Making Quicktime Player the default

After downloading a program SongSurgeon, it has now the default program instead of my Quicktime Player. I thought it would be easy to change the default but after a long search, was unsuccessful. How do I change the default back to the Quicktime Player?

The browser plug-in called would be that that is called in the html page code.
If no page code is used (direct link to the .wav file) then the MIME Settings would be read and the associated plug-in would play the file.
"Special" html code can be used (qtsrc="blah.mp3") that will "force" the QuickTime browser plug-in be used even if the file would normally be associated with a different one.
In order to fully understand your problem we would need a URL to test.

Making Windows Media Player the default instead of iTunes

I posted this eslewhere but thought I should perhaps start a new topic - I want to make Windows Media Player the default player for WMV and WMA files instead of iTunes. How can I do this?
Thanks

Select a .wmv file in the Finder.
Get Info (command-I).
Expand 'Open with' by clicking on the little triangle.
Choose 'Windows Media Player' from the list of applications.
Click 'Change All...'.
All .wmv files will now open in Windows Media Player when double-clicked.
Repeat the same process with a .wma file.
Hope this helps.

Stop quicktime player as default to view youtube video

Hi,
My Mac recently updated and whenever I open the video from youtube, the quicktime player will automaticly run the video and say the file not found.
How to unselect quicktime player as default to view youtube video?
Thanks
Trang

If you are opening a Youtube video from your desktop do the following:
Highlight your file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the application you want to open the file with.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”
==========================
Short cut:
Control mouse click (right mouse click if available), Open With...-> Other
Pick an app you want to open the video, and make sure to check Always Open With before hitting Open.
Thanks to a brody for the above short cut.

If you are viewing the video on YouTube's site, then the changes can be done through your browser Preferences to select a default video viewer. However, you have not mentioned which browser you are using to view videos.

How can I make the Windows Media player the default player for my browser.

I cannot listen to radio station WYSL 1040 AM on the web. They say that the default player on my browser must be the Windows Media player. How do I comply with their demand?

In Firefox it is the MIME type that determines which player is selected.
Install the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll), you only have the classic WMP plugin (Npdsplay dll)

Making an application the default program to open certain files

Hello,
I have a stupid question that has been bugging me for a long time.
I have installed parallels to use windows and when i used its office excel, it prompted me if I want to open the files with window's excel; which I did. Then now everytime I open an excel file on my mac HD, it starts parallels to launch its excel to open. I tried the option of open with "other" and select my mac's excel but this only applies on the particular file. I uninstalled parallels to avoid this problem and it still tries to locate parallel's excel which no longer exists.
So I have everytime to select the file and use the open with option which is very unpractical.
This applies for any other application so is there an effective way to change the "default" application that opens certain files? There must be a way to do that!!!!
Please help.

Hi Carol,
Do the following:
1. Click once on any Excel file.
2. From the menubar select File->Get Info
3. In the "Open with" section click on the drop down menu and select the Microsoft Excel, ensuring it's the Apple Mac version that's located in your Applications folder. If it's not listed, select "other" and then navigate to the application.
4. Click on the "Change All" button and confirm.
That's it. Everytime you double click on that file type, it will open in the Application of your choice.

[AS] Making "keep overrides" the default graphic layer option for all placed graphics?

If I relink thisLink when it is missing, and update link option was set to keep overrides, everything is fine. But if it was set to application settings, I am in a world of hurt, because suddenly all my Unit numbers will show 1-32 piled on top of each other (all layers visible in Photoshop) or the wrong one (just one layer visible in Photoshop) or nothing at all!
The catch-22 is that until I relink missing links, update link option only shows "unknown" as the result. Arrrgh?
set myLinks to every link whose status = missing
repeat with thisLink in myLinks
    get update link option of graphic layer options of parent of thisLink
        -->Returns "unknown" instead of "application settings" or "keep overrides"
    try
        set update link option of graphic layer options of parent of thisLink to "keep overrides"
        relink thisLink to newLinkPath
        update thisLink
    on error
        -->This always errors on the set update link option line
    end try
end repeat
Anyone know a way around this or should I just change my name to Yossarian?
Thanks in advance,
Eric.

Well, I give you points for creativity! Unfortunately, relink is destructive and overwrites any info with the default (which in CS2 is application settings).
What really kills me is that InDesign has some Sooper Seekrit internal list that only the Links palette knows about. So if you *manually* try and relink the document and then revert it, it automatically relinks against all the paths you've tried since launching it and therefore, the second time all the links show as linked and the process is non-destructive, unlike the "relink" command.
Argh.
I will think on it some more though. Thanks for your input!
PS: Adobe apparently broke the ability to relink against a string in CS4 from what I can tell. In spite of the fact that the dictionary specifically lists alias or string or string (yes, says or string twice in the dictionary), only alias really seem to work.
So...
set newLinkFolder to "" & path to home folder & "Pictures:"
set newLinkPath to newLinkFolder & name of thisLink
try
relink thisLink to newLinkPath
on error
display dialog "FAIL!"
end try
try
relink thisLink to newLinkPath as alias
on error
display dialog "No fail. You'll never see this message!"
end try

Making Adobe CMM the Default In WinXP

I'd like to make the Adobe CMM the default color engine for WinXP apps. I have installed it and can see the Adobe CMM in the Windoze Color Control applet, but cannot figure out how to make it the default. I've Googled the net and searched the Micro$oft website to no avail. Can this be done? How?
Thanks much!

Hello Sid,
unfortunately this is not possible.
Theoretically, it is possible to use an alternate CMM as the default CMM
in Windows by editing the Registry for example.
But the alternate CMM must have implemented all functions Microsoft
expects, and the Adobe CMM hasn't. (To be fair, the functions not
implemented are used very rare, and play no role in "everyday" colormanagement
done in apps like Photoshop)

Making buttonMode=true the default

Is there a way to set buttonMode=true to the default across all components in my application? It is so lame to have to enable it manually for every single component.
Just to be clear: I want the cursor to turn into a hand whenever it goes over something that can be clicked. By default, it appears this is not the case. I have to set buttonMode="true" on everything.

I can't think of a way to do that. You could add a handler for Event.ADDED
and set it on all Sprites you care about when they are added to the display
list.

Making Apple Mail the default mail program

thank you in advance for help on this question. When in Address Book, I click on the email address of a contact and it launches Entourage as the default mail application to send the message. I would like to change settings so the Apple Mail is the default mail app for this and all other email tasks. Can you help?

The following comment applies to those who are switching to Mail from another email client.
In Eudora there is also a preference to set Eudora as your default emailer. In other words, not only do you need to change that pref in Mail (to "use Mail as the default emailer"), but you have to go to Eudora and change its pref to say "use [Apple] Mail as the default mailer". Otherwise you get battling email programs and unpredictable results when clicking on mailto links in other programs.
I don't remember if the same applies to Entourage or other mail clients.

Undo-ing Quicktime as the default movie setting

I uploaded a short video from my camera to my Vista pc - and it came as an .MOV file so I had to download Quicktime to play it back. I did that ok, but to my dismay I must have selected QT as default because now ALL my previous movies are showing as Quicktime linked and I can't seem to change it.
I did want to upload one onto YouTube and it says it doesn't support .MOV so question 1 is how do I get around that?
Ideally though I would like to revert out of QT back into windows media player - and I have searched this and other sites for help but no question seems to address this specifically. For example, I have tried to find the file description and change from .MOV to .AVI for example, when I look at file preferences it doesn't show me /seem to allow me to just change the ending. I've also tried to run some of these old files in windows instead but then I just see the moving picture but audio is a crackle!
How do I get out of QT? / NOT have QT as default?! How do I reset everything? How do I upload my movie toYouTube?
Please Help!!!

Open the QuickTime control panel click on the File Types tab and uncheck what you don't want QT to handle. You can also click on the Browser tab while in there to Mime Settings

How to make Adobe Flash Player the default player for .flv, .f4v files?

I have currently installed from Adobe the following applications:
Adobe Bridge CS6 (64bit)
Adobe Bridge CS6
Adobe Dreamweaver CS6
Adobe Encore CS6
Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS6
Adobe Extension Manager CS6
Adobe Fireworks CS6
Adobe Flash Professional CS6
Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64bit)
Adobe InDesign CS6
Adobe Media Encoder CS6
Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64bit)
Adobe Prelude CS6
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Adobe SpeedGrade CS6
Adobe Flash Builder is not installed.
Adobe Premiere After Effects is not installed.
I've just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 13, but .flv files and .f4v files are not played by Adobe Flash Player. I've tried to make it default player but i didn't release which file .exe to browse for (by right-clicking and choosing Open with > Choose default program...).

There's a Flash Player Projector (standalone) in the Flash Professional CS6/Players folder, but it's usually outdated.
When browsing to an app to use from the Properties window, go there, but... download this one: Windows Flash Player 13 Projector and replace the Flash Player that's in that folder.
If you're looking to test Flash files you've authored, then you'll need the Projector, but if you're just looking for a good player for FLV and F4V, then you should use VLC Media Player. http://www.videolan.org/

Making Adobe as the default PDf reader

How can I make Adobe as a default pdf reader for windows phone 8?
Where does the Adobe reader store local files in wp8? Can I know its path in windows phone 8?

Maybe starting Acrobat 9 (NOT Distiller 9: this is an extra component
of Acrobat, and not involved in opening PDFs) will help. But overall,
mixing releases and Acrobat/Reader on the same computer isn't
recommended for this sort of reason.

Making mac mail the default instead of entourage

How do you make mac mail your default instead of entourage . It is set up in mac mail reader to receive mail under mac mail 2.1. It still defaults to entourage . I cannot find any place in entourage to change it .

Your default mail program is set in Mail->Preferences->General. Choose which program you want from the drop-down menu, then quit Mail and restart it.
Of course, you'd be helping yourself if you deleted Entourage or at least removed all your account information from it, so that if you ever launched it by accident, it would not be able to send or receive email.
