Setting Default Applications

[thesdx]

Hi! I'm somewhat new to Macs and accidentally set Camino to the default browser. How do you change the defaults?

 

[motulist]

find a file that you want to set the default app for, in this case a .html file, then in the finder do a get info on that file, hit the button to change the default app for that file, then hit the change all button.

I did "Get Info" on Safari, but I didn't see anything for making it the default app.

No no, I said do a get info on a .html file in the finder, not in safari. Maybe you should describe the problem you're having in more detail.

Basically, I want to set Safari as the default web browser.

Dude, if you want help you need to put more effort into it. We don't get paid for this, it's a community thing. I said describe the problem.

Open up Safari and in the Preferences, choose Safari as the default browser. You can access the Preferences via the Safari menu.

No worries mate. If ever you want to change it to something else, you'll still have to do it through Safari. It's a bit of a strange OSX quirk.
