Playing dvds with vlc ... no right-click and 'open with vlc' option???

i searched discussions for this question but wasn't sucessful ... so here's my question:
i use a toshiba pc laptop and an iMac G5 ... in order to watch dvds (with different region codes) on my PC, I use VLC with great success ... I wanted to do the same on my iMac, but came across the following problem:
when I want to watch a DVD on the laptop, i simply right-click the title and go for 'open with VLC' (which gives me the menu and so on) ... when I try to do this on the iMac, however, there is no
'open with VLC' option when I right-click the DVD ... I can open single chapters of the DVD by opening the single .vob files, but I'm not happy with doing that ...
any ideas how to make watching DVDs with VLC on my iMac as easy as it is on my laptop?
thanx for your help!
2.1 GHz iMac G5 1.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

found the solution by myself: open vlc, open the playlist and drag the dvd onto the playlist, then hit play ...

Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
To manually associate a file format with an application:
In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main website, like google.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main window, like google.
This does not happen when opening in a new window (shift+click).
It was never a problem in older versions. I now have ff 3.6.17. I' afraid to install ff4 because everytime i do so (install e new version) something i liked dissapears or good add ons dont work anymore!
I also don't like the fact that more and more of the adress barr is beïng used for crap i don't need. I'm a visual handicap and need all the space i can, just to read.
Thanks for helping me out.

My own problem not a system one

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

Links on websites will not open unless I right click and open in new tab/ window

This just started yesterday. Whenever I go to a website I am unable to just click on a link on the page and be directed. When the mouse goes over the link the info appears in the bottom bar but when I click nothing happens. In order to navigate to the link I have to right click and open in a new tab or page.
Please help on fixing this issue.
Thanks!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I'm getting a 400 and 404 error when going to a known good web site. However, right clicking and opening Firefox as administrator, it works & I get no error.

same user account, same session - running Firefox as a standard user, there's one particular website where I get a 400 and 404 error. Closing Firefox then reopening by right clicking and running as administrator it works. Why? I have no extensions and all add-ons are either up to date or if not, have tried disabling with no resolution of problem.

Cannot open images with cc2014...click on open with and cc2014 is not an option

Cannot open an image with cc2014 when right click on it in Windows 7....also cannot use photoshopCC as an external editor in ProShow producer

Surely the Adobe forums are the place for help with Adobe applications. The fact that the problem doesn't occur on your daughter's machine suggests that it's not an issue with Mavericks but a local problem on your own machine.

Mac OS 10.5.6 downloaded Firefox 3.6.13 Came as .dmg When I try to launch it says "Not Recognized". Right click for "Open With" refers me to Disk Utility when same results "Not Recognized"

About my Mac > G5 Desktop OS 10.5.6
Want to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.13
The download comes as a compressed file in .dmg format. When I attempt to launch the .dmg file to decompress I get a error message that says: The following disk images failed to mount: Image > Firefox 3.6.13 Reason > Not Recognized. When I right click to see what opening app it is directed to it says: Open with "DiskImageMounter (default). Disk Utility is offered as another opening resource when I direct the file to Disk Utility and go to Menu Bar select "File" then select "Open Disk Image" (or Cmd + "O") I get the same result. Have tried downloading the file twice more and get the same results

Vk2mh it sounds like the download was not complete or corrupted. Where are you downloading the update from? Have you tried downloading again?

CS2's Tricky Right-Click (Windows Open With... Has No Illustrator Listing)

I've seen several people ask about this and have had the problem myself. I've seen few answers and most that have asked seemed to have sought help elsewhere or given up. Having solved it with a little hunting and digging around for info, I thought I'd share what I've learned. I know this is a half-decade-old issue, but I had it today and I'm sure I won't be the last. Hopefully somebody else out there can benefit.
Problem: Upon installing the CS2 suite, Illustrator is not listed as an option for opening files in the contextual/right-click menu within Windows Explorer. (Generally applies to PDF filetype, but should work for others if the issue comes up.) Attempts to add Illustrator result in error messages or non-response from the Open With dialogue.
Solution: This solution will require editing your registry. Registry files are very critical to the inner workings of Windows and if you're not sure about what you're doing, please ask an advanced user (or admin/I.T. dept. if you're on a work computer) for assistance.
First, be certain that Illustrator and any other program that can open your PDF files are installed properly. (Photoshop, Acrobat and Reader will do, for example.)
If PDF is already associated with another program, you can skip to the next step. In Windows Explorer, select your PDF and right-click on it. Select Open With... then pick any program. (Actually, even a program that can't open PDF's should work for this process, but you may have unnecessary difficulty.) See that the checkbox to always use the selected program is turned on. Click OK. You may close the program after it opens.
Now you'll need to retrieve the complete path to Illustrator. One easy way to find this is to locate the program listing in your Start menu, desktop, wherever it is. Right-click that icon and select Properties. You do NOT want the path that's listed under Location on the General tab. On the Shortcut tab, select and copy the path listed in the Target field. You do not need to copy the quotation marks, if there are any.
Next we need the Registry Editor...please do heed the warning above before proceeding. Click on the Start menu, then Run... In the Run pop-up (the Start\Search box in Windows 7 also works) type regedit then click OK.
You should now have a window with what look like folder branches on the left-hand side. These folders are called keys. If you only see one item marked Computer, click the plus sign or arrow to expand the list. There will be one key labaled HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Expand that as well. You should get a VERY long list that begins with * and proceeds through many file extensions and other items. Scroll down...way down, past all the items that start with periods and other special characters. We're looking for the P section, which in my list is about 3/4 of the way to the bottom. Expand the key labeled pdf_auto_file. (There is a .pdf item higher in the list. Keep going if you're there.)
We are now at: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pdf_auto_file
Expand all of the keys inside pdf_auto_file. There should be one named shell, holding edit and open, each of which holds a final key named command. Inside each of the command keys should be one item that shows on the right-hand side. That item (this is called a value) is named (Default) and you'll notice the data within holds the path to the program you selected earlier. This is what we need to change, iniside both command keys.
Double-click the value name (Default) or icon. A window will pop up named Edit String. In this window, note the Value data containing the program file path. This is usually surrounded by " and " "%1 ". Select only the path between the quotation marks, ending in exe. Now paste the path you copied earlier for Illustrator. Take note that the complete string looks similar to:
"E:\Adobe\CS2\Adobe Illustrator CS2\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe" "%1"
Click OK to close the box, then go to the other command key and repeat the replacement for its data value. Close that box and you should be finished editing. You may close the Registry Editor now, as well as any other windows you don't need.
In Windows 7, this was pretty much all I needed to do. Earlier versions may or may not need rebooting Windows to update the active system. I've now got Illustrator as my default program for PDF's and it's available in the Open With... window should I chose to change my mind a couple times. The PDF icon even updated itself.
Should you need any details explained further, drop a reply...I think I'll get a notice, though this is my first post here. If I don't respond very soon, feel free to e-mail my nickname @aol.com to remind me. Good luck!

In XP Pro, not there to be 100% sure, that "open with" already has Illustrator CS3 listed and no version 10, the opposite of what Bridge shows.
I'll try it, just in case that helps update Bridge.
Thanks

Every time Firefox opened

Hello.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
Also, remember that you can simply middle-click any link or interface button to open it in a new tab. Middle-click is the mouse wheel, just press it down. Or the middle button of the mouse, if you have one of those. Of course, there may only be two keys, and middle-click may be impossible, but just so you know, middle-clicking links is the faster way, and how everyone does it, basically.

Right click jpg Open With Problems

I do a right click on a jpg file and select Open With. I get the spinning ball that just spins and spins. Other extensions work. Using Lion
Any hints?
Thanks
Mike

Jim,
Since getting my Mac Pro, and keeping multiple boot drives in it, I have found the behavior with Mail to be different than with the Finder itself. This was the case in Tiger, as well as now in Leopard. The Finder will offer the best choice on the current boot drive, but if another version of the same application exists on another hard drive (whether a boot drive or not, and including external hard drives) then will offer that version, as well.
Mail on the other hand simply offers every possibility, even where the versions are the same, but unfortunately does not alert you as to the source of each (which drive, as an example). This behavior is purposeful, I believe, and not an indication of anything wrong, but inconvenient. But the 13 offerings was not normal!

IE-unable to right-click and open new tabs

When I'm recording IE7 on Vista with Captivate 3--I'm unable
to right-click a link on a webpage and open the link in a new tab.
Right-clicking in the history or favorites window to open the link
in a new tab does not work either.
Anyone had this problem or know of it or have any ideas about
anything I can do about it?

Hi arlhoolie,
I am not sure what the cause of the problem is, but it seems
to me you could work around this by capturing the opening of the
new tab using the keyboard shortcut method and then fix it in
Captivate when you edit the project.
To do this, you would change the caption so it mentions right
clicking over the link instead of the key combination. You would
probably have to move the mouse and highlight objects so they are
positioned over your link. If you need to show the right-click
context menu you can capture that using Print Screen or SnagIt and
then pop that into Captivate as an image. This way you would have a
slide that shows the mouse moving over the link and "right
clicking". The next slide would show the context menu and clicking
the 'open in new tab' menu item. The last slide would be the one
you already captured showing the new tab.
This method works pretty fast for me, though of course, it
may be easier and faster for you to try capturing it through
virtual pc or other methods.
IHTH
