Anyone have an explanation for this one? As you can see in the linked-to image, some options appear twice when I open the "Open With" submenu. I don't have two instances (or two versions) of the same software installed, so it isn't that - and at any rate, it occurs with other applications, too - for example, two listings for TextEdit appear in the "Open With" submenu I have a Word document selected.
Any ideas? I tried searching the forum without success. Running 10.4.6. Thanks! |

You need to rebuild your launch services. Give me a few minutes and I'll find you a link.

That has happened to me when I have my external HD with my backup system plugged in. I guess it means there are more then one version of a program to open it with.
The things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything. |

There are also instances where Voiceover causes duplication of some menu items.

If you'd like some insight, Brad, if that had turned up in my search results, I would have! Unfortunately, the terms I used either brought back nothing, or WAY too much to sort through (hundreds of results, many clearly not on point). Did I kill the site's bandwidth with this thread? And thanks for the help DMBand0026! |

Well, it's not like it's sitting there at the very top of the Genius Bar forum every time you load it.
