"Always Open with" check box forces you to use quicktime player, can't change it to VLC. Any help or Apple is really trying to take over???

When I Open an .avi movie with VLC and check the box "always open with", a dialog shows up saying that I can't change the item "...avi" to always open with the selected application. The item is either locked or damaged, or in a folder you don't have permission to modify (error code - 54)
So in summary I can't use VLC to always open .avi files. The file is in a folder that I created in my desktop with all permissions and working perfect (not damaged) I am the admin and owner of the Laptop and file.
The same happens when I check the box for .mov or .mp4 files but with them I don't even get the dialog box with the massage, it just opens directly with vlc and when you think it went through, I double click to open the file and it opens with quicktime. No matter how many times I check the box "Always open with" It will always open with quicktime.
On my other laptop, an old Sony Vaio with Windows 7 I never had this kind of stress. Why does this kind of thing only happens with Apple?
Can anyone help?

  • Once and for all, how does one stop losing music on IPOD TOUCH? WHAT settings do you people use to stop losing music? Does anybody have any help with this? Does any body have any help at all? APPLE offers no help!!!!!!!!!

    I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need help to stop this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First of all, is the music only disappearing from your iPod, or from your iTunes Library as well?
    From your other thread, I gather you swap between Manually Managing and Syncing. This is a bad idea, it will lead to confusion on your part about what should be on the iPod. You'll make a choice that iTunes later overrides - because you've told it to. Choose one method or the other, not both.
    Peresonally, I recommend using the iTunes Sync process. Using Sync will not prevent you from deciding what's on your iPod. You will still have a free and full choice in that. The Sync process will however, make it far easier for you to put everything back onto your iPod in the event that you need to Restore your iPod, or when you replace this iPod with a newer one.
    Back to your issue though. Is the music, missing from your iPod, still in your Library?

  • Ever since I installed IOS7, my Iphone 5 has always opened with a message that I have given an incorrect voicemail password.   I have never put in a voicemail password, so I cannot get into the site to correct this.   Any suggestions?

    Ever since I installed IOS7, my Iphone 5 (10 months old) has always opened with a message that my voicemail password is incorrect.    But I've never at any time put in a voicemail password, so I can't get into the site to put this right, and it didn't happen before I installed IOS7.  The message goes away as soon as I cancel it, but it's very irritating.  Any suggestions?

    Call your carrier & have them reset your voicemail, then set things up again. Most carriers require a password for voicemail.

  • Firefox always opens with a search box rather than my homepage.

    I have dragged the icon over to the homepage icon, and responded "yes" that I want to set it as my homepage. It always opens with a search box instead. http://www.searchqu.com/406 is the URL. How can I get it to use my homepage?

    i ran into a simuler problem using firefox 4 with win 7. browser would not display web address and when you open the browser it would display a blank page. also back, forward, and refresh button's where grayed out and could not click hem.
    after checking plugins i was able to get it working with disableing java deployment toolkit.

  • How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

    On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

    The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
    There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • When I click the iCloud button I get a browser with check boxes, not slider buttons and it does not have a "backup and storage" button.  So I cannot set up backup.

    When I open my iCloud browser it looks different than "normal." It shows the list with check boxes, not slider on-off buttons.  It dos not show a "storage and backup" button so I cannot set up my backup. What is wrong?

    If see something like the image below it's because you are looking at the iCloud settings on your Mac, not on an iOS device (which has sliders).  Storage & Backup isn't in the Mac settings because you cannot back up your Mac to iCloud.  Only iOS devices can back up to iCloud.  On a Mac, you can get information about your iCloud account storage by looking at the green usage bar at the bottom and by clicking the "Manage..." button on the bottom right.

  • Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine.  This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine.  This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

    Hi,
    When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
    When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
    The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
    These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
    Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
    In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
    Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
    This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
    You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
    You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
    I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
    There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
    No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
    Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
    In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
    In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

    A classical report is a program that generates a single list, which must contain all of the required detail information.
    1) This procedure may result in extensive lists from which the user has to pick the relevant data.
    2) For background processing, this is the only possible method. After starting a background job, there is no way of influencing the program.
    3) The desired selections must be made beforehand and the list must provide detailed information.
    4) For dialog sessions, there are no such restrictions.
    5) The user is present during the execution of the program and can control and manipulate the program flow directly.
    6) To be able to use all advantages of the online environment, classical reporting was developed into interactive reporting.
    ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    Advantages.
    Collapse multiple reports into one, drastically cutting down your report development time
    Save many hours using built-in ALV sorting, subtotaling and filtering capabilities
    Add conditional structures into your ALV report: No programming required!
    Combine ALV with display variants to meet a wide range of reporting requirements more easily
    Dynamically reorder column layouts and add/subtract fields
    Enable users and analysts to save their own personalized variants
    All the definitions of internal tables, structures and constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.
    1. SIMPLE REPORT.
    The important function modules are
    a. Reuse_alv_list_display
    b. Reuse_alv_fieldcatalog_merge
    c. Reuse_alv_events_get

    e. Reuse_alv_grid_display
    A. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY : This is the function module which prints the data.
    The important parameters are :
    I. Export :
    i. I_callback_program : report id
    ii. I_callback_pf_status_set : routine where a user can set his own pf status or change the functionality of the existing pf status

    II. Tables :
    i. t_outtab : internal table with the data to be output
    B. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE : This function module is used to populate a fieldcatalog which is essential to display the data in ALV. If the output data is from a single dictionary table and all the columns are selected, then we need not exclusively create the field catalog. Its enough to mention the table name as a parameter(I_structure name) in the REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. But in other cases we need to create it.
    The Important Parameters are :
    I. Export :
    i. I_program_name : report id
    ii. I_internal_tabname : the internal output table
    iii. I_inclname : include or the report name where all the dynamic forms are handled.
    II Changing
    ct_fieldcat : an internal table with the type SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV which is
    declared in the type pool SLIS.
    C. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET : Returns table of possible events for a list type
    Parameters :
    I. Import :
    Et_Events : The event table is returned with all possible CALLBACK events
    for the specified list type (column 'NAME'). For events to be processed by Callback, their 'FORM' field must be filled. If the field is initialized, the event is ignored. The entry can be read from the event table, the field 'FORM' filled and the entry modified using constants from the type pool SALV.
    II. Export :
    I_List_type :
    0 = simple list REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    1 = hierarchcal-sequential list REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY
    2 = simple block list REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND
    3 = hierarchical-sequential block list
    REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND
    D. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE : This is used in the Top-of-page event to print the headings and other comments for the list.
    Parameters :
    I. it_list_commentary : internal table with the headings of the type slis_t_listheader.
    This internal table has three fields :
    Typ : ‘H’ – header, ‘S’ – selection , ‘A’ - action
    Key : only when typ is ‘S’.
    Info : the text to be printed
    E. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY : A new function in 4.6 version, to display the results in grid rather than as a preview.
    Parameters : same as reuse_alv_list_display

    This report illustrates how to add and remove lines to a table using the ALV Grid Control and how to
    implement the saving of the new data.
    BCALV_EDIT_05
    This example shows how to use checkboxes within an ALV Grid Control. You learn:
    (1) how to define a column for editable checkboxes for an attribute of your list
    (2) how to evaluate the checked checkboxes
    (3) how to switch between editable and non-editable checkboxes
    BCALV_EDIT_06
    This example shows how to define a dropdown listbox for all cells of one column in an editable ALV
    Grid Control.

    This example shows how to define dropdown listboxes for particular cells of your output table.
    BCALV_EDIT_08
    This report implements an ALV Grid Control with an application specific F4 help. The following aspects
    are dealt with:
    (1) how to replace the standard f4 help
    (2) how to pass the selected value to the ALV Grid Control
    (3) how to build an f4 help, whose value range depend on a value of another cell.

    The ALV Grid Control is a tool with which you can output non-hierarchical lists in a
    standardized format. The list data is displayed as a table on the screen.
    The ALV Grid Control offers a range of interactive standard list functions that users need
    frequently (find, sort, filter, calculate totals and subtotals, print, print preview, send list,
    export list (in different formats), and so on. These functions are implemented in the
    proxy object class. You as the programmer have the possibility to turn off functions not
    needed. In most cases the implementations of the standard functions provided by the
    control are sufficient. However, if required, you can adjust these implementations to
    meet application-specific needs.
    You can add self-defined functions to the toolbar, if necessary.
    The ALV Grid Control allows users to adjust the layout of lists to meet their individual
    requirements (for example, they can swap columns, hide columns, set filters for the
    data to be displayed, calculate totals, and so on). The settings (list customizing) made
    by a specific user are called a display variant. Display variants can be saved on a userspecific
    or on a global basis. If such display variants exist for a list, they can be offered
    to the user for selection. If a display variant is set as the default variant, the associated
    list is always displayed based on the settings of this variant.
    2. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
    REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
    REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    3. Use of Field Catalog is to determines the technical properties & add formating information of the column.
    6. all the definition of internal table, structure, constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.
    7.fieldcat-fieldname
    fieldcat-ref_fieldname
    fieldcat-tabname
    fieldcat-seltext_m
    5. Form user_command using r_ucomm like sy-ucomm rs_selfield type slis_selfield.
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
    In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
    The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;
    1. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
    2. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
    3. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
    4. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
    5. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    6. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
    7. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    8. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
    9. REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT
    Purpose of the above Functions are differ not all the functions are required in all the ALV Report.
    But either no.7 or No.8 is there in the Program.
    How you call this function in your report?
    After completion of all the data fetching from the database and append this data into an Internal Table. say I_ITAB.
    Then use follwing function module.
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
    I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = 'Prog.name'
    I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'I_ITAB'
    I_DEFAULT = 'X'
    I_SAVE = 'A'
    TABLES
    T_OUTTAB = I_ITAB.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    WRITE: 'SY-SUBRC: ', SY-SUBRC .
    ENDIF.
    ENDFORM. " GET_FINAL_DATA
    The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
    contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70. Each of the
    activities 01, 02 and 70 controls the availability of particular
    functions (in the menu and the toolbar) of the ALV line item list:
    a) 01: "Settings -> Display variant -> Save..."
    b) 02: "Settings -> Display variant -> Current..." and
    "Settings -> Display variant -> Current header rows "
    c) 70: "Settings -> Display variant -> Administration..."
    Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
    most restricted one: The user can only select layouts which have
    been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
    named above are inactive with activity 03.
    Now if you want to permit a user to change the column selection and
    the headers as well as to save the layout thus created, for example,
    but if you do not want to permit the user to administrate the
    layouts, you grant him or her the authorization for activities 01
    and 02.

  • Always open with Pages '09 doesn't work? (Pages 3.0)

    i have a copy of Pages '09 and a copy of Pages 3.0 on my MBP. unfortunately my Mac Pro only goes up to Lion so i cannot use 3.0 and this machine cannot /read/ 3.0 pages document.
    consequently, i would like to almost always open Pages documents with the 09 version or i would like to temporarily unload 3.0 so that i don't end up with a mess of files that only open on my laptop.
    unfortunately when i right click on a PAGES document and go to PAGES 09 and check "Always Open With" - this single document opens with pages 09 but other pages documents seem to open with pages 3.0.
    am i missing something here or is this the intended implementation? i mean, can i set pages documents on this computer ot always open with 09 unless i manually tell it to open with 3.0 or am i somehow supposed to tell every pages file on my HD to open with 09 (which is obviously not workable).
    any ideas on what i am missing or if my system is acting buggy.
    thanks

    hi T.
    thanks a bunch.
    somehow i forgot this fact.
    does seem like for new users they could put a prompt in Open With Other to direct people to Get Info and in Get Info they could put a prompt to direct people to Open With Other in the event one has one workflow need as opposed to the other. this is a pretty basic user need, there is nothing obvious in the prompts that tells you what in fact you are doing, and even after having been back on the mac for a number of years now it is not one i remember even when working in the UI.
    again many thanks.

  • File associations (always open with...) are constantly reverted

    Hi,
    This sounds like a minor problem but is a major hassle on every workstation. We want to change file associations for all types like opening all .eps with illustrator instead of Preview.app and many others.
    Our Workstations run Lion 10.7.1 and have Network Homes hosted on a Snow Leopard Server. Whenever the user changes the file associations (Get Info... dialogue) this change is reverted after a reboot. Strangely enough the new association is still in place if the user just logs out and back in again. There is no such problem with local users on the machines.
    The com.apple.LaunchServices.plist where these settings are stored reflect changes made in the Get-Info dialogue. Upon reboot the Finder seems to ignore this settings file although it stays unchanged!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You should have used the unistaller rather than delete.
    Try this may work.

  • "always open with" - wish I hadn't

    Dear World,
    I made the dumb mistake of making all my .eps files "Always open with" Illustrator in a moment of bleary-eyed madness. Now all my massive DCS files from Photoshop (and some new EPS's that my design team KEEP creating) only open in Illustrator unless I force them into Photoshop. Therefore, my question is, how do I undo this error? Is there a way of getting back to a default?
    Can't believe there is no ither post about this, I must be the only idiot out here!
    Many thanks

    Welcome to the forums!
    You can just pick a different app under Get Info (Open with...) for a file of that type, and Change All.
    To clear all file-application associations, you can reset the LaunchServices database using freeware such as Onyx (Maintenance tab > Reset tab, use reset not rebuild). Note that after doing this, you will be asked to pick an application each time you open a new file type, but it will remember those and you will be all set fairly soon.
    Hope this helps...

  • Why Firefox always opens with last session tabs?

    When I open firefox always opens with last session tabs? How can I fix it?

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once</b> pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • The "always open with-"  option doesn't work!

    Is there a way to get the "Always open with" option when doing a (control) (option) click on a file to actually ALWAYS open with the application I choose? Could this feature be broken or perhaps mislabeled?
    Here's what happens; I'll set a file to "always open with" one application. I work on that file and save it. The next time I try to open that file it opens with the snow leopard default application instead of using the application I directed it to "Always open with".
    I don't want to open every file type with this application so I'm not setting "apply to all" in the info window/ inspector, I simply want this one file to always open with the application I've selected.
    I'm hoping some of you super mac users will know a trick to make this work.

    I want to open a few select files with a non-default application (now that the creation code is not used.)...If I work on the file and make/save any changes, it reverts to the default app.
    Aha! Okay, I don't think any of us were getting that in the initial posts. You are correct. Snow Leopard no longer uses Type and Creator codes by default, but they are still there. Various things are keeping you from doing what you want.
    1) Newer programs that do not use Type and Creator codes at all still need a way to tell the OS what files belong to them. Since at least back as far as Leopard (likely earlier), the system now uses Uniform Type Identifiers. As far as keeping track of what files belong to what applications, they serve the same purpose as Type and Creator codes. So when you save changes, it will indeed revert back to the default app since the file once again gets saved with that program's UTI data.
    2) Some programs use both UTI and Type and Creator codes. Usually older apps that have come from PPC code. I would guess that would be either because the developer doesn't want to waste time removing the code that adds the Type and Creator codes to the files, or more likely, to make sure files passed to other users still on older Macs that don't use UTI won't have trouble opening them.
    3) I use some much older apps which have still not been rewritten at all for Intel Macs and are still all PPC code. They still write Type and Creator codes.

    Thank you
