How do I disable Quicktime for being my default player for .avi files?

When I click on a .avi file, quicktime always tells me it's unable to open it because it needs a plugin. So I use VLC media player b/c it's hassle free. When I open an avi file, I select the "always open with" option when I choose VLC. Unfortunately, I have to do that for every single avi file I put on my computer. How do I get Quicktime to stop being my default player for .avi files only? I still prefer it to be my default player, but just not .avi files.

Thanks for the link. Is this perian prefpane all I need to maximize my quicktime experience? Basically, will I never EVER see a "quicktime can't open this..." message again? Can I delete VLC media player now?
Also, what the heck is the point of the Eject button in the top right corner of the keypad. When I tried ejecting the perian "disc" that I got from opening the .dmg, it didn't work. Is that button only good for ejecting actual discs from the cd/dvd rom?

How do I reset QuickTime as my media default player?

Hi,
I just installed RealPlayer 10, which I only use for watching BBC News clips.
Unfortunately, it has set itself up as my default player. How do I reset QuickTime as my default player?
I've already been into Real Player preferences and deselected the media types I DO NOT want it to play as default, but it persists in playing them as default anyway!!!
And I've tried uninstalling it and re-downloading it, but each time it just defaults to my default player!
If there is any other way to view BBC News clips on the BBC website, other than using Real Player (or, super worst case scenario) Windows Media Player, please let me know.
If not, how do I get QuickTime to be my default player whilst having RealPlayer for ONLY what I want!!!!!!?
Your wisdom and guidance will be gratefully received!
Cheers,
Martin

*Setting QT as default player:*
Open QT
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select QT for the files that you want to open.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”
==============
You did not provide a link to the specific BBC page. So I went over to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/videoandaudio/default.stm & noted that you have a choice of players---WMP or RP.
Since you do not want to use RP any longer, your only other alternative would be to use Flip4Mac if the page you were on gave you the same options.

"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types"

Getting ready for a deployment of version 9.2 of iTunes for 1400+ users.
Getting this error when a 'normal' user goes into Edit/Preferences of iTunes and makes no changes.
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I've elevated privileges of the C:\program files\itunes directory for this user to Full Control however problem remains.
Tried to modify the folder to remove 'read-only', as found this suggestion on here, but read-only keeps applying itself.
User has full rights to the location of the media as specified under Advanced Tab. If I tick 'Set as default media player' and remove tick and then click OK I do not get the error. From what I've read it's affected older versions of iTunes also.
Doe anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar issue. Turned out that - somehow - one of the directories or files in my iTunes music folder had gotten set to read only. Fixing it was easy.
Go to Edit/Preferences.
Choose the Advanced tab
in the General subtab select the contents of the box labeled "iTunes Music folder location"
Click Start, choose Run
Paste the location
Press the button to move up one level
Right-click the music folder, choose Properties
If this is your problem, the read-only box will be a solid color or checked. Set it to empty and choose the default "apply to folder and all subfolders and files." This will set everything in there readable, which after I did so I stopped getting the error.

Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
(I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
"The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

ITunes doesn't recognise iPod as the default player for audio files.

A few weeks ago my husband completely re-installed our laptop, without properly looking at how to backup my iPod touch. Everything was lost and I have had to start again, however the system still comes up with this message each time I plug the iPod in:
iTunes has detected this is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Program Control Panel to fix this.
I go to the Control Panel, but have no idea what to do.
Can anyone please help me?
I have not upgraded to version (4.0)
Thanks in advance.

Hello Geordie81,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure it wasn't referring to making iTunes the default application for audio files as described in this Apple support document? Worth a shot anyways.

Making Windows Media Player my default player for WMV files

I installed Flip4Mac and set it as my default player for WMV files. Now when I open large WMV files, I have to wait 10-20 seconds for them to load. I want to go back to Windows Media Player as the default player for all my WMV files - how do I do that? Thanks in advance!

Single click on a .wmv file and open the Get Info window.
Change the "Open with:" app and then click the "Change All..." button.

Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?

After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player. It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types." I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

Unable to locate a default player for iTunes audio files in Windows Vista

I previously owned a Compaq and saved my music in an external storage and worked perfectly. I then purchased a HP with Windows Vista and now am having problems with iTunes. The new computer indicates that iTunes has detected that is not the default player for audio files. It gives me a selection of file extensions, "iTunes music database files", "iTunes music store URL", "M3U Audio Playlist", "MPED4 Audio Files", and others in Windows Media Player. Which one should I select? Thanks
Joe

I created a config file (which is very handy in deployment and debuggin) that contains the class name and other additional parameters that is available in the optionsMap inside the LoginModule.
My Config file looks like :
DatabaseAuthenticate {
com.mahesh.research.jaas.auth.CLoginModule required debug=true database.userid="matest" database.password="matest" database.driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" database.url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@den-dev-2:1521:trexdev" ;
and i have an entry in the policy file
grant{
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*" , "read, write" ;
when running the application i specify the following VM Parameter.
-Djava.security.auth.login.config ="file:/D:/Research/Jb6/JaasResearch/config/login.config"
offcourse, the jar files in the classpath.
When i Create a LoginContext and call its login() method, Everything works fine.
you might wanna try this way and very important you need to specify all permission.
if you are running under Security manager , try switcing on the debug option as -Djava.security.debug=access.failure that should give a hint on where the problem is.
hope this helps

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

How to make Adobe Flash Player the default player for .flv, .f4v files?

I have currently installed from Adobe the following applications:
Adobe Bridge CS6 (64bit)
Adobe Bridge CS6
Adobe Dreamweaver CS6
Adobe Encore CS6
Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS6
Adobe Extension Manager CS6
Adobe Fireworks CS6
Adobe Flash Professional CS6
Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64bit)
Adobe InDesign CS6
Adobe Media Encoder CS6
Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64bit)
Adobe Prelude CS6
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Adobe SpeedGrade CS6
Adobe Flash Builder is not installed.
Adobe Premiere After Effects is not installed.
I've just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 13, but .flv files and .f4v files are not played by Adobe Flash Player. I've tried to make it default player but i didn't release which file .exe to browse for (by right-clicking and choosing Open with > Choose default program...).

There's a Flash Player Projector (standalone) in the Flash Professional CS6/Players folder, but it's usually outdated.
When browsing to an app to use from the Properties window, go there, but... download this one: Windows Flash Player 13 Projector and replace the Flash Player that's in that folder.
If you're looking to test Flash files you've authored, then you'll need the Projector, but if you're just looking for a good player for FLV and F4V, then you should use VLC Media Player. http://www.videolan.org/

How can I make the Windows Media player the default player for my browser.

I cannot listen to radio station WYSL 1040 AM on the web. They say that the default player on my browser must be the Windows Media player. How do I comply with their demand?

In Firefox it is the MIME type that determines which player is selected.
Install the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll), you only have the classic WMP plugin (Npdsplay dll)

Stop Illustrator from being default player for Flash .swf files

Please help. I am on Mac OS X. I have the Adobe CS suite. I
have downloaded, uninstalled, and reinstalled the flash player.
However, whenever I download a flash file to play, it automatically
opens in Illustrator. But Illustrator doesn't recognize it as a
file so it doesn't open. I went through preferences and I can't
find anything that will get it to stop doing that. I don't know how
to get to the preferences for the flash player to change that. And
there isn't a way have it open up in flash player because the flash
player is not an actual application that comes up in the
applications list. There is a certain website that it is mainly
.swf flash files that I have not been able to access because of
this problem. What do I do?

Have you received information on how to change this
situation? My SWF files always open Illustrator, also.
