My default applications keep resetting

For a little while now (but crucially not since I first purchased my MacBook) my default application settings are resetting themselves. I use Adobe for PDFs, Adium for chat and BonEcho (Intel Mac Firefox build) for the web, but I am constantly being asked if I want to set these applications as default when I start them up.
Does anyone know why my system isn't retaining my default application change? More importantly, can anyone think of a way I could fix this once and for all?
I'm reluctant to delete Safari, iChat and Preview as a fix, so if this could be avoided, then all the better.

Mail/Browser applications keep reseting to Default Apps

Gents,
After restarting my computer, the mail/internet browser/pdf viewer applications keep reseting themselves to the default applications:
Entourage goes back to Mail
Firefox goes back to Safari
Acrobat goes back to Preview
Why is this happening? it all started after I installed Acrobat Reader 8.0
ANY HELP IS DEARLY APPRECIATED
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
For default PDF settings; You can use Preview to view several types of image files, including JPG, GIF, TIF, PSD, PICT, PNG, BMP, and SGI. You can rotate, resize, and crop images, and you can convert them to different file types.
You can also use Preview to view and search Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
Preview is also used to preview documents before you print them. In another application, choose File > Print and click Preview. Preview opens with an image showing what the printed document will look like.
You can choose to open all PDF documents in Preview. In the Finder, select a PDF document, choose File > Get Info, click "Open with," choose Preview from the pop-up menu, and click Change All.
To learn more about using Preview, open Preview and choose Help > Preview Help.
For default browser and e-mail:
Setting your preferred Internet applications
You can choose which application opens when you click an Internet address link in a document (such as an email message), open a Web Internet Location file in the Finder, or click an email address on a webpage.
For example, you can make Safari your default web browser and Mail your default email application.
To set Safari and Mail as your default Internet applications:
Open Safari, then choose Safari > Preferences. Click the General icon, and then choose Safari from the Default Web Browser pop-up menu.
Open Mail, then choose Mail > Preferences. Click the General icon, and then choose Mail from the Default Email Reader.
Learn how to change the default Mac OS X email and Web browser applications with Mail and Safari, in Mac OS X 10.3 or later.
Note: If you are accustomed to using Internet preferences in earlier versions of Mac OS X, note that Internet preferences is not included with Mac OS X 10.3 or later. In Mac OS X 10.3 or later, use Mail and Safari to change your default applications.
Choosing an email application other than Mail
1.
2. Open Mail (/Applications/Mail).
3. From the Mail menu, choose Preferences.
4. Click the General button.
5. Choose your desired default email application from the Default Email Reader pop-up menu.
Note: You may need to set up the email application with your email account information. This information is not automatically exported from Mail.
Choosing a default Web browser other than Safari
1. Open Safari (/Applications).
2. From the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
3. Click the General button.
4. Choose a different browser from the Default Web Browser pop-up menu.
Safari and Mail shouldn't be deleted  After changing your default application, you should not delete Safari or Mail, even if you do not plan to use them. You will need them if you wish to change your default settings in the future.
Hope this helps...

Applications keep resetting?

Hi,
I am having a problem with my applications resetting and can't seem to figure out or find how to fix it.
I have two users on my computer, me and my husband. My husband doesn't have this problem when logged onto his side. When I log into my side applications such as firefox, itunes etc show that I have just installed or updated to the latest version. So I go through the welcome stuff and close it as you always do when applications are reinstalled/updated. But then when I close the applications and reopen them I have to go through the same thing every time. In Safari I downloaded a picture a while ago and it shows on my downloads bar...I keep clearing this and it keeps showing up again. It seems that my applications are resetting every time I close them/log off/shut down. If anybody has any solutions/suggestions that would be great because this is a huge hassle,
Thanks

As a test create a new user account. Log into this new account and see if the problem stops. Also, do you have any of your applications installed outside of the Applications folder and/or installed using drag and drop rather than an installer? In the case of using drag and drop the application takes on the permissions of the user who installed it rather than the correct permissions for the Applications folder. FireFox is an example. You can try selecting the FireFox icon then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Ownership and Sharing section FireFox will not have the default permissions which are:
Owner=system with r/w privileges
Group=admin with r/w privileges
Everyone with read-only privileges
I'm curious to know what you actually find.

Windows 8.1 (running in VMware Fusion 6) keeps resetting my default program associations after rebooting

I tried to set Google Chrome as my default browser in Windows 8.1 (virtual machine running in VMware Fusion 6) but somehow mysteriously failed over and over again.
According to Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, there are 19 possible associations for Google Chrome:
Extensions: .htm, .html, .shtml, .webp, .xht, .xhtml;
Protocols: FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, IRC, MAILTO, MMS, NEWS, NNTP, SMS, SMS, SMSTO, TEL, URN, WEBCAL
I have no problem selecting some of them, or "set this program as default" so that "this program has all its defaults." (I am the only admin user, but not the builtin admin account.)
However, after restarting the VM, the program associations for Google Chrome will reset on its own. Specifically,
"this program has all its defaults" becomes "this program has 14 out of 19 defaults", losing the following five crucial protocols:
FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, MAILTO, NEWS
And these protocols simply hang there unassociated—they don't belong to IE either.
So I am extremely confused; how could the system reset my default program associations? What's wrong?
In case it is relevant, I will also post my VMware Fusion VM Default Applications settings here. All of the options are unchecked: "Open your Mac files and links using Windows applications"; "Open your Windows files and links using Mac applications";
"Run Windows applications from your Mac's Applications folder."
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
I have the same issue, and I've posted on the vmware forums with no responses other than another person having the same issue.
Have you been able to fix this? I tried importing the same VM into Parallels and the problem goes away. If I do a manual uninstall of Fusion (and remove VMWare tools from the VM), and then reinstall both, the problem goes away - temporarily. I had a few
good months, and it started again. Followed the procedure mentioned, and it went away again, but only survived a few reboots.
FYI, it's definitely not an issue with Chrome, as I'm having the same issue with Firefox (although I can duplicate on chrome as well).
Have you figured anything out?
Thanks!

Power Options Settings keep resetting back to default and system goes to sleep.

Hi I have Windows Server 2012 Standard R2 installed on one of my servers, in which there is an issue with the power settings. In power options it keeps selecting the Balanced plan by default. Even if I manually change the power plan it still keeps resetting
back to the default Balanced plan which in turn puts the System to sleep after 4 hours. Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this issue. I have even tried using powercfg -SETACTIVE from command prompt by giving the appropriate Power Scheme
GUID. But it didn't work either. Anyone please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.

Again, this is something outside the bounds of Windows Server. Windows Server does not do that. I looked at default installations of both physical and virtual servers and there is nothing there to cause a sleep or power off.
In fact, the only real power setting I see in the Balanced power plan is to turn off the display after x amount of time.
Do you have power savings enabled on your NIC card? Is there some setting in VMware?

Resetting default application to "Pages"

When I open a downloaded document (usually originally a Windows document), and click on it, somehow it is always opened in "Open Office" a slow and cumbersome word processing app that translates MS documents and spreadsheets well but is too sophisticated most of the time, so I only want to use it in rare cases when all else fails.
Instead, I want "Pages" to be my automatic default app for such things. How do I reset default applications, in this case to "Pages"?
PP

Select it in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, click on Open With, and change it.

Iphone 6 plus keyboard keeps resetting to default.

my iPhone 6 plus keyboard keeps resetting to the default keyboard after I have changed it. It will stay changed for a little while but then it will reset automatically on its own. How do I lock it so that it doesn't change back to the original?

Hi Vitalicboi,
If you are having keyboard issues in iOS 8, you may want to make sure you have updated to the most recent maintenance update which was just released, then test to see if the issue persists:
iOS 8.0.2

Resetting Default Applications

Just got a new Quad. While I was setting up Tiger, I mistakenly told OSX to use Microsoft Word as the default application to handle .sit files. Of course, I meant to use Stuffit Expander. Does anyone know how to change this?

I just found the answer to my own question. If anyone else is having similar issues, go here (http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/), download this (RCDefaultApp), and all your problems will be solved.

I book G4 Keeps resetting itself. HELP!

HI!
My IBook G4 keeps resetting it self. I have not changed a folder name or anything. When i turn the computer off and turn it back on, it is all back to the "default" settings. I have to start each application new. Like mail. in the last hour I started "mail" 4 times and had to put all my information back in. I-tunes has to restart, but my music is still there, after it gets imported.\
Now my keychain is going crazy, too. My Safari lost my bookmarks, everything.
I can't afford to loos everything, so please help me. I looked up in the help topics, but all my folders seem to be Ok.
Thanks.

...if the hard drive was erased the install discs are the only way to resolve this that I am aware of.
As an alternative, you can buy a copy of the operating system and the iLife product, which is most of what was on the original install disks that didn't come with your system. One source for unopened Apple software is hardcoremac.com.
However, it sounds like you can log onto the system, yes? On the menu bar, towards the apple on the left, it says File. If you click on that can you also click on "new finder window"? If yes, what does it show you?

Finder cannot open HOME folder - "There is no default application specified

HELP! Starting this morning, after a reboot, Finder will not open my home folder. If I open a Finder window and try to open "jen" which is my wife's home folder (and what we're logged in as) Finder says "There is no default application specified to open the document Jen". If I go to this folder through Macintosh HD->Users->Jen I get the same message.
If I click on this folder in the Finder window it doesn't show an arrow indicating that it is a directory and under the "Preview" pane, it shows the house icon, but says the "Kind" is a "Package" (??).
HOWEVER, everything else still works. The desktop is populated. All the applicatiosn like Itunes and Iphoto find the photos and songs.
If I go into Utilities->Terminal and use the bash shell I can see that the /Users/jen folder IS intact and all of the files are there.
Is this some type of Finder damage?
Ideas on how to fix?? I'm a Windows and Linux expert, but pretty new to Mac, so I'm perplexed.
I thought maybe a permissions issue, and I tried the disk utility->Repair disk permissions and that didn't help.
This is what the "jen" folder shows for permissions and attributes in the bash shell:
cd /Users
ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 28 jen jen 952 Dec 21 09:38 jen
I MIGHT have injected this problem, because I was having a problem where I could not see volumes on the desktop when I double clicked a DMG file (it worked before), and I was playing around with a few DMG images, and I tried one on the Apple website called dragster which said it changed Finder and then I uninstalled it. I think the problem started after this.
I THINK everything else is fine, from what I can see.
Help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Greg

For those who may hit this problem in the future, I figured what my solution was, and called Apple support and they confirmed it was my best option. To fix it:
1. In NetInfo Manager, enable root access.
2. Log off.
3. Login as root userid with the root password (make sure you set one in NetInfo Manager)
4. As root, copy the folder, which Finder thinks is a 'package' to a backup drive or if no backup drive then some other location outside of /Users.
NOTE: I found if I clicked on the Users/<userid> folder once to highlight it in Finder, then under the gear icon chose "Open Package Contents" it would launch a finder window and show you all of the files in the users folder - that way you could grab them and copy them over if you wanted to do it that way, but dragging the 'package' over works fine too. One other option, in the bash shell IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE:
cp -R /Users/<userid> <backupdrive>/<backupfolder>
5. Once you are sure you've backed up the damaged users folder, go into System Preferences -> Accounts. Delete the damaged users userid. When it prompts you if you want to delete immediately, you should probably not click that but instead click the button to create a backup image of the users home folder. This will create an image in /home/Delete_users/<userid>.dmg that is a another backup of the users data. Then the /Users/<userid> data is deleted and the account is gone.
6. Recreate the user account, setup the same settings as you used before.
7. Copy the data from the backup drive/folder to the new /Users/<userid> folder. You don't have to copy all of the data back, just the users settings and personal files. You can find info on what is users personal folders vs control folders elsewhere. I guess if in doubt copy it all back over.
8. Next, you need to give the userid permission to their files since they will be set to be owned as root since root copied them out and back in.
In Applications->Utilities->Terminal
chown -R <userid>:<userid> /Users/<userid>
So I did:
chown -R jen:jen /Users/jen
That sets jen to be owner of all files and folders under /Users/jen
9. Logoff as root.
10. Login as the once damaged userid. It should work, all settings should still be intact, and you should have a normal 'home' folder you can get into through Finder.
11. Go into NetInfo manager and under the 'Security' menu 'Disable root access' to disable the root userid again.
12. Keep your backup of your home folder for a while until your comfortable everything has been restored.
There MIGHT be an easier way to reset this, maybe with some AppleScript, but I don't know it.
There you go.

Session keep resetting

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with the HTTPsession variable that keeps resetting (the id changes)
I have a java application written in jsf 1.2 using beans, on jdeveloper that stores variables on the session and works correctly.
Now, I tried to integrate this application with UCM Content server to make the pages dynamic, i built a new section and a new region template and placeholder for each page in the application and i used the same page template for all pages, each region template has a <c:import tag> to the corresponding jsf page.
The problem is, that each page refresh now goes through the page template, the region template and finally the jsf page (and not just the jsf page like before) and this causes session reset, which makes it impossible to store attributes in the session.
I tried setting the beans (on faces-config.xml) to request scope and to session scope, but the issue remains.
I tried changing the session persistence store in weblogic.xml file from MEMORY to FILE and to COOKIE and still ..
I also tried to add the parameter "-Dweblogic.servlet.useExtendedSessionFormat=true" to server run but with no help.
Any thoughts or suggestions ?
Thanks,
Moran

My Applications keep Freezing - Brand New Mid-2010 iMac. Please Help

Hello - I am extremely frustrated because I just received my brand new iMac in the mail (27" i7 2.93GHZ / 2 TB HD / 4GB 2x2 SDRAM) and my applications keep freezing.
Let me give an example -
I keep trying to open iPhoto so that I can import and export photos from my other Mac and my iPhone. Just about any time I do any big upload, the whole iPhoto freezes on me and I have to force quit.
Another example (the one that is bugging me most right now): I am trying to paste 3 pages of text into a word document in Microsoft Word, and every time I attempt to do this, Word freezes.
I understand these are both rather minor in the grand scheme of things, but I just got this fricken thing and I'm hoping I can take some measure to avoid my applications freezing... Do I not have enough memory for running these simple day-to-day tasks? I was thinking about buying 2x 4GB OWC memory to make my computer 12GB instead of 4GB. Please help - I'd love to hear any opinions. Should I take it in? Or is it a simple fix? Even when I first booted my computer there was lag getting the introduction information to load.

Dang...
I was hopeful that this would have solved the problem. Unfortunately, it must be a software problem of some sort. I reset my PRAM(?) and did the disk utility cleanup or whatever it is called. I do appreciate you giving your 2 cents. Does anybody else have any ideas? Microsoft Office is still freezing up when I try to paste something from the internet -- Oddly enough, it isn't happening when I'm posting text from some websites, but is from others. The firewall is turned off, so I don't think its a security issue. Please help! I need some way to put my academic transcript in a word file so that I can email it for reference, so this is kind of urgent! Thank you.
Should I try a software update?

User Settings keep resetting

I have an I-Mac. I keep using the get Info to set my preferance for opening photos and other items. I find that the computer keeps resetting them to the default settings. For example I want my .jpeg files to open with Adobe Photoshop but they keep resetting to preview. I want certain items to open in Firefox but it keeps resetting to Safari. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are doing nothing wrong. It sounds like LaunchServices is confused.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

TextEdit is the default application for my Numbers documents

Although I did not set it to be, TextEdit is the default application for my Numbers documents. It was not always this way, but it is now, and I can't seem to change the default application back to Numbers ('09). For example, when I double-click any .numbers document, I always get the following error message:
The document “xxxxx.numbers” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format.
See: http://screencast.com/t/P5OSAJAq
Therefore, whenever I want to open a.numbers document, I must drag it to the Numbers application icon or right-click and select “open with” and select Numbers from the list of applications. Although this works fine, it creates a couple of extra steps that I would prefer not to do
My first inclination was to “Get info” and change the “open with” back to Numbers for all .numbers documents.

However, selecting Numbers as the default application will not persist after clicking “change all.” Rather, it reverts back to TextEdit. Tony, this is the only way I know how to select the default application for a document type.
Is there another location where I can set/reset the default application?
Thanks!

I guess that there is at least one database used by the Operating System which is corrupted.
Run a maintenance application : MAINTENANCE is a free very good one available thru :
www.titanium.free.fr/
and ask it to repair permissions,
delete caches
repair database Launch Services.

To be the AW6 successor, iWork MUST integrate a TRUE DB, not a list organizer !
