Can't Mail Contents of this Page after MobileMe update!

In Safari, you used to be able to do a "cmd I" or go to the File Menu and go down to "Mail Contents of this Page" select it and it would paste in to Mail a screen shot of the Safari page you were on.
Now when you do this, after the MobileMe update has been run and installed. Safari no longer can find the Mail app. Here is a copy of the text of the error message that you get now.
"Safari couldn’t create an email message because it couldn’t locate an email application.
You can use the Mail application included with Mac OS X to send webpages. To do so, you need to install Mail using the Mac OS X installation CDs."
I'm on a MacBook 2 Ghz INtel Core 2 Duo, with MAC OS X (10.5.2), Mail version 3.4 (last modified 7/11/08) Safari version 3.1.2 (last modified 6/30/08), MobileMe version 5.1 in the Preference Pane.
The suggested solution of reinstalling mail would not seem to work as it would reinstall older versions of mail that would not have the functionality of being use MobileMe. It would seem to be that a Safari path is what is required to have the code know that the Mail app has been renamed(?).

Hi, I'm on 10.5.4 I must have mistyped my OS version number. I took the version number for MobileMe from the About This Mac information. I was surprised like you see a version number of 5.1 I have run Software update as well just now to see if any newer versions of my software are there. None I'm up to date.
I do know that when I ran the MobileMe updater it said that it fixes problems in Mail, right now some things in various software applications still refer to .Mac. I still think that somewhere in the Mail app that the name was changed, so that Safari is looking for the old name in a string of code that executes the placing a copy of the current page in Mail as an outgoing mail message.
As for that activity bar in Safari, I guess I have never noticed it until now, on a laptop the bottom of the page is some times obscured by the dock which I have at the bottom. I truly noticed it more when I ran the MobileMe page.

How to make "Mail Contents os this page" in safari 7?

Hi everybody,
I need for my daily work to make once or twice a day an upload of an mailing PNG picture. Bevor the upgrade to Maverick Safari 7 I used the safari version 5.1.10 which works great to make "Mail contents of this page" (File Menu > Mail Contents of this file). Now in the Safari 7 version this option is not anymore available and it is change to SHARE "Email this page". This is not the some and it does not match the legal proposing.
I appreciate as answer for a good solution or which steps shoud I do to get this option again.
Thx a lot

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the inconvenience. I follow your instruction but it is still not working.
I tried to use now another Mac which I have here, with Mac system 10.6.8, where I use the safari version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and it works perfect.
Here are the screenShots:
The screenshot from the older computer: here you see the option Mail contents of this page.
Using that older Mac we have the perfect result, where you see the legal text + images, which i sent to me in bcc.
The result from my Mac with Maverick and after following the instruction:
You see the full legal text but no the image!
Maybe this is just a minor bug in Safari, to exploring yet and to improve. For the meantime I have to use the older Mac only for this part of the job. Not A PERFECT DAY (lou reed, RIP) but not the end of the world!
Thanks for you help and I´m looking forward to get news on this issue from you.

"Mail Contents of this page" images do not show

Hi, if I do send a webpage with "Mail Contents of this page" then the images the page contains do not show up on Windows machines and some Mac's aswell. The message looks good in Mail before i send it.
Does anyone have a solution for me?

The photos are probably on your machine and the recipient can't access them. You should put your page on a server.

Not receiving Mail using "Mail Contents of this page" from Safari 4

I am having a similar problem with Mail with Safari. When I select "Mail Contents of this page" from the Safari 4 menu, it opens mail properly and will send. But email is never received. If I check the sent folder it is there. I have tested this sending to myself and family in same house and will not show up. I have noticed that sometimes it will not even show up in sent folder. I have tested on the same webpage the "Mail Link of this page: and this appears to work.

Niel,
thanks. I am feeling enlightened.
1) Imagine I am using my .Mac mail address and some ISP such as ATT. ATT has provided me with an email address, but I do not use it. I am using my .mac.com address. In this case, the amount of mail I can send is restricted by ATT email regulations?
2) And those people who may want to send a massive amount of emails may use a company like MailChimp in order to circumvent rules imposed by the email provider?

I'm Stuck at: Safari can't display content on this page.???

I'm still somewhat new to Apple so bear with me here.
As I use Safari I attempt to listen to a Radio Player online I'm greeted with this message:
Safari can't display content on this page.
Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?
I try that also but to no avail.
Thanks ahead of time

There is no windows media player support for the Intel Macs. MS has dropped support for Windows Media on the Mac platform.
Filp4Mac should have an Intel compatible plugin soon - I have no idea if it will solve this problem, though.

Cannot "mail contents of this page" in apple mail 4.2

I posted this somewhat unclearly before, so here goes again:
When I try emailing the image/contents of a web page in mail (especially if the page is a yahoo.com page), mail hangs and does not ever populate the new email page -- I have to force quit mail.
anyone know how to fix this?
thanks,
tom

Thanks, but I don't think it is just the page.
we have two other macs in the house (one with leopard, one sl) and they don't have the same problem.

"mail contents of this page" won't support animated gifs

Let me start by saying that i know that Mail doesn't support animated gifs. However, up untill last year, i was able to email moving animated gifs by putting them online and mailing the content of the safari page (command i). I haven't made any updates to Mail or safari, yet this feature suddenly stopped working. I am still able to use command with still images, but when i try to use the command on an animated gif, nothing happens and it's grayed out in the menu.
I can't figure out how to email a moving gif via gmail either.
(Just to clarify, I know I can send a gif file, but It's useless if it doesn't show up as a moving image in the recipient's inbox).
Does anyone have a fix for this issue or another idea how to email a moving animated gif?
Many thanks!

Yes, that was the problem. Mail couldn’t save a temporary copy of the message in Drafts because AOL doesn’t let IMAP clients such as Mail to create or manage mailboxes at the root level of the account directory, only as subfolders of Saved, and this causes Mail to not work properly if Store messages on the server is turned ON for any of the mailboxes in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors. You should turn Store messages on the server OFF for all the standard mailboxes, so that they are stored locally instead.

My iPad won't connect to a server for mail only. This happened after my update to 7.02 update to 7.02

MY iPad mini cannot connect to the server for Yahoo! email. I am able to access internet and Facebook. This connection error came after an upgrade to 7.02. Has anyone else had this issue? Have you been able to resolve it? I have checked all my account info, deleted and re-entered my account, rebooted my iPad. Nothing has helped.

Is your iPad jailbroken?

I tunes will not quit, nor can i shut down. This happened after an update

I have done force quit many times. i don't know what else to do. There is also now a CD stuck in the computer. Help please

well, lets work on getting the stuck cd out:
use the F12 or eject key on the keyboard.
If the disc will not eject try dragging the disc icon to the trash.
If the disc will still not eject, holding down the trackpad or mouse button after restarting the computer should also eject a disc.
If the disc continues not to eject, reset the Power Manager (PMU) or System Management Controller (SMC) and try steps 1-4 again.

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

Did it work in Firefox 4, or did you skip that version?

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!

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.

Gmail iPhone app & mailto links, "Mail Link to This Page", etc. / Send-only Mail app account

Is it possible to handle mailto links & the like (e.g., "Mail Link to This Page" option in Safari) with the Gmail iPhone app?
If not, I would like to setup a Mail account for the inbuilt Apple iPhone Mail app, but only use it for outgoing messages. I do not want it to download messages, as the Gmail app will already be doing this. How can I setup the iPhone Mail app as send-only? (specifically for a Gmail account)
Thanks.

Is this issue solved for you yet?
I still have the same problem.
Mail.app changes the configurations on my POP settings from "password" to "apop". Since I don't use "apop" I cannot receive mail. Further, after going through each mail account (about 20 of them) and changing them back to "password" and saving each account setting I attempted to receive mail again to no avail. So, I checked the account configurations again only to discover that mail.app will not save the account settings to "password" and is forcing the "apop" settings.
