'Open with' window displaying applications twice

When right clicking on an icon / file, either directly on the desktop or in finder, and selecting 'Open With' I am getting a lot of applications listed twice, directly on top of each other. For example
Photoshop CS
Photoshop CS
Firefox
Firefox
This seems to have started since I upgraded to Tiger.
It seems to be picking up those programs in my main application folder twice.
Any ideas?

  • How do I change the "Open with Windows Wordpad Application (default)" for a DOCX file to I guess, Microsoft Word?

    I think the "Wordpad Application (default) got entered some time ago while trying to open a DOCX file. I now have a compatibility pack downloaded for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Formats for my Office 2003 and I think I could open a DOCX file now but can't get this Wordpad application removed and changed to another application to open it, which I think would probably be Word or if someone has another suggestion.

    I can't get "Use Microsoft Word (default)" to appear as an Action option. Only Windows WordPad application, Media Center, Internet Explorer, iTunes, Media Player Classic, Nero, Windows Photo, Picasa, Windows Calendar and wWindow Media Player appear as choices. I don't know how to add Microsoft Word as a choice. Maybe the second part of the instructions in your reply "Adding download actions" would solve this but I don't understand the instruction starting with #1. I don't know how to go about doing what it says to do.
    I don't think it makes any difference, but I do have Office XP instead of 03 as I stated in my first question.

  • Finder Open With Lists Some Applications Twice

    My finder>open with menu lists some applications twice.
    A minor annoyance I'd like to fix.
    Example: If I choose a JPG file and go to "open with" the following programs are listed twice: Firefox, QuickTime, RealPlayer & Safari. Some other programs are listed once.
    There are NOT two versions of these programs on my computer, but there is the System folder from my old Mac.
    Is there a way to fix this little problem?
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   17 inch

    The mac finder will pick up applications anywhere on your hard drive when you do the "open with".
    If you aren't using your old System Folder you could create a .zip archive of it and remove the original Folder.
    I'd be open to hearing other approaches, but this will work.

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?

    If you're using the 32-bit version and still having issues, you may need to repair or reinstall Office so that the underlying Office DLLs (on which those browser features rely) are clean.

    You might be using 64-bit Internet Explorer. Switching to 32-bit IE caused the featured to become enabled. There was absolutely no indication in the application that this could possible be the cause. It was a shot in the dark.

  • Open With Windows Explorer very slow

    I am trying to troubleshoot an issue where some users of our SharePoint environment have problems using the open with windows explorer option in a document library.
    For some users this works fine...  the explorer opens quickly and they can manage the documents.
    For other users it takes up to 5 minutes before the explorer view opens.  During this time the browser becomes completly unresponsive.
    As part of the troubleshooting process I tried taking the UNC path that is shown in the explorer view and tried using the Start -> Run and then entering in the path.   This seems to cause the complete desktop to freeze until the explorer window displays.
    This is occuring on Windows XP SP Pro SP2 with both IE6 and IE7.   The desktops are on the same domain as the SharePoint servers.
    Any thoughts on next steps?

    I had similar issues with WSS 3 and MOSS 2007.  Some users would experience slow load times when using IE8. 
    A. The authentication fix for Microsoft included the following:
    In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > WebClient > Parameters, add a new Multi-String Value named "AuthForwardServerList".
    In the Value data field, add one URL you visit, following by the SharePoint server FQDN on the next line.  Repeat for each URL you are having long wait times for.  In the end, you'll have something like:
    https://*.yourdomain.com
    sharepointservername.yourdomain.com
    https://otherspsite.yourdomain.com
    otherspservername.yourdomain.com
    The idea behind this is to explicitly tell WebDAV where to first go for authentication.  This cleared up the majority of access speed issues with SP and we were back to sub-second access.
    B. Occasionally that access would degrade for some reason for certain users.  Turns out to be MS updates that make changes to IE settings.  We go to IE Options > Advanced Settings tab and hit RESET.  Whatever RESET does fixed the speed
    issues with Explorer View.
    C.  Users who installed IE9 had major problems where access would take more than one minute to access these document libraries via Explorer View.  And that's one minute for every navigation click.  Double-click on a folder, wait a minute. 
    IE9 must have changed the authentication methodology for WebDAV since this was universally experienced for all IE9 users.  MS couldn't provide a resolution on this.  Our fix was to remove the IE9 update and revert back to IE8.  Everything
    went back to normal without having to make any changes to the Registry or IE settings.  Doh!

  • Unable to open X windows display

    hi
    I'm trying to transfer some very old PV-wave (visual numerics) routines into solaris 10 and I keep getting the following errors
    WTINIT: Unable to open X windows display.
    WwError: Unable to create top level shell.
    Now I know I haven't given much info here but I have a feeling that its simply that I haven't set some paths properly. Where does one normally call the X windows display from.
    Much thanks

    Hi
    Are you logged in to the machine remotely or locally?
    If locally, then you shouldn't need to change anything.
    There are two things that normally control the X display: the DISPLAY environment variable and the X authority. DISPLAY is usually set to [hostname]:0.0 (unless you have more than one display or are using an X server that emulates mutliple displays).
    For X authority, you can either use xhost, which is simple but poses security issues, or xauth, less simple but more secure. If you are safely behind a firewall, and you trust your colleagues, then "xhost + [hostname]" is the quickest solution.

  • "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

  • All my pdf scans open with  windows photo viewer what can I do to see them in Adobe Reader?

    all my pdf scans open with  windows photo viewer what can I do to see them in Adobe Reader?

    You can change the default program for opening files with the following:
    Set your default programs
    Open Default Programs by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Default Programs.
    Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
    Click the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default for.

    hi, sometimes big images could not open with photoshop.ı can open with windows but cant open photoshop.if ı try to open i am seeing a white image.is there any answer for this problem please.

    Just to assist those who might help you with this, please give the exact version of Photoshop CS6 you are running, for instance CS6 13.0.1.3.
    I had already asked for that in my previous post, but I guess you didn't quite know what I was referencing when I typed "exact version".
    Sorry, I cannot help you myself because I don't deal with that kind of 3D images, don't use Windows, and in all frankness I'm not quite following your last post.
    Also please give the exact model of your graphics card, so they can check whether it is on the list of cards tested by Adobe.
    Thank you.

  • 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

  • Reverting files to open with the original applications

    I recently changed the default opening application for a few files that originally opened in Preview (certain JPGS) to open in Photoshop. I selected "use this application to open all documents like this". So of course, all JPGS now open in PS. I'm definitely not happy I did this, because now every time I pull a photo off a web page or take a screen shot (my default screen shot settings are JPGS), they will now open in Photoshop which is not what I want. I would like to have them open in Preview the way they used to. But, if I now select "use this application (Preview) to open all documents like this" for these files, all my Photoshop JPG documents will open with Preview. So, my question is, is there any way to revert things back to the way they used to be - screen shots and web photos automatically opening with Preview and all my Photoshop JPGS still opening in Photoshop?

    Copied from the link I provided.
    * com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
    where nnn is the uid number, as listed in the NetInfo database, of the affected account.
    You can find the uid number for any account as follows:
    1. Launch NetInfo Manager, which is in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
    2. Select users in the middle column of the NetInfo Manager window.
    3. Select the desired user account in the right column of NetInfo Manager.
    4. The data for the selected user, including uid, is displayed in the lower pane of the NetInfo Manager window.

  • Restoring option with save as/open with window...

    When saving a file from the interwebs I used to be given the option open with/save as with a box to tick to "do this everytime". I accidentally clicked the box when saving as so now it does this everytime. I'm sure it's pretty simple, and feel really stupid asking as this sort of thing is usually easy enough but I now can't get the option back, I am now defaulted to "save as" everytime. Is there something simple I'm overlooking?

    Maybe, you can fix this problem by changing default action/instruction for required file type using special tab in option menu (sorry, I have no english Firefox version and can't name it exactly, but it must be something like "Applications", a tab near "Privacy", the 4th tab in "Options" (Mb, "Preferences") window).
