Is it possible to set ID 5 as default app for INDD files?

I am using Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), and I have upgraded to ID 5.5 for the 30-day trial. As I am not sure whether I want to keep it, I would like to keep ID 5 as the application associated with INDD files, as opposed to ID 5.5. Is this possible? Currently, when I click on a file to open it, it automatically opens in 5.5. I have tried to set the default application in the "Get Info" panel (please see attached screenshot), but it doesn't seem to stick. I know that a workaround is simply to open ID 5, and then open INDD files through the FILE>OPEN command, but it would be easier if I could open files directly by clicking on them in a Finder window.
Thanks,
Neil

You can also start the cs4 versions of the program first and when you double click on any creative suite files it will default to the program you have running.
Alternative would be to drag them to the required version.

Set pages to be default program for *.doc files

Is it possible to set pages to be the default program which my computer will ALWAYS use to open a MS word document? In windows i could set default programs for specific file types, e.g. .jpg, .mpg, mp3. I did not have to assign a program to open the program every single time. As far as I can tell , I have had to request pages to open my word documents every time i open a word doc. for the first time. Although I can set pages to be the default program for that one file, i want it set to ALWAYS OPEN ALL WORD DOCS. , until further specified. Any suggestions?
thx.

Highlight a known Word document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages. If Pages is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages. You can then double-click the Word documents & they will open in Pages. Note that the icon for the Word files will have a plain, white icon.

Set default app for generic files

I don't know when this started happening, but some OSX update broke my opening generic files. Now when I doubleclick the generic file icon it opens in Microsoft Word, which is unacceptable. So I deleted Word and now the files open in a genealogy application, which has to throw a number of error dialogs before it can be closed.
How do generic files know to open in the genealogy app? Is this something in Launch Services I can change to set them to open in a decent UNIX editor? This bugs me, because it all worked well until a few months ago.
If I say:
defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices 'LSHandlers'
the resulting text contains:
LSHandlerContentTag = ged;
LSHandlerContentTagClass = "public.filename-extension";
LSHandlerIgnoreCreator = 1;
LSHandlerRoleAll = "uk.ac.qmw.dcs.seegedcomx";
seegedcomx is the app that now opens all generic files. Is there a way to set this to a proper application?

More than likely it's a LaunchServices problem and you should reset its database. See http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html for details.

How do I set Preview to be the default app for opening ALL pdf's?

I have both Preview and Acrobat Professional on a Macbook Air running Mountain Lion.
I don't see an option if I get info on Preview to set it as the default app for all PDF's.
Where can I set this? I only use Acrobat on occasion for form fill-in but prefer to use Preview.
thanks
neil

Looks like I got it to work by selecting a document and setting in get info. For some reason it was not working before.
never mind

It should be possible to set default behavior for all file types

It should be possible to set a default action for all file types. I'm so tired of having to manually sit and say "save this file" because Firefail always defaults to "open with" and has disabled the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
And spare me the zealotry religious excuses for why its the fault of websites and not Firefail

I do want users to have full control to be able to set any folder view they want by using Apply to Folders; I just want to set the initial/default view to Detail because that matches what the majority of my users want.
That is, what registry setting changes when I go to a picture folder, change the view to Detail, and click Apply to Folders? Having done that, I still retain the ability to change it to some other view and apply that to folders. But what registry setting
represents the change I just made when applying Detail view to all Picture folders.?
This settings is simple via GUI, but it is related a lot of registry keys, I made a test in my machine, capture the "Apply to Folders" process using Regshot tool (this is a small tool which can compare the regsitry changes after you change some
settings), and this is the result:
this is part of the registry changes, a plenty of registry keys and values need to be changed. hard to list them here. if you have interests, I recommend the tool Regshot, it can help you capture the regsitry changes.

Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

Hi all,
I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
I created an Automator action that does two things:
gets the selected Finder items
opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?

After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player. It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types." I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

Is it possible to put adobe reader on my website for pdf file users ?

Is it possible to put adobe reader on my website for pdf file users ?

The point is that, like all licensed software, you need permission to redistribute it in any form. So the question is: is that permission granted? If you can find anywhere that grants it that's fine.
Adobe used to give out such permission back in the days of Reader 1, 2, 3... but I believe it was long ago removed. There is a strong reason to do this today: third party redistributors aren't likely to be hot on updating to new versions etc. There is a more cynical view: Adobe would also lose such benefits as it might get from offering dubious "extras" with the download. Finally, and strongly - if anyone can distribute it, these days who can tell who has the real product and who has a malware impersonator?

Cannot set default programs for a file extension in Gnome

After a gnome upgrade (cannot remember when), I can no longer set the default program for a particular file extension by right clicking the file in nautilus -> going to "properties" -> going to "open with" tab -> highlighting a program -> pressing "set as default".

The program I was trying to set was totem for default video playback; wine had made windows media player the default player prior. Interestingly, once I installed gnome-mplayer; the default program changed to gnome-mplayer and I was then able to switch default programs. This error may be related to wine.

I get "application not found" when clicking on a http link in a mail, even after having set firefox as the default program for http links.

After installing firefox 15.0, I can not open links form email or other office 2010 applications. I get "application not found" error. I tried setting firefox as the default program both manually (in the Windows default program panel) and automatically (having Firefox to do it automatically on startup (tools->options->advanced->General). I still have the error.

That sounds odd. Is this error coming from a particular e-mail program you're using? It could be that that program has its own settings for which web browser to launch, ignoring the "default browser" setting in Windows.
Does the same thing happen if you click on a web link from any other external (non-browser) application on your computer? If it happens with other apps too, I would suggest to re-download and install Firefox (www.mozilla.org) and see if that takes care of it.

How to set width/height of iPad app in ipa file

Hello,
I am developing an app for iPad in Flash Builder 4 and Packager for Iphone.
I set the width and height node values in the descriptor XML and compile the application. When I run the same in iPad, I am not able to see any effect on the app's width and height.
Also, in default load, app opens in dimensions as per the iphone view and not specifically for iPad.
Any help?

Set Paper Source by Page Size for multi files

I have over 500 pdf files. How can I batch set "Paper Source by Page Size" in Print Dialog Preset for these files.
Thanks!

Hi Andrew,
Apple made some pretty significant changes to the way that printers function when they released 10.6.
The setting you're looking for is completely controlled by the OS.
Choose Apple > System Preferences > Print & Fax.
Click on your printer and use the drop-down menu to change the default page size for your printer.
