OS X :: Play MP3 From Stack Without Actually Opening File
Nov 17, 2010
When I'm in finder or on my desktop I'm able to hover above an MP3 and it brings up the option to play it without opening itunes or anything. However when I'm in the documents folder in the stack at the bottom next to the dock and I hover above an MP3 it doesn't give me that option. You have to actually click it to open it in itunes or another program to listen. Is there a setting for this? Is it possible to have it just play there the same way as if it was on the desktop or in a finder folder?

When I have files in a stack and, in the file's directory, I hide the extension, stacks does not update the fact that the extension is now hidden unless I remove and re-add the stack.

I have a G4, dual 450, 1G Ram running 10.4.11. Recently after downloading and opening an .rar file, a file named .DS_Store appeared on the desktop. I have since deleted the .rar file, but cannot delete the .DS file. It is appearing now in all of my programs, including my camera when I plug it in. I've tried ClamXav, MacScan, and DnsChangerRemovaltool, also What'sKeepingMe, but nothing can remove it. Info says it's a document, 16 KB, and it reads as date created the last time I turned the machine on. Can anyone tell me what this is and how I can get rid of it?

I'm still learning new things with my MBP. I have some mp3s placed on the desktop and I know there's a play arrow in the middle and I can play them. Well I stumbled upon a way to play the song without iTunes opening, but it had what looked like a real music player with play, FF, RW. I'm guessing I used some finger gesture to get it to do that, anybody know how I can recreate it? I tried searching, but can't figure it out. As I said, still learning all the cool tricks with the Mac! Anyways, to clarify, it did NOT open iTunes, but had an mp3 player. Also, it was not quicktime player. It was bigger than just a tiny rectangle with RW, Play, and FF. No software was opened, but there was still a big rectangular box that opened.

I had this hilarious idea to write a program for my schools computers. I want to make so that when people open it all it does is play the music video for "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. I want it so that it will not stop playing and you cant quit out of it. Does anyone have ideas on how to do this?

I'm sure this has already been posted, and I apologize if it has, but a couple of searches turned up empty.Anyway, I just discovered this today and I'm praying this is a bug and not a "feature". When you click the pause/play button on the Apple Remote, iTunes opens and begins playing. The same thing happens when you hit the pause/play button on the media bar. I thought I was becoming dyslexic because iTunes kept playing randomly. It was only until today when I discovered this bug while playing a file in VLC. Apparently it happens with pretty much any app.

setting to be able to open a file before it is saved. for example clicking on a torrent link file only gives you the option to save it. how to bypass the save and let it open straight to the default torrent program or whatever you got set up as the default program.

This may be a silly question but when I have multiple finder windows open and I switch from one to the other then single click on a file, it opens the file.
This is really bugging me as I only want to select the file (to move it etc). Is there any way to prevent single click file opening?

I want to be able to open my iPhone movies in iMovie so I can edit them in there. I know that I need to import my video into iPhoto and then from there open it in iMovie, but that is where I am stuck. I can import into iPhoto, but how do I then open it in iMovie. I opened the file which opened in Quicktime and then I saved the file on my desktop and from there opened it in iMovie, but the resulting upload to Youtube was very poor quality even though it should have been 720p.

Is it possible to AUTO PRINT when opening a PDF with a specific file name?
I ask this as I always have to print invoices that are PDF's for my business that are saved as file name
orders.pdf
Is it possible to automate the system so whenever I open a PDF file titled orders.pdf that it prints everything on the pdf without me having to click print?
Just thought it might shave of a little bit of time each day and teach me something new on my iMac.

I have been given a ~400 slide Powerpoint Presentation, and need to extract all the text from it.
However, when trying to open it in Powerpoint 2004, it just quits everytime it attempts to open the 90Mb file.
Keynote has had more success, but I really do not want to be copying and pasting every slide into a document.

lately my Quicktime X gives me a delay of 10-15 seconds and a beachball before playing any file. Quicktime 7 plays without a hitch instantly. This is true of files on all locations on my Mac.
The file opens instantly, I see the first frame, but before it plays it will berachball. It is true for video and audio files.

It started about a week ago. I dunno if it's a problem with Flash or what. But any time I try to open a video on sites such as gizmodo, engadget, youtube, or full episodes from like [URL]. whichever browser I attempt to open it with just completely crashes. This has been getting worse and worse and now it literally happens 100% of the time.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both browsers multiple times to no avail. I am REALLY dreading reinstalling my entire OS. Is there a way I can completely eliminate flash from my computer? Then I can manually download it from Adobe directly and see if that works.

I have some .numbers files that I need a friend to look at on her pc with Excel 2003 SP3, but it's not working for her. I have changed the extension to .xls but it's no good, as when she tries to open them they are all gobbledegook.
Here's a snapshot of the various files I have, but notice how the icons for each is different, or rather that there are two distinct designs? Some of them DO open in Excel, but some do not.
