Picture files open in OpenOffice only.

The xls files i downloaded from the internet will not open in Appleworks 6.
   I downloaded OpenOffice, and now any picture file automativally open in OpenOffice only.
Before I installed OpenOffice, all of my picture files automattically opened in Photoshop 11.
Why do my pictures (files), regardless of being in jpg, tif, etc., open in Open Office instead of Photoshop??
   I can now open them in Pshop by dragging them to Pshop icon, but if I just click on the picture file icon,
they allways again open in OpenOffice.
   Its mad, and I am considerring I have to get rid of OpenOffice.
Any sugestions would be appreciated.
Apologies for shocking grammar!
Thanks, Karel.
Intel iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Click once on any JPG picture and hit command-i to open the Info pane.
Expand the 'Open with' section if necessary. Select Photoshop in the drop-down menu and then click 'Change all'.
Repeat for other file formats.

Project files open in read-only mode

project files open in read-only mode in ms project 2013.But in the case of MS Project 2007 it opens in READ\WRITE mode .what should i do so that project will opens in READ\WRITE mode by default in MS Project 2013

In addition to John's excellent reply, I'd add that if you are talking about Project Server, this is by design that the projects in 2013 version open in read-only mode, in order to require an explicit operation to check-out the file. This prevents to have
many checked out files by mistake.
See this
article on my blog.

My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture.

Hi,
My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture. The ruler across the top read "0" to 13.5". Down the left side of the picture the ruler reads 3", 2",1", 0, 1", 2",3" etc. This leaves a three inch empty space at the top of my viewing area and I lose three inches of the bottom of my picture. I cannot figure out how to adjust this. I have tried the screen modes and they do not fix my problem. What can I do to solve this problem?

Please provide sensible details about your platform, exact version of your OS, exact version of Photoshop, complete details baout your setup, hardware details, monitor resolution, etc.

Shared folder files open as read only even though they are set up as read write

Hello, I've recently purchased a iMac to work alongside my mac book pro. Primarily, i want this for ease of use at home and as a 'back up' to my pro should anything happen.
I have a number of folders and files on my pro that I wish to access on the iMac and have set up shared folders to enable this with a new profile and read/write permissions. This all works fine until I open the document, make changes then find that I have to save as a different name as the files open as 'read only'?
Is there anything I've missed? I would of expected 'read/write' permissions to enable me to save files as edited?
Any help appreciated otherwise, I'll have to resort to copying files between machines which would be a major dissapointment!
Thanks in advance

Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.

SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

Hi all,
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017) RTM
Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
Issue details:
When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As. The
same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu.
Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
To date we’ve tested the following
Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
Any help with this appreciated.

Hi Dan,
For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode.
The same issue was present for Visio files.
Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case. If checkout is not required the document
menu can also be used as expected.
Cheers,
Dan

OS X Server files open as read only on client machines.

Recently, users became unable to save changes to any file on our server or add any file to any folder on our server. The server folders and files are all opening as read only on the client machines. Currently, the users are all assigned to a group, we'll call it "companyusers", this group is granted full read/write access. On the Get Info dialog box for each file on the server, the group "companyusers" is accurately displayed under sharing and permissions with Read & Write privileges, however under the Get Info dialog box for each client machine, the group "companyusers" is non-existent. Only a name titled "(unknown)" and "everyone" is showing up. Any ideas on why the "companyusers" group is not showing up on the sharing and permissions section for the client machines?

I think I found the fix. Looks like it works in my quick test.
I read this post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8278602&#8278602
Basically in Server Admin, I went to the 'File Sharing Tab' at the top of the window
Clicked on 'Share points'
High-lighted my Share Point
Below in the window, clicked on Share Point
Clicked on Protocol Options...
Clicked on SMB
Clicked on Assign as Follows - and I made everything Read & Write.

InDesign CS4 Files Open as Read-Only (Mac)

Having a problem where InDesign CS4 files sometimes open as read-only versions. This happens when opened by double-clicking through Finder, force opening by dragging the file over the ID icon in the Dock, or when opened through ID (file > open). If it's relevant, the ID file contains links to InCopy files that have been made using the Assignments Panel. System is Mac OS X 10.6.2. Any help &/or insight is greatly appreciated!

I got a similar kind of problem / error trying to migrate an InDesign Server CS4 solution to another server with InDesign Server CS5.
Windows 2008 server.
I'll describe it, just in case it might give any clues.
Calling an InDesign server "open" script, trying to open an InDesign document, using a network path - although the file is on the same server - resulted in an error message:
System.Exception: 3598: Error from InDesign. Cannot save the document. No destination file supplied.
In the script there is a line, telling Indesign Server to call the save method, if the document is modified, which can be the case after opening a document from another environment, converting to CS5, and links that need relinking and other stuff that either InDesign takes care of, or that the script does.
No lock file ( .idlk ) was created on the server, but until I restarted the InDesign server instance, the file was opened as read-only when I opened it on my own computer (from the same network path on the server). I could then not save it from my own computer (the "Save As" dialogue appeared when I selected "Save" in the File menu).
After restarting the InDesign Service, the file was no longer locked (restarting the sevice automatically clears all open threads to the documents), and I could use and save the file without trouble, from my own computer.
Changing from Local Service to Administrator for running the InDesign service on the server, made the document open. Setting full permissions to the "Local Service" account, on the network share in question, also works, and that's the way I left it.
So my problem had to do with permissions on the network share. Since the service account was not allowed to do certain things, such as "modify" files... something went wrong.
Probably no lock file could be written either, due to permissions... then the open document and locking was handled by the operating system only(?), keeping the document read-only, and reporting other messages than the expected ones. It somehow seems that the document was neither open nor closed on the server (since InDesign Server has no user interface, I can only report what my method calls "saw").
Now - with the permissions of the service account changed - trying to open the document on my computer I get the correct message: "Cannot open the document [...]. You may not have permission or the document may be open already."
(When it was opened in a faulty state - with insufficient permissions - on the server, I could still open it on my computer, but as read-only, due to the missing lock file.)

Word 2010 Files Open as Read Only

Greetings !
I have an end user who has a somewhat enigmatic and oh so mysterious issue concerning various and random Word files stored on one of our file servers.
Let's say she opens 10 different Word files. Of those 10, 2 or 3 may open as READ ONLY when that attribute is clearly not set on any of them! Permissions look OK. The files are not in use.
This occurs on a Windows 7 client pulling files from a 2012 file server.
I dunno on this one. Suggestions?

"xlsx" files opens in read only mode

Hi,
I'm not able to edit .xlsx file when I try to do so from the followedcontent.aspx page. Whereas, I can follow the .xls document.
Has anyone encountered this problem before. Is this the expected SharePoint 2013 behavior with .xlsx documents.
To reproduce the issue, you can follow two excel files one with .xls and another with .xlsx extension. Go to the followedcontent.aspx page (where you see all the content you are following). Try to open and edit .xlsx file.
Thank you.

I think, I just stumbled upon the solution:
Go to the followedcontent.aspx page, then go to site settings, and then activate "Open Document in Client Applications by Default" feature.

After applying FQDN with SSL sharepoint2010 document library's document open as Read Only

Hi,
we have sharepoint server 2010 installed in windows server 2008 R2. We build a document library. After that we installed Office Web Apps. Now,edit in Browser or edit in word/excel etc. all options are working fine.
After that, we configured the site with FQDN (Fully Qualified Doman Name) with SSL. Now, the
edit in browser mode is working fine form both server and client machine (for both windows and form based users).
But, When we are trying toedit in word or other office application mode, the files open as Read Only mode (both from server and client machine).
The users cannot save the file.
After trouble shooting a lot, we found many forum says to edit windows registry or do some other operation on client machine. But, in our case it is not possible to edit registry or do some other experiment on every client's machine.
Is their any option to solve the problem from server end, so that each client automatically can open the office files on their own PC and save them to server (instead of re uploading the files to server )?
Please, help us to give the suggestion for solving our problem.
Thanks,

Is Alternate Access Mappings configured correctly? Is the behavior consistent across different browsers? What are you seeing in ULS logs when the document is being opened from the library?

Show button on file open if interactivity supported

Is there any way to show a button upon file open if and only if the PDF reader opening the file supports interactivity? That is, there's no point showing the button if the end user can't do anything with it.
It would be fine if the button showed if and only if the PDF reader opening the file is an Adobe product, but it's not a requirement.
Steps:
1. Open file
Expected result: If interactivity is supported (or if the reader is an Adobe product, doesn't matter), show the button.
The button is not part of a form, but rather is used to show and hide layers. It is okay if the expected result requires JavaScript, as if they have JavaScript disabled, they would get the same result as if they had no interactivity.

You could define an invisible button and have JavaScript to make it visible on open. Not guaranteed (because who knows what all PDF viewers will do) but worth trying.

Would like to verify Time Machine backup but when I enter TM and then open iPhoto, it only provides me a gray window telling me the size of the file. How do I make sure all iPhoto pictures have been backed up on Time Machine?

Yes, that's for network backups only.
What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea). See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

Strange bug in GO-OpenOffice 3.1 regarding file opening of long names

I've noticed a very annoying bug regarding go-openoffice 3.1.0.99.2-1, reproduced by me multiple times. When I try to open some kind of file, regardless of what it is (could be an .ODT or .DOC), and do this by selecting it with File->Open, OpenOffice gives me an error like the one below
As you can see although I've selected the proper file with the proper name, OO is trying to open a file with a name somewhat shortened, i.e. missing letter "T" at the end. The same file opens without any problem when I selected it in Dolphin. Now, what a strange bug! Anyone had similar experience? Any known solutions to this? It seems to happen only when the name of the file is longer than one line in the OO "opening tab" or whatever it's called.

Don't know about vanilla as I don't have it installed at the moment. Maybe someone else can confirm this bug?

Picture files- Unable to open

I have pictures files with a date of- 12/31/1969
When I click on them I get "Unable to display file/media card/Blackberry/videos"
When I try to delete, it says the files are read only. They seem to be duplicates.

Hi,
Have you tried opening these files on your PC? Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to your PC and then go to Computer. Now locate the BlackBerry drive and navigate to BlackBerry/Photos or Videos. Try opening the files from here. If it does not work you might need to format your media card this will mean you will loose all the data on the media card. You can format the card by going to Options-Memory-Press the menu key and select format.
Thank you
