I've set m4v files to "always ask" but it opens in the browser player anyway

Since one of the latest version, Firefox now has a built-in player for certain flash based videos, like m4v. Now, when I try to download such videos (by copy-pasting the direct url to the file into the url bar) it will just open that video in the player. I've tried changing it from always-ask to save file, but even that won't work.
Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

hello, firefox 21 and above now make use of the codecs that are included in your OS that enable it to directly play mp3 & mpeg files (also for html5 videos). in order to disable that, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''media.windows-media-foundation.enabled'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

Anyway to download a file right from acrobat without it opening in the browser.

I have created a simple interactive order form for our dealers. I intend to deliver the form via email, specifically mailchimp. However, in mailchimp when linking to a file it opens in the browser. This is an issue because the submit button doesn't function properly in some browsers, i.e Firefox and Chrome. Is it possible to download a file to your computer right from Acrobat, or is there a simple way that I could program the file to download to the computer instead of the browser within mailchimp. I am not a programmer, so I didn't know if this was an option or not.
Thanks

Can't you just include the PDF as an attachment to the email?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

I purchased my mac oct 2011 with the latest version of iPhoto, but why am i not able to upgrade to the current version? I'm always asked to log in with the name i used to buy the app. does it mean i have to purchase the update?

I purchased my mac Sept 2011 with the latest version of iphoto. Every time I try to do an iphoto update I'm always asked to log in with the name I used to purchase the app. Does this mean that I have to purchase the latest update? I thought the updates were free and if it so, how do I actually update iphoto?

DId you Accept the apps when you bought the Mac? In the App Store go to the Purchases List and press Accept there. Then you'll be able to update. If that's not available then you'll need to contact App Store support.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I cannot get PDF files to open in the browser using Acrobat 9.0

I have my Application options set to "Use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 (default)," yet clicking on a pdf link causes the file to be downloaded and opened outside of the browser.
I've checked for missing plug-ins, but that only leads me to a download page for Adobe Reader 10, which should not be necessary since I already have the full version of Acrobat.

In my case it's with .puz files, which are crossword puzzle files used by sites like the New York Times and read by the application AcrossLite. I went into preferences and tried to change the action for the file type from "Save File" to AcrossLite but it would not take. Set it instead to "Always Ask" and then in the dialogue box selected AcrossLite and "always do this" and it gave an unknown error.
This is FF 4 on a Mac.

first, you just asked me to use MS file Explorer to see what the properties were.,..and to ask what happened. Yes - that's on my hard drive. The problem I have is opening word files in a DB that is web enabled.....I've used Firefox browser for that, and everything else , for years...... When I look at the Tools, and options on FireFox., as your support page noted.....NOTHING is listed in the Applications tab....hence my note asking for help. The file I need to open is a Word file out on a web enabled DB. It's not on my hard drive - I have to problems opening docs there - but for that, I don't use Firefox

EML files are not opened in the browser

EML files opened from a SharePoint 2010 document libraries are not opened in the browser. Instead, a dialog box is opened and prompts to save the file.
Since there's no standard application that knows how to handle EML files, and since the EML format is built into SP (send emails to document libraries), I think this behavior is unacceptable.
EML files should be opened in the browser, similar to SP 2007.

Seems the solution is in the client side configuration.
If eml files (as all other file types) are not configured to open by default in Outlook 2007 (or Windows Live Mail), they will be prompted for download or open.
The registry change link I provided earlier did not work for me. I tried this:

solved my problem. Seems by default eml file set to MIME message/rfc822 and associated with windows live mail - SharePoint team hates Outlook team, right?
If you do not have such assoication, it opens in browser!
My settings: MOSS 2007, windows 7, outlook 2007.

THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

Hello Damien,
There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone. You can use the following steps to set this up:
You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
Turn on or restart the device
Wake the device
Unlock the screen
Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
You can find the full article here:

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

I have a large number of photos on 1.44MB discs. Quicktime flags the files as corrupted but they open with the on board program. The file has a quicktime xtension.

I have a lot of 1.44MB disks with pictures. When I tried to open them I got a message that Quick Time was not properly installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled Quick Time as instructed. Then I got a message that Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was missing, I corrected that and now get a message that the picture files are corrupted. But if I use the program that is on the disk, the pictures appear just fine. Any thoughts as to what is going on? The file structure on the disc identifies the pictures with a Quick Time icon and as Type PICT. The properties window shows a .pic extension. Any thoughts on how I can get this to open in an XP Pro or Vista PC?

Use the on board viewer program to export the file as bitmap or jpg and work with that.

I'm having the same issue. Different programs though, it's mostly browsers and adobe products. I thought maybe it was heat related but it's not. It seems that as soon as Lion was about to be released, the updates were updating in preparation for Lion. I delayed updating the software updates because Adobe (my career) isn't totally compatible with Lion yet. Before I even started getting update notifications, though, within the recent week, it's freezing up constantly. I don't know what to do. It seems to be happening with my brower choice, I'm using Firefox and Chrome as my main browsers. I keep alot of sessions open but that shouldn't cause (and has never caused) this constant freezing issue. I did install some extensions in Chrome and Firefox, maybe that's the problem... The issues began after those were installed though, 3 weeks to a month later... Maybe the software updates (that I installed thinking it would correct the freezing issue), maybe they are preventing other browsers ? Maybe Apple is getting rid of Chrome and Firefox ? I'm not having issues with Safari (yet) though I just opened it for the first time in 2 months... only because the macbook is freezing (and it's also rebooting while asleep, closing all of my projects and not saving them)...
My Macbook Pro is the same year and the HDD is a year new. The manufacture recall had the video whatever replaced a few months ago.
I've never had these kinds of problems with an Apple computer. I'm using Snow Leopard and I'm very attached to this laptop ! It's configured perfectly.
Why oh why does it freeze constantly within the recent 1-2 weeks ?
Someone please help us !

.png files open in browser even though I have set prefs for .png files to "Always ask" instead. How fo I force Firefox to save .pngs and not open in browser?

Forefox will not download or ask me to save .png files even though I set that file extension in Prefs -> Applications dialog box to be "Always ask"
I have to be able to donwload and save .png files and I can't do that if they load in a browser window.

I find it odd that the browsers on the Android platform can't support this on their own. I know that Google Chrome on it's full blown version for the PC is able to do so without using the Adobe software for the embedded PDF aka using "The Adobe PDF Link Helper" . I would love to see this change especially since I prefer Firefox over other browsers.

I've set m4v files to "always ask" but it opens in the browser player anyway
