Open with Application... setting does not seem to be working

Mac OS X 10.6.6, FF 4.0 (RC1), Microsoft Excel 2011 14.0.2. I needed to download several files with .xls suffix.
Firefox asked what I wanted to do with the file, I indicated Open with Excel, and retain this setting. I then tried the next download, and the "Open With..." button showed no settings. I check the Preferences>Applications area, and Excel is there as the application of choice, but it does not appear as the "Open With" application in the download dialog box. If I just go ahead and download, the file does not open. If I *do* re-select Excel, then the file downloads and opens properly, but the setting is not retained for the next download, even though the "always do this" box is checked. It's a minor issue.

Has nobody experienced this issue before?

HT1338 My mac is becoming too slow. It takes long to open word documents, pdf files or excel documents or even safari. Can anybody suggest something? I have tried to reduce the number of open applications, but does not seem to work.

Hi ...
Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
See if that makes a difference ...

TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

I have down loaded a track which was initially missing 1min 30 seconds. iTunes enabled my to reload the rack which is complete on the PC. However, syncing with my Ipad2 does not seem to replace the incomplete version with the full version. Thanks S

I have down loaded a track which was initially missing 1min 30 seconds. iTunes enabled me to reload the rack which is now complete on the PC. However, syncing with my Ipad2 does not seem to replace the incomplete version with the full version. Can anyone out there help?
Thanks S

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I've un-checked the track and re-synced the Ipad as suggested, but then re-checking and re-syncing han no effect. The track is still missing the final minute and a half or so. I've tried it twice, but the effect is the same.
Any other ideas? Would un-checking the entire music collection and staring again work, or is that a road to disaster?

Your Application Set does not match the applications in your Retrieval Rule

Hi,
While creating the time card iam getting the error:Your Application Set does not match the applications in your Retrieval Rule Group.
Please Suggest the solution.
Thanks

In Our case, we created a new PERSON TYPE in HR and we forgot to add this type to OTL Preferences.
So in the above scenario:
Go to US OTL Application Developer -> Preferences ->
In the Eligibility Tab. add new row
Name of Rule => any unique name
Name of Branch => enter the name of an existing branch which the time card preferences are going to be the same.
Link By => We use Person Type... You can choose PERSON here but i would not know why you would want to do that
Linked To => Person Type you want to have this for
Precedence => Unique Number
From => make sure to enter an earlier date especially when people are required to enter older than todays timecard since this field defaults to today.
If you totally dont have or want to build a new preference, then you will have to go to the Preference Tab and create a new branch.
in ours, we have Timekeeper and TimeStore and Employees
in Timekeeper -> we have timekeeper timecard layout
in TimeStore -> we have approval style, entry level processing rule, time entry rule groups, timestore retrieval rule group
in Employees -> all we have is really those preferences we;d like to see. Date Format, Enter Negative Hours, Enter Override Approver, Number of Empty Rows, Timecard Delete Allowed, Timecard Layout, Number of Recent Timecards displayed, timecard status allowing edits.
Hope the above helps

When I long hold a doc open with adobe reader does not appear

When I long tap on a doc to open ; open with adobe reader does not appear

Which app did you start with? Apple Mail, Safari, iBooks or something else?
Is a PDF document already open in other app? If so, you can tap the PDF document to display a toolbar in the app. Do you see the icon like this in the toolbar?
You can tap the icon to open a popup then tap "Open in..." or "Open in Adobe Reader". You may need to scroll to the right to find the red icon with "Open in Adobe Reader".
In Safari, tap "Open in..." (blue text) in the top toolbar, instead.
If you see something else on the screen, please let us know the name of the app.

"Item Help Subscription" does not seem to be working

Hi All,
I am on APEX 4.0.1. and trying to use the feature "Item Help Subscription" which does not seem to be working.
Here is what I have done.
-> Created a forms page (page 2) that has an item 'P2_NAME'. Define the "Help Text" for that item.
-> Created another forms page (page 3) that has an item called 'P3_CUST_NAME'.
-> In Page Definition for Page 3, Clicked on 'Edit All' icon under 'Items'
-> Clicked 'Utilities' and selected 'Item Help Subscriptions'
-> For Item 'P3_CUST_NAME', clicked on the LOV under 'Subscribe To' field and selected 'P2_NAME'
However when I am clicking on 'Apply Changes' to save the changes, it is not getting saved. The 'Subscribe To' field appears blank even after applying changes.
What I want to know is - is it a bug or have I missed something ? Is anyone using this feature successfully ?
Any pointers or help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashish Agarwal

Hi Ashish,
I had created Item Help Subscription that you had mentioned.
But I don't have any problem with this. It creates successfully.
I am using Application Express 4.0.2.00.06

My operating system does not seem to be working

My operating system does not seem to be working properly. The system preferences cannot be accessed and itunes won't work either.
My mac is OS X Version 10.4.11 so is quite old.

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Let us know if that helps or not, or any other problems.

HT1766 My touch screen does not seem to be working. The slide to unlock will not slide

My touch screen does not seem to be working. I can not slide to open my phone or slide to turn off.

You have tried restarting, right? Also, try holding the home and sleep/wake buttons together for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. See if that helps. If it doesn't and you think this is a hardware problem, taking it into the Apple Store is your best bet.

TS2634 ipad keyboard does not seem to be working. I have recharged it ---what else should I do?

My keyboard attachment to the ipad does not seem to be working. It has been recharged. Is there anything else I should be doing?

When you plug in earphones, or anything in the audio output port, it should be reflected in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>SOUND. If not, try a PRAM reset.

"Open with" in Windows does not work for Bridge CS5

When I right click on a picture to open it with Bridge CS5 nothing happens. Does anybody know how to fix this?
It worked with older version of Bridge and it stopped once I installed the CS5.
I have Windows Vista.

I found out that you can "Browse with Adobe Bridge CS5" when you right click on a folder. However this option is not available for single files. So problem is kind of solved. But if anyone knows how to open single file in Bridge please let me know.
So have you opened the fly out menu that lists the open wiht programs? It has a option down on the bottom to set other "open with" options such as open with Bridge. Does this not work?
It works one single files on my machine.

Automated Backup Does Not Seem to be Working

I tried to set up an automated backup on an Azure Web App. It's on the Standard Plan. It allowed me to configure it and after I did so I got a notification saying it was set up. And I see now that it has a status of "Created". But it does not seem
to have moved any further -- and it has been about 15 minutes.
I did successfully get a manual backup of the site to work last night with the same configuration.
Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?
Thank you.

Hi,
I would request you to check under backup options, scheduled backup is on.
And also please make sure that the Backup and Restore feature requires an Azure storage account and container that must belong to the same subscription as the web app that you are going to back up.
Do check this and let us know so that we can investigate further.

Azam khan
