2 apps...1 new, 1 old.  How to force docs to open in old app...

Greetings...
We've installed Quark 7 for testing purposes, but still want all Quark docs to open in Quark 6.5 by default. But of course double-clicking them forces them to open in v7.
We've tried doing the whole "Get Info -> Open With -> Change all" method, and the Get Info dialog automatically reverts back to Quark 7.
I realize it probably has something to do with the launch services cache, and was wondering if there was terminal command or something that can be done with the Plist Editor to change this.

I'm not familiar with Quark, but I think how it generally works is that when an application is selected in "Open with" and set to be the default for a given kind of file, it is the 'CFBundleIdentifier' that is recorded. If more than one application has the same 'CFBundleIdentifier', then the document is opened with the application with the matching 'CFBundleIdentifier' that has the highest 'CFBundleVersion' and I don't know if that aspect can be changed.
If it is an application that tolerates some tinkering (Quark might not be), then it might be possible either to change the test version's 'CFBundleIdentifier', or modifying its 'CFBundleVersion' lower or higher depending on how you want it to behave...

    How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.
    Thanks!

    No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.

    Have you copied your iTunes library over to your new computer?  Either way, you'll need to restore the iPod using the new iTunes library in order to sync it with the new library.

    I have read a number of other threads regarding the loss of Messages, however, I am not aware of the reason it is happening. Check on the right side of this message under more like this and see if you can find an answer.
    As to your question about downgrading software, there is no Apple supported method for downgrading software.

    If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
    Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
    Problems resulting from those modifications can't be discussed in these forums, due to the Terms of Use

  • Just got a new mac - how can I keep working on my old iWeb site??

    Hi friends,
    I just migrated all my old data from an external hd onto my new MacBook. I see my website data, and I put it in the Sites folder, but opening iWeb prompts me to start a new website. How do I continue working on my website, i.e., open my old files in iWeb?
    Thanks!

    iWeb '08 stores your website data in a domain.sites2 file located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
    You need to copy this to the same location on your new Mac and then double click the domain file to launch iWeb for the first time only. After that you can launch your site from the application.
    If you open a new site in iWeb first you can save the blank domain file in a new folder for starting new sites.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • How to force refresh in iOS 7 Calendar app?

    Is there any way to manually initiate a refresh in the Calendar app in iOS 7? (I'm using iCloud to sync my personal and shared calendars with two Macs and two other users.)
    In the iOS Calendar app, at least between the introduction of iCloud and iOS 6, you could show the list of calendars and then tap the refresh icon (two arrows in a circle) at the bottom of the list. In many other apps you can do so by pulling the main list view down and releasing. But I have not found any way to force iOS 7 to do this. If there is no such mechanism, consider this a feature request.
    "Wait until the app refreshes by itself" is not really a valid answer to this question. Sometimes it just doesn't, and a manual refresh might help break a log jam. And sometimes you're about to get on a plane and need to be sure your calendar is up to date before you go into Airplane Mode.

    I just did this successfully after the described methods above failed. (I could not push, fetch, or manually refresh)
    Note; this is not a refresh, but a quick delete / re-install
    1) settings; icloud; mail off, calendars off. (temporary, and not sure it's neccessary)
    2) back to settings; mail contacts calendars; gmail account; delete.
    3) add acount; reinstall your google account! (only took a few seconds to load everything back from google servers)
    4) turn your icloud back ups on again if you wish and back up new data. I dont need to back up my gmail neccessarily, neither my calendar, now that I know how to reload direct from Google.
    Why I wanted to figure this out;
    I got an I phone replacement, (Thank you Apple!) but my i-cloud backup had filled up over a month ago, ( I chose to ignore)  so I lost only the new data up to today's replacement ( calendar entries,  texts, a  new contact or two, and a month's worth of the only game I play.. real racing 3.. errr..so i just deleted the game:-) 

  • New iPhone - How do I move everything from my old one?

    In my left hand I'm holding my old iPhone 4. In my right hand I'm holding my new iPhone 4S.
    How do I do to make an identical copy from my old phone to the new?
    I'm asking you because I have had a lot of trouble with this recently, and now I want to do it correct.
    Please advise.
    Tia,
    /andreas

    Thanks for the answers. This is the obvious way to do it, but unfortunately doesn't work.
    I have some third party apps whos information doesn't come along (eg Filemaker, Downcast, Omnifoucs).
    Furthermore, my messages (SMS) and call history doesn't come along.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Server app replacement not detected - how to force?

    I just applied the OS X Server 4.1 (I was running 4.0.3 previously) on a 10.10.3 system. But the 'server app replace,emit detected' message has not appeared (even after 10 minutes and 1 reboot for another software update). If I launch 'Server' it still says 4.0.3 in About.
    So it seems my server is in some kind of limbo state with a pending server update. How can I force it to recognise the new server app and start the normal migration process?
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Put the current server.app in the trash, reboot and download the new server.app 4.1 from your app store recent purchases.
    Trashing the app might already give you a replacement message.
    That should do the trick.
    Goodluck

  • One of my app tabs for some reason opened in a new window; how do I get it back w/other app tabs on original window?

    I have 5 frequently-used websites on app tabs on my Firefox browser window. I've had these since I first saw the update about app tabs, and I have never before had a problem with it.
    Today, I was working in one tab, and realized I needed to check something on the website at another app tab. I have done that sort of thing many times. But for some reason today, when I clicked on that other app tab, there seemed to be a long wait like it was working hard to make the switch, then suddenly a new Mozilla Firefox window opened with the only tab being the "another app tab" that I had clicked on.
    That particular app tab is now missing from my original browser window.
    I must've clicked something by accident or hit another key while I was clicking with the mouse on the app tab that I wanted to look at. I have no idea why it opened in its own window and disappeared from my app tabs on the original window.
    How do I get that app tab back with the others on the original browser window? Is there any way other than simply starting over and re-pinning that site as an app tab?
    If I have to re-pin it on the original window, is there a way to make that app tab the 1st in sequence the way it was before it opened in its own window? It is my most-commonly-used app tab, so I'd really like it to be the first in line, so to speak.
    Thanks.

    Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window.<br />
    Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.<br />
