Download file keeps asking to save although "Do this automatically for files like this from now " is checked

After downloading a open office document from a server I always get the question to open or to save it. I checked to open the file after downloading it to a tempory map.
After downloading another open office document I always get the same question even when I checked "Do this automatically for files like this from now ".
Is there a possibility to get rid of the question?

Tx for the reply but no answer found in the article.
"Once you have made a selection, checking the box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." will cause the file type and action to be displayed in the Applications tab as shown below (in this example the selected application is TextEdit)."
FF works like described in the quote but nothing about immediately opening the file with the specified program. I've tested several possibilities but I always get the question what to do before opening the file. The "automatically"-option doesn't work for open office.
Any other suggestions?

  • I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information.

    I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information. I have tried it several times.. But it says I cannot download this app unless I give my payment information.. So I went back and looked again and again.. and it still says it's "Free"...

    You need to contact the authors re download or payment issues - we are only users like yourself and help with iPhoto for the Mac issues
    here is Old TOad's list of potential packages including his comments
    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • When downloading a file, I select "Save File", but I'm unable to check the box label "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." The box is faded out. It's very tedious when you have to select "Save File" everytime

    Click on the file to download
    The "Open" Dialog Box pops up
    Select "Save File"
    Try to click on the box labeled ""Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
    The box is disable

  • TS1702 Telegraph subscription will not download. Keeps asking me to purchase again.

    Telegraph subscription will not download. Keeps asking me to purchase again.

    Okay, well the question now is - what exactly has he sent you?
    Is it a link to a website, where you can download the album that he has purchased for you, as a gift? I would expect instructions to be provided to you, telling you what to do. (Note, a link to a digital album, or album. Not a CD.)
    If he did the above, where did he purchase this album? (If "it" asks you to download iTunes, that suggests that it was the iTunes Store.)
    Did he simply try and send you songs he has in his iTunes Library, that he purchased on his account, for his Library (not yours)?

  • Ho do i unselect the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." in the download dialog box?

    I have mistakenly clicked on the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" in the download dialogue box. I want to open a pdf in adobe when I click on the link. currently the file just gets saved and I cannot change it. I have read thru the suggestions and gone into tools> options> applications and reassigned all of the pdf options to ask first and firefox still just downloads the files to somewhere. I don't want this option and I need to unselect the automatic box.
    How do i do so?
    I would really like to talk to someone on the phone.

    Ok, do this:
    #Go to www.getfirefox.com, and download Firefox. Install it over your current version of Firefox
    #After installing Firefox 18, then try to Reset.

    interface F8
    ip nat inside
    interface G0

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

  • How do i make firefox automatically open a file. "Do this automatically with files like this from now on." does NOT work.

    I have firefox set to Open .wav files with VLC and i have the check box marked to "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." But every time i click download for a .wav voicemail from gmail, i get the same dialog box. I just want firefox to hand the downloaded file to VLC and play it. I don't want to have to click anything after i click the download link. Isn't that action what i'm telling firefox to do after i mark the checkbox with "Do this automatically with file like this from now on." ? Isn't that implied with my selection of the box? How can i fix this?i want to click a "download" link for a .wav voice mail in Gmail and have it automatically play in VLC without any further interaction from me.

    No it's saving the preferences and the check box remains checked from session to session. It will even continue to ask me to what to do with the file even in the same session when i try to download the same file again 5 seconds after i downloaded it the first time.

  • Can't figure out why the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" is disabled Compressed (zipped) Folders

    I recently had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Now with the new version it will not allow me to click the check box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on". The line is disabled and a light gray. I went into the Applications tab under options and can't find the Compressed (zipped) Folders file type either.
    I download a bunch of files for work and to have to click is going to be the biggest pain. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    Yes, under the Settings for the store, you can turn off the auto download for purchases, that way if you purchase an app on another device it will not automatically download on that device.  You would need to do this on both your iPad and iPhone.

  • How to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it using mac but what happen was opposite!

    how to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it few times but what happen was the opposite.

    If you want to sync your iTunes library on your Mac to your iPad ....
    Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad's name on the left side under the devices heading. Then click on the Music tab - and select the music that you want to transfer. Does your iTunes window look like this - with Sync Music checked and the playlists or albums checked as well like in the photo below?
    When you click on the apps tab do you have Sync Apps checked and all of the apps in the window below checked to sync as well?
    If you select all of the items under the different tabs in iTunes - music, apps, photos. etc. - when you sync - all of the selected content should sync over to the iPad.

  • Downloading firefox. keep asking close firefox. there is no firefox opennn

    In the upper left hand of the screen a pop up showing " firefox 3.6.13 available". In the process of down loading it keep ask to close fire fox when there is no fire fox open.

    dunno why the close button(cross)is missing in your application, because it's visible in mine.perhaps u should uninstall FF, and download a completely new setup from the site, then run it.When i downloaded the setup the first time,my FF crashed and the monitor displayed that the files were corrupt.So i downloaded the setup again from chrome, and now it's working perfectly, with the close tabs button available.
    If that doesn't work, switch to Chrome for a few days, until FF4 becomes popular and there are more people using it.Mozilla will surely release a good version then.

  • I have iPhoto '09 v 8.1.2 and it will not install v9.2.1 that i downloaded. Keeps asking for me to have v9.0 or higher. Any ideas please?

    Hi, I have iPhoto'09 v8.1.2 (424). I have downloaded v9.2.1 update and it will not install.
    Keeps asking for me to have v 9.0 or later. Now i have downloaded 9.1update plus 9.1.3 and they will not install either.
    Do i need 9.0 and if so where do i get it? THANKS  nomadreg

    No, iLIfe is a suite of applications: iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand (earlier versions of the suite also contained iDVD ad iWeb).

    Hello Trisha cottle,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5366
    When you create a new store account or sign in with an existing Apple ID (that you haven't used in the store), you must provide a payment method.
    Have a nice day,
