remidial solution.

Bump.
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

CS5 32-bit opens with no menu, empty actions window

When I open CS5 32-bit the main window has nothing in it but a white background. There are no menu items or toolbox. The Actions window open completely blank (transparent except for the frame). The application is unresponsive to any mouse commands (trying to grab and move the window doesn't do anything).
Task Manager shows that it's consuming around 12% CPU time and around 73 MB memory.
Last week I was editing some photos when I got an error that an action could not be performed because of a program error. I haven't been able to use the 32-bit version ever since, but the 64-bit version is fine.
I've removed CS5 and reinstalled it. I've also rebooted several times.
I need the 32-bit version so I can use DFine2.
Anyone seen this?

I use the Nik suite, and I removed all of the Nik apps when I removed CS5.
I'll try the Ctrl-Shift-Alt on startup after I finish with this batch of photos I'm working on.
If that doesn't work my next plan is to remove CS5, all the Nik software, then clean my registry and reinstall it all.
Any reason I should remove CS4 also?

Removing items form the 'open with' context menu

hi there,
i have adobe cs2 suite installed. that's why i have at least 20 different options to open image-files (jpgs, pngs, ...) with. where can i remove some options that i'll never need in my whole life!?
regards,
eric.

thanks for your answer.
it's not that i have a problem with old or duplicate entries and i would have to repair it. it's just that there are too many useless entries in the list.
if found the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. when i open it with textmate the code doesn't look like i can just delete or add any entries ...

Photoshop Cs5 not opening files

I'm not actually completely sure if this is an issue with Mavericks because the problem started about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but my Photoshop Cs5 won't open files anymore. As soon as the app launches, I can click on "open..." but as I'm selecting the file, the window will close and after that, every choice on all the drop-down menus is grayed out and can no longer be selected. I've already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 with no luck, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS Cs5 with no luck. Help pleaseeeeeee D:

Reset your Photoshop preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Uninstalling and reinstalling WON'T do that unless you used the CS Cleaner from Adobe to uninstall.
Also, check your Performance preferences:

Photoshop CS5 unable to open for edits from Lightroom 3

Have been experiencing numerous issue with the new LR and Photoshop not playing nice with each other on my Mac Pro w/10.6. Photoshop CS5 is will open in 1 attempt out of 8, and won't open from LR for editing purposes (it did once). Have been using in 32 bit mode to accommodate NIK and Topaz filters. I have reinstalled three times so far. Anyone got any ideas?

Try deleting the prefs folder for Photoshop. Mine was doing something like this where it would not open the image inside
of CS5 when you right click on the image and try an "open with". But it would work from the menu, most of the time. The cost is having to recreate custom settings inside Photoshop but since my CS5 was a new install as was LR3, it did not matter to me. It did require a reboot for the new preference file to fully take effect.
From Adobe's own workaround
5. Re-create the Photoshop preferences files.
Re-create the Photoshop preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
Note: Re-creating the Photoshop preferences file restores settings to their defaults.
To re-create the Photoshop preferences file:
Quit Photoshop.
Rename the Users\[username]\Library\Preferences\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp folder to Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.old.
Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file.
If the problem continues, then the Photoshop preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Photoshop, then delete the new Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file and restore the original name of the previous Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp

Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
File Format Error
This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
I get this message regardless of the following:
- ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
- ps is open and i double click the kmz
- ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
- ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
Thanks.
- Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
- Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
- OS 10.6.8

I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

Photoshop CS5 fails to open pdfs

Photoshop CS5 fails to open some pdfs created in Indesign. The message 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' comes up. Is this posibly a system issue not seeing the file information or a fault in photoshop.

We can't know. We know nothing about your PDFs nor your system. This could be anything from genuine structural damage in the files to embedding issues with fonts, PDF security stuff or jumbled up color profiles or whatever. You have to provide a lot more details.

Trackpad lags after opening the context menu

The case: I use my trackpad to open the context menu. I do not choose a menu item. I just move the mouse over a different screen control. Example: Close-window. I click (left) once, the context menu disappears. So far so good. Now I click again. But nothing happens. The control is not used.
The hint: I move the mouse to somewhere different, click, and move back to the control. Now the control can be used immediately.
Some explainations:
Just moving the mouse away and back does not help.
The UI shows me, that OSX notifies that the mouse is over the control.
I'm using OSX 10.8.4 with a MBP mid 2010. The problem purchases me since some OSX updates.
It happens independent from the trackpad device. The internal one shows the same behavior as the magic trackpad.
A direction to solve:
I checked the behavior with different other Macs. It is localized to mine.
I've created another user account. The behavior does not occur.
So I suggest it is something about my account preferences. Switching on and off the different trackpad preferences does not help.
What can I do?

pardon,i can't understand..
for ex: when tree first load ,the context menu works fine.but when i drag a node to any another node,no context menu popup anymore.and sometimes the right cilck will trigger the edit mode.
nothing output in my console.

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working with (Wacom CINTIQ21UX)

Has this been addressed?
I have been following this thread pretty closely
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/633937?tstart=0
It clears up the issue with multiple screens but doesnt address the issue with Adobe Photoshop CS5 not being able to load with the latest Wacom Cintiq 6.1.5-3a driver. I have tried the 6.1.2-5 driver able to load photoshop CS5 and calibrate my pen. but Photoshop wont recognize pressure sensitivty, rotation, tilt, any of the brush settings from the drop down it flags a caution yield sign, which is better than not having any pen.
Just wanted to know if someone found a way around it. or if Adobe or Wacom is actually working on a patch to address the error. At this point I am thinking about reverting back to Adobe Photoshop CS3.

My scenario and history:
Windows Vista Ultimate and now Windows 7 Ultimate
NVidia Quadro Fx 4500 driving 4 monitors total SLi on or off - makes no difference. Drivers irrelevant.
2 x Xeon 5160 (so total 4 cores)
24Gb RAM
PS CS 4 or 5
4 monitors - - yep it is the 4 monitor thing.
Fails everytime as you describe.
Observation - If you Remote Desktop Connection onto the computer - and so in effect are using only ONE monitor - PS works fine.
A WORKAROUND for 4 or 5 - I don't consider this a fix because you lose some functionality but it gets you 99% there and is the same workaround for CS4 or 5
Go to<drive>:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\ (or CS4 - depending on version)
Locate File:
ScriptingSupport.8li
Disable this extension by renaming the file with a tilde in front of the file name. Thus:
~ScriptingSupport.8li
Start Photoshop - it works and is mainly functional.
The only real downside I have discovered is that disabling this scripting extension means you cannot use some of the built in scripts under FILE - SCRIPTS - the biggest PIA for me being the Contact Sheet builder no longer works. But as I now use Lightroom to create contact sheets - this is not a big loss. Other scripting functionality - I am sure is affected - but not to a point I find PS unusable.
ADOBE - if you read this - it has been that extesion now for the last two editions of PS.

Photoshop Cs5.1 wont open

Photoshop Cs5.1 wont open, crashes on start up, already re installed it once. its running on windows 7 and the error message that I get says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly..."

Noel, thanks for your answer. I checked the system info for any usage of igXXXXX.dll files (I suppose Intel GMA drivers), but found nothing. It is however showing me a list of used ati*...dll drivers from which i conclude PS is using my dedicated GPU.
Unfortunately I did not find any option to turn off the integrated graphics in my BIOS. I tried to increase the shared memory value (it was set to 32MB) to 1024MB and let PCIE be the primary GPU device. Still, those effects don't seem to have any effect on Photoshop.
