Why does the 'change all' button for file extensions revert the program?

Hi Chaps,
I have a piece of analysis software produce a file with the extension .jdf and I need to open it with a particullar piece of software called Mestrenova to manipulate it. The problem is...jdf is also the extension of the Adobe acrobat job definition file. I can go into the file in snow lepord with 'get info' and change the individual files to default open with Mestrenova BUT as soon as I hit the 'change all' button, ALL .jdf files revert back to Acrobat defualt. It's infuriating and I have no idea how to resolve it without installing 3rd party software, which I'd rather not.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I still have this problem...

Where is the "download all" button for itunes music

So... trying to re download all of my purchased music from my itunes account onto my new iphone 6, however, when i go into itunes store then purchased, the bit where it should have "all music" is gone so i can't go into it and hit the "download all" button, i'm certainly not going to sit there like an idiot one by one pressing the cloud of the hundreds of songs i have on my purchased account. If there is a setting that is preventing it from showing or a different way i can simply and easily download all of my purchased from itunes would be FANTASTIC. Thank you.

not on my phone there isn't, but my sister and i both bought an iphone 6 yesterday and her iphone has the option, mine doesn't, that's why i assumed there was a setting somewhere that allowed it to show. Her phone you go to itunes ap> more> purchased> music> then you get to the bit where it has all of the music, at the top of her phone she has "recently purchased" and "all music" when you go into "all music" it has a download all button!!! with my phone, it has not got the "all music" it only has the "recently purchased" they are both brand new iphone 6 with no data yet on them. I'm confused as to why hers has the function and mine doesn't. There must be a setting somewhere but i've looked and looked and there's nothing. I literally have THOUSANDS of songs, this would take me forever to go into every album. Irony has it that my sisters only has about 300 songs and go figure hers is the one that can download all

No OK Button For File Extension In Preferances! Help!

I have an external hard drive, which I put all of my media on. However, whenever I put a CD or download from the Itunes music store it doesnt save on this hard drive. I found a way to change where the files go for when I download or import through Itunes (Edit, Preferances) but there is no OK button at the bottom of the screen so the only thing I can do is X it out and it doesnt save any changes. Please help, my computer is too old, it holds 9 gigs, I can't save the music I listen to on it, so please help, thanks.

Why does Print Preview of a .eml file recursively open the same .eml file? I can't print it.

Hello. I saved an email from my IMAP account locally to file as offlineemail.eml. When I try to open the .eml file later in Thunderbird, it opens up ok, no problem. When I do Print Preview just before sending it to my printer, two windows pop up. In the background is the first window, the Preview itself. However, it only shows "about:blank" in the Preview body. In the foreground, a window with Title: Opening offlineemail.eml. Body: You have chosen to open: offlineemail.eml which is: eml document (27.9 KB) from: /tmp. What should Thunderbird do with this file? [Radio button] Open with [dropdown] Thunderbird (default); [Radio button] Save file; [Checkbox unchecked] Do this automatically for files like this from now on. [Push buttons] Cancel Ok. The Ok button remains greyed out until I click one of the radio buttons. I click Open with Thunderbird, the Ok button is now active, and I click Ok. Here, the same email opens up just fine again in a separate Thunderbird window. I do a Print Preview, and this whole paragraph of steps is repeated. I never see the preview. Any ideas why this would be? My Thunderbird version: 31.3.0. My OS: linux openSUSE 13.1"Bottle". File manager: Thunar 1.6.3 for the XFCE desktop.

Why does Adobe keep releasing updates for Acrobat that make the PDF print option diasappear?

I am really disappointed that after installing an update to Acrobat 9 my PDF printer has disappeared from my printer list.
This is the second time this has happened. The last time this happened Adobe were still supporting Acrobat 9 and they ended up having to remote in to my machine to fix it.
Now I have to pay if i want that level of support!!! It begs the question why they release these destructive updates. Is it to force people to upgrade to X or purchase support.
Can anybody give me some instructions on how to manually install the PDF printer?
I am running windows 7

Launch the Devices and printers setup utility through the Control Panel.
2Select the \"Add a Printer\" option.
3Click the \"Next\" button and select the \"Local Printer Attached to This Computer\" option.
4Deselect (uncheck the box) the \"Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer\" option and click the \"Next\" button.
5Select \"My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)\" in the port selection drop-down menu and click the \"Next\" button.
6Select the \"Have Disk\" option and click the \"Browse\" button to open a dialog box.
7Select the \"AdobePDF.inf\" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under \"Adobe,\" \"Acrobat 9.0,\" \"Acrobat,\" \"Xtras.\"
8Select the first item (top item) on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click the \"Next\" button.
9Type \"Adobe PDF\" in the field for a printer name and click \"Next.\"

Why does my iBook not have a file size on the iBookstore?

Hi everyone,
I apologise if this has already been answered, however, I could not find an answer anywhere. Basically, I submitted a children's iBook (The Tale Of Blob-Ba-Cus) to the iBookstore in June. In the section on the iBookstore where is says author, publisher, category etc. there is no file size listed. My book was created with iBooks Author and I submitted it through iTunes Producer. I never came across a field in the metadata for file size. I just presumed maybe it would appear automatically once submitted. Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jade.

Why does MainStage silence all instrument sounds when I hit the play button?

I want to be able to be playing a pad or keyboard sound through an instrument channel strip that doesn't get cut off when I hit the play button to playback loops and sounds I have for songs.

Hi
The "Play" button resets the audio engine. Better to leave that running and use some other control mapped directly to the Playback Plugins

Why does it take all day for my msn email to download on my iphone5?

IiOS 7.1.1 iPhone 5
Lately, for the past month or so my MSN email takes up to a day to download new messages. It will check for new mail the say downloading and there it will stay all day. Sometimes I power it off and the mail populates but often it doesn't. Any ideas why this is happening or is there something I can do to fix it?.

It's true that it is your Internet connection that is the problem but:

-Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi; Wi-Fi slows it down a lot!
Just no. Your WiFi is far faster then your Internet speed so the bottleneck is in your Internet speed, not your WiFi speed. The only way WiFi would be slower is if you are using an old A or B standard AND you have a really fast Internet speed. However if you are using G or N on your WiFi it will be faster than a good Internet connection. If your Internet is faster than your WiFi then it is fast enough not to have any streaming/download problems.
-Buy a stronger modem
Again no. There is no such thing as a "stronger modem".

-Get a faster connection such as ADSL2, T1, Fibre Optics etc. from your carrier (such as AT&T)
Almost right. While a ADSL2, T1, Fibre Optics etc would give you a faster connection it is way overkill and a far greater expense. Just ask your ISP for a faster DSL/Cable connection. You are probably below a 3meg connection. You will want a 3meg or greater connection. And that will make your stuff download faster. The Apple TV likes a 3meg or greater connection.

Why does double-click not work for files of Firefox type under Windows 7 (Firefox 15.0.1)?

If in the Windows Explorer of Windows 7 I double-click the name of a file that is mentioned as being a Firefox file by its file type symbol, it should be launched. But this doesn't happen. If I select "Open with" > Firefox" in the file's context menu, nothing happens. But if I select another browser, the file will be launched.

Hi,
You can try to right-click a file > '''Open with''' > '''Choose default program''' > '''Browse''' (disregard any existing entry) and select Firefox, and also enable (tick) '''Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'''.

Get Info "Change All" button doesn't keep the proper "Open With" app

I have a small but annoying problem that appears in Leopard 10.5.2 (been there since original 10.5.0 install) that I have tried to troubleshoot but can't solve.
The problem is:
-With some of my file types, the wrong "Open With" application is displayed when I view a Get Info for that file type. So to fix this, I open a Get Info window on one of those types of files, and choose the PROPER default application in the "Open With" slot. This works, and then the new proper application name now shows in that slot. So then I click the "Change All" button and apply to all files of that file type. I receive the warning that I will be changing ALL files of that type. I choose "continue" because that is what I desire.
However, once I do that, (click Change All, then Continue button), the old, wrong application name jumps back the Open With slot! So the new, correct application choice doesn't "stick".
Oddly enough, it sort of DOES work, because if I then re-click in the Open With slot, although the old, the wrong application is back listed again, if I look up above that name, then my actual desired application is listed in a list, and it has the word (Default) beside it.
So if I do actually now double click any file of that type, then the proper application DOES launch and open the file.
But why does the Get Info window still display the wrong, non-default application in Open With? And furthermore, this causes all file types of that kind, to display the WRONG icon in any Finder window. They of course display, the icon of what is in the Open With slot list.
I am having this problem only with two file types and apps. (Cubase and Pro Tools---DAW audio apps). All of my Cubase files display a Pro Tools icon, and show as Open With: "Pro Tools" when of course it should display Open With: Cubase. As stated in the Open With list, Cubase is indeed there among other programs and it has the word (Default) beside it. So it sort of works when launching files. But I still cannot get Cubase to "stick" and stay in Open With after Change All!
Can anyone offer any tips on what might cause this and what fix is needed?
Thanks so much in advance!

Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

HT4259 I have looked all over for an explanation of the visual language of the "flowchart in airport utility-e.g., dotted lines vs solid; why the hierarchy of base stations in a network falls as it does and occasionally moves around?

I have looked all over for an explanation of the visual language of the "flowchart in airport utility 6.0 - e.g., dotted lines vs solid; why the hierarchy of base stations in a network falls as it does and occasionally moves around? Where will I find this explanation?

by falls did you mean fail?
Solid lines = Ethernet connection.
Dotted = WiFi.

With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?

With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?
For example, in Notes, I have written three notes; however if I click on 'All On My Mac' on the side bar, I see about 10 different versions of each note I make, it saves a version every time I add or delete a sentence.
I also noticed, that when I write an email, Mail saves about 10 or more draft versions before the final is sent.
I understand that all this journaling provides a level of security, and prevents data lost; but I was wondering, is there a function to clean up journal logs once in a while?
Thanks

Are you using Microsoft word? Microsoft thinks the users are idiots. They put up a lot of pointless messages that annoy & worry users. I have seen this message from Microsoft word. It's annoying.
As BDaqua points out...
When you copy information via edit > copy, command + c, edit > cut, or command +x, you place the information on the clipboard. When you paste information, edit > paste or command + v, you copy information from the clipboard to your data file.
If you edit > cut or command + x and you do not paste the information and you quite Word, you could be loosing information. Microsoft is very worried about this. When you quite Word, Microsoft checks if there is information on the clipboard & if so, Microsoft puts out this message.
You should be saving your work more than once a day. I'd save every 5 minutes. command + s does a save.

How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

you need to "Get Info" on the file first. Select it, right click and select 'Get Info' in the menu.
In the window that pops up, near the bottom, the "Open With" drop down menu needs changed. If the drop down menu does not present the one you want, select "Other" and find it.

How to bring back the black dot on the red close button for edited/unsaved files?

I've ticked the box for "Ask to keep changes when closing documents" System Preferences / General. I'm operating within Mac OS 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion).
When I make changes to an open file in most every program, a black dot appears on the red close button in the top-left corner of the file's window. This convention goes back a decade to early Mac OS X, as I recall.
However, I don't see this behavior in a few applications lately, such as Xcode 4.6.3 or QuickTime Player 10.2.
Anyone know how to bring this functionality back?
Thank you.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.
