How do you change application used to play streaming file?

I can change the application used to open a file directly on my computer by going to the Get Info for the file. However, I am trying to get a streaming file to play using QuickTime instead of Real Player (it's a SDP file from a Darwin Streaming Server) and there is no file to "Get Info" on. Real seems to have the .sdp extension locked up. Long time ago, you used to be able to go to a control panel and change the default application for certain file types. I cannot seem to find that anymore under Tiger. Anyone know how to do this?

Ok, I sorted it out. You have to do the following:
a) Open System Preferences > Quick Time > Advanced > MIME Settings. Click on the "Streaming - Streaming movies" triangle to expand it and make sure that the button nest to "SDP stream descriptor" is checked. Quit System Preferences.
b) Launch Real Player and go to its Preferences > Media Types. Uncheck the "Real-Time Streaming Protocol" and "Scalable Multicast" buttons. Click on "Save Media Types" on bottom Left (if it ask you to quit your browser, allow it to do so). That should do it. As far as I can tell this does not affect the streaming of .ram files.

  • How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive

    How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

    The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.
    Regards.

  • How do you change an used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

    How do you cange a used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

    plug your ipad to your computer, open your itunes, click on the ipad icon, at the first page there is an option to "restore" ipad to its factory settings, click it. Don't remove USB connection, wait until it finishes wiping the data and it should place a new window that asks you to register the ipad.
    There you go, your iPad is sync with your itunes account under your name, its best to also use "Find my iPad" just in case it gets lost, you can track it from your computer. Very handy tool and its free!
    But if you want the data that is in the iPad, back up it first and sync the content to your library before restoring it to its factory settings
    Have a great day and enjoy your iPad

  • How do you change view options when opening a file?

    For some reason in CS5 when I choose File-Open it defaults to the "List  View" in Windows XP. I have set my windows so they all have the same  view (Detail-View) in the Control Panel. CS3 opens in Detail-View, but  all programs across the CS5 platform will default to List-View. Any  thoughts on how to change that? Has any one else noticed this? Thanks!

    Near as I can tell, after doing a bunch of Internet research, the dialog always defaults to list view in Windows XP.  Apparently changes were made in Vista to remember the last setting, but that doesn't apply to XP.
    I could not find any config settings or registry tweaks anywhere that would change the File-Open dialog behavior to put up Details view by default.
    I did, however, run across a downloadable freeware utility called "FileOpenPatcher" that patches the file commdlg32.dll in Windows XP ONLY so that you will see more columns of information by default in Windows File-Open dialogs.  I tested it with Photoshop Elements, which I had installed on an XP virtual machine.  It apparently stuffs some values into the DLL to change the defaults, and it appears to work on XP SP3.

    It requires a reboot after installing.
    This is now what I see after running FileOpenPatcher, when I choose File - Open:
    Disclaimer:  I did not write this software, and I only just found it on the Internet.  You will, of course, have to decide for yourself whether to trust it on your system.  Use it at your own risk.

  • How do you change the size of a photo file?

    I volunteer for an animal rescue organization, and I need to post some digital photos I took of some kittens I am fostering on petfinder.org as soon as possible. The photos I have are too large for the website to handle - I need to reduce the file size before they will accept them. How do I do this? I need to find out as quickly as I can so I can get these little guys posted and work on finding them homes. Any help would be extremely appreciated! (I know I have an old iPhoto program - should I be embarrassed? - and an old computer ... wish I had better equipment, believe me!)

    tinyfoo,
    the fastes and easiest way to reduce the size (pixels) is to go to your:
    iPhoto Menu > Share > Email > you should choose small or medium... and mail it to another account, open email, copy to desktop and you've got a reduced size of photo that will work nicely on most websites... you'll notice that directly below this window, you will see how large or small the file has gotten "Estimated Size", this refers to the same number of 500 in your post...
    You can actually do it another way, is to > Share > Export > choose "Scale No Larger Than:", here you need to ask your webmaster what size is preferred... fill in and export to your desktop...
    Otherwise, you would need to use an image edting software to "Optimize" image... Personally, I would use the email function... Best wishes on your project, Rick

  • How can you change data on a SQL 2012 application database that uses availability groups from BizTalk server?

    If you use the WCF-SQL adapter it is recommend that you set UseAmbientTransaction to true if you are changing data. I think this requires MSDTC to be enabled on the SQL server that you are changing the data on. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd787981.aspx)
    I think that Availability groups does not support MSDTC. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366279.aspx).

    How do you change the distance units in the new Maps application on Mavericks from KM to miles?

    The scale in Maps follows your regional settings in System Preferences > Language & Region > Region.
    Selecting United States, for example, will use English units (feet and statute miles).
    There may be other methods I'm unaware of.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.
