Can't choose download application to open a file - no existing articles fix the issue
Historically, I used to be able to select which application to open a download with, and Firefox remembered. Recently, it's forgotten which application I like to open .qif files with. Also, it no longer gives me an option to either:
1. Choose an application
2. Choose where to save the file.
I have selected "always ask me where to save files" in preferences. The .qif file type not listed in preferences/applications, so I cannot change which application opens them, as the file type is missing. I have followed the advice of the support articles and tried deleting mimeTypes.rdf and this has not resolved the problem.
I have tried resetting Firefox to default settings, and this was not a fix either.
I cannot get Firefox to ask me which application to open files with - any new advice is most welcome!

<blockquote>
Deleting the '''mimeTypes.rdf''' will reset all download actions to the default settings.
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
'''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Locate the file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.
</blockquote>
Hi, thanks for the suggestion - but as I've stated above, I've already tried this with no success.

i can't open .pkg files. i get an error telling me to choose an application to open them. the Installer app is not in my Utilities folder or in System/Library/CoreServices.
Install the UnArchiver and try again.
http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver
There is no Installer.app in the Utilities or Applications folder, there is one in the System/Library/CoreServices.
If yours is not there, then you need to:
1: Backup your data off the machine to a non-TimeMachine drive and disconnect all drives.
2: If you have TM, try to restore the Installer.app from the TM drive and reboot. See if things work.
If the above doesn't work, your going to have to re-install just OS X 10.6 (and bundled programs) from the disk by holding c and booting off the 10.6 disk and simply installing OS X. Then software updating to 10.6.8.
This will replace all bundled programs and OS X, not touch your files (backup regardless) and most third party programs.
Some third party programs will have to be reinstalled form original sources because they install Kext files into OS X and thus kicked out by the 10.6 reinstall form disk.
All should go well, however if you boot to a gray screen or other freeze, reboot holding the shift key down, then update all your third party software to be current to 10.6.8.
Another method is to re-install in to CoreServices the Installer.app from the 10.6 disk using the extraction program called Pacifist from CharleSoft, then running software update to get any updates for Installer.app.

I have downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the Sony a6000 camera. However it is not opening the images in camera raw. What can I do?
Close and restart Photoshop if you have not already done so.
In Photoshop, go to the Help - About Plug-in... menu then choose Camera Raw. What version does it say there?

since i updated my iphone to ios7, i can no longer download applications and also cannot update my apps. what happened? there is an alert popping and it tells that i should switch to Philippine store.
Hi, sallymaesmag.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are in the Philippines, check to see if the country is changed in the iTunes Store settings on the iOS device. These steps will show you how to change the preference.
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. TapSettings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

Once you make the change attempt to download applications again.

Why can't I download Canon S100 CR2 RAW files into PSE 10?
I am using PSE 10 with a Canon S100 camera. I am successful in downloading all of my jpeg files and RAW CR2 files from my older Canon Rebel, but not with the Canon S100 CR2 Raw files.
When first downloading from the Canon S100 camera into PSE 10 and later doing them manually, I receive the following messages: Nothing imported...files are not supported file types or alread in catalog. File damaged or in a format that cannot be included in the Elements Organizer.
These problems files, by the way, were automatically added to my Window's My Pictures catalog and are perfectly fine.Thank you for the info. It worked great, once I was
able to get around a second problem that prevented updating
from within the PSE 10 application (error U41M1C212). That
problem was solved by disabling the MS Virtual WiFi Miniport
Adapter (located in the Network and Sharing Center control
panel). It just goes to show me once again, how complex
computer apps are and how much we all have to rely on each
other to get anything to work properly (frustratingly
enough, since the companies we paid good money to for
their problematic software are not very helpful). Thanks
again.

Try opening a CR2 directly from a folder by right-clicking
and choosing open with Photoshop Elements editor, if that
dosent work, update the appliactaion (required for the
S100V)
In the Editor menu click Help >> Updates
Then install amera raw 6.7

How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file
SWF files are flash files, which are not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
If you want to play the file then the iSwifter or Skyfire browser apps might work (they don't work on all flash sites) but you won't be able to download it -
What version of GB is needed to open .band files created in GB for the iPad. I am running GB '08 on my desktop PPC G5 with OS X 10.5.8, so I can't go to GB '11. Any solution?

although i ran GBX6 under 10.5.8, i do believe an intel processor is required. that means that the only complete solution would be a new computer, i'm afraid.
the best you could do is export each track as an audio file from GBi and drop them into your GBX project -

Cannot launch application to open a file from jdev extension
Hello:
I use the following code to let my application to open a file:
String[] cmd = new String[3];
cmd[0] = "cmd.exe" ;
cmd[1] = "/C" ;
cmd[2] = "myfile.pdf;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
p.waitFor();
It worked fine if it was in a main method running in jdev. However, my application is a jdev client launched by clicking run/debug extension on project icon. When that part of code was executed, I didn't see the file got opened. No cmd.exe process got created either. I am wondering if I need to do something more to make it work. (I did enable "allow program input" in Tool Settings in Run/Debug/Profile of the project property).
Anyone who knows this may offer some help/hint?
Thanks.Hi there
Perhaps this trick will help.
Do the file browse thing where it appears to lock up.
Press Alt+Spacebar and release both keys.
Presss M. (selects the Move command)
Press any arrow key.
Wiggle the mouse around a little and see if the window pops into view.
Cheers... Rick
