"Open with" panel items

How do I remove old applications that I no longer have on my Mac from the "Open with" panel the appears when you use the "Open with" command? For example I have Adobe Reader 9.3.4 installed but I'm also given a choice of 2 other Reader versions, in addition to 9.3.4

No. but you can remove duplicates by rebuilding the LaunchServices database with this one-line command run in the Terminal app. Restart after running it:
*/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

How To Remove A Specific Application Name From The "Open With" Dialog

When you right click on a file you are presented with the "Open With" menu item and you are also presented with a list of applications that could potentially be used to open that file.
In my case, when I click on a file of type .mov I am presented with the name of an application that I want to remove from the list, because that application ( Miro.app (2.5.2) ) no longer exists on my system.
What is the best way to remove that application name from the list?

Ok, but how does one remove some of the applications that are appear in the context menu for a given file type? Is there an asc file which can be edited?
For example, in my system a PDF can be opened with over 10 applications. I would like to see just the three ones I use: Acrobat, Skim and Preview.
Thanks in advance.

Open with [Pages4.3] for ALL Pages docs not working

Hi there,
I am unable to set the default application for all PAGES document to open in a lesser version (Pages version 4.3) to that of Pages version 5.1 which came pre-installed on my machine.
The reason why I want Pages 4.3 opening on default instead of Pages 5 is because Pages 4.3 contains the features version 5 no longer has. I also wish to retain Pages 5 to open historical documents.
I am running OS10.9.5 with Pages version 5.1 (1769) as standard with the machine when I bought it. I copied to my machine the application Pages 4.3. It runs, I have no problem opening both copies of Pages.
I now want all my Pages documents to open in v4.3 as default (not v5). This is where I fall over.
1. I "Get info" on a Pages document,
2. In the "Open with" panel I select Pages 4.3 from the dropdown menu. Upon changing the application the "Change All" button is becomes active.
3. I click on "Change All" button and confirmation message appears (see image). I click "Continue" and the confirmation message disappears.
4. ISSUE - The default application reverts back to "Pages" (see image) which is the same selection as when I started (step 1)
(Note: I also selected "Other" from the dropdown menu and selected Pages 4.3 from the applications folder through the dialogue window, but without joy)
5. When I double-click the selected document (the document I selected in step 1) it opens in Pages 4.3. However, when I double-click any other Pages document it opens in Pages5, not Pages4.3.
I might add, others in my office, with varying OS (10.10, and 10.7) and Pages 5.5.2 have not had the same issue as I have. They followed the same process as above and in Step4, their selection of Pages4.3 remained as the dropdown value, not "Pages".
I would be grateful to hear from those who have had similar issue and overcome it. Many thanks

Hi stutteringfish,
was hoping for something more definitive... something more like what the feature "open with [for all]" is designed to do.
I am afraid not. That setting does not stick with Pages 5 (or Numbers 3).
My solution is to keep icons for the old and new versions on my Dock. Then I can launch whichever and Menu > File > Open (or Open Recent) from within the appropriate version..
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
Need newer version of Numbers to open file

Ian.

Duplications in "Open With" menu

Sometimes after I upgrade an application, the "Open with" menu item in the Finder lists this application twice. Curiously, it doesn't list the duplication in all accounts. Is there any way I can remove the duplicates?

Esaheiskanen, looking at the screenshot, I understand that it was removed properly.
You can simply go to >>>> Go> Utilites> Adobe Installer's and remove the CS6 App installed, Make sure you put a check on "Remove Prefrences" too.
Alternatively, you run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, to remove the CS6 Version.

Safari opens with advertisements

On my iMac, I am having multiple problems since install of Yosemite. First problem..when Safari opens, there is always some advertisement on the screen, and also keeps telling me to install Adobe Environment, even though that has been done., What's up?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

Customer/Vendor A/C with line item details and with opening and closing Bal

Dear Sir / Madam,
Is it possible to have a customer and / or vendor Sub-Ledger account-
with line item details and with opening and closing balance detail
for a particular period.?
Regards
Chirag Shah
I thank for the given below thread which has solved the same problem for G/L Account
Re: Report to get the ledger printout with opening balances

Hello Srinujalleda,
Thanks for your precious time.
I tried the referred T-Code
But this report is not showing Opening balance, closing balance detail.
It only gives transactions during the specified posting period and total of it.
Please guide me further in case if I need to give proper input at selection screen or elsewhere.
Client Requires Report in a fashion
Opening Balance as on Date
+ / - Transactions during the period
= Closing Balance as on date
As that of appearing for G/L Account by S_ALR_87012311
Thanks once again & Regards

Removing Items Finder Open With Menu

I'm looking for a way to delete items from the Open With menu in Finder/File/Open With. On my PowerBook there are over fifty items in this menu when selecting a JPEG file.
Maybe there is away.
I'm using a Panther drive 10.3.9

Photoscene-
I'm not sure this addresses your exact situation or not, but the following link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486#comments
suggests a method for removing items from the "open with" menu that shouldn't be there.
I have NOT tried the above, so use the usual cautions (backup beforehand, etc.).
Good luck,

Removing Items from "Open With" Menu

I have installed Adobe CS2 awhile back on both my computers. Since I have have done so. Selecting the "Open with" on a selected image file brings up a list of maybe 40 options. Constrain to 200 Pixels and all this other crap. Honestly, it's screwed up a few of my files by accidentally clicking on them. The program will open.. run the script and close. I just want help on getting these items of my list. without removing the apps.
Thanks alot!

Mike has the right of it. What I did was to make a list of all the droplets and store it in the droplets folder, then zip all of them except one I actually sometimes use. There is also a folder full of droplets for Image Ready. Should I ever want to see what's there for some batch processing I can consult the list, unzip, and use. Then toss.

Opening Balance to be displayed along with line items

Dear Experts,
Is there any way to display Opening Balance for a particular GL along with LIne Items. FS10N only provides Period wise opening balance and line items. If I have to select the line items for a GL in the middle of the period and see the opening balance, how is it possible. In FBL3N i am able to see only line items and no opening balance.
Any suggestions.......................
Raj.

Hello,
FS10N you will see the balance and then double click on that to see line item. Again at line items you will not see the opening balance. There is no such facility.
If you want period wise balances, then go with
S_ALR_87012172 report.
Regards,
Ravi

"The vendor account you entered is not associated with the item you are trying to open. Please try again". How do I fix this?

Digital editions is set-up and accepting books. Everything seems fine except when I try to open the books, it asks for authorisation. I enter the Adobe ID which works when I go into the Adobe site, but gives me the error "The vendor account you entered is not associated with the item you are trying to open. Please try again". How do I fix this?
