• Unknown file type. Extension: ogg _

  What kind of program I need to open the files with extension: ogg?

• Write to spread generates file of journal of type unknown file in windows 7.

  Hi all, I use the Vi 'Write in a spreadsheet file' for writing data in text files. These data can be read by any text editor, such as Notepad in MS, or excel. The problem is that

  Windows detects these files as being of an unknown type, and I have to explicitly tell windows what program to use to open these files. In addition, for some reason any the

  Box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is grayed out. So I can't assign a file type to these files.

  Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do you know how to fix it? And what type of files 'Write in a spreadsheet file' generates?

  Thanks for your help,

  What extension do you use to create your files?  I agree that it seems that you do not provide a file extension.  Add a ".txt" to your file names before writing and Windows will play more nicely with you.  Or if you use a comma as separator, use ".csv".

• The Associations of all feature works not just for some file types

  I'm having some problems with the functionality of all Associations, located in the section default programs in Control Panel.  There are a number of types/protocols files that are set up to be opened with the wrong default programs.  When I go to change the program, the browse option doesn't let me choose the program I want.  One of the files I'm having this problem with is the .docx file.  I want to put in place to make the default Microsoft Word program, but he keeps recommending Microsoft Word Viewer and will not let me choose Microsoft Word on my computer.  I know this isn't a major problem and that the files can be opened by Word by using other methods.  It's just annoying, and it bothers me when something does not work on my computer.  A lot of files/protocols are also unknown application listed under the column of default program.  I know that is not normal.  Any of you know what is the cause?

  RE docx default program

  You have MS Office Word. How to uninstall Word Viewer?
  Then, check the Aoosociate file type or Protocol of a program. See if MS Office Word is now the default program to open docx.

  If necessary, use the option open with to set MS Office Word as the default program to open docx.

• Time Machine destruction by file type?

  Is it possible to find files on the Machine of time per file type (in this case the .psd files) and delete them? PSD eat huge amounts of storage, so I convert to JPEG for the photo archives.

  DO NOT delete the backups Time Machine! Time Machine will do this automatically, enter TM and edit it by removing backups may make TM crash against the purpose of having a backup plan. If you think you need more space then get a bigger DHM and move your TM top backup history. It is relatively simple and inexpensive to do.

  Hello, the mobile version of firefox is not available on the windows phone platform: Firefox work on my mobile?

  There was technical and legal obstacles in the app store initially that discouraged mozilla to start any developments in this direction. I do not know the current situation, but given that mozilla is now focusing its efforts on the creation of firefox os as a platform open source web-based, I doubt you'll see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...

• No option to save the file, type of content/file missing in the list of Applications

  I want to be able to click on a link to a file and have the option to open the file with a specified application.

  When you click on the file I want to open with a specified application, I get a save or cancel the option.
  When I look in Preferences > Applications, the file type is missing from the list.

  It worked. It no longer works. It is not a problem with the Web site. I need to know where in FF settings I can change that.

  Have you checked how servers send the files?

  You can rename (or delete) the file mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder of Firefox to reset all the actions file.

• I set firefox to open a file type (.) SGF) w / a program, but it doesn't, so I put it to save/apply and no work option, it always opens file link in a new tab.

  I went into Options and set the. SGF with Smartgo open file. He refuses to do. Clicking on a link to one. SGF file simply open the file as a text in a new tab.

  Given that it did not work, I tried to get firefox to download instead, because then I can open it using the window file type associations. It will not download the file, unless I actually do a right-click and save-as in the link.

  It is tedious when displaying a lot of these files. I even put it to wonder after seeing the download option did not work. He don't ask me. What happens here?

  Also, I use firefox 23

  EDIT: It seems to be the specific Web site. Some sites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others just it open in a tab in the form of text. What is causing this gap and can it be overcome thanks to the browser settings?

  A sample Web site to highlight the issue is:
  http://igokisen.Web.FC2.com/WR/LG.html
  clicking on one of these links will not download, open, or ask questions about what you want to do with the file.

  What happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
  You can see if you open "tools > Page Info > general": Content-Type: text/plain

  Sent files that this way is always open in a tab.

• How to import a backup of bookmarks in the file file type?

  Well, I had a computer installed Windows Vista with Mozilla Firefox, but I was getting rid of him. Therefore, I used the backup tool to give me a backup file to restore on my new computer. The file is in the file type, not JSON or HTML file, even though I didn't know it was a problem. Now, this computer has disappeared and I try to get my favorites on it but it won't work. How to make this work?

  What kind of backup do you have? A backup of the bookmarks Organizer or a backup using the program MozBackup?

  If you have used MozBackup, you must install it on the new computer to decode the backup. http://mozbackup.JasnaPaka.com/

  If you have used the bookmarks Organizer, you can simply add .json at the end of the file name.

• Always downloaded files like "attachment.ashx" instead of the file name and file type they actually are.

  Since I installed the new version of Firefox (version 8.0), I download each file is downloaded as "attachment.ashx" and will not open. I need to change the name and the type of file to open the document.

  This happens regardless of whether I download e-mail, a Web site, etc... All the files I downloaded also have been appointed and had added of file types, but Firefox them changes every time. I've never had this problem before using the same sites and downloads.

  Hi Linda,.

  You can download and rename the file with a .doc extension, so you can open them with word, sorry for my late reply.

• Some file types are not not in the settings of Applications

  OS: Windows XP SP3
  Firefox 4.0 & Pale Moon 4.0.5

  I have a problem when I download files from the executable (.exe) type. Previously, I checked the sign while Firefox will automatically download the file via the Download Manager. Unfortunately, some sites do not allow download with it. But when I want to change the setting, I can't find the type of executable files in the application settings. So, how I normally redownload? Help, please!

  I think that you need should be in settings of the add-on - we.

  Firefox tools > Options > Applications is for downloads that are in need of an application to open. The executables are designed to run directly on the operating system rather than be opened by another application. In addition, executable files are generally sent from the server with a generic binary file header, so Firefox will not be able to match up to the top with a particular file type.

• Unknown file found by EtreCheck - need help to decipher!

  Hi, I run Yosemite 10.10.5 on a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2010 "

I copied the report here that I hope someone can help me decrypt. I wonder more about the unknown file found & don't know what to do - my technical/computer language skills are sorely unfortunately.
