Setting Sun's JVM as the Default in IE

Hi,
I'm currently having trouble getting Internet Explorer to use Sun's JVM as the default JVM. Here's what happened:
1. I installed Sun's Java SDK 1.4.2.
2. I installed Visual Studio 6, which required (for some reason) that I update my JVM, so I did. (It did ask me if I wanted to update the JIT, and I selected No. Is this the problem?)
3. Java applets no longer run in IE.
4. I reinstall Java SDK 1.4.2, making sure to associate Sun's JVM as the default.
5. Java applets still don't run in IE.
I've tried multiple times reinstalling Java SDK, disassociating and reassociating IE from the plugin, etc, to no avail. I know Java still works, because if I directly specify to use Sun's JVM on a webpage it runs.
Does anyone know how to explicitly force Sun's JVM to be the default JVM for IE?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
---- Does anyone know how to explicitly force Sun's JVM to be the default JVM for IE?
In the plugin "ControlPanel \ Browser" select the IE radio button.
(I know you've tried this, but it seems to be the only way)
Make sure that in the Plugin's "ControlPanel \ Advanced" tab you have selected the proper location of the JRE.
In the Plugins "ControlPanel \ Basic" tab, select the "show console".
This should open the java console if your applet is loaded, so atleast you will know if the applet is being loaded or not.
Start a new browser after you associate the plugin with IE.
---- If you disassociate the plugin from IE, then inorder to get your applet to work with MS JVM use the following command
" javac -target 1.1 HelloWorld.java "
BTW - I hope you are testing a simple applet like hello world !?
regards
mqs
PS -
Your problem has got nothing to do with Visual Studio 6, nor the fact that it asked you to updgrade your JVM. ( IMHO visual studio will require MS JVM - but that is not the problem source here )

Set Reader to NOT be the default pdf viewer

During an msi install how do I set Reader to NOT be the default pdf viewer?

Just to add to this question:
On Mac OS 10.5, using Acrobat 8 Professional, every time Acrobat Pro starts up, I get the question "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.app is not currently configured to be the default application for PDF files. Would you like to make PDF files open with Adobe Acrobat Professional.app instead of Preview.app?"
My answer is "No," but my preference in this matter is not retained. I get the question every single time I launch Acrobat Pro. Where is the button labeled "And don't ask me again!" ?
I have combed through the Preference dialog and not been able to find any setting that seems related to this. To be clear, I am not talking about what happens when I double-click a PDF file in the Finder. I'm talking about what happens when Acrobat 8 Professional is opened directly.
Thanks.

Setting Black and White as the default when printing to a Canon Image Class 4080i

Hi,
I've got two Canon Image Class 4080i's that we are printing to at the school I work at. I have installed the Canon UFRII V2.40 Printer Driver for Mac OS X and we are able to print to them fine through any macbook running 10.5 to 10.7. My question is, how do I make the default printer setting be Black and White instead of color? I know how to change it from Color to Black and White by navigating to the Quality menu through the Print screen but I have to do this every time I print. Is there a way to make black and white the default?
Thanks in advance,
Cheryll

You’re really going to take photos straight out of camera on a 5d3 and print them with a blindly applied B&W conversion from the printer? I would highly discourage that, but if that’s what you want to do I’m sure it’s possible. Sorry, I have no experience with that printer so I can’t help.
Do you have a laptop? My recommendation would be to use a photo processing software like Lightroom (if you don’t have it LR5 is ridiculously cheap right now), play around before the event to get a B&W conversion that you like – even the preset ones are going to be better than whatever conversion the printer does - and then print from LR. It’d hardly take any extra time, and you could get a brief review of the conversions on a laptop screen before printing.

How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

Basic Overview
I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
At Home
If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
At School
At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
Question
How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
Thanks you to everyone who helps!
-Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player. So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home? Flash Player Projector?
If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

How to set an email address as the default for a new message

Simple question I hope. How do I set Mail so that a new mail message is linked to a preferred account? At the moment when I click "compose new message", the default account is my me.com address. It only takes a moment to select my preferred account in the drop-down menu, but I never had this issue before and I can't figure it out in preferences. Thanks.
Tom

Open mail then mail-preference-composing and in the middle "Send new messages from" use the drop down menu to choose your prefered account.

How Do I Set Reader 9 to be the Default Reader Over Old Acrobat?

Since a crash from an unrecoverable virus, I formatted my HDD and loaded Office, etc. I downloaded Reader 9 and installed it, then reloaded my old Acrobat 6. When I try to launch a pdf file from the net, I get the statement, "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again." When I click OK, Acrobat launches, but doesn't open the file.
I then got the report that my Acrobat could be config'd to read files in a browser, and clicked OK to do it. However, the process began, then the blank Acrobat sat for a very long time, and while I assumed it would report that it had been done successfully, it never happened, so I carried on assuming it was done. Now it just opens, but doesn't say that it can be config'd.
Even though the notice refers to the Acrobat/Reader that is running, neither are running. I've checked startup, and it doesn't show either one to be launched at startup. Task Manager doesn't show any Adobe running except when they are launched.
I have Reader 9 installed? I never had the problem before with whatever old version of Reader that I had (7?)
Tried everything I can think of and looked at every option trying to find a config that makes either one the default reader so I can disable acrobat and enable reader.
Any ideas other than uninstalling both, then reloading my old Acrobat that serves me just fine, followed by Reader 7.1 that worked just fine would be appreciated. (my fear is that soemthing from reader 9 will be left behind, and 7 won't work)
Cheers,
Bill

Hi Mike:
Thanks for your response. However, it doesn't work.
On reflection, I had kept the old adobe reader software in archive and loaded it, not reader 9. Then installed acrobat 6. Both worked fine in all applications that I used, as it did previously. I can't tell you which application would view the files, but do recall that it would open the file in a separate window from the browser (fine with me). Neither application has stated it couldn't run along with the other program when loading...?
My firewall kept alerting me to adobe wanting to update to 9, but I denied it all the time until I inadvertently clicked on OK. It was after that, that all the problems began.
This is so typical of doing upgrades, and I've always refused them unless functions failed. For the most part, a bunch of extraneous crap and the need to download a lot of utils happens with upgrades - with little value for me in the "wonderful new functions" added (and I'm absolutely certain the download includes new ways to snoop in one's system).
I'll cite Netscape as an example. I used it for a very long time, and it "just simply worked" for all functions. I upgraded to ver 5, and suddenly, I had to download this player, and that whatever, and still had issues (so did my friends). Of course that was dealt with patches that were called further updates. Then came new versions with the need for more util downloads, or upgrades to them.
I had also archived version 4.7 that "just simply worked", so I cleaned all old versions out and reinstalled it. Again, it just simply worked! I used it just fine up to version 7 coming out when I went over to Outlook/Explorer. I burned the s'ware onto a CD and it went around to a bunch of friends who "went back" to the good ol' reliable as well.
I do recall having to upgrade DirectX and Windoze Media Player, but after that, it worked fine. If I clicked on a video file, it ran, no need to download another player, images opened in whatever I had - didn't need to download Quicktime or ? to view a jpeg as was the case with the newer versions, etc. It just worked!
New versions were just more crap added to make money for Netscape (and annoy the user) ie: to view a jpeg, one would have to download a utility like quicktime and netscape would get a nickel(?) for every download done through it.
I'm a firm believer in "good ol'" as opposed to new and improved - whether in software or hard goods/products. New and improved most often = lower cost, cheaper components, bigger profits for the maker, and disappointment for the user. In the case of software: sent to market full of glitches/problems that the user will likely have to find out and possibly even resolve for the maker who will then write patches on top of patches until it becomes stable - usually in time for the next flawed version to appear.
I absolutely hate having to waste time and go through this kind of frustration when something worked perfectly fine, but guess I'll have to go through it and load up the old reliable versions that will function as before. Will have to do permanent denials in the firewall for things I don't want upgraded in the future so I don't screw up.
Again, thanks for the response (and sorry for the venting)
Cheers,
Bill

How do I set Adobe Reader 9 as the default to open emailed Adobe pdfs?

I have Reader 9, and I used to have Adobe Pro XI but I let the subscription lapse. Now I can't open any Adobe pdfs that are emailed to me and all I see is a messge saying that I need to renew my subscription. Help!

Changing the default application for the OS should also change the file type association for PDF files.
For Windows XP
Start-> Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types
For Windows Vista and Windows 7
Start-> Default Programs-> Associate a file type or protocol with a program
For Windows 8
Start-> type: “Default Programs”-> Associate a file type or protocol with a program
For MAC
Right Click (Ctrl click) on any PDF file -> Get Info -> Change open with.

Set an iPod HIFI as the default audio device

Hello
Just "switched".
I want to bypass the internal speaker to use an Ipod HIFI as my default sound device.
Currently it is not recognized under System Preferences as it is commicating with my iMacvia airport express.
Any way to get this listed under "Choose a device..."
Thanks
Warren

Hello
I do not want to hard wire the Ipod HIFI. I understand that if I used the line out feature the system would recognize the device. I would like the system to recognize a remote speaker connected by wireless network and to accept this remote speaker as the default audio device. Not likely but should be an option.
Cheers

How do you set a component back to the Default Skin?

I have a title window and have applied a minimize button
skin... I need to reset the skin Back to the Default skin.
Code to skin the button to minimize.
setStyle ("closeButtonDisabledSkin", MinDisabledSkin);
setStyle ("closeButtonDownSkin", MinDownSkin);
setStyle ("closeButtonOverSkin", MinOverSkin);
setStyle ("closeButtonUpSkin", MinUpSkin);
How do you reset it to the default close button skin?

The only way that I've been able to do this is to create your
own style for the close button state.. Basically create your own
styles for everything.. because I don't think you can toggle
between yours and Flex's

How to set Java 64-bit as the default?

Hey everyone, I need to use Java 64-bit in Mac OS X Lion and I thought it defaulted to using the 64-bit JDK until I ran Minecraft which stated I was running the 32-bit JDK and if I deselect the 32-bit entry in Java Preferences it deselects the 64-bit entry as well. Does anyone know of a way to make OS X default to the 64-bit version, I also make use of the 64-bit JDK on Windows to ensure my Java applications in NetBeans run correctly on either flavour.
I did try using the OpenJDK 7 and downloaded the 64-bit runtime and installed it correctly and confirmed it was running but when running the Minecraft.app I was greeted with a message saying no compatible JDK 1.5+ was installed and when using the Terminal, it was failing to logon correctly, but was working fine in the standard JDK but like I said, I'm stuck with 32-bit in that case.
Regards, Wobby.

Does minecraft support 64-bit Java?
There isn't really a default java, but you can set the order for your preferred java. Go to the Java Preferences (/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences) and on the General tab just make sure the 64-bit java is first (you can click and drag them to change the order).
You might also try disabling the 32-bit java by unchecking the "ON" check box next to it and see if Minecraft will run and with which Java (if shouldn't be able to launch the 32-bit one if it is off).
Good luck!

When I sync my iPhone 4S to my computer, where is the baseline data and documents coming from? Is the iPhone's set of apps and data the default set or are the apps and data on the computer (in the backup? in iTunes?) the default set?

I am having a great deal of trouble with the upgrade to ios 7 on my 4S. The syncing and the software updates always leave generic icon apps that I have downloaded in the past but have deleted from my phone. But they keep reappearing. A restart of the phone fixes the icons but they are loaded not at the last page of the home screen but on completely random pages, screwing up my app and folder layout.
I want to completely wipe the phone and restore the apps one by one, but I am concerned about whether the data and documents for those apps that I reinstall will be intact. Does the syncing for the apps on the phone retrieve the data from the last backup on the computer? If so, does it only sync the apps on the phone or does it try and reinstall all the apps that there is data for in the backup? In other words, does the resulting set of apps and data reflect the current state of the phone or the saved state of the backup?

Can I set Google Maps to be the default map app?

OK, I've had enough. I thought I could live with the quirks of Apple Maps, but the other day, I was trying to get directions from Reagan airport to my hotel in DC. Although the app correcty located me at the airport, it insisted on starting the directions from *a golf course on the other side of the Potomac*. Seriously? This wasn't a tiny mistake. It couldn't figure out a major airport in a major US city. That was the last straw.
I downloaded the Google Map app, and it was wonderful. Not only did it (of course) give me the correct directions, but it even talked to me (I have an iPhone 4, which Apple has deemed unworthy of turn by turn directions).
Is there a way to make Google Maps my default Map app? so that when the OS recognizes something as an address it opens that instead of Apple Maps?

What on earth is wrong with Apple?? The ENTIRE REASON I MADE MY ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS GOOGLE MAPS. The arrogance of they know better than the folks using their product is astonishing. I don't care what the articles say, this map debacle is killing potential iPhone sales. If they will not support MY NEEDS, I'll abandon my investment in applications as the important ones use Google maps and will be worthless anyhow. Already applications I want demand iOS 6 which I refuse to download. This phone will become an iPod and I will never again trust apple with my future. This is not the first time apple has decided for me. It's going to be the last decision you make for me. Trust.
