Are there any Apps to manage OS X's Launch Services Database?

I should like to remove some entries within the "Open With" menu, and prevent further automated additions or re-additions.
I know how to reset the database, but that is insufficient to prevent additions from apps on drives connected or networked at a later time.
Help appreciated.

You could install BootCamp which does "resize" slightly, then erase or convert the resulting Windows partition.
One reason to do so is to have a small "emergency OS X" volume, similar to MicroMat TTPro's "eDrive" when you have just one hard drive and on the road and no FW drive handy.
Another reason to partition is to keep the boot volume from being cluttered with music and video files or such. I have a lot of large DMG files that I prefer to keep elsewhere.

    I haven't found anything that uses FaceTime directly, but there is the Hamilton Captel app if you use their service.

  • Are there any apps for managing photos other than iphoto

    I do not find iphoto to be a particularly intuitive or user friendly app to manage photos with.  Are there any other options?

    What is your complaint about iPhoto? What are you having problems with?  Have you perused the tutorials on iPhoto:
    Apple - iPhoto for Mac
    Mac Apps - iPhoto - Apple Support
    What features do you want in a photo management applications.  There are many, many image management apps for Mac available:
    Lightroom
    Aperture
    IMatch 5
    Stock Keeper
    Photo Explorer
    Shoebox Express
    Shoebox Pro
    Picasa
    JetPhoto Studio
    myPhotos
    photo 1.5.1
    Photo Supreme
    MediaDex
    EzyPic Photo Organizer
    Daminion
    Photonator
    iMatch
    uAlbum
    All have different features so you'll need to determine what's important to you and do some research.  I don't think any are as easy to use as iPhoto, particularly with a Mac.

  • Are there any apps like outlook but for the ipads?

    are there any apps like outlook but for the ipads?
    I want to manage my calendars appointments outlook is perfect but is it compatable for ipad

    Yes Outlook is Compatible for iPAD, but you have to buy it as an additional APP. However you can download something called "iCloud Control Panel" for Windows Machine & Install it. This would integrate all your Windows Calendar in Outlook to iCloud.
    Then enable iCloud in your iPad. All your contacts & calendars would sync automatically to your outlook on the windows machine. You can actuallu configure "Mail" app in the iPad to your exchange server.

  • Are there any apps to support Bluetooth earpieces that do not support music

    Basically I have a Rock candy Bluetooth earpiece for PS3, but I paired it with my white iPad 2 16GB it only works with calls but I want to listen to music or other media such as podcasts or videos. Are there any apps to help me listen to media or any tricks or options? Thanks

    If the device does not support the correct Bluetooth profile, there is nothing that you can do to change that.

  • Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?

    Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only (not minutes, no extra charge) that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?  Just for random local calling.

    Yup.
    Here is a way you could solve this by adding an extra column and a small lookup table:
    The lookup table is here for the copying:
    0
    1
    k
    kilo
    2
    M
    mega
    3
    G
    giga
    4
    T
    tera
    5
    P
    peta
    6
    E
    exa
    7
    Z
    zetta
    8
    Y
    yotta
    In table 8 (the one on the left in the image) column A is where the values are. 
    B1=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    select cell B1, copy,
    now select all the cells in column B, paste

  • Are there any apps that make it now possible to scroll with Mountain Lion ?

    I just gave up on a project that required me to be able to scroll through a Senate bill. I'll probably go back, but it just shouldn't be so difficult, so painful. and I'm not talking about the bill's language. No, it's just Apple's decision to do away with the USEABLE search arrows that existed before Mountain Lion, and, yes, I know that you can use the little up and down triangles--sometimes--for this purpose.  I have written to Apple about this on more than one occasion, but I never felt that this would do any good. Anyway, I came here to see if anyone knows of an app that has been developed to overcome this strange, almost malicious, behavior of Apple's. Are there any apps I can use on my iMac for scrolling? If not why not? I know I have a lot of company in my disgust with Apple's behavior, so I have to there is some prohibitively difficult problem that makes such a fix impossible. Is that the reason why no one has come to the rescue of Apple's suffering customers?

    For very long documents in PDF or on a web page, I just lean on the space bar for big jumps (Shift-spacebar goes up), or on the down arrow keys for short scrolling. If I'm on my laptop, the trackpad provides both large jumps and fine control. If I'm on my desktop, I love my scroll wheel mouse.
    In apps like Word, you can't scroll with the spacebar because you need it to type spaces, so I just use the Page Up/Page Down keys. On short Mac keyboards you press Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to page up/down.
    There are so many more and better ways to scroll now compared to the 1980s when the only way was to click-click-click over and over again on stupid scroll arrows. If it stopped scrolling it meant you had to re-aim the mouse because the mouse slipped a little and the arrow is no longer hitting the arrow. If you wanted to scroll up, you had to move the mouse quite a ways because the arrows were on opposite ends of the bar. Scroll arrows were the worst and least efficient way to scroll and I don't miss them at all.
    I'm glad we have so many superior alternatives now where, unlike scroll arrows, you don't even have to look at the screen to scroll quickly and accurately. Today, the only good use for a scroll bar is to tell you how far you are through the document.

  • Are there any apps that install animated lock screens without jail breaking my iPhone 5?

    Are there any apps that can install animated lock screens without jail breaking the iPhone 5?

    I don't know of any way, except perhaps by using an animated GIF or PNG as your wallpaper. I've never tried it, though.
    I don't recommend jailbreaking your phone, voiding your warranty, and risking ruining the phone just for this feature, however - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

    Are there any apps with a photo phone book that allows you to tap a photo to dial?

    How could I put this in as a feature request? Should I try to find the existing bug in bugzilla and comment on that, or should I open a new bug? I would really love to see this happen, I think it is a worthwhile and usefult feature.
    I tried searching bugzilla for a bit but I could not find the relevant bug. If you know it, please link to it.
    Thanks!

    Are there any apps that can grab photos from the iPhone's camera roll and copy them to a Mac or PC over Wi-Fi? There are apps like Air Sharing, Files Lite, Briefcase, etc., but none of them seem to have access to the camera roll. Any ideas?

    I don't think you can do that the volume is universal, but maybe turn down the volumes in the app settings?
