Too many apps to open a doc with

Sorry -- I know someone else asked about this and it was answered here before. I thought I had saved the answer as a pdf, but I lost it....
You click on a document and then open the Get Info window. Let's say it's a .tif and the default app is Preview. You want to open the file with Photoshop, so you open the Open With dropdown. (or you could have just ctrl-clicked on the file and moused over to Open With). Anyway, the Open With gives you a list of about a gazillion applications, some of which have been long ago deleted from your system. There is some way to get rid of some of these apps showing up in the list. As I remember it had something to do with messing with a launch-something-or-other file.
Can someone tell me what this is. I tried searching the knowledgbase on Launch and on Open With, but just go too many hits for me to find anything relevant.

Wet Baloney,
Try these cache files first:
Navigate to /library/caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxxx.csstore. You may have more than one with different negative numbers. Delete all of these.
Then navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/caches
com.apple.LaunchServices.UserCache.csstore Delete this also.
Then log out and back in or restart. Let us know.

Too many time to open a session with oracle odbc

I have to migrate an internet site in Sql Server to Oracle.
When I connect Oracle Database with Oracle ODBC, it takes 2 or 3 seconds.
So if i have 8 or 10 recordset to open, it takes 20 s.
But when sessions are open, they live about 1 m and during this time i don't have problem to connect to the database.When i don't use the site during more than 1 m, all sessions are closed and so i have to wait.
How can i connect to the database quickly the first time?

Are you using connection pooling? Are you pre-allocating connections on startup?

Too Many Apps Resuming on Startup

Hey so I'm having an issue that's seriously driving me crazy. Here are the symptoms:
-When I restart or shut down/turn on my computer, way too many apps are opening. Like I quit some apps, continue using my computer, eventually restart it, and the apps I quit re-open, even though they were not running when Lion shut down.
NOTE: This happens even if I uncheck "Re-open windows when logging back in"!! It still opens up all my apps again!
-When I do things in apps like sticky notes such as creating new notes/editing existing notes and then quit the application, it opens from the state it started at (all new notes dissapear, edited notes revert).
-I open apps such as minecraft, and it loses all it's saved data and reverts me to a save I made like a week ago, but all future saves are gone.
-In system preferences, if I uncheck "restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", then exit out of system prefs, when I open it back up it's checked again.
-I also tried turning Number of Recent Items: Applications to "Never" and when I restarted this was back to 10.
My Computer:
Macbook Pro (May 2011)
i5 Processor
8GB Ram
OSX Lion (latest version)
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
Emory

How can I tell which apps or programs are open at any time. At a recent visit to the Genius at my local Apple store, the "Genius" told me that too many apps or programs are running in the background. I'm using Mountain Lion on a McBook Pro

I was told that my Mac has to work extra hard because there are too many apps and/or programs open in the background. How can one tell what is open?? It must be something which is not normally visible to the user??
Hans

Thanks, I have looked at that several times but I can't detect any one item which would indicate overusage. The small chart (indicator bars) are much on the low side and the onse which show are basically green? Not sure what the person at the Genius Bar saw so I'm somewhat puzzled.

Open Word docs with the new Pages?

Pages does not open. I had the new one installed but apparently had the old one still up. How can I open Word docs with the new Pages?

Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Too many apps

Is anyone having issues with playing videos? I'm having errors stating too many apps opened and need to close some.
I have the standard number of apps preloaded but I checked I have 79 apps? Is this due to having apps loaded to QNX and andriod player? How can I resolve this?
Thanks!

I guess there maybe a size limit on the video file.
I did look at the my app world and have 4 apps but take at look yours.
Go to "about" on uper right and general..
Under model, OS version and Serial #.. you will see the # of apps which is more than what you see at my app world..

Genius: "you have no memory because you have too many apps running" ?!?!?!?

hey all,
just a quick thing. I saw a genius today, because like many of you, i'm not only dealing with antenna issues but also have some really bad proximity sensor stuff. I mean, seriously, i've done three way calls, face timed everyone, end calls of 50-60 percent of my calls, searched maps, made new contacts, etc. all with my face! rrrgggg but what i was more puzzled about was what the genius told me was,
"you have no memory because there are too many apps running in the background" when i questioned and said, didn't steve say, "if you have to think about it, you've done it wrong" yet now i'm having issues with my phone, it is because of the multitasking? does this make any sense...it didn't to me. does he not know what he is talking about....or if he is right, there is nothing i can do about it right? he said there isn't a way to turn multi tasking off, just have manually quit programs.........any advice onto if he is correct...

The genius is incorrect. The apps that are suspended in the background are told to release memory, and if there is a shortage of memory or they don't comply as required they will be terminated at will by the OS (freeing memory). This is all done behind the scenes and will not cause you any memory issues. And the upside is you can switch to them much faster.
Shorter version: memory not an issue with background tasks.

Does having too many apps (like more than 100) affect the iPod Touch 5g's battery

So with today being the App Store's 5 year anniversary, there are a LOT of top notch apps becoming free, which I have wanted.
However this worries me - can having too many apps downloaded affect my iPod Touch 5g's performance & battery life?
Extra Details:
iPod Touch 5g 32gb, just got it two days ago.
iI already have over 70 apps

I say they will only adversely effect performance and battery life if the apps do things when the apps are completely shut down. By shutdown I mean the app are not in the recently used row when yo double click the Homne button. By doing something I mean that sme apps are always checking for things like when you get a notification.

Does too many apps slow down iphone's performance?

does too many apps slow down iphone's performance?

31 apps is nothing. I have 130 apps XD. Then again, I'm using an iPhone 4S which has more RAM compared to the 3GS. RAM is everything when it comes to speed. To use the app switcher, press the home button twice quickly and a list of your recently opened apps will appear. Then hold down on any app and all the apps will go to wiggle mode (like they do when you're deleting apps. Now, simply tap on the red icon that appears at the top left corner of any app you don't want running in the background. This will free up RAM and should make your phone faster.

Too many apps frying the processor?

Is this true?
Heavy use,running too many apps burn the processor?
My friend's 5800 would get hot whenever he used it.
He went to nokia care and the people there said that the processor was burnt and was out of repair.
If used,then the battery would explode.
His phone was out of warranty.
Can this happen?
Im also an s60v5 user and would like to know.
IF YOU FIND POSTS HELPFUL HIT THE BIG GREEN BOX TO THE LEFT WITH THE WHITE STAR IN IT THANKS

Sounds like something coming from the rear of a male cow to me, only instances I've heard of are when people 'overclock' there phones with hacking, from the factory most Nokia processors are 'underclocked' precisely to avoid this kind of issue. I use my phones in what I would describe as an intensive manner and have never had an issue, I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep about it
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

Can't open Word docs with Pages 08

Since upgrading to SL I found that I can no longer open Word documents sent to me via email attachments. Can this be remedied? I thought Macs were able to "translate" Word files.
Help!

I did discover I can open Word docs with Text Edit, but it's a multi-step process now. I really don't want to upgrade to iWork 09 and I'm not sure that would solve the problem. I also have to use Quick Time now to open movies in iPhoto. Another multi-step process. I'm not very happy with SL.
