Email/share links in Safari open Chrome browser

I recently switched to Safari as my default browser after many years using Chrome, which has become buggy and unreliable. My problem in Safari is that clicking on an email link, which is supposed to bring up my default email (Gmail), instead opens the Chrome browser. The only option under "Share" for "email this page, is the Chrome icon.
I cannot find anything in settings allowing me to change the default browser for external email links. The only relevant field is Extensions, in where the Chrome icon represents the mail server, but as you see below, along with AirDrop and Messages, the boxes are inactive.
So my question is, how do I prevent Chrome from opening every time I try to email from, or "share" a page?

From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail
If you don't use Mail, haven't set it up, and don't want to, then you'll have to enter fake data in the the  Add Accountdialogs and hold down the option key when you click Continue. Alternatively, you may be able to set the preference in the mail client you do use.

  • Iphoto won't share photos by email, share file won't open.

    iphoto won't share photos by email, share file won't open. what do I do?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • How to email a "link" from Safari?

    Since upgrading to Lion I can't figure out how to send a "link" from a Safari page in Apple's Mail. Example: I am surfing "MacSurfer" and I click on a link to read it. I then decide to email the link to my daughter. I used to be able to open Mail and drag the URL into the body of the email. Now, in Lion, the URL of the link just says "Go To This Address". I can't seem to have both apps (Safari and Mail) open at the same time on my desktop. And what's up with the  "Go To This Address" thing in the URL so often?
    I have both Mail and Safari each set up as "Full Screen" so they will be permanently stuck on a desktop in Mission Control. Could this have something to do with it?
    I'm also running into another issue in Safari. If I click on a link and a new page opens many times there are no "traffic lights" (red, yellow, green in upper left of page) and the "Back" arrow is greyed out. Also, the contextual menu does not offer to go back. The only way to close the page is to quit, which causes me to close Safari all together.
    What am I missing?
    And while I'm on my ***** fest here…I'm not thrilled with this new discussion board either. It wasn't broke, so why "fix" it? (Maybe I'm just getting old and don't adapt to change so well.) OK, I feel better now!

    Can someone help?
    In Safari File: Mail:Link o This Page has stopped working on my macbook pro running Lion-- all of a sudden I am seeing this error message when I want mail a website link to someone:
    An email message can’t be created to send the link because Safari can’t find an email application.
    This message does not show when I click on a hyperlink within the body of a webpage viewed in Safari.
    This does not happen in Firefox. The File: Mail Link works just fine. Maybe I should stop using Safari but I like it!!!
    I checked all of the system preferences suggested in various support documents. Did I miss something?

  • Clicking on External Link in Safari Opens New Tab

    I think it has to do with one of the preferences I've set within Safari but I just can't put a finger on which one.
    Basically, I reinstalled Yosemite 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013) about a week ago. And then I tinkered with Safari preferences.
    Since then, whenever I click on an external link, for example, an email address, Safari opens a New Tab instead of launching my Mail app.
    Not sure how to do undo this.

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail
    If you don't use Mail, you may be able to set the preference in the mail client you do use.

  • Every link in Safari opens in new tab or window

    I'd like to find a way so that every time I click a link in Safari, instead of opening in the current window, it opens in either a new tab or window.
    I understand that I can hold down "Command" while I click a link and it will open in a new window or tab, and that I can right click or control click and select "open in new window" from the contextual menu, but I don't want to do that.
    I simply want every link that I click to open in a new window. Every time.
    I'm willing to dig deep into the system and get under the hood if necessary.
    Thanks,
    Darryl

    I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking me to post my Safari preferences? Or something else?
    Anyway, 10.6.6 running Safari 5.0.3.
    Tab preferences - "Open pages inn tabs instead of windows" = "Always".
    "Command-click opens link in a new tab" - checked
    "When a new tab or window opens, make it active" - checked
    "Confirm before closing multiple tabs or windows" - checked.

  • Stop email links automatica​lly opening in browser

    I accidently selected the option to always open links from my email in the toshiba internet browser and now everything opens there instead of having an option to open in an app instead. How can I reset this to give me an option of opening it "once" or "always" again as it's really annoying.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Oh, I'm sorry. I should have seen this was posted in the Excite board.
    In the Settings app, select "Apps" on the left. On the right section, there will be different tabs. It's kind of difficult to notice at first that there are tabs, but it should be on the "DOWNLOADED" tab at first. To the right of that is the word "RUNNING." Tap that to change to that tab, and now you should see "ALL" to the right of that. Tap that one. In the "ALL" tab, scroll down and find the application that's currently opening. Tap it. I assume it's "Browser." Now scroll down to the section called "LAUNCH BY DEFAULT" and tap the "Clear defaults" button.

  • Emailed a link (token) and when my browser opens it I get the error: An error occured. The URL had a missing or invalid conirmation token.

    tyring to set up an Alumni Email Forwarding Account. They sent me a confirmation email with the link to complete the process. When I "followed" the link, Firefox opens the page and I get the message: An error occured. The URL had a missing or invalid confirmation token.
    I'm wondering if maybe my browser settings are the problem and if so, what do I need to change.

    Does that link have special characters in it that may get corrupted when pasting or passed via DDE?<br />

  • Hyperlink link action to open in browser from Syclo WM (Workorder Notes)

    Hello All , I want to make my notes as hyperlink in Agentry Syclo Workorder Level . ex1 : Notes has information : www.google.com if i press "www.google.com" then it should open in iPad safari browser as google.com Ex 2 : if Notes has information : gmail.com then when we press as hyperlink then it should open Gmail.com can you suggest ? how can i do this as hyperlink action in Syclo iPad screen ? Thanks  & Regards,   Kunal Varaiya

    Kunal,
    The HTML control is like building a website in HTML presented inside the Agentry screen.  You can use the same techniques that other people use where they use an update rule to use the @CONCATENATE rule of Agentry to add all the HTML tags to build a web page.  So for your Notes if you defined this as an HTML you will need to fully build the HTML page for it. You will need to master the Agentry @CONCATENATE rule and how you can add different properties or show different properties to ultimately build your notes field.
    In theory you can Concatenate all your properties in this one field to display on the screen.
    Here is an example of Concatenate and building an HTML functionality for the update rule against an HTML defined field. This is more complicated but if you only need to put a web page address on your typical <HTML> </HTML> then this is much simple compared to my picture below. In theory all you are doing is building the <HTML> tags and you see it in the concatenation rule below.
    Picture 1 of 2:
    In this picture above there are examples in Agentry on how your escape a squiggly line -> { as this squiggly line gets Agentry confuse or a back to back open + close { } squiggly line needs to be escape. /*{*/}. I can't remember the exact rule here but I think there is a doc somewhere on the escaping.

  • How to open up your fav links when Safari opens?

    I read somewhere that you can use the Automator to use Safari to open up the same webpages in different tabs everytime you open Safari. I have never used Automator before and I am not very good at writing scripts but it looked somewhat straight forward. Also will this work for any browser?

    What you want to do is easy to do in Safari, although it does require one mouse click from you when Safari is launched.
    Put all the bookmarks you want to open at once in a folder and put the folder on the Bookmarks Bar. On the Show All Bookmarks page, check Auto-Click next to the folder. Now when you open Safari, click on the folder and all the bookmarks will start loading, each in its own tab. If later you want just one of the bookmarks, command-click on the folder and you will get a drop-down menu of the bookmarks to choose from.

  • Why can't I email a link from safari?

    When I have a page up in Safari on my iPad2 and try to email it using the arrow button, it will not send. The email looks like it goes but my contacts don't receive it. Can someone help me to resolve this issue?

    Try something basic first. Close Safari and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Safari icon. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
