[Solved/Hacked] .txt and .doc default app.

I use Stumpwm and Thunar and I open .txt files with Gvim and .doc files with LibreOffice/OpenOffice.
My problem is: If I set the default application for .txt files to be Gvim, this is also set for .doc files and viceversa.
What I want is to be able to set Gvim the default application for text files and LibreOffice for .doc files.

I had the same problem a while back. Finally found this informative thread. Seemed to be a bug in Thunar, so I just decided to let it be.
However, it looks like the problem has been fixed in the latest version of Thunar (1.2.0) that came with the Xfce 4.8 update last week, at least on my end. Have you tried updating?

HT4085 are third party media apps (youtube, grooveshark, etc.) grouped in the muted or unmuted category? Since music and podcast (default apps) DO mute and games DON'T mute I thought it worth asking.

My iPad2 is showing duplicates of the icons for apps on my home screen (where the app store and other default apps reside)??? How do I get back to normal?

My iPad2 has suddenly begun displaying duplicates of the icons on my home screen all stacked atop one another in the upper left corner. What can I do to return to normal operation?

Try this.
Reset 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.

[SOLVED]Chromium use Firefox as default app for pdf, unzip...

Hello,
I have problem with chromium browser. When I don't have Firefox installed, everything works fine - it uses it's own pdf viewer and opens .zip/.tar files with 7zFM. But when I install firefox, it start's using firefox for these things. I tried to play with mime-types and xdg-open, but without success. Any ideas?

Have you tried to install PDF Viewer (the open html5 pdf viewer from firefox) in chromium? Maybe that way it will open pdf files directly in chromium. I use it myself because is an open option rather than the chrome viewer, and it works perfect for me.

HT1688 my default apps are gone. Restoring does not work

Pleas help I tried to jailbreak my iphone 4 and my default apps are gone(settings, photos, exct)

Jailbreaking is NOT supporrted by this community, but restoring with iTunes may help you.

I used my id to download an app on my sister's ipad. Now my email account is visible on her ipad too. How can I reset her ipad without deleting my id, apps and docs?

I used my Apple id to download an app on my Sister's new ipad. Now my email account is visible on her ipad too. If I reset her ipad, will that delete my id, apps and docs on my ipad?

I figured out the solution to the problem. First I de-authorized her ipad in my itunes account and in Settings : Mails-Contacts -Calendars, I deleted Yahoo as her default mail account. It was that simple afterall and I didn't need to reset anything.

Make Word default app for .doc files

How can I make Word the default app for .doc files? I don't want Pages to launch when I clip on a word doc attachment in an email using Entourage.

I notice you say you're having this problem when you open a document attached to an e-mail within Entourage, correct? If so, this may not be an Apple issue. Check Entourage's settings to see if it has an option that specifies what application opens.
Also, do these files have an extension? If not, that could be causing problems. If there's also no extension, the Mac could get confused, and it may not have any basis for allowing you to Change All. (Change all what?) I could not duplicate this behavior by e-mailing myself a file with no extension, but if a Windows machine were involved, that might change... or maybe not.

Office 365 installed, can't choose Word 2007 as the default program for docx and doc files

I have a client who just installed Office 365 on his Windows 7 PC. He still has Office 2007 installed. He's struggling with the changes in Word 2013 and wants me to uninstall Office 365. I thought I'd just set the default program association for .docx and
.doc programs to Word 2007 but that doesn't seem possible. I can choose Default Programs, Associate a file type etc., and find the .docx extension. The current default is Word (desktop). I highlight the .docx extension and choose Change Program. The older
version of Word isn't listed so I click Browse and find Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe. Click OK, OK, OK, etc, but .docx files still open in Word 2013. The Default Program applet evidently sees all versions of Word as the same and refuses
to change the association. How do I accomplish this ridiculously simple task?

Fixed. Used a great little app from NirSoft called
FileTypesMan. The built-in Windows utilities are getting worse by leaps and bounds.

Filevault, and osx resetting default apps

Hi...
First off, I have a Mac book pro running OSX 10.5.1 and have filevault enabled (as it is a company computer, and is required) however I (and my collegues) are seeing that OSX appears to forget all about which apps to use for which type of files (ie. I use acrobat for PDFs, textmate for .txt, default browser is firefox, mail client is thunderbird etc etc.) but after a reboot all this is forgotten and I need to reassociate everything again.
Is there really no good fix for this? Or did someone forget to test the filevault app before launching it in leopard? I have been looking around the web and have found indications that it is filevault thats causing the problem, but nowhere does it say anything about a good solution for this.
I usually put the MBP into sleep mode, and then it doesn't forget the default apps, but once in a while a reboot is necessary (OSX do crash, quite often actually).
Solutions and recommendations are welcome.
Regards
Thomas

Turn off FileVault and see if the problem continues. If not, delete the filevault sparseimage. Once that's done, reset the LaunchServices database as described in http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486 but with using this command:
*/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*
which changed from what's posted WRT Tiger. The command is all one line, just copy and paste it. If all problems are gone, restart FileVault.

TS1702 My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem?

My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem? Can somebody help me please?

The App store is a problem for many and I have not seen a solution.
What is "wrong" with your Apple ID?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

hirogliffix,
take a look at this Apple page — in particular, the “Restoring data from Time Machine backups” section and its “Restoring your entire system from a backup” subsection.

In PC I have changed the default app location from default to other and copied the previous content to new location and changed the Default location in preference. Now in iTunes, my previous apps are not visible. Is there any solution to this?

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

As Dah•veed said, you can delete an app on one divice, and still have it stay on another. The syncing only applies for downloaing apps when you have "Sync Purchases" enabled for the App Store. This goes for the iTunes, iBooks, and Podcasts apps as well.
