How to Change Default 'Open with' Program

Right now my default pdf viewer is epdfview. When I click on a downloaded file in the 'Downloads' it opens using epdfview. How can I make AcrobatReader default for this action?
What I am NOT writing about: I don't want to change the Action what happens, when I click on a pdf file, because this Action is 'preview in Firefox' right now. I would like to change the associated DEAFULT program, which opens a DOWNLOADED file.
I know how to choose 'Other...' programs in the 'Open with...' dialogue, I want to see AcrobatReader as a DEAFULT in the 'Open with...' dialogue.

This will not affect media embedded in a web page - only links to the files themselves.
# Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose '''Preferences'''.
# Select the {menu Applications} panel.
# The Applications panel will display. Select the type of file for which you want to change the default action. '''Multiple entries for the same [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_format file format or extension]?''' Some file types can include more than one Internet Media type.
# The Action column will give you a drop-down menu, with options on action to take, whenever you click that type of file.
#;[[Image: ApplicationsDropPDFWin]]
#*'''Always ask''': will prompt you to select what action you want Firefox to take when you click on that type of file. This can be useful if Firefox is automatically saving a file type or is always opening it with a certain program and you want to be asked what to do.
#*'''Save File''': will always save the file to your computer using the [[Find and manage downloaded files|Downloads window]], whenever you click that type of file.
#* Open the file with an application or plugin of your choosing.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Preferences window.

Change Default 'Open With'

Folks,
I changed something, but don't know what. I want ACR to open for RAW or JPEGs. I believe my prefs are set correctly in both ACR and Bridge. DblClk in Bridge should open ACR; it opens photoshop. I've gone to Finder and a file Get Info > Open all files with Adobe Bridge. This isn't working. How can I change the Right Clik >Photoshop CS4 (Default) to either ACR or Bridge?
Frustrated,
Regards to all,
Charles

How do you use JPEGs? Seems to me the easiest way to make minor JPEG
adjustmentisACR! Dclk > Adjust >Done.
I don't make adjustments to jpegs
Only work in Raw and save as PSD files. Those files can be resized and saved
as jpeg to customers needs. Once you have saved a jpeg you should not make
changes to them because that will cause loss of quality, you don't have that
whit PSD or Tiff files.
When you have good reasons to shoot in jpeg you should do so but the changes
that you can make with them in ACR are very limited compared to use of Raw
files.
My importing from camera continues to be a mixed bag. I shoot raw 90% and
make JPGs via ACR (after importing) as I need them. It''s the copying to
folder, subfolder, other drive, convert to DNG, Add meta data, Keyword...ALL
on Import seems overwhelming; and it is. I just import to a folder and decide
then, almost one by one.
I use Adobe Photodownloader for that, in Bridge choose Get files from camera
and explore the advanced setting, you can do a lot in one click.
Thanks for the input on 'Open With'. I've been having some problems with
Expression Media 2 and I've been trying different methods to get that right.
One of the things I tried was to Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. I think,
but I'm not certain, that that may have corrected the Open With situation.
It is always good to use system maintenance every now and then
Here's a question about Replying to this forum. How do you include the partial
reply? Do you 'Copy & Paste' a selected text? For example, How did you add
"Still can not change the 'Open With' etc., etc." comment in your reply?
On the forum site you can do so when you use the reply button and then use
the tool bar above to quote. But I use my email application (Office for Mac
2008) and simply select the text I want to quote and then choose reply.

Need to find a scripts for changing default "Open with" iTunes app to Quick

Hello all...
I'm new to scripting but need a script really quickly...
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a script that will change the default "Open with" of audio files placed within a certain folder on my desktop...
I'm making sound clips with WireTap and dumping them in a folder called WireTapExports as .mp3. I then need to play them without using iTunes (and importing them by default) but going into the "Get Info" and manualy changing the "Open With" settings for each file is taking ages...and it's very irratating...
Is there a way I can make all audio file put in that folder automaticaly open with Quicktime instead.
I know this is quite easy to most but I've only just started looking at Applescript (i.e. a few days ago) and but I need this to work now...
Many thanks in advance...
PigeonCake...

Not what you want, but if you hold the control key while getting info it changes to summary info which then lets you change the preferred application on a batch of files in one go.

How to set default "opens with"

If I have MS office and Iwork installed, how do I set a default for the opens with. Right know if it open a word file, it automatically opens with MS office. But I would rather it open with Pages.
Thanks for your help.

Select a Word document in the Finder and *Get Info*. Count down to the 5th disclosure triangle - the one labeled *Open With*. Select the program you want to open the file with. You may see it in the list or you may have to select Other and find the program with the file selector. Once you've done that, click on the *Change All* button. That's it.

Changing default open with for file type for all users

hello
can I change the default app to open a specific file type for all users and not juist for my user?
i am admin for my mac mini.
tnx
gil

What applications are offered for open with depends on the application itself informing the system it can open certain files, plus your own custom selections for opening files. Evidently the alternate app you want to use does not claim to be able to open the files you are assigning it. If you have a plist editor and know how to use it you could edit the info.plist file inside the application itself to add the file type you want to the application's declaration of file types it will open. Then restart so the system will read that declaration. I think it would be far easier to simply launch the application and then drop a file you want it to open onto its icon in the Dock.

Push default open with program to server users

Hi All,
We have just upgraded to 10.9 server in an effort to speed up file operations to our Synology NAS.
Our users have to fill out some PDF forms and I need to force .pdf's to open with Adobe Reader.
Using profile manager, I have tried to push custom settings into the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist without any success.
I can log into everyones account and change it manually, however I'm sure this will be of value to the community.

How to Set Default Open With?

Bridge keeps opening my .png screen shot files with Fireworks, I want them to open in Photoshop — CS4.
The .png file icons defaults are set to open with Ps.
Bridge> Preferences> File Type Associations don't even list .png (if that is the place to do it).
Forum search seems to be hitting on everything but what I am typing in.
Bridge Help doesn't understand what I am asking.

Same issue - when I double click a "RW2" file in Bridge my Photomatix application opens the file. Nowhere in the file associations do I see Photomatix or the "RW2" file format for that matter. I reset to default association - still no joy. The only app showing in the "Open With" pull down in Bridge is "Photomatix (default)". How so I change this default to PS4?

How to change 'always open with' file settings with parallels desktop 4?

Hi all.
here's my problem; parallels desktop 4 has hijacked file association on some of my file types and wont let me change them back to their mac equivilants
Accidentally clicking on one of these parallels associated apps causes the virtual machine to boot up, slowing my pc down dramatically and causing me grief.
Setting certain files to 'always open with' the equivilant mac app [eg. trying to get text documents to open with textedit as oppose to xp's notepad, hasn'thelped]
any suggestions ? - i am stumped
Thanks!

Delete Windows Applications folder in Virtual Machine folder (it's from Mac Side); disable Shared Applications from Configuration Editor.
---or---
...other permanent solution to try on Mac side
1 select a file in your finder (e.g. .doc)
2 press <cmd>
3 go to 'open with' option...
4 select the correct application (e.g. Microsoft Word)
5 click 'change all' - done...go try
When Microsoft Word is already selected, change that to another app, click 'change all', then set it back to Microsoft Word again and once more click 'change all'.
If still no joy, try strong language....

Any way to make all avi's open with VLC?
Thanks!

Right-click any .AVI file and select Get Info. Under the "Open with" section, select the app you want, and then press the "Change All" button.

How to change default Ovi Player store ...

Hi,
I need help from you people.
I had installed Ovi Player. Whenever I try to open Ovi Player, the default store gets’ open is "India". I change the store location to "Germany". When I do the search for particular music, it will again take me to "India" store instead of "Germany" store. In addition, most annoying is that I have to re-login but my user id and password will not work as its different store. Also when I go via music.nokia.de and try to login, it open Ovi player and since default location is "India", it takes me to India store and my login credentials do not work.
I ask Nokia care on how to change default Ovi Player Store location but they are unable to provide any good answer.
I already un-install / re-installed but won't work. Do any of you have answer to my problem? I want my default Ovi Player location to be "Germany" instead of "India".
More information, my regional settings have location as “Germany” and language as “English”.
Please help.
Thanks for your response.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had got message from Nokia on how to correct this issue. This had solved the problem. Below is the mail from them ...
Dear Chakraborty,
Thank you for your response.
This error is sometimes caused by a corrupted MDataStore.db3 file used by the Ovi Player. This file will need to be deleted with the Ovi Player closed. Then open the player and the datastore file will be rewritten by the application:
Close Ovi Music Player and delete the MDataStore.db3 file:
Vista C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
XP C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
Both of these locations are in hidden folders. So, to view them users will need to:
Open Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders
Once Ovi Music is opened again the MDataStore.db3 file will be rewritten to this folder.
  After that manipulation try to install the Ovi Player once again:

Problems changing the Open with... setting

Hi,
Having recived my new MacBook Pro with the trial version of Office 2004 I removed this using the remove utility as I have the full version of Office X.
However, I get the error code -10660 when I try and open documents. I have tracked this down to the fact that the default Open with... setting is Word 2004 etc.
I can manually select the correct program to open these files with, but when I set it so that all files with .doc open with this older version of Word it defaults back to the new version. (I am using the Change All... option under the Get Info option).
If I manually do this using Open with.. for each file it works, but this is both time consuming and silly.
iMac G5, MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Missed the post above. Running this at the terminal did fix the problem:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\
Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister \
-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
The question was, why should I have had to have done this!!

Group Policy For 2008 Terminal Server Users Default Open With Not Working

I'm trying to change the default open with behavior for jpg files on my terminal server. I created a Group Policy that changed it to MS Paint to Office 2010 Picture Manager. The policy appears to apply correctly but jpg files still open in
Paint. When a user is logged on, if they look at the properties of a jpg, it shows Photo Gallery as the program to open it but when opened, it opens in Paint.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?

How to change default approval for ResourceAuthorizerApproval ?

Hi,
I'am new in OIM and I follow documentation where I found some predefined workflows. I'd like to use them.
Could you tell me, step by step, how to change default approval for ResourceAuthorizerApproval (only for my new defined resource).
I'm using OIM 11g and Design Console 11.1.1.3.0.2.0

Ok, I made new tamplate (copy of existing one), there I changed Template Level Approval Process and set allowed resources. It seems to be ok :)
If there are other solutions please share with me
Thanks
