Address Book in Lion will not launch an email from the contact card.

I used to be able to go to a contact in Address Book on the macbook pro and double click the Email field on the contact card and it would either launch Mail with an email addressed to that address or it would give me the option to do so. In Lion nothing happens. If I right click it asks me to open the URL of the website of the email address with Safari and not Mail.
For example: Open Address Book, double click a contact and double click the Email field lets say just for example, [email protected]  It used to launch the Mail app with an email addressed to [email protected], however now nothing happens when you double click the Email field on the card. If you right click it you get the option to open the URL and it sends you to www.apple.com
Is this new with Lion? In Snow Leopard it worked great.

Address Book v 6.1.3 allows you to place the mouse cursor over the word "home" and then
click to reveal a context sensitive menu - "Send Email" is but one of the options available.

    my macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty. I had to try myself as I'm overseas for two months and nowhere near any sort of help .

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

    I have this problem also. I was able to download Mountain Lion to my daughter's Mac Mini without any trouble. However, I can't download this to my MacBook Pro. I have read other sites that suggest VirusBarrier is the problem and recommend turning it off in VirusBarrier>Preferences>Advanced. I have tried this and it still doesn't work, although some report that it has worked for them.

  • My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. I don't know how to fix it, help?

    My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?

    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
    It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
    Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
    Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security.

  • RD XV47KB will not eject a disc from the DVD unit

    I have a problem, for some reason it will not eject a disc from the dvd unit,I have tried the obvious solutions to no avail, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

    Hey,
    Have you already disconnected the DVD recorder from power for at least 5 minutes? If not try this and disconnect it from power. Then try it again to remove the DVD.
    In worst case the drive is malfunctioning and it must be repaired from an authorized service provider in your country.

  • Somehow a new contact became associated with my email.  Now all my email has her name on it. This happens only on my iMac, not on my other Apple devices.  I have removed my email from her contact card and deleted her from previous recipients on Mail.

    Somehow a new contact became associated with my email.  Now all my email has her name on it. This happens only on my iMac, not on my other Apple devices.  I have removed my email from her contact card and deleted her from previous recipients on Mail.

    Check the settings in the Accounts for Mail.
    Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click on your email Account in the left column > What appears under Full Name in the right column?
    If that is the incorrect name you're describing change it to your correct name.

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • Firefox will not launch when I click the icon, it worked okay previously

    A week ago firefox began taking a long time to launch sometimes requireing reclicking the icon.
    Now it will not launch at all.
    I get no error messages, nothing happens when I click the icon.
    HELP

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • My iPhone 5 will not allow yahoo email via the mail center

    Since Monday 3/16/2015 I have been unable to access my Yahoo email from the Mail Center. I have deleted, powered the phone down, re-added the account. I have read numerous past post/questions from other users. HELP! I am about ready to get an Android phone at this point because I am so frustrated with the inability to 1) Find out WHY it is doing this and 2) how to resolve it... I have had to download the Yahoo mail app in the mean time. Additionally, on my iPad my yahoo account is working just fine!

    no i  have seven app icons on my home screen they arrange in 4 at the top and three in a row just below it. can i move them around anywhere i want on my screen or will they always automatically move to the top in rows.

  • How do you select multiple emails from the contacts book.

    Using 10.8.4. I would like to use mail and select multiple email address' from the contacts book to send the same message to multiple persons. I thought I used to be able to select more than one at a time from my contacts book. Am I crazy or did they change the way it works from the previous version of software.
    Or, could you go to the contacts book and email from there. Either way it seems like it was easy to do and now I have to select one at a time and keep going back to the contacts/address book for another name.

    Hi shelereric,
    Once you open a new message, you should be able to just start typing the first letters of the contact's name, and Mail should give you a dropdown to select from:
    So, you should not have to go back and forth between your contacts and mail....anyone in your address book should show up on the dropdown as well as anyone you have received emails from or sent emails to even if they are not in your contacts....
    Is that not what is happening for you? Are you using the Mail app on the Mac?
    Cheers,
    GB

  • Groups in Address book on iPad will not let me create a new group

    My address book on the iPad will not let me create a new group. The red ribbon is there and shows my groups that I already have, but when I click on the ribbon the plus sign does not appear on the group side to let me create one.
    Can anyone help me? I have turned it off and back on.

    You can't create new groups on a mobile device.

  • Address Book 'Frozen' and Will Not Open

    My Address Book has completely frozen and will not open. Whenever I try to open the application, it just 'hangs' there, without actually opening. It was working fine only a few hours ago.
    I've tried the following:
    *Restarting my MacBook 3 times
    *Restoring Address Book from Time Machine
    *Deleting Address Book and reinstalling from the Leopard Installer disk
    Nevertheless, Address Book will not open. Any suggestions?

    I fixed the problem! I'm including the solution here, in case anyone else has the same problem.
    It appears that my Smart Groups somehow caused my Address Book to freeze up. Unfortunately, you can't delete your Smart Groups while the application is open. Instead, try this:
    1.) Close down Address Book
    2.) Go to Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor
    3.) Enter the following into Script Editor, replacing NAME OF SMART GROUP with the actual name:
    tell application "Address Book"
    delete group "NAME OF SMART GROUP"
    end tell
    4.) Click "Run."
    5.) Reopen Address Book. This should fix the problem. At least it did for me.

  • HT1386 Hi when I sync me new iphone 4s to my mac book pro everything is copying across except my contacts, I can see them on the computer in my address book but they will not copy across

    Hi
    When I sync my new iphone 4s to my mac book everything moves across apart from my contacts, I have cleared the phone and started again but it will not work.

    Hello Grant - -Thanks - -
    I notice you are west of Boston - -we in Medford and son goes to Tufts in town
    (small world)
    Not really certain what you are telling us  - - I am not good at computers
    A couple of other things that may be tips - -
    1 - on wednesday of this week
    our son noticed the fan was going on almost continuosly,
    After that trouble started - -
    2. - When we put the new HD in - -same things happened,
    which is ? mark in folder (start-up items)
    3. - His computer will not see my wireless even if I put it next to my I-mac
    It sees several networks but not mine - -and if we type in my netwokr
    info - -it will not take.   He wanted to try a network start-up .
    I forget how that is done.
    4, - The bottom of the computer is getting hot - -much hotter than i think it should.
    any ideas why his computer won't see my router?
    I think he may just have to take it to Apple Store on Newbury Street.
    Would they be able to get his info off the old HD assuming it is still good and
    transfer to the new HD fairly easy.
    LAstly - - I am pretty certain I have the str-up disks for my I-mac which is running
    10.5.8.
    Would I be able to do anything with my computer and hook into his computer
    into mine like an external device or something like that
    I really appreciate your thoughts and efforts on this  and must admit I have no
    external enclosrure?  but I have an external HD on my I-mac
    As you can tell - -I am not to good at this
    Thanks from Meffa    (lol0   Jim the father
