How To Fix Multiple Items in the Mac OSX ‘Open With’ Menu —
Ever get that annoying problem when even after removing a app from OSX it still shows in your ‘open with’ menu for certain file types or the same app shows multiple times? Annoying isn’t it? Don’t worry though, it’s easy to fix. Just open up Terminal and paste in the following lines (all at once) to fix the problem!
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\
Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister \
-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Nice tip. One addition: you need to relaunch the Finder afterwards
Leopard has this in a new path:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Fixes multiple entries all the same
thank you!
A newbee here. Sounds great, but I’m not sure where in Terminal would I paste it? I need to remove an old version of Graphic Converter…
Thank you in advance for your help.
