Open with... feature

Dear all,
it is possible to open a document like xlsx or docs in change mode in apps like office mobile.
But are there apps available to save the changes back to the mobile documents repository?
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi all,
we have the same issue. We have Office 365 on our IOS-Devices and we would like to use the option for saving documents back to mobile documents.
Do you know if SAP put a request to Microsoft for implementing this feature?
Best Regards

Is there a way to remove items from "Open With" list?

I have an interesting dilemma that I have not yet found an answer to in all of my internet/discussion forum searches. Maybe I'm asking the wrong questions or searching in the wrong places, but I've given up and now have to post the question in hopes there's an answer out there.
My issue is that whenever I want to use the "Open With" feature for an image/jpeg file, the list of choices is massive! Looking at it now, it lists over 30 applications, but at most I would only ever want to open this type of file in one of maybe four applications.
Starting off, I used to have Parallels on my computer. Have since purchased VMWare Fusion 4 and now use that as my virtual machine to run Windows for some of my design work. As far as I know, I had removed ALL of Parallels from my computer when I uninstalled the app. I followed all of the instructions in the uninstall process, but there seems to be something left behind.
It may seem that mentioning that wouldn't have anything to do with the "Open With" function, but here is a screen shot to show what happens whenever I right-click an image file:
http://www.virtuosocreative.com/apple/openwith1.jpg
Most of the time, if I right click the image, it'd be to open in Photoshop or Set as Desktop. On occasion I have had to open a jpeg file in Illustrator, but that's it.
For some reason, there are still Parallels applications showing on the "Open With" list, even though it was uninstalled and removed from my computer. But like I said earlier, it looks like I missed something.
In addition, although I am not logged into Windows or have Fusion running in the background, the "Open With" list includes all of the suggested Windows apps as well. why???
As much as I appreciate there being such an abundance of options to choose from, this gets extremely annoying when using the feature and I wanted to see if there was any way to modify this list.
More than anything, I really want to get rid of all the Parallels extras that are left on my system. But also, I wanted to see if there was a setting to tweak so that whenever I click on "Open With" on my Mac, it'll only list applications that are my Mac applications and nothing through Fusion or Parallels or anything else. And to take it a step further, it'd be nice to shorten the list to only applications I would personally use for opening a jpeg file. (i.e. Preview (default), Photoshop, Illustrator, Safari).
My system is a 2010 iMac i5 2.8GHz/8GB RAM. Lion OS X 10.7.3
Thanks!

The Open With menu is built by LaunchServices which collects the information from each app as to what it says it can open. VMWare appears to be registering every app to open jpegs.
You might try rebuilding the LaunchServices database. I believe this command still works in Lion. Or, you could use a utility like OnyX to call it:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Using Open With in Vista

I recently upgraded from CS3 to CS4 on two computers, one with XP and the other with Vista. The computer with the XP I have had no problems. The computer with Vista I have a problem trying to open Jpeg files using the Open With feature of Vista. I have been trying to add PhotoShop, In-Design and Bridge, so far, as default programs.
Windows will allow me to find PhotoShop, e.g. But, when I click on the photoshop icon to set it as the default, nothing happens. It is the same for the other programs in CS4.
I don't have this problem on the computer with XP on it and I never had this problem, on either computer, with CS3.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions? I called Adobe and they just said it was a Windows problem and to call Dell.
Thanks,
Doug

In Vista, if I select a JPG and double click it, it opens a window with the image showing. At the top of the page at the end of the horizontal menu it says "Open" and I choose Adobe Photoshop out of the list. Do you have the same options?

"open with" bug?

I'm using OSX 10.7.3 on an iMac.
I am working on an AIFF file in Bias Peak, so using the "open with" feature I have told the file to open with Peak.
Every time I save the file after working on it, "open with" reverts to iTunes.
I don't want to tell OSX to open all AIFFs in Peak, just the one I am working on.
In general it's fine for them to open in iTunes.
I know it's not the worst bug, I can just drag the file onto the Peak icon in the dock or whatever but it seems like a bug and is quite annoying because I always forget and have to watch iTunes open......
any ideas?
or just another Lion bug?
cheers

Thanks for the reply, but if that's the case then what is the point of the "Always Open With" option for individual files?
I am talking about the menu option that is available when you press CTRL+ALT whilst clicking on the file.
This is a setting for an indivudual file, not a global setting for all files of a certain type.
Surely "always" ought to mean always, but it keeps reverting back to opening with the wrong application.

Can't open PSD files using "Open With..." feature in 3rd party programs.

I use MediaPro to manage my media assets and it allows me to pass files to PE10 with an "Open With..." feature. So I can have a file selected in MediaPro, and then open that file with PE by using this feature. It worked great with PE8, but for some reason I cannot get it to work with PE10. When I use the feature, PE10 opens, but to a blank page - the actual image fails to come into the program.
I know the problem is NOT with MediaPro, since this worked flawlessly with PE8. The problem appears to be with PE10. Any ideas???
Carl...

If this is on a mac, my guess is that you are choosing the obvious file as your external editor rather than the correct one. You want this one:
The file at the top level of the PSE 10 folder is just an alias to the welcome screen.

Issue with "Open with Explorer" feature

Hello
Since the middle of last week, our users are experiencing some strange issues with the feature "Open with Explorer".
This feature is normally working perfectly, but from time to time, the users are receiving the error message when clicking on the button: "We´re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and
try again.".
In all those computers, the SharePoint site is already in Trusted Sites list or in Local Intranet list. Moreover, just closing Internet Explorer and reopening it fix the issue.
Do you know what could be the reason of such a strange behavior?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Yann

Make sure you are not running into the following scenario.
SPS13
"Open with Explorer" random error "We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again"
I quote directly from the above blog post but make sure you read the entire blog post.
The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
Resolution:
Check and ensure, that the “Managed Paths”
are not changed
in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
this web application and there is a working Root site collection.

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.

Bridge CC Missing Features from CS6, i.e. 'Open With'

Using CC - Windows 7, 64bit.
First of all - I am curious as if there is a way to set additional options for the "Open With" option when Right-Clicking on an Item? For example in previous versions of Bridge, I was able to right click on a PDF that would need to be opened in Photoshop or Illustrator and select that as an option as opposed to opening in the default Acrobat Reader. In CC, I am forced to leave Bridge, go into the application, and Open the file through the system dialog box. It's a function I didn't realize how often I used until I updgraded to CC - now I am forced to go through a timely hunt for the file through the servers instead of just being able to open it via Bridge. The current options to 'Open With' are Acrobat are available, also offers Adobe Reader, and Chrome as options - but none of the necessary options.
I realize I could drag and drop it - and at times this is appropriate - but often not.
Is there a way to activate or achieve this?
Secondly, and I have researched this some already but wanted to confirm - there is no way to create a PDF inside of Bridge anymore? I have installed the Output Module successfully, however the option to create the a PDF is still not there. Is this correct, or should the ability to create a mulit-page PDF be in the Output Module I installed? If so, where is it now located?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Adam

In CC, I am forced to leave Bridge, go into the application, and Open the file through the system dialog box.
That is not normal behavior (at least on my Mac I still have all installed applications as option under this menu). By default the open with menu under the righty mouse menu should show all installed applications on your system. It sometimes even shows them double in case of attached disks with back up etc.
This has not changed in Bridge CC. If you have those applications installed on your system at the same location as Bridge they should show.
First try a reset of preferences for Bridge with holding down control key while restarting Bridge and choose rest preferences from the provided menu.

Removing obsolete file type associations from "Open With" menu

Ever since I removed VMWare Fusion 3.x from my system, I've been unable to remove the Bootcamp file type associations that it created. For example, if I right-click on a PDF and choose Open With, this is a partial list of what I see:
Adobe Acrobat Pro (default)
Adobe Distiller (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Fireworks CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
Adobe Illustrator CS4
Adobe Illustrator (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
...and on and on and on. 17 additional entries for Fusion for PDS's alone. This junk is driving me crazy.
I've tried rebuilding the Launch Services database with MacPilot and Onyx (the recommended fix that I've found on the web), but the entries still are there even after restarting Finder and rebooting my iMac. I'm at a loss to figure out how to get rid of these.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

They are stored in the LaunchServices database. You can give this a try, but no guarantees. If you no longer use VM Fusion then I suggest following the information below on uninstalling software.
Rebuild LaunchServices Database
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
find /System/Library/Frameworks -type f -name "lsregister" -exec {} -kill -seed -r \;
Press RETURN.
Wait for the Terminal prompt to return after which you can quit the Terminal.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
there is a description of it.
Resume in OS X Lion
When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

Pages 5.2 documents unsuccessfully try to open with old version 4.3

I understand that I have two version of pages, new (5.2) and old (4.3), with separate icons in my Applications folder.
The way it has been working is this:
• If I opened an document created with Pages 4, it prompted me to automatically update with Pages 5.
• Documents created with the new Pages 5 could be opened, as expected, by just double clicking. The document would pop open with Pages 5.
Now, for some reason this is happening:
• When I try to open a document created with Pages 5 by double clicking I get the message: "You need a newer version of Pages." If I right click the document I can select "open with." The window show "Pages (default) (5.2)" at the top and Pages (4.3) right below. I select "Pages (default) (5.2)" and the document opens. It seems that my comuter is using the old version of Pages as the default, even though, according to the "open with" window, Pages 5.2 is the default.
• When I open a document created with the old version, it opens using the old version and no longer prompts me to update it to the new version.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions.

Try this. Select (but don't open) a document created with the new Pages. Press Command-I. Under "Open with", select Pages 5.2. Click on "Change All".
An alternative to try is to move the old Pages app to another folder. Do not delete the old Pages - you may need it later!
Be aware that once a document is converted to the new Pages format it will not open with the old Pages (unless you specifically export it in old Pages format). I mention this because the new Pages lacks features found in the old version and this might be a problem for you.

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

The "always open with-" option doesn't work!

Is there a way to get the "Always open with" option when doing a (control) (option) click on a file to actually ALWAYS open with the application I choose? Could this feature be broken or perhaps mislabeled?
Here's what happens; I'll set a file to "always open with" one application. I work on that file and save it. The next time I try to open that file it opens with the snow leopard default application instead of using the application I directed it to "Always open with".
I don't want to open every file type with this application so I'm not setting "apply to all" in the info window/ inspector, I simply want this one file to always open with the application I've selected.
I'm hoping some of you super mac users will know a trick to make this work.

I want to open a few select files with a non-default application (now that the creation code is not used.)...If I work on the file and make/save any changes, it reverts to the default app.
Aha! Okay, I don't think any of us were getting that in the initial posts. You are correct. Snow Leopard no longer uses Type and Creator codes by default, but they are still there. Various things are keeping you from doing what you want.
1) Newer programs that do not use Type and Creator codes at all still need a way to tell the OS what files belong to them. Since at least back as far as Leopard (likely earlier), the system now uses Uniform Type Identifiers. As far as keeping track of what files belong to what applications, they serve the same purpose as Type and Creator codes. So when you save changes, it will indeed revert back to the default app since the file once again gets saved with that program's UTI data.
2) Some programs use both UTI and Type and Creator codes. Usually older apps that have come from PPC code. I would guess that would be either because the developer doesn't want to waste time removing the code that adds the Type and Creator codes to the files, or more likely, to make sure files passed to other users still on older Macs that don't use UTI won't have trouble opening them.
3) I use some much older apps which have still not been rewritten at all for Intel Macs and are still all PPC code. They still write Type and Creator codes.

"Open with Explorer" no longer works with IE 10 & 11 without 32-bit -- What alternative do we have?

I know that if we open SPS 2010 in IE 10 & IE 11 in 64-bit O/S, "Open with Explorer" no longer works because this function requires 32-bit version of IE.
I give up to find a way to open IE 10 in 32-bit -- I had tried several so-called solutions but none works for me. So, I'm looking for an alternative: is there an URL that I can put in
Windows Explorer's address bar to open the SharePoint page directly?
I had tried http://mysps/somefolder/etc/ failed!
I had tried \\mysps\DavWWWRoot failed again!
So, I would like to hear to those who have succeeded to use "Open with Explorer" with IE 10 or 11 installed in 64-bit O/S.

Hi Horinius,
According to your description, my understanding is that "Open with Explorer" didn’t work with IE 10 & 11 in SharePoint 2010.
I commend you use IE 10 or 11 32-bit rather than 64-bit. Then check whether the browser SharePoint add-ons are enabled. If not, please enable them.
You can check browser add-ons by opening IE->Tools->Programs->Manage add-ons-> check all add-ons related to SharePoint, such as SharePoint OpenDocuments Class. If there is not any add-on related to SharePoint, please repair your Office by clicking
Control Panel->Programs and Features-> select your Office, and right-click it, then select ‘Change’.
Please make sure that webClient service is running on your machine by opening Start->Administrative Tools->Services.

Ipod touch 5th gen won't connect/open with itunes

I just got my ipod touch less than a month ago and it was charging perfectly well until today. At first it didn't want to charge, but I went to device manager and updated the usb cable for the ipod (it says Apple ipod). Now the ipod charges but it doesn't open with itunes instead it opens to a totally different file on my computer. When I go to itunes, I get no response from it.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
