Default settings for opening documents

When I download a document e.g. from mail, it is set to automatically open as an 'open office' document.  I don't want this - how do I change the default setting? 
Thanks

Sorry, but I am late to this game. Same problem. When I double click a photo file (tif, jpg, nef, etc) Photoshop CS6 is launched, even if I am in Bridge CC. If I go to the "Get Info" and change the "open with" to Photoshop CC and select "Change All" it simply goes back to the Photoshop CS6 default. What am I misssing?
Thanks in advance

  • How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

    Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

    Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
    You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

  • How do you change default settings for Pdf document viewing?

    Somehow the default setting for all my PDF documents and photos is now ColorSync. How do I change the main default setting, which I think should be Safari?

    The default is Preview, and you change it thus:
    Select a pdf file, rightclick and select 'Get Info', in the pane that opens scroll down to the section marked 'Open With', select Preview and check the box to 'Change All'

  • Default settings for opening EPS files

    When opening an Illustrator-made EPS in Photoshop, there is a "Rasterize EPS" dialog box, which you can specify the width, height, and resolution.  What are the default values for those fields based on?  Is there a way to change the default so that it is always set to open at 300dpi, for example?
    Thanks!

    A big thanks to Mr J Maloney, this is an excellent work around, however... (there's always a however), for some unknown reason, somewhere in the batch/droplet process, unlike CS3, CS4 automatically changes the colour mode to RGB, even although I set the action up to open the EPS as CMYK.
    I know that I could put an additional step in the action to convert to CMYK, which works, however for my specific requirements this doesn't work for me because all the black text in the EPS file which I specifically set in a previous app to be non-rich black (100K) changes to rich black if this additional step is put in, despite the image now being CMYK.
    The problem is that my work requires me to batch process hundreds of; CMYK, 300ppi EPS files and convert these into; CMYK, 300ppi JPG's for print (our printers only accept hi-res JPG's*). The problem is that our printers do not accept any text in rich black, so we have to convert the all black text to 100K. As there are also sometimes photo images along side the text, this makes it impossible to select just the text in a batch process situation, where all teh images are different.
    It seems to me that unlike CS3, CS4 almost seems to dictate that all EPS to JPG batch conversion's are for the Web hence it's RGB 72ppi defaults. However there are some people such as myself who need to retain control over the ppi and colour modes for the purposes of print and not web, so my long winded question is.......
    .....Does anyone know how to stop this RGB conversion in CS4?
    (Sorry about the length of this post, *and no, sadly I cannot change my printers)

  • How do I change the default settings for opening new window?

    Everytime I click on a link, new window would only open in new tab not new window. How would I change this default to open new windows instead of new tab?
    Thanks.

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences (or Command + comma on your keyboard).
    Click Tabs. You can set your preferences there.

  • Making iWork the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents

    Is there a way to make Pages, Numbers and Keynote the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents, such that if I double-click a Word document it launches Pages and opens, etc.? I know I can do it by double-clicking the Office document and dragging it to the appropriate iWork app in the dock, but it would be nice to have it happen by default. That way I can put Office in my rearview mirror!

    Fantastic - worked exactly as advertized. Thank you both!! Office is now a distant memory (except when I have to save in MS formats to send files to the unfortunate masses).
    Best regards,

  • How to change default settings for a video generator?

    I'm using a video generator (Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro) many times in the same project, and have to change the default settings for each new instance of the generator that I create. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default settings for a generator (i.e., length of clip, individual slider and checkbox settings in the "controls" tab) so that each new instance automatically has my customized settings when I first open it.
    Thanks.

    That works for the all the controls/filter settings. The clip length still defaults to 10 seconds, but that's OK, since the main thing I was looking for was to change the clip's internal settings. Thanks for your help

  • How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

    How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

    Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
    In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

  • Mail default applications for opening attachments

    I recently had to install Open Office in order to be able to open those kinds of documents produced by my colleagues. The only problem is that it now becomes the default application for opening .doc, .xls and .pps documents. I have changed this using command+i on each type and making sure I selected the "change all" so that each app opens under it's appropriate iWork program, but I still have a problem with Mail.
    In Mail, if I get a .doc attachment, clicking on it automatically launches Open Office. Worse, when I right-click and choose "open with", Open Office is listed twice at the top of the list!
    I loathe Open Office with a passion, not least because of this situation, but also because it frequently crashes and is still bound to using xterm. Nevertheless, I have to keep it as my colleagues are all on Ubuntu Linux and insist on using it for spreadsheets (to be honest, Open Office is okay on Linux).
    If only iWork apps could open OpenOffice documents... ah well.
    Any solutions would be most welcome!

    Here's how you can set your preference for which application to use on a given file type:
    1. select a file of that type
    2. press CMD-I to bring up the file information
    3. Click on the little triangle to expand the "Open With" section
    4. Select the application you want to use for that type of file
    5. Click on the "Change All" button
    This has worked for me in the case where I have Parallels Desktop installed and it wants to use my Office 2000 installation under Parallels to open MS Word & Excel attachments. I changed these to be opened by NeoOffice, and it works both from the finder and when opening attachments in Mail.
    I hope this helps...

  • Default app for opening attachments

    I have Appleworks 6.2.9 and the 30 day trial for office 2004. How the heck do I remove "word" as the default app for opening attachments and make Appleworks the default app!? I've read a whole lot of previous questions but can't get an answer. dlog

    If you are referring to Word files received as an email attachment, save the attachment from the message to the Desktop or your preferred location of choice.
    Select the Word file via the Finder and use Get Info for the file.
    At Open With, select AppleWorks via the pop-up window.
    Below "Use this application to open all documents like this", select Change All.

    Microsoft Office is not a free program, you have to purchase it.
    Some new PCs may have Office as a free trial, but when the trial is over, you will need to purchase it.

  • Change Defaults Settings for Safari

    Since I upgraded to the New Mountain Lion, the Default Settings for my Safari browser is Bay City. How do I change this where I live?

    HI Norm,
    Open System Preferences/Network. Select Airport in the panel in the left then click the Advanced tab then click the Proxies tab. Where you see: Select a protocol to configure Make sure there are NO boxes checked.
    Click the Airport tab in that same window. Make sure your network is listed under: Preferred Networks
    If not, cick + Type in your network name or click Show Networks and select it from there. Your network should be listed in the Preferred Networks window now. Just below that window select the box next to: Remember networks this computer has joined.
    If you still have problems, open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities)
    Select your device on the left then click Continue. In the next window click: I want to restore this AirPort device to its factory settings and then set it up again; then click Continue.
    I'm on Comcast without using any Proxies.
    You can disconnect the Comcast cable modem from it's power source for about 5 minutes then reconnect. Sometimes you have to recycle the modem.

    Also, on the G5. Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and move these files to the Trash.
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    com.apple.network.identification.plist
    You may only see the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file in that list since it's running 10.5.x
    Don't worry about the other .plist files if they are not available.

  • Is it possible to create a new tab in 'Default settings for items' option?

    Hi everybody
    I am Raghu working in EBP2.0 & I have come across a difficlty and that is of creating a new tab and also the fields 'GL a/c', 'cost centre' or 'internal order' in this new tab.
    First of all please let me know whether is it possible to create a new tab for these fields.
    The purpose of this new tab is to default the cost centre and GL account with reference to shopping cart.
    As per current scenario, user has to enter the cost centre & the GL code as many times as the number of items in a shopping cart. I mean, if you have 10 items in your shopping cart then 10 times user has to input the cost centre & GL account. To avoid this we are required to add new tab so that per shopping cart we can enter the GL account & cost centre only once.
    Your immediate response would be very much apprecited.
    Regards
    Raghu

    hi Ram & Sreenivas
    Thanks for your immediate response.
    Ram, we can default GL a/c & cost centre in org structure since client wants to us to keep the option of entering these for every shopping cart.
    Sreenivas, I checked the 'copy to clipboard' option & its not there in EBP2 and I feel what you meant as cost centre tab is account assignment tab.
    Let me explain you more clearly about this requirement.
    Current Scenario
    1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
    2.User has to enter cost centre & GL code 5 times & then he can order
    Required scenrio
    1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
    2.As per the proposed functionality, user will click on 'Default settings for items' button. Three tabs will appear-->Basic data, Internal note & Delivery Address.
    We have to provide a new tab here where in user will default his GL & cost centre for this shopping cart & then order. This will help user to avoid entering GL & cost centre 5 times.
    For some reasons our client is not interested in defaulting this data.
    Please help in this regard if time permits.
    Thanks
    Raghu

  • GL account given in Default Settings for Items is not taking precedence

    Hi All,
    Could you please give your valuable inputs for my query
    Which takes precedence....GL account given in Default Settings for Items at the top of the shop screen or the Product category and GL account assignment maintained in SRM GUI?
    Scenario: I input a GL account in 'Default Settings for Items' at the top of the shop screen. Then click on Describe Requirements. Here I change the Product Category and add the line item to shopping cart.
    What GL account will appear in the cost assignment? Default value maintained at the top or the value maintained in the Product category table.
    Thanks
    Deepthi....

    Hi Muthu,
    Thank you for your response.
    It is not picking the default G/L account assigned to cost center( I believe you are talking abt OKB9 trans). It is picking the G/L account which is assigned to the product category in the customising. This is happenning only if the product category is changed for the line item while adding the item to shopping cart. Otherwise the same G/L account given at the header is appearing in the line item too.
    Also While changing the G/L#  information in Default settings for items at top, if Cost center is also changed then the same cost center is appearing in the cost assignment section for the line item but not the G/L.
    Wanted to know if this is a standard design or not. I would like to have the header data to take precedence over the product category and G/L assignment. Any suggestions please
    No ..... I checked in csks table.There are many cost centers for the company code.
    Thanks
