OS X :: How To Change Default Program

Oct 27, 2007

As it's default setting, .wmv files open up with VLC. How do I change it so it's default program is Quicktime? I have the codec installed and it plays with no problem. I know I can go into "get info" and check "always open with" but it only does it with that file and not all .wmv files

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Change Default Email Program?

Mar 15, 2012

Like I presume everyone else, Mail is our default email program.

However I have recently been using Postbox and I rather like it, so I have sidelined Mail.

Problems arise when I schedule reminders and invitations from iCal - it immediately wants to start up the Mail program and not Postbox.

At the moment I am running the two email programs alongside each other which really isn't practical.

Info:
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

OS X Mavericks :: Cannot Change Default Program To Open Specific File Type

Jun 2, 2014

Whenever I attempt to change the default program to open a file, it automatically reverts to whatever was selected previously. I work with a lot of .ai files and my default Illustrator version is set to Creative Cloud. CC crashes constantly on my machine, however CS6 runs smooth as silk. I'd like to be able to double click an .ai file and have it open in CS6, not CC. When I right click > Get Info > Open with and change it, it reverts as soon as I click "Change all..." 

Info:
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

Windows On Mac :: No Default Mail Program Error

Sep 19, 2010

Been on Windows 7 for a while now, and when I first installed Windows 7 (upgrade from Vista) I've been getting an error saying I have no default mail program. I use Windows Mail with my hotmail account, but it still gives me an error. I did not do a clean install of Win7, I upgraded it (to where it saved all of my previous data)

Applications :: Make 'RAR Expander' Default Program For .rar Files?

Apr 6, 2009

How do I make "RAR expander" my default program for .rar files?Or is there another program you would recommend?

Background:I used "RAR expander" for a long time until I came across a file it was not compatible with. I then downloaded and installed "The Unarchiver" and it worked on the file "RAR expander" would not open.

After that "The Unarchiver" became the default program for .rar files. The problem is that "The Unarchiver" does not work well with password protected files. So for months now I have just manually opened "RAR expander" whenever I try to open a password protected file.

I want to keep both programs so I will be able to open any file, but as I rarely use "The Unarchiver" I would like to have that be the one I have to dig through sub-folders to use. That is, unless there is some excellent program I have not tried.

I am a recent Mac switcher and am using Pages as my word processing software. After being a long-time Microsoft Word user, I have grown accustomed to the default font of Times New Roman, and I would prefer to continue using that for Pages as well.

OS X :: How To Change Default File Permissions

Sep 21, 2009

Using OS X Leopard 10.5.8 on PowerPC G5. We have 15 people sharing files on a network. If we open a file on the network, work on it, and save it, it is readable and writable for everybody. But if we drag the file off the network, work on it on our own hard drive, and save it, and then drag it back to the network, it is read-only for everybody. Documents made on our own hard drives are, by default, read-only for others. This is a real time waster for us!

This means that every time we make a document on our own hard drives, we have to remember to go to the extra trouble to change it's permissions before we put it on our network. Please, is there some way to change the default settings, so that if I, say, save a Word doc on my hard drive and then move it to the network, it is readable and writable by everybody without me having to change it's permissions?

OS X :: Change Default Permissions When Writing To HD?

So I was wondering if it was possible to change the default driver?? Or how can I get this to work?
