Which application opens VPC 7

Sorry for the newbie question, but I just downloaded VPC 7 and now my iMac is telling me I need an application to open it--I have no idea which to pick? Any suggestions?
thanks

Okay maybe it's not vpc 7, that's what it said-but when your downloading stuff who knows what you'll get. Anyways you didn't answer my question.
So I download it about 564mb worth and I click on the icon it pops up a window with a icon that looks like a black box that says exec on it, I then double click that and my iMac askes me that there are NO default applications to open this. So to make a long story short--which app. do I use?
thanks buds,

Change All / Get Info issue. How to set which application opens a file?

Hello,
I would like to be able to set which application opens a specific file, but cannot get the 'Change all' option in the get info to stick, or to have scvope beyond the immediate folder. For example: whenever I download an.xml file and try to open it the application it defaults to is 'Property List editor' - so I have to go into 'get info' and set the application that I want to use to open the file. Let's say - Textmate. That file will then remain set, for the length of that session anyway - but clicking 'Change all' will not mean that the next file downloaded will default to 'Textmate', or that any .xml files outside the folder will open in Textmate. I have to set them all manually, which gets to be a drag.
I once had a little open source app. that I used to set the preferences as to which application opened a specific suffix - which worked with some, some of the time... but after a clean install I lost it - and can't remember what it was called. Anyway, it didn't entirely solve the problem, only lessened it.

*Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind*
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.
I know that what I posted may have been what you have been doing, but wanted to double check.
I don't know to what application you are referring but application/file type association is done by Launch Services. Potentially this can become corrupted. You can use Onyx (free) utility to rebuild LS, but in doing so you will lose all non-default associations.
As with any problems, I would also make sure you have run disk utility to verify and repair your drive, and repair permissions on your computer, before doing any other actions. It's surprising what that can clear up. You can slo just try starting in Safe mode, then restarting normally and see if that helps.

Invisible files, which application open those?

Hi,
On my old iMac DV SE with OS 9.1 I was wandering with which application can I open an invisible file? For instance I found a stange file in my Preferences Folder and I knew for sure that it was not useful, actually it seem suspect to me, so I was curious to take a look inside that thing but ResEdit can not open it because obviously there is no ressources in. What was those "old" applications used to take a deepler look in some files like that in OS 9 ? Those files have a white blank page icon with a folden corner, and they are not from Windows world.
Thank's
Jacques
iMac DV SE 500 Mac OS 9.1.x

I have had the same happen several times. More in the past year due to spyware perhaps and attempted viruses. Thank God for the Mac! I too would like to know which software and version will work on the OS9 to read all these. I've lost and cannot find "file buddy" and want to know what other s/w is around, where to download too. What you should do as with any suspect file on these good ole Macs is to remove the file, "duplicate" a copy for backup , compress it if you dave disk doubler, stuffit, and place it outside the system folder, mac HD icon/folder and into a new folder.(mine is named "pre-trash") If you have another HD installed drag & copy them to that drive. Restart the computer and check your s/w, especially browsers (IE 5.1.7 especially). Most of the pref's actually opened with the browser. Every one I have found was trashed as it was "junk". If the file is used or needed you will soon know when you open s/w and also check to see if a new file was created. The Mac being the genious that it is will create a new preference if its needed and if so, drag the old one saved in "pre-trash" back and your settings are saved. Just a few steps for that peace of mind and no harm, no foul. I hope this helps. This was taught to me way back in 1995, so it applies to almost anything you have on your computer. Anyone reading: If you know of s/w availble still for OS9 please provide the info. Thanks.

Hard problem. how to track which application a user opens next?

Hello,
When the user runs my program,
then **with his permission**, I want to be able to track
which application the user has opened.
For example, if he opens resume.rtf in MSWord, then I
should be able to record or store the full path of
MSWord and also the document path (c:\my
documents\resume.rtf).
Do you know how to do it?
I would appreciate any help.

Da Wanderer has posted code (in Visual Basic?) to open a folder. He says it is cross platform. I am stumped by the code for Linux. Does anyone know if it will work for Linux. ie. Can I use the same options to open a document in Linux?
I plan to use Runtime.exec similarly in Java, to open a doc.
if (vars.Contains("GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID"))
               processes.Add( new ProcessAndArgs("nautilus", "--nodesktop --browser " + path) );

How can I know which applications were opened by someone else who used my computer?

I'd like to know how to interpret the logs that I get in Console to figure out which applications and which files were opened by someone who used my computer. Thanks for any help you might be able to offer!

If you go to Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage > Diagnositic & Usage Data you can see what was used if it returns an error of any kind.

Are you trying to install from the original CDs, or a copy someone gave to you?
I have only CS1, but I would think Adobe CS2 should have an installer application not dependent on Stuffit since it doesn't mention anything about that in the support doc.

Can you show applications open directly in menubar instead of dock?

Hi there
I want to disable dock totally
But I want to get the functionality in my menu bar
So i want to show icons of the apps which are open (or at least favourite apps), directly on the menubar
I don't want them in a folder, I already have an app which does that called xMenu
I want the actual icons of the Favourite/IfPossible:OPEN apps to directly appear in menubar
Is there anything that can get some/all of this functionality?

Well, there probably is; however, a word of caution: the Menu bar is controlled by the System and it may have undesirable results changing system behavior.
What is it about the dock that bothers you?
I have all the apps I use on a regular basis in the dock - not a folder, mind you - alias icons to the apps themselves which all open with one click. I rarely use the system supplied Applications folder in the dock. At last count, I had almost 60 app icons in the dock, which is minimized with significant magnification - I have them organized so I can usually hit the right one without having to search. You can also check "automatically show and hide the Dock" so it'll only show itself when moving the cursor over the area.

You could use Microsoft Office for Mac, but I would recommend iWork! It's a better set of applications for a much better price. I have used both and I prefer it over Office. And Pages can not only open Word documents, you can also save documents in Word format. My brother and I both used iWork as an Office substitute when we were in college (I graduated a few years ago and he just graduated last night) and haven't had any compatibility issues.

Which application uses that file and prevents emptying the Trash?

Hi,
This has been with the OS for quite some time. Every once in a while, when trying to empty the trash, I get the error message:
"The operation can’t be completed because the item 'filename.estension' is in use."
How useless is that? Now, if OS X told me which application is using it, I could close that one application, delete the file, and get back to work. Sometimes, I can guess the application as the one I actually last used to access that file. But every so often, it's the Finder's "quick look," but every once in a while, I just haven't the clue.
So, is there an OS function (even if a UNIX/terminal command) or a utility that can tell me the application that is still using the file in the Trash?
Thanks, Tristan

Hi,
OK, to clarify: yes I use Lion (OS X 10.7.4) and I'd rather not close all applications. With Lion, I can just as well log out (which will close them) and log back in (which will reopen them). But, you realize that this is using a bulldozer to swat a mosquito: somewhere in the bowels of the OS X/UNIX, there is a "file in use" message from some application/process, which has not been cancelled (either because the application/process is really holding the file open or because the application/process has failed to clear the "file in use" flag).
A similar "feature" of OS X is when it prevents you from ejecting a volume because "it is in use." In that case, the "What's keeping me?" utility (by HAMSoft Engineering) comes to rescue, unearths the relevant culprit and reports it to the user. Yes, OS X should be doing it all by itself, but the 3rd party utility is just fine.
So, isn't there a way to unearth this info?

How do you make an application open on a specific monitor?

How do you make an application open on a specific monitor? I have two monitors, and I was able to get Firefox to open on the secondary display always by resizing it with the option or command key [I forget which one] and then quitting it. Now everytime I start it, it opens on the second monitor.
However, when I try to do the same with QuickTime [when playing videos], it always opens on the primary display no matter what I do with it. How do I make it always open on the secondary display?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for the suggestion, but no, Spaces is not what I want. I have two physical monitors, and simply want an application to always open on one monitor, not be able to switch back and forth between different desktops.

Need to find out which application is making an frequent account lockout in AD

Hi ,
In my environment two of the user accounts are having an frequent account lockout.
We have found that the account lockout was happening in their own machines with the help of the event logs in the domain controllers.
Please tell us how do we find that which application on their machines are making an frequent account lock with the help of event logs else do we have some other options.
All of your suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Usage of Microsoft ALtools( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18465 ):
LockoutStatus application
 Run LockoutStatus.exe and choose File > Set target > Define “Target User Name”
and “Target Domain Name”
Tool will show you user with its “User State” (Locked/Not Locked), time when
account was locked (Lockout Time) and will allow you to Unlock Account if you
right click output string.
EventCombMT application
 This tool gathers specific events from Windows event logs of single or several
different servers to one central location.
 Run EventCombMT.exe > Right Click on “Select to search” field >Choose “Get DCs
in Domain” > Mark your Domain Controllers for search> Select “Security” log file >
Type “4740” in the “Event IDs” field > Choose “Success Audit” Event type > Click
“Search” > Wait for “Matching Events Found” counter to show some values and
click “Quit”
 In the opened window investigate file or files named by your domain controllers
names. You should be able to determine the originating system where lockout
happened by searching for “Caller Computer Name”
Aloinfo application
 This tool has 2 purposes:
 To display all user account names and the age of their passwords run cmd >
change directory to the one where ALtools were extracted > type @powershell >
Enter > type “./aloinfo.exe /expires /server:DC | out-file C:\temp\expires.txt” >
Enter
 To display credentials used for running services or for mapping network drives
run cmd > change directory to the one where ALtools were extracted > type
@powershell > Enter > type “./aloinfo.exe /stored | out-file C:\temp\stored.txt” >
Enter
You may also enable Netlogon logging on DC through command shell:
nltest /dbflag:2080ffff
Netlogon.txt file is created in %systemroot%/debug directory
Just don't forget to turn it off after investigation :) nltest /dbflag:0
Or you can use
Netwrix Account Lockout Examiner to troubleshoot account lockouts, it's free.

WebDynpro ABAP application opening blank in portal

Dear All,
There is a strange issue which is being faced by one user. when the user tries to access a Webdynpro ABAP application in Portal then it opens in new window but nothing is displayed in the tray. Now when the user right clicks on the opened window->properties and copies the url from properties and pastes it in new tab (IE 8 is used) then the application opens and works fine.
The portal and backend roles are fine for the user as he can access/work when the application is opened using the copied url.
Please suggest what could be the problem for the user. For other users the issue mentioned is not there.
Regards,
Samir

Hi Samir,
Pls look into these threads -

MBP 13" 2.26 High Idling Temperature with no applications open

Hi,
Basically my MBP is idling at above 60 celcius with no applications open. It is used on a desk all the time and is currently charging. With minimal load open it often raises to 90C + which leads me to believe that the thermal paste needs to be replaced.
Just wanted to know if my assumptions were correct and whether I will be able to get it fixed with Apple Care if this is the case?
Thanks for your help !

CT wrote:
The 60 C at idle doesn't sound too unusual. The 90 C might be high depending what the "minimal load" means. For example, just using Safari, graphic/flash stuff can get the temperature up there.
Maybe it's just me, but my machine seems to average up to 10 C hotter since I upgraded to 10.6.3 from 10.6.2. I've watched Activity Monitor to see if somebody is working the CPU, but nothing seems significant...

60°C is way too high when idling.
Your cpu should stay 15°C lower than that (mine stays between 38-45°C, with Safari and Mail opened).

How do I change which application is the (default) for a given file type?

For .pdf files, I have set the application behaviour to "Always Ask", because sometimes I want to open the pdf, sometimes I want to save it. So far so good.
Now, when I want to open the .pdf, I have added an application to the dropdown list, so now I have "Adobe Reader 9 (default)" and "okular".
The problem is this: I *never* open using Adobe Reader. I always want to use okular, but Adobe Reader always appears first on the list, as it is the 'default'. This means I always have to click on the dropdown and select "okular", i.e. an extra step every time I want to open a pdf.
How do I change which application is the default?

Yes, I know that. That was the first sentence of my question, but it is not the problem I have.
I want to change which application is the (default) for a given file type, and this cannot be done from the settings.
