How to make Preview default again?

I downloaded Adobe 8 in order to read the account summary on the AT&T website. I clicked the button to make it the default but now I want to go back to Preview.
How do I do that?

Select a PDF in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, choose Preview under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

How to make Viewer default (again)?

I upgraded Adobe Reader and every time it opens it asks me doe I want it to be my default viewer for PDFs. I always clicked NO but just recently clicked YES by mistake. Now it opens every time to see PDFs.
I don't really like it, liked Apple Viewer better. How can I make it default again?
Thank you,
Zack

I have nearly the same issue: Acrobat always asks if I want it to be my default viewer. After many dozens of times saying "no," I finally accidentally clicked "yes." (It also has a checkbox called "Don't sk this again," but it still asks every time).
Anyway, I also want to use Preview as the default, and I can use the Get Info trick, but there's a rub: Before Acrobat did this, there were certain pdf files that I wanted opened in Acrobat, and not Preview. They had the Acrobat icon, not the preview one. If I do the Get Info trick, I have a feeling that they will be changed to open in Preview instead of Acrobat. So my questions are
1) Will this actually happen?
2) Where is the info stored that makes it possible for some pdfs to be opened with one app and other pdfs to be opened with another app?
3) When I accidentally let Acrobat change the default, is this identical to having chosen Get Info on a pdf file and selecting "Change All..." to Acrobat, or is it just changing some system-wide preference about which viewer should be the default—a preference that, I hope, can be changed back.

Whenever I click on a .jpeg to view it, RealPlayer opens up and only displays the top 1/10 of the image. How can I make Apple's Preview the default viewer?

Ipod Classic 120g - How to make it work again? Was formatted by windows.

My ipod classic shows as "removable device" in the finder, but does not appear on itunes. The iPod was formatted as a mobile device on windows. How to make it work again?

Hello soraiaSP
Try putting your iPod classic into Disk Mode and then use iTunes to restore it. Then it should show up within iTunes to sync media across to it.

How do I make preview default for pdf's in safari?

I googled it and it said to go to library in your finder, but there is no "library" in my finder. what do i do?

You can make Preview the default for PDF files you download in Safari. Locate a PDF file on your system, select it, click cmd-i to Get Info, then find the "Open With" tab, change the application to Preview, and click Change All.

How to make the default tree row selection programatically

I have one use case where I am displaying the tree table based on some parameter which is just for filtering the table and display the part of hierarchy.
The problem here is I want to make a default selected row when the tree will be rendered to UI based on the primary key(that is the input parameter).
can you please tell me how to do this.I am using jdev 11g.
thanks,
Harsh

Hi,
for this you need to know where in the path the PK is. If e.g. the PK is for a second level node then you need to pass the first level node PK as well. Nodes in a tree are defined as ArrayLists. So unfortunately your question doesn't provide enough information

How to make ffox default Mac brwsr. Currently can only make Safari default; per ffox help.

Just want to make ffox default; ff help only discusses making Safari default browser. Your cookbook questions are not very applicable to this simple problem

If doing it from within Firefox (see [[How to make Firefox the default browser]] ), then you can do it through Safari. See [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]

Answer to how to make PSE12 default for jpgs

Earlier I asked for help in how to make PSE12 the default program to open jpg files. I wasn't able to get my problem resolved. Until today. I contacted Adobe Tech Support.
You need to locate your file. Mine is at C/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 12/PhotoshopElementsEditor.
The Editor file did not have an extension name and needed to be renamed to PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe.
As soon as I did that, I was able to make it the default.
Your Adobe program may be in a different place, but the steps would be the same.
Good luck! Thanks to Adobe Tech Support.

My final cut pro 6, is missing some files. because of mac keeper. I think its atom strand.HD. what to do, and how to make it work again?????

I got mac keeper to clean up some files, and now I cant open Final cut pro 6. because of missing files. it is loading, at Atom strand.HD file, before it says that the program suddenly shutted down. the atom strand.HD is a file, that is connected to motion. if I put motion in the garbage can, then final cut works, but if I take motion out of the garbage can again, then it doesn`t. arrrrr. shall I re install final cut or motion. or is there a better way to make it work, again????? !!!!

Well, best bet would be to reinstall FCP. I'd use the FCS REMOVER from digitalrebellion.com (free) to uninstall the app first, then reinstall from the DVD.

How to make Preview the default pdf viewer?

I made the mistake of using Adobe Acrobat pdf reader for opening pdf's. Then I learned it was better to use Preview. So I deleted Acrobat. I then I couldn't open any pdf's in Safari. None. So I opened a pdf in a folder. Went get info. Selected Preview as reader. Clicked "Change All." But it still doesn't work. When I try to open a pdf from Safari page, I just get a blank gray page.
How can I get this back to the way it should be with Preview doing all the pdf work and NO Adobe??
Thanks in advance!

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How to make Preview the default pdf viewer in Safari

Relaunch Safari to test.

How to make Preview the default reader for pdf files online?

Hi everyone,
Many product manufacturers put their product's broucher in pdf form online. I've tried the screen shot capture method for saved pdf files but when the file won't even open online, how do I get to even capture a screen shot in the first place? Is the problem in Safari 6? Many thanks in advance.

Hi Anthony,
So, you're instincts were correct - it is Safari.....
I use Firefox as my browser (I'm not a big fan of Safari or on Windows, of Explorer). When I clicked on your brochure in Firefox, it comes up with a little window asking me what I want to do with the file - and with the "Open With" Preview" button checked.
When I do the same with Safari, it opens a new Safari window, displaying it online, but not downloading it.
So, don't know if you want to download Firefox, but did want to let you know that's why it was working differently for me!
Good luck with this - hope you are able to get it to work out for you!
Cheers,
GB
