How to change what app opens a certain file type downloaded in GoogleChrome

How do you change what program is the default to open a certain type of file? My specific issue is torrent files downloaded in Chrome automatically open in Limewire but I want it to open in Vuze. Is this a Chrome setting or an OSX setting that I need to change? In finder the torrents show as Limewire files and when I click "open with" I can select Vuze, tell it to always use Vuze but it only applies to each individual file and not new ones that I download.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I found the answer myself - go to get info on a file and change the program and select apply to all. This seems to have worked for all new files

Select a file in question. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Open With section select the desired default application from the drop down menu. Then click on the Change All button.

  • What app opens a .SMB file

    I created a backup of a my Dad's desktop Mac (the old one with the handle). I don't know the OS version. It was about two years ago. I have the backup file on a hard disk. the file extension says .SMB I need to know restore files from that backup but I don't know what software I used to make the backup file.
    I think I might have used an program called Backup from Apple?
    Any suggestions as to how I can open the .SMB file?
    Thanks,

    Here's the info on .smb. http://www.filesuffix.com/extension/smb.html

  • How can I get the open counts on file type items?

    One of the managers' point of interesting on Portal usage is to know how frequently items are opened to view.
    I need to preapre a report to show managers which items (file type) are opened most frequently? and who opened the item most?
    How can I do it?
    Thanks,

I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    Are you saying that you bought a used or second hand Mac? In North America an open box Mac usually refers to a display model used in a store.
    There is mixed info on this issue. Some folks in the US have called Apple Care and requested that the iLife apps prebundled with this specific Mac be released from original owner's Apple ID so the new owner can Accept the apps into their Apple ID, with success. Folks in Europe report that when making the same request of Apple Care they are met with resistance and are unsuccessful.
    YMMV
    The sad thing is that if Apple Care will not release the apps, then the owner of a second hand Mac cannot even purchaase the apps on their Mac! To buy the apps with their own account, they would need to find an older Mac running at least OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with a Mac App Store (MAS), that also has never had the MAS versions of the iLife apps installed on it.

  • How do you change what programs open on starting up?

    How do you change what programs open on start up?

    By changing the list of login items for your user account in System Preferences, and if Lion is automatically reopening applications, which ones are running when the computer is shut down.

  • How to change bucket capacity for a certain date range (duration)?

    Hi,
    I need to update the bucket capacities of Resource at Vendor location in APO live cache for a particular period using BAPI_RSSRVAPS_CHANGEMULTI.
    Here I am executing BAPI by passing -
    Import Parameters:
    LOGICAL_SYSTEM
    COMMIT_CONTROL
    PLANNING_VERSION
    Tables:
    RESOURCE_HEAD
    (RESOURCE = Resource  " Test123
    LOCATION = Vendor Number/Loctaion
    CAPACITY_A = 5000.000
    NUM_OF_PERIODS = 001
    PERIOD = 02    " Day Wise
    UTIL_BUCKET = 100.000 )
    RESOURCE_HEAD_X
    (All corresponding fields X)
    RESOURCE_QUANMODEL
    (RESOURCE = Resource  " Test123
    VERSION = 01
    ENDDA = 02/25/2011
    BEGDA = 02/21/2011
    QUANMODEL = 8000 )
    RESOURCE_QUANMODEL_X
    (All corresponding fields X)
    [ I have a capacity variance:
    Resource = Test123; Capacity Varient = 01; Valid From = 02/21/2011
    Valid To = 02/25/2011; Bucket Util Rate = 100.000; Qty/Rate definition = 8000 ]
    Now, while I execute /SAPAPO/RES01 to display Capacity for that resource-Location-PlanningVersion, Its showing that 'Bucket Capacity' and 'SNP Bucket Capacity' get changed into 5000. But this change happend for all the days and not only for the duration I passed into Bapi (From BEGDA to ENDDA).
    How to change bucket capacity for a certain date range (duration)? Any help please.
    Thanks
    Roy

    I did it myself. Hence closing the thread.
    Solution:
    1. Get RESUID from /SAPAPO/RESKEY table by passing Resource as NAME.
    2. Call Function Module /SAPAPO/CRES_QUANPROF_UPDATE
    3. Call Function Module /SAPAPO/CRES_SAVE_FROM_BT
    For further help, change manually a single record in the 'capacity profile' in TXN /SAPAPO/RES01 and debug both the FM mentioned above.

  • I couldn't update os in ipad1,how to know what apps are supported in os5

    HOw to know what apps supported by iPad 1

    Try this link to find apps whose current version is compatible with iOS 5.1.1 and below : https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/support/advice-and-articles/finding-a pps-for-older-devices#5.1.1
    Some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps, so if it's an app is free you could try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes and see if you can then download a previous compatible version via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad : Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support . If the app is paid-for then contact the developer first and see if that will work, don't buy it and then find that it doesn't

  • Changing default open with for file type for all users

    hello
    can I change the default app to open a specific file type for all users and not juist for my user?
    i am admin for my mac mini.
    tnx
    gil

    What applications are offered for open with depends on the application itself informing the system it can open certain files, plus your own custom selections for opening files. Evidently the alternate app you want to use does not claim to be able to open the files you are assigning it. If you have a plist editor and know how to use it you could edit the info.plist file inside the application itself to add the file type you want to the application's declaration of file types it will open. Then restart so the system will read that declaration. I think it would be far easier to simply launch the application and then drop a file you want it to open onto its icon in the Dock.

    hi i am using inphone 5 when i am downloading whats app Audio Notes where it it downloading i am not able to find

    If you mean that the iphone 5 *was* previously activated and now it asks to be activated again, then..
    Did you change SIM cards (and is the phone locked to a carrier or not)?
    Was the iphone previously jailbroken?  (Did you buy it new from Apple or a carrier, or was it from a "third party"?)
