On your Mac the default programs to Open are installed on certain files. But you can change it also. So you don't have to always Open "..." to select, for example, a movie in "VLC" instead of "QuickTime" to play. We will show you how this works.

To change the default program to Open it on the Mac

  • Click with the right mouse button (two fingers) on the appropriate file.
  • Select in the context menu the entry "information" (see image).
"Information"
  • Expand the menu-item "next to Open with:" through the small arrow to the left (see image).
  • Select the desired program.
  • Confirm with "change All...".
