How to disable what makes Foxfire automatically open

When ever I click on an internet item, Foxfire opens. I want to use Safari and do not want Foxfire to open automatically!

You can bring up Safari and anything done within stays within Safari.
When you have another application call for web file your default browser will be used. You can only have one default browser.
To make Safari your default browser you will have to do that from within Safari. Use help there and search for "default browser" or you should be able to find it yourself:
:Gear wheel > Preferences > Default browser > (choose Safari in the drop down)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
:especially if you want to make Firefox your default browser once more

What makes a jpeg open in ACR?

Working at a print lab we receive files from all kinds of sources. Some of the jpegs that we get seem to automatically open in ACR, some go straight into Ps when double clicked (PC). Does anybody know what makes an image open ACR? Even if I have the "prefer ACR" turned off in Ps, the file continues to open in ACR. The reason this is a problem is because the setting that the customer is making in ACR is not being saved/applied to the jpeg file. Customer submitted file, prints were too dark, customer increased brightness +20 in ACR and resubmitted the jpegs. But when we print they look just like the first batch. When I double click the file, it opens in ACR and I can see the +20 brightness but when printed its not there! Does anybody have any idea what could be happening? Is it the manner that the customer is saving the files out of ACR? Could it just be a bad action? Thanks for any feedback!

If a customer modifies a jpeg file within ACR and then clicks on either Done or Open, the changes are recorded as tags in the exif data of the jpeg file; no modifications are made to the jpeg image data. If you want to honor the customer's ACR edits you will have to open the jpeg file in ACR and Photoshop and either print from within Photoshop or save the file out of Photoshop. Photoshop is the only app that will honor the exif tag modifications.
Added by edit - The reason I reiterated the info is I predict this will happen more and more often as customers with a jpeg workflow "discover" how easy it is to change white balance, brightness, contrast, crop, etc. within ACR and never have to muck around in Photoshop. It's very easy just to click on "Done" when they're through editing, rather than go to the pain of saving it out as a new file. And Adobe hasn't done a wonderful job of explaining all the consequences, IMO.

If there is a way to automatically open an attached file in a Mail item, it is not one that I would use, because I want to stay in control of my Mac! Who is it from, whats in it and so on... To me bad idea but then the choice is yours.

How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

Hi, well as the title states:
How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
It's getting on my nerves...
Thanks.

This might also be helpful:
I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
set answer to button returned of question
if answer is equal to "Yes" then
tell application "iPhoto" to activate
end if

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

Hello Argelius
If you select a word file in the Finder and do File>Get Info you will see a section in there where you can specify which application should be used to open files of that type.

How do I stop iMessage from automatically opening my conversation with a person when they message me?

iMessage problem on my ipod. Whenever someone messages me on imessage and my ipod is locked it'll come up on my lock screen and even if I don't swipe the message, imessage automatically pops up and opens the conversation. How do I stop this?

What do you mean it opens automatically? Do you have a passcode on your device?
So if the phone is locked and you watch the screen as a message comes in, does it automatically (without any interaction) open the conversation or what? Do you see the alert then it automatically opens without touching it?

How do I get Lion to automatically open downloaded files?

I have Word 08 for Mac and I download Word documents and pdf files quite often. In Lion, the files download and then are almost impossible to find. I don't know where they go and often I don't know what the file was named because the hyperlinks used don't always show the file name. How can I set my system to automatically open files I download like it used to do before I got Lion?

I don't know where they go and often I don't know what the file was named
Allowing your browser to open "safe" files is dangerous. That's how a bunch of people got in trouble during the MacDefender outbreak... the OS considered an installer file safe, since opening one does not run any third-party code. But many people mistook the automatic launch of an installer to be "official" and were fooled into following through and installing the malware. (Whether the OS still considers such installers safe I don't know, but regardless, there is precedent for "safe" files being used maliciously.)
In addition, if you aren't keeping track of these files that get downloaded, that means that your Downloads folder is probably getting filled up with all kinds of strangely-named files, making it difficult to find things in there and providing a good hiding place for other malware like MacDefender. If you don't know what's lurking in your Downloads folder, not only is that hazardous, but it takes up space on your hard drive with things you don't need anymore. I highly recommend changing your browser to download to the desktop. That way, you instantly see any files when they get downloaded, you can open them quickly and you know exactly what has been downloaded and will be more likely to delete it (or file it away) once you're done with it to prevent desktop clutter.

Disabling Fill & Sign from automatically opening

According to the 11.0.09 updates, Reader will automatically open the Fill & Sign pane when fields are present. I do not like this new default feature and have not found an easy option for disabling.
From the update page, it looks like I should be able to edit my registry to completely disable that pane from the user interface. While completely disabling is not ideal, I find it better to the alternative of always having it pop up.
However, when navigating to the following registry path:
HKLM’s cServices\bEnableSignPane set to 0 removes the Fill & Sign Pane from the user interface. (full path being HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\)
I do not see a cServices folder. I've run a search on my entire registry and cannot find where this folder nor its key is held. The only subfolders all begin with cDefault...
How can I disable this setting? And is there a plan to give the end user the option to disable this pane from automatically popping up in the future?
Thanks for any help.

Hi;
Tuning Acrobat/Reader is really designed for an IT department and not manually by an end user. The key needs to be created and then the machine restarted to take effect. Here is an article on preferences for IT departments which gives more information on complete registry/plist paths: 5 Preference Basics — Enterprise Administration Guide
I tried it out and it worked fine, on my machine however the FeatureLockDown was in the 32bit location even though it is a 64bit machine...
Just a note, the "Fill & Sign" panel in Adobe Reader XI is not the same as the online service "Adobe Fill & Sign", it is the name of the Tools panel in Adobe Reader for filling and signing forms.
Thanks,
Josh
