When using safari, media such as mp4, as a web mail attachment (yahoo) is not opening in QuickTime . File association is broken. Does any1 have a solution?

When using safari, media such as mp4, as a web mail attachment (yahoo) is not opening in QuickTime . File association is broken.
If I use the mail application the attachment opens and I see the QuickTime logo on the attachment.
When using the web mail yahoo the attachment, an mp4 audio, opens a black page with a crossed triangle icon in the middle of the page.
Any solution ?
Thanks .

There's two ways you can deploy your aspx (layout) files. One is deploy in _Layouts folder (which basically copy the file in (c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\15\template\layouts). To copy file in that place, you don't
need module, just use SharePoint mapped folder.
Another way is to upload the layout folder in SharePoint library. But _catalogs is not the right place to upload your file (_catalogs doesn't have any subfolder named 'layouts'). You can upload your file in 'Pages' library or 'site pages' library in the
current web.
I'm not quite sure though (sorry I didn't get what the problem is but just guessed you are trying to get your aspx page in SharePoint designer, not sure why) why you need to upload the file in pages/site pages library instead of '_layouts' folder.
Thanks,

Fresh Leopard install gone Wrong - PKG Files Associated with Safari

I just purchased a used Macbook Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz that came with Tiger installed. I upgraded to Leopard by zeroing the hard drive and reinstalling Leopard and all updates.
The problem I am running into is that for some reason, and PKG files downloaded to install programs (i.e. Skype) will not install because the PKG file is associated with Safari. I check on my Mac Pro, and it has PKG files associated with "Installer". I tried to find "Installer" as a program on the Macbook but had no luck. Any ideas? With this being a fresh install I have NO idea how this happened. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm, I tried to associate a file with the Installer, but wasn't able to get the system to tell me where it is. There is a command line version of the installer in /usr/sbin/, and that may be what the system uses under the hood, but I couldn't find a way to get to that either (I was trying to do this in the Get Info pane, under Open With).
I don't know why pkg is associated with Safari. It could be that your launch services database got hosed somehow during your upgrade. If you're willing try something, it might be that rebuilding your launch services database will help. From the command line, run this command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
(the above should all be on one line). This will reset, then rebuild the database. Although I don't think it's strictly necessary, restarting your machine after this command has run successfully would probably be a good idea.

Now when I try to open the lecture slide downloades in my class it comes up as gibberish. How do I fix this file association problem. Instead of opening in microsoft power point it opens in a text editor which is unreadable.

HI..
If you are using Adobe Reader ...
Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then reinstall > http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

How to add new file associations/

How do I fix this below?
- Safari refuses to open csv files in excel -- instead when I click on a csv file from a website, it gives me a bunch of text. And when I try to save it to my desktop, it appends ".txt" to the end of the file name.
- How can I add/change file associations on mac using terminal?

Hi,
Here are two methods for you.
1. CSV file is 'comma separated values' in text file and so by default it will be saved as a .txt file. However while saving it onto the desktop you can choose .xls format in the drop down that specifies the format. Then try to open the file in Excel.
2. Right click on one of the text files stored and open it with the Excel. Then right click on the file name and go to 'Get Info'. From the get info window, change the file extension and under the open with drop down select Excel.
If these two options are not working then probably the file cannot be imported to Excel or Excel is not installed.
Hope this helps you........... Regards

File associations in Windows 8.1 for applications on a network location

Hi,
From Windows 7 to Windows 8 it has been done alot of changes regarding file file assocations. It seem that the main reason was security and was "patched" by having Windows read the hash for the applications instead of where the application was
located.
but there seem to be some major hicups and there is limited info on the web covering these issues.
First issue: when running: Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml and then creating a GPO configuration pointing to
thi XML file. With this feature only common file extensions is supported and when users are changing to another computer, these settings is not possible to syncronize using roaming profiles.
Second issue: In the appassoc.xml file applications must be either appid(metro app) or common application on local harddrive to be registered and not a .EXE
file on a network location.
It seems a little strange if this is the case and if there is no other options for administratos to set file associations in more flexible ways. Does anyone have some more info on
this topic other than these link:

https://keithga.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/file-associations-in-windows-8/

Hi Primeid,
You could use Group policy for file associations or you could deploy the xml file during image deployment. However as you mentioned that the file associations only applies to common application on local hard drive or metro app.

We understand your confusion about this, but we hope you understand that using network location for file association deployment is highly insecure and it is out of our recommendation since the content in that network location could be changed without any
notification or permissions constraint.
Thanks for your understanding.

File Associations in CS 5.5 for Win7

I preordered CS 5.5 Web Premium and just installed it. I also uninstalled my previous version Adobe suite (CS4). Now none of the file associations have been made for any of the Adobe related file types. So for example, psd files are now associated with quicktime. When I try to change the file association (set it to PhotoShop) it does not allow me to do so. It acts like nothing happened. What can I do? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?

I have exactly the same issue affecting InDesign and Illustrator. Photoshop had the same issue but it allowed you to set the default program. It seems the only way to do it is to open the program and open the document from there. This is a complete pain!

File associations in Bridge CS4

I would like to set the file associations for NEF files as Photoshop (as the default) and Nikon Capture. If I browse to Nikon Capture, Bridge will allow me to set both it and Photoshop as associations, but insists on making Capture the default. If I then click on Photoshop, to attempt to make it the default, Bridge won't allow Capture as an association. How can I have both programs listed, but with Photoshop as the default (so that if I double-click on the thumbnail, Photoshop will open)? Thanks.

All,
I copied this from the Vista Help:
Change the program that opens a type of file
If you double-click a file in Windows and it opens in the wrong software program, follow these steps to choose the program you would prefer that file use. You can change this setting for an individual file, or you can tell Windows to open all files of that same type in the software program you choose.
1. Open the folder that contains the file you want to change.
2. Right-click the file that you want to change, and then, depending on the type of file, either click Open With or point to Open With and then click Choose Default Program.
3. Click the program that you want to use to open this file.
4. Do one of the following:
4A. If you want all files of that type to open in the same software program, select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.
4B. If you want only that file to open in the software program this one time, clear the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.

File associations in Bridge CC after updating to CC 2014

I am facing a problem with the file association settings in Bridge CC after having updated my other creative suite programs to version CC 2014.
In previous version I had the option when opening eg. PDF file to chose "open with", and then chose Illustrator or Photoshop. This option is no longer available. When using the Preference menu under file association I can only change the default settings to be either Acrobat or for some reason Firefox. When browsing for Illustrator or Photoshop and choosing the program the PDF file will only open in Illustrator or Photoshop as default not Acrobat as it is suppose to. Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

Thank you for the answer, but is doesn't fix the problem. The explorer settings lets me open pdf files in Acrobat, Illustrator or Photoshop.
The problem is that Bridge doesn't allow me to open pdf files in Illustrator.
When trying to solve the problem by altering the file type association settings, browsing and choosing Illustrator CC 2014, the pdf files will then open by default in Illustrator, and this is not what i want. I want the option to chose, open with Illustrator, and still have Acrobat as the default program.
Anybody know how to fix this?

File Associations in Bridge

I've installed and activated Photoshop CS6 (64-bit, Windows 7). The file associations in Bridge are all blown, defaulting either to "none" or IE Explorer. When I try to open a file from Bridge, it opens in Windows Live Photo Gallery, and right-clicking does not return Photoshop as one of the choices. This occurs with Raw files as well as jpegs and tiffs. This has never happened to me with CS4 or CS5, nor with the CS6 Beta that I had been using (and uninstalled before installing CS6). Do I have to manually re-set all of the file associations? How does Bridge not recognize the program of which it is a sub-program?

Thanks for the response. I did uninstall CS5 after installing CS6, but it still seems illogical that Bridge wouldn't default to Photoshop for any file types. I also tried resetting to "default" settings, and that just changed the few I had fixed back to "none". I tried your suggestion for the three resets, and that did not improve the situation. Should I re-install the whole program? (This was an upgrade package: Does CS5 need to be installed for me to do that?).
Thanks again.

File associations in Bridge CS4 for multiple images

After a "cache purge" my file associations got altered. I can go into Edit>preferences> file associations and change that to photoshop; but if I click MULTIPLE images in Bridge and right click "open with" I only get Illustrator as an option. How can I change this to photoshop as a default when trying to open MULTIPLE images?

Ronald Keller - thank you. I am practically in tears laughing about how something so completely simple has had me fretting for days. Could it be my over 60 mind has completely failed me now, or is it I am just a bit rusty on using my software? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to offer up this response!

File associations in bridge for photoshop cc (2014)

I have just installed Photoshop cc (2014), but Bridge still opens Photoshop cc.
Do I have to change the file associations in Bridge manually or is there a shortcut?

Ha, you're lucky! Mine changed the default to Illustrator as the only choice unless you browse to the application exe for some reason!

How to view PDF files in Safari 5.1?

Every time I try to view a PDF file in Safari 5.1.1 (double clicking or using the contextual menu)i, it downloads the file instead. Is there a fix for this?
Adobe tells me that their plugin will not work with Safari 5.1 (with Lion or Snow Leopard) and suggests that I revert to Safari 5.0/Leopard.
A.

Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
Move the PDF Browser Plug-In to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try viewing a PDF in Safari.

Problem with file association in Photoshop

I am using Adobe Photoshop CS4, and I also have Adobe After Effects on my computer (which I don't use). For some reason, when I click on a photograph in Adobe Bridge, the After Effects program opens, but the photo I want to open in Photoshop does not open. I have reset the file associations in Photoshop, but Bridge ignores the settings and will only open After Effects. How can I prevent this and return to having Photoshop open my photographs?
Thank you for your help.

Might try posting in the Bridge forum.
If you're runign a Macinotsh, you an trash the bridge.plist but that's not always a good idea so don't do that till you know there's no better answer.
