Default application conflict / bug (Pages + TextEdit)

TextEdit is stuck as the default application for for .pages documents. It stays on the default application place above the separator, but Pages (or whatever else I try to set as the actual default application) gets the (default) parenthesis. It's possible to change single documents to actually open in Pages, but not all.
TextEdit gives this error when trying to open .pages documents (for google and stuff):
The document “---“ could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format.

Nah, I've tried that and every variation.
Deleting default applications from TextEdit's info.plist (or even the whole info.plist file) didn't work either. Deleting TextEdit did though. Are the default applications also kept somewhere else?

  • How to set Pages and Numbers to become default applications for attachment?

    I installed Leopard and have just installed iWork.
    I started noticing that the applications of .doc and .xls that come in file attachments in my mail do not use Pages and Numbers as their default application.
    .doc uses TextEdit
    I copied the file to the desktop, changed the default app to Pages, but it still doesn't work. All new mails with .doc still uses TextEdit as default app.
    How to change this?

  • Change default application to Pages for .doc files?

    When I double-click on a .doc file, TextEdit is the application that opens the file. Is there a way to change it, so that Pages '08 is the default application for .doc files?
    Thanks!

    Select the file (in Finder)>File>Get Info, then under "Open With", select Pages and click "Change All".

  • TextEdit is the default application for my Numbers documents

    Although I did not set it to be, TextEdit is the default application for my Numbers documents. It was not always this way, but it is now, and I can't seem to change the default application back to Numbers ('09). For example, when I double-click any .numbers document, I always get the following error message:
    The document “xxxxx.numbers” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format.
    See: http://screencast.com/t/P5OSAJAq
    Therefore, whenever I want to open a.numbers document, I must drag it to the Numbers application icon or right-click and select “open with” and select Numbers from the list of applications. Although this works fine, it creates a couple of extra steps that I would prefer not to do
    My first inclination was to “Get info” and change the “open with”  back to Numbers for all .numbers documents.
    http://screencast.com/t/TMJwBmTOkHN
    http://screencast.com/t/LAnPsbeGdB
    However, selecting Numbers as the default application will not persist after clicking  “change all.” Rather, it reverts back to TextEdit. Tony, this is the only way I know how to select the default application for a document type.
    Is there another location where I can set/reset the default application?
    Thanks!

    I guess that there is at least one database used by the Operating System which is corrupted.
    Run a maintenance application : MAINTENANCE is a free very good one available thru :
    www.titanium.free.fr/
    and ask it to repair permissions,
    delete caches
    repair database Launch Services.

  • Bug? Wrong default application

    I think I may have found a bug in Tiger related to assigning the correct default application.
    Background:
    Installed TurboTax Deluxe 2005.
    Created a tax return file.
    Exited TurboTax.
    Double clicked tax return file.
    TurboTax Deluxe 2004 is launched and returns an error trying to open the file.
    What I have tried:
    Performed get info on this year's and last year's returns.
    File Type = TaxR; Creator = MIT5 for 2005, MIT4 for 2004
    Dumped Launch services database using lsregister.
    Everything looked OK, found out that Turbo also uses
    an extension of "tax" for the tax return files
    Rebuilt Launch services database using lsregister and problem still existed.
    Added "tax" extension to 2005 tax return file and correct default application chosen.
    Excerpt from Launch Services documentation on how the default application is chosen:
    2. If the document has a filename extension (or if one has been specified as a parameter to LSGetApplicationForInfo), find all applications in the Launch Services database that claim to accept documents with that extension.
    3. If the document carries a four-character file type (or if one has been specified as a parameter), find all applications that claim to accept files of that type.
    4. If more than one application has been found as a result of steps 2–3, apply the following criteria in the order shown:
    a. If the document carries a four-character creator signature (or if one has been specified as a parameter), give preference to any application that claims to accept documents with that signature (typically the application to which the signature belongs).
    Conclusion:
    The correct application is selected when an extension is used, but not when the choice is based on the file type. Therefore, I believe there to be a bug in default application selection base on file type and creator.
    Does anyone see anything place I have gone wrong?
    I know that when I installed TurboTax last year, it worked, so I'm not sure when this bug was born.

    When you went to "Get Info," did you try expanding the "open with" section of the window to view the drop-down menu? This drop-down menu under "open with" should tell you which application is set to open the file by default. In that drop-down menu, you should select the newer version of your tax program. Then under "Use this application to open all documents like this," you should probably click the "Change All" button.
    Not sure why the correct application wasn't assigned by OS X in the first place. But I don't know if what you're describing is really a "bug." See if you can set your newer app to be the default application using get info as described. Good luck.

  • Resetting default application to "Pages"

    When I open a downloaded document (usually originally a Windows document), and click on it, somehow it is always opened in "Open Office" a slow and cumbersome word processing app that translates MS documents and spreadsheets well but is too sophisticated most of the time, so I only want to use it in rare cases when all else fails.
    Instead, I want "Pages" to be my automatic default app for such things. How do I reset default applications, in this case to "Pages"?
    PP

    Select it in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, click on Open With, and change it.

  • Pages somehow vanished off my computer. When trying to open a Pages document it says, "no default application" Any ideas where it went and how can I get it back?

    The Pages program seems to have vanished off my computer. I can't open any of my Pages documents. It says " no default application" I've tried to search ffor it and there's nothing. Is there an advanced search I could try or some other thing I can do to find it? Thanks for any help.

    Hi msmuffy,
    You can re-download it from the App Store: Open the App Store and make sure you are signed on with the Apple ID you used to purchase Pages originally. Click on the Purchases tab at the top of the screen. You should see Pages listed. If it says "Download" next to it, then you can re-download it. If it says "Installed" it means that it is somewhere on the Mac, so go to the Finder and do a Search from there.

  • Bug: "default applications" does not work

    I set my internet browser to "opera mobile".  nonetheless, everything gets opened in the nokia browser.  
    What exactly is the benefit of changing the "default applications" then?

    Presumably you are referring to feature that performed correctly under Anna no longer being operative under Belle?

  • FileVault Bug - default application settings

    When i activate FileVault, the system resets the 'default application settings', such as default browser, and defaults as to what applications open what file types, after reboot. So when i choose Firefox as my default Webbrowser, after one reboot Safari is the default broswer!
    This is very bad for people those want not use Safari or Mail etc...!
    Is there any work around?

    Check this thread, I have the same problem and I hope the hints here help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5981050#5981050

  • "FlashPlayer.plugin" default application

    Could not find the specific solution to my problem in the
    forum yet.
    I run Mac OSX 10.5. When I access Flash enabled sites my
    browsers shutdown (Firefox, Safari) on specific pages. I have tried
    to uninstall/reinstall Flash 9 to no avail.
    I noticed when I search my finder window for flash and click
    on Flash Player.plugin...I receive the message "There is no default
    application specified to open the document "FlashPlayer.plugin.
    Anyone help??
    Thx

    Same here on my 10.5.1 (Leopard). You can do this procedure
    to reproduce the crash:
    1. Launch iPhoto and choose a event that contains some photos
    and videos AVIs from cameras.
    2. Quit iPhoto.
    3. Launch Safari or Firefox then goto YouTube home page.
    4. Now launch iPhoto again into the last event selected.
    5. Wait some seconds...
    6. Then you get Flash Player plug-in CRASH on Safari or
    Firefox.
    I believe guys from Adobe know this bug and I suspect we must
    wait next Flash Player version.
    This not occur in Tiger OS !!!

  • How can i specify the default application to save a read later doc in Instapaper

    I have an Instapaper account, so that I can mark some online web pages to 'read later' if I wish to do this. I have successfully put the Instapaper 'Read Later' borkmarklet on the dock of my iMAC.
       However, whenever, I come across a web page or blog that I wish to read later, and click the 'Read Later' bookmarklet on my dock, it throws up an error message that reads ' There is no default application specified to open the URL' and so I am now at a dead end.
    Can someone explain to me where and how I can find the default application to get round this problem. By the way, I did not find this problem with Instapaper's 'read later' bookmarklet on my old Windows PC, where I was able to store pages for reading later with this app, and also to transfer them automatically to my kindle through the wifi connection at home.
    I hope someone can assist... Or is there another way - (apart from Instapaper which worked okay with Windows)- to save web pages for reading later with MAC -
    Thanks

    This is pretty simple in Safari, in the upper left of Safari you will see an icon that looks like pair of glasses, this is where you collect webpages for you to read later. The feature is called Reading List and looks like:

  • How to set my default application...not working

    My company has nearly all adobe applications installed from PageMaker 6.5 through InDesign 5.5. We use them all frequently. I'm trying to set my defaults on the Mac Pros and it is not working.
    Specs if Needed:
    OSX 10.6.8 
    Model Identifier:          MacPro5,1
      Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          4
      Memory:          6 GB
      Boot ROM Version:          MP51.007F.B01
    +BootCamp dual boot Windows 7
    We proof out all files in the version that it comes to us. Our customers are on different versions than the most current, and it's driving us crazy that we can't set the defaults for
    each Adobe application. For Instance,
    We want for Defaults:
    Photoshop = CS4
    InDesign = CS4
    Illustrator = CS5
    etc.
    The Finder will not allow us to make the change to open all of a certain file type in the version we want by default. We also use a third party application that allows us to "double
    click" InDesign files and open them in the correct version. This saves valuable navigation time and because of the OS's problem with using the correct icons, it also saves us time
    dealing with the "Untitled" document when we accidentally convert by opening in the wrong application by mistake. We have gone through Onyx utilities and massive permissions
    troubleshooting to no avail. Does anyone know how to set the default for ALL files of a type for Adobe Apps? This has been thoroughly tested and is not working on 10 plus
    machines, and only effects Adobe apps.
    Any Ideas?

    I think you miss understand the question. There is a problem with OSX 10.6 and Adobe Apps. 10.5 ok, not sure about 10.7 because of all of the other Adobe problems we downgraded the test machine that we used for the upgrade. There is no way that I have found to make the files “Double-Clickable” through assigning a default application of files with Adobe extensions. We already have an app. that we use and it worked fine until 10.6. I can’t just approve a division-wide purchase of software for a bug that may be solvable by other means (by the way supposed cost of the licensing Soxy is deceiving at $20. Not for us. For companies it’s $20 per platform & also for each time Adobe updates. When we swap out hardware, we have to pay $40 again . Their pricing is absurd). $40 x a couple hundred machines every 18 months or so, uugh! The ten or so I’m working with are just the ones in my immediate department.
    I know you have good intentions with your reply and I appreciate it, however I’m looking to solve the problem, not put a band-aid on it. If the problem is by design so Rorohiko can hold companies hostage, then I guess we’ll just have to deal with the few extra clicks it takes to figure out which version we’re in need of, and dragging to the launch bar.
    Thanks very much for your reply,
    Seth

  • No default applications to open items with varied extentsions

    Not being the most technologicaly advanced human here...I repeeatedly am unable to open downloaded files with any extensions other than the basic ones. Right now there are desktop files with .asf, .exe,.wmv extensions that when I try to open them I get the message that "there is no default application specified to open the document "hurl.exe". Is quicktime supposed to handle these files?
    Also, when using Safari, I am unable to import graphics into my clip art gallery in Word AND and PDF download from Safari opens just the first page (Still seemingly in HTML) of the doc with no scroll bar or means tonavigate to any other part of the doc.
    any thoughts out there?
    Thanks!

    I can give some partial answers. Perhaps someone who is more knowledgeable can do a better job.
    I believe that the .exe files are executable files under a Windows operating system. I don't think that you can normally open these in Mac OS X. Perhaps if you had a PC emulator on your computer, you could do that.
    There is some info on .asf files here. It looks like you can open these with Windows Media Player and there is a download site listed for them. Likewise, Windows Media Player evidently will open .wmv files, as discussed here. I have not personally used these types of files or WMP.
    I am confused by your questions regarding Safari. Let's take the case of a PDF file. After it is downloaded, I would expect it to open in Preview unless you have changed something in your preferences. Does that happen? What happens if you double click on the PDF file on your desktop. Does it open normally>

  • PDF opens in browser and not default application

    When i click on a pdf file in a document library, it opens in the same web page instead of Adobe reader. I've set the feature of open documents in default application but in vain.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi,
    From your description, I know you want to open SharePoint 2013 PDF files with default application.
    You could re-install your Adobe Reader, and then test this issue. Also, you can have test in another computer with Adobe Reader.
    If this issue is still exist, please refer to this article:
