Can't launch applications from Safari link

When I try to open any external application through the Safari link, I'm redirected to the Safari "Favourites" tab and the app fails to launch.
For instance, on clicking on a magnet link, the default torrent client(uTorrent in my case) should launch. Or when clicking on the "View in the Mac App Store" link for any application on the apple website, the app store launch. However, instead of launching the application, safari redirects me to the favourites page.
I understand certain apps like Candy Crush were automatically redirecting users to the app store and apple resolved the issue in the updated OS, but is there a way to filter which apps safari can launch, maybe even if it asks for a password?

From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Can I launch apps from safari?

    Hi
    I was looking for sample code about webapps on iPhone and found this link:
    http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/iPhoneIntegration/index.html
    With that sample I can access some iPhone applications, but I haven't found nothing else and I dont know if there are others apps that I can access.
    So, Can I launch an arbitrary app from safari?
    If so, How do I do that?
    Thank you
    Carlos Asensio

    As I can see in the link about the iPhone integration sample you can do something like that:
    < a href="tel:408-555-5555" > call me < /a >
    but I have not found it documented anywhere
    And I thought that this would be a great place to found it:
    http://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/docs/documentation/AppleApplications /Reference/SafariHTMLRef/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002049
    I want to know if I can do any other tasks with safari and where is documented.

  • Can't launch applications from the Adobe Application Manager

    I installed Adobe Application Manager on my mac (Version 10.6.8) and several programs but I can't get the applications to launch from the application manager.  I gan launch them directly from the applications folder.  Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

    Hi,
    The Adobe Application Manager is only used for update notification and installation. It is not intended to be an application launcher.

  • Launching applications from an applet

    How do you launch applications from an applet? For example,launch a notepad exceutable when you click on a button (an awt component)?

    Hi,
    you can launch an application from the applet using the Java RunTime environment.
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(applicationName);
    But to do this the applet needs permissions.It should be a trusted applet.

  • Can't launch games from GeForce GPU

    I can only launch games from the Intel GPU (which is shockingly good on USF4, Saints Row IV, Gat Out Of Hell and other games it shouldn't be running so well).... But can't launch with my GeForce GT 750m. Now check this out: I recently reformatted and this happened. I've tried the newest drivers, older drivers, even the extremely outdated ones from the HP site... Both the intel and Nvidea... I've tried uninstalling both of them (completely) and re-installing. I am at a complete loss and doubt anyone here will be able to help me, but it's far better than sending this thing into be repaired by the incompetent, rude, mindless, lazy people at the HP Repair center. (I paid $250 for a watranty, but fear using it again because all the do is damage my computer and break something new every time they fix something. Likeseriously, I feel sorry for people who actually pay for HP repairs as they just mindlessly replace things that aren't broke and do an even more shady job than China) 

    I was able to still purchase TV Shows and Music individually, but the darn games wont delete. Today I ordered a 3G Nano as a X-mas gift for my son and just want to buy the new version of Tetris, but some games that I was considering for my 5G Video in the past wont go away.......
    I have recently rebuilt my library file (very painful) and the games are STILL THERE! The shopping cart items appear to be linked to our Apple ID's and not the iTunes library.xml or DB file.
    Hopefully Apple will get this fixed soon!

  • Launching applications from java code

    I have found a solution to launch applications from java.I thought this will be useful for programmers who want to open a
    1. Browser
    2. Player
    3. Files etc.
    There are 2 solutions :
    I)To use a known application :
    eg: to open windows media player
    String[] cmd = new String[3];
    cmd[0] = "cmd.exe";
    cmd[1] = "/C";
    cmd[2] = "START MPLAYER2.exe "+mediaURL+" /PLAY /CLOSE /FULLSCREEN";
    //eg: mediaURL = "\"D:/project/songs/track1.mp3\""
    // /PLAY /CLOSE /FULLSCREEN this option can be used only for windows media player
    // for any other application use cmd[2] as START apl.exe //apl can be any windows application
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    II) To use a default application:
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + url);
    // url can be any url

    To post code, use the code tags -- [code]Your Code[/code] will display asYour CodeOr use the code button above the editing area and paste your code between the {code}{code} tags it generates.
    And make up your mind what file type you're having a problem with. Maybe .asx doesn't have a file association on your computer.
    This works just fine for .m3u:import java.awt.Desktop;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    public class Playlist {
       public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
             Desktop.getDesktop().
                   open(new File("E:/Music/Playlists/test.m3u"));
          } catch (IOException ex) {
             ex.printStackTrace();
    }db
    edit Did you try searching the net for the error you got? ("Invalid menu handle")

  • Opening pdf's in applications from safari - ipad

    Hi Gerard
    You'll need to use at least Adobe Reader 8.1 with Safari 3, otherwise, Safari crashes. To install Reader 8.1.3, go here. At the site, click on the drop down selection menu and choose "Power PC 10.4.3 - 10.4.10". Otherwise, Adobe points you to Reader 9 instead of 8.
    Before installing Reader 8, go to your HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins folder and move to the trash the existing Adobe PDF plug-in. This way, you're ensured of a clean install of version 8.
    After the install, and prior to opening Safari, I suggest you go to your Applications>Utilities folder, open Disk Utility, highlight your HD and select "repair permissions".
    Post back and let us know if that stops the crashes.
