Deleting default applications
Hi,
Recently got my iPhone 4 and I cannot for the life of me get rid of the apps that came with it like the DoodleJump trial and Glee and all this other stuff.
If I tap the app and hold it, nothing shakes around. I can't rearrange things or delete it like that.
And if I delete it through itunes when I'm arranging my apps, then apply the settings, they all just come back. :/
I recently upgraded to the latest iOS 4 version tonight, 4.2.1.
Any help on how to clear up my screen and get rid of these unwanted apps would be very appreciated!
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Just a quick update on this.
Talked to Optus today, was told that these were the iPhones they always gave away or used for promotional purposes, and that they have full functionality as an iPhone 4, the only thing being different is that the pre-loaded apps will stay.
From my albeit limited experience, I can browse the internet, text, call people, and other things, and so far it's worked fine as a functional iPhone 4.
The only issues I've noticed are:
- I cannot re-arrange apps and delete them from my iPhone, I must do it through iTunes (the pre-loaded apps cannot be deleted, BUT they can be all put into a couple of folders for the sake of de-cluttering, so I've kinda solved that issue).
- I also cannot download apps from the App Store via my iPhone, it also must be done through iTunes.
Does anyone have any information about any other reported limitations of Demo models?
What about the settings that I supposedly can't access or change?
As I have nothing to compare it with, I'm unsure what settings I may not have, if any.
Just curious that's all.

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? -

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.

My default applications keep resetting
For a little while now (but crucially not since I first purchased my MacBook) my default application settings are resetting themselves. I use Adobe for PDFs, Adium for chat and BonEcho (Intel Mac Firefox build) for the web, but I am constantly being asked if I want to set these applications as default when I start them up.
Does anyone know why my system isn't retaining my default application change? More importantly, can anyone think of a way I could fix this once and for all?
I'm reluctant to delete Safari, iChat and Preview as a fix, so if this could be avoided, then all the better.

Default application settings loses on restart or LaunchServices problem?
Hello,
Problem:
After doing this tutorial:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428. I have a problem with default application settings (file association). In other words, file function "Open with" is empty. I chose default app for specific file type, do function "change all" (or just start specific application) and everything works fine. Files are associated whit that app. But after restar (or shutdown) every association is reset to none (open whit also empty). FileVault is off.
So after restart I must to associate files whit programs manual, or launch all programs.
What I tried:
Deleting com.apple.LaunchServices.plist - no help
Script run in Terminal: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed - works, restores default applications and Open with list (but only till restart)
Onyx app - no help
MAINTENANCE app- works after first restart, after second restart the same problem
RCDefaultApp app- no help
Please any advice?Here is output:

none

Deleted default games from 2330 accidentally :(
I accidentally deleted default games from my 2330. I love the Galaxy Balls game. How can I restore it or is there any place where I can download it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!You can do either of the following :
1) On the phone, go to Application > Option > Game Download and try to download the game using the phone, as long as the game is still available from the server. Warning : This may required data connection on your phone, along with a data plan from your phone provider.

Finder cannot open HOME folder - "There is no default application specified
HELP! Starting this morning, after a reboot, Finder will not open my home folder. If I open a Finder window and try to open "jen" which is my wife's home folder (and what we're logged in as) Finder says "There is no default application specified to open the document Jen". If I go to this folder through Macintosh HD->Users->Jen I get the same message.
If I click on this folder in the Finder window it doesn't show an arrow indicating that it is a directory and under the "Preview" pane, it shows the house icon, but says the "Kind" is a "Package" (??).
HOWEVER, everything else still works. The desktop is populated. All the applicatiosn like Itunes and Iphoto find the photos and songs.
If I go into Utilities->Terminal and use the bash shell I can see that the /Users/jen folder IS intact and all of the files are there.
Is this some type of Finder damage?
Ideas on how to fix?? I'm a Windows and Linux expert, but pretty new to Mac, so I'm perplexed.
I thought maybe a permissions issue, and I tried the disk utility->Repair disk permissions and that didn't help.
This is what the "jen" folder shows for permissions and attributes in the bash shell:
cd /Users
ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 28 jen jen 952 Dec 21 09:38 jen
I MIGHT have injected this problem, because I was having a problem where I could not see volumes on the desktop when I double clicked a DMG file (it worked before), and I was playing around with a few DMG images, and I tried one on the Apple website called dragster which said it changed Finder and then I uninstalled it. I think the problem started after this.
I THINK everything else is fine, from what I can see.
Help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
GregFor those who may hit this problem in the future, I figured what my solution was, and called Apple support and they confirmed it was my best option. To fix it:
1. In NetInfo Manager, enable root access.
2. Log off.
3. Login as root userid with the root password (make sure you set one in NetInfo Manager)
4. As root, copy the folder, which Finder thinks is a 'package' to a backup drive or if no backup drive then some other location outside of /Users.
NOTE: I found if I clicked on the Users/<userid> folder once to highlight it in Finder, then under the gear icon chose "Open Package Contents" it would launch a finder window and show you all of the files in the users folder - that way you could grab them and copy them over if you wanted to do it that way, but dragging the 'package' over works fine too. One other option, in the bash shell IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE:
cp -R /Users/<userid> <backupdrive>/<backupfolder>
5. Once you are sure you've backed up the damaged users folder, go into System Preferences -> Accounts. Delete the damaged users userid. When it prompts you if you want to delete immediately, you should probably not click that but instead click the button to create a backup image of the users home folder. This will create an image in /home/Delete_users/<userid>.dmg that is a another backup of the users data. Then the /Users/<userid> data is deleted and the account is gone.
6. Recreate the user account, setup the same settings as you used before.
7. Copy the data from the backup drive/folder to the new /Users/<userid> folder. You don't have to copy all of the data back, just the users settings and personal files. You can find info on what is users personal folders vs control folders elsewhere. I guess if in doubt copy it all back over.
8. Next, you need to give the userid permission to their files since they will be set to be owned as root since root copied them out and back in.
In Applications->Utilities->Terminal
chown -R <userid>:<userid> /Users/<userid>
So I did:
chown -R jen:jen /Users/jen
That sets jen to be owner of all files and folders under /Users/jen
9. Logoff as root.
10. Login as the once damaged userid. It should work, all settings should still be intact, and you should have a normal 'home' folder you can get into through Finder.
11. Go into NetInfo manager and under the 'Security' menu 'Disable root access' to disable the root userid again.
12. Keep your backup of your home folder for a while until your comfortable everything has been restored.
There MIGHT be an easier way to reset this, maybe with some AppleScript, but I don't know it.
There you go. -
Deleted default Photoshop CS5 Save for Web settings, but they return after a restart
How do I permanently delete the default Save for Web settings that come with Photoshop CS5? (Default Settings.iros, Background Image.iros, etc)
In CS4 you deleted them once, and they were gone. In CS5, if you delete them, they are recreated when you restart PS. Same goes for any Optimized Settings (GIF 32 Dithered.irs, JPEG Low.irs, etc), they simply can't be permanently removed, and I'm left scrolling through a long menu of things I'll never use.
I have no use for XHTML.iros, GIF 32 Dithered.irs, or any of these settings, just like I have no use for most of the stock presets in PS, why can't I customize these presets like I can customize everything else?BlowPurp wrote:
>It's my observation that many of these files are auto-generated on the first run of Photoshop.
>It's possible the specific files you've referred-to are now simply auto-generated when they are found to be missing.
Yes, they are, how do I stop that?
I don't know that you can.
Ok, we have a way to save them, but not delete them, so what if I accidentally Save one I don't want? Or what if I Save one now, but later don't want it anymore. We're supposed to infer Adobe didn't intend us to ever Delete custom settings we Saved ourselves?!
I suppose there's an implication that you'll be given the defaults by Photoshop, but that anything you create yourself can be deleted by yourself. I admit it's not a very clear interface. For what it's worth, my own applications provide an explicit "Delete" capability, have defaults that don't manifest as actual files (and are always at the top of the list), and the app doesn't allow you to even try to delete the application-provided settings (Delete is grayed-out). I thought the whole settings thing through and tried to make sure it was more clear than parts of the Photoshop interface:
> Have you found some documentation from Adobe that states that you can effectively customize your installation by deleting these files?
Yes, in the FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
Well, from what I can see that thread was written by someone other than an Adobe Employee, and it doesn't mention .iros files at all.
And what it seems to say is that you can reset your preferences to defaults (i.e., invoke auto-generation of a new prefs file) by deleting the old prefs file, which is what's happening for you.

Bonjour,

Sincèrement,
Gala Sibiliova ([email protected])Well, by default SQL*Loader new line as end of record. Since your logical record in question consists of multiple lines each line is treated as a seaparate record. As a result, SQL*Loader finds a record with starting double quote without matching ending double quote. You must to use stream record format option in SQL*Loader by using
INFILE whatever-your-infile-is "str X'xxxx'"where xxxx are charactercombination SQL*Loader should use as record separator in hexidecimal format.

How To Delete old applications in iPod Touch
I downloaded many applications when I bought my iPod touch,, now that I wanted to delete some applications,, I can't delete it,, I tried to touch the application longer, but there are no "x" in the upper left of those application that I wanted to delete,, How can I delete those applications??
No good.
- If the Restrictions passcode was added since the last sync/backup then restore from that backup. Turn off Autosyncing otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the old backup will be overwritten and the backup with than have the Restrictions Passcode.
- Otherwise you will have to restore the iPod to factory default/new iPod.
If the Restrictions passcode is i the backup, restoring the iPod from backup will also restore the Restrictions passcode. -

Sorry such a stupid question but,
New to using a mac but just wanted to know the correct way to delete a application so I delete application along with other related files.Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Hi,
How can I delete DEFAULT clause from column definitions without dropping
column itself?
After:
CREATE TABLE my_table (my_column DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE);
all worked fine. Now I don't need in this DEFAULT clause.
So I tried
ALTER TABLE my_table MODIFY (my_column);
but it had no effect.
I can do
ALTER TABLE my_table MODIFY (my_column DEFAULT NULL);
and it works, but how to delete "empty" DEFAULT clause completely?
Thank for your help.Hi user594985,
Do you want your own custom login page or are you trying to have no login requirement and just go straight to a home page for the app of some sorts?
If it is the former then by all means just edit your existing login page (101 by default) or create your own from scratch and define it as your login page. To do this just edit your application attibutes to point to this new page on login, logout and session timeout etc...
Cheers,
Mike

How to change default application associated with some mime types?
When we install some new program, for example GIMP, I assume the newly installed program is added to some mime type database, and the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache file is automatically generated.
Using my example, GIMP will be the default application for all its registered mime types, even application/pdf. I surely don't want this to happen, and I surely don't want to create all kinds of files that GIMP registered and right click on them and choose Properties and then change it in the Open with... tab. I want to systematically de-prioritize GIMP so that it will not override my previously assigned default applications.
I wrote a script to modify the mimeinfo.cache file, and it seems to work great. However, after a reboot or upgrade or something I didn't notice, the default application of application/pdf is reconfigured to GIMP. I think the cache suffix of the file indicates that it is just a cache and may be changed by system unnoticed. So I am looking for a new way to change the default applications.
As far as I know or guess from the phenomena, there should be some system utility that generates the mimeinfo.cache file, it seems to parse all the *.desktop files under /usr/share/applications and register them to certain mime types accordingly. The sequence of the *.desktop files get parsed seems to be related to the time the application is installed, and the newly installed applications seems to be parsed later and inserted in the front of the application list or be parsed earlier and appended to the application list. Is there some place I can change the sequence of the parsing? Or is there some place I can change the behavior of the system utility?
I know that I can populate my ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list to override the system wide defaults, however, I want a more elegant way to this.
Any opinion on this is welcomed.
Last edited by AugustePop (2010-05-14 05:47:15)Ah, right. Don't know what DE you are on, but in Gnome: right-click a (e.g. pdf) file -> Preferences -> Open with.
All Applications listed there will be available from the right click menu, the marked one will be used on double-click.
errgrh...
I surely don't want to create all kinds of files that GIMP registered and right click on them and choose Properties and then change it in the Open with... tab. I want to systematically de-prioritize GIMP so that it will not override my previously assigned default applications.
I guess what I am trying to propose is this: "de-prioritize" GIMP in its .dekstop file for the types you dont want it to be associated with, and manually add it back in through "Open With" for the file types you want it to be an option. Not sure if this is solving anything for you though
