I can't find a definitive answer on how to make VLC my Default audio/media player. At the moment itunes is opening all my music and placing it in its library which I don't want to happen.
Everytime I double click on a QT file, it opens with Quicktime Player rather than Quicktime Pro 7 (which I also have). Can I change the default settings so it opens with QT Pro 7?Â
I am trying to burn music and now my default player is Spotify, but I want it to be iTunes again. How do I switch this back? I am operating on the 10.7.4 Macbook Air.
I searched the forums and couldn't find anything on it. I recently reinstalled Quicktime, now everytime I download an .MP3 file to my desktop or wherever, it has Quicktime as the default MP3 player..... Even when I right click it and do Open With... and select Always Open With (iTunes) it just selects that one file to open with iTunes everytime. I was seeing if there was a way to make iTunes my default MP3 player for all mp3s..... It seems to only be occuring with newly downloaded files. All my older MP3's still open in iTunes.
How do I set my default video player to VLC Media Player instead of using Quicktime? I want all my video files to open always with VLC Media Player. I know you can right click on the video and select it to open with VLC media player from now on, but with over 400 videos, that can be very time consuming!
I have a slightly older Macbook Pro, on OSX 10.5.8.I have a bunch of video files on a wireless networked hard drive and the directory mapped to my desktop for easy access.I also have VLC installed for video playback.All the files are *.m4v.
When I click to open one of these files it starts copying the whole file over the network to my iTunes, and insisting on opening from iTunes.If I click on File -> Open With -> it shows iTunes as the default.I can click on File -> Open With -> VLC and this works just fine.But how do I change the default video player?All I want to do is stream it over my internal home network, I don't want copy the darn file every time I want to play something.

I have acrobat installed, and every time I view a pdf through safari, it views it with acrobat. I want it to do it with Preview instead, but I don't know how!
in other words when I'm in Safari, and I click on a link of a pdf file, I want it to display the pdf in the browser with Preview instead of acrobat.
I 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?
I'm a bit of an audiophile sitting in my home studio listening to music. I just switched to mac and was wondering if there's some music application that can play music files in a suberb quality through a 24-bit soundcard.

For a few months now I have noticed that the audio player for WAV attachments in mail doesn't display the entire audio bar. Instead, it appears to be cut off in the middle, only showing the play button, and the first part of the audio progress bar.

having my eyes get used to the 1900x1200 resolution in my 17" unibody macbook pro's screen is probably not good with the macbook air's 1280x800 resolution i use at home, so i need to press "cmd -" every time i browse some pages.
is there any way to make safari load pages with smaller text size? 1 press of "cmd -" is probably good enough.
How do I make Firefox the default browser? I.e. when there's a link in an e-mail I'm reading on mail and I click on it, I want the link to be opened by Firefox, not Safari.
I like Preview.app to be my primary app to open pdf and pictures. When I want to edit I will open the app I need and drag document to the icon to open. Something changed and now Adobe Acrobat has become my default. I want to change back to Preview.
