ITunes is somehow the default opening acsm files instead of digital editions
So, I am trying to borrow eBooks from the library and download them into Adobe Digital Editions and then transfer them to my Kobo, but it is not so simple. I can download the acsm file, but when I double-click to open it, it tries to open in iTunes instead of Adobe Digital Editions. I can then go to my downloads folder, right-click on it and "open with.." Digital Editions. Is there a way to change this default? On my father's MacBook Air (I have a MacBook Pro), when you double click on the download it automatically opens in Digital Editions. I just want it to work this way on my computer!
Also, I am having issues transferring from Digital Editions to my Kobo - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - and I can't figure out why. Any thoughts?
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=
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.

Good evening,
I get the above error message inside ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS. I did the following before getting this error:
a) bought three books from Google Play
b) Downloaded the three .acsm files reffering to the books from the google play online page and added them to library(in Adobe Digital Editions-ADE for abreviation from now on), without using any authorization.
c)the books opened successfully and with no problem.
d)I decided to make Adobe ID. After I made it I made authorization inside ADE and erased in the path ''C:\Users\SEA\Documents\My Digital Editions'' the three pdf files reffering to the books witch where downloaded after completing the steps b and c.
e) this was where the problem began... from there on I wasn't able to redownload the books again inside ADE so I can read them without using the browser and when I try to reopen the .acsm files(for downloading the books and making them accessible inside ADE) I get the error message ''Error getting license.License server communication problem: E_GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED'' .
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem?Puede que encuentres la respuesta aquí:

ACSM files cause Adobe Digital Editions to crash
So, I've been reading these forums trying to find an answer, but I haven't read about someone with the same problem. (If you know of a discussion where a solution was already posted, please link me if possible.) So, I decided to post this issue and see if anyone has some ideas about what to do.
I'm running OS 10.6.8 and the most recent Adobe Digital Editions. ADE can open/download some acsm files perfectly fine. However, for many, the application unexpectedly quits as soon as I try to open the acsm file. I know it's not the file, since I can send the file to someone else who uses the same computer and ADE version, and he can open the acsm just fine. I also know it's probably not ADE itself or my connection/firewall/etc., since I can open/download other acsm files perfectly fine. However, there seems to be a large number of acsm files that simply won't work for me and cause ADE to quit unexpectedly. Like I said, these same files work for someone else running the same version of ADE. Where should I look for the problem? These are not public library books. I do research at a graduate school, and these are ebooks that my school has paid for (the tech people there have been unable to help me). The person I sent the acsm files to test is not part of the institution, and yet he can still open the acsm files that I downloaded but can't open. So, I don't think it has to do with authorization either.
Does anyone have some trobleshooting suggestions beyond what I've just enumerated? Yes, I have uninstalled it and redownloaded it several times, along with essentially every other suggestion I've read on the forums, and still, many acsm files simply cause ADE to unexpectedly quit. If someone really wants, I can paste the entire error message that's given when it unexpectedly quits.
Thanks for any help.I have the 4.0.3 version and when i open the ACSM I get the "fulfilling license" window and then it crashes. i have uninstalled, reinstalled, authorized & deauthorized ADE. I tried to use my Overdrive account ID to authorize ADE, but when i downloaded a book, i got an error message so i deauthorized and authorized under my ADE. i have a mac with OX SY Yosemite version 10.10.2 .

How do I change the default program that opens .acsm files?
I am borrowing library eBooks to read on my Sony Reader. I want to ensure that Adobe Digital Editions is the default program to open .acsm files, but am not sure how to do that. Thanks for the help!
Right (control) click on the .acsm file > select Open With > then select Adobe Digital Editions.
Likewise you can select all of files in a folder with Edit > Select All > then Get Info and set them all to Open with: Adobe Digital Editions or whatever.

How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?
When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
Thanks.Originally posted by: kwarner.uneedspeed.net
Well... I found over 200 bugs none of which seemed to talk about setting
the default folder. I probably missed the relevant bug in the spew.
I ask a question here as a last resort -- after I've done what I think
is an appropriate search for answers.
But thanks for your help in any case.

when i plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes opens as normal, but for a while it's been giving me a message that says "iTunes is not the default media player" and after i 'tried' to do that, i'll close the settings window and my iTunes window will freeze and not close, reload, or anything. and if i "open drvice to view files" that window will freeze too, the internal storage window. i can't get iTunes to close with ALT+F4, or right clicking the tab on the bottom of the screen to close it, or clicking the 'X' button. the only way it closes is when i shut down my computer. please help me fix this. Its getting Really Really tiring having to restart my computer over and over.

I've transferred my Itunes Media Library to a NAS drive, and pointed Itunes (using the advanced preferences tab) to the relevant folder on the NAS drive. I have done this to free up disk space on a computer I primarily use for work but which I use both at home and at work. The NAS drive is at home. (To clarify, I am not expecting Itunes to function at work, only at home when access to the NAS drive is available).
Under certain circumstances Itunes will start-up at work and when it does it will create the folder structure for the Itunes Media Library in the default location (on the local drive) instead of looking for the location I have specified (the NAS drive) which it should not be able to find when I am at work and telling me that it can't find it (which would be fine).
How do I stop Itunes from recreating the default folder structure and defaulting the file path to the standard media library location on my local drive? Every time this happens I have to re-point Itunes to the NAS drive location, which often requires me to reconsolicate libraries which is tedious and time consuming. It seems that in the process of one of these consolidations I have lost some of the media files. They are still in the library (ie. visible in the Itunes window) but Itunes can't find the media associated with that file - identifying them with an excamation mark "!".
Any help with this would be appreciated, as I have read several forums and threads, and despite trying several different approaches I have been unable to address the problem, which appears to be exacerbated by the laptop being remote from the NAS drive.angelofromnsw wrote:
Can I put the ".itl" and other database files on the NAS, and if so where would I put them? I'm thinking that if the library file is only available at home then the ITunes library won't get corrupted at work when it can't find the media, in the event that I accidentally start up itunes eg. while opening an attachment or disc that can be read by Itunes.
iTunes will start up and you will have an empty library.
Can I put the ".itl" and other database files on the NAS, and if so where would I put them?
Yes.
Quit iTunes.
Copy the /Music/iTunes/ folder on the NAS.
Move the /iTunes media/ folder currently on the NAS into the /iTunes/ folder you just copied to the NAS.
Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the NAS.
You can delete /Music/iTunes/ folder on the internal drive.
If you launch iTunes while NOT comnnected to the NAS, iTunes will recreate the /Music/iTunes/ folder and you will have an empty library.
WHen you are again connected to the NAS, just do step 4 above.
Do you know what the advantages and disadvantages are of having the database files like the ".itl" files stored locally versus on the NAS?
Keeping everyhing together inside the iTunes folder makes it "cleaner" and simpler to manage everything. -
Making Adobe 7.0.5 the default for .pdf files
I was advised that the way to get Adobe 7.0.5 to be the default, instead of 5.0, was to delete the Adobe applications & files in my system, library, and user folders, including the 7.0.5 app. itself. Then, after everything relating to Adobe is gone, I should re-install 7.0.5 and it would become the default.
I also heard that Spotlight won't find every Adobe component or extention, so I'd have to do a detailed search and delete each one that way.
Does this sound right?
Can't I just delete the 5.0 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and have everthing associated with 5.0 gone? Isn't that the beauty of having a Mac?
Thanks,
Greg
PowerBook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.2) 1.5 GHz, 1.5 GB RAMHi Greg
You were poorly advised. Deleting Adobe apps is a headache and completely irrelevant when it comes to making an app the default for a file type.
Control-click a .pdf file, choose Get Info. In the Info window click the Open With drop down list, choose the app you want, and then click Change All underneath it.
That should do it. You might find that there is more than one type of .pdf file and you might need to perform this action again at some time, but this should do the job.
And yes, you can just delete the Acrobat Reader 5.0 folder.

Changing the default opener in Bridge
My Bridge has decided to change the default opener from Photoshop CS4 to either Quicktime , Paint or Dreamweaver.
So now I cannot preview a picture in Bridge and then open it in Photoshop
Can anyone tell me how to change the default back to Photoshop.I feel like we are not having the same discussion as I am repeating myself. Either I am misinterpreting your problem, or you are misinterpreting the suggestions.
Have you opened Windows Explorer and click one Tools? Should be a tab that says File Type. Look what the default "opens with" setting is for jpeg files. You want it to be CS4. Bridge is not a separate program, but subprogram of photoshop.
Also, did you go to Bridge and click on edit/preferences/file type associations? Is CS4 shown there a program for jpeg? -
Unable to open acsm files in ADE. "Error! Check activation." Any idea?
Unable to open acsm files in ADE (e-books I have recently bought and borrowed, too). I get the message "Error! Check activation." The ADE programme is authorized on both PCs in use. Any idea?
Try de-authorizing and then re-authorize the computer.
Please make sure that you remember the user-id/password correctly. -
How does firefox create the default mimetypes.rdf file?
Hi, I am trying to update the default mimetypes.rdf file to add a list of new file types and the associated program to launch with but am struggling to find where/how the default mimetypes.rdf file is created.
The Omni.ja file within 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox' has a version of the file but it is blank, what populates this file?
I have tried replacing this file with the version we need to use, delete the Mozilla directory from my local profile and re-launch Firefox, but the newly generated mimetypes.rdf file is still the old version.
I am using Firefox version 10.0.6Hi,
I am in the same situation than you but I forced firefox to take my own file if I remove it from my profile.
What i did:
1 Create my own custom mimetypes.rdf file. Firefox Interface - Options - Options - Applications...
2 Copy mimetypes.rdf in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\Defaults\profile
So, if I remove the mimetypes.rdf file from my profile it takes from default location fine. However deleting the profile, opening firefox again it doesn´t use my own mymtypes.rdf file in the new profile, insteant it creates the "default installation" one.
On the other hand, I tried to set pdfjs.disabled = true from about:config, however although it sets the default PDF app "Adobe Acrobat", it doesn´t work. It doesn´t open any pdf file.
I am thinking to create an advertised shortcut in order to replace the mimetype.rdf when the user starts firefox (I distribute the firefox settings in a MSI) depending of the date of the file but it will take a few seconds each time the user run firefox. I really don´t like it...
Sorry for don´t help too much...
If anyone could post how firefox create mimetypes.rdf in new profiles... -
Changing the default open folder
Does anyone know how I can change the default open folder in Illustrator? It keeps going to the Documents folder when I try to open a file and I'd like to change it to another folder.

Illy defaults to / recognises the *last* opened folder unless that's been shifted or some kind of housekeeping (such as clear all history) has been undertaken. In which case, and on first opening, it will open the default folder which will be 'My Documents' . -
I've just upgraded to ADE 2.0 and can no longer open .acsm files. I've tried to associate ADE 2.0 to .acsm files via Windows 7 control panel and 'open with' but when I click ok, nothing happens - no error message but no acceptance of the association
E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED could mean that a library loan has expired.
It can also happen if you get times or times-zones wrong.
There are quite a few bugs introduced in V2.0 that were not there in v1.7.2.
If you don't need the new features of V2.0, you might find an install of 1.7.2.
You can have both installed at once.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

how do i open acsm file on my windows pc? i downloaded adobe digital edition, but it says error, check valuation?
thanks in advanceI'm wondering if that is similar to the issue I've encountered before, where the file association for acsm is not to ADE but a certificate file. If you could try right clicking on the acsm and 'open with' and search for ADE and make sure 'always open with this' is check marked, that may, I repeat may, help.
If you've already done this, I don't know what to say, that's just what I've seen. -
How do I tell Adobe reader to open a file instead of being prompted to save the file?
how do I tell Adobe reader to open a file instead of being prompted to save the file?
Go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" into the filter field. Select the action that you want to associate with PDF files.
In your case select one of the "Use Adobe Acrobat" actions.
