Best Answer

The default application that opens a file type can be found and changed for any file. Click the file and press command i. A window will open with information (i) about the file. One of the items is the name of the default application that will open that type of file. Click that and other apps that can open the file will be listed. You can select a new app and have it open that particular file or all the files of that type. You may need an administrator's name and password to do this.

Is it possible to hack into a Mac computer?

It is possible to hack into a Mac. If you have physical access to the Mac then it is possible to hack into it. If you can persuade someone to download a script that will give you access to the Mac then it is possible to hack into the Mac remotely - this was the case at the recent pwn2own contest. Another answer: It is getting even easier as more people get MACs. The default for Mac computers is "accept all incoming." A program can now get into a MAC computer and take it over without the user realizing it. Anyone with a MAC should go into System Preferences and into security. You should change from the default to block all incoming. That way only programs that you send out, such as Safari can receive replies. No one can hack into your computer.
