How to permanently change Program + File Associations?

How do I make a program be the default for opening a file in OS X?
Thanks

Hi there!
Right-click (or Control-click) on a file that you wish to change the default application. Then click "Get Info" and change the "Open with" dropdown menu to whatever app you want to use. Then click "Change all". That's it!

Change all file associations in get info dialog box

Hey all,
I got this program called Style Master to edit all of my CSS files. Well, BBEdit was still the app associated with the .css extension. If I used get info (cmd-i), changed the program from BBEdit to Style Master and then selected 'Change All' it would flip back to being associated with BBEdit. Even if I create a new css document in Style Master, it saves with a BBEdit association and icon. Quite annoying.
Any ideas why I can't change the file association from BBEdit to another program?

I believe the prefs associated with this action is: com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. Found in Users/Preferences. Place this file in the trash and retry.

How do I change phone numbers associated with an iPad?

How do I change phone number associated with my iPad?

Obviously you must have an iPhone in order to associate the phone number with the FaceTime and Messages apps on your iPad. You haven't clearly stated what you want to do other than associate a phone number, so I assume these are the two apps that you want to associate the phone number with.
If you are unable to add the phone number in the settings in either or both of these apps, you may have to sign out of both apps on the Phone and the iPad - and then sign in again on both devices in order to use the phone number for FaceTime and Messages on the iPad.
This kb article explains how to do this in more detail.

How do i change the name associated with my icloud

how do i change the name associated with my icloud

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID to another ID, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you are trying to change the name of your existing iCloud ID and not trying to change to a different ID, you can change the name of the ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. After doing so, you'll need to sign out of the exising ID, then sign back in using the changed ID.

how i can change temporary files directory on firefox 3.6.8 because my system disk has little space

In Firefox,the equivalent ofInternet Explorer temporary internet files is the cache.
You can change the location of the cache by adding a new preference, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
If you are not confident about adding the preference, I know of one add-on that lets you specify the path of the cache. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13288/ Super Tab Mode] is an add-on that enhances Firefox tab handling, but also has a section for changing the location of the cache

How to permanently change the name of my Mighty Mouse?

Hi guys,
I used to have an Apple Wireless mouse which I named as "my full name". I then upgraded to the Mighty Mouse and went into the Bluetooth preferences to change the Mouses name to "My first name only" It works for a few days but then my old name keeps appearing when I click on the Bluetooth symbol in the top right corner of the desktop bar.
I cannot figure out how to permanently change the name without it changing back anywhere from a day later to a week later. It's strange.
Any suggestions?

i will try to help u out. i have a might mouse as well.
glad u posted this...forgot there is a battery meter in there for the batteries! (buy rechargeable if u havent already).
well try this..instead of going into mouse preference...just click the bluetooth symbol at the top right of the screen (i have mine set to show). click the bluetooth tab. then change the name. close the pref pane.
see how long it lasts. i just changed my name....so we shall c

Changing RoboHelp File Association

TCS5 | Windows 8.1
My laptop's been rebuilt, so I've installed TCS5 and then re-installed TCS4. However, because I've done it in this order RoboHelp projects are defaulting to RH10 when opened, as opposed to RH11. I've tried changing the association through the usual "Open with" option, but it doesn't make any difference. Is there a way I can force projects to open in RH11 by default without having to uninstall everything and starting again?
Thanks
Jonathan

Right-clicked the .XPJ, selected Open with..., clicked More options, scrolled to the bottom of the popup window and selected Look for another app on this PC, and then browsed for the Robohelp 11 .EXE. I think what's confusing it is that the both the RH10 and RH11 .EXEs are called RoboHTML.exe, but just in different folders. It's like it isn't recognising the subtle folder difference, e.g. between C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 10\RoboHTML\RoboHTML.exe and C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 11\RoboHTML\RoboHTML.exe.

How can I change the file location under "Information"?

Somehow my iPod or computer generated a 2nd file named "music" within the existing file "music" where all my songs are stored. I don´t know why this happened and when I just discovered it today.
Now more than half of the songs are located under "c:\music\music". When I change this back on my computer using Explorer, i.e. move all files up one level under "c:\music" then my iPod administration gives me a failure notice for all these songs after the next synchronisation. When I check under "Information" of a song I´m told that the storage location of this song is "c:\music\music". So when I want to play that song I´m offered to search for the original which I do and puff.... the 2nd file "music" is created again and now the song is again stored under "c:\music\music".
I can change almost every entry under "Information" but not the storage location.
How can I change this back? I don´t want this! Do I have to be a slave of stupid Apple programming and keep this 2nd folder although I don´t want to have or use it?!
Thanks for helping with this!

You can do this when exporting:

How can I change the age associated with my daughter's account?

OK I am sure that this is a common issue. Back when my daughter was about 9 or 10 years old, we bought her an iPod Touch. She was too young to have an AppleID of her own, so I set one up for her using an extra gmail accoun that I had, and entered my birthdate/age. A few years later, she received an iPad, and most recently, an iPhone. All of these devices are tied to the same AppleID.
Well, now she will be 13 years old soon, and I would like to switch things to represent reality. She has her own email account, and I believe you can go to My Apple Id to change the Apple ID name and e-mail address. My question is, can we change the age associated with the account?
I hear you saying, "Just create a new AppleID for her." That may end up being the only solution, but I am trying to avoid having two AppleIDs for her to keep up with. She has already purchased a fair amount of content (music and apps) under the existing AppleID, and I am pretty sure from looking at the posts on this Community that you can not transfer content away from the AppleID under which it was downloaded/purchased. And so, if I create a new AppleID, she will have to re-purchase the content to get it all in one place. As she eventually grows up and becomes independent, I would like for he to not have to "start over" with her AppleID.
Any advice or direction to information would be appreciated.

I have a similar situation however a bit more complicated! It seems that when I was setting the birthdate I forgot to change the year so now my seven years old daughter shows up as a two months old! There is no way to change the birthdate because it shows up in light grey when I login into my daughters account and doesn't allow a change! The birthdate can be changed only when the child turns 13 however according to this she will have to be 20 before she can change it to show property 13 and here is where this is getting completely out of hand! Now to make things more complicated I have twin daughters and they came up with their unique but similar Apple ID, so changing one will require to change both Apple IDs! After being on the phone with Apple's customer support for about one hour I talked to a supervisor and the supervisor of the supervisor and their only solution is to create a new Apple ID! Of course in my case I will have to create two new Apple IDs, and I'm considering doing it. However when I started reading it becomes more complicated because I already made their Apple IDs part of my family group. It seems like you're not able to just let go of family member that is less than 13 years of age. You can only transfer it to another family, so Apple is making sure there are no kids left behind It seems like the only option will be to "abandon" the family and then create a new family with the new Apple IDs. If all this sounds bizarre to you it sounds bizarre to me too! If I can just put the kids in the car and drive them to the nearest one hour away Apple Store and have them show their credentials confirming their birthdate I would rather do that than having to spend more and more time with this issue, but that was not an option pointed out by customer support. So folks keep in mind that if you make a mistake your children's age is set in stone until he or she turns 20 if they happen to be seven at the time you made the mistake and no one can change this, even Apple! Now on the positive side I'm glad I didn't do the mistake when she was 13 or she will have to wait until she's 26 Most likely I'll be calling customer support tomorrow again and I will let you know how it went!
