Unable to choose Photoshop CS6 as default app for jpegs, Win7

Suddenly I'm unable to choose Photoshop CS6 as the default "Open with" app in Win7 when I'm attempting to open jpegs.
I updated Adobe Application Manager and it says Photoshop CS6 is installed and I'm able to open Photoshop CS6 without getting the "trial version" error any more -- although that was a  problem until I updated AAM.

I know exactly the problem you are having and exactly how to fix it! (For Windows 7 and possibly others) I spent an hour trying to figure it out, and it is all because of bad registry values.
Cause:
First off, it is caused by uninstalling a previous version of Photoshop and then installing CS6. (But lingering folders and registry values still remain)
Symptoms:
When you try to change a file type association with the Open With dialogue, Photoshop CS6 never appears! Choosing "Other Programs" does not bring up Photoshop CS6, and Browsing will not add it to the list!
Workaround: (REAL FIX)
Click on the Start button.
Select the search programs and files. (You may need to enable this search field if you have it disabled.)
Type regedit (regedit.exe will appear only after typing regedit completely)
Select regedit.exe.
Click yes to allow access to it.
Be very careful with the following steps as editing the registry is dangerous!!
Navigaate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command
Double click on Default.
In the value data section you may notice a path to the previous application that doesn't exist anymore (root of problem)
Change it to the path of CS6 folder but keep the extra characters beyond Photoshop.exe
Hit ok. Then close out of this window.
NOW Photoshop CS6 will appear in the list! Enjoy!

    I am unable to reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I do have the serial number) on my Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (Mavericks os). and am getting the message "Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported.  Please choose a different volume for installation."  I am further told that "Adobe apps cannot be installed on case-sensitive drives, you need to Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive."
    What I don't understand is this:  I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine.  Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop.  1) Why did it work before and it's not working now?  2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

    It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

  • Installer failed to initialize: unable to install Photoshop CS6 from download

    I'm unable to install photoshop CS6 from download. I've downloaded to required two files (Photoshop_13_LS16.7z and Photoship_13_LS16) and double clicked on the second file. This appeared to extract a number of files and folders to a newly created C:/users/lester/desktop/adobe CS6/Photoshop/ folder. I found a file called "Set-up.exe" inside the .../Adobe CS6/ folder and double clicked it. When I double click, a status bar says "initializing installer" for a few seconds, I get the following error message:
    ! We've encountered the followng issues
    Adobe installer is already running. Please close other Adobe installers and select retry option to continue with this installation.
    Get Adobe Support Advisor
    Nothing else is running in Windows. The adobe support advisor link is useless because the page says support advisor was discontinued. The "how to download" PDF on the download page was useless (for CD disk downloads only). Any ideas?

    Thanks Jeff - I decided to do a complete reinstall of Windows because of this issue and others with unwanted popups I accidentally downloaded. Hopefully things will go smoother the third time around, just as they did a few days ago when I did install PS CS6 without any problems.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 provides no engine for debugging

    Hello,
    I've been trying to diagnose a problem with my wife's copy of CS6 Web and Design premium. Basically it's unable to run any JSX script that requires the Debug engine. I receive the error message 'Adobe Photoshop CS6 provides no engine for debugging' - trying it on Illustrator also gives a similar error. Persisting by clicking the 'play' button brings up a popup error message that says 'Unable to Run Script' or something similar.
    Note that if I hack our JSX script to bypass the debug engine it works fine - except certain PSDs will cause CS6 (and my older copy of CS4) to crash, so this is only a stopgap measure. Disabling OpenGL on CS4 seems to prevent crashing but it's not an option on the wife's copy since she's a full-time artist and I'm not.
    This is what I've had to change -
    $.level = 2;    // debug level: 0-2 (0:disable, 1:break on error, 2:break at beginning)
    debugger;        // launch debugger on next line
    Changing the $.level = 0 lets me continue without issue.
    This problem does NOT exist on my laptop using the same installer downloaded from Adobe.com. (I use trial version for testing, she uses her serial no.)
    Is it possible this problem persists because I uninstalled an old copy of Photoshop CS5 (standalone installation) AFTER installing CS6 Web & Design (multiple programs)?
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS6, but the problem persists.
    Please help, our jobs rely on this. >.<
    Worst case scenario I'll copy the entire install folder over from my laptop to try and fix the problem but I'd rather not have to since we're currently working in different countries and I can only use Remote Assistance to help.

    The problem is the SCRIPTS work - the debugging engine is what's missing for some reason. Even if there's a way to just cleanly uninstall everything so I can start from scratch without formatting the hard disk would be a good solution. (since apparently I think I missed some files somewhere on the last uninstall)

  • How to make Pages default app for .doc files

    How do you make Pages/Numbers the default app for all .doc/.xls files?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Highlight a known Word document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages. If Pages is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages. Repeat with Excel documents & Numbers.
    Be aware that the icons for these documents will be plain white icons.

  • Change default app for .dvdmedia files (Finder now treats them as folders)

    I need to change .dvdmedia files to open up with an app and not to show up in Finder as a folder as it currently does. How do I do that?
    There isn't anymore the usual drop-down menu for Open with... in Get Info dialog window since Finder now treats .dvdmedia files as folders. This happened when I was trying to change the default app for them to something else but the "Open with" section kept showing Finder and when I actually selected the Finder once it started to treat these files as folders. Now I don't know how to get back.
    Thanks!

    This tip further down the other discussion worked (the 2. part of it): https://discussions.apple.com/message/17531236#17531236
    I'm still missing icons for three of my .dvdmedia files and I can only have DVD Player app be the default app but at least I got the files back to files instead of folders.

    "1. Open TextEdit (or some text editor), create a small text file and save it.
    2. Right-click on the text file, and choose "Get Info".
    3. Under Name & Extension, change the extension to ".dvdmedia". Hit Enter to save this change.
    4. Under Open With, the associated program should be showing VLC. Select DVD Player instead, and save that change.2

  • How do I change the default app for opening a file;

    If I right click on a file in finder, it tells me what the default app for opening the file is.  it also gives me a short list of other apps.
    I would like to change the defaults for several file types, and also delete one app from the short list and add a different one.
    How do I do this?
    thanks

    You could try this:
    - right-click (tap with 2 fingers on the apple trackpad) on a file you want to open in openoffice
    - move the cursor over "open with". You should see the default app, then some suggestions, then app store, then at the end, "other...".  Select "other..."
    - find openoffice in your applications folder and select it  (if it is dimmed, change "enable: " from "recommended applications" to "all applications", then you can select "openoffice")
    - check "always open with"
    - then, click "open".  The file will open in openoffice and from now on, openoffice will be the default application to open the type of file you just opened.  You should also see the icon of all files of the same type change to the openoffice file icon.
    This is supposed to work, but that's not always the case, especially when the default app happens to be an Apple app.  If you don't want to use that Apple app, delete it (or move it elsewhere if you want a backup). That can help.
    Good luck!

  • How do I set Preview to be the default app for opening ALL pdf's?

    I have both Preview and Acrobat Professional on a Macbook Air running Mountain Lion.
    I don't see an option if I get info on Preview to set it as the default app for all PDF's.
    Where can I set this?  I only use Acrobat on occasion for form fill-in but prefer to use Preview.
    thanks

    Looks like I got it to work by selecting a document and setting in get info.  For some reason it was not working before.
