Default email preference change

today without warning IPhoto changed the default email preference to Entourage and all other selections are greyed out... what gives, yesterday I mailed pics via Mail, my choice of email program but today I cannot choose Mail as my default,
currently running iPhoto 4.0.3 and iMail 1.3.11

Dear Derrick
I had the same and changed the preference-file as follow:
1. Open the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file:
user-->library --> Preferences -->com.apple.iPhoto.plist
2. Go to the line where you find the preferenced programm
3. Add a line above f.e. "Microsoft Entourage" and indicate "Mail" instead of Microsoft Entourage (use the icons on the top of window)
4. Delete the old line with "Microsoft Entourage"
5. Save as your file at the same place but without plist at the end
6. Delete the old preference file
7. Add to the new file ".plist" for getting the same name as the old file.
8. Change the library name of your i-photo to force i-photo to look again for the right file
9. Open i-Photo and select the right library of i-photo
10. You will see the old mail-icon and you can sent pictures again by mail.
Try it; it works without adding any programm....

How do I change my default email preference to AOL?

I would like to use AOL as my default email program when using Firefox, but I don't know how to change it?

Mail default email reader changes constantly

i have a weird issue where the Preferences > General > Default Email Reader keeps getting reset to some Windows program (i run Parallels and windows 7 on the laptop). i /think/ it keeps getting set to a windows program but in any case it is never Mac Mail which is sort of inconvenient.
has anyone heard of such a thing or know how to get this to stay on Mail?
TIA

thanks for the always great help. this is a good suggestion.
for some reason though when i get into virtual machine > configure > applications the pulldown for Email is "Open in Mac". i will try and see if there is some help on the parallels forum on this.
i guess i am correct in thinking that the only mail setting in mac OS is in Mail? i mean, now that i think about it i have Thunderbird loaded and Sparrow loaded. i don't suppose that somehow something in these email clients is causing mac to get confused...
just thinking out loud on this one i guess...

Photobooth default email application change

Is there anyway to change the default email application in photobooth. The default is Mac Mail and I want to use Entourage instead.
I've switched the default mail to Entourage already but Photobooth is the only one that doesn't change.
Thanks

You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.<br />
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.<br />
You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.<br />

FF4: Default email provider changed but won't load

In FF3 I changed my default mailto link to Gmail using Tools>Options>Applications>UseGmail and it worked fine.
Doing the same in FF4, nothing happens. The page just sits there.
I don't often use mailto links, and can always just open Gmail in another tab, but I would still like this flaw resolved please.
''Update: It works fine if I right-click the link and select "Open in new tab"''.

Xircal: thanks for replying.
I don't have an Internet Explorer icon on my desktop, so I found a tiny one in the system tray. It has no Programs tab. The five tabs on the icon properties are General, Shortcut, Compatibility, Security, Details. Did you mean actually ''open'' the Internet Explorer browser to do this? If so, then I see '''Tools'''>'''Internet Options'''>'''Programs''', but there's no option for Gmail there.
Never mind. I think it's a FF4 specific problem. As I said, it works in FF3, and, having set it up in FF4 it works on right-click, it's just the regular left-click that locks up the tab. I have to press the back or reload button to escape from it.

My email preferences are inaccessible. Why

For some reason my email preferences changed and I can't figure out how to access them to change them back

HT1637 I cannot change my default email application because Apple Mail wants me to create an account first. I cannot enter preferences.

Is there another way to change my email application to Outlook?

Download IC Switch (free) http://flipmartin.net/software
Click on Email tab
Click Add button
Navigate to Safari and select.
(I've never used my browser as a default email client so can't say with 100% certainty that this will work. Some links are hard wired to open Mail when clicked. If you Control click on a link you should be able to copy the mailto info and paste into a new Gmail message.)

sorry, but I can't find the mail preference in the latest Yosemite OS. Do you know where I can find it?
Thank you

"mail to" does not appear in apps list, so cant change default email to yahoo.

. I cant get Yahoo mail to appear as a default mail option for firefox:
because I cant proceed past the "scroll down to 'mailto' in the 'apps' step of the instructions provided by Support. I'm stuck there because 'mailto' isn't on the list.
Right clicking on Outlook(the current email default I cant get rid of)does nothing.
Ive since modified Micro Office and deleted Outlook entirely, but that didn't make Yahoo Mail magically appear as an option anywhere.
I cant get Yahoo mail to appear as an option for default email for Windows 7 either. I can get to the page where you may choose how Windows uses various defaults, but Yahoo isn't there.
I downloaded the latest Yahoo toolbar as I had in the past for IE and nothing changed (what I DID get stuck with is an irritating as hell, loud alert tone that sounds with every email I get--even when there's music playing or a movie on--and flashes me a constant reminder on lower left of screen that I have 785 unread messages)

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Need to change default email for iCal and Discussions

I have a dual problem tonight. my first problem is trying to reset my default email address in iCal to my new email address since we changed ISP. I have read that I need to change the default in MAIL, but everything there is with my new email address (@Telus). My old email was (@Shaw). When I set up a meeting on iCal and send it out to others, the reply email is @shaw and I can't seem to find how to change it to @telus. No one can reply with confirmation since it is going to a dead letter box.
However, in trying to find something here on the discussions I noticed that my apple account to log into discussions still has my @shaw address, but for the life of me I can not find the account settings that will let me change my email on my user name/profile. I won't get a notice of a solution of either of these questions through the automatic reply as it will go to dead email land. I don't want to have to close this user name and my history and start all over again. Yet the edit profile only lets me reset my biography information, not my email account.
Since I won't get a reply automatically, please CC your post here to mrbarth @ telus.net as well. Thanks,

On Mac OS X, 10.7.2: After several days of trying all the suggestions, I went to the Apple store. It took 2 Geniuses two hours to figure out that invitiations were being sent from the email that I have set as primary with Apple. It didn't matter that the account wasn't even listed on My Card in Address book nor was it even anywhere in mail preferences. What mattered was that I had that email as primary. So, I went to
https://appleid.apple.com/
and changed the Primary Email address. Now all my invites come from that address.
Supposedly iTunes and everything else will come along...

How can I change my default email to my hotmail account, as I do not have gmail, or yahoo?

I do not have, nor do I wish to have an additional email account. I have an account with hotmail and would like to make it my default email for my browser. Hotmail is not currently one of the options I am given, the options being yahoo or gmail. I could find no place to change this setting or add hotmail.
Is it possible to add a third option to the two that are given? If so, how?

Here's the official approach which embeds the change more deeply in Firefox so any feature which wants to send an email can use it.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gecko''' and pause while the list is filtered.
(3) Double-click '''gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost''' to toggle its value from false to true. The line should turn bold.
(4) In another tab, containing a normal web page, open the Web Console using one of these methods:
* Ctrl+Shift+k
* orange Firefox button > Web Developer > Web Console
* classic Tools menu > Web Developer > Web Console
A small area should open below the current page.
(5) Copy the following line of script and paste it next to the ">" at the bottom of the Web Console (it all goes on one long line):
navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','https://mail.live.com/secure/start?action=compose&to=%s','Live Mail');
Then press the Enter key to execute it. An infobar should open at the top of the page. Click "Add Application". You now can close the Web Console using any of the same methods you used for opening it.
''If instead of an infobar the Web Console displays "Not allowed to register a protocol handler for mailto" then switch to your about:config tab, filter on mailto. If the line is bold and set to false, double-click '''network.protocol-handler.external.mailto''' to toggle its value back to true. Then try this step 5 again.''
(6) Open the Application preferences dialog using:
(WIN) orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications<br>
(MAC) Firefox > Preferences > Applications<br>
(LINUX) Edit > Preferences > Applications
In the search box on that tab, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while the list is filtered. If you click the drop-down list on the right side, should should now find Live Mail.
(7) Return to the tab with about:config, if you changed the filter change it back to gecko, and double-click '''gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost''' to return its value to false. You can close about:config.
Okay, you're all set up and ready to test. Success?

Email preference centre - default opt-out

Hi there,
We built an email preference centre with corresponding landing page in Eloqua and are good to go for a trial to assess the impact on our global unsubscribe rate. One thing remains however. We cannot seem to find how to make the tick boxes on the landing pages ticked by default, i.e. to let people opt out instead of opt in. Where can we enable this? Thank you.
Kind regards,
Kristoff

We did the same thing in our instance of Eloqua. We are using a beta version where email address is not the unique identifier. We use SFDC Contact ID as our unique identifier as we have multiple contacts who use the same email address.
We created custom subscription pages for each of our lines of business (aka Eloqua form on an Eloqua landing page). On our landing pages, we had check boxes that they could check to opt out of receiving a specific newsletter or type of campaign such as promotional communications or tradeshows, etc....
The first step was to create a field for each of those options in the database and we sent the field to be automatically checked when a new contact was added. We had to do an initial download though of all the contacts, added those fields to the spreadsheet and then populated them with a "1" to make the box checked on the subscription page. We also offered an option to check a box to remove them from all future marketing communications which would automatically uncheck all the other boxes on the form and subsequently turn those values to "0". Then we use filters to make sure we don't send to anyone who has a value of "1" in the field if they have opted out of receiving any communications.
In order to make it work though, we had to add JavaScript to each of the landing pages to check and uncheck boxes based on what they chose. Here is the code for one of my pages:
<script type="text/javascript">
    var _elqQ = _elqQ || [];
    _elqQ.push(['elqSetSiteId', '1499497143']);
_elqQ.push(['elqTrackPageView']);
    (function () {
        function async_load() {
            var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true;
            s.src = '//img03.en25.com/i/elqCfg.min.js';
            var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
        if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async_load, false);
        else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent('onload', async_load);
</script><script type='text/javascript' language='JavaScript'>
var elqContact = '<span class="eloquaemail" >SFDC_Contact_ID1</span>';
function setFormFieldValue(elqForm, strFormFieldName, strContactFieldName){
    if (elqForm.elements[strFormFieldName])
elqForm.elements[strFormFieldName].value = GetElqContentPersonalizationValue(strContactFieldName);
function SetElqContent(){
    if (this.GetElqContentPersonalizationValue){
        var elqForm;
        var blnFound = false;
        //find the form object from the form HTMLName
        for (var formIndex = 0; formIndex < document.forms.length; formIndex++)
            for (var elemIndex = 0; elemIndex < document.forms[formIndex].length; elemIndex++)
                if (document.forms[formIndex].elements[elemIndex].name == "elqFormName")
                    if (document.forms[formIndex].elements[elemIndex].value == "OpticsGroupCustomSubscriptionPageForm-142111")
                        elqForm = document.forms[formIndex];
                        blnFound = true;
                        break;

How do I change InDesign default email program

How do I change the default email program that Indesign hyperlink opens?

In recent versions of OS X, you'd open the Mail application. Choose InDesign > Preferences > General > Default email reader.

HT204150 How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?

How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?
Perfernece for contact to change. Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account? Is only the autofill changable?

If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

I have read the help info, but I can't find how to change the default email address, to the one that is my adobe I'd?
