HOW TO STOP you are opening this program for the first time

I continue to get the warning "you are opening this program for the first time". I don't want that warning to ever appear again for any program. How to permanently get this warning to never again appear?
Best regards,

Thomas,
The reason I don't want these warnings (especially for programs that I have had on my Mac for years!) is because I now use ecamm's "Printopia" to send items from my iPad3 running iOS 6.0.1 to my MacBook Pro-13 (mid-2010) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 -- and in order to do this:
1. Both my iPad and Mac have to be on the same WiFi network.
2. The Mac has to be awake, cannot be in the "sleep" mode
OK but in order to wake my Mac, I've found that using the app "Remote" on my iPad to open iTunes AND PLAY A SONG will "waken" my Mac*.
So now, for example, I send a .jpg file to my Mac. I have it set so that GraphicConverter opens when a .jpg file is to be opened. OK but if this warning appears (and even though I have had GraphicConverter on the Mac since the beginning of time…) I sometimes (like today) get this warning. Of course I am not at my Mac and yet when I eventually go to my Mac-- there is that dialog box sitting there and until I click OK the photo doesn't open (and on my iPad I don't get a confirmation that it has been sent, because it hasn't until I click OK on the Mac).
This could happen for other types of files, too - text files or Word documents etc.
It seems to happen when I UPDATE a program, like when GC went from 8.3 to 8.3.1 for example.
Thanks for any additional comments.
*Perhaps there is a better / faster / easier way to "waken" my Mac from my iPad? This is the only way I have found so far…

"you are opening application "xyz" for the first time are you sure you want

When working in Tiger or Panther if I click on a document eg: word, illustrator, photoshop, indesign. and the application that is supposed to open this document is not open already. You get a warning message. that says "you are opening application "xyz" for the first time are you sure you want to open it. " Even though this is not the first time the application has been launched. However if you launch the application from the applications folder or from the dock the warning does not appear.
How do you disable this warning or at least correctly inform the OS that the application has been opened before.application
This happens from clean installs and those that have their launch services database cleared the link from document to application survives a logout but not a restart. I know it is a security feature and not a bug but it would be nice to know where this cache/.plist is and why it is suffering from amnesia.
Textedit does not exhibit this behavior across installs but any other app does I get the warning whether it is a user with a l

I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation. They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files for Creative Suite 6 you can do so at Download CS6 products.

When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ?

When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ? Please I need this answer so as to download the latest Mountain Lion upgrade. Thnx in advance.

Many folks have reported that this is true. However, the charge is not taken to the second step of completing the charge and the $1 revolves back to your account.

It sounds like you are trying to create a new icloud account, not just logging into an existing account. When you type in your Apple ID and get that error, it's because you are trying to create an account using the same ID that is already being used in another account.
Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen. If you are logged in, press the Delete button, then try logging in with the existing ID.
As for pics, the most secure way is to connect ipod to PC with USB and look at the Photos tab for your device in iTunes. Using Photo Stream is another way, but it doesn't always work, depending on conditions.

Satellites L650D: how long do i leave it on charge for the first time?

just recently bought this computer Toshiba Satellite series L650D and was wondering how long do i leave it on charge for the first time on power????
Please help

Hello
If the battery is fully charged, the battery LED will switch the color. Depending on your notebook it will switch from orange to white for example. After this the battery is fully charged.
The charging time is also depending on the battery, AC/DC adaptor and if the notebook is truned on or off. So nobody can exactly say how long it takes but the battery LED will it show you. :)

How does a BlackBerry handheld connect to BES for the first time?

How does a Blackberry device connect to BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) for the first time? Is there a risk that a rogue BlackBerry handheld connects to BES?
Thank you in advance!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
When a BES admin sets up a BB on BES, they configure the unique BB PIN into their BES and also create credentials that are required to actually complete the registration process on the BB. So, while there is no perfect security anywhere, I don't think the risk you are concerned about is high enough to warrant any attention.
Good luck!

Scrolling suddenly stopped working on laptop. this is'nt the first time as I have had issues with my laptop mouse scolling feature not working

What a pain in the ass. Firefox will inadvertently stop the scrolling feature from working on my synaptics laptop mouse. It works for every other program except Firefox. Really??? This has happened on other versions of FF and I was sooo reluctant to upgrade as I was afraid it would happen again and viola, 3 days later it stopped working. If I restart FF scrolling works for about 15 seconds and then stops again. This is a joke.

Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

PCM stuck at 100% when using any audio program for the first time

I've had this issue for some months now after an update and couldn't find any solution anywhere so help would be appreciated.
First time I run an audio program after boot PCM gets stuck at 100% and can't be decreased. Also, i3status's PCM info switches from 77% to 850%. No idea if the previous is useful. The problem disappears once that program is closed and PCM is changeable again. I'm using alsa and the chip is Conexant CX20551 (Waikiki), the issue persists even if I add the user to the audio group.

I replaced the symlink with a folder named "Pictures" and it actually worked. At least a new menu shows up. BTW Photoshop Elements does not complain.

Long time windows user... opens up mbp for the first time?

Okay,
Im a long time advanced windows user.
But i know absolutely nothign about mbps or osx
I want to know anything i might not figure oput on my own
Im not talking about how programs work and stuff, im talking more abou the imporatant things, that might screw me up later if i dont know them
Some examples;
I read something about how i should reinstall tiger when i get my mac. is that true?
what is firmware, and how do i update it?
I read someth9ing about leaving my mac on at night so it can do system tasks, more info on this..?
and,, i read that i shyould be completely draining the battery at least once a week or something...?
the stuff like that,
remember, ive never used a mac before
kthanks:)
UPDATE: this is unrelated but still, when i use boot camp, does wireless work? And howabout isight?
And; are most of the issues with vista drivers and such worked out with boot camp?
Thanks:)

I read something about how i should reinstall tiger when i get my mac. is that true?
Some people advocate that, but I've never found it to be necessary. Such advice presumes that something can go amiss with the factory software load. So you can if you wish, but I feel it's unnecessary effort.
what is firmware, and how do i update it?
Firmware is the built-in programs that tell the basic hardware how to operate; how to find the hard drive and start from it, etc. BIOS is the equivalent in the Windows world. If firmware updates are released, they'll appear in the Mac OS X Software Update and instructions on what to do will be provided.
I read someth9ing about leaving my mac on at night so it can do system tasks, more info on this..?
There are some basic UNIX tasks - clearing log files and such - that run at night and only run if the system is awake. Unless you go months without allowing your computer to stay awake, or running the tasks manually (there are a number of freeware utilities that make this easy), then you don't have to worry. The logs can get a bit large, but with modern hard drives, you're not likely to ever notice.
i read that i shyould be completely draining the battery at least once a week or something...?
Not correct. You do want to run the battery down to where the computer goes to sleep so that the power manager is calibrated, but once a week is far too often and will reduce the life of your battery. Once a month is the most I'd recommend, and once every couple of months would probably be adequate. For more information on managing your battery, see:

How long does it take to sign in for the first time to begin using the trial version?

I entered my password and clicked sign in. The loading circle spins for hours and nothing else happens. I am not able to click cancel. I am not able to red x. What am I doing wrong?

Hi rj work,
Are you having trouble downloading the trial, or have you already downloaded/installed and aren't able to start the application?
I'm guessing it may be the former--that you can't download the trial. If so, please make sure that you're logged in as an administrator, and temporarily disable any antivirus. Then, try downloading from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X.
If I misunderstood, and the issue is occurring after installation, please let me know.
Best,
Sara

Crash when opening Mobile account for the first time

I have some issue with my client mobile account I have set up on theMacMini server and on the MacBook Pro client. Actually I was never able to open completely the mobile account on the client (i.e. it crashes after synchronization between client & server and prior opening the account: it freezes on the "sky&stars" screen).
First of all, I created the (empty) mobile account on the server and then on the client (also empty).
Next, I copied my local account on the client to the mobile account on the client.
Following step was the synchronization between both mobile accounts - and here I'm.
Some details:
local account: Paul-admin - home directory: Paul
mobile account on the client: PaulM - home directory: palm
mobile account on the server: PaulM - home directory: palm
To make a copy of the local account to the mobile one (both on the client machine) via Terminal:
cp -r /users/Paul/ /Users/palm/
To correct the permissions:
chown -R PaulM /Users/palm
Have I missed anything or did I something wrong ?

Some discovered complementary information:
This "freeze" happens only when the client MBP is connected to the server via my LAN. If I disconnect the client, I can open the mobile account without any issue. Also, this mobile account is under parental control, even if I didn't specify this parameter in any server menu and when I change it on the client, it comes back after the synchronisation. Any idea ?

Which application should I use to open Firefox 4 for the first time?

I want to update my Firefox 3.6.15 to Firefox 4. When I click on the "Download Firefox 4" icon, a window opens and asks me what application I wish to use to open Firefox 4. I have no idea!

You can save the DMG file for Mac to the desktop and install the Firefox application.
