How to open Excel when Safari downloads

I am using Safari 7 in Mac OS X Mavericks
I download many Excel and Word documents during the work day. Pdf's open automatically, but not Excel or Word.
I have searched and found a few posts that say adding com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist to Library \ Preferences.
The contents of this file are:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

I have restarted Safari and it still won't auto-open the file.
Thanks,
Stephen

If the user is using a web browser you can just provide a link to the
file and let them download, open in their preferred editor, print or
whatever else they want to do.

How do i sing out from hotmail/ how to open camera when i chat with messenger

how to i sing out from hotmail????????... it says coudn't sign out because web brower cookie........
how to open camera when i chat using messenger?????????

Thanks for your help - I am frustrated that I can't figure this out. I am not getting any error messages but here is what happes. I plug in the IPAD and it shows up in the left hand colum in itunes but it does not sync to ITUNES. When I click on the IPAD, it shows me the tabs but that nothing is actually on the IPAD hard drive. When I click on transfer files manually, the "apply" button does not work. When I turn off the transfer files, the apply button still does not work. So next, I tried the music button, and it does ask whether to "apply" but when I click on apply, nothing happens. Under the music tab, it only shows music that I purchased from ITUNES but not all the music that I purchased on CD and transfered to ITUNES.

How to open PNGs within Safari

Ok so I've noticed lately that whenever I try to view a full size PNG image, Safari downloads it and opens it in Preview, I'd rather just view it within the broser Like I do with JPG and GIF images. does anyone know how to get it to open up in the browser? (Also if possible can it not open with Quicktime, I like to be able to view it at 100% and not just the size of my browser window)

Safari should only download a PNG file rather than display it when clicking on it if it was setup as a download and not a viewable image, or if you specifically chose to download it. Either way, Safari does support PNG files.
Once it downloads, have you tried a Get Info on the image file and used the Open with: dropdown menu to choose Safari as the default application, then clicked the Change All button below that to make it the default for all files of that type?
QuickTime will also open PNG files, and this can be set from System Preferences, > QuickTime > Advanced section. Click on the MIME Settings… button, then the disclosure triangle next to Images - Still image files, and check the box next to each file type you want QuickTime to open for you. Be sure to change the default application for those file types to QuickTime.

How to open Excel Template save it under a different name and then write and save data to it at regualar intervals

I have an excel template that I have created. I am opening that template, saving it under a different name, and then writing and saving data to that excel sheet at regular intervals. It is giving me an error 5, I understand what this means and I am trying to work around it. However after too many hours spent trying to figure it out, I have asked for any help or input. I have attached an example vi, not the actual one since it is very involved.
Thanks

This snippet encapsulates most of the previous suggestions, and adds a few of my own.
The first code shows one (simplified) way of building the output file name. It incorporates the Build Path function to combine Report File Path with the file name (don't need initial "\"), builds the File Name with Format into String, getting the Time part of the name from Format Date/Time String. I also use Build Path to get the Template path. Inside the For Loop, another Format into String gets the data that is placed in the 10 Excel cells. We don't write anything yet -- we're only filling in the cells in the WorkSheet (think of how you use Excel -- you could, but probably don't, save the WorkBook after every cell entry, you wait until you are all done and then do a Save, followed by closing Excel). Finally, when we are done, we save the file using the output name we want to use, then close Excel (which disposes of the Report Object). If we want to generate another report, with another (time-based) name, we can put this code into a sub-VI and simply call it again.
Don't worry if you don't have LabVIEW 2014 (which was used to save this snippet) -- most of the code comes from the original that you posted, so it should be a pretty simple edit to change that code to match this.

How to open excel files from email in macro enabled workbooks NOT 2003-2007 worksheets?

I have recently installed Office 365 and it was working great. I needed to open excel documents via email with the macro enabled option. Yesterday it flicked back to only giving me the option to open in 2003-2007 workbook so now I am having issues with the
macros. I am contracting and trying to get work out and this has now caused huge problems.
Am thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling. I did have older versions of ms office so maybe there is some residual content there to remove? I have tried to change the associations and protocols to open in excel macro enabled workbooks but these tick boxes
are greyed out and I do not know how to gain access to these. Have been hunting all through my computer system but do not know how to do this. Am no expert.
If someone could help I would really appreciate it otherwise will need to find some computer shop expert I suppose...urgently ha.
Thanks in advance

it's sound like excel 13 disable the macros, turn on it will fix your issue.
see here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/enable-or-disable-macros-in-office-files-HA010354316.aspx
ps: use the local admin to change the setting, the reason why the setting grey out.

Setting up Private Browsing window to open up when Safari icon is clicked on first.

Setting up Private Browsing window to open up when only Safari icon is clicked on first, and remains after shut down.

Hi css,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to click on Safari in your Dock and have it open a new Safari Window. As you said in your post, clicking on Safari in the Dock brings the Safari window forward. There are a couple of possibilities to help resolve this situation. You can control-click (right click if enabled) on Safari in your Dock which will give you the option to open a new window. You can also click and hold on Safari, otherwise known as Press, to display these same options.
Mac OS X: Additional features of the Dock - Apple Support
Mouse clicks and key combinations for the Dock
Control-click
Reveals contextual menu for item. Menu choices vary per application or file. When used on Dock separator, it reveals Dock preferences. There you can turn magnification and hiding on or off, change the position of the Dock on screen, and change the minimization effect. Choose Dock Preferences to see more options.

How to open Excel in JSP

Hi,
I want to open Excel application by clicking on link which should open the file which is in <table><tr><td>
format.
I could able to do it by setting content type but the worksheet is opening in the browser itself and
not as a seperate excel application.

This code is the one to use to open an Excel in a browser.
I'm trying to open a download pop-up but for the moment I didn't find the isue...
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
String format = request.getParameter("format");
if ((format != null) && (format.equals("excel"))) {
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename="name.xls"");
} To download the page, you must change the page content and download a page with the extension .csv. Microsoft regognizes an excel file an directly open it. So you must force IE to open the pop-up. You must set this:
page contentType="application/download "
response.setContentType("application/download ");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=Database.csv");
The first part of the answer is correct I tested it, but the second part I'm still working on it.
Here is the link to my question on this subject, if anyone can help!

Hello,
Perhaps this will help. Open an Excel file, select a sheet, range then set a value, save then close. The idea here is not to write or save but demo a few basic operations.
Also note 'as is' all memory is cleaned up without resorting to what many do, force the garbage collector. This is important if objects are not cleaned up it is very possible in extreme cases to bring a machine down so one should ensure all objects are cleaned
up which only comes from well written code be it C# or VB.NET

ITunes opens automatically when I download music

When I download music my iTunes automatically opens and adds the new file to my library. Is there any way to stop this? I want to add the new files after I have reviewed and renamed them.

You have two things going on.
When you play a song in iTunes, it automatically adds it to the library. There is no option to do otherwise.
Apparently, you also have iTunes set as your default player for files of type MP3. Pick another player (I like Winamp) to use as your default. This will allow you to play/review new files in the other player, without iTunes knowing about it. Then, if and when you wish, you can add them to your iTunes library.

IMac: How to open/save a Safari window of tabs on another screen page?

I would like to open another Safari window on a new page in order to scroll between the two screens on my iMac.
But when I open a new Safari window it opens ontop of the present Safari window ... (not - as hoped for - on a separate screen).
Can I open and save a new window on another screen. Please advise me on this if possible. Thank you.

Hello patongandy,
It sounds like you are opening a new window in Safari, but it is opening on the main display and you would like to move it to your other monitor. You can do this with mission control as outlined in the following article:
OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5891
Using Mission Control to organize windows and full-screen apps
App windows are assigned to a single space. You can use Mission Control to see all of the Spaces assigned to each display and to move them. To move a Space, drag it from one display to the other.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Safari fails to open page when other downloads are in progress

I have a 2.8GHz 4GB Ram machine with Mac OS X 10.5.4
I have a broadband connection - approximately 500 Kbps
It seems that ever time I have something downloading(e.g. a file from iTunes ) and I try to view pages with Safari I get the "Safari Can't open the page ........ because server not responding" message.
It's as if Safari isn't able to share the internet connection !@£$£@*!
If there are no other downloads in progress, then web pages load no problem.
Anyone got any ideas ?

Depending on the server software used for the downloads it may be using up all of your bandwidth leaving little for Safari.
Use the Safari Activity window to see how the page elements load while your download is occurring.
If you see "timed out" messages then you're going to have troubles.

Safari: how to autofill filename when using 'download linked file as' option

I usually need to download email attachment to specific folders, not to the downloads folder. When I use "download linked file as" I get the option to choose the location, which is great, but the filename is '0'. I don't want to have to cut and paste the filename every time - why doesn't Safari grab the filename automatically, as it does when you just click download? Is there a way around this? It's a big workflow issue for me, and the reason I switched to Chrome previously .. surely there's a fix for this basic function though?
I'm downloading from Gmail running in my browser.
Safari: Version 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1)
Mac OS X 10.9.5

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
