"Open with" "do this automatically" option doesn't work.

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.23.
My VOIP provider copies my voicemail messages to .WAV files and sends them to my email. Very handy.
When I try to download such a file, Firefox pops up a dialog asking me what program to use; it correctly remembers that my choice is the "Windows Media Player" (which is also called out in "Tools/Options/Applications").
The dialog also has a checkbox labeled "Do this automatically for files like this from now on". I set this checkbox many boots ago, and the dialog always pops up with it set, but it never does what the label says. I always have to click "OK" to proceed.
Fix?

That choice only work if the files are send with a valid MIME type.

The "about:tabs" message always appears. The close button appears inactive so checking the "don't show this again" option doesn't work.

I am running Firefox 3.6.13 under windows/xp. All of a sudden, when opening a new tab the "about:tabs" message comes up all the time. I checked the box labeled "do not show this message again" but the "close" box seems to be inactive. Pressing it has no affect so apparently the option to suppress the message is not set. The new tab must be closed manually.

I lost several App Icons after install of 3.0 upgrade. Facebook, Tweetie, Birdhouse and a few others are no longer on the home screen, but they do sync through iTunes and I can access them if I move the home screen to the right (to show the spotlight search screen) and I can open them, the icons just won't show up. It is very inconvenient, hope Apple creates a fix for this soon.

How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

your link gave me a good starting place...
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
thanks.

Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.

I have ipad with IOS 7, Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

Try this and see if it helps.
Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
Now close Safari completely. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then "swipe up" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option doesn't works

OK, guys, this is the problem...
After YEARS of testing from Acrpbat 4 thru 9 on Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option... it doesn't works properly and doesn't got the entire site. ALWAYS get an error of memory or any other error but FINALLY you NEVER got the entire site. I'm talking for a big website... not like amazon.com, but a big one.
I make a walkarround to try to capture the website in parts but Acrobat is not "intelligent" to make a resume capture of the site, because ALWAYS start from the begining instead from the resume position of the site...
My question is, HOW can get the ENTIRE SITE in a PDF document... without getting errors or stopping the capture process...
Don't have problem of low RAM memory because I'm in a MONSTER MACINTOSH.... 3.2 GHZ with 8 Core and 32 GB of RAM under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 in Acrobat 9 Pro.
If I'm not wrong, the GET ENTIRE SITE option in Web Capture (Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option) doesn't works from Acrobat 4 thru 9 in Pro version... tested, you'll never got the entire site... I'm talking in capture a huge entire site and not a little one...
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Ok so I go to a web page and select something to print. Once I've clicked print I switch over from printer/micosoft xps docu writer/fax and select Adobe PDF. All goes through with a 'Create Adobe PDF' coming up progressing through to eventually save and store. Once I open the file it end up as the picture above. I have the same version on another computer and that works fine but this particular Sony laptop it doesn't seem to work properly.

When I click on the 'help' key in the elements 12 program it wants to open it in Firefox2. Firefox doesn't work on my Macbook Pro Air. I use Safari. How do I get it to open?

Hmm, that is very strange. I agree with MichelB that it's probably best just to get the PDF, but you can try going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
Repair permissions and see if that does it.

Music App shuffle option doesn't work

Stats: iPad 1, iOS 5.0.1
Music App shuffle option doesn't work. I have already reset the iPad, removed all my music and resynched. Shuffle button is selectable, but just plays the songs in alphabetical order, even if I try to skip to another song or start anywhere on my playlist.
So far this version of music player for apple product is disappointing, the iTunes app before never had these issues. There are some serious bugs in this Music app, Apple your comback success was largely because of iPods and iTunes, so music is a big part of Apple users use, please fix this.

Hello,
Yes I believe this is a known bug in Firefox OS v1.0. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883781 Bug 883781].
The bug is marked as resolved in Firefox OS v1.1. Once ZTE update the Open to v1.1 the bug will be fixed on your device.
v1.1 of Firefox OS was officially released yesterday. Hopefully it won't be too long before it reaches the ZTE Open. See here for more details:
[https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2013/10/09/firefox-os-update-1-1-adds-new-features-performance-improvements-and-additional-language-support/ Firefox OS Update (1.1)]
I hope that helps.

How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

It's because of the extension of the hard drive is a Windows extension ( most likely MSDOS or Ex-FAT), meaning you can only read but not write. If there are no important files (or you can copy the whole thing to your computer/mac) you can just reformat the hard drive and change the extension to NTFS (readable and writable on both windows and mac) or Mac OS Extended (readable and writable on Mac, readable on windows).
Go to DISK UTILITY
Choose the Hard Disk you intended
ERASE
You can choose either
(I personally prefer this one, you know just in case)

You can't open Dictation & Speech preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

I cannot open or use Dictation & Speech in System Preferences. When I try to open it I get the error:
"You can’t open Dictation & Speech preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I have tried repairing the disk from the installation CD and repairing the permissions and I have also tried re-installing Mountain Lion but the feature still does not work. Any ideas?

Open Finder, press Option key and select Go > Library. Open Preferences and delete com.apple.systempreferences.plist. If you can't open, do a backup, format and install

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

InDesign CS4 can open .indd, .indt and .inx files from earlier versions, but not from later. It should, however, be able to open .idml files saved or exported from newer versions, with the understanding that unsupported features will be lost, text will probably reflow due to differences in texts engines between versions, and that the greater the gap between versions the more likely there are to be noticeable differences from the original. You will need to be sure CS4 is at version 7.0.6 to read the .idml.
