Default programme opening file

Does anybody have know how to change the default programme for opening a CSV file in Mountain Lion.
What I have done so far is
1. Deleted  com. apple.finder.plist
2. Change the default programme by right clicking on the icon of the file
3. Changed the default programme in show info
BUT
Nothing is changed and Mountain Lion still opens CSV files with the wrong programme

Try right click or control click on the file,  then select open with, then select other at the bottom of the menu when the window opens select your program that you want the CSV to open in, then click the check box that reads always open with.

  • How do I set my older version of Pages as the default when opening files?

    I currently have two versions (Pages '08 3.0.3 and Pages '09 4.2) on my computer. I am finding that when others send me a document created in the older version of Pages, when I open it, it converts it to the newer version. If I make changes and send it back, that same person with only the older version cannot open the file. I know I can duplicate the file, and save a copy as the Pages '08 version when sending the file back, but I'd like to skip this step. Remembering to control click each new file to choose which version I want to open the file in seems like an extra, unecessary step as well. I simply want the files sent to me to open in the older version, so I don't need to go through these extra steps each time. Anyone have any suggestions or tips for me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I do try to keep Pages 08 open on my computer, but I sometimes find that my documents will still convert to the 09 version upon opening them, even if I don't make any changes or even save the file myself. I also find that I do not get the "save as" option in Pages 09 when it is not a file I created myself. You wouldn't think a basic word processing file would have this much trouble opening in a version that really isn't that much older. I've been doing a lot of copying and pasting into the older version when I send files out. This really makes the 09 version inconvenient to me. If it weren't for all of my files that now require the 09 version to open (because of this default setting everything I open seems to become an 09 version) I'd get rid of this version all together, as it is not compatible for so many other people with whom I work!

  • Changing mouse click default to "open" (file/folder)

    My logitech mouse button1 defaults to "search" instead of "open' when I left click. i don't want to have to rt click first, then select "open". I want mouse default to be "open". any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I have just had the same problem, but fixed it!
    All I did was go to any folder, Tools, Folder Options, File Types and find "File Folder" in the list
    Then go to Advanced and select New
    Add one for Action - Open and add an application of Explorer.exe
    This sorted it!
    Hope this helps you

  • Parallels default programme opening annoyance

    Hi,
    I am, annoying forced to use a couple of pieces of software that only have a windows compatible version, so run Parallels to do this.
    Suddenly, for no reason I know of, all of my documents in Office Mac (and possibly other software) seem to want to open in the Windows version of Office from my documents in Leopard instead of using the mac version.
    Obviously I can get around this issue through the "Open With..." menu and selecting the mac Office program manually, but I don't want to do this EVERY time I open a document. I certainly don't want Parallels opening every 5 minutes either!
    I have tried the "always open with" option in the "Open With" menu box thing, but this doesn't seem to work on anything other than each file I individually select.
    I'm sure there is a simple answer to this and I'm very dumb, but please do tell me!!!!
    Thanks!

    Please post Parallels related questions on the Parallels forums, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

  • Setting default program to open files

    Ok, I can not find it again. Where do I go to change the program default to open files?

    No problem. I figured that since learning mac and that Ctrl is not usually the key player. That is a problem we are both having too. PC at work.
    Going to get a full size keyboard, do not know if that might help some besides we really use the keypad.

  • Get volumes displayed by default under Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview

    Scenario:
    In Windows 8.1, it is to display volumes under This PC by default when opening File Explorer, which is as shown in Figure1. However, in Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is not to display volumes under Home by default when
    opening File Explorer, which is as shown as in Figure 2. This articles describes a workaround to get volumes displayed by default under
    Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview.
    Workaround:
    This workaround is to edit some related Registry keys. Note: Please click
    Yes in the User Account Control prompt to continue. What’s more, before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey. In this scenario, please backup the key

    i think what he want is to change the Win + E shortcut to This PC.
    I understand that is the goal. I've tried the registry hack, it works, but I found it left fragments of other files from "Home' scatter around in there too. We all been using this new version of windows for a few weeks now, built up a list of stuff
    we have looked at, and that is why I said it's not the prettiest solution. It might have been okay if it was done just after a fresh install. In my alternative solution, you are bringing the This PC icon out to a more accessible place so you
    don't have to use the File Explorer icon to get at the volumes i.e. hard drive view.
    Personally, when I launch the File Explorer, I am expecting to be looking for something straight away on my hard drives and not be presented with a list of stuff that I have already looked at. That kind of thing should be left
    in a Recent Folder sort of thing we use to see in the older versions of windows.

  • Opening files in apps that created them

    OSX drives me nuts. Preview is the default for opening files, and when I follow the instructions for "changing all" so all my Photoshop files open in Photoshop, Word in Word, etc., it won't let me do it...it defaults back to Preview!
    So, what can I do to have ALL my files open in the application that created them when I double-click on them, whether they are Classic apps or OSX apps?
    THANKS!
    Paul

    Preview is not the default for opening all files. Each application uses a unique way of identifying its document file - an extension. Word uses ".doc", for example. If you don't make any changes to the default application used the correct application will open when you double-click the document file.
    You can gain more extensive control over file associations by installing the freeware RCDefaultApp (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.)
    Perhaps your system needs a bit of maintenance:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at www.versiontracker.com and www.macupdate.com.

  • Error 8 occured at Open File

    I seem to randomly get this error. I am running a rather complicated 'for' loop that runs about 1000 times. I get the following error somewhat sporatically. I think this has something to do with a file permission error, but I cannot find a way to fix this error, not can I make it consistently occur at the same time.
    Any help?
    Thanks a ton.

    Most probably another application (e.g. disk indexing, antivirus scan, backup, etc) opens the file and denies your application write access for a short time.
    You can ignore this error retry since it for a short time. Another solution is to set the deny mode to "deny read/write" when you open the file. That is a setting on the "Open File" node. By default, LabVIEW opens file allowing simultaneous read/write access by other application. This is seldom required and wouldn't be a problem if the other application didn't lock the file for itselt the time it access it. Unfortunately, the high level File I/O VIs don't allow to set the deny mode on the file; you have to open the file using the "Open File" node directly.

    When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud.  I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file).  I don't want to log into CC since I am not a subscriber, and this means that I have to work around, and go  back to Bridge, and tell it to open the file in Adobe RAW.  However, this does not work for older psd files which for some reason cannot be opened in RAW.  How do I return to the process of simply allowing RAW files to open automatically in Adobe RAW, and simply right clicking on the image in Bridge to bring up the option of opening it in Photoshop?

  • How to change/set default "box selection" in download/open file menu?

    I have set downloads option in options-general to "Always ask me where to save files". This is making a menu pop-up with option "Open with" and "Save file" every time I want to download something, and thats what I want. The thing is that depending on type of file I want to download the box for "open file" is ticked for some files like .doc and .xsp files, and the box "save file" is ticked for other files like .zip files.
    Sometimes Im downloading many separate files in a short time and it is annoying to to tick "save file" and select ok instead if having "save file" already ticked and just clicking ok.
    How can I change this behavior?
    My setup:
    Firefox 26.0

    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
    Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.
    You can disable this feature to remember the download directory via the Boolean pref <b>browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    The browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite pref doesn't exist by default (it is a hidden pref), so you need to create it.
    Create a new <b>Boolean</b> pref with the name <b>browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite</b> and set the value to false.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file and keep the exceptions that are stored in permissions.sqlite that would be lost if you clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History.

  • PDF export with link to document defaulting to "Open a web link" instead of "Open a file"

    I have a MS Access database and I'm trying to export reports to PDF (I have Acrobat XI Pro) that include a hyperlink to another document on the same drive on my computer.  I have tested this with hyperlinked email addresses, and emails export fine to PDF and are still functional, opening a new email in Outlook.  The hyperlinks to documents work fine in MS Access, opening a Word, PDF, or other document when clicked.
    When I export to PDF, the links to documents say, "This document is trying to connect to: file:" and my filepath.  If I say "Allow," the link tries to open in my default web browser, which comes up blank.  I've tested this on other computers in our office too.  When I right-click the link, I have the option to "Open weblink as a new document" -- this opens the document successfully, but won't be very helpful or fast for our staff.  When I examine the link with Tools - Add or Edit Link, I see that the link's action defaulted to "Open a web link" when the PDF was created.  This seems like it should be "Open a file."  To see if "Open a file" would work in theory, I tried creating a test button in a blank PDF and made the "mouse up" action "Open a file" and linked to various documents on my computer.  Each time, the button does not react to being clicked at all, like nothing happened.
    I also tried making a basic Word doc with just the hyperlink to another document.  It works fine in Word, but, when saved as a PDF, the hyperlink does the same behavior-- tries to connect to the web instead of opening the file on the computer.
    I have a lot of experience building Acrobat PDF forms and working in Acrobat, and I'm almost certain I've created links that open another file on the computer in Acrobat before, but I'm out of ideas and an internet search isn't turning up much.  I welcome any suggestions for things to try.  Thank you!

    This is what I currently have, and it attempts to open in a web browser.  Do you know of a setting in Acrobat I might need to change, or any other solution to tell Acrobat to open the "file:" URL as a document, not try to start the web browser?

  • How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

    When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
    Thanks.

    I ask a question here as a last resort -- after I've done what I think
    is an appropriate search for answers.
    But thanks for your help in any case.

  • How to set "Date Modified" as default tab in Open File window

    Photoshop CS5.1
    When I click on Open File, the window that comes up has several default columns (FileName, Date, Size, etc).
    I can right-click on the tab bar and add "Date Modified" to the tabs, but I would like to have "Date Modified" be a default column whenever I open the file selector (and no matter which folder I open up).
    I cannot find a way to do this. I want to know the last date I modified a file, not when it was created.
    Is there a way to universally set this column as a default?

    Date modified always shows for me in Details view.
    I believe what columns are showing has to do with what columns you've set in Windows Explorer...
    Here's an excerpt paraphrased from my Configure the Windows 7 "To Work" Options book that may cover what you need:
    Open Windows Explorer...
    Navigate to a folder of the type you want to see (e.g., one containing your Photoshop images) and set Details view. 
    Make the window look the way you'd like future Explorer windows to look.  Reorganize Details view columns, e.g., to Name, Size, Type, Date Created, Date Modified, Attributes, etc. and size them so they fit.
    Choose Tools - Folder options, then click the View tab.
    Click [ Apply to Folders ] to apply the above settings to all folders.
    [ OK ] to exit.
    Hope this helps. 
    If the Date modified still doesn't stick for you, there are some other things I've done (and documented) to tweak the configuration of my systems that may help make my seeing the columns being set as shown in the attached image when I choose File - Open in Photoshop.
