How do I chose helper application for media files

I have Adobe Acrobat and (of course) iTunes.
However, when using Safari (or any browser really) I prefer to open pdf:s in Preview and mp3:s in Quicktime. But I have no idea how to change this.
Some mp3-links are opened directly in Safari and that's fine, but some calls upp iTunes and I don't want that. It clutters the iTunes library.
Pdf:s are opened in some kind of Adobe-plugin which is really slow. Even in Intel. I don't want that.
Long ago these things could be changed in the preferences of the web-browsers but not anymore. How am I supposed to do this now? How are media links redirected to other applications in OS X?

Hi Torsig,
Probably not what you want to hear, but they all played within Safari for me.
Can you check this QuickTime settings?
System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> (MIME Settings...) -> MP3 - MPEG layer III movies and streams -> MP3 playlist (if this is not enabled, enable it)
If you do make a change, restart Safari to pick up the change.

Default application for media files reverts with a fresh boot

I want my media files to open with VLC as the default application. I do the whole work-around: I select the file, I go to "Get Info," I choose "Open with: VLC" and I select "Change All" to use the application to open all files of the same type. That all works. And it works with other files of the same type.
If I restart my computer, or if I shut it down and start it up again, Quicktime is the default again. I have been able to permanently set VLC by using "Open with"- "Other" - and then selecting "Always Open With." But I don't think this is a great solution.
Is there any way to make "Change All" stick, even after a fresh boot?

Rebuild the LaunchServices database by running this one-line command in the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/)—copy & paste:
*/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*
Then, try the Get Info->select Open with VLC, click the Change all button, and restart.

How to set my default application for illustrator files (windows)

I have both illustrator CS3 and CS5 on my windows 7 machine. I want to keep both versions as CS3 is better for converting SVG files.
Windows has CS3 as the default application when opeing .svg files. but I want to change this to CS5. I have tried changing the default program in the normal way,
right click - open with - choose default program...
only CS3 is listed in the programs, so I navigate to CS5
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Support Files\Contents\Windows\illustrator.exe
but when I click ok, CS5 isn't added to the program list.
I have managed to change the default program for .ai and .eps files in this way and its workeds, but not with.svg files.
Any ideas?

This method still doen't work, it has the same problem as my original post.Bbut I did find a utiliy that works, here is the link in case anyone has the same problem.

How Can I Search for Media files by Length?

I want know how can I search for media files (mov, mp4, flv and movie files in general) by their length?
If this search function is confirmed as definitely not possible on the OS, I would appreciate someone recommending app that might be able to perform such a search?
Many thanks

No possible way. Because the files may be enoded with differing codecs, compression, etc., you can only sort by file size, not the 'length' of the movie files.

How do you make console apps the default application for a file type?

I have a console movie player, mplayer, that I like a lot. I've compiled it from source on my intel core2 macbook pro and it works fine. There is no gui, but to play movie files you open up a terminal and type the command mplayer /path/to/file. I would like mplayer to play a movie file automatically when I double click on the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried setting it in the file info dialogue, but when I go to the path of the binary I want, it is not selected. How can I set a console app as my default application for my file type?

there is a GUI mplayer for OS X. why don't you use it instead of the command line one?
if you insist on using the command line mplayer then the only way to do this is to put a GUI wrapper on it. this can be done with automator or apple script for example. but really, why don't you just use the GUI mplayer?

How to load an Applet application for 1000cards?

Hi Friends..
I want to know How to load an Applet application for 1000cards?..
Assume that, i have an Applet application that need to loaded into 1000cards..
So, how to solve this?
Do i must to load an application manually for each card?
Is there any another way?
Thanks in advance..

for 1000 cards you can use a "small" printer like an evolis "dualis" or something like that
we've produced thousands of cards with this method in my company.
the pro is that you can also print the cards in the same time.
they usually have simple APIS like get_new_card_from_loader(), put_card_on_contacts(), eject_card()
you can connect any reader on the printer , the raw card contacts are available on a connector.
some printers also have contactless couplers.
but remember that deploying cards in the field is not just loading an applet.
it's also a cryptographic challenge, you need to change the card keys or anyone will be able to play with your cards, adding and removing applets as they want.
typically this is achieved by using an ultra secret mother key and whatever derivation algorithm you like using data from INIT UPDATE as diversifier. example, you can TDES cipher part of the INIT UPDATE data using the mother key as TDES key, or use something involving SHA1, using a HSM if you are serious, etc.
for your entertainment here is a high volume card personnalization machine. That's amazing.

How to synchronize Creative Suite applications for consistent color?

Wondering how to synchronize Creative Suite applications for consistent color? (On a Mac.)

artificial "suites"
I don't agree with that; some of these applications are very tightly integrated with a seamless cross-app workflow.
Anyway: In itself, there's no particular reason to have the apps "synchronized". Requirements are different in the various apps, and my color settings are deliberately unsynchronized. But until you understand more about what the different color settings do, it's a simple safeguard against surprises.
In Photoshop, working on RGB (or CMYK) raster image material, the all-important thing is to have color management policies set to "preserve embedded profiles". Any other setting is trouble waiting to happen. You may also want to work in a large space like ProPhoto to have maximum editing headroom.
But as soon as you get into CMYK and/or vector territory with ID and Ai, you don't want that because it can lead to a number of other problems on press. For CMYK you'll want to ignore profiles and preserve numbers, then reassign the correct profile for output. Using ProPhoto for RGB vector is also totally pointless. Just mentioning this to put this into context.
If you do want to synchronize, you do it in Bridge as station two said. But all it means is having the same settings in each app's color settings, and you can do that manually as well.

Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

Hi all,
I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
I created an Automator action that does two things:
gets the selected Finder items
opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

How to get the owner name for the file in ftp using abap ?

Hi folks ,
How to get the owner name for the file in ftp using abap ? please help me very ugernt . I tried with all standard FTP commands
but doest work out me . Helping in this regard highly appreciated ...
Thanks and regards,
Swarupa Vanarchi

Hi
dont you have used the os user while calling the FTP_CONNECT FM?
Hope you are not talking about the user executing the FTP program.
Else If you are talking about the FTP file creator then its not related to abap as you can handle it by maintaining the user in file name itself.
May be i am going too far with if and elses here as your question possesses no clarity.
Plz elaborate your requirement before anybody can help.

I have an I pad Mini. Since i down loaded the new update ISO 7, my I Pad is not running certain media files either from Chrome or Safari browser. I called technical support but they failed to provide any help stating the media files may not be compctable with new soft ware. I do bnot agree with their finding because i have I phone with ISO 7 updated soft ware and same files run on my I phone but not on I Pad. This was working fine before updating new software. This device is useless for me if i can not watch the program that i bought this for. I want device to replaced or taken back by the company. Thank you

Here are the iPad Mini specifications:
