In the past, when I used TeXShop to write documents, Preview from the Mac OS/X was used by the system to open pdf documents. For unknown reason, it seems that Adobe program is being used to open the pdf documents recently. Anybody knows how to set the default pdf viewer to Preview?
View 1 RepliesMy default pic viewer is Xee, but once I edit a pic in Photoshop, it gets opened in Photoshop. This may be a PS question but I'm not sure. I want all my pics I edited with PS to be opened with Xee, what do I do?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have already set the default application to open PDFs to Preview by using the "Open with..." and "Change All" option.
Now PDFs open in Preview, but I have a weird side effect: when I create a PDF (from Microsoft Word, etc.) the document is created with an Adobe Reader ICON, it then quickly changes to a Preview ICON (and opens in Preview).
PDFs are doing what I want, but the flash of Adobe Reader ICON (pun intended) is quite annoying. I have searched through the Adobe Reader Preferences and can find nothing that seems related.

Installing the latest Adobe Reader causes Preview to be overwritten by Reader as the default PDF reader in Safari. There's a setting in Adobe Reader prefs that should aloow one to change the setting, but it is greyed out. You'll need to go to your HD/Library/Internet Plug-in folder and remove the Adobe plug-ins. Quit and restart Safari, then Preview is default again.

I was wondering what everyone uses as a VNC viewer. I have been looking for one, but I have not found one that I really like that works well with tiger.

I have got iWork '08 and love Keynote far more than PowerPoint but my uni uses Windows PC's so it means I have to use PowerPoint for my lectures.
I know that if you save a Keynote presentation as a quicktime file, that works, but very few of the PC's have iTunes/quicktime installed.
I have a problem that safari uses adobe acrobat to display pdf files. I would like to change this setting back and use the standard viewer that comes with the system.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe Quicktime Player that was included with my MAC doesn't work very well for me. When it loads into the browser there is no way to resize it so all you get are tiny movies on my nice big monitor. Also, it doesn't play WMV (it just downloads the file and shows it as a text file). I'm used to WMP playing everything that I needed. Is there a simple movie player that I could use on the MAC?

I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and anytime i view a PDF file in Safari, it asks what application to use, and after i select Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional it takes a minute to load.
How can i make Safari read PDF's the default way but PDF files on my hard drive through Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional?
I installed Acrobat but does OSX come with a native PDF viewer already?
View 15 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out a way set my default applications for email. I don't want the Mail app because I use hotmail. Right now if I click on an email address it tries to open mail, which I can't use. If I just erase Mail, the nothing pops up if I click an email address. What am I supposed to do?
In Windows there is a way to set the default program to open any file with a given extension.
I can't find any such option in OSX. Granted that I am new to the Mac, but this eludes me.
Just wondered if anyone knows of any free powerpoint viewers? I don't use powerpoint normally and don't really want to buy MS office but some friends sometimes send me jokes or pics set up as powerpoint presentations and I'd like to able to view them at home.

I am looking for a good photo viewer for Mac. Windows has tons of free viewers that lets you rotate or crop while you browse thru your photo. I am looking for something that when I click on a photo in Finder, I can easily rotate it zoom in
View 24 Replies View RelatedA few days ago I was looking for the ability to use an on screen keyboard in OS X. I found the option through System Preferences --> Language & Text --> Input Sources.
After I turned it off (by unchecking Keyboard & Character Viewer) I still see the Keyboard Viewer pop up when I go to install anything. I don't see the Input Menu in my Menu Bar anymore.
Anyone know how to disable it for good?
I have a new MacBook Pro (100% up to date) and when i click links for PDFs, Safari opens up a new tab and the whole tab is a darker grey color and the PDF never displays. I have followed many suggestions of deleting this AdobePDFViewer file but unfortunately I do not possess it. So I downloaded Adobe Reader and installed it. I set it to not be the default and to not open PDFs from Internet. I deleted Adobe Reader and then I found the AdobePDFViewer file and I also deleted that. But I still can not view PDFs in Safari.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had Adobe Reader on my MacBook Pro and it was fine until the latest software update. Now it won't show virtually any .pdf downloaded from the internet even if I "trust" the site.
I have removed it from my Mac even thought Adobe gives no support on how to uninstall. I just want to set Preview up as my default .pdf viewer.
Why is the viewer distorted and discolored? The second picture is a screen shot of the master file.

Suddenly, all my applications in the applications folder have disappeared! I was suspicious when, trying to open up various apps on my dock, they wouldn't open and I got a question mark over the icons. It is showing '0' applications. I tried copying my applications from my external hard drive. It looks like it is copying over and when the copying is finished, poof, it disappears and applications folder shows '0'. I am on Mac OS 10.3.9, iMac (lamp-shade style), processor is 800 MHz G4, and memory is 768 MB. This is pretty critical, I can't do anything with no applications! (Would this be some strange virus?)

I've been using Office forever but just decided to try iWork, and it turns out I love it 100x more than Office. I'm totally going to buy it when my trial expires. Before I do, one quick question that seems kind of obvious, even though I can't find the answer anywhere - is there any way to make iWork applications the default over Office?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several seasons of a TV show downloaded to my MacBook Pro and I'd like to burn the content onto a blank DVD. I'm still new to Mac so I didn't know what applications could be used to do this. I thought iDVD could do it, so I when I inserted the blank DVD, I (stupidly) made it my default to have iDVD open when I put a blank DVD in. I found that it didn't work in iDVD so I'd like to just do it with Finder... How do I change my default setting so I can do it with Finder instead?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, and therefore have Quicktime X in addition to Quicktime 7 Pro (I paid the $30 to upgrade). Since I have the Pro version of Quicktime 7, I want all movie files to open with Quicktime 7. I opened the Get Info window for a .mov file I just downloaded, switched the default application to Quicktime 7, and pressed the "Change All" button. However, if I close the Get Info window and open it back up, the default application has switched back to Quicktime Player Launcher. How do I get Quicktime 7 to be the default application for all Quicktime files?

How do I configure Mail to make just one of the email addy's the DEFAULT address every time I create email?
I feel stupid for even asking this because it seems like something I'd normally be able to figure out but I've searched a bit with no results. Oddly enough, this only seems to have become an issue since the 10.6.4 update. In Mail, I can't seem to set the default email address to be used when composing a new email.
