"Open with" in mail shows duplicate entries

This seems like a CFBundleRoleType problem of some sort... It happens that if one decides to right-click an attachment in Mail and opt for "open with" sub-menu (something people rarely do, I suppose;) there's a list full of redundant entries. For example: A TIFF image attachment has an infinite list of "Open with" options with things repeating like this:
Safari
Preview
Safari
Safari
Safari
Safari
Preview
Preview
Preview
... and so on. The list contains some programs that are inadequate for this filetype as well.
This _DOES NOT_ happen in Finder though. Finder gives a clean and correct "Open with" list.
My Leopard is a clean install with the previous Tiger installation's data and applications imported and is a week old.

I just noticed this problem in mail as well. Only some of my applications are duplicated. If I run both of the applications that are duplicated then one runs from the normal application folder and the other from the backed up timemachine folder on the external drive.
There seems to be no reason as to which applications are duplicated and which are not - some are Apple applications, some not.
I did notice a lot of unusual activity on my timemachine drive shortly before this happened. Backup was not happening and spotlight was not indexing but someone was reading the drive.

0ORGUNIT with 0EMPLOYEE report shows duplicate entries in Hierarchy

Hi
I am triyng to build a report like PO13 in ECC (Organization Tree with Position & Org Unit).
The report is built on 0EMPLOYEE and uses the 0ORGUNIT as a nav att with Hier
But in BW the report is showing the Employee twice!
Once in the top level of the hierarchy and in the level it suppose to be.
Any body knows why?
Thanks
Edan

Ran into the same requirement at a previous client. They desired an org chart in BI.
However, the way BW hierarchies seem to work, is that it will repeat the characteristic value for each node higher in the hierarchy.
For instance, if your hierarchy looks like All Company -> Division -> Dept. -> Group, and Employee 'Joe Bob' is a member of 'Group'. If you have all levels displayed in BEx, 'Joe Bob' will be included under each level.
We found that the hierarchies are good for rolling up the fact data, but terrible for presenting characteristic data compared to other reporting systems we were used to. We ended up pushing back and the users used the Org reports builtin to ECC.

Ipad still showing duplicate entries for songs.

my Ipad still showing duplicate entries for songs. I have unchecked Show Itunes in the Cloud purchases, I have tried replacing all items when autofilling (before syncing) I have even logged out then back into itunes, to no avail. Can you please assist? Thank you

hi guys, i was just googling the problem as i too have it, i am currently trying to sort it, i have deleted all my music off my phone using itunes and then put it all back on and also tried deleting it and outting 1 album on at a time, still not got rid of the duplicate tracks, i have now used the show duplicate items view and deleted those off my itunes library. i think i may have come across the problem!! i have just deleted all my music off my iphone using itunes again, and it shows nothing being on my iphone, however, if i go into music on my actual phone it is still showing 126 songs and none of them play. so i have now deleted them manually directly from the phone and am now putting all my music back onto my phone hoping i have cured the issue of ghost tracks.
ill let you know when its done if we are cured!!
BOOOOOMMMM!!!!! it worked!!! been so frustating, now its all good, hope this helps anyone with the same issues

After I updated iOS 5 can´t use the "open with" for mail attachments.

After I updated iOS 5 on my iPad 2, I can not use the "open with" for mail attachments. The option is not appearing.
For example, when I try to open an .wmv attachment the iOS 5 doesn´t show "open with". Before update, I was able to open with "AZUL" software.
Can anyone help me?

You did say that the option does not appear at all in mail no matter which file type you want to open correct? I can only assume that something went corrupt in the update that affected your settings and that's why this option no longer appears. For experimental purposes, you could try emailing a PDF to yourself and see if that will allow you to use the Open in function in the mail app.
If nobody else jumps into this discussion with a different idea, then maybe you should try restoring your iPad. The best way to do so is - first backup the device - and then restore to factory settings and then you can try restoring from a backup at the end of the process.
However, if one of your settings is corrupt, the backup will be corrupt as well. It may be that you will have to restore to factory settings and then start all over again - adding your apps and content back to the device to get the best results. I would certainly use this process as a last resort. Restoring from a backup maybe all that you need to do.

Apple Mail shows duplicate message in Sent mailbox - HOW TO FIX IT?

I have sent a message with Apple Mail 7.3 on Mac with OS X Mavericks 10.9.3, and it shows DUPLICATED in the Sent mailbox of Mail. I mean, two entries with the very same message inside are displayed, yet, as said, I only sent it once! I am using POP.
Selecting "Mailbox - Rebuild", quitting and opening Mail, repairing permissions with Apple Disk Utility, restarting the Mac, and even resetting the PRAM does not fix it.
I have seen the following article, but cannot find the "MessageSorting.plist" in Mavericks that it indicates:
How to Fix Duplicate Emails Sent From Apple Email
http://www.ehow.com/how_12135498_fix-duplicate-emails-sent-apple-email.html
Any idea on how to prevent this duplication behavior (beyond deleting one of such messages, which, of course, I can do); I mean, to fixing whatever is corrupted and prevent such behavior happening again in the future?
What is the equivalent of "MessageSorting.plist" in Mavericks to do what indicates the above article?
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. Didn't find a solution yet.

Add app to "Open with" in MAIL

Hello all,
in my mail app, when I receive some attached file, I can right clic it and select the app I want to open it with. The problem is, Photoshop is not among that apps list and I want to add it. There is the option "other" (otros) and I can choose it there but, I have to do it every single time I want to open something in photoshop.
How can I add photoshop to the "open with" context menu being INSIDE the Mail app?
See attached image to clear what I need
Thanks in advance.

You're welcome, sadly there's no fix by now. I will send some feedback directly to Apple, if you want, send it here (there's no direct link to Mail app) http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
The main problem is that mail handle attachments in it's own way, making everthing simple for the reader / viewer. You can add an image an resize it within the app, add an image without extension, etc.
Note: I don't know if your know this one, but if you click on the e-mail message and press Command + Y, it will show the Quick look of your e-mail attachments, once in the popup, right click on the Open Preview button and it will show directly the PS app to Open with, among others.
Best!

Open with menu not showing icons

Hi, since i installed Mavericks i've been experiencing some issues, and the one i need to solve right know is this:
In this example is only with media players but it happens with other apps too, both system and non-system apps. I've tried this command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain user;killall Finder;echo "Open With has been rebuilt, Finder will relaunch"
that is used to delete duplicated items on "Open With" menu but it doesn't solve this Icon issue.. I also deleted com.apple.LaunchServices.plist from ~/Library/Preferences/ and it didn't helped. I don't know what to do anymore.
Please help me out with this, i don't want to do a fresh install again.

OS X does that constantly. If you click anywhere away from the contextual menu to close it, then perform the same right click, then they'll show.

Open with menu not showing photoshop

Using Bridge CC when I right click on picture to show open with menu it wont show Photoshop cc 2014. How do I fix that?

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

"open with" menu suddenly showing multiple copies of all apps - HELP!!

Recently, the "open with" menu that pops up when I right click a file on my desktop has started showing multiple copies of all applications, and it's getting WORSE! It started out a few weeks ago doing this with one extra copy of only one application, but now there many, many copies of all apps - different numbers of copies depending on the app.
This is somehow related to the fact that I have an external G-Drive USB connected, which I am using as my backup drive. I copied everything onto this drive using SuperDuper. When the G-drive is connected, I get the error message below if I pick the "wrong" copy of an app. When I eject the G-Drive, I STILL see multiple apps, but get no error message, and any one of the app copies I select will open properly.
IMac G5, PPC, OSX 10.4.11
Thank you for any help!

I'm glad you found a solution, please mark your post with a green correct, so that others can see the solution as well.

Why does Thunderbird 31.1.2 see .url files as text documents? As a result, opening with any browser shows only text that are properties of the .url.

I have an email with .url attachments. When I click on them I get a messages similar to this:
You have chosen to open: Test.url
which is: Text Document (5.0KB)
from: mailbox://
What should Thunderbird do with this file?
If I select "Open with Firefox" I get a local page open up in Firefox with the address:
file:///C:/Users/Scott/AppData/Local/Temp/Test.url-1.txt
and the contents of this page:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.vrbo.com/xxxxxx
IDList=
IconFile=http://resources.vrbo.com/resources/xxxxx/images/favicon.ico
IconIndex=1
[{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
Prop3=19,2
If I choose to save the .url file to the desktop it opens correctly in Firefox.
Can someone assist me with this?
Anyone???

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

"open with" menu not showing in safari when having a pdf open. even when tabing the pdf in safari.....

As the title states....
In default settings when opening a pdf with safari and tabbing the page, there is a black bar (menu) on top of the pdf and it allows you to open in ibooks or open with another app....
I've noticed that with some (company) ipads this black bar is not available.... probably this is a security setting of some sort? But I can't seem to find it anywhere...
anyone any idea what I need to change?
Thanks a bunch !

Its old code from the menu maker that I havent updated (bought their update).
Save your money. AllWebMenus are notoriously bad. You would be much better off replacing what you have now with a good CSS Menu.
Some CSS Menu Systems to look at:

Open with... shows uninstalled program

This has been nagging at me for quite some time now... I always thought that it was an issue with some far-out bit of gnome I'd never heard of, but I just removed 80% of gnome (keeping only a few applications and libraries needed to run them), and yet it persists. The problem, specifically, is that when I use Nautilus's right click menu and select "Open with...", I am presented with the option to run an application using Wine. I no longer have Wine, however, and it's begun to really bother me. How, exactly, do I go about removing these little treasures from my context menus?
(In short, "Silly context menu, I no longer have Wine." Watdo.)

Well, then. There went 15 files I'd never realized existed. Thanks! I had no clue about any local .desktop file store, even though I've been through .local countless times.

When i use IE9, i go to my emails and any pics in the mail open with the mail but with FF i have to download them is there a way to make the pics open in the mail, i set yahoo to load images automatically in the options menu this has had no effect, thanks

some pictures(jpeg or gif) come as part of email if i use IE9 these images open as part of the mail, but with firefox i have to download them separately and then they don't appear in email. i have been in the options menu and allowed yahoo.com to automatically load images but this has had no effect, thanks

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Skype won't open with my mail user account

When I got my MacBook Pro, I transferred all my user accounts and applications over, including my Mail accounts. Now when I try to launch Skype, it appears to be opening, I see all my contacts but then the application quits.
I had 5 minutes at the Apple Store advice desk and they had me create a completely new user account. When I switch to this account I can login to Skype. They thought it might have something to do with authenticating online and that being blocked.
Any idea what might be the problem when I try to login with the account I actually want to use? Could part of it be corrupted? Any idea what I might try to get rid of or clean up to make Skype work?
Thanks.

I meant "main" user account (not mail user account). thanks.
