"Open With:" option reverts to previous app, how do I fix?

Hello
I installed the CS6 suite today, but I still want Photoshop documents to default open in CS5. When I get info on a .psd, I can change the "open with" to CS5 and press the "Change All" buttn, but it reverts back to CS6 when I click the "Accept" button on the following dialog box:
Are you sure you want to change all your Adobe Photoshop CS6.app documents to open with the application “Adobe Photoshop CS5.app”?
Any ideas here? I don't know how to fix this.
Thank you.

HT1338 I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is starting slow and opening with some of the programs. How can I fix the problem?

I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is slow in starting up and loads a number of probrams. How can I fix the problem?

Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the slowness still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
Reboot normally and test.

Facebook freezes when trying to open with firefox but not other browsers, how do I fix this?

I have two users on my pc. The main user has no problem accessing facebook using his windows account and firefox browser. The second user, however all of a sudden, cannot access facebook with his windows account and firefox browser. Firefox freezes and says not responding. Other browsers, however work. I have loaded and run a windows registry repair which did not fix the problem. I have also run my virus scanning software. I cannot find an answer to this issue. Can someone please help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

How do i get the "open with" option back for pdfs after accidentally hitting the save option which now automatically saves any pdf?

Normally when I click on a pdf I would get an option to "Open With" or Save. I usually just opened pdfs first. I accidentally clicked on the Save option in this dialog box and now when I click on any pdf it automatically asks me where I want to save it. I want to get the "open With" option back, because I don't necessarily want to save a copy of every pdf.

Mountain Lion was released in 2012, so I suppose there might be advice in old threads or on the Apple forums if you don't get a response here right away.

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" 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

i cant open iphoto here, open with a circle turning show loading,how to fix it. help!! i nit to reopen it and keep my precious photo

What version of iPhoto?
If it's 09 or later try
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Which file is used for "Open With" option to get desktop shortcut to open webpage

I created a shortcut for a webpage but this does not work. I want to try the Open With option to create a link but do not know which file in Mozilla folder should be used.

See:
* [[How to make Firefox the default browser]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser

Mozilla should always give open with option while downloading any file

in Mozilla, when i click on the file to download the dialog box comes with the options of either opening it or saving it. say i get open with option when i click it, if i toggle to save it and go ahead with that process. Mozilla is remembering the last event, and showing me save it option selected when i click on download that file. i would want to set the mozilla config to have open with option selected for any kind of download in my browser. how to do this?

yes this is a way to keep giving me "open with" option for that type of the file. but still if user clicks save option. next time it will show save option clicked while downloading. am not sure if i have put the query correctly. is the problem statement clear?
the reason i want this is because my script which is automated script for an application, when download is clicked i want the open option to be enabled so that i just do a key down option. if it is going to be different everytime. i cant use this script.

Hi Baseballlifea5,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
Check to see if the developer has an iOS 7 update for their app first.

I have both Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 6 on my computer. When I am in Bridge and want to open an image by double clicking, it automatically opens in 6. I see, when I go to "open with" 6 is listed as "default" How can I change the default to open an image with a double click in 4?

You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
Do this from the Windows Desktop:
If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".

I work in schools and would like to know what if a school opens an iTunes account to purchase apps, how many iPads can the same app be loaded onto legally?

I work in schools and would like to know if a school opens an iTunes account to purchase apps, how many iPads can that app be loaded onto legally?

One iPad per purchase, assuming the iPads will be used by different users. If the school wants to purchase an app for multiple iPads, they have to have one license for each iPad. In the US, there's an academic volume purchase plan:

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.
