Annoying window switch in Mail Using Safari's "Mail Link to This Page..."

Anyone else have the annoying problem where they use Safari's "Mail Link to This Page", and it opens a New Mail Composer Window, but then opens Mail's main window right over it, forcing you to switch back to the Composer window?
Only seems to happen when Mail has NOT been running. The main Mail window seems to be programmed to take centre stage when it's opened. Very annoying bug!!

I have Eudora as my default Mailer in Leopard and don't get that, jfyi.

Safari 'Email/Email Link to this page' launches Mail Again

If I select Share > Email/Email Link to this page' in Safari, and Mail is already running, rather than just creating a new message, it launches a second instance of Mail (same executable though) and then creates a new message.
I have already rebuilt Launchservices with Cocktail, to no avail.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Is it Ok that newly purchased iMac gets Hot not just Warm, and smells sometimes like burnt plastic?? Just by using safari for mails And playing Radio??? Or i must throw it!! since Can't get any Direct contact to Apple!!!

IS IT OK that a newly purchased iMac -intel Lion- gets So HOT That it smells like Burnt Plastic,Not Warm but Hot!!??.. Just only by using safari-reading mails or newspapers- And playing Radio with VLC??!!!!...Or i must throw it away before it explodes??!!...Since Not possible to contact direct Apple to replace it !!!!..-they send me automatically from one adress to the other And No reply!!.THANKS!!

I don't know where you live or what you're talking about being sent from one address to another. Your iMac has a 90 day warranty with tech support and service, if needed. Apple has toll-free phone numbers in the US. You call that number, get to speak to a tech, give that person your computer's serial number and describe the problem. I suspect that there are similar arrangements in other parts of the world. That is "direct contact" with Apple. Have you tried to do that where you live? Wny are you trying to communicate in writing (by e-mail?)? In addition, if you don't have Apple Care you should immediately purchase it if you're still eligible. It'll extend your warranty to 3 full years.

TS3899 After upgrading to IOS 7, the only options Gmail gives using Safari or mail to attach files are attaching a camera roll file or draw a scribble. How can I attach a PDF or word doc? I was able to do so using IOS 6.

Is the MacBook/Air still covered under any AppleCare plan?
If you are in the US or Canada, the Apple Store with Genius
bar can have a look at it, and diagnose it for free; you'd have
to set an appointment at a store nearest you, for them do do it.
Not sure how old the unit is or how it was used, charged, or re-
charged; but those are the kinds of little things that may affect
battery life or subtract possible useable Cycles off its life.
Some users of MB/Air models (and MB/Pro, etc) had noticed
a loss of battery capacity after an upgrade to Mavericks. So
that may be some kind of revision to how the battery is seen
by the newer OS X. No idea if Mavericks uses more power.
To see an expert or specialist about this issue, for advice, &
or test/diagnose may be an idea. Could be it needs a new
battery. How does the rest of the battery/power specs look?
Perhaps the MacBook just wants to get out on the town...

When I attempt to email a link using "File" then "Mail Link to this Page", I can't. I get a message saying "...Safari can't find an email application." even though I am using mail. Why can't !?

When I attempt to email a link in Safari using "File" then "Mail Link to this Page", I can't. I get a message saying "...Safari can't find an email application." even though I am using mail. Why?

I got it - no need to respond. I went to Mail Prefs, General, Defalt Email Reader, and rechose Mail. Problem solved!

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari File Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens but the page is blank. Also, when I try to use the safari Help button,the dialogue box is blank.

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader update when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari>File>Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens, but the page remains blank. Also when I try to use the Safari Help button, the dialogue box opens but remains infuriatingly blank. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

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.

Safari suddenly stopped Mail Link to this Page in gmail

Up until last night safari would open my gmail composer when I hit Mail Link to this Page. I do not use Mail on this computer. It opens correctly on firefox but since the firefox upgrades my laptop runs too hot with it. The new safari was working fabulously until last night.
Any ideas?
Thanks'

HI Connie,
MIght be some help here in GMail known issues.
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs
A work around might be to Compose Mail and click the Link icon. It's in between Insert an Emoticon and and Numbered LIst icons. Just drag the link from the Safari Address Bar to the Compost window.

What happened to "Mail Link to This Page" in Safari 6.0 in Mountain Lion?

I just loaded Mountain Lion onto my MacBook Pro. When I went to use Safari (6.0), I noticed that I can no longer find "Mail Link to This Page" under File. How do i mail a link now?

Thanks for that, as I hadn't noticed the dropdown in the composition window. However, it also requires you to change the format of the message to Rich Text in order for the page to transmit properly. I'm a journalist, and I use plain text for all my messages (newspapers prefer this), so now I have to select File>Share>Email This Page, then choose Send Web Content As Web Page, then change Message Format to Rich Text, before I get the result I need.
In the previous OS I just chose "Send Contents of Web Page" or whatever the instruction was, and it was done.
I'm beginning to understand the true difference between the phrases "unnecessarily complicated" and "simply elegant".
I appreciate your help, nevertheless.

Plus "+" signs appear in subject when using "Mail Link to This Page" error

When I choose File > Mail Link to This Page in Safari for Windows (all recent/current versions), Safari opens a new Outlook email message window with a link to the web page I want to send in the content area of the message as it should, however the subject line contains plus sign "+" symbols between every word in the web page's title, as shown here:
Subject: Apple-+Support+-+Discussions+-+Post+Message:+NewTopic
Any tips on how to make those distracting plus signs go away?
Joe

Yeah, I've posted the same inquiry. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything back yet regarding this annoying issue w/ the "+" symbols showing up in the Subject line every time we mail a link.
Hopefully we'll get some type of assistance soon.
Good luck!

Since I upgraded to 10.8 I can't find "mail link to this page" under file while in Safari?

Since I upgraded to 10.8 Mountain Lion I can't find "mail link to this page" when I click on file on the apple menu tool bar.

If you are using Mail in the composition window right hand side there is a button "Send Content As". Choose Link

This is regarding CBMA in SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.

This is regarding CBMA in single stack SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the alert mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.
So I need to set up PI to redirect mails to ECC Business workplace user inbox (sbwp). From here rules are set up & routed per distribution list.
Please guide me how I can achieve this requirement.

Hi,
yes, it is a little bit different. This is the issue.....
But I am not sure if your links will help:
1) /people/william.li/blog/2008/02/13/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-using-graphical-variable
is about a different solution. I do not need to count the number of lines of the source message.
And the second variable is about concat line by line from unbound node to unbound node.
My issue is:
Souce:
Message line (0...unbound) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
.    ResultLine   (1..1)
Mapping:
=>   ResultLine1
       ResultLine2
       ResultLine........          => into UDF to an element (1..1) in one mapping operation.
So that all "ResultLine"s are included.
The result is explained in the given link for Mail attachment with UDF.
So I am not sure how to use this thread for my issue.
In the comments of that blog Christoph Gerber writes that the new variable feature can only handle single values.
So it is not suitable for my purposes as I have a list of values here that needs to be moved into the target message field.
2) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Java/UsingEditJavaSectioninMessageMapping
shows where to find the button "Java section" which is not available here in 7.1
3) /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/10/01/xi-new-features-in-sp14
too is about the nice little button for Java Section that is no longer existing on PI 7.1 screen for mappings.
So my issue is: How to replace the Java section function with global variables in PI 7.1?
Best regards
Dirk

A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded this is popping up when I use any forum using safari on my iPad and this is happening ever since I haven installed iOS 8 I have tried to reset all setting

A Problem occured with this webpage so it was reloaded this is popping up when I open any forum using safari on my iPad mini this is been happening ever since I have downloaded iOS 8 I tried to reset all the settings and reset network settings but nothing helped please if anyone can help me .

Its not necessarily freezing - just being slow to build.
May have something to do with this being a secured site - I an giving Opera a test run & this part of the apple site does not go into compressed load - but the non-secure parts of the site do. The issue may be that some sites like apples just have too much unimportant junk on the screen because the designers are on an internal network a few offices away from the server and never see all the issues that com up.

Safari Quasi-Hung - Mail Link to this Page - Power Cycle Required

Hi! The other day, I was looking at a web page in Safari, hit the "+" icon and chose to "Mail Link to this Page". I chose the person I had in mind from my contact list, but realized that there were a couple others at the same firm that I should also copy. Not seeing a way to search on the company name at that point, I hit the Home button, went into Spotlight, searched for the company name, and found the other people.
Armed with the names of the others, I went back to Safari, but I was not returned to the point of addressing my message. Instead, I returned to a partially crippled Safari. (from memory now:) I could do the back and forward arrows, but there was no response to taps on "+", Bookmark, or Tabs. Thinking maybe I should be in Mail, I tried going there, but it also showed no sign of the pending message forwarding the link.
I found no way out of this other than a full power cycle of the phone.
I have an iPhone 3GS 32Gig.

Have not seen this problem with more recent iOS releases. Particularly, the ability to cancel an Email and save it as a Draft would seem to render this moot. Thanks for the feature add.

Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

Thank you for this, and to Caleb.
I've tried using Caleb's approach (which is the same as I used with Lion), but the programme doesn't respond now that I have installed Mountain Lion.
My problem is that I do not want to use IE7 but that a programme I need regular access to will only allow IE7 and I've been told by the developers that it is too expensive to upgrade this programme to allow it to be used by other browsers.
So, my puzzle remains the same. I could access IE7 and use the programme using Caleb's solution with Lion. I can't do the same with Mountain Lion. I do (I think!) understand your point about the programme requiring IE7 specifically, but if it worked on Lion, why isn't it working on Mountain Lion? Or was I just lucky before?
I'll try mende1's approach, though I doubt I'm technical enough to virtualise anything!
Thanks again. Any further thoughts welcome.
