"open with" doesn'y work properly

When I use "Open with" when adding an application using command I and when I check change all the application in the "open with" menu is gone and the setting are back to where I was.
What is wrong?

The whole issue is more than just a wee bit muddled. When you start your computer it is supposed to consult a file present in every application to see what files that application will open. This will be the default. Thus if you add an application Doofus which creates files.dof, LaunchServices will know about it and store that information so all .dof files will sport the Doofus icon (if the developer made one) and open in Doofus when double clicked. Suppose you have some old .doh files which Doofus is also capable of opening, and you don't want to use your old DuhDoh program to work with them, but want to use your Doofus program instead. You do a GetInfo on a .doh file, assign Doofus and click the Change All button. Now files with either the .dof or .doh extension will open in Doofus. All well and good, except there is more than just ONE file that can contain this information. There are the system level files and there are your own personal over-ride files. Any one of them can get funky and start mucking things up.
When you do the GetInfo over-ride this file gets changed:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist"
But default information about file/application associations is also stored in TWO different system level caches:
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore"
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstore"
The numbers at the end will vary, but the second one will include your userid number, in this case it is my primary admin user, 501. If you have other users you'll notice additional cache files.
If you are getting strange results you could try removing all three files, restart your computer, then make some custom changes. With any luck they'll stick.

PS--There is an additional complication in that the Finder can consult not just the extension, but also the creator. Thus selecting any old pdf file and assigning it to open Preview doesn't guarantee that ALL pdf files will open in Preview. If you didn't happen to pick an Adobe pdf, it will still open in Reader. You'll need to select an Adobe Reader pdf and assign it too. Some extensions can have a dizzying array of creator applications (html files for instance). Just keep assigning, eventually you'll get them all.

My Add-ons window opens but doesn't work properly

This started about a year ago when I had FF 2.0 and I thought it would correct itself when I updated to 3.6 but it didn't.
I have several add-ons that I wanted to remove. When I clicked on Uninstall they stopped functioning and the add-on window said they would be removed when FF restarts, but they don't do that and are still visible after a year or so.
I have no-script and wanted to disable it once to see if it was affecting another program. Clicking on the disable button doesn't do anything so I have to click on Uninstall so it will stop functioning, and then click on disable to enable it again.
If I click onno-script Options, it locks up FF and I have to use the task manager to get out of FF.
Is there a way to put this back in working order?

Thanks. I created a new profile and everything works in that profile.
Now I have to figure out if it's worth all the trouble transferring my bookmarks, themes, and so forth, and also losing my Form autocomplete info, or if I'll just live with it, but it's good to know there's a simple solution.

BPF: Re-open Step doesn't work properly

Hi all,
i have 4 steps in bpf and i have 5 data regions (1000,2000,3000,4000,5000) in all steps. In first step for example when users of 1000,2000 and 3000 complete their area they close and approve them. In second step 1000,2000,3000 areas opened to perform. For example when a user of 1000 does re-open step , in first step instead of just 1000, all data regions 1000,2000 and 3000 turns "reopened".
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Any Idea?

Firefox from version 3.6 to 11 beta doesn't work properly with gmail

Gmail doesn't work properly with any version of firefox from 3.6 to 11. I have tried several newer versions of firefox and they ALL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY with GMAIL!!!!!! THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING!! I can't click on any links or it just keeps saying LOADING when I try to delete a message or even go into the gmail settings.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Hi,
What’s Exchange Version? Sometimes, after Installing Exchange 2010 SP 1, Searching via OWA or Outlook Online Mode may Fail. If so, please try the following solution:
Download the script
Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 from the Script Center.
Copy the Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 script to the Scripts directory on the Mailbox server (default installation is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14\Scripts).
On the afflicted Mailbox server, open the Exchange Management Shell by right-clicking the shortcut and selecting “Run as Administrator”.
Within the Exchange Management Shell, navigate to the Exchange Scripts directory.
Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script: .\Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1
Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script (without the symbols [] and substitute the database name(s) for any databases you wish to reset: .\ResetSearchIndex.ps1 [-force] <dbname> [<dbname>]...
You will receive an Event ID 109 when the rebuilding of the index starts for each database and an Event ID 110 for each database when the index rebuild has completed.
After receiving Event ID 110 for each database, test to make sure search functions correctly with both OWA and Outlook operating in Online Mode.

Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

Hello!
I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
things I have tried and they still not help:
# drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
# driver settings, low latency, high latency
# asio and different settings
# pluging the interface to another usb socket.
# trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
# updated bios
# turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
# checked IRQ list
pops still appear.
my config:
Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
Win XP Home SP3
Celeron M 1,5GHz
896Mb ram
M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
Kind regards

Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

Selecting with colour range doesn't work properly

Well, at least to me it doesn't work properly. If I have elements on seperate levels and I use the colour range option to select the area, it works on all the levels, not just the level I have selected. That's not what I want! I only want it to select the colour range on that one level. The work around is to manually turn off other levels, but on a file with lots of levels, that can be tedious. Can this be avoided? Incidentally, magic wand works only on the selected level, but not colour range (or color range, if you are American).

Aha! You are correct. Layers above the target layer are still being sampled when sampling is at "Current Layer".
That has to be a bug. The Eye Dropper Tool itself does work correctly, though.
I'm about to report another problem, so I'll report this one, too.
Edit: Looking again, I don't think there is a bug.
It seems to not be that the higher layer is seen when sampling "Current Layer", which is correct and the same as when the Eye Dropper Tool itself is use. However, the pixels of the visible composite are then evaluated to determine the regions to be selected. I guess that's correct behaviour and you will have to do the Alt-click on eye trick to completely ignore all other layers.

Safari doesn't work properly with Ebay

Safari doesn't work properly when listing items on Ebay. Fix it.

Hi Occo
I would rather Apple updates Safari
Then tell Apple, this a user to user forum, although I don't think Apple will update just for your problem as hardly anybody is experiencing the same issue, just a couple on this troubleshooting forum.
this IS NOT A EBAY PROBLEM
Please don't use all caps, it is considered shouting. No this may well not be an ebay problem, but it is not a Safari issue either, it is an issue on your Safari and on your computer. Everyone I know has no trouble with ebay at all. In fact Safari 4.0.4 has made it even faster to log in and browse, buy etc.
id rather apple fixed their software
Again, tell Apple, not us, through the Apple feedback page or file a bug report. They will update Safari if and when they decide, but it will not be to fix what is not broken.
Im sure there would be similiar sites that arent compatible with safari
I agree, as stated before that some sites are just lazy in updating their coding, usually not the high traffic sites though. Other sites only update their code for Windows IE and forget the rest of the world. Firefox, Opera, Camino etc. also can't access some sites.
So in conclusion, try Safari and OSX maintenance and if that fails, then try an archive and install. Because there is nothing wrong with Safari 4.0.4 and ebay, or else this forum would be inundated with thousands upon thousands of users complaining and that is not the case.
Cheers and Good Luck

Why can't I get open type features to work properly with an open type font on InDesign CS5.5?

I installed a very complete set of styles of an opentype font with Font Book – Mac OS X 10.9.4 – but when I tried to format a sample text on InDesign CS5.5 I noticed that I could not use the opentype features on the Open Type menu as I usually do.
Could anyone help me, please?

It's ffScala Sans, but has separate files for small caps, figures, etc.
I was trying to use small caps, lining figures and superscripts when I
noticed none of the OT features are available.

Trouble with the PS CC2014 3D Effects - Intel HD Graphics 3000 that doesn't work properly?

I Have a MBP 13 inch 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 late 2011 and I'm Having trouble with the PS CC2014 3D Effects crashing when trying to apply a New 3D extrusion, are there any solution regarding the Intel HD Graphics 3000 that doesn't work properly?
Thanks!

Look at this document. It should help you troubleshoot and it suggests settings to try out.
Photoshop CC and CC 2014 GPU FAQ
While the stock advice for Windows users is to go to the Intel site for updates, Mac users can only get their drivers in the Mac OSX system updates. So you need to be sure your OS is up to date. If you have an earlier version, like 10.7 or 10.8, it is possible an upgrade to 10.9 might help.

What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
Reinstall the Driver
Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
Power Cycle
Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.
Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
Reattach the battery if removed.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
Start the computer and test the drive

Site doesn't work properly

Hi all, I'm PHP programmer, and i have some questions in my area. I have 3 Apple computers (MacBook Air, MacBook and MacBook Pro). There is one site, made by our group, that doesn't work properly on my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, while other sites work excellent on that 2 computers. And what is more interesting, site, that doesn't work on my MacBook Pro and Air, WORKS on my windows computer, and WORKS on my MacBook. I tried to use this site from different internet provider, but problem was steel actual. I asked 2 of my friends to try this site on their MacBooks Pro - the same (it doesn't work properly, links don't open), but any other computer (under windows, or iPad, or my Macbook) can work with this site excellent. Can anybody help with this? Are there any specifications in program code to MacBook Air work with that site also excellent?

It's working, after using Cyberduck to FTP.
