"Open with" menu displaying the same apps several times...

I've tried googling this several times but never really found a good answer nor a way to solve this (see image below)...
As you can see, the "open with" menu displays the GROUP OF APPS several times, not just the apps themselves... Funny thing is, this only happens when I navigate with the keyboard to the "open with" option, i.e., if I highlight it with the mouse a correct menu pops up...!
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
NOTE: This has happened to me since Leopard.

Ok, I will try your suggestion (reinstalling Snow Leopard), maybe not today or tomorrow since this is my work computer but when I have a little time off...
Just so you can see the "error in action" (the 'insert video' button was disabled, hence the link): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10042917/Error.mov
It's a screen recording of me trying to "open with" an image file 1st using the mouse and then using the keyboard (NOTE: if the first navigation in the menu is done with the keyboard, i.e., if you highlight "open" using the keyboard and then navigate to "open with" with the mouse I will still get the repeated menu while... in other words, the use of the keyboard always activates the repeated menu.)
Anyway, thank you for your help

Diplay Message with ABAP Planning Function (same message several times)

Hello experts,
I use a ABAP Planning Function (custom developed funtion type) to vaildate the planning data.
I want to display the validation results in a message box in the workbook. Therefor I use the Parameter I_R_MSG of the "Execute" Method.
This works fine, BUT
I want to display the same message several times.
Example (I want an output in the message box like this):
AREA1
Error Message A
AREA 2
Error Message A
Error Message B
The system merge the identical messages. And the output is this:
AREA 1
Error Message A
AREA 2
Error Message B
Can I avoid the automatical merge of identical messages in the monitor?
Thanks
Johannes

Hello Johannes,
I think the only way is to use a field for (e.g. MSGV4) to group the messages since the system compares
all fields msgty, ..., msgv4 to identify duplicates. So if your messages do not use msgv4 the above suggestion
should work.

When I plug in my panasonic videocamera iMovie doesn't recognize the videocamera (iPhoto does). I did the same operations several times in the past, I don't understand because is not working anymore...please

I don't understand why iPhoto recognize the pictrures in the videocamera and iMovie doesn't recognize the videos and the videocamera.
I see all the pictures taken in iPhoto but I can't see any video in iMovie because I don't see the videocamera in iMovie.
I did the same operation several times in the past and always worked it out, with USB connection, I've tryed to restart the computer, to turn on and off the camera, to change cable, to change MAC: always the same problem!
Please is anybody so kind to help me ? Thank you!

hi dlpmaster!
So, when it updates the program is working but then it sort of freezes. Then unfreezes and then again..
hmmm. what antivirus applications are you using?
as an experiment, does the freezing behavior still occur if you disable the antivirus prior to plugging your ipod in?

It's currently taking me ages to send multiple emails as I'm having to copy and paste the email each time. Does anyone know if there is a way that I can send the same email several times but that can be addressed (Dear....) to different people?

I am asked to select an app each time I attempt to open a linked file via a website. How do I tell firefox to use the same app every time?

I have a website; www.designed4submariners.com. On several pages, I have created links to images which are located in a upload file folder. Each time I click on one of those links on the active website (using Firefox as browser), a dialog box appears asking me: What should Firefox do with this file? Beneath the question is a pull down menu which has "TextEdit (defualt)" selected next to a radio button. The image file will open in a browser window when I select Firefox from that pull down menu. I can not tell Firefox to open all similar files using Firefox. How can I resolve this issue as I must go through the same process each time I attempt to open one of those links.

Your response identifies the issue exactly! My website is hosted by GoDaddy. I have forwarded your linked information to their tech department. The URL below my signature is the site having the problem I've outlined when attempting to access linked images.

Open-With menu displays two of every application

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, there are two of every application when I right-click to "open-with" a file.
I have followed directions found here, http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10043445
except one problem, I have no .csstore files in the Library/Caches folder, or any other caches folder on my computer (of which I am aware there are several)
I have also tried using Onyx 2.1, which has not changed anything related to this problem.

It sounds like LaunchServices.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Note: These are only cache files and harmless to delete. Let us know

Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display the same ghosting issue as the 15 inch?

I was thinking of buying a Refurbished MacBook Pro with Retina Display and heard that the 15 inch retinas have a ghosting problem. Does the 13 inch have this problem?

No

Are regular iPad minis and iPad minis with retina display the same size?

I am deliberating what case to buy, and i need to know if they are the same size, Thanks!

iPad mini Retina:
Height: 7.87 inches (200 mm)
Width:5.3 inches (134.7 mm)
Depth:0.29 inch (7.5 mm)
iPad mini:
Height: 7.87 inches (200 mm)
Width: 5.3 inches (134.7 mm)
Depth: 0.28 inch (7.2 mm)
Source: http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/
The depth (thickness) is the differing factor here. Most cases should work just fine. Some cases (especially the snap on back covers) *may* not fit because of the increased (.3mm/.01") thickness. The snap-on back (Best Buy/Rocketfish snap-on back shield) was a bit tight on my mini Retina but It was nothing I'd call a real issue. This is the type of case that may not fit or be tight because they wrap around the edges and snap onto the front of the mini's beveled corners. There is also an additional microphone on the iPad mini Retina. Original mini cases likely won't have this hole on the back. I don't know how critical that microphone is but in my situation, I simply drilled a small hole in the case back.

HT5622 i downloaded a book. howver it did not go through the 1st time - yet I was billed for the same book several times

i used Itunes to download a book
it did not download the 1st several times....and I did not get it
it finally went thru
but I was billed several times for the same book
how can I get the duplicate charges for the same book reversed?

Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption.

Does it matter if I call the same UDF several times in my mapping?

Hi !
I have to map one TXT file to an IDOC. One field of the source file is needed to define values of several IDOC target fields.
I've developed an advanced java UDF that receives the source field, calls an RFC via JCO to convert the source value, and returns the converted value.
Then I use this UDF as part of the graphical mapping, to define the values of about 10 or 15 fields of the IDOC. That is, the UDF is placed 10 or 15 times, one time for each target field.
My doubt is if this an expected way of solving this kind of problem..I'm worried about calling the UDF (RFC via JCO) about 15 times for each source file record...and they could be 1000 aprox !
I've added a trace, and a global variable, and inside the UDF, I check if the current input value is equal the last processed value, if it is that case, then I return automatically the buffered value (in a global variable), avoiding the call to RFC....
Checking my trace...I see that the UDF is called with several different input values in some random order, so my "optimizacion method" does nothing.
Some ideas?
Thanks. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Matias,
we had a similar problem, and we solved it using a java has table stored in the global container.
During the mapping program, every time a new source-value has to be look up, that value becomes a new key of the hash and the result of the RFC call (target-value) is stored in the hash table as the value corresponding to that key.
So this avoid the problem of random calls with different values and you can read from the hash table if a value already exists in the hash table before calling the lookup RFC.
We implemented this solution and it works like a charm
Hope it helps,
Kind Regards,
Sergio

Printing the same picture several time on the same paper

I use to be able to print the same photo on 1 paper , often to create ID photos but i cannot succeed anymore with the latest version of my i photo !!!! any help is welcome

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Once you choose your photo, paper size and print size you'll get this window. Now click on the Customize button and in the next window click on the Setting button and select the option seen in this screenshot.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Open a window in the same place EVERY time

I have a TextEdit document in a password protected .dmg. When I open the document, it opens in the middle of my screen, then I drag it out of the way to the far right side of the screen. I'd like to be able to open it on the right side of my screen from the get-go each time I open it. Can this be done?

Anybody care to chime in here?

Time Capsule backs up the same amount several times

Right now I'm using my laptop and for the past 3 hours, my Time Capsule has backed up 2.3GB. I'm just surfing the web!!!!. No idea of why it backs up the same amount while doing nothing

Welcome to the discussions!
Suggest that you download Time Tracker to find out what is taking up the space on your backups. Depending on how much data you have on your Time Capsule, it may take 5-10 minutes for everything to load the first time you run the program. You will be able to see exactly what is backed up on each run.
May be a program like VM Fusion, Entourage, Aperture, and others that backup their entire database whenever any small change is made. If that's the case, you can exclude that program from Time Machine backups and do this manually.
If you don't really need to backup each hour, you might want to take a look at Time Machine Editor to allow you to schedule backups whenever you like.
