Info box...open with

Hi there,
The "Open with" option when you "cmd I" on a file, it let you choose what application you wnat to open that file with. How could I assign Illustrator to open vector .eps format and Photoshop to open bitmap .eps files?
It used to work perfectly by default but for no apparent reason it just all went!
Cheers

Hi Joseph -
AFAIK, eps files are neither vector nor raster. They contain postscript code that defines the content programatically, and it is the nature of the application that determines whether the content is interpreted as raster or vector. In this case, AI is vector-based, PS is raster-based.
As far as the OS is concerned, eps is eps. If the file is 'tagged' with a specific creator, that determines the app that will launch when you double-click the file (eps files saved by Photoshop will open with Photoshop), assuming the creator app is available on your system. The file icon will also reflect the app that will open the file by default.
If the eps file is not 'tagged' by a specific app or the creator app isn't known or available, whatever you have set in Get Info will take precedence (Preview is actually the OS X default, I believe). Untagged files will display the icon of the designated Open With app.
If you need to open a file with a certain app, Command+Click the file & choose Open With to pick the desied one rather than double-clicking the file.

TS1717 when trying to open itunes red x box opens with "new itunes library". No options provided

when trying to open itunes red x box opens with "new itunes library". No options provided

Sorry reply is only to say "ditto" except for iPod involvement. I can't repair iTunes, can't access it when in programs/features
Any other suggestions out there? I tried reinstall, no difference. Had latest version anyway. Only thing different I did the last time I was able to get into iTunes was listen to radio streams. ??????

I can't paste text into info boxes anymore with the latest version of itunes

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of itunes (on Windows 7), I can no longer paste text into the info boxes when I edit song information. I can’t paste by right-clicking or Ctrl+V, this is driving me crazy because I’m trying to add info on a Russian artist with Cyrillic letters and I can’t do it! I didn’t buy the song from itunes so it can’t be issues with Copyrighting although the same thing happens with songs from the store and every other song in my library. I can paste text into the lyrics section but that’s it. I restarted my computer after reinstalling the latest versions of itunes and Firefox today hoping it would fix my problem but it didn’t. Is this happening to anyone else? I hope someone can help me! Oh and it isn’t just with Russian, I tried to paste English info just to see if it was a problem with recognizing Cyrillic and still nothing pastes, the boxes just stay blank.
Itunes is annoying me more than ever. With the constant updates you’d think they would be able to improve all bugs but once one problem is fixed another occurs and it’s so irritating because I couldn’t care less about how my library looks as long as everything is organized in a simple way and I can sync my ipod without spending forever on itunes re-editing stuff and readjusting to updated layout changes. Apple’s attempts at making things look “cool” isn’t worth the F-ing constant problems which matter more! Okay, rant over

That would be Manually manage, not Manually syncing.
Click the drop down arrow at top left the Show menu.
Then iTunes menu View > Show sidebar.
Select the iPod then you can select the Summary tab.

Today's Firefox upgrade doesn't let browser open normally, a little box opens with choices "file" "edit" "view" .

After today's (October 13) Firefox upgrade, browser doesn't open normally. Instead, a small box appears with the choices of "file" "edit" and "view". Choosing "full screen" under "view" opens to include the entire page...the normal bottom and top lines are gone. You need to fix whatever you messed up. Windows Vista 2, 32-bits.

You seem to have the classic menu bar enabled.

Having the info panel open with curves open

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I usually set my white and black points using curves. Set the points then go to curves and adjust the points with the RGB channels. In PS CC, I cannot seem to have the curves and info panel open at the same time. Anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thank you,
Jim

Hi, c.pfaffenbichler, Here is a screenshot of the curves properties panel open. I would like to see the info panel open at the same time so I can drag the point on the curve to specific values of R,G and B. If I click on the info tab in this curves panel the info comes up but I do not see the curves properties anymore. I want to be able to see both open at the same time.
Thank you,
Jim

Finder - Get Info - changing "Open With"

In the Finder, I accidentally changed the default application specified to open a .nib file. How do I change it back to <NONE>. It is a system file.
Powerbook G4 Titanium (DVI) Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Since replacing the file had no effect, it would seem that you made the change apply to all ".nib" files, either by clicking the "Change all" button in "Get Info", or by agreeing to do this in a warning dialogue. One place these settings are stored is in the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist" file in each user's "~/Library/Preferences" folder.
No guarantees, but try launching "/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app" and entering the three commands below. The method depends on a command that isn't installed by default but will likely be present if you have been keeping up with your Apple updates and have left the contents of '/Library/Receipts' alone. It also assumes that the nightly maintenance tasks have been allowed to run:<pre>a='-c "Delete LSPrefsBindings:E\:nib" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist'
sh -c "`locate PlistBuddy |xargs ls -lt |head -1 |sed 's/.* $[^ ]*PlistBuddy$/\1/'` $a"
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to quit'</pre>You could also use 'plutil' to convert the file to "xml" format and edit the file with a text editor. The GUI way would be to install the "X Code Tools" and use "Plist Editor.app" to edit your user's "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist" file. Or to simpy remove the plist file, although this will remove all custom "Change all" assignments of applications for file types (actually, for this reason, it might be a good idea to back up the file first before trying the commands above).

I have to select a file – get Info – and change – open with and change from preview to another program and CHANGE ALL everytime I boot up

Why do I have to select a file – get Info – select – open with – and change from Preview to another program and click CHANGE ALL with every file extention everytime I boot up.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Database connection dailog opens with missing fields

Greetings all,
I have one user who has a couple reports that do not display all the fields in the database connection dialog box when she attempts to refresh the data in a report.
Normally this dialog box opens with the Datasource, UserID (of the last person who saved data with the report) and Database prefilled, so only the Password needs to be completed or the UserID changed.
For her (and this is only happening on a couple reports), only the Datasource text box is visible. The datasource is correctly filled in but in order to see the other fields, she needs to click the next button and then click back. Then all three fields - UserID, Password and Database need to be entered.
This only started in the past couple months and so far is only occuring with 2 reports, both new. Other new reports are acting normally.
We are using Crystal Reports XI with the latest service packs. Our reports are in a shared folder on the network. So far I have not been able to duplicate this behavior on anyone else' machine.
Any idea's on what might be causing this or how to correct it?
TIA,
Bob

I would check that persons database client and/or version of MDAC. May also be a permission issue on tables.

Every time I open a new Firefox window a dowload dialog box opens

Every time I open a new Firefox window, a download dialog box opens with the last youtube .flv file that I converted to an mp3 from www.flv2mp3.com and the box offers the options to open it or save it. I have to click cancel it every time (or try opening it or saving it) to make it to go away. If I open a new tab or new window while I still have the original window open, it doesn't do it. Is this a glitch in Download Helper or did I get a never ending script from flv.com, or what?

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Users changing 'open with:' not working/permanent

We have an issue with 'open with:' (within get info options) not permanently remembering any changes.
We have Lion Server set up as OD and when users login any PDF or EPS files are set to open using Preview, users then change this via 'get info' to 'open with:' (change all) Acrobat and iIlustrator. But, this only works for the present session. If they move to another mac or a mac is restarted, the options revert back to Preview, not a permanently change to Acrobat and illustrator.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

We have now changed to a new Server running ML Server and still having the same problems, is there no-one who knows how to solve this???

Preventing app install from subverting my "open with" preference

Howdy,
I'm using a machine with OSX 10.5.8 in a lab setting in which a system administrator periodically installs new versions of Open Office. It seems that whenever he does this, the "open with" settings for .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, and .pptx are subverted so that they launch Open Office. My preference is to launch the Microsoft Office programs (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint). It has become something of a nuisance that every couple weeks I have to go through the tedious task of resetting those six launch preferences (by selecting a doucment with that extension, doing "get info", setting "open with", then doing "change all").
Is it possible for me to set my launch preferences in a way that new installs can't change them?
Or, is it possible for the sys admin to do the install in a way that doesn't clobber my launch prefs?
Thanks for any help

Is there a better place I should post my question?

Always open with not working

Some of my .kmz files are opening with Google Earth (good) and some are opening with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (bad). I tried the following
1) Rebuild launchservices database in Onyx
2) Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEvents per the advice at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11031322
I still get the following in the Finder
a) Select a .kmz with the icon that indicates that it will open in Photoshop
b) Get info, select "Open with: Google Earth"
c) Select Change All...
d) Confirm that I am sure that I want to do this
e) WATCH THE FINDER REVERT TO OPEN WITH ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4 for this document!
Any thoughts, or is this just a bug I have to live with?

I have the exact same issue. It occurs with every file type I've tried.
Any suggestions?
