HT2506 how do you set Preview as the default for opening pdf in browser?

How do I set the Preview application to be the default for viewing PDF's in while in Safari? Previously, while in Safari and clicking on links to PDF's, they would display with buttons on the bottom that made it simple to view and download the PDF. Since updating Adobe Reader it seems Reader is now the default application for viewing PDF's accessed from the internet. I haven't been able to figure out how to revert back to Preview.....

I did this and now Safari won't open the form at all.
I put the files back and it opens in Adobe.
When I save the files to desktop they open in Preview. But I am trying to read pdf's(? forms) while in Safari.
Adobe does not work smoothly in Safari and scrolling to read is a nightmare.
OS X 10.8.5
This problem came up within the last few months.
Before everything opened in Preview perfectly.

How do I set Pages as the default to open docs?

Hello community of helpful people:
I am just starting out with a brand new MacBook and Pages and have thousands of documents in Word that I will be working with (eventually). When I open them (with double click) they open with the default program "TextEdit." The only way I can figure out how to open them is by right-clicking and selecting "Open with Pages." This is cumbersome. I know there must be a simple way to set the Pages as the default instead of TextEdit. Also, when I have saved a document (with a copy saved into Word), when I open the Pages document it, of course, opens in Pages. But if I open the word document that I just saved out of Pages, it opens in TextEdit.
Can someone share the secret with me for setting Pages as my default word processor?
Also, is there any advantage to opening in TextEdit? Why is this the default setting? These are less important questions, but I'm still interested.
Thanks!

Can someone share the secret with me for setting Pages as my default word processor?
Right-click one, choose Get Info, select Pages under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm this action.
Why is this the default setting?
TextEdit is present on a Mac OS X system unless manually deleted. Pages isn't bundled with the OS.

Make preview the default for opening .pdf

I can't open a document in Preview (when I try an iCloud screen shows up). So I want to make Preview my default .pdf reader and open the doc by clicking on it's title. But I don't know how to do that.

Hi jackoett,
Go into your Documents or Downloads in your Finder and find a PDF file and click on it to select it (not to open it). Then click on "File" in the top menu and select "Get Info". You will see a dropdown like this:
As you can see, it currently says "Open With" Adobe Reader. Click on the little arrows to the right to see your other options:
Select "Preview"
Right below the dropdown, you will see an option to "Change All" - click on this, and you will get the following warning:
If you do want to open all future PDF docs with Preview, click Continue. If you ever want to change it back, (or just change one of them to Adobe Reader), just follow the same steps.
Cheers,
GB

How do you make mobile numbers the default number used in your contacts for sending text?

How do you make mobile numbers the default number used in your contacts for sending text?

Go to your contacts, find the contact that you wish to text, hit 'edit', and move that contact's numbers around until the mobile number is at the top. Arduous I know, but it works. Now when you go to text that person, the mobile number should be the default.
Best.

Using Crystal Reports as the default for opening .rpt files

Hi all,
I know this is a simple question with a simple answer, but I'm baffled, so here goes. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 and I have the Crystal Report Viewer installed on my computer. I want to open .rpt files with Crystal Reports 2008 as the default application, not Crystal Report Viewer.
When I right-click the .rpt file I have three options, Crystal Report Viewer 2008, Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector, and Choose Program. When I select Choose Program, then click the Browse button, Crystal Reports is not available as one of the programs to choose.
When I look at the programs available via the Control Panel, I see Crystal Reports 2008, but I'm not able to select it as the default for opening .rpt files. I'm assuming the program file is in my Program Files folder somewhere in the Business Objects folder, but I'm not sure which file I need to set Crystal as the default program. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 12

How do you set up usb device (remote for ppt) to work with iPad2

How do you set up a USB Device (a remote) to work with an iPad 2? I have the digital camera connector but when I plug the remote in, the device is not recognizable. We are trying to run a slideshow on the iPad using the remote to advance the slides. Thus, the viewer does not have to swipe to advance to the next slide.

...I have the digital camera connector...
Simple answer: no, you can't use that remote with the iPad.
The Camera Connection Kit (CCK) is only for importing pictures. It is not a general purpose USB port so will not work with just any USB device, other than cameras and USB flash drives (but only to import pictures.)

How do I set firefox as the default browser in Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Editor?

Hello, I am unable to set firefox as the default browser despite multiple different attempts to do so using group policy.
I have:
- Set a registry command (targeted at 32/64 via a WMI query) to reset the opening command as shown below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1"
- Set a powershell logon script to run (that does run):
firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
Despite setting the above it seems the client computers browsers are not affected by the settings above. When the script runs or if I run the command above a UAC window pops up and requests that I accept the command (for the setDefaultBrowser) but even if I click yes as an administrator it does nothing.
Since GPO in 2012 has changed perhaps there is something that I am missing? Do I need to somehow disable Windows Internet Explorer from achieving default browser status?
Please do not reply if you will suggest that I use Internet Explorer Maintenance (since this function in GPO has been disabled since IE10)
My DC is Server 2012, my client computers are Win7 32/64.

The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

How can I make CS4 the default for opening?

Help! I have most versions of PS but I prefer CS4. I am a photographer. Forever CS4 was the default when opening photos. Something happened yesterday and now when I double click on a photo to open it it opens but not in CS4. Not sure what version it's opening in. But I want it to open in 4. I can right click each and every time to open in 4 but I open tons of photos all day long and that takes too long. How can I again make it so that CS4 is the default?
Thank you.

Thanks. I couldn't figure out what you meant.
What does CMD I stand for?
If I right click on a file I can open in CS4 but there's no 'change all' there, just option of opening in CS4 or something else.
I open RAW files. Then later I open jpg files. I think they are opening in CS4 as RAW (not sure) but the jpgs are not. If I right click it says CS6 is the default -- first one listed and has (default) next to it.

Cannot set an app as default for opening certain file type

I'm using "MIRaw Viewer" 1.4.3 app to check my RAW video footage from a Canon 5D Mark III + Magic Lantern. I want to open all of these .RAW files with MlRaw Viewer by default. But when I tried to do that on the info window, I get the (-1083) error. I've searching for a solution both on the forum and on the internet, but the solutions I found are notr working for me. I've repaired disk permissions, repaired the disk with disk utility while booting and reseting lanch services on terminal with no luck.
Any help appreciated.
Best,
Pablo

They don't but whatever. Thank you very much. Congrats on your 1900th post!
Oh yeah, didn't notice that. I'm getting old .
You can change the icon to whatever you want by:
1. Opening the image you want the icon to be.
2. Copy the image to the clipboard.
3. Open the Get Info window for the item you want to change the icon for.
4. Select the icon in the upper left, so it's highlighted.
5. Paste the other image.
The desired image will now be the icon.
I also think you can force it to re-do the icon by making a change to the file and saving it. (i'm not that familiar with VLC, so i'm not sure what you can easily change like that).
Good luck!
