Always open *.pps with PowerPoint

I received an email with a *.pps attachment (i.e., a PowerPoint attachment). The tool tip says Mime-type:application/vnd.ms-powerpoint. However, when I double click the icon, I get the cannot find an application error message. So I navigate thru the choose application menu trail and select PowerPoint. Then when I try to open that same icon again I still get the cannot find an application error message. Is there way to force Mail to remember to always open *.pps attachments with PowerPoint?

hi there--
try exporting the attachment to the desktop. then click just once on the file to highlight it and then press apple and i on the keyboard. from here, go down to the "open with" section in the middle of the information window. select other if powerpoint is not available, then specify powerpoint in the new window that comes up. you can select to always open this by checking the box, and then make sure back in the information window, you click the "change all" button. this will tell all powerpoint documents to open with the powerpoint application.

Hi
Maybe this helps you out. Credits to Lawrence Finch, Apple Discussions.
Message bodies are not downloaded until you open the folder containing the message. If you have a POP3 account it is possible that the message has been downloaded and deleted from the server by another mail program running on a home or office computer, so the message is gone by the time you are ready to read it. If you have a POP3 account you should make sure that any other computers that access your mail are off or at least have automatic email retrieval disabled.
If you have an Exchange account there really IS an issue. When you set up an Exchange account on the iPhone it gets its settings from the Outlook client on your computer. In some cases this setting doesn't work right on the iPhone. So if you have this problem AND your mail server is Exchange do not set up the iPhone as an Exchange client. Instead, create the account on the iPhone as an IMAP account.
If a message is very larger (probably over 1 MB or so) the iPhone won't download it. This could be why it happens with only some messages.
Finally, if you have it set up as an IMAP account and it still happens you are very unusual, as just about everyone who has reported this problem is using either Exchange or POP3. (Unless it happens on very large messages only)."

When I use Tab Groups, can I have some tabs that are always open together with a group, and just switching the groups that are besides the "always showing" tabs?

I like to have some tabs always open, like for example the facebook page, while others I need only occasionally, like Ebay / Work / Fun (which I could put into Tab Groups). So I was wondering if it is possible to have the following configuration:
Always open Tabs (e.g. Facebook, Myspace) and then next to that ONE of the Tab Groups (e.g. Group Ebay Stuff and Group Work Stuff and Group Fun Stuff)
or alternatively have TWO Tab Groups open at the same time, like Group A and Group B, and then switch to Group A and Group C, then Group A and Group D, then Group A and Gourp B again.

Hmm, well you can right click a tab you want always open and click "Pin as App Tab". I personally don't have much experience with Tab Groups, I'm just learning how to use them.
Hope this helps!

Background music is lost when opening pps with keynote

Export to PDF from Autocad: Acrobat always opens PDF with 'layers panel and page' shown.

Hello,
Whenever I export to PDF from Autocad, Adobe Acrobat opens the PDF with the 'Layers Panel and Page' shown.
Each time I have to manually go to 'Properties' and select 'Page only', close 'Properties' and close the PDF and select to save the changes, in order to show the just the page.
Is there a way to make PDFs always export to 'Page only' automatically as default?
Thanks!

Thakns Peter, I had seen this thread, but it doesn't really address my issue. I've exported individual chapters from the book file, all with success, so I know there isn't a file corruption issue. The problem seems to do more with memory allocation/usage.
I have tried: quitting and then immediately exporting the file, and even rebooting and then relanuching and exporting. Both of these allow me to get a few pages farther along, but still not through the entire book.
I remember back in the day there used to be a setting for how much RAM/dis c space was allocated to a certain applicatino (I knowm it was a long time ago). I didn't know if there might be something like this hidden somewhere

When I start firefox, the Firefox 4 welcome page always opens, along with my home page.

I have a mac, am running version 10.6. I recently updated firefox to version 4.0.1.
After updating to the new version, and restarting firefox, it opened to the "welcome to version 4" page here are all the changes, etc, etc, in addition to opening my home page in a separate tab.
However, it never stopped doing that. Every time I quit firefox and restart it opens two tabs: one with the welcome page, one with my home page.
In the General tab of Preferences it still lists my correct home page as the home page. I have tried changing my homepage to a different website and to a blank page, but whenever I quit and restart it again opens the two tabs (and the homepage gets reset in my preferences back to what it was).
Any thoughts??
Thanks!

See these articles for some suggestions:

Keynote Saves .key files to default open with Powerpoint

I've been finding that whenever I create a new keynote file and save it somewhere, if I double click on the file it will automatically attempt to open it with powerpoint. After powerpoint opens it will obviously say it does not recognize the file. I can correctly open the file with keynote by right-clicking and manually opening with keynote.
If I open 'get info' on the file I will see that it is selected to open with powerpoint. I can open the drop down menu to change the opening option and see that powerpoint is selected but keynote is listed right below with '(default)' beside it. If I select keynote (default) and close the drop down menu it will stay as keynote and the file will correctly open with keynote all subsequent times.
However, if I click the 'change all' button below to set all files of this type to the selected option (keynote - default) then my selection automatically changes back to powerpoint in the drop down menu. It is really weird and confusing.
Any help?

I've posted this many times & others have posted their methods more than once as well.
This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

Change the Always Open with .....

First time I downloaded I clicked the always open download with Adobe, which was a mistake. How do I "undo" that?
Thanks.

Click the download once to select it, then press Command-I ("Get Info" in File menu). In the Get Info window, look for this section -
Select the app you want from the Open With pulldown menu. If you want to make a global fix for all items of that type, then click the "Change All" button.

Will not open up with the home page I have specifed on navigator toolbar I have gone through all the settings but it reverts to another home page when I restart the PC

I want my page to open up with google which it has until lately when I downloaded jzip and since then it always opens up with http://search.jzip.com/ instead of http://www.google.com.au/ When it comes up with jzip I change it to google and request it to be my home page and it stays that way till I restart the pc and it reverts back to izip and I have to go through the same process to change back to google, it never used to do this at times when I have down loaded information it has changed but I have always been able to revert to the correct home page and it stay that way but not any more.
The jzip is in the navigator toolbar section as are other websites but this is the only one that keeps being used as the home page hope you can find a solution as it is very annoying.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for jzip via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all jzip related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.

Iphoto thumbnails open blank with second user

We have a two user macbook pro. When we load new photos onto iphoto on one 'side' the photos load fine and can be seen by that user. When we switch sides to the other user the thumbnails are there but they open blank. This seems to be a new problem. The thumbnails always open fine with the user that loads the photos, but not with the other user.
Both users are using the same iphoto library.
Any ideas, do I have a setting wrong somewhere ????

Thanks Terence,
I have found by right clicking on the photos the problem is permissions. If I rebuild as you say I think it will temporarily fix the problem as I have done this before and it does. As it starts to rebuild it asks to fix the permissions and voila its fixed though it does go through the process. My problem is that I need to rebuild every time I upload photos.
When one user uploads the photos it seems to create a folder in the iphoto library but the permissions within that particular date folder are allocated to that user rather than all users. I have the library in the shared user account and the permissions I have set for the iphoto library as everyone read write access. How do I get it to upload and give permission to all users when it does. Is there a setting somewhere?
Thanks

Can't open gif with transparent background?

Hey everyone, I'm just having a little issue with Photoshop at the moment.
I keep trying to open up some animated gifs that have transparent backgrounds, because I want to edit them and delete some frames . I know for a fact that the backgrounds are transparent because I've hosted them on websites before.
Now, when I try to open up the gifs, i go to: import> video frames to layers> type in *.* > open gif
The gifs ALWAYS open up with a white background. Is there any way around this so they open with the transparent background? Could I try opening them a different way maybe?
Thanks in advance

GIFs do not have genuine transparency. Only a specific color in teh palette is tagged as being transparent on saving, and that is done in Save for Web. You are misunderstanding how the file format works and the behavior is therefore otherwise correct. Your only option to preview that transparency in PS would be to edit the color palette under Image --> Mode --> Color Table or convert to RGB mode and remove the fill using selections. Anyway, moot point. No matter how you do it, you cannotr circumvent teh file format's limitations.
