Docx does not automatically open with word

I have selected Microsoft Office as my default reader for docx. I have checked the "do this automatically for files like this from now on" box. Yet I still get the dialog box (with the automatic option checked) when trying to open word docs. I click "okay" and it works fine. However, I want it to open automatically. I have windows 8 and microsoft office 2013.

You can only set an automatic action properly when you save a file that is send by the web server with the correct MIME type for this file, otherwise it will likely fail.<br />
A MIME type as send by the server will always prevail the file extension, so servers need to be configured properly.

New window does not automatically open with Safari

When I open Safari by clicking on the icon in the dock, the menu at the top looks like Safari is open, but no window opens. I then have to click on:
File>New Window to actually open a window and browse.
This just started happening.
Any solutions out there?

I copied the file that is meantioned to the desktop, opened it by doubleclicking and searched for ”OpenWindow”. You'll find it a few lines from top. It has no number typed so I typed ”1” and closed the app. It asked me to save with extension ”.ooutline”. You can save it with that extension but on the desktop you'll need to re-name its extension to ”.plist”. I did that and dragged the file back to its original location. You'll be asked if you would like to replace the file, click Yes. Now I have a Safari opening the window as usual.
This can happen in case you re-install the operative system on your Mac, the Safari is updated but the Safari on the CD is older, which is overwriting your newer Safari you already have with the older version from the CD-ROM and this problem occur: you see Safari opening up, you see the menues on top of your screen but no window is open in Safari.
I hope this helps.

When I click on a link in an email, it does not automatically open the site page? When I receive an email with a link in it, if I click on the link to open the page, nothing happens. It does not open the internet to that page.

I don't appear to have a toolbar either.

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open.

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open (as it did when I used previous versions Photoshop Elements 4 and 9). I can't even right-click (Windows) on the picture and choose Open With and specifiy Photoshop Elements 12. I have called Adobe several times (Case No. 185140584) and they keep saying it has been sent up to senior management and they will call me back with a solution - but to no avail! No return calls and I still can't really use the Product I paid for and downloaded. The only way I can open up a picture to edit it is to open Photoshop Elements 12 and then then click "Open" and then search for the picture on my hard drive (which takes a lot more time! I did not experience this difficulty at all with versions 4 or 9!

Hi,
You failed to say which Windows system you have - I can get the "Open With" to work on my Windows 7 64bit system.
When you try to set up the "Open With", are you setting the correct target program?
It's the green one (not the red one) in the above image.
Once you have selected that program, make sure you set it as default so that a double click will open the photo in the editor.
Good luck

Adobe Reader does not automatically associate with PDF files in Xp Sp3

I have reinstalled Reader (twice) and it does not automatically associate with PDF files.
How do I fix this problem?
Cheers, JH

The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?

Google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

When Safari launches, tap in the address field (the one on the left) and type "www.google.com" then hit the "Go" button.
After the page finishes loading, hit the "Action" button (the middle button on the bottom button bar that looks like an arrow coming out of a rectangle) and select "Add to Bookmarks" to add the Google page to your bookmarks.
After that, you can hit the Bookmarks button (the button that looks like an open book in the bottom button bar) to access the Google bookmark you just created.

Adobe does NOT automatically open when attachments are 'clicked'

Thanks for reading this post. When openning a PDF file attachment within an email or a link from a website, Adobe does not automatically launch to view the documents. In fact, the file conversion screen pops up instead when I select the 'open' tab from the attachment. When I click the 'save' option, the save file type only includes HTLM and ALL Files..... this is odd why PDF is not a save type option. Anyway, any assistance to alievate this problem will be helpful. This is very frustration.... I was also wondering if this could be my Norton 360 that is causing these problems....

Bill was suggesting an alternative approach, making this the default setting in distiller. This is a preference settings in Distiller. I don't have Acrobat 9 on my Windows machine, but this is what is looks like on the Mac:

I am sorry to tell you that Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. There are unsupported methods for doing so, but we are forbidden to provide that information on these forums.

PDF does not automatically open when the PDF is generated

Here are my conditions:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Abobe Acrobat9 Pro version 9.4.2
"View Adobe PDF results" is checked under Adobe PDF Printing Preferences/Adobe PDF Settings
Here is the problem I am facing:
When I print a simple text file under Notepad to Adobe PDF (listed under Devices and Printers), a PDF file is generated but it does not open the newly generated file as it ought to.
If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them. I already went through the Repair Acrobat Installation routine. It didn't help.
Thank you.

QuickTime does not automatically open video clips when double clicked

Quicktime does not open video clips in iPhoto when the video clips are double clicked (nothing happens). Quicktime will open the video clip if I open quicktime
and ask it to open the video clip. Regular photos will expand as they should when they are double clicked.

It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.
Anyways, thanks Sabian,

JDeveloper 10.1.3 - Browser does not automatically open

i just recently migrated from jdeveloper 10.1.2 to jdeveloper 10.1.3. When i try to run my jsp files it compiles succesfully but no browser opens. In 10.1.2, the browser opens automatically. Is there something that I'm missing? Do I need to modify a config file or something?
please help.

I actually got it to work finally. The OC4J instance was not starting. I cut and pasted my migrated application out of JDeveloper and into a new instance of JDeveloper. I think added the application to the new JDeveloper instance and it was able to load fine. Thank you everyone.

Texting field does not automatically open upon tapping in iOS6?

Hey there,
I've noticed since I upgraded to iOS6 that the field at the bottom of my text message screen, which allows you to input the text message reply, doesn't open when you tap it. Instead, to open it up, I have to swipe from the bottom up.
Is this intentional, or is this something only applicable to my version of the operating system? It's extremely annoying, as when I'm at work it became a natural response to just tap the field and begin replying.
Thanks and regards.

Hi falkpl,
thanks for your work around.
I do not use a mouse click solution because I can not distinguish between a mouse click and a touch on the screen. And I prefer to not launch any on screen keyboard on a mouse click. Especially because the on screen keyboard opens anywhere on the screen and can hide the control. This is especially nasty when there is a physical keyboard (which is probably is connected when a mouse is there).
I could combine the ideas. Clicking in a control could open a VI nearby, which only shows a small keyboard icon. Clicking this icon would start an on screen keyboard (osk.exe, tabtip.exe, a keyboard written in LabVIEW).
But this is reprogramming the existing behaviour of windows, not really funny.
Placing the "Keyboard Icon Button" VI nicely would take some time, but should work because all is in LabVIEW. (It would also open when using the mouse, but only a small icon should be ok.) For not hiding the active control by the on screen keyboard, the task gets hard. (Positioning the TabTip.exe window is not easy, and creating [or adapting] an on screen keyboard in pure LabVIEW brings some other problems.)
Should we vote for Touchpanel-Control-Suite-with-Native-LabVIEW-On-screen-Keyboard or is it different from our needs? (I'd prefer to have the functionality in all control styles, not only in a special "Touch Control" set. But maybe I misunderstand the idea.)
Greetings,
shb

In iPhoto8 inserting a Card reader does not automatically open iPhoto

In preferences it shows Connecting Camera: Opens iPhoto. Is there something else I should be doing. In previous versions it opened as soon as I inserted the card reader.

Sorry, I edited my post after thinking about it. I never connect my camera - I prefer to use a card reader and previously when I inserted the card reader into the slot on my laptop it would immediately start downloading the photos into iphoto - showing dups etc. Now, in iPhoto 8 I have to drag the disc (that appears when I insert the reader) from the desktop to iPhoto and then it starts the import.
