Excel opens when i command a .csv file to open with numbers. How can i get numbers to be my default application?

I am sharing a Macbook Pro with my girlfriend. She runs Microsoft Office Excel for her work and I perfer Numbers in my work. Logged into my user account, I command an email attachment (.csv) to open with numbers. Excel launches every time. I can open numbers first. Excel still launches and opens the .csv document. i tried to trash the excel in my user account, no go. any suggestions?

Hi joric,
In Finder, right click or control click on the document and Open With > Numbers.  You may have to navigate from Other...
Or, a permanent solution:
In Finder, click once on a .csv document to select it. Get Info (command i) Towards the bottom of that info window, is Open With. It probably shows Excel. Change it to Numbers. Again, you may have to navigate from Other... Then click on Change All.
I can open numbers first. Excel still launches and opens the .csv document.
Are you opening from within Numbers (File > Open)?
Regards,
Ian.

  • I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I just upgrade the OS X from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. After upgrade, the help file is not available. How can I get it back?

    Look above at my original post:
    Downgrade Mavericks to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

    Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

    The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

  • The Adobe Reader conversion ability to Word (.docx files) will not work. How can I get my money back?

    I signed up and paid for the service that Adobe Reader advertizes that says it can convert PDF files to Word (.docx) files. I tried it immediately after purchasing it and it did not work. What it did was it converted it to a .docx file but the content was in the form of a picture and therefore uneditable. This does me no good. Basically, it took a screen shot of the PDF and then inserted it as a picture into a word file. I wouldn't call that conversion. I would like my money back. How can I get my money refunded to me?

    If the original PDF was an image, you need to perform OCR (text recognition) during the conversion.

  • Nothing opens when I click on my files to open and update my files.

    I have two previously created websites in Dreamweaver CS5.  I am trying to make my yearly updates to these.  When I try to open the files I have saved, they only open as html pages.  I try the open with option, and choose open with dreamweaver. but the dreamweaver icon simply pops up in my dock, and nothing happens.
    I can not get anything to open, and need this figured out ASAP!
    THANKS

    Sounds like something might have gone corrupt in DW, or possibly you updated your OS past DW. When DW starts acting up, I'll generally turn on my OS's hidden files and then try clearing the program cache and restoring preferences...
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    if clearing the cache doesn't help, go to...
    Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS6, Dreamweaver CC
    If you've recently installed OSX Mavericks or Yosemite, you might have inadvertently killed DW by removing the old Java SE6 that the older versions of DW still need to run. If that's the case, you can get it here:
