Using Mac Mail program. Firefox is my default browser. When I double click a URL link attachment, it won't open in Firefox. If I drag the link onto my desktop, I can double click on it and it will open in Firefox, but not directly from inside my e-mail.

Look for RCDefaultapp, it's a free system preference pane that can control things like that.

    Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Here are the steps for AirPlay:
    Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
    Tap the  icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
    Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
    Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
    Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
    When you do that you will see an Orange screen
    Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

  • Keynote presentations that will support small animations.  How can I do it.  Understand there might be some software which can be used via my desktop but not direct from iPad.

    I wish to insert small animations into a Keynote presentation which I can make from my desktop, although I will ultimately wish to deliver from my ipad.  Simon thought there could be some software available to make this happen.  Other people have said rename .gif files as .mov files, but cannot seem to do that.  Many thanks for any help.  M argret

    This is a user to user support forum.  We are all iphone users just like you.
    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
    "it's too fragile"
    No it is not.  i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
    " U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
    No you don't.  Why do you think this?
    "and there is no customer support!!!  "
    Wrong yet again.  Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
    "but I will go back with Blackberry "
    Please do.
    Good ridance

  • Can apple replace my stolen iphone? i bought apple care but not insurance from cspire.

    its just not fair. apple should at least make sure its stolen. apple care should cover theft. now i know the reason they wont replace apple products, because someone could easily say their iphone got stolen and didnt even have a phone in the firt place. Thats understandable but cant they check my records? ANYTHING! Check with my provider. Cspire knows my phone has been stolen for over a month. IT`s Gone. please! i dont want any other phone ! my account is still active. its suspended but not shut down. please ! is there anything i can do BESIDES find my iphone . that app is useless at times like this!

    It's a good idea to check the terms of your insurance first. Some companies will raise your rates as soon as you make any kind of claim, no matter how small, and the deductible may be so high that making a claim is not worthwhile.
    Sorry for the loss of your phone. It's a huge pain, I know.

  • ITunes not showing GET prompt next to gray podcast that have not been down loaded.  This is an subscribed to podcast.  I click on it and it will download ... but where is the GET icon

    Not seeing the GET icon in the podcast window along the shaded(gray) podcast names in the window containing a subscribed to podcast.  Now if I click on one of these podcast it will download.  Typical behavior was that I would see a handful of podcast and if I choose to I could select GET ALL or individually select GET to download independent podcast.

  • I got a video from iStore and it will play in iTunes but not on my iPod

    One of the videos i purchased back in Feb 2006 (TV show) was wiped from the purchased list with the iTunes 7 update and no longer shows up in any of the playlists anywhere on my iPod. I can play it in iTunes on my computer, but no matter what changes I tried, it won't update it to my iPod again.
    Other videos, such as smaller clips, that I purchased around the same time are still there and playable, as well as tv shows I have bought since. I still have a copy of the receipt for this video in my inbox. What can I try to do to get my iPod to recognize the file again?

    Perhaps it is time to try performing a RESTORE on your iPod and see if that clears it up.

    was useless.

  • I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

    I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

    Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder?  I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
    You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder.  Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks.  I suspect that will work.
    With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages.  If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

  • Hi, I have a mac mini..all of a sudden when I wake it up in the morning it says I didn't disconnect y external properly and it will try to retrieve the information..it finally appearsbut it never used to say I should disconnect the external before...help

    Hello, my mac mini has suddenly started displaying a warning sign when I wake it up..saying I didn't properly "eject" a device... It is referring to my external/backup hd {on which I store music files, photos, back up files, etc}.  It has never happened until yesterday... and I have had the hd hooked up for over a year.  Each night I just put my mini to sleep and when it wakes in the morning everything is fine... the only time I ever disconnect the external hd is when I completely shut down or unplug...the procedure then has been to turn off the mini...then disconnect the external hd and unplug it. This has always worked fine, then suddenly it says I haven't properly disconnected the external hd... I don't know what to do... am I supposed to use the eject button now before I shut down...and how can I do that... it will state that it is not able to be ejected because it is in use {the rotating photos in my monitor background are stored on the external hd}.  I am puzzled... don't want to lose the info on my external hd...but I need to be able to put my mini to sleep. Help, please.

    Have the pics allways been used off the external drive?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    Is Spotlight indexing that drive, or is it used by Time Machine?

  • Sending audio file using Mac Mail

    What would be the best way to send a short audio clip using Mac Mail to recipients who all have PC's?

    All I know is sometimes I receive documents, audio or video clips from friends who have PC's and they can't be played or opened up on my Mac because I don't have the proper applications to open them.
    I would assume the reverse could also happen depending on the program that created them.
    As an example: What if I send an audio clip taken from my iTunes Library and the person who receives it doesn't have iTunes and the only other program they have is Windows Media Player. Will they be able to open this file up?
    Thanks.

  • Using mac mail I can't click on link

    I use Mac Mail. When I get a email that I have to click a link to take me to Firefox nothing happens. If I restart my computer it will work for about 2 hours and then stop working again. I called Applecare and they had me delete the Cache. That didn't solve the problem. Now I am using Safari and it is working fine. I really prefer Firefox but need the link feature to work all the time.

    I am still using two browsers but it's interesting that I don't have this problem with my Mac Laptop. Mac Mail works fine with Firefox. I have called Apple twice and they have no solution. I did un-install Firefox and then re-installed it but that didn't help. I'm still looking for a solution !!

  • Can't log into Gmail using Mac Mail client

    Wow, after upgrading Lion for iCloud and upgrading my iPad2 for IOS5, I can no longer get Gmail on either one using Mac Mail as the client. I get a little triangular caution symbol next to the Gmail account in Mac Mail.  I tried deleting the account and recreating it, and when the account setup wizard tries to connect, I get the following:
    "Logging in to the Google IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" failed.  Make sure the username and password you entered are correct then click Continue.  If the information isn't correct, you cannot receive messages"
    This doesn't make any sense, since the account has always worked in the past.  Simultaneous to that, I have started having the same problem on the iPad, which never had trouble logging in before either.
    Anybody else encountering this?

  • I use a Win7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my calendar and contacts. I can enter data in my Outlook Calendar and it will appear in iCloud, but data entered in iCloud does not sync back to Outlook.  ICloud syncs to my iphone fine both ways.

    I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar.  They have stopped syncing...mostly.
    Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine.  But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar.  If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
    Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
    All syncing works with my iPhone.
    I have signed out of iCloud on PC.  I have stopped syncing and re-started.  No change.
    I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud.  I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot.  However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.

    Hi Jim!
    You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
    Note: When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
    If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
    When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
    Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
    Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
    Close Outlook.
    Open the Windows Control Panel:
    In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
    Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
    Outlook 2010:
    Open Outlook 2010.
    Click the File menu.
    Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
    Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
    Open Outlook 2007.
    From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
    Select Add-ins from the left column.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
