Can't set plugins (like Quicktime, to be run in FF) for certain file types

When I go to the application tab in options, I don't have the option to select a plugin for certain files - I'm trying to get Quicktime to open mp3s in Firefox, I know it can, it use to do that on my old computer, but Firefox doesn't give me the option - I see it listed for other files, but it doesn't appear for this one.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Still more data. iTunes on the Vista machine will still not allow me to change the location of the iTunes Folder with the Browse button. It acts like the network doesn't exist.
But, surprisingly, if I go to File-Add File to Library, the network appears! Even stranger, File-Add Folder to Library, the network does NOT appear.
Again, the network is clearly operationaly, and iTunes can even see the network in the Add File menu, but refuses to see it in the Advanced menu or Add Folder.
It's not that Apple doesn't want me to be able to do this, because all of my XP machines running 7.6 do this flawlessly. There is clearly some bug between 7.6 and Vista.
Rummaging around the forums convinces me that this is a pretty common problem, but I haven't found an answer yet.
Thanks for any help,
Shawn M.

Unable to stop Quicktime from playing certain file types

Recently, Quicktime has begun to insist on playing certain file types accessed via Web Browser. I work at a radio station and we have to be able to import certain audio from the web into our own player/editing software.
I have it set in the preferences that Quicktime not play any audio files.
We have had to restrict the installation of Quicktime on our systems.
Anyone know when Quicktime will allow us to really set preferences again?

Each user account can set their own preferences for QuickTime browser playback.
QuickTime Control Panel/Advanced/MIME Settings allow you to change those that will open via the QT browser plug-in.
If your page code is "sloppy" and you directly link to the audio files then you may get a wide vary of responses from the viewing browser. Some users will download the file while others may get a QuickTime playback in a "new" window.
Post a link to your page and we can view the page source code and help you with a solution.

Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility? That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says. Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

I think so: [http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/330585-firefox-default-browser-for-all-users/]
Can you also set the default programs in the Group Policy User Settings?

Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?

After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player. It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types." I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

It should be possible to set default behavior for all file types

It should be possible to set a default action for all file types. I'm so tired of having to manually sit and say "save this file" because Firefail always defaults to "open with" and has disabled the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
And spare me the zealotry religious excuses for why its the fault of websites and not Firefail

I do want users to have full control to be able to set any folder view they want by using Apply to Folders; I just want to set the initial/default view to Detail because that matches what the majority of my users want.
That is, what registry setting changes when I go to a picture folder, change the view to Detail, and click Apply to Folders? Having done that, I still retain the ability to change it to some other view and apply that to folders. But what registry setting
represents the change I just made when applying Detail view to all Picture folders.?
This settings is simple via GUI, but it is related a lot of registry keys, I made a test in my machine, capture the "Apply to Folders" process using Regshot tool (this is a small tool which can compare the regsitry changes after you change some
settings), and this is the result:
this is part of the registry changes, a plenty of registry keys and values need to be changed. hard to list them here. if you have interests, I recommend the tool Regshot, it can help you capture the regsitry changes.

Can I exclude certain file types in the Photo Downloader?

Hi there!
I am very new here, so please do correct me on etiquette and if I'm doing something wrong. I've been searching the web for quite a while now but couldn't find an answer or even questions concerning this problem...
I like using Bridge's Photo Downloader, for the nice renaming and other options it gives me. Usually I want to download all images from a card and then delete them on the card. The problem I am having is that Photo Downloader will not only see images (like .JPG, .CR2 or .ARW) but camera database files and settings (.INT, .BDM, .BIN, ...). This is annoying, since I neither want them stored on my hard drive nor deleted on my card. I also would like to import movies in a different way. The way I can work around this now is that I manually deselect all non-images in the Advanced Dialog and then only download these. But I was hoping that there is a more elegant and automatic way to just exclude certain file types from automatic selection. Or even just a way to mark or unmark the images by file type. This should be very easy to implement and I am really curious if I am missing something obvious here or if this is just not possible yet.
Has anyone else thought this before? Or are you all using different methods to import images from your card reader?
Any help or comment is appreciated.

Sorry, download history is either on or off. There is no preference setting to exclude specific file types.

For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC. Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version 6.7

Where can I get a list of available selection for certain dict type?

Where can I get a list of available selection for certain dict type in code? For instance, when I use SE16 to view VBFA table, I am presented with many filter criteria. One of them would be "VBTYP_N". When I click on the square next to the option, I am presented with a list of possible values to select from. Where can I get the list of this possible values for any given dict type in code?

Hi Frank,
The list of possible selection you see can be from diferent sources
1) Search helps defined either programatically or search helps defined at table level.
If it is a Z Selection screen check the program, then the data declaration of the parameter
2)Check tables provided at field level. They can be through use of foreign keys. The proposal generated could be simple compund ..
3) Fixed values at Domain level ()
Please refer to this link as well for detailed explanation

I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to a iphone5 and everytime i take pictures etc they store on the old phone as well as the new on iloud, how can I set up a new icloud on the old phone for my mum whos now using it without losing everything that was ? thanks

i recently bought a new iphone 5 and gave the old iphone 4 to my mum. every time i take picstures they automatically store on the iphone 4, how can i set up a new icloud for my mum on the iphone 4 but keep everything on my iphone 5?

Your iphone 4 must still be logged into your icloud account. Go to settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account. This will remove all your data from the old device but not from icloud or your iphone 5.
To create a new icloud account for your mum, go to

HT1338 I dont have a mac book air can you install apps like (angry birds, temple run)

I dont have a mac book air. Can you install apps like angry birds and temple run?

Can you install them on what? Those are both iOS apps (meaning they can be installed on iPods, iPhones and iPads), but iOS apps cannot be run on either a Mac or a PC. I believe that there is a Mac version of Angry Birds as well, which is completely separate from the iOS version of Angry Birds.

I can't set the photoshop CS6 as a default program to open jpg file on my windows 7 64bit computer?

I reintalled 3 times for CS6 but the default program associated with jpg file still is unknown application.
I try to change the default program, I can see the photoshop cs6 icon at the Adobe program folder.
But just can be selected.

I would recommend contacting Adobe Tech Support for this as playing with registry is quite dangerous , your computer may crash.
Still if you want to try , first create the System Restore point and Backup your Registry , just incase something goes wrong.
In regedit: Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your .exe name.
Navigate under its name to shell>open>command. In the Default change its location to the actual location of the executable, hit okay and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.
