Is it possible to choose the program that opens files I've downloaded?

I just got a mac and therefore started using safari so I'm definitely not accustomed to it yet...when I download word documents from my profs at school, and I click on them after they've downloaded to open them, it opens with TextEdit. I don't like TextEdit and want to know if I can change that so when I click to open them, they open with Pages. TextEdit doesn't always show the exact same content as Pages, as I just found out today when I printed out some homework but was missing half a page since TextEdit didn't show it. Thanks!

Greetings,
Yes, you can specify the program used to open files you download, as long as it's capable of doing it. In the case of using Pages for Word documents, Pages has to convert the document first, and that won't always give you all the formatting that was in the original Word file. All you have to do is select the file, press Command-I to Get Info, then click on the disclosure triangle next to the "Open with:" section and choose the program you want to use to open it. You also have the option to make that change apply to all such documents, including those on your Mac already.
Then close the Get Info panel and you're done.

How do I change the programs that open upon startup?

I am trying to figure out how to change the programs that open when I start my computer.

To add or remove them, go to: Apple / System Preferences / Accounts / Login Items
To add then without going to Login Items, right (control) click on the Dock Icon, choose Option and click Open at Login.

I downloaded Photoshop Elements and now it has become the program that opens photos.

I recently downloaded Photoshop Elements for editing photos. Now it has displaced iPhoto as the default program for opening photos. How do I get the default set back to iPhoto?

Now it has displaced iPhoto as the default program for opening photos.
Do you mean that it has replaced iPhoto as the default program for editing photos that are already in iPhoto?
Or, do you mean that PE is the default application for opening a .jpeg file on your desktop, or elsewhere outside of iPhoto?

Is it possible to choose the serial port if only the run time engine is installed

I have an application, which communicates over the serial port. When I use the full version of Labview I can change the serial port without any problem from Com1 to Com2 (similar to the example “Hardeware input output -> serial -> Labview serial vi"). When I build an application and try to run this program on a computer where only the run time engine 6.1 is installed, it is not possible to choose the serial port. Since there is no “Measurement and Automation Explorer” available on the run time engine and no directory C:\VXIpnp is created, when the run time engine is installed, I do not see a way, how I can satisfy the computer with the information it needs for configuring
the different ports. Any suggestions?

Hi Daniel,
Before LV6.1 there was LV5.1 In LV5.1 the way to Spedify a resource was to use a string control with correct VIsa Resource Class identifier. For eg. "GPIB0::11" or "ASRL1::INSTR". With Introduction of VISA Resource Name Control and linking with MAX, These names are Available from Pull Down List and Can be Aliased, meaning ASRL1 which is Serial Port 1 can be called COM1 and so on. However the old method still works with all 6.1 Controls. Only thing is you have to make sure you Dont Conflict the Class Names ie Use "GPIB::.." instead of "ASRL..." when addressing Serial Port VI's.
To solve your Problem I would Build a Menu ring with COM1 to COM4 in the Pull Down List.
Next, If I use the Traditonal Serial Port VI wich accepts the Integer as Seria
l Port #. I just Wire the Menu Ring to this VI.(Remember COM1 is 0, COM2 is 1 for this VI)
If I use VISA Config Serial Post. I build an Array Constant with Corresponding VISA Class Names So in our case a String Array Constant of 4 elements "ASRL1::INST" to "ASRL4::INST". I Use Index Array Function With the Index Wired to my Menu Ring. The Array Input Terminal Wired to the Array Constant. The Output of this Array will be correct Visa Class Name Based on slection of my Menu Ring. I can Wire this as Input to my VISA Config Serial Port Vi.
I have attached a Small VI to Illustrate this.
Drawback: You must Predefine what Ports you will Want to Use. Basically you define all the cases.
I hope this Answers your Q!
Good Luck

nce of nth triggering pulse. i need to know when the when the ist trigger occurs and when the nth trigger occurs . please tell me how to to . what i know is that event triggering has to be done with start and stop trigger. please tell me how it has to doneSuresh;
What you will need to do is to set up a digital start and stop triggered Analog Input acquisition. Then you will need to have a counter set as event counter, having the specific number of pulses you need configured as the preset value, configured to count down, and generating a pulse after the terminal count has been reached. That counter output will be the stop trigger of the Analog Input operation. In summary, you will have the external pulse being both the digital trigger of the Analog Input operation and the source pin of the counter, and the counter output being the digital stop signal for the analog input.
I'm attaching a Labview VI that does the start and stop analog input acquisition. You will need to include the counter part and set the stop s
ignal to be the counter output.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to change the compiler that is built into Sun Creator?

Is it possible to change the compiler that is built into Sun Creator?
I would like to compile my project to run under the JNI. I have tried to use the command line to run the javah -jni filenames but I always get errors and my assumption is that I need to change or adapt the IDE WITHOUT violating any licensing agreements to get the JNI working in this IDE.
I would appreciate any help that I could get in regards to this issue whther someone from SUN wants to comment or if any developer's have had this issue and have solved it...

Okay, I just tried this. I changed the default location of J2SE JDK in the creator conf file. Saved the file.
For example:
#netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Sun\Creator2_1\java"
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\JDK1.5.0_04"
On restarting the IDE the new path is taken. To see the change: go to main menu -> Help -> About Java Studio Creator . Go to Detail tab. You will see the values for Java and Java Home changed as per your change in the creator.conf file.
Hope this helps.

Is possible to purchase the program and host it on our own server?

Is possible to purchase the program and host it on our own server?

Like so many questions, the answer is: yes... maybe.
Mac OS X Server includes a web server, so it's entirely possible (trivial, even) to create a web site on your server.
Making it available to the outside world depends a little bit on your network connection - you'll probably need to tweak your router/firewall configuration to let external connections into your server.
Then you also need to consider your network speed - remote users will be limited to the upload speed of your link - if you're on a residential link that might not be all that fast. In addition, many large ISPs restrict the running of servers on residential connections (you don't say whether your server is located on a business or residential link).
Beyond that, though there are various back-end technologies that you can use to add dynamic elements to your pages (so they're not just static HTML pages). Things like PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python and more are built in, as is MySQL if you want a databased-driven site. Some technologies are not supported, though, such as ASP. Therefore you might need to consider what dynamic content system (if any) you want to run.

Instead of running firefox.exe, computer asks me to "choose the program you want to use to open this file".

When I click on either the firefox shortcut or firefox.exe in the Mozilla folder, instead of running, the computer asks me to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox.exe". The recommended program is Adobe Reader 9.1, which obviously doesn't help.
I have uninstalled firefox and downloaded it again, but now I am trying to run Firefox Setup 4.0.exe, and it asks me again to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox setup 4.0.exe" Help?

This is a registry problem with your .exe entry
The below program worked for me on my vista machine.

You can download an exe file from there that automatically sorts the issue or you can edit the registry manually.

How can I stop my Firefox browser from preventing Click Earner, a program that opens email ads on safelists, from opening the URL's in the email ads?

Hello fellow-users of Mozilla Firefox,
I send email ads using 20 different safelists every day. To get credits for sending those ads I click email ads sent by other subscribers.
Since early this year I've been using Click Earner -- http://www.clickearner.net/ -- to help speed up this task. Click Earner "fetched"
the emails from each safelist and opened each URL advertised in each email. This was a very quick job and all I did was close each tab
displaying the URL. Credits for clicking the URL were added to my safelists accounts.
Since a week ago, without me doing anything at all, my Click Earner stopped opening the emails automatically as was the case for
several months since I started using it. Click Earner support claimed Firefox prevented the program from opening the URL in a new tab each time it fetched an email ad. True enough, yesterday when I watched Click Earner in action I saw a pop-up from Firefox saying something like "Firefox prevented..." I couldn't read the rest as the pop-up disappeared immediately. And that was the only
time I saw it.
Right now I have to open each URL manually to see the ad and earn credits. This is a very slow process, just the same as when I open the emails in my gmail account. It's useless for me to subscribe to Click Earner. And it takes forever for me to earn credits from all the safelists.
I'd appreciate it very much if any one of you folks would help me overcome this glitch. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in anticipation.
Regards,
Tom Graciano

You could try turning off Firefox's pop-up blocker.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
There you will find a checkbox for "Block pop-up windows". Assuming it's checked, uncheck it.
Does that return to the behavior you want?

No, the reason is that iOS and OS X are completely different operating systems. Apps written for one will not work for the other.

Close the Programs that are opened by OSS Note

Hi,
We had opened some of the standard programs (With access key) and made the modifications as per the OSS note some time back, the programs that were modified are still open for editing even now and the client is concerned about the sanctity of the standard programs as they are open for everyone any one can make changes to the programs, how one can make sure that the object once opened should be closed immediately afer applying modifications, does SAP has any kind of mechanism using which we can track this,
Any help would be highly appreciated,
Rgds,

Hi Sailatha,
Once you have modified an SAP Object using an access key it becomes a custom Object. It can be modified at any time by any developer in the development system. If you have used the Modification Assistant or SNOTE while making the changes the first time, you will be prompted to retain your changes or reset to original in SPAU during upgrades / support packs.

When trying to open lightroom I get a message that says, "The lightroom.exe that the short cut refers to has been changed or moved, so the short cut will no longer work properly. Do you want to remove this short cut? The program has opened and worked fi

When trying to open lightroom I get a message that says, "The lightroom.exe that the short cut refers to has been changed or moved, so the short cut will no longer work properly. Do you want to remove this short cut? The program has opened and worked fine in the past.

You have (probably accidentally) moved or deleted the Lightroom program. You need to find it (have your operating system search for lightroom.exe) and move it back to where the shortcut expects it to be.

Is it possible to edit the calendar that an event is on from the phone?

iPhone 2.0: I hope I'm not missing something here (though, I guess I hope I am), but is it possible to change the calendar that an event is on, after adding it to iPhone? In other words, first adding to Calendar an event to any of several calendars I have on my phone ("Home," for example), then going back to edit it to change the calendar to "Work," all from the phone itself? Going back to edit an event allows changing Title/Location, Starts/Ends, Repeat, Alert, Notes. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The option to change the calendar in edit mode is missing, which is a glaring oversight by Apple. I really makes no sense to omit this option. I will be very disappointed if it is not added in the next update. You either have to delete and add it as a new event in the proper calendar, or edit it in iCal on the computer.
