two versions of text edit on same system!

Make sure you don't have a Previous Systems folder from a migrated OS X system or OS X upgrade.

 

Yea but if the Mac use bought just after the release of Lion the store might hace "upgraded" the Mac.

You never answered if you have Previous Systems folder or not.

 

2. Yes the store might have "upgraded" it.

3. It should be in the mail folder when you click on the mounted (on the desktop) hard drive.

One thing. To reset the contextual menu items in OS x just open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and put the code:

Code:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Then click the 'return' button. Close Terminal when you get another Terminal propt. This will mean the reset has finished.

 

The use Spotlight to find the two Textedit applications. One might be in a cloned backup, so check please Hence the contactual reset I wrote about will fix that setting.

 

You can delete the entire Previous System Folder. It would have to be old, because neither Snow Leopard nor Lion creates those folders, since they do not have the Archive and Install option. That folder contains a previous Leopard OS install, most likely, and you will not have need of anything in it.
