How to get Quicktime to stop being my default AVI player

I love Macs but I absolutely hate Quicktime (I still have to use it to open Windows files via Flip4Mac but other than that I try to stay away from it) . I want to make VLC my default media player for all AVI files. I've tried setting an AVI file to always open with VLC but that only sets that particular file to open with VLC. Quicktime is still the default. How do I change that?

I wish I could redact dumb questions that I've asked. Anyway, for those of you with the same problem, check this out: http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-57632.html

Thanks for the link. Is this perian prefpane all I need to maximize my quicktime experience? Basically, will I never EVER see a "quicktime can't open this..." message again? Can I delete VLC media player now?
Also, what the heck is the point of the Eject button in the top right corner of the keypad. When I tried ejecting the perian "disc" that I got from opening the .dmg, it didn't work. Is that button only good for ejecting actual discs from the cd/dvd rom?

ITunes 10.6.3.25 does not stop being the default audio player

I have tried to disable the setting for iTunes from being the default audio player but, it does not work.
After unchecking the box under: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced, clicked OK, closed iTunes and reopened it, the check box for this feature remains checked!
The older version of iTunes version 10 did work until I upgraded to this version (10.6.3.25).
I hope someone fixes or has a work around for this soon...It's really an inconvenience!

Hey thanks for replying.
Here's what I did:
First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

How to get quicktime files to play in Windows Media Player...

Hello. I've got a Mac and use iMovie to create vid's. I need them to export in a format that can be played in Windows Media Player on a PC. I've installed WMV (even bought the Studio version) and they were converted to mp4 files. They play great on the PC using Quicktime in the mp4 format, but when opening them into windows media player I keep getting a codec error. Is there anyway to get around this? Unfortunately, they have to be played on a PC in media player to be presented. Thanks for your time once again!

Your bought WMV? Do you mean Flip4mac? If you just mean the ancient Windows Media Player for Mac, it won't work.
Reading this set of directions you export to WMV and name the file with a WMV extension:

If you don't have Flip4mac, that is, the $50 version, not the $29 version, you can't export, just import.

Keeping Quicktime from being the default media player

My son has iTunes/Quicktime installed on this computer, but I do not want Quicktime to be the default media player. How do I keep it from being the default media player.

Try just right-clicking on the link to the downloaded file. In most browsers you'll get some variant of a command to download the file to your computer. That would bypass the QuickTime browser plugin.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

For full details on cancelling a membership and subscription see the following page:
Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
Depending on where you are in your subscription cycle / membership and the type of membership
If you have an individual membership, and opted for the annual membership (lower monthly fee). If you are cancelling in the middle of your membership, then you would be billed 50% of what's left of your membership for the remainder of the year, basically that would then in $$s become more like having taken out a month-by-month membership (higher monthly membership fee).
If you are in the last month of your annual membership or your are on a month-by-month membership, you can log into your creative cloud account, cancel the plan yourself (no additional charges apply), by logging in with your Adobe ID and password, click your name in top left of screen and click on Manage Account.

If you can't be heard by someone who is calling, take a look at this article:

Re How to get apple to stop blocking online wagering apps?

Would anyone have any suggestions for how to get apple to stop blocking online wagering apps in New Zealand? They block them with 'online wagering is illegal in NZ with a mobile device'. This is not true in relation to racing and many forms of online wagering. I have tried AppleCare and the person I dealt with eventually agreed with me but said he could not help. He suggested this forum as he believed postings were read by Apple. I have been able to access the sites via apps on Samsung pad no problems. Don't really want to ditch my iPad and iPhone though.

Apple's legal department would probably just ignore any such comments. I'd suggest the iTunes Store request page:

Again, you will not receive a reply.

How to Get Duration, Start/Stop Time of Each Instance (Run)

Can someone tell me how to get the Duration, as well as Execution Start/Stop times for a given run (Instance) of a Report, stored in History?
For example, on the BO Server in InfoView, I can browse the History of each report, and for each run, I can click the details and view the Duration and Start/Stop times for that run. How do I get that information in Java via the SDK?
Neither IProcessInfo nor ISchedulingInfo seems to have this information.
For example, ISchedulingInfo's Start/Stop Times are for general scheduling (when the report will stop being scheduled). That is not what I want.
I need specific data for a given completed Run, namely its duration and time endpoints. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
fetch the instance of the run like this
IInfoObjects list = infoStore.query(
"select SI_STARTTIME , SI_ENDTIME From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where SI_ID=<instanceIDtoMeasure>"
IInfoObject element = list.get(0);
Date startTime = element.properties().getDate("SI_STARTTIME");
System.out.println("Beginn "+ startTime);
Date endTime = element.properties().getDate("SI_ENDTIME" );
System.out.println("End " + endTime);
long time = ((endTime.getTime() - startTime.getTime()) / 1000);
System.out..println("Runtime " + time + " sec");
You can get the nstanceIDtoMeasure form your Report with getInstances
Enjoy

How to Get Safari to STOP asking for Password

Whenever I start up Safari for the first time, it annoyingly asks for a password, and I've dismissed this prompt without typing in any passwords, and I've been able to continue doing what I'm doing. But how do I get Safari to stop asking for a password? I've read similar posts but nothing has been asked in exactly this way, as far as I can tell. What I've done:
- Gone into Keychain Access and deleted the only Safari-related item I find there, called "Safari Forms Autofill." This works temporarily but the password prompt comes back again, and this item appears again in Keychain Access.
- Gone into Safari Prefs Autofill and made sure Passwords was unchecked; it was.
Any ideas?

Aha, I've answered my own question: You have to uncheck the "Other Forms" option in Safari Auto-Fill Prefs as well. Ho ho ho all.

How to get OSB to stop appending port # in the endpoint of a published WSDL

This is the closest thread I could find to my issue, but still is not quite what I am looking for: How to get ip number in WSDL instead of host name? I have an OSB server behind a VIP, and I am publishing a proxy service for an external client to call. The VIP only accepts connections over SSL/https. OSB only hosts services on http/port 80, and the VIP handles the connectivity and security between them.
I wrote a wsdl by hand, set my endpoint to the VIP address (https), created the proxy service, and deployed to OSB. I can test the service all day in SoapUI by calling the VIP, so far so good. However, when the client calls https://VIP/myService/?wsdl, he sees the wsdl's endpoint populated as http://VIP/myService:80.
How do I stop OSB from appending :80 to the endpoint in the wsdl? This makes it unusable for any client caller to generate code by calling ?wsdl, so it forces us to export the wsdl and all schema files and provide to clients by hand. What configuration setting can we change that will fix this behavior?

appending :80 to the endpoint in the wsdl ... makes it unusable for any client caller to generate code by calling ?wsdl
I should have mentioned that :80 was an external constraint, so it was not an option to change this portion of the OSB configuration...
Most wsdl clients should be able to call a wsdl from any port as well... The presence of :80 shouldn't make any difference... So, I can't quite understand that either...The point is to be able to provide a framework to clients that needs as few settings overridden as possible, so we'd like the published endpoint to actually match the true endpoint that we would expect a client to call.
