You should be able to fix that by rebuilding the LaunchServices database.
I use OnyX (Maintenance tab, Reset section).

I use Earthlink mailbox, and I want my email links to open with Firefox, but they open with Internet Explorer; how to fix?

I am using Windows XP 2002 operating system; Earthlink mailbox program for email with AT&T Broadband.
I want to have Firefox as my default browser, but my email links open with Internet Explorer. I have followed the Firefox help page to set Firefox as my browser, but the problem remains.
Do you know how to fix this? Is it a problem with Earthlink?

I have Microsoft Outlook also with Firefox and can open just about every link, url, company page, etc via the email links. First, make sure you have noted the email as NOT JUNK so that the links are activated by Outlook. Second, Firefox needs to your default browser for the links to open in Firefox rather than IE. There are some links from Microsoft that may ignore the default and open in IE but not all anymore. I have a Sony laptop which ignores the default browser and opens all of its support information from its VAIO software loaded on the computer in IE. Besides that though, over 95% of my items will open in my default brwser selection, which is currently Firefox.
Go to this link to make sure Firefox is your default browser.

Or this link to make any browswer of your choice the default.

Please help? Itunes will not open with Windows 7.

I have tried everything in the posts, etc and still can't get it to work. Any ideas? I'm not the most computer literate person so need pretty simple instructions.

1. Right mouse click the iTunes icon and select 'Run as Administrator'
Does it work now?
2. If not, check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you donot see ApsDaemon.exe file in task manager, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Two small but annoying 4.2.1 problems

I see some people are having really serious issues with WiFi and syncing and full-on device failure. The problems my iPod Touch is having are minor by comparison, but still annoying.
Problem 1 is the album art. I've never had any problems with the album art. But now there are some albums for which the art displays correctly when the iPod is on, but I'm listening in standby mode and hit the Home button, all I get is my wallpaper. The really weird thing is that this is happening ONLY to albums which I've tagged and added album art in iTunes SINCE THE 4.2.1 UPDATE. All the albums that were already on the iPod continue to display fine in both modes.
Problem 2 is videos tagged as TV Shows. They also always worked just fine, but since the 4.2.1 update not only can I not sort them by episode number, the iPod doesn't even seem to SEE the episode number - every video in the iPod is labeled "Episode 0". But all the info displays correctly in iTunes.
These problems aren't the end of the world, they're just annoying. But if anyone else is having these problems and knows how to correct them (or at least if they've been seen elsewhere and are being addressed by Apple) I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi there,
I've got a 3G 16GB and seem to have a similar problem. I've installed 4.2.1 and my GPS is not working. Triangulation is working, but I can't get a lock with the GPS. I've done some research on the net and it seems many are experiencing this. I've tried many suggested methods to fix it but nothing is working. If you find anything out please let me know! Is triangulation working for you?
Thanks!

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.

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.

We've seen this bug on machines running IE6 with a certain security patch (I forget its number). There's a thread in the Metalink reports forum about it. It appears to be somewhat tied to another problem where IE runs the report twice (you can see that in Showjobs. You're seeing the problem in 6i; I believe it persists in 9i.
The workarounds are (1) set Acrobat so it doesn't open within IE or (2) switch to a different browser, like Netscape. For workaround 1, Start Acrobat Reader, Choose File -> Preferences -> General, Uncheck Web Browser Integration
There's some evidence that it occurs more often with urls that include single quote characters. I think it's worse with XP, but I don't have any proof.
If you check Adobe's site, you will see this isn't just an Oracle Reports problem. I think we're waiting for Microsoft on this one, so don't hold your breath for a quick fix.

Please help me creating a new listener with different port#.

I have two instances in a server. both have different homes. I want to create a seperate listener for the second one i created.
But that is not happening.
here i tried to give name from LISTENER TO LISTENER1 & Port# from 1521 to 1524.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /apps2/oracle)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER1 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = aixth53)(PORT = 1524))
When I check lsnrctl status with LISTENER1 , it still shows the other instance home with port#: 1521
Please help me creating a new listener with different port#.
Thanks,

The listener is a broker only and doesn't play any role in normal communications.
It just forks a process or a thread, and that's it.And the listener is a single point of failure. Listener goes down, you can't connect to the db. That's why you need two listeners.If listener one goes down, then listener two goes down for exact same reason since it is a single executable file.I'm not playing tit-for-tat with you. Fact is, there are situations where people who are not you might want to use more than one listener.Some folks might want to jab a sharp pencil into their eye, too.
Just because you can do something, it does not necessarily mean it should be done.

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
to Rick:
I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
- Working Space: None
- Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
to both of you:
Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
So, would you have any solution for this problem?
Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

Form is filled on iPad then emailed. If form is opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible.

Form filled on ipad. When opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible- form is blank. Have been using this system for months with no problems.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

Apple does not sell parts.
Either get the entire device replaced under Out of Warranty exchange or take your chances with non-oem parts.

Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

Try quitting the music app completely and restart your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that didn't help - reboot your iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work, there may be a corrupt song in your Music app that you have to find and remove.

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.
