What applicaton do i chose for opening all

files will not open by double clicking automatically  ask which application to always open ? have been using Foxfire but always
reverts to the Finder window  with what application to open with.  And the get info has been lockin my name as administrater??

Well, it looks like you got a screen shot, since the email I just got notifying me of a response to this thread showed this image you posted:

What it shows is an RTF file (rich text format), which is supposed to default to opening with TextEdit. So if your's isn't for some reason, you can make it the default by selecting the file (not when it's open) and Get Info (Command-I):
Where it says 'Open with:', you can choose from the pop-up menu which application you want to open RTF files, and once you do that, you can click on the 'Change All…' button to make all RTF files open automatically with TextEdit.
The same procedure applies to any other file type, too.

    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

  • Setting Photoshop CS5 as the default for opening all photo files?

    How do I make Photoshop CS5 the default for opening all photo files?

    Close the jpeg in Photoshop! This procedure is done on an unopened (closed) file in the finder, Photoshop is not involved.
    Open a FINDER window, click ONCE to select your file (NOT double click to open it)
    Command I or in the Finder, File menu, select Get Info.
    In the GET INFO window, change the Open With item to Photoshop
    Click the CHANGE ALL button, You will get the warning "This change will apply to all Adobe Photoshop CS5.app documents with extension “.jpg”.
    Click CONTINUE and from now on all jpegs double clicked in the finder will automatically open in Photoshop

  • What is the best app for storing all passwords in a secure area? osx snow leopard

    What is the best app for storing all passwords in a secure area? osx snow leopard

    Keychain is nice, but I prefer to use 1Password. It's got a nice user interface, and does what I need. It stores passwords, notes, identitiy info, credit card info, application registration numbers, saves hardware information such as your router settings, and more. It also has a secure password generator. There's an extension that keeps a button in the browser toolbar for Safari, etc., so you can submit your info (password, credit card) with the click of a button, and without having to type the information in through the website you are visiting. It also pays attention when you are signing in to a website, and asks you if you want to save the login to 1Password. Once you get them all entered, it's a big timesaver.

    The link above says it is for OS X 10.7 and up, but if you go to the developer's website (link below), it says it works with OS X 10.6 as well. You can also download a 30-day demo from the link below.

  • What are the security risks for opening port 80 on workstations?

    Hello all,
    in our environment, there is an application which open port 80 on workstations when installed, but it is not allowed on preimeter FW
    could you please advise what are the security risks for leaving port 80 opened on the workstations? or it is considered secure unless it is not allowed on the preimeter FW?
    thanks alot & regards

    Hi R.Naguib.
    The 80 port is open by default through the firewall on Windows system, it is used by a http protocol by a browser.
    As for the network or hardware Firewall settings, I suggest to turn to the network administrator for details.

  • What are the best tools for opening very large XML files and examining the tree and confirming they are valid?

    I am generating some very large XML files (600,000+ lines, 50MB+ characters). I finally have them all being valid XML and valid UTF-8.
    But the files are so large Safari and Chrome will often not open them. FireFox will though.
    Instead of these browsers, I was wondering if there are there any other recommended apps for the Mac for opening and viewing the XML, getting an error message if they are not valid for some reason and examing the XML tree?
    I opened the file in the default app for XML which is Xcode, but that is just like opening it in a plain text editor. You can't expand/collapse the XML tree like you can with a browser, and it doesn't report errors.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Tom,
    I had not seen that list. I'll look it over.
    I'm also in touch with the developer of BBEdit (they are quite responsive) and they are willing to look at the file in question and see why it is not reporting UTF-8 errors while Chrome is.
    For now I have all the invalid characters quashed and things are working. But it would be useful in the future.
    By the by, some of those editors are quite pricey!

  • Setting quicktime 7.6.6 as default for opening all audio

    I am having a problem getting rid of or even finding an older version of qt 7 (7.4.5) which seems to exist somewhere on my computer and is set as my default for opening .wav files when I need them to be opened with 7.6.6. How can I find it if within my applications and utilities if the only thing that seems to exist there is 7.6.6? Is there also just some way to set 7.6.6 to be the new default to deal with all audio in the future. I know about going into 'get info' and setting the 'open with' option and then 'change all…' but that still only seems to affect the 'all' in the same folder and not on my whole computer. Would be nice not to have to do all these extra steps every time I need to open up a file. Thanks in advance for any insight.

    The update is for Tiger and Leopard only, not Snow Leopard.

  • Keyword for "Open All in Tabs"?

    Is there a way to use a keyword to "Open All in Tabs" of a bookmark folder?
    I know about the option to set multiple tabs as my home page. But don't want all those tabs to open every time I start FF, just when I want them to. And easily do that like typing a small keyword in the address bar.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I wonder what brilliant logic Photoshop has for opening NEF-not

    In this day and age with the acclaimed number one photo app, photoshop will not recognize or change format of a NEF from iPhoto export- am I dreaming? or ignorant of some technical or marketing aspect?
    I 'm afraid to ask in Adobe forum in fear of not getting an answer.
    Photoshop 8.0
    Thank you for your past help and Apple for working on cliches in iPhoto'08- J

    Have you been able to edit NEF file with PS before? There is a RAW plugin for PS that may be what you need. Go to VersionTracker.com and search for Adobe RAW. I think that's where I say it listed.
    Was the format of the original file that was imported NEF?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • What is the keyboard command  for opening the disc drive on a G5

    fried old keyboard and am using an older one that doesn't have an "open" button. Thanks in advance

    Yes, it’s the same for me. In this case I didn’t know about drutil. I don’t want to take this off-topic, but just a quick question to you, chorleyman: I see you’re using a Firebox. Are you satisfied with it? I believe it’s Core Audio compliant. Back then I had to decide to get the Edirol FA-66 or a Presonus Firebox. I’m absolutely happy with mine, but I’m just curious...

  • How do I set Preview to be the default app for opening ALL pdf's?

    I have both Preview and Acrobat Professional on a Macbook Air running Mountain Lion.
    I don't see an option if I get info on Preview to set it as the default app for all PDF's.
    Where can I set this?  I only use Acrobat on occasion for form fill-in but prefer to use Preview.
    thanks

    Looks like I got it to work by selecting a document and setting in get info.  For some reason it was not working before.

  • Is there a plugin that opens all tabs?

    Suppose I have 30 sites in a folder in bookmarks. I can select "open all in tabs," but when I do that, Firefox tries to open all of those tabs at one time.
    What I would like to do is to have it so when I want all tabs in any one folder opened, the first bookmarked site in a folder opens in a new tab, then after a second or two, the second site opens and so forth until all are opened.
    Is there a plugin that does this? I tried searching https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox for "open all in tabs," but didn't find anything

    It is not one that I have used, but I believe the BarTab add-on may be of use to you. It does not do exactly what you are asking for, it will show all of the tabs on the tab bar, but it will only load the tab when you actually visit it - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bartab/
