Open with only shows 10 Apps

Dear Community,
the open with menu does not show all apps that are installed on my iPhone4. There seems to be a limitation to 10 apps and I don't find a setting to configure which apps are shown. I'm running iOS5, but there was the same issue with iOS4.
Do you experience the same problem? Is there a solution? Is it a bug or a feature?
Thanks for your support

Yes, you can only see 10 apps in Open with.... It is not configurable. As the device is working to spec, there's not really a "solution". Sorry.

I have a document that I wrote today on my phone, went to open it again and the app kept crashing or it would only open half the file. Is anyone else having this issue? On the preview it shoes the whole file, but when I open it only shows a few paragraphs

I have a document that I wrote today on my phone, went to open it again and the app kept crashing or it would only open half the file. Is anyone else having this issue? On the preview it shoes the whole file, but when I open it only shows a few paragraphs. When I email the file it only shows a few paragraphs, but when I go to open it both on my ipad and iphone it crashes the app.
Everything is up to date.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

Contextual Open With Menu shows old non-existent Applications

Open With Menu: Shows multiple applications. It even shows versions of older applications that are no longer on my hard drive. And if I select these older version, those older applications launch! I've checked the About... menu selection on these older versions, and sure enough it says the older version. Example: I only have the latest version of Opera 9.24 on my drive, but 3 older versions, plus 4 of one of them show. I can click each one and they ALL launch with separate windows for each one.

I followed the instructions to trash <com.apple.LaunchServices.plist> file and Restarted and the menu STILL lists all the applications. I then checked the Prefs folder again, and the <com.apple.LaunchServices.plist> hadn't even recreated itself yet.
I'm totally stummped

I just realized that in my previous post I neglected to mention, that the problem has quickly returned. Sorry for any confusion.
Now after two tries, I notice that some .gif files have Preview icons others Photoshop. Some .gif files are listed to open with Preview, others with PS.
If I use Cmd + i on a wrong iconed file and scroll down to any other app, select it, let the icon change, then without doing anything else, scrolling back up to the default (Preview), the icon finally changes correctly. Change All is now available, but clicking it has no effect on any other files that have the PS icon. Some don't even change over from PS being the default app to Preview.
Same problem with .txt files. Some TextEdit, others Excel. So.. I am just changing them one by one, whenever I need to open one that is wrong.
At least the multiple apps in the Open With pulldown are gone
I'd sure like to know:
1) Why are my Library files corrupting and
2) Why is Dr. Smoke's fix creating icon problems
3) Out of the 1,000s of threads, I wonder what the possibility of the good Doctor ever finding this on and helping us/me find a total solution. Help us Dr. Smoke, we need youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Photoshop-When opening image without tab view, image opens with only a portion in view

I having an issue with CC.
When electing in the preferences to not open image in Tabs. The images open with only about 25% of the image area showing. Forcing me to (command) 0 for full to screen preview or (command) +/- to see the image.
I am not talking about seeing the image at 100% resolution just the entire image within the floating window without having to command before view.
Sidenote: Adobe Customer Service is all based in India. I spent 4 hours on the phone only to hear that this is that way photoshop works.
There would be no logical explanation for this. Since the first version of Photoshop this has not been the case.
I think this should be called view porn with wife in the room mode. Other than that I see no point.
Can anyone help?

My external hard drive will not open and only shows up in Disk Utilities. When I try yo repair it, it give me and error of invalid sibling link. How do I fix my external hard drive?

Invalid sibling link may not be fixable by Disk Utility. (Disk Utility is very conservative, and will not attempt repairs that might cause you to lose data.)
It is an indication of serious Directory damage.
that leaves
a) third-party Utilities that will take those risks, or
b) re-initializing the drive (which deletes all your data) and restoring from another backup source.
c) "Copying off whatever files you can salvage" has gone by, and you cannot copy anything off a drive that will not mount. You may be able to use "rescue" programs such as prosoft engineering Data Rescue to copy files to another drive, but that sounds a lot better than its reality. You may get many files, but not get ANY filenames.

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Titles don't open with the "show fonts" available, so I can't change the fonts or the color

How may I always open the titles so that they always open with the "show fonts" rectangle available on the top left corner. I am unable to change many of my titles, because they didn't open with that message.

It depends on what theme/title you choose. Not all of them are adjustable and you should exercise its possibilities as soon as you add them to your project. If you don't see the "Show Fonts" button on the upper left corner, you should choose another title if you so desire to change the default fonts or colors.

Application manager only shows 12 apps

Greetings,
I have creative cloud for my work. I downloaded my desired app on my mac. I have a pc at home and I started downloading some apps there, but was interrupted so I ended up not downloading them at home, my goal was to download pc versions overnight, I figured I could just copy the downloaded files to a flash drive and then take them to work and install/activate at work. On my work pc now, app manager only shows 12 apps, the ones that I started downloading on my home pc no longer show. on my mac, app manager indicates the apps that are already installed. my pc app manager simply doesn't show them. i understand you can have two seats and that is my goal. please advise.

Is your home PC 64-bit? If it is only 32-bit then Premiere Pro and After Effects will not show on the Apps & Services web page or in the Adobe Application Manager. Also Edge will not show if you are running Windows XP.
Sure would be good if a note to that effect appeared in the AAM and on the App & Services page explaining that to all 32-bit users.
Silence (and no appearance of a Premiere Pro or After Effects entry) just leaves them scratching their heads expecting them to work it out for themselves.
Any chance of the engineers adding that tweak to the Cloud? Then these questions will disappear from the forums.

Open in feature only showing 9 apps to open in...

On both my iPad and iPhone, I noticed that the "open in" feature, only lists the 9 apps to open the file with, if you have more than 9, the rest of the apps do not show and you find yourself needing to delete some apps to be able to show the app you were targetting...
Is this a bug or an iOS limitation? Am I the only one having this problem? And is there a way to overcome it, or at least get to choose which 9 apps to sow in the list?
Thank you...

It is a limitation, and as far as I know it's always had that limit. You can't edit the list of apps, though you may be able to alter it by deleting and re-installing apps. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

"Open With" menu shows multiple versions of apps I don't have installed

So I did an Erase & Install to get Leopard up and running but I did a full system backup to an external drive that I do have connected to my machine.
Right now when I do "Open With" in the contextual menu in Finder it apparently is not only listing the apps installed on my main drive with Leopard, but also the apps on the external drive.
How can I get those apps on the external drive to not show up? I have the drive set to not be indexed by Spotlight.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm referring to:

"Open With" - can number of apps be limited in list?

Any way to limit the number of applications that appear in the popup list when using the contextual menu item "Open With"? (It's not that I have duplicates showing.)
And... to be clear... this is not a "Get Info" > Open With question so as to bind a file type to a specific application, but just whether the list number can be reduced.
This has been bothering me for years, but since occasionally when the system is (apparently) searching for all of the most cryptic of apps that could possibly open a file the Finder does a SPOD and then the Finder crashes... I thought I'd finally post this question.
I've taken the time (over the years) to rebuild LaunchServices (via Onyx in my case) and trash cache files (via LeopardCacheCleaner)(i.e. com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore and com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore) but still the number of apps is problematic.
I even opened the LaunchServices preference files and looked at them in TextWrangler, but I don't see how the list can be limited to say... only 10 apps appearing.
Again... it is not that I'm showing duplicates, it's just that there are a lot of apps that I would never even remotely consider using to open a specific file.
And I've also read this thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2514597&tstart=60
...as well as others.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

*Launch Services* builds the list of applications that can open a particular file type from information that the applications provide. If an application indicates it can open the file type then it is listed. Once the application is registered, the system doesn't need to search the applications, it just looks at the LS database - rebuilding the database can clean up some issues, but apparently you have already done that.

When i want to open a file with "Open With" appears the same apps duplicated or quadruplicated

Hi eveyone. I need a fix on this. I´m running my MBA with 10.8.3 and in my donwload folder i have some files to check. Some .pdf, some .doc and so on.

How i fix this bug. Please advice. Thanks.

I have the same with Preview and Word. Only way to get rid of it is when you restart your Macbook.
