Adding a webpage link to a banner in OS X Mail

Hi. I do a lot of charity work for the Meningitis Trust. They have kindly sent me a banner that I can display on my email signatures. I would like to be able to add a link to this so that should you click on the banner this will direct you to my awareness and fundraising web page for the Trust.
Can someone please help how I would do this.
Many thanks.
Dave

I apologize, in my first reply above, I wasn't too clear in my response. The safe mode reboot did not work. However, I used another user account on this computer and had no problems whatsoever attaching files and images. I wonder if there is some problem with my user profile... Another piece of the puzzle is that I've been having tons of problems with Safari in my user account. It is extremely slow in loading webpages. On the other user account, it works without problem.
I don't have much of anything installed in terms of plug-ins on my computer or extensions in Safari. Maybe I need to create a new user account???

What html code will start an EXE (program) with a click on a webpage link?

The code in bold below worked. After I switched my browser from IE 11 to Firefox to get the hover on hotspots to work, the program gave me this error message. I moved the EXE file to my local file folder and tried it as shown below. Still no success. Any suggestions?

Perhaps this might be helpful:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/
It allows executables in Firefox to be run - it is an extenstion, though, so it must be installed in Firefox before your page will work.
Another option is this solution, but it will still require a manual change in Firefox:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=803615
Or this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6472435/running-exe-in-firefox-why- do-i-get-an-error
However, you will still have problems with getting it to work cross-browser. Honestly, browsers are not supposed to have access like that to the client side file system, which absolutely makes sense for the web.
That is why you may have to approach the solution from a different angle - perhaps create a server side cloud version of your application(s) which can be easily accessed and run by your family members. I believe you used C to develop the applications? Although I have no experience with this framework, Wt might be a solution to convert your projects to server side applications:

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?
I have 1000s of broken links after installing the latest version of iTunes and updating some files in my media folder. The location of my itunes library has not changed, and all the files are there (I know because I've just waited several hours for the files to be updated by my ultra-slow computer) - by my logic, there should be some menu option that simply re-synchronises with the media folder, just like itunes would do with an ipod - it can't be that hard can it? The only way I can restore a link is by clicking every song (I have over 28,000) and locating the file in the folder that iTunes claims to use as its media folder - the new version 10 option of then using this location to restore all broken links doesn't work because it only looks in the specific album file, and after a couple of times this dialog box no longer even comes up, so I couldn't ask it to do this even if I wanted to. At the moment the only option I can see is to completely wipe iTunes and re-load all my music from scratch - using my tired and over-worked computer this will realistically take around 15 hours that I don't have, and my computer will melt in the process. I wish I'd never tried to 'tidy up' my iTunes library...
PLEASE Apple, how hard can it be to have a function that searches for and restores broken links by itself????? I've told you where the music is - just flipping look for it yourself instead of getting me to do it!

You don't have to re-rip, re-import or re-download all your content. You can clear the iTunes library, either by selecting all in the libary and pressing the Delete key, saying "no" when it asks if you want to remove the files themselves, and then use the Add To Library command, selecting the iTunes Media folder (or iTunes Music folder, as applicable to your situation), and that will add back all your content. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes; if it does, something may be amiss with your hard drive or the library file is corrupted (in which case just delete the library file and re-do the Add To Library command).

Webpage links randomly not working in Safari 7.0.1

Running Safari 7.0.1 on 2009 MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1.
Am having random issues with webpage links not being active/working. Also had the issue on Mountain Lion/Safari prior to the OS upgrade. Anyone else having this problem or any recommendations out there? Example in the example below, both the Club Pogo logo and the menu are links to other pages on the site. In the Active image, all links are working. In the Inactive image, none of the links are working. These are two different pages on the same site, but the issue randomly occurs throughout this site and others. Sometimes when I refresh the page, the links work, sometimes not.
Active
Inactive

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

I've dragged my Facebook, Google , Twitter and LinkedIn icons into the Signature box of Mail. Is there a way of adding the web links behind each icon? i.e. like PC Outlook

I've just purchased a new MacBook Pro and am having problems with the Signature section of Mail. I've added Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn logos to my Siganture, however the associated weblinks behind each logo are not copying across. Is there a way of adding the website links to each logo in the Signature section of Mail?
Thankyou in advance.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Hide webpage link URL from browser status bar?

Anyone know how to hide webpage link URL from the browser
status bar with Dreamweaver CS4? So that when the mouse cursor
hovers over a link on a webpage, the URL won't be shown in the
browser status bar. This comes in useful for when I put my email as
a link on a webpage but I don't want to let my email address be
known prematurely. I prefer to do this through the Dreamweaver CS4
interface without coding, if possible. What is the easiest way to
hide link URL like this? Thanks.

More than the anal users. Many people use this information to
decide
whether they will click on the link. By hiding it, you remove
that
extremely valuable security information - for example, a link
tells you on
the screen that it is taking you to www.wachovia.com, but the
status bar
link tells you it's taking you to
www.iamahackersiteandwilldrinkyourmilkshake.cn
I don't think you want to remove that from your site, unless,
of course, you
are the webmaster for
'iamahackersiteandwilldrinkyourmilkshake.cn....

Poor Performance of OBIEE url after adding BI Publisher link in a page

Hi Gurus,
I've added a BI Publisher report link in my existing OBIEE dashboard page.
After adding this BIP link,the performance of the obiee url becomes very poor.....and it's taking around 10-15 to open the page.
Earlier it use to open with in 5-10 secs.
Is there any resolution for this.
Any help will be more appreciated.
Thanks,
Pramod.

I have been able to improve processing speed up to
6-8 times with these two techniques:
1. A separate trickle thread was created that would
periodically call DbEnv::memp_trickle. This works
especially good on multicore machines, but also
speeds things up a bit on single CPU boxes. This
alone improved speed from 2K rec/sec to about 4K
rec/sec.Hello Stone,
I am facing a similar problem, and I too hope to resolve the same with memp_trickle. I had these queries.
1. what was the % of clean pages that you specified?
2. What duration were you clling this thread to call memp_trickle?
This would give me a rough idea about which to tune my app. Would really appreciate if you can answer these queries.
Regards,
Nishith.
>
2. Maintaining multiple secondary databases in real
time proved to be the bottleneck. The code was
changed to create secondary databases at the end of
the run (calling Db::associate with the DB_CREATE
flag), right before the reports are generated, which
use these secondary databases. This improved speed
from 4K rec/sec to 14K rec/sec.

Plain Text URL links not working in the Windows 8 Mail App for only one account.

Hello,
I just started using a Surface Pro, and randomly one of the accounts I have setup in the "Modern" Mail app stopped parsing the pain text URL path that was included in them. Specifically links to forum discussions. I have 4 other Win
8 devices and they display the links fine.
More confusing is this issue happens ONLY with my O365 mail account and only on one PC. I have an Outlook.com account and it renders the pain text URL as a clickable link, but when I send the same email to my O365 account it just shows up as
text, no link generated. All in the same Windows 8 Mail App.
I ran the Windows 8 App Troubleshooter, I've reinstalled the Mail app, I've removed and re-added the mail account. Nothing fixes this. Anyone know why?
Thanks,
Joe

Same problem for us, the link is also not rendered, if the mail is sent to an on-premise Exchange server.
Its only for plain-text messags, HTML-messages work fine.
Why is this problem ignored? The app is useless with that limitation.

All email links have stopped working from both Windows Mail and Thunderbird. It is probably caused by a recent update to Firefox. How can I sort this?

It was OK until a few days ago but now no links work in either Thunderbird or Windows Mail. I have changed nothing so I can only assume that this is another case of an update changing things without my knowledge.
Links within web pages still work. Firefox is the default browser and we have been using Windows Mail and Thunderbird (gmail and googlemail) for at least a couple of years on this computer.

Open your firewall program. First check the settings. Make sure that the
program is set to tell you if a new program wants access to the web. Then
go to the list of programs the firewall has. Make sure that all the programs
you want to access the web are set to '''ALLOW'''. If it is set to '''AUTO''', the
firewall may not allow access.
This problem occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
again:<BR><BR>
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)<BR><BR>
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

Any way to link to a specific message from outside Mail?

Hi,
I am putting together a fairly basic customer enquiry database using Mac OS X Mail and an external database. The system will keep in the database a list of specific email messages associated with a particular customer, and should allow these messages to be brought up within Mail by clicking on a link in the database client.
However, Mail doesn't seem to offer any way of linking to a specific message within its database from outside Mail.
I imagined I would be able to do this instead by using the Message-Id: headers from incoming emails, and then getting Mail to do a search on these headers. However, putting a Message-Id into Mail's search field also fails.. it appears Mail doesn't index this header.
Can anyone help or offer a different solution to linking to a message inside Mail from an external app?

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you want to do, but if you are trying to link received emails to an external database, you can do so with Applescript, assuming your database app supports it.
AppleScript support in Mail offers the following message properties (copied from the "Message" suite in Mail's Applescript dictionary):
id (integer, r/o) : The unique identifier of the message.
all headers (string, r/o) : All the headers of the message
background color (blue/gray/green/none/orange/other/purple/red/yellow) : The background color of the message
mailbox (mailbox) : The mailbox in which this message is filed
content (string) : Contents of an email message
date received (date, r/o) : The date a message was received
date sent (date, r/o) : The date a message was sent
deleted status (boolean) : Indicates whether the message is deleted or not
flagged status (boolean) : Indicates whether the message is flagged or not
junk mail status (boolean) : Indicates whether the message has been marked junk or evaluated to be junk by the junk mail filter.
read status (boolean) : Indicates whether the message is read or not
message id (string, r/o) : The unique message ID string
source (string, r/o) : Raw source of the message

As you can see, this gives you access to just about any message property you could need for the database. You wouldn't need to tell Mail to search for the message; you could refer to it directly by its ID (or message id string) in its mailbox.
I have done something similar using an older version of Filemaker Pro (v6). I store 'calculated' scripts in the database along the lines of this pseudo-code:
Tell app "Mail" to open message {ID field} of mailbox {mailbox field} of account {related:account field}
... and have Filemaker execute them via a button when I need to open the record's message in Mail. This works very well for my purposes, which may be different from yours. (Note that the pseudo-code won't work as written; it is meant only to convey the idea involved.)

Flash CS5 Newbie - Need help adding URL link to animated banner

I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I am a newbie at designing in Flash. I have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It all depends whether you're decisively using AS2.0 or AS3.0 .
In the latter, you would need to use a URLRequest() method in conjunction with a navigateToUrl() call (not sure the exact syntax for navigate to Url, it might be a capitalized "URL" in the method but the request takes a String argument such as http://www.adobe.com)
