Set "default application language" in 11i

i want to know if there is a way to set the default application language for some users from the table level.
i know i can set it up from the preferences. but my requirement is to do a mass update of 5000 users.
the only thing i updated was the wf_local_roles table but that did not do anything.
i think i am missing some more tables.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Set default application for *all* users

Hello people, my 1st post here, so forgive me for possible imprecisions, ambiguity, inappropriateness....
When I search how to set/change the default app for opening some type of file I always find the answer "through the getinfo". But doing that, I only change the default application for the current user.
I want to do that for all users of my mac, without repeating the getinfo process for each of them.
Is there any adminstrative tools for doing that?
Thank you.

You could download and install RCDefaultApp 2.1 for all users: check the Read Me and then test it on something to see if it accomplishes what you want.

Setting default application

when I'm trying to open up a document or something it says something like "There is no default application specified to open the document (name of document)" . How do you set a default application and what should I set it to?
I have an iMac version 10.4.8

Tell me some of the names of these programs. What are the 3 letter suffixes (after the .)?
Examples: .sit opens with Stuffit Expander, .xls = Excel, .mov = Quicktime Player etc.
Most games run by themselves after you've installed them
Are these Mac games you've downloaded? Files ending .exe are Windows programs & require Windows XP SP2 to be installed through Bootcamp.

Setting default application (yes, i've seen previous threads on this topic)

This is a continuation of the thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4613912
which has been archived, and so could not be continued.
The problem with assigning default applications to open given file types persisted on my machine even after i had re-installed the Tiger recently.
But i think i might have an idea now what is going on: apparenly the file
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
is getting erased from time to time all by itself.
It is only left now to figure out why this happens, and how to fix it.

I checked the disc with Disc Utility and emptied caches with Maintenance.app.
Then i removed the files
com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
com.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstore
om.apple.LaunchServices.plist
(though i noticed that com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore regenerated after about 5 seconds).
Then i rebooted.
Then i went to a directory with 3 PDF files, two of which were assigned to Preview, and 1 to Adobe Reader (do not know why).
I set PDFView as the default application for one of the files assigned to Preview, and clicked Change All.
The icon of this file changed to the icon of PDFView, but the other two icons stayed the same.
Nevertheless, the default application of the other file assigned to Preview changed to PDFView, but the default application of the third file remained Adobe Reader.
I think this behaviour is a bug.
Anyway, i will try to keep an eye on these files, and will make a post once they change there default applications by themselves.

Setting Default Keyboard Language

I just acquired an PowerBook G4 and the thing is set to always turn on with the keyboard set to French language.
Once running I know how to switch between English and French settings (and we do use the French at times).
I would like to have the English keyboard as my default at startup.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi everybody,
Can somebody please enlight me where I can make
system wide changes to the default keyboard layout?OK, I have found out that I am supposed to reboot, cancel the boot process and enter what seems to be one or another system configuration utility. There I can change the layout to German and save the configuration with a name, for example "german'. Now what?! I can only enter the configuration details again with F2 or run the scan, there's no way to exit the the routine and use the fresh installation. When I reboot by doing ctrl+alt+del everything I saved is lost the next time I enter the utility.
I am pretty disappointed by the way things are handled in Solaris. Online documentation is pretty poor too. Compared to other common Unix platforms such as *BSD or common Linux distributions everything takes hours instead of minutes, all the defaults are set to the worst possible options, nothing can be found where it is expected to be found.
It would be pretty cool if there was a sample document that descibes these common troubles for people like me with a *BSD and GNU/Linux background.
Questions like;
How do I change the default keyboard layout?
Where can I change the default shell to BASH?
How do I change the PATH environment variable for all users?
and such should be answered.
So far I am miles away from a productive system and I'm already regretting Solaris before I have even used it because I wasted days just to install the bare essentials.
thanks,
Tobias

Setting default application to open .doc files

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the Info box. I can't seem to set all my .doc files to open with Word 2004. I have repeatedly opened an Info box on several different .doc files, and set them to Open With: Word 2004, and then had it Change All... But it never sticks, it always defaults back to Word 2008. I have both Word 2004 and Word 2008 installed. Maybe they don't play nice with each other. Or maybe they are messing with OS X 10.4. Any thoughts?
thanks.

Oh. Great discovery & thanks for the feedback.
UPDATE: I changed one .doc file to open with Word '04, and bingo it did! I tried it again with another file, it worked too. So it works if I use the Info box and change only one file at a time, but not when I Change All. hmmmm....
Oh I deduce...
When you change an individual file, X is inserting a pointer to the application to start. When you do a change all, X is changing the default application to start. X is not hardcoding the default to given application, but setting the default to an application id. In turn, the application id then maps to an application. When you install a later version of the application the application id gets mapped to the new application.
Interestingly, I rarely use the global change. I change only one program at a time. I was confused because I had not worked with multiple version of the same program. I use multiple programs to edit and view HTML.

Set DEFAULT spellcheck language

Running Ubuntu 13.04, firefox can't help but highlight every word red every time I type into a textbox, because the top entry in RIGHTCLICK>>LANGUAGES is "French". The others read, in order, "French (Belgium)", "English (United Kingdom)", "French (Luxembourg)", "English (United States)", "French (Swiss)", "French (France)", "English (South Africa)", "French (Canada)", "Persian", "Persian (Iran)", "English (Australia)". Now I don't deny that I may have gone on a splurge many years ago having discovered new languages' spellcheck. Whatever the case, I want to be rid of all but "English (United States)", "Persian (Iran)", and "French (France)", in that order, with "English (United States)" as the DEFAULT.
Unfortunately, the first option ("French") is the default, which means that every textbox I go to, regardless of what I chose in the previous textbox, the spellcheck language is reset to French. There are no firefox addons that would suggest a change in language, other than perhaps Ubuntu Firefox Modifications, Ubuntu Online Accounts, Unity Desktop Integration, or Unity Websites integration that I can fathom would change the default spellcheck language, nor any such plugins or languages. about:config shows spellchecker.dictionary as a user-set en_US, and EDIT>>PREFERENCES>>CONTENT>>LANGUAGES shows, "in order of preference", en-us, en, fa, and ar; though I don't think the latter is related to my problem, since webpages show in the correct language; it's just the spellcheck.

As it turns out, OpenOffice and Firefox both use the same spellcheckers, namely hunspell and myspell, of which I have the following packages:
* myspell-en-{au,gb,za}, which who knows how those got checked in Synaptic,
* myspell-fa and myspell-fr, which I added myself.
* hunspell-en-us
After uninstalling myspell-en-{au,gb,za} in Synaptic, my English spellcheck is only us (presumably from hunspell), as I would like. I didn't uninstall FA or FR because I would like them for both OO and ff. Since I won't need it in ff or OO, I also removed fr_{CH,CA,BE}.{dic,aff} from /usr/share/hunspell.
Finally, it seems that I was mistaken about the spellchecker.dictionary option in about:config, and that this does set the default value, as sites are now showing "en_US" as the default spellchecker upon right click. So philipp was right!
Thank you both for solving my problem!

[SOLVED] Unable to set default application to open files

Hello,
Whenever I try to set a default application for a file type (an avi for example) by right-clicking the file in Nautilus and choosing Open with Other Application, I can select the application (in this case VLC), check the Remember this Application checkbox and click Open, I always get the below message:
Could not set application as the default: Can't create user application configuration folder /root/.local/share/applications: Permission denied
I'm not logged in as root (confirmed with "whoami") so I'm not sure why it's trying to access the root home folder.
I'm thinking this is simply a misconfigured path statement (forgive the Windows terminology) but I'm not sure where to start looking. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply ngoonee!
The situation has already changed a bit. Still being in Windows mode, I decided to try a reboot. After rebooting I no longer get the error I was before (I wonder if it had something to do with logging in initially as root then su'ing to my user account) but the association with vlc just isn't sticking.
I noticed though that now when I right-click on a video file I get the option to "Open with Movie Player" as well as "Open with VLC media player" (which does do what it's supposed to), which wasn't there before. For grins I went and set the preferred multimedia app to VLC through System > Preferences > Preferred Applications, but that didn't help.
Is there a place these preferences are stored that I might take a peek at?

Setting default application to none

I would like to change a default application (e.g. Safari) to <none>. I don’t think I should have listed Safari as the default application. How do I do this?

Dear Allan,
I opened the Internet Plugins folder in Library. Then I double-clicked on items such as Flash Player.plugin. When I got the message about ’no default application specified to open ____” I thought I had to look for one. Therefore, Flash Player Enabler. plugin opens in Safari and Flash Player.plugin opens in Text Edit. RealPlayer plugin and Real Player Plugin.xpt do not open, are not folders, and there is an arrow on the left bottom of the document. I guess I shouldn’t have opened these files. I don’t think I can get them to open in <none> any more since None is not available at Open With . . .

Windows 8, set default application for example adobe reader, customize the start screen

I have two questions, Im going to deploy Windows 8 to our company, but have 2 big issues.
1) I need to customize the start screen, but cant find anywhere in the gpo´s? How can I do this without sysprepping etc (deploying with SCCM2012 SP1)
2) I need to set the default programs for adobe reader, mspaint etc, how can I do this? It doesnt work with the GPP and folder options, anyone have done this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for posting your question in the forum. First of all, if you want to deploy customized Windows 8 Start Screen for domain users, I suggest we could refer to the following similar threads
and article.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2012/10/26/start-screen-customization-with-mdt.aspx
Regarding the second question, since you want to set the default programs via Group Policy but it didn’t work. Would you please let me know how did you configure the setting? Please refer to
the following steps to configure the GPO setting.
To create a new Open With preference item
Open the
Group Policy Management Console. Right-click the Group Policy object (GPO) that should contain the new preference item, and then click
Edit.
In the console tree under
User Configuration, expand the Preferences folder, and then expand the
Control Panel Settings folder.
Right-click the
Folder Options node, point to New, and select
Open With.
In the
New Open With Properties dialog box, select an Action for Group Policy to perform.
Enter Open With settings for Group Policy to configure or remove.
Click the
Common tab, configure any options, and then type your comments in the
Description box.
Click
OK. The new preference item appears in the details pane.
For details, please refer to the following article.
Configure an Open With Item
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732272.aspx
In addition, I suggest we could collect the following information to narrow down the cause of the issue.
GPMC.log
==================
a. On domain controller, click Start ->Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console.
b. Right click on "Group Policy Result" and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please place appropriately). (Choose computer and select
the proper user in the wizard)
c. Right click
the resulting group policy result and click the "Save Report…" => save report to save the report to a HTML file.
Hope this helps.

Set Default application

Hello to the mac family.
As always I have a small problem that I am sure someone can help me with.
I am using a G-5 with Safari. I recently added Acrobat Professional to my computer.
I deleted the free reader. Now when I go to a website that has a pdf I have to select "Professional".
I am pretty sure there must be a way to make this my default reader for pdfs. I have looked around the Safari preffs and in the forum but can't find it. I still am kinda missing my 9.2 but not as much as I thought I would.
Thanks in advance and as always I really appreciate the help.........Jim

This is the Intel iMac forum, so you might want to post your question in either the G5 forum:

or, better yet, in the Safari forum:

Setting default applications?

I have a bunch of AVIs that won't play in quicktime, and I downloaded VLC player to play them. It's annoying having to open VLC every time and open up each file through VLC. Can I change the default program for a certain file like you could in windows?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Control-mouse click (or right mouse click on a two button mouse) the said document, and select Open With -> Other...
Pick VLC and check off "Always Open With", and documents of that suffix will always open with VLC.

Default keyboard language and MacOS system language

After I set default keyboard language to English it is automatically applied by macOS as a default language for the whole system. Is there a way to set English as a default language only for the keyboard, but at the same time set Ukrainian to be a default system language?

Alex_Pros wrote:
I want keyboard to open with English as a default language
I assume you need to have both US and Ukrainian on the list at system preferences/keyboard/input sources, right?
Try removing Ukrainian from this list, restarting (which should give you US as default), and then adding Ukrainian again.
If that doesn't work, try going to system preferences/language & region and using the plus button to make some language below the line (for which nothing is localized) like Afrikaans the preferred language, with Ukrainian second. This should keep US as the default keyboard and Ukrainian as the OS language.
