Resetting Default Applications

Just got a new Quad. While I was setting up Tiger, I mistakenly told OSX to use Microsoft Word as the default application to handle .sit files. Of course, I meant to use Stuffit Expander. Does anyone know how to change this?

I just found the answer to my own question. If anyone else is having similar issues, go here (http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/), download this (RCDefaultApp), and all your problems will be solved.

Resetting default application to "Pages"

When I open a downloaded document (usually originally a Windows document), and click on it, somehow it is always opened in "Open Office" a slow and cumbersome word processing app that translates MS documents and spreadsheets well but is too sophisticated most of the time, so I only want to use it in rare cases when all else fails.
Instead, I want "Pages" to be my automatic default app for such things. How do I reset default applications, in this case to "Pages"?

Select it in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, click on Open With, and change it.

Reset Default applications for file types

Hi:
How do I change which applications open when I double-click a particular file type? For example if I want Pages to open up .docx files instead of MS Word. How do I set that up?
Thanks
Janet

Highlight any .docx file by clicking on it once and then press Command+I. Under the Open with section, click on the drop down menu and select Pages. If Pages isn't a choice, then select Other at the bottom, navigate to the Pages app and select it. Then click on the Change All button.

My default applications keep resetting

For a little while now (but crucially not since I first purchased my MacBook) my default application settings are resetting themselves. I use Adobe for PDFs, Adium for chat and BonEcho (Intel Mac Firefox build) for the web, but I am constantly being asked if I want to set these applications as default when I start them up.
Does anyone know why my system isn't retaining my default application change? More importantly, can anyone think of a way I could fix this once and for all?
I'm reluctant to delete Safari, iChat and Preview as a fix, so if this could be avoided, then all the better.

TextEdit is the default application for my Numbers documents

Although I did not set it to be, TextEdit is the default application for my Numbers documents. It was not always this way, but it is now, and I can't seem to change the default application back to Numbers ('09). For example, when I double-click any .numbers document, I always get the following error message:
The document “xxxxx.numbers” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format.
See: http://screencast.com/t/P5OSAJAq
Therefore, whenever I want to open a.numbers document, I must drag it to the Numbers application icon or right-click and select “open with” and select Numbers from the list of applications. Although this works fine, it creates a couple of extra steps that I would prefer not to do
My first inclination was to “Get info” and change the “open with” back to Numbers for all .numbers documents.
http://screencast.com/t/TMJwBmTOkHN
http://screencast.com/t/LAnPsbeGdB
However, selecting Numbers as the default application will not persist after clicking “change all.” Rather, it reverts back to TextEdit. Tony, this is the only way I know how to select the default application for a document type.
Is there another location where I can set/reset the default application?
Thanks!

I guess that there is at least one database used by the Operating System which is corrupted.
Run a maintenance application : MAINTENANCE is a free very good one available thru :
www.titanium.free.fr/
and ask it to repair permissions,
delete caches
repair database Launch Services.

"change all" unavailable to change default application

I've been irritated that Preview constantly wants to open all of my image and PDF files. I've had to manually change the default application for each individual file (not fun when I have hundreds, possibly thousands of these files). I did a search to see how I could select Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat as my default applications, and discovered that there is supposed to be a "change all" option available for the "get info" window. I do not have this option at all.
I did the obvious things: I selected "other" under the "get info" dialog, and the application I wanted the files to default to. "Change all" did not appear. I tried the forum's advice and reset my launch services, to no avail. I've tried Disk Repair, and still the same issue.
I'm running 10.4.8 on a Dual 2Ghz G5 (pre-Intel), and Adobe Photoshop CS2 (9.0.2) and Acrobat 7.0.8. Also, the version of Preview I have is 3.0.8.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Change All is a clickable button that should appear below the drop down menu from which you select the desired application. If the button does not appear then perhaps you have a corrupted installation of OS X and should consider doing a fresh installation.
In addition to doing Disk Repair your should also Repair Permissions.
As an alternative you can download a freeware preference pane called RCDefaultApp which is used to set associations for applications and many other defaults. You will find it at www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.

Nokia 6700 default applications

Since updating my 6700 classic phone to firmware V07.60 my default applications have stopped working. All I get is a message saying "Supportive File. Nothing to display".
I have tried resetting the phone and reinstalling the firmware but I still get the same problem.
Does anyone know where I can download the default 6700 classic apps, in particular Converter, World Clock,and Brain Champ?

You might want to reflash the firmware. If you do not know how, go to your Nokia Care Centre.

Default application settings loses on restart or LaunchServices problem?

Hello,
Problem:
After doing this tutorial:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428. I have a problem with default application settings (file association). In other words, file function "Open with" is empty. I chose default app for specific file type, do function "change all" (or just start specific application) and everything works fine. Files are associated whit that app. But after restar (or shutdown) every association is reset to none (open whit also empty). FileVault is off.
So after restart I must to associate files whit programs manual, or launch all programs.
What I tried:
Deleting com.apple.LaunchServices.plist - no help
Script run in Terminal: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed - works, restores default applications and Open with list (but only till restart)
Onyx app - no help
MAINTENANCE app- works after first restart, after second restart the same problem
RCDefaultApp app- no help
Please any advice?

Finder cannot open HOME folder - "There is no default application specified

HELP! Starting this morning, after a reboot, Finder will not open my home folder. If I open a Finder window and try to open "jen" which is my wife's home folder (and what we're logged in as) Finder says "There is no default application specified to open the document Jen". If I go to this folder through Macintosh HD->Users->Jen I get the same message.
If I click on this folder in the Finder window it doesn't show an arrow indicating that it is a directory and under the "Preview" pane, it shows the house icon, but says the "Kind" is a "Package" (??).
HOWEVER, everything else still works. The desktop is populated. All the applicatiosn like Itunes and Iphoto find the photos and songs.
If I go into Utilities->Terminal and use the bash shell I can see that the /Users/jen folder IS intact and all of the files are there.
Is this some type of Finder damage?
Ideas on how to fix?? I'm a Windows and Linux expert, but pretty new to Mac, so I'm perplexed.
I thought maybe a permissions issue, and I tried the disk utility->Repair disk permissions and that didn't help.
This is what the "jen" folder shows for permissions and attributes in the bash shell:
cd /Users
ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 28 jen jen 952 Dec 21 09:38 jen
I MIGHT have injected this problem, because I was having a problem where I could not see volumes on the desktop when I double clicked a DMG file (it worked before), and I was playing around with a few DMG images, and I tried one on the Apple website called dragster which said it changed Finder and then I uninstalled it. I think the problem started after this.
I THINK everything else is fine, from what I can see.
Help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Greg

For those who may hit this problem in the future, I figured what my solution was, and called Apple support and they confirmed it was my best option. To fix it:
1. In NetInfo Manager, enable root access.
2. Log off.
3. Login as root userid with the root password (make sure you set one in NetInfo Manager)
4. As root, copy the folder, which Finder thinks is a 'package' to a backup drive or if no backup drive then some other location outside of /Users.
NOTE: I found if I clicked on the Users/<userid> folder once to highlight it in Finder, then under the gear icon chose "Open Package Contents" it would launch a finder window and show you all of the files in the users folder - that way you could grab them and copy them over if you wanted to do it that way, but dragging the 'package' over works fine too. One other option, in the bash shell IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE:
cp -R /Users/<userid> <backupdrive>/<backupfolder>
5. Once you are sure you've backed up the damaged users folder, go into System Preferences -> Accounts. Delete the damaged users userid. When it prompts you if you want to delete immediately, you should probably not click that but instead click the button to create a backup image of the users home folder. This will create an image in /home/Delete_users/<userid>.dmg that is a another backup of the users data. Then the /Users/<userid> data is deleted and the account is gone.
6. Recreate the user account, setup the same settings as you used before.
7. Copy the data from the backup drive/folder to the new /Users/<userid> folder. You don't have to copy all of the data back, just the users settings and personal files. You can find info on what is users personal folders vs control folders elsewhere. I guess if in doubt copy it all back over.
8. Next, you need to give the userid permission to their files since they will be set to be owned as root since root copied them out and back in.
In Applications->Utilities->Terminal
chown -R <userid>:<userid> /Users/<userid>
So I did:
chown -R jen:jen /Users/jen
That sets jen to be owner of all files and folders under /Users/jen
9. Logoff as root.
10. Login as the once damaged userid. It should work, all settings should still be intact, and you should have a normal 'home' folder you can get into through Finder.
11. Go into NetInfo manager and under the 'Security' menu 'Disable root access' to disable the root userid again.
12. Keep your backup of your home folder for a while until your comfortable everything has been restored.
There MIGHT be an easier way to reset this, maybe with some AppleScript, but I don't know it.
There you go.

Default Application for .cbr and .rar Files

Okay, I know to change the default application used for opening a file you click on "Get Info", and then "Change All". A couple of weeks ago, the default for .rar files was UnRarX, and the default for .cbr was Jomic. I used Onyx to do some clean-up (repair permissions, etc), and the default program changed. Now whenever I change the default program for either .rar or .cbr, the other changes as well. I know that a cbr is technically a rar file, just for comic books, which is why I need it to open in a different program, I can't figure out how I got it to work before, can anyone help?

Reset Defaults

Hi, I'm new to DreamWeaver and web design but am currently
taking 3 web design classes. I have had lots of computer support
and programming classes and lots of hardware and software
experience so far so I am not a complete novice. With that said, in
one of my DreamWeaver MX2004 Design and Application book lessons,
it had me tangle up all of my panels, (put some on the right, float
one in the middle, move tabs out of one and rename one or two. I
have looked through every button and menu item in DreamWeaver MX
2004 and don't seem to be able to find a "Reset Defaults" button
anywhere. Is it true that there is no reset defaults button, or is
there some other way for us novices to reset things? I did go to
the DreamWeaver update page and found a link that works similar to
"windows update" and reset everything as well as getting some bugs
fixed.
My question is, is there a reset defaults button anywhere in
DWMX2004?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Look under Window from the tool bar.

Change Default Application For "All" Isn't Permanent

Hi,
I attempted to search for this problem in the forums but don't have time to drill down and that's why we are all here anyway (i.e. to help each other) so here goes. When I change the default application by clicking "open with" and then specify Adobe Reader and then click the "change all" button, PDF's will open with Adobe Reader until I reboot. Then I have to repeat the entire process.
What am I missing? I have done this like 30 times & can't find any documentation that describes the issue. I Googled the issue but didn't get any hits so I'm not sure if it's a known glitch or if I'm just being a blonde.
Thanks

PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Try your steps one more time if needed.

FileVault Bug - default application settings

When i activate FileVault, the system resets the 'default application settings', such as default browser, and defaults as to what applications open what file types, after reboot. So when i choose Firefox as my default Webbrowser, after one reboot Safari is the default broswer!
This is very bad for people those want not use Safari or Mail etc...!
Is there any work around?

Check this thread, I have the same problem and I hope the hints here help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5981050#5981050

How to change default application associated with some mime types?

When we install some new program, for example GIMP, I assume the newly installed program is added to some mime type database, and the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache file is automatically generated.
Using my example, GIMP will be the default application for all its registered mime types, even application/pdf. I surely don't want this to happen, and I surely don't want to create all kinds of files that GIMP registered and right click on them and choose Properties and then change it in the Open with... tab. I want to systematically de-prioritize GIMP so that it will not override my previously assigned default applications.
I wrote a script to modify the mimeinfo.cache file, and it seems to work great. However, after a reboot or upgrade or something I didn't notice, the default application of application/pdf is reconfigured to GIMP. I think the cache suffix of the file indicates that it is just a cache and may be changed by system unnoticed. So I am looking for a new way to change the default applications.
As far as I know or guess from the phenomena, there should be some system utility that generates the mimeinfo.cache file, it seems to parse all the *.desktop files under /usr/share/applications and register them to certain mime types accordingly. The sequence of the *.desktop files get parsed seems to be related to the time the application is installed, and the newly installed applications seems to be parsed later and inserted in the front of the application list or be parsed earlier and appended to the application list. Is there some place I can change the sequence of the parsing? Or is there some place I can change the behavior of the system utility?
I know that I can populate my ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list to override the system wide defaults, however, I want a more elegant way to this.
Any opinion on this is welcomed.

Ah, right. Don't know what DE you are on, but in Gnome: right-click a (e.g. pdf) file -> Preferences -> Open with.
All Applications listed there will be available from the right click menu, the marked one will be used on double-click.
errgrh...
I surely don't want to create all kinds of files that GIMP registered and right click on them and choose Properties and then change it in the Open with... tab. I want to systematically de-prioritize GIMP so that it will not override my previously assigned default applications.
I guess what I am trying to propose is this: "de-prioritize" GIMP in its .dekstop file for the types you dont want it to be associated with, and manually add it back in through "Open With" for the file types you want it to be an option. Not sure if this is solving anything for you though
