FF5 download is offering open with Word for .xls docs. in Options|Applications Excel has a Word icon ! Others also have this problem.

Problem does not happen with IE9

Thanks edmeister. I'm raising this more because I think this has come through with FF5, so the update will be causing work for some and grief for others.
Yes we can go to manage file types, but the problem might be better resolved by being stopped at source.
I have been getting email requests for a download from people who lack the savvy or are too busy to bother. If it isn't made easy for them, they just go elsewhere.
If it is an FF5 update issue, I'm not really the right guy to fix it.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

    Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears

  • The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    They are not from Apple/iTunes, they are phishing attempts to try and get your account and payment details - don't click on any of the links in them.
    If you still have the emails then you could forward them to Apple : [email protected]

    Try resetting the iPad. Simultaneously hold down the Home and the On buttons until the iPad shuts off. Ignore the off slider if it should appear. This should take only about ten seconds or so. Once shut down is compete, turn the iPad back on.

  • Can someone check if they also have this problem with music videos?

    I have converted a 1 hour music DVD using Videora and it plays fine as a movie. I only want to listen to it so in order to not have to have the screen on I changed the type to 'music video' using Get Info and specified artist and album names. This displays the DVD in the Music menu as well as the Music video menu.
    When I play it from the music video menu it is ok but from the music menu I get regular pauses of about 1-2 seconds every 3 - 4 minutes when playing it.
    I have tried different DVD's and also different dvd to ipod software.
    I would appreciate someone else letting me know if they have this problem.
    Thanks

    Doh, thanks Lane, setting TV Out to ON fixes the problem for me.
    I guess the iPod uses a different process (or cashing) for videos played from the music menu to when they are played from the Video menu.

  • I am unable to open documents in Photoshop CC. Do other people have this problem? Is this a bug?

    I am getting the above messages when trying to open a document in Photoshop CC. My photoshop has the most recent update. I don't have a ton of stuff open in other programs. Usually this will happen after working with Photoshop for about 10-20 minutes. When I get these messages I have to close Photoshop and reopen it to open documents and start working again, only to have to do the same thing 10-20 minutes later when files don't open. Is anyone else having this problem? Please let me know if I can provide any more information.

  • I just updated to iOS 6 and my WiFi keeps disconnecting from my iPhone. I did not have this problem with iOS 5... What do I do?

    Hello,
    I have no idea what to do. Every time I try to connect, within seconds it disconnects... Because of this, I cant update my apps because they are over 50MB. So most of my apps are frozen...

    I also have this problem. One additional symptom is that though I can log on momentarily, almost immediately it disconnects me from WiFi, then brings up a "Log In" page with Apple's version of a 404 error. The URL that it appears to be trying to connect to is www.apple.com. Have tried powering down my phone, cycling my modem and router, re-entering my AppleID, forgetting the network and rejoining. Nada. Home network using Airport. This didn't happen while at work where we don't use Airport.
    This only happens with my iPhone 4S. My iPad 2 works just fine.

    I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.

    I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
    I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
    As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

  • Temporarily changing the "open with" app for a batch of files

    I've written a number of scripts which have been saved as application bundles. One of the resource folders (named "Image Files") contains all the image files used in the script -- but the image files may have a variety of default applications for opening.
    I'm working on a separate script to facilitate editing the application bundles if and as necessary, and editing the image files is part of that. I need the option of opening the image files with an application other than the file's default application -- for example, I might want to open the image files with Photoshop.
    In my editing script I can easily enough get a list of the image files. But to open them with, say, Photoshop, I find that I have to use a Photoshop tell block and the full path to each file as it is called (otherwise it opens with its default application). If there are hundreds of image files, that's a lot of work!
    I'm seeking a "global" command that will tell all files in folder "Image Files" to open with app "Photoshop" (just in this script, as I don't want to change the defaults).
    Possible?

    I probably didn't explain my requirements thoroughly
    Your suggestion:
    "You mean like:
    tell application "Finder"
    open every file of folder "Macintosh HD:path:to:Image Files" using "Macintosh HD:Applications:PhotoShop.app"
    end tell"
    isn't quite it.
    (For one thing, that has the somewhat alarming result of opening all the image files in the folder simultaneously, and there may be hundreds.)
    In plain English, what I had in mind was more like:
    "Set the 'open with' application of every file in folder 'Macintosh HD:path:to:Image Files' to Adobe Photoshop.app"
    such that, if I were to have those files in a list, and were to open them one at a time, they'd open with Photoshop without further instruction -- this without affecting the default applications (or 'open with' applications) of the files from which those files were duplicated (assuming that there are such 'original' files).
    Since this still may be unclear, here's another explanation:
    • Say I have ten .jpg files on the desktop, all set to 'open with' Preview.
    • I duplicate those ten files to the Image Files folder of the application bundle.
    • If I open any one of those files at the desktop, I want it to open in Preview.
    • But if I open any one of those files in the Image Files folder, I want it to open in Photoshop. (The
    files in the Image Files folder could each have its 'open with' application reset manually, but
    with hundreds of files I'd much prefer AS to do that. As far as I can tell, doing that -- manually
    or with AS -- would result in different 'open with' settings for a file on the desktop and the
    corresponding file in the Image Files folder, which is basically what I'm after.
    Can I get AS to do this?

  • Ipad2 doesn't sync with my kindle. When I open the kindle app I have to search for the correct page. Does anyone else have this problem?

    When I open the kindle app on iPad 2 I have to search for the correct page. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
    "The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
    Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
    Not that you care. >.<

  • For some reason with pages program the cursor will no longer appear when I bring up a blank document, so I cannot start any typing.  Anyone else have this problem?

    With my ipages program for some reason now when I open a blank document no cursor appears so that I can start typing.  anyone else have this issu?

    I gather you have Pages '09? Even though you haven't said so. You definitely don't have "ipages".
    It sounds like you have opened a blank Layout template, which has nothing on the blank page for you to type into.
    Either insert a Textbox or Shape, or create a new document using a Word Processing template, they are listed in the Sidebar.
