Illustrator :: File Associations Of Adobe Products Will Not Open Cross Platform
Jul 11, 2012
I have an computer that suddenly can only open an .PDF file in Acrobat, and not in Illustrator. We have art files that are in PDF format, and Purchase Orders that are in PDF format. We would just drag the icon over the software we wished to open the file. In this case Illustrator for the art file and Acrobat for the P.O. As of today, PDF's only open with Acrobat and that's it. I know it's probably a setting I'm forgetting.

I have ancient Mac photoshop and pagemaker files. i need best cross platform product for windows that can access these files. adobe photoshop is my primary concern. I understand the indesign cs2 will import old school mac photoshop 6.0.x but is not compatible with windows 7 ..
Â
So in summary, need to determine which Windows 7 x64 version of Indesign CSxx will still open archaic Mac Adobe files (layouts, EPS, etc). Or is there a similar product that must be obtained. I prefer to stick to Adobe products
Â
Also, if you know what I should obtain, does this product have a trial download option that I can test functionality before purchase?

Is there any way to save/open files in Adobe products using the general Windows format, i.e. where you could copy & paste a folder location into your address bar. I work on multiple projects across a complex network and I have to manually navigate through all the folders each time, and I can't copy & paste a location like I could if I was browsing through Windows normally. Also you can't save favorite locations?

I have a vector shape (which is simply four rounded rectangles) that I have converted to a 3D object,now you can see I've angled the flat plane so it's a little oblique, but what I want to do now is map the 'face' of the extruded shape so instead of lying on a flat plane, the plane itself is warped like a sphere.
Â
Imagine taking these 'chicklets' and pressing them onto a bowling ball instead of lying on a flat table.Is there any way to do that in CS6 or am I going to have to do this in another 3D application?

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?

I had Photoshop CS6 installed and working on my Mac using Adobe Creative Cloud. However now a dialog appears that says "Help Improve Adobe's Product". Regardless if I approve this dialog or not Adobe Photoshop starts up with every menu option grayed and I can do nothing. I have to force quit the application. At this point it is 100% unusable.
Â
I've googled it and seen others with a similar issue but no solutions found. I have OSX 10.8.3.
Â
Others with similar issues. URL....No real solution other than don't use Mac Keeper (which I do not) URL....

restore the the ability of Photoshop to open with a preview on windows machines. That is; a single click on a file from within Photoshop gives a small preview image to tell you what it is you are opening. This is crucial to professional photographers in the industry working quickly with lots of images as I do in the medical/scientific photography field.Â
Every other version of Photoshop has had this feature and I can tell you a lot of power users like myself are not using CS6 just because a single click doesn't preview what you are opening. My company just spent $10,000 upgrading six machines and no-one is using CS6 for work - they are sticking with CS5. CS6 is only good for 'playing around' with photos, if production is key, then to save time, we need to see what we are opening on a single click - it's a no brainer! Check the forums to see this that is true, and if you are reading this and agree with me, write and tell adobe to fix this - pronto!

Today i called into adobe to preform a cross-upgrade from my windows Photoshop Cs3 to mac Photoshop Cs4. All this together would cost 200$. I gave them my serial number twice, they repeated it back to me and everything was correct. But they said they could not find the serial number in the system. My parents bought it on a website from Canada 2 years ago so we no longer have the receipts. I say this because they said they would need proof then i could go ahead and start the process. Is there another way of prooving i purchased it or something else i can do?

My Illustrator files are not associating properly with Illustrator CC on my Win7 64-bit machine.
Â
When I had Illustrator CS6 all my Illustrator files were associated properly with ILLCS6. When I deleted CS6 and installed ILL CC my Illustrator files wouldn't associate properly with the program. I did the usual thing: OPEN WITH and tried to change the association, but Illustrator never shows up in the list after I tried to re-associate files.
Â
All of my other CC programs like Photoshop and Indesign all associate correctly with their files.
Â
I have found Illustrator in two places; Program files, but also in Program Files (x86). Which is correct?

Problem: When using Illustrator (CS4), saved files as .EPS, do not have the appropriate Illustrator icon on the file. When I click on them to open, instead of opening in Illustrator, the file open in "Preview".
Â
NOTE: ".AI" files saved, do not have the correct AI icon either, but do open in Illustrator.
Â
What can I do to rectify this situation?

A) Yes, I have read through numerous posts and tried numerous solutions except the one that works.
1) Erased the registry keys for internet explorer blah blah blah
2) Closed all programs during installation including antivirus, disconnected from net.
3) Ran CS4 clean up AND windows install cleaner AND Revo Uninstaller
4) Rebooted several times/ ran the installer several times.
B) PC Specs: 2.0Ghz Duo Core Intel, 4 G Ram, Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit, Avast Antivirus home addition, Dell m1530 XPS...
C) Installed Adobe Dreamworks CS4 trial without a hitch...
D) Tried to install Fireworks trial and got a ERROR 1603 message at about 95% of the install..Gave up on that one.
E) Trying to install the Adobe downloaded Photoshop CS4 Trial and also gives me a ERROR 1603 at about 95%... I would like to use this software but according to other postings...it doesnt matter if its the trial or paid for version..people are getting the ERROR 1603..
F) Its hard to believe that with all the people with the same issues, it has not been widely posted on how to troubleshoot this issue.

I work in PS CS4(3) or Lightroom in Vista I ge this yellowish tone over my images, it also appears to be in regular Explorer when i view pictures there, and i know its not the monitors problem because when I view pictures in Infanview, it shows true colors, which I can also see if I upload my images to the web or view them in explorer but on my another XP machine. Is it Vista related or what?

Adobe asked me to change the password. After doing this, I have been unable to activate the Photoshop and perhaps also the other Adobe products. The activation process ask for the serial number and when I'm giving it, the system says that it is too short. If I'm trying to make a phone call to Adobe, the support is only in English and I cannot understand the spoken English of the support.

1. Workflow is in lightroom version 4.1Â Photoshop CS5.5 is used when necessary as secondary workflow
2. Import works fine. "preview thumbnails" appear normal. When I CLICK on the next image it will suddenly do this ^ to the file
3. I have tried taking that EXACT file and running it through Adobe DNG converter but it comes out looking exactly like this... so it seems that lightroom is actually corrupting the file
4. I have a copy of all my raw files on another drive so I can grab those files and they do not have this problem

When I open an image in Photoshop CS3, an open box appears and I have selected my image, but when I click the Open button, an error message comes out that says "could not continue with the open command because two or more files were selected for opening at once". So I clicked the OK button and then I could not click all buttons even Close button. I still have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to close or I have to restart the whole PC.

I'm using max 2012, and recently I got a license for max 2009 so I can use both at the same time.problem is that I installed max 2009 after 2012, so .max files started opening on max 2009. when I manually switched them on windows to open on max 2012, a weird and ugly icon got associated with .max files. you can say I have OCD, but I just hate wrong icons and stuff, that's something I stare to all day long, so I'd rather to keep it clean.
so I uninstalled max 2012 and installed it again. was a pain to reinstall my scripts and some plugins, but I got the icons back. but the other day, when I restarted my computer, files were associated to max 2009 again! and I didn't even touch 2009 version. It's driving me crazy. how can I associate .max files to max 2012 again and get the new neat 2012 icons to show?

I just installed CS6 Design and Web Premium on my MacBook Pro running OS10.6.8. InDesign opened fine, but in the dock Illustrator and Photoshop have diagonal lines through them. I tried opening Illustrator and got this message: "You can't open the application Adobe Illustrator CS6 because it is not supported on this type of Mac." My MacBook Pro is 3-4 years old--a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, Model Identifier: MacBook Pro1,1. I double checked the OS required by CS6 and it's 10.6.8.

I upgraded CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design & Web Premium. Most of my preferences (layout, etc) were imported correctly from CS5. When I right-click (PC, Windows 7) on the Bridge CS6 thumbnail, and click on 'Open with ', there was a collection of Microsoft programs (COM Surrogate 6.1, Microsoft PowerPoint 12.0, Publisher 12.0, Windows Live Photo Gallery 15.4), and no Photoshop (Default). When I used the WIndows file-associations program, and Photoshop CS6 was associated with *.psd files, then it appeared in the 'Open with ...' menu as Photoshop (Default). However, the other Microsoft programs are still present. How do I get rid of these and add the relevant Adobe programs (Ai, Id, Dw, etc),

Something corrupted my installation of CS5 a month or so ago after it had been working correctly and I lost all the image file associations. Photoshop worked fine but only if I directly opened files from within. Also all the other image packages were missing from the file association list in the Windows 7 file associations tool, not just Photoshop.  Using the Windows tool to find the programmes dot exe file and create an association also locked up at the select the right package phase.
Â
I have fixed this now and my reason for posting is that several previously suggested fixes in both the MS Windows fora and elsewhere on these Adobe forums were either very complicated requiring direct registry editing or didn't work. It has taken me a while to find a work-around that worked, hence this post.
Â
1) Firstly - as is stated elesewhere the obvious answer of simply reinstalling Photoshop over the existing copy doesn't work! Unfortunately it was a while before I found this out, with several time wasting retries of this as a fix attempt.
Â
2) Not saying this is guaranteed to work in every case but I ran a 3rd party free Registry Cleaner tool, this appears to have fixed the bug in the registry allowing the Windows 7 File Associations tool to work properly again. Once that was fixed linking up each graphic type was simple.
Â
Reason for posting is I wasted lots of time thinking the issue must have been a legacy from my earlier instal of a trial version of Master Suite or the older Photoshop 7 being replaced even though my CS5 edition had been working Ok for some time. because this is what is given as the usual cause. However I think in my case it was after loading and then deleting other graphics software, possibly Real Player, which had grabbed the associations and corruped registry settings somehow at uninstall. It appears registry cleaner restored the corruption and allowed the standard Win 7 tool to work again.

I have recently installed CS4 and I want to make fireworks my default editor for jpegs. However, I can't. PNGs default to fireworks, but whatever I try I cant get jpegs to. I thought I could live with it but when I press on a jpeg attachment I forget taht it weill open in Ps. Its beginning to drive me nuts! I have tried all the usual tricks regarding choosing a program to open with an extension, as well as uninstalled most of my previous Studio 8 - still have flash 8 installed - fw and dw are gone. Anyone got any more ideas. Is there something I need to do in PS?

I have a problem with the Illustrator file I was working on. I cannot open it, and the icon of the file is a bit opaque with a grey cross. If I try to move it, a message says that the file is unavailable. But still is not an empty file. This is the property window:
Also, I stopped working around 01.00, so I don't know why the last access is at 02.36.

Changing a file association is a simple matter you either do it in Windows Explorer in the properties or just use the edit in command in bridge.Except that neither is working.
Â
Photoshop CS6 is not even showing up as an option in either Explorer or in Bridge but it is ironically working in Lightroom.I know how to change file associations.
