Quicktime 7.4.1 / 7.4.5 file type association

Hello,
I have upgraded quickime 7.1.3 to 7.4.5.
Since then, I've got a problem with the file type associations. I can add new ones without problem, but I can't remove them.
when I choose the default associations, click apply, click ok. And open the preferences panel again: they're all back.
Have you got the same problem?
thanks in advance

How can i disable dialog box asking to restore file type associations to quicktime for all profiles windows 7

Running a lab environment and need to be able to stop the QuickTime Player dialog that asks to restore file type associations to QuickTime. QuickTime associations are working fine but this dialog comes up on on every user profile. Need to stop the box from coming up at all

Clydecat, interesting I see the image you posted. QT 7 should have a File Types tab on the top, not on the bottom as the image shows. Don't know why it is showing up like that. My guess is a component of QT was removed or administrative permissions are in deny for QuickTime preferences?
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QuickTime qtp
QuickTime qtp is the QuickTime preference file. If that is of any help? You used to be able to delete QuickTime qtp if it was corrupted and a new one would be created on re-start. But that was with QT 6. So not sure if it currently works with QT 7, haven't tryed it with QT 7 myself

What shoul I do about this message?

File type association, e.g. Quicktime - VLC; make it stick

Hi,
I want to use VLC instead of QuickTime Player. Therefore .mov files are set up to be played using VLC.
After booting into Windows and rebooting Mac OS X, this set up is defaulted, meaning QU Player will be used. Is there any way to make my personal set up for file type associations and default application stick?
Thanks alot

If you click on file you want to watch with VLC, command-i gives you info, down the window it'll say "open with" choose your application and then "change all" this should then make all files that are the same open with VLC. If that doesn't stick repair your permissions.

Quicktime 4.7 file type association hijacking

I've got a really annoying little problem after upgrading to 7.6:
The update also updated quicktime ( to 4.7) with ALL file types associations active. Arrogant to say the least, but just a nuisance nothing more.
Problem is that I can't change them back: when I choose the default associations, click apply, click ok. And then when open the preferences panel again: they're all back
Any solutions? I really don't want to be using quicktime for all my multimedia files: it's a terrible program (too bad it's mandatory for iTunes).
TIA,
Dietbrand

I also have MAJOR problems with PictureViewer as of late. Not only does it have the 1993 file names limited to 8 characters (which I think is a problem with the installer/registry - it puts "C:\PROGRA~1\QUICKTI~1\..." as the path to it by default, whereas the older versions didn't do that.).
Also, recent versions of Nvidia's Forceware Drivers (I upgraded from 94.24 (July '07) to the latest 169.xx since I'm getting a new video card), cause PictureViewer to crash ONLY when it loads the stupid little "Buy Quicktime Pro" box. Perhaps this could be disabled or made not to crash? Pictureviewer is (soon to be was) my default/preferred image viewer for every image type.
Oh and there's a third problem with the new PictureViewer/QT combo, even if you tell PictureViewer to open a .gif, it will still load in QT (which I think has to do with QT's file association hijacking), unless I manually went into the registry and changed the associated within QT's part of the reg.
As for QT. This file hijacking thing is unbelievable. The "do not show this message again" button to stop checking file types on PictureViewer has NEVER worked. Why even have the option if you can't say no? Also, the buttons/checkboxes in the control panel/qt preferences do nothing, it auto reverts as soon as you exit the menu and I'm guessing it doesn't change anything in the registry. Also, even when QT is first installed, it default only takes over MAC-related formats. On the first run of PictureViewer though, it gives the "some file associations were changed" message? By what program, the QT installer? When you press Yes to restore (b/c it's the only way to prevent the popup), it auto takes over EVERY file format QT recognizes... ugh.
Thank god there is QT alternative. Anybody know any alternatives to PictureViewer that open pictures in new windows?

File Type Association fails when opening multiple files from Bridge to Premiere

I'm running Vista 32 bit CS3 Bridge and Premiere.
According to the Video workshop
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/video_workshop/
under Premiere > all 19 topics > Managing Media in Adobe Premiere Pro > at 02:46 it shows group selecting a bunch of quicktime files using Edit > Select all, then File > Open With ...the drop down shows Premiere.
Mine only show Premiere if a single file is selected. If I multiple select, it only shows Quicktime Player 7.6.
I've checked the file type association in preferences of Bridge to open these files in Premiere but it still only sees Premiere if a single file is selected.
I've upgraded Bridge to 2.1.1.9 and set to run as Administrator but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Import has always worked fine. this is not the issue.
I have now changed the file association in Vista, re-started Premiere and Bridge and then after having started just Premiere chose File > Browse and the selected all the .mov files and selected Open With. Hurrah! Premiere is now listed!
However, If I continue the focus changes to Premiere but a warning appears "This file path does not exist on disk at this location".
Nothing is imported. Unlike the video workshop mentioned above.
If however, I chose Open and not Open with then the files are imported.
Seems to be a bug with Open with with more than one file chosen. If a single file is chosen and Open With is applied then the focus changes to Premiere but no file is imported.
I have seen the exact same problem in another discusion "Re: Bridge CS3: Not importing clips into Premiere CS3" (see the More Like This panel on the rightside of this window)

Old icons remain after changing file type association

I have several video file types in my Movies folder: MPG, MP4, AVI, and MKV. Many of the file types are automatically associated with Quicktime Player, (despite it being unable to process them, such as the AVIs). Being unable to play my MKVs at all, I downloaded VLC player to supplement. I have since grown to like the additional features of VLC, and would like to use it as my player of choice for all movie files.
Changing the file type associations was simple enough, (Get Info -> Open With, Set as default for each file type), however the pre-associated files still retain their original QT icon.
How do I go about batch changing the incorrect QT-associated finder icons for icons that correctly represent their new association with VLC?
Thanks for reading

I was having that same trouble, but with ".rar" archives (in my case - OS X Yosemite), I tried all ways to solve it, following all kind of tips, like: choosing a new program as default to open the file, app cleaners, terminal commands, disk utility, etc.. but nothing worked. When finally I got problem solved, how I did it: 1) Download the program: Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/), after downloading, I got the message to register it, I simply clicked on "Remind me later". 2) Now, after installing it, configure Cocktail with this short tutorial, exactly as described (http://www.everythingmacintosh.com/tech-notes/maintain-your-mac-with-mac-os-x-co cktail/). After following 2 steps, Cocktail will be configured and will run, in the end your Mac will restart, you can now check that all your archives will be with correct icon (preview/thumbnail). Hope it helps!

Set file type associations in Adobe Bridge for Photoshop CS6

Is there a way I can edit the registry so that in Adobe Bridge, under edit, preferences, file type associations, the jpg extension is forced to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop? I can do it manually, but is there a registry key i can export to apply it to multiple computers?

Yes, in theory, but it is generally not recommended. But that location would depend on what OS you are on. This video give the locations for the Photoshop files, Bridge would just be in a neighboring folder: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/

Removing obsolete file type associations from "Open With" menu

Ever since I removed VMWare Fusion 3.x from my system, I've been unable to remove the Bootcamp file type associations that it created. For example, if I right-click on a PDF and choose Open With, this is a partial list of what I see:
Adobe Acrobat Pro (default)
Adobe Distiller (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Fireworks CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
Adobe Illustrator CS4
Adobe Illustrator (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
...and on and on and on. 17 additional entries for Fusion for PDS's alone. This junk is driving me crazy.
I've tried rebuilding the Launch Services database with MacPilot and Onyx (the recommended fix that I've found on the web), but the entries still are there even after restarting Finder and rebooting my iMac. I'm at a loss to figure out how to get rid of these.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

They are stored in the LaunchServices database. You can give this a try, but no guarantees. If you no longer use VM Fusion then I suggest following the information below on uninstalling software.
Rebuild LaunchServices Database
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
find /System/Library/Frameworks -type f -name "lsregister" -exec {} -kill -seed -r \;
Press RETURN.
Wait for the Terminal prompt to return after which you can quit the Terminal.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

File Type Associations

Recently re-installed Adobe Photoshop CS6, Dreamweaver CS4 and Illustrator CS4 because I had considered not renewing my Adobe CC subscription. I decided to stay on CC one more year, but the previous version installs totally messed up my default file associations. I do not want to uninstall those previous apps.
So of course I went to Bridge preferences and painfully changed them to the CC programs. The problem is if I want to open an .ai in Photoshop CC I used to be able to from one of the options in the flyout. Now I can only pick the default and all the other options are like Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS4. How can I change those other options populating the flyout without uninstalling the old apps?
I can go to Photoshop CC and manually open it there, but that defeats the whole purpose of Bridge.
I tried to change file type associations through Windows 8 file type associations but it won't let me do it there either.
Thanks.

Find a file you want to have associated to a different application in the Finder.
Control-mouse click (or right click if you have a two button mouse) the file and select Open With's submenu Other...
Find the application you want to open it with, and make sure in the Open With... file dialog box, you check "Always Open With" before selecting the application. Documents of that type will now always open with that specific application you chose.

File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.

Bridge File Type Associations don't see my (2014) products?

I have just updated Ps, Ai & Id to (2014) and uninstalled old versions (Win 7)
Now Bridge has forgotten all my File Type Associations (no Adobe products in drop down) same is happening with my suitcase fusion 5 plugs, 2014 product not in plugs list
Adobe is not installed in the default location, is on my second drive. all else is normal
The result in this is that I can't 'Edit Original' or open any files without dragging from bridge into app.

Has Ubuntu and Windows ever seen each other?
You say "Ubuntu is apparently a linux platform...". not apparently - it IS a linux platform (are these your computers?)
The first thing is to get them all into the same logical Workgroup.
On PC: ControlPanel>System>ComputerName..jot down workgroupName.
On ubuntu, the file/etc/samba/smb.conf is edited (might not need this yet).
On Mac: Utilities> DirectoryAccess, Configure SMB/CFS...enter WorkgroupName in appropriate box.
(then look into SystemPreferences>Sharing, and turn on File Sharing.
In network utilities on the mac, have you been able to you ping these computers by their IP address? Have you been able to ping mac by number from Windows or Linux?
This site might help, too along with the Apple link that the other user posted:

Configure File Type Associations dosen't work for users

Hi EB,
Does anyones knows how to set the File Type Associations for users ? It works for me when i'm logged in as Admin but not as a user. When logged as user it always ask to configure the file associations when i open JDev and even with JDev open it does not set it. I tried to find an article about that but couldn't find any.
I'm using :
winXP SP3
JDeveloper 11g TP4
and i've sets all rights for autentified users on the folders and subfolders of JDeveloper.
Thanks

I tried going on tool>preferences>File Type .... and associate projets and source and applications files with JDev check marking "open with JDev"... it didn't worked as user... it's just not saving my settings while reopening it it's never saved... at least i've been able to associate it in my Admin account then i can go back in user account and select open file with in windows, choose JDev and check mark "always open that file with that program" only after that the association is saved in JDev... but still it open the Configuration file windows at startup with the ones i already opened with JDev checked... anyway that's not a big issue ... only that i can't save those settings by the JDev environement while logged in as a user...

Setting Bridge's file type associations in Preferences

Hello,
I am using Bridge with Windows 7 and I'm trying to change the file type association for a jpg from Photoshop to Office 2015. When I click on Browse, I find myself looking in Program Files/ Program Files (x86) but nothing seems to be a form of Office 2015 that will work. I see a folder for Office 2015 and inside is an .exe file, but that doesn't do it.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hey,

You are looking for an application, and ALL applications in a Windows environment have an .exe extension. There's no other kind.

Because to me it sounds nuts. All MS Office applications are pretty bad at handling images and voracious resource hogs.

Google is your friend. There are all kinds of free image viewers, even free image editors. I can't help you there because I don't do windows.

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.
