Dropbox no longer an "open in" option in iOS 5.1.1 for iPad

I recently updated my iPad software to iOS 5.1.1 and I can no longer "Open In" Dropbox. I can still open in all other apps such as Kindle, Evernote, etc. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you.

Thanks msmit, I did try that. I went back and updated some other apps which solved the problem. Interestingly, Dropbox was not one of the apps that had an update.

Anyway to restore Dropbox connectivity to iOS 5.1.1 for iPad 1

Hi all,
I mistakenly thought I'd do a full restore on my old iPad and I'd get everything back. BIG MISTAKE!!! A lot of apps have been removed prior to IOS7 (I thought I was given the option to restore to the last available version - but not for everything). Part of this is DropBox (as well as Facebook). Are there any alternatives or anyway I can retrieve my old DropBox app for my iPad 1 runnign IOS 5.1.1
Thanks.

OK, for those that might have the same problem, I found a solution.
Apps that were downloaded directly to the iPad doesn't update itself to the last available compatible version. However, if you select those apps in iTunes and downloaded them again in iTunes (for me it was Facebook & Dropbox) - it will attempt to download them to the iPad as well (if you've got your iPad set to sync via Wifi as well as automatically download new apps). It will attempt to download and fail, because it stupidly tries to download the latest version for iOS7 into your old iPad 1 iOS5.1.1 Delete the "stuck" failed downloads and now re-download the those apps from the iPad Apps Store, now it will give you the choice to download the last compatible versions of those apps!
Yay. Wierd workaround though.

My apps won't open after upgrading to iOS 5.0 on my iPad.....what do I do?

Recently I decided to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5.0 and since then I cannot open any of my apps that I have downloaded. What gives?

Try updating an app or downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

HT2534 No "none" option on IOS 4.3.4 for credit card/payment info

I tried what the above URL said by going to my iStore account and entering my existing ID. It forces me to go to my account settings and in the account settings, there is no "none" option.
Its my view that its rather foolish of Apple to demand payment methods just to create an account. There are tons of free aps.
And, no, I do not wish to upgrade to the latest IOS version which brings its own set of peculiarities. I would claim Apple's basic model is broken by insisting people supply their credit cards just to create accounts.
I find this to be a consistent theme in Apple's UI. This ecosystem operates under the model that Apple wants to micromanage and control every single aspect of the user's experience without any consideration for their options. Of course, its Apple's right to behave the way they wish. They' will just have to do it without the cooperation of users like me. I'll stay with other platforms. I refuse to divulge my private information.

If you want to use the email address that you used on the first account then you will need to remove it from that first account before you can do so e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's or via http://appleid.apple.com - you can create a new email address via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com to replace it with.

IBA: Is it possible to make an iTunes book link to open in Safari instead of iBooks on iPhone for iPad books?

This message comes up on iPhone: “Item not available - This book is only viewable on an iPad or a Mac with iBooks”. It would be good to be able to show info about an iPad/Mac book on iPhones.

To ask Apple to add this feature you need to post at

EMAIL ATTACHMENTS NO LONGER HAVE OPEN OPTION (ONLY...

I am using BT email (I have Windows 8.1), and last week by email suddenly stopped offering the Open attacment option, and I could only Save the attachment . I have contacted BT Live help and they recommended re-setting Internet options (which I have done), checking Security levels (done) and also trying Google Chrome then opening emails through it. I have tried to install Google Chrome but this does not allow me to "Run" it (again only offering the Save option).
Can anyone help please?. Incidentally I did try my emails today in Outlook and they can download correctly there, but I prefer the BT set up. Also my BT email works fine for attachments on our laptop.

hi I have tried looking at BT emails through Chrome but I still have the same problem. Also the images for emails are no longer showing, even though I have checked the Mail Options (there is no "Show images" button either on these emails).
I have also tried troubleshooting via the Control panel but nothing has changed. I am able to Save the attachments via a temporary file then open them that way, but as I have a lot , this is not Ideal.
many thanks for any suggestions (please!)

How can I put OSX 10.7 on a new Macbook Air. Maverick no longer allows "open file in a new window" and I really miss it. At the Apple Store they told me it can't be added to the new OSX 10.10 so I want to change the OSX on the new Macbook Air and it

I have been using a 2012 Mac pro to do HD video editing. I bought a new portable Macbook Air only to find that Maverick no longer has "open files in a new window" which I use all the time in the very large folders of video clips and royalty-free music. I asked at the Apple Store how I could get this back on the Macbook Air and they said it couldn't be done so I thought I would re-format the HD and install 10.7 on it and was notified by the Macbook Air I can't put 10.7 on that computer. Apple use to give this as an option but now they have gone more to the attitude of "Do it our way or go to ****!" In anger I went out and bought a Dell Laptop and Pinnacle Studio 17 which I have been learning to use. I have been an Apple/Mac user since 1979 and would still rather do my video editing on a Mac. Is there any way that I can force the Macbook Air to let me load in OSX 10.7 where there is still the option to "open files in a new window" or is there a way to add this to Maverick? The experts at the Madison, WI Couldn't give me any help on this.

Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and uncheck the box to open folders in a new tab.

The "always open with-" option doesn't work!

Is there a way to get the "Always open with" option when doing a (control) (option) click on a file to actually ALWAYS open with the application I choose? Could this feature be broken or perhaps mislabeled?
Here's what happens; I'll set a file to "always open with" one application. I work on that file and save it. The next time I try to open that file it opens with the snow leopard default application instead of using the application I directed it to "Always open with".
I don't want to open every file type with this application so I'm not setting "apply to all" in the info window/ inspector, I simply want this one file to always open with the application I've selected.
I'm hoping some of you super mac users will know a trick to make this work.

I want to open a few select files with a non-default application (now that the creation code is not used.)...If I work on the file and make/save any changes, it reverts to the default app.
Aha! Okay, I don't think any of us were getting that in the initial posts. You are correct. Snow Leopard no longer uses Type and Creator codes by default, but they are still there. Various things are keeping you from doing what you want.
1) Newer programs that do not use Type and Creator codes at all still need a way to tell the OS what files belong to them. Since at least back as far as Leopard (likely earlier), the system now uses Uniform Type Identifiers. As far as keeping track of what files belong to what applications, they serve the same purpose as Type and Creator codes. So when you save changes, it will indeed revert back to the default app since the file once again gets saved with that program's UTI data.
2) Some programs use both UTI and Type and Creator codes. Usually older apps that have come from PPC code. I would guess that would be either because the developer doesn't want to waste time removing the code that adds the Type and Creator codes to the files, or more likely, to make sure files passed to other users still on older Macs that don't use UTI won't have trouble opening them.
3) I use some much older apps which have still not been rewritten at all for Intel Macs and are still all PPC code. They still write Type and Creator codes.

On iPhoto, I can no longer access the 'Classic' option which would lay out my photos on the page. It will send them as attachments only. I need the page layout for my work. Any thoughts as to why this has changed?

On iPhoto, I can no longer access the 'Classic' option which would lay out my photos on the page. It will send them as attachments only. I need the page layout for my work. Any thoughts as to why this has changed? It used to fully lay out the photos so I could add notes and detailed information before I sent them. I am thinking it is something simple that I have just missed...

The "Photos" view has been replaced by the Media Browser.
Most applications will show you the Photos icon in the Sidebar, when you need to select photos in a file chooser dialoge. Mail, Safari, the iWork apps. See Terence Devlin's User Tip: How to Access Files in iPhoto
For example, in the File > Open dialogue in Preview I am seeing this in the sidebar.

Since upgrading to FF5, "mailto" links no longer work - my "tools/options/applications/mailto" is set to gmail.

Since upgrading to FF5, "mailto" links no longer work - my "tools/options/applications/mailto" is set to gmail.
Previously, when I clicked onto an email link, my gmail would open up.
Now, nothing happens.

Please do the following. 
#Open Microsoft Internet Explorer and then click '''Tools '''and go to '''Internet Options'''. 
#Click the ''Programs ''tab and where you see "Email", choose your email client. 
#Remove the checkmark from where it says "''Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default browser''" in the same menu. 
#Click Apply/OK and close Internet Explorer. 
#Next, start Firefox and click the orange Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''Advanced'''. 
#In the '''General '''tab, '''System Defaults''' at the bottom, checkmark the option: "'''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup'''" and then click the "''Check Now''" button. 
#Click OK, close Firefox and then restart it again.
You should now have a mailto: option in the Applications panel.

Can I control the "open with" options in apps on the ipad?

I have a school loop app that allows access to files stored in a remote folder, similar to dropbox. I can see the files and when I select one I have an option to choose which app to used to open a document (it might be a word doc, a pdf, a ppt, etc.). The app options that show as available are not the apps that will open documents, however, I do have apps on my ipad that will open they - but they do not show up, ie: PDF Expert, Quick Office, Pages, etc. Can I control what apps appear in "open with" dialogue boxes?
Thanks for any help.

Simple answer: no.

I cant open internet option in maps-tools-setting-...

i cant open internet option in maps-tools-setting-internet in nokia e71

I had exactly the same problem with my Nokia E66.
I upgraded my phone´s software to version 500.21.009. It brought many good things including the latest Maps application. Maps application worked very well, but I also had problems with the Internet Settings (as the first writer) of the Maps application. When trying to access the Internet Settings the Maps application it crashed and kicked me out of the application. However, when accessing the other Settings (navigation, route, map) that problem did not occur. The Internet settings of the Maps application are essential, because from there you can switch between “online” and “offline” modes.
I solved this problem (please note that this worked with my E66 and hopefully with others too) by resetting my phone to “factory settings”. I used the so called hard reset by entering *#7370# and the code 12345. It is essential, before doing this, to take a back up copy of your files/data/settings with the PC Suite Content copier. Note that the “hard reset” erases all your photos, messages, calendar notes etc.
After the “hard reset” the Internet Settings of the Maps application worked fine, but of course all my data had gone. Then I used the Content Copier to restore my data/files/settings etc. After this restore the problems with the Internet Settings of the Maps application came back.
I used the “hard reset” again, but this time when restoring my data/files/settings etc. I did not restore my old Settings. (You can choose in the Content Copier what to restore). After this restore (did not restore the old settings) the Internet Settings of the Maps application works just fine. The bad thing is that you do not have the settings you used to have, but it does not take so long to manually go through your phone and fix the settings as you like them.
PS. The “soft reset” *#7780# did not work with my phone. Further the dictionary (translator) does not work at all. The application does not even open/start. It did not even open/start when I had the factory settings (not restored any data/files etc..)

Lost start menu icons and not listed in right click open with option +more.

Weird. I need help. Quicktime 7.3.0.70 only--Start menu lost it's icons in the quicktime folder. When right clicking video files, the "open with" option no longer displays quicktime as a program. And lastly, open an avi file or even mpg and the program stops responding without even getting to play the file. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but can't seem to fix these issues. Can anyone help? Thanks. This just seemed to happen out of the blue.

I also have lost the icons for Quicktime in my start menu under Windows XP. The icons actually work when you do click them but the icons are not loaded. Everything functions fine and it's the newest version of Quicktime installed. I also have the newest version of iTunes installed. I ended up manually adding my own icons on the start menu as I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime several times to no avail and even attempted to flush the windows icon cache. No go. This just started happening recently.
It's not happening on my WinXP Pro laptop however, although I've yet to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes+Quicktime.
*Right-Click Open With Menu still functions properly and the icon image is appearing correctly in that menu.

Open With option

I used to like the Open With option for PSE7 when viewing in My Pictures in Vista but this is no longer an option with PSE10 - can it be restored please?

It’s working OK. You may need to click on Choose Default Program and then navigate to the Editor exe file.
