Problems mailing pages from Safari

At one time I was able to mail web pages or links from Safari with Mountain Lion, but now it has stopped working. The first time I try to mail a page, I'll get a new mail window open (and probably not coincidentally, a second instance of the Mail icon in the dock) but it presents me with a "Loading..." message that lasts until I quit it.
If I simply close that mail window, any other pages that I try to mail will not even open a new mail window until I force-quit the extra Mail app from the dock.
Anyone else seen anything like this, or have any ideas about what might be causing it or how to fix it?

Having two instances of Mail running is definitely not right. If the OS were functioning properly, it should not let more than one instance of Mail run in the same user account.
Restart your computer while at the same time holding down 'command-R' on the keyboard. When the Utilities window appears, choose 'Install OS X' from the menu. Your user data and apps will not be affected (just the system files get reinstalled), but do take the precaution of making proper backups before you do this.

  • Unable to mail webpages from Safari

    I am unable to email "links to" or "contents of page" from safari I get the following message:
    This issue was carried over from Leopard and is the same in Snow Leopard.
    Any suggestions? And yes mail is installed.

    Hi Jeff
    The disconnect is caused by a misread of the setting in Mail preferences.
    Try this: open Mail and go to Mail preferences>General panel. At the top, select an default email reader option other than Mail (it doesn't matter what you select), then close the panel. Now reopen the same General panel and reselect Mail as your default email reader. Close the panel, restart Safari and try the Command/I or Command/Shift/I for sending a web page, or related link.

  • Mail link from Safari freezes?

    When attempting to "mail link to this page" from Safari the screen goes to gray, and refuses to respond.  The only "fix" is to abandon the attempt.  Why is this happening and is there a solution?  It has happened on an increasing number of various sites.

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try deleting this file. com.apple.Safari.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, post a crash log.
    How to locate a crash log:
    1. Open Finder.
    2. Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
    3. Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog:
~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
    4. Click the Go button.
    5. Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the most recent.

  • Safari Printing: Prints blank pages from Safari

    I can print from Word and other applications, but it just prints blank white pages from Safari- everything in Safari- not just e-mail.
    Already reset Safari
    Already downloaded Mac updates
    Help!

    I found one possible work around. I too tried to print a multipage TV schedule from Safari. Printed first page and then multiple blank pages. Tried saving the schedule to PDF and Preview did the same thing. . .printed first page and then blank pages.
    Finally opened the PDF file with Adobe Reader and it all printed out just fine. Hope this helps until Safari is fixed.
    BTW I just upgraded to tiger and then 10.4.3. Before upgrading I deleted all the HP 6110 software and rebooted. Then I upgraded to Tiger and ran the Combo 10.4.3 updater. Then I configured my 6110 using the Tiger installed drivers and it printed fine. Then I downloaded and installed the current HP software and installed that. Everything works perfectly, scanning docs and pictures, coping and regular printing.

    Ok..   see if emptying the Safari cache helps.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and try sharing a webpage.

  • Not receiving Mail using "Mail Contents of this page" from Safari 4

    I am having a similar problem with Mail with Safari. When I select "Mail Contents of this page" from the Safari 4 menu, it opens mail properly and will send. But email is never received. If I check the sent folder it is there. I have tested this sending to myself and family in same house and will not show up. I have noticed that sometimes it will not even show up in sent folder. I have tested on the same webpage the "Mail Link of this page: and this appears to work.

    Niel,
    thanks. I am feeling enlightened.
    1) Imagine I am using my .Mac mail address and some ISP such as ATT. ATT has provided me with an email address, but I do not use it. I am using my .mac.com address. In this case, the amount of mail I can send is restricted by ATT email regulations?
    2) And those people who may want to send a massive amount of emails may use a company like MailChimp in order to circumvent rules imposed by the email provider?

  • I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

    I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

    When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
    And how much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
    Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
    Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

  • Why can't I share web pages from Safari in ios8?

    ios 8 is supposed to be all great and wonderful. But a key feature I use has suddenly stopped working. When trying to share a link/URL from Safari vie email, the entire message disappears before sending is even possible. It vanishes as soon as I select the first recipient. It disappears if I try to enter a subject line. It disappears if I try to change my sending account.
    Yes, I restarted the iPad Air 128GB. No joy.
    I even tried to share through the Chrome browser, but had the exact same result. With Chrome, I have the ability to remove the app, and reinstall it in an attempt to troubleshoot. But how do I remove and reinstall Safari or the native mail app in an attempt to reinstall?
    IS anyone else encountering this problem? Or is it just something else I'm either imagining or doing wrong?

    Of course, before coming here to look for a solution, I tried everything I possibly could, including soft closing the apps, and rebooting the entire device.
    For the record, I just tried to send a link in the exact same manner from Safari on my 4S (which is now running ios8), and it, too, did the exact same thing. Unfortunately, I can't easily reboot the phone because the power button is having issues, but I would expect that a hard reboot would not work.
    Two completely separate devices behaving exactly the same way. This feels very buggy.

  • Unable to send mail link from Safari

    After updating to Yosemite, I am unable to email a link from Safari's toolbar. The same thing happens with Share, I see "no service". Can anybody assist?

    This seems to be linked to a bug. We are all having issues and it seems linked to the no widgets problem also.
    Alot of us have no built in widgets along with the Social Widget not working & Social Sharing including Email not working in Safari.
    We found a manual fix for the widgets as seen on page 2 in this post.
    How to get widgets in OS X notification center?
    But we need Apple to patch the Social Widget and Social/Email Sharing in Safari as it worked in the Beta but not in the Final Release for most people including myself.

  • Can't view pages from Safari on my Mac

    When I'm on a website & need to display a page, it comes up dark grey. I don't know which program is having a problem, or how to reset so that I can see the content. I'm fairly certain that all my programs are up to date, this problem began several months ago. Prior to that, I had no problems viewing them in Safari, my preferred browser. Lately, if this happens, I need to open FireFox to view. Any suggestions on what went wrong, and how to fix it? I really don't like having to switch browsers, as it slows me down quite a bit.

    Depending on your version of Mac OS X and Safari,  it may vary.

  • Printing blank pages from Safari

    Trying to print a page from the web on Safari.  When print preview opens it shows a blank page.  I've tried to save as a PDF with the same results.  This is getting frustrating.  I shouldn't have to import things into preview or Adobe to print form the web.  Any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Problems pasting pages from another document

    Hi guys,
    I used to copy pages from one ID document to another very easily before. I don't know why i cannot do it now.
    I have both InDesign CS 6 files. I open them both in two separated windows but when i select copy from page 3 (the short 6 pages News Section) to the end into the large Document number two (the whole magazine) there is a mix of blank pages, weird styles and two new sections that never appear before.

    You can only do this with MobileMe setup. If you do have MobileMe on your Mac, then you need to go into System Preferences, Click on MobileMe, Click on Sync tab, then make sure that Bookmarks is clicked on.
