Question
When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

  • We bought a used Ipod Touch from a private party.  We can download music when it's hooked up to the computer but can't download any games or songs by using the wifi.  How can we change the password so we can do this?

    You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes.

  • I inadvertenly clicked on HD when purchasing a season's pass for a tv show, In the midst of the download of the first episode I discovered my mistige.  How can I change the purchase to SD before it downloads any more episodes?

    I inadvertenly clicked on HD when purchasing a season's pass for a tv show, In the midst of the download of the first episode I discovered my mistige.  How can I change the purchase to SD before it downloads any more episodes?

    Apologies if this is an off-target question, but had you bought the HD season originally or just the SD version?
    The reason I ask is that I have had similiar difficulties with the autodown load and when I check for available downloads on season passes, it says all downloaded.
    Then, when I go to the store and search for the season, it first brings up the HD season indicating I would need to make a new purchase, but if I select on SD, there are my purchases and I can freely (and manually) download the latest episode without new cost.
    Needless to say, neither of us should have to go looking. Here is the iTunes technical support email: <[email protected]>. I encourage you to email them. I have already done so but I think it helps for anyone with this problem to also do so, so that they will realize it is a wider spread issue and not a human error by a single user.

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

  • How can I change the color in this "pieces"

    Hello guys, I'm new in the forum and I'm searching for help.
    I'm using a free template that I downloaded from
    the internet but I'm having a small problem.
    When I put the logo that I want use in the template, the color is not the original one,
    after some minutes trying to discover how I could change it to the original version of the logo, I found an option on "fill" with a color that I could change..
    the problem is that when I change the color, all the logo changes in the same time, so I created 2 logos.. one of then only with the dark color and the other with the red color
    so with this method I could change both colors on this "fill" option and all would be okai.
    the problem is that both of the logos are changing in the same time.
    I need to change the X to RED and the Moto to Black
    Another problem that I have is : the little pieces of the logo that come all togheter, they are all black.. and i need to change it to the right color.
    cause the text are in one color and the pieces are all black.

    I did it, but i saw that Fill effect is a little "Shadow" behing the text... just for a small white line... I'm almost done with this intro, now I'm trying to find out how can I change the color from the X and MOTO
    cause when I change the color, both changes, and this can't happen.
    I need the X red and the Moto dark...
    I made 2 compositions ... one with just the X  X red.. and another with just Moto in dark color... but I don't know how to put this 2 compositions in 1 composition.

  • "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    this just started w/ me yesterday.  I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere.  I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
    Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
    The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit".  Download is useless because I'm already running the latest.  Quit is pretty useless.
    I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music.  Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

    I have both Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 6 on my computer. When I am in Bridge and want to open an image by double clicking, it automatically opens in 6. I see, when I go to "open with" 6 is listed as "default" How can I change the default to open an image with a double click in 4?

    You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
    In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
    If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
    Do this from the Windows Desktop:
    If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
    Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".

  • How can I change the settings so when I delete an email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad.....very sick of deleting the same emails two times

    How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop

    Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

  • How can I change the e-mail address that shows when I try to order from iBooks?

    Hi.  I recently had to change my e-mail address, and successfully changed my Apple ID to reflect the new e-mail.  However, while trying to order a book through iBooks today, I noticed that I was asked for my password and that my old e-mail was showing.  How can I change the old address to the new one so that I can order from iBooks?  Thank you.

    Hi, fromsouth, and thank you for your reply.  When I go to store, there is no place that says "sign out" so I can't do this.  My old email is showing, and when I click on it I am asked for my password.  I tried my old password that I used with that email, but was told it was incorrect.  This is so frustrating!  I can't do any ordering on my iPad until this problem is solved.  Thanks again.

    how can I change the preview in imessage on a mac, when notifing me?
    I want it not to preview, just to show me the name of the person sending me the message, not the name of the person sending the message and the message they wrote.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMessage. There's an iMessage Support Community where everybody uses iMessage. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
