Can't get pdf links from others to open in Preview

Just got new MBP w/change from Snow Leopard to Lion. When I clicked pdf link from friend, it opened a black page on Safari--the default browser.
This also happened sometimes before in SL, but I learned if I held down Control while clicking the link, it would trigger Preview to open the file. Not now.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
K

Thanks, Carolyn. I've checked several, and they all already have Preview chosen as the default. (Also evidenced by the 'Change All' button being grayed out & unclickable.)
The friend who sent the link said I should download Adobe PDF Reader since my MAC is brand new....?
In the past (pre-Lion on Snow Leopard), MOST pdf's would open In Preview without this problem.
I *really* need this to open: It's the manual for my new Sony RX100!
Thanks,
K

HT201303 how can i get songs downloaded from other apple products on my shared apple id on to my ipod nano?

how can i get songs downloaded from other apple products on my shared apple id on to my ipod nano? my daughter just got a new ipod nano for her birthday and we redeemed the shared apple account our family uses and when we went to go buy music it says we need to redeem another card for us to buy the music so i was wondering if i could just let my older daughter download the music onto her phone via itunes app and see if that music would go on my younger daughter's ipod nano but i am looking on the itunes and i don't see an option for that for ipod nanos. thanks so much.

You should always make sure that you put all of your music on your computer. From there you can sync it to whatever device you like

How can i get all links from html file ?

I tried some code:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(filename, Encoding.UTF8);
var metaTags = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//meta");
if (metaTags != null)
foreach (var tag in metaTags)
if (tag.Attributes["name"] != null && tag.Attributes["content"] != null)
text = tag.Attributes["name"].Value;
mys = tag.Attributes["content"].Value;
var linksOnPage = from lnks in doc.DocumentNode.Descendants()
where lnks.Name == "a" &&
lnks.Attributes["href"] != null &&
lnks.InnerText.Trim().Length > 0
select new
Url = lnks.Attributes["href"].Value,
Text = lnks.InnerText
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode
.SelectNodes("//a/@href | //img/@src"))
metas.Add(node.Name);
In the var linksOnPage i'm getting all the links but some of them not only links for example the first item i see:
[0] = { Url = "/", Text = "    " }
Then the second item:
[1] = { Url = "http://rotter.net/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=login", Text = "התחבר" }
Next i want to add another loop or variable that will contain only the links after im src for example:
<img
src="http://mysite.com"
border="0"></a></TD><TD
ALIGN="right"
VALIGN="TOP"
WIDTH="55%">
So to get only http://mysite.com
So in the end i will have two Lists:
First List will contain all links from the html file.
Second List only links that are in img src

Ok i'm using regex now and i can get the links i need:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
foreach (string hh in fall)
if (hh.Contains("http://rotter.net") && hh.Contains("locked")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_sport")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_camera")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(hh))
metas.Add(m.Value);
So now in the metas i have in this case two links.
For example the first link is from this block in the file:
The link i got is : http://rotter.net/forum/Images/hot_icon_anchor.gif
And this is the right link from this block but now how do i get the text from this block and how i connect how do i know that this text belong to the link ? I need to add this text from this block to a new List. Before all that i counted on my own lines
and got the text but that's a bad idea.
I need somehow to get: שרשור תשדירי בחירות מרוכז:
To get the text between the ToolTip',' and the second ',' but not from all the html file only in places of this two links i extracted.
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT"
VALIGN="TOP">
<body onmousemove="overhere()">
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','שרשור תשדירי בחירות מרוכז:','כתב: menahem בתאריך: 03.03.15
שעה: 08:51 1. http://youtu.be/utUaqyiRkJ8 ...'); Activate();"
onmouseout="deActivate()"
href="javascript:void(0)">
<img src="http://rotter.net/forum/Images/hot_icon_anchor.gif"
border="0"></a></TD><TD
ALIGN="right"
VALIGN="TOP"
WIDTH="55%">

TS3899 I changed from an Iphone to a Android. I can't get my email from other Iphones

If this does not help, you may also try resetting your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

How can i get the data from database & add them as a link

Hi,
how can i get a data from a database(DB2) and that data will be having a file so i should make them as a link.i tried it in jsp .
<%
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver");
response.setContentType("text/html");
Connection conn = null;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2:spintran");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeQuery("set current schema tut");
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from tutorial");
%>
Type Of the Category : &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp
<%
 while (rs.next())
 String desc = rs.getString(1);
 out.println(desc);
%>
 <A HREF = "<%=desc%>"><%=desc%> </A>
 <%
 %>
but it is not working.how can i link.
thank you.

what is desc? is it the file name ? whats the data type of desc in db? INFILE?
if desc is just the name of the file, then make sure that such a file exists in the proper folder.only then the link works..
that is, if desc is 'a.jpg' then a.jpg should be existing in the same folder as your html is.

Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.
