New computer ff install not listing all file types under tools-options-applications

New windows installation on another with the same version of ff (10.0.2). Clicking local .pls files in this machine gives option to launch VLC media player but on other computer just text appears.
The extension appears in the applications tab after clicking tools and options on this computer, but the list is far shorter on the other machine and does not include this extension. Is this rectified by installing a plugin? If so which one?

The issue isn't that VLC isn't playing the files- it is... but linking to the files saved on my system does not launch VLC from Firefox on the other computer like it does on this one. I've actually been able to add to the applications list. Technically I can run the same apps and associations on both machines except that Firefox isn't handling the ".pls" files at all with the other machine
I've saved a directory structure with .pls files to different streaming radio stations and the directory is linked to from Firefox on both computers... identical directories and files stored. When I bring up one of the folders in this machine and click on the file, I first get the same dialog as you attached- I launch VLC by selecting "Open with" then clicking OK. The radio station plays. I've set it to change stations when I click within the iframe without having to go to VLC and use the open media feature- it does the trick with a single click from Firefox,
The other machine when I click the file the iframe in which the directory was displayed shows text information (urls and other arcane digital nonsense) as though the file were a text file. Both machines have similar installations.... I do not want to overload on the other machine- it's my communications backup but I would like this arrangement to work as it does on this computer.
Again, the biggest hint I see is the absence of the ".pls" file type in the list under the "applications" tab after clicking "Tools"-"Options" in Firefox on the machine in question.
Can something be done either by transplanting missing files from one machine to the next or from about:config to induce the desirable result from the other machine in Firefox?

All My Files not displaying all file types

So, as above, in Finder using the default display by file type, the only results I see are for Spreadsheets, Developer and Documents.
No seperate lists for PDFs, Images or any other file type.
Looked in preferences but can't seem to see any place where this might be enabled.
Glum...

Here's another data point: I found some PDFs under my Documents folder that weren't showing up in AMF. I found that simply opening one up in Acrobat Reader would cause it to show up in AMF (I didn't have to change and re-save the PDF).
I did notice that if I selected multiple PDFs at once and opened them all at the same time, some of them would then appear in AMF, while others wouldn't. But opening up a single PDF by itself would always add it to the files shown in AMF (as long as the PDF was somewhere under my User folder - if I first copied the PDF to a second hard drive that's not under my User folder and *then* opened it, it still wouldn't show up in AMF.)
In short, here's what I've discovered so far:
1) AMF doesn't seem to index anything that's not somewhere under my User folder.
2) Not everything under my User folder shows up in AMF, but if I open a "missing" file that's under my User folder, it will then show up in AMF. (Except for pictures and songs - see #3)
3) AMF doesn't index anything that's in my iPhoto or iTunes libraries (even after opening a picture in iPhoto or playing a song in iTunes.)
4) AMF doesn't index attachments to Mail messages unless you download the attachment (presumably because it's then stored under your User folder.)
5) AMF will only seem to (sometimes) index Excel spreadsheets if they're saved as .xlsx files. Even opening, changing and saving a .xls file won't get it to show up in AMF afterward. Spreadsheets are strange, in fact. Even with some .xlsx files, they'll show up in AMF *while I have them open in Excel*, but as soon as I close them in Excel, they disappear from AMF again. This is the only types of file I've seen disappear from AMF after they've shown up once - all the other file types seem to stay in AMF once you can get them to show up there.

I have java. It does not work w/firefox. Need to enable BUT it does not show up in firefox under tools-option-content. I need to "enable" but can't when does not appear. How get java to play with firefox?

Firefox version 3.6.12
Java - I believe 6 update 22 something like that - have verified have most up-to-date available.
I am running on windows xp with upgrade 2. (I can not upgrade to 3 without crashing my system. Not even with hp's "fix" unless they've licked that calf over again.)
Restarting computer has not solved either.

Backup controlfile to trace does not list all files

The shop I am currently at had implemented scripted, hot backups for their Oracle 8.1.7.4 databases on Win 2000 servers. The scripts work fine and I have even used some of the backups for recovery and for cloning a database.
I was recently asked to clone another of the production databases. To clone the database I would need the output from the "backup controlfile to trace". However, when looking at the data files, I found there was one missing! It happens to be a second file associated with the TOOLS tablespace.
My question is: why doesn't the "backup controlfile to trace" show that datafile?

Might be, someone add the mentioned file, aftre you trace your controlfile, do it now and see, weathe it's there or not. Also, query 'select name from v$datafile' and compare the result with trace file.

I´m going to change computer soon. And im worried that if i sync my iPhone to my new computer it will not import all the apps and music that i have or delete it. so could anyone tell me how it will do?
I have windows xp 32 bit and im running on the latest iTunes.
I will swap to windows 7 probaly 32 bit

How do you normally do ti when you switch computers?
Does Windows not have a method of transferring everything from one computer to another?
You can use your backup copy of your computer to copy everything.
For the itunes portion, you can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
Windows should have a way to copy all doc/pics/files/contacts/calendars/etc.

Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". What do i do?

I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found". What can I do?

I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.

After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files. When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error. What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
So you see what's going on here.
I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

My new computer has backed up Firefox bookmark files from my old computer on the new computer's desktop, but I can't open them ; also, how do I get this desktop file into firefox's bookmark list?

My old Vista computer died, but I had backup of my old Firefox .json bookmark files and installed this folder on my new window's 7 computer's desktop. But I can't seem to open these files (windows cant find a program to open them with, and I don't seem to have .json files in my file association list) or import them into the new computer's Firefox bookmarks list.

That's great, matthungo, I'm glad it worked and you've got your Bookmarks back. Wishing you and yours a wonderful and blessed Holiday season as well!

WINDOWS?
Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try

Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop. Is there a small fee to be able to do this. Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop. This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again. Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

FileSelectPopup in LW/CVI not listing all directories/files in linux.

This is concerning a port of Windows based software to Linux. The FileSelectPopup dialog does not list all the files and folders in the current directory. For example, if I look in /home/pshrewsberry I can see everything but when look in /home I cannot see pshrewsberry! Another example: If I am in a directory "test" which contains directories A,B,C and D only B and D are listed. The same happens with files as well: In the FileDialogTest directory that I have attached to this post when I browse this directory using FileSelectPopup I can't see the cvibuild.FileDialogTest directory (created after building) nor can I see the binary "FileDialogTest".
This problem does not happen in all directories that I browse through either. I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason to it. File permissions on all files in FileDialogTest (for example) are the same and UID and GID are same as well but the FileDialogTest binary and the cvibuild.FileDialogTest directory are not listed. If I run as root I get the same results.
I have tested this in Linux with LW/CVI8 and the LW/CVI 2010 beta and I get the same erroneous results with both.
Could this be a bug in LW/CVI for linux?
Thanks

I'm not sure how to track a corrective action request.
What is the timeframe for this to make it into a beta or a distro. I just went throught this before concerning another problem that I found. We ultimately received an updated shared object file (*.so) to fix the issue before the ultimate release of fix in beta. That resolution is preferable for this issue as opposed to waiting for the next official update.
Thanks,
