Mailed docs only open in Pages

I just switched to a new Mac Book Pro, v.10.6.2. All docs sent to me are opening in Pages. I want them to open in whichever program they were created. I've read the discussion boards, which suggest that I need to individually change each doc as I open it. That's ridiculous. Is there a setting I can make so that they open correctly?

If the files in question don't have an extension, there's really no way for your Mac to know what it's supposed to open it with after it's been transmitted via e-mail. Make sure all the files have appropriate extensions. If they do, and they're still opening with an inappropriate app, select one such file in the Finder, choose File -> Get Info, change the app in the Open With section and then click the Change All button.

    Well, I rebuilt the entire workbook... that was a few months ago and so far, the problem hasn't resurfaced. It really wasn't fun to do, but whatever glitch there was in the file, I eliminated it.
    I think I should mention that I am using Office v.X, NOT Office 2004. I got a new Intel iMac this week and yesterday when I opened up my files, it opened up the test drive (a JOKE of a program if you ask me) Anyway, some of the very minor issues I had with Office v.X were solved in the 2004 version. (When opening up large multi worksheet files without Excel being already opened, the tabs have white text) Anyway, I am still going to wait for the universal version to come out, but it seems that the newer versions may have fewer glitches (as is to be expected)
    At any rate, best of luck to you!

    Hello Susan.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

    Try force closing the Camera app, followed by resetting your phone.  Double=tap the home button, locate Camera in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button.  Now reset your phone by holding the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • 9i on RedHat 7.1 was successful but i can only open html pages.

    If i take a blank page (index.html) and rename it to (index.jsp) I cannot open the index.jsp. Permissions are all correct and Im not sure that the problem is. Might be a problem with Jserv but I have no idea
    THanks in advance

    I guess i should have added that i can only open the html pages from a browser. I cannot open .jsp pages from a browser

  • Signature in Mail does not open and page gets frozen?

    Signature in Mail doesn't open and whenever I try to open it, the page gets frozen disallowing any movement. Re-setting has been done several times but withou success. I have iPad 2 with iOS 7 (updated).  I want to avoid Restoring the iPad as in this case I suspect all my data wiii get lost. Thanks for helping.

    What signature in mail are you talking about? If you use the built in signatures in the settings, then I assume that you can't send mail at all if the page freezes every time that you try to write an email. When you tap the new email icon, and the window pop up, your signature is already at the bottom of the email screen.
    So then you are saying that you cannot send emails correct? And you can restore an iPad without losing a thing, of you do it properly. I have restored several devices a few time and I never lost anything.

  • Apple Mail Preferences Only Opens Rules

    Can someone help me please. When I go down to preference in apple mail, the only thing that opens now is the "rule" box. I can't get the full preferences that have accounts, general fonts, etc.
    Thank You

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    You apparently have hidden the Toolbar for the Preferences window. Click on the small white, pill-shaped button at the top right of the Preferences window, and the Toolbar should return to view. Alternatively you can click on View in the Menu bar, when the Preferences window is open, and choose Show Toolbar.

  • Mac Mail can only open single email

    Hi there - new to Mac. Using MacBook Pro, 10.9.4
    Without (knowingly) modifying configs, Mac Mail now only allows me to display a single email at a time. The very top of the email also no longer contains the menu bar with buttons to expand, minimize, close (below).
    When I open an email or select compose, the email enters the screen from the bottom.
    Below is a shot of what an email looks like. Tx !

    Hello gratefulcreative,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand the different issues you are seeing in Mail and thank you for including a screenshot. From the picture, it appears that Mail is in full-screen view. To change back to the non full screen view that will include the menu bar with buttons as you described in your post, please follow the instructions in the attached article.

  • Pages only opens first page

    My Pages app on my iPhone 5s only opens the first page of my multi-page documents... any thoughts?

    I now have the latest versions of Pages (5.2) on my Macbook Pro, and still no help in opening more than the first page of a two-column multi-page document.  I appreciate the iWork team contacting me via email for more information, but this was pretty embarrassing today as I tried and failed to open a script we've been working on with my client at a meeting without success.
    Pages has significant potential, and I'm looking forward to the time when I won't need Word installed on my gear. 

  • How To?  Default all Word Docs to Open In Pages?

    If I right click on a doc, I can select to always open THAT doc in Pages - but - is there a way I can set the system to open ALL Word docs in Pages. I want Word to be a last resort only.
    Thanks!
    Mark

    mctheriot,
    Yes, there is. Type cmd-I (Get Info), select Pages from the list (or navigate to it), then click the Change All button. That's all there is to it.

  • Why can't I find a way to make my mail acct. only open with a password?

    I want to make it so when I click on my Mail icon on the dock it prompts to type in a password rather than just having the mailbox pop open with all my mail there to read. This has got to be simple??

    OS X is a multi-user operating system. Every user can have their own account that only they can access. If you want to keep your email private simply create another user account for others to use. Keep your own account private. But to answer your question directly, no, there is no option to require a password when opening the Mail application when other people are using your account.

  • Batch process cwk docs to open in pages?

    Hello, asking I hope a simple question: does anyone know how or have a script to ask Mac OS 4.11 to open .cwk documents into Pages '09 as a batch processing action?  I need a bunch of files from a workshop my sister did many years ago (still on her G3 iMac running Panther I think) - they are sooo old they are from Appleworks.  It would be great if there was a fast way to open AND save them at once. We have set her computer to open all cwk docs in Pages '09 but that is as far as our expertise extends. BTW, she can also transfer and open them on her new MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 - we just started with Tiger since it was closer in age to the G3.
    Thanks

  • Safari 8.0.2 updated on the 20Jan2015 and Link from Mail do not open | Advertisement pages opens | Blank page do not open on new window click, etc

    Hi! 
    Safari 8.0.2 was last updated on the 20Jan2015 and is my default browser. 
    Below listed are issues with Safari after last two updates.
    When I click web link from mail, Safari does not open that link. I changed to Chrome browsing & it works.
    When I click to open new window from the dock, I get last browsing page of the previous opened window web page, where by my setting is for a bank page for a new safari window. .
    Every time I click on the link to open in the same browsing web page, a new tab opens with advertisement web page. How can I stop advertisement pages to open automatically.  
    Safari does not open first time by one finger single click on the safari icon from dock, need two finger click and then select the preferences.
    Thanks, will await your assistance & if required updated version at the soonest.
