How do I set default programs in OS 10.7.5?

Trying to point appropriate files to PS CC, i.e., Photomatix is opening in PS6.
I note from product notes below this screen that the system thinks I'm on 10.6.8. So who knows... About Mac shows 10.7.5.

Yes, that would work Felix... thank you. I was hoping to open the tonemapped file from with Photomatix directly into PS CC without having to go to the folder/file. Seems to me that OS X (Mac), has a default program setting that should direct the file to your preferred program when you save it in Photomatix. Right now, that's working but set to PS6. I just need to know how to change the perferred program???

How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

Great question, this has been bugging me too!
So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
"Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
"ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers. This is both good news and bad.
Background:
One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
Solution:
This blog appears to have the answer:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
From:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
To:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?

How to set default programs???

How to set default programs?
An example: when I click on a .doc it opens in TextEdit, but I want it to open with NeoOffice (to make that happen now requires right-click>open with>NeoOffice)
How can I set NeoOffice as the default program for .doc, .xls, .ppt?
And set default programs for other files?
Thanks.

redaple
Select a .doc and go File -> Get Info
In the resulting window you'll see a pane called Open With... Select your preference from the Drop Down. To make the new app default for all these types, click 'Change All...'

How do you set defaults in pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

How do you set defaults in Pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

Default layout and styles can be set by setting up a sheet with your settings and saving as a user template (File > Save As Template). I don't know of a way to set defaults for moving between cells in a table.

Unable to set default program for .pdf

CURRENT PROBLEM:
As show in print screen, when i attempt to set default program nth happens at all. The only way i can open any .pdf file now is by 1st opening adobe reader 9 and select the .pdf file manually
INITIAL STAGE OF PROBLEM:
Problem started after upgrading to windows 7 from vista. Windows 7 is able to recognise adobe reader 8 as a valid default program since it is in windows.old. Thus the default for .pdf is adobe reader 8 (it was installed in vista).
Subsequently, installing adobe reader 9 isof no use as it will be ignored and windows 7 will only continue to use adobe reader 8 as the default reader when i try to open a .pdf file, unless if i manually opened adobe reader 9 and selected a .pdf file manaually
However, I am unable to uninstall adobe reader 8 as the "program and feature" can only identify adobe reader 9 and does not think that adobe reader 8 exists.
ATTEMPTs TO SOLVE:
Thus, I removed windows.old by using the disk cleanup. However, I am still unable to set adobe reader 9 as the default reader. Instead, .pdf are no longer accessible/"open-able" unless I 1st opened adobe reader 9 and then selected a .pdf manaually.
I've attempted reinstalling and restarting comps etc, they dun seem to help. I suspect the OS is now only able to recognise adobe reader 8 from windows.old as a valid program directory due to some registry issues since it was initally set as the default when i 1st upgraded the OS. Now that adobe reader 8 is removed, there might be some corrupted registry somewhere that needs to be set right again?
Really need help with this. Thanks a million.

Thanks guys for showing interest in helping.
As you guys can see, there's no adobe reader when u expand. Also, I already browsed the reader just in case too. Thus expanding doesnt help. =(
Also, I cant seem to find the "file type" tab in folder options

How can I set the program to automaticaly send recieved email addresses to my address book?

As the question asks, how can I set the program to automatically add new email address from messages to my address book. Other email programs can be set up to do this. If this can't be done in Firefox, why not. It's the best email program otherwise.

First off Firefox is an Internet browser and does not deal with email addresses or have an address book to add them to. Secondly I cannot think of a good reason to add the address of each piece of spam to the Thunderbird address book.
There are addons that will pick out addresses from incoming email and add them to the Thunderbird address book. I suggest you search through the add on list for one that fits your needs.

How can I set default values for Allocate Mode in AO config?

Hi, How can I set default values for allocate mode in AO config. To be specific, in the attached vi, I need to set the Allocate Mode in AO Config to 'Use FIFO Memory (6)' if the value inside my case structure is false and to 'no change (0)' if the value inside the case strusture is true.
Solved!

Create two constants for the Allocate Mode input (right click > create > constant). Place one in the true case of the case structure, and place the other one in the false case. Wire them to the same tunnel (border of the case structure), then wire the tunnel to the Allocate Mode terminal of the AO Config. I don't have Traditional DAQ installed, but that should do it.

Setting Default Programs

Hi
I have previously mentioned this but didn't get much help. So I am asking the question again hoping to be clearer this time.
I have a problem with associating programs I want to open certain files. For instance, I press command+I and set 'Keynote' to be default program and change all for .ppt files. But everytime I download a new file .ppt format, Windows Powerpoint opens. Same is the issue with quicktime files, I set VLC as default but quicktime always opens up.
Are there any other ways to set default programs of your wish to open certain files?
Thanks,
Arun

Use APPLE+I on a file of the type in Finder (Get Info). Toward the bottom of the information panel for the file, you will see an OPEN WITH section. Expand it if nessasary, select the application you want to open files of that type with, then click the "Change all..." button.

The default priority setting in Mail is set to "normal" and is causing emails I send to be sent with red priority flag. How can I set default priority to low = no flag?

The default priority setting in Mail is set to "normal" and is causing emails I send to be sent with red priority flag.
I have found the flags to reduce the priorty level manually to "low Priorty", but how can I set default priority to low = no flag?
Thank you for advising,

Try deleting the .plist.
Quit the application.
In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.

OS X (10.5.2) constantly changing set default programs

After upgrading to Leopard from Tiger I am encountering the following problem:
OS X is constantly changing my set default programs to whatever is the default when you install it fresh.
For example:
I have Firefox set as default for webbrowsing, Adium as default for chatting, and VLC as default for video playback.
When I restart OS X, everything is changed back to Safari, iChat, and QuickTime. Also my file associations are changed with every restart.
Repairing Permissions does not help and I have done that at least 10 times now.
Deleting the Applications and reinstalling them does also not help.
Are there any solutions to this? I would prefer not having to reinstall Leopard with all the applications, because I do not have the DVDs for all the software at the moment.
Thanks for any help!
Further info: I did Archive and Install for putting Leopard on this MBP. I have the latest updates installed and the latest versions of the applications, etc.

Download the free updates to Quark 6.5 and 6.52 to see if that fixes it. Otherwise, you should consider posting your question on Quark's discussion forums:

How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)

How to set default program to open pdf file?

How to set default program to open file types

What I am wanting to do is be able to open music saved in Apple Lossless format in other than iTunes, say in maybe Quicktime. I have most of my music in this format and want to keep them that way so when I want to add an album to iTunes it's already in lossless format. But as it is now with iTunes as the default, anytime I even play one song it is imported into iTunes and I have to go back and delete it.
I am sure there is a way to make the default program for .m4a files not iTunes?

If you are just previewing music files you can also click on the song and hit your SpaceBar on the keyboard to listen to the song.
