Mac - Open files with specific program


Got a bunch of mp3's, but don't want them to always load in iTunes? Want pictures to launch straight into a photo editor?


Alternate scenario, any variety of office, photo, or video software can sometimes change the the default program for a file type.

On Mac:

  1. Highlight a file of type in question; for example a .jpg file
  2. On the menu bar, go to "File" > "Get Info" or hit ⌘ + i
  3. A window will pop out, go to the "Open With" arrow and in the drop-down, select the program you want, and hit "Change All"
  4. A confirmation dialogue pops up, confirm, and voila! All .jpg files now open with that program
