Entourage opening rather than Mail

For attachments or when I click on e-mail links on web pages Entourage opens to send e-mail - I'd prefer it to be Mail - how can I set tis as there is nothing in the system preferences for Mail ?

Hi Zapdoc,
In Apple Mail preferences in the "General" tab is a setting "Default Email Reader"
make sure that is set to Mail.
If you don't want to use Entourage and want to make the switch to Mail just import all your entourage mail in Apple Mail and delete entourage, that would take care of the issue too

When I try to open a pdf link in my browser I am asked where I want to save the file. I used to be asked if I wanted to open the file. How do I get back to being asked if I want to open rather than save?

Batch capture opening rather than log and transfer

What causes batch capture to open rather than log and transfer? Attempting to media manage and reimport clips but only batch capture will open? Thanks, Michael

Hey there camera400,
were there any solutions you found? I'm having exactly the same issue at the moment....
I'm following the "RED FCS White Paper" dated November 11, 2008 from the RED support page-
Doing "Workflow 2: Work offline Using ProRes; Finish Using RED Quicktime Media" - (my offline was ProRes (hq)).
Based on this workflow, I get all way through step 5.3 of Workflow 2 -- creating offline project and setting Log & Transfer settings.
The Paper suggests that when I right-click the new offline sequence, select "Batch Capture" from the shortcut menu, the Log & Transfer window will appear, allowing me to reinjest RED footage.
However, it opens Batch Capture instead...
Any insights appreciated.

How to set iPhoto to use yahoo webmail rather than mail.app

When emailing from within iPhoto using the email icon or via the share menu option in the task bar, mail.app launches. I prefer to use (Yahoo) webmail, rather than use an email client, so how do I change this setting?
Thx in advance.

Mansel
Simply: you can’t, I’m afraid. This feature requires an E-Mail Client that supports Apple Script. Yahoo Mail is a service (not an client) that’s accessed via a Web Browser and it’s not Apple Scriptable.
FYI:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Csv files open rather than download

Hello,
We've just set up a new Communigate Pro mail server. However, our Safari users are experiencing a bit of a quirk when it comes to accessing their attachments. When clicking on the download link for an attachment of content-type text/csv, the attachment opens as plain text in a new Safari window by default rather than it being downloaded. The user can option-click to force it to download, but I'd rather it download by default, as is the case with Firefox. Is there a preferences setting I can change to make this happen?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
There's no setting you can set in Safari to make it download a particular file. I don't know anything about Communigate but can you modify it to specify a content-disposition header for the csv files? E.g.
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mydatafile.csv"
The 'Content-Disposition' header will tell the browser to download the file rather than view it inline.

Sending photos "open" rather than attachment

Try dragging the photo into your mail message. In the bottom right hand corner, there should be an option for "actual size", medium, or small for the photo.HTH

Opening messages and having them save on desktop rather than mail downloads

how do I make it so that when I click on an attachment in an email message, it will be downloaded into my desktop and not my mail downloads folder. when I had panther, it always just moved any documents or files I opened on the message directly onto desktop so I could find it and move it into the proper folder quicker. I never even used the save function on the message so the downloads folder on my dock would be obsolete. maybe thats why its there, but honestly it takes more time to do it like that so I prefer to just have the ones I need and want to open moved to the desktop as I open it for the first time.

I guess my question wasn't specific enough. Im actually talking about when I double click an attachment that is on the email and it opens with the correct application, the attachment then saves itself onto the Mail Downloads folder which is located under the Library folder. I think what you mean is when I press Save for my attachments, that I can change where it goes. Which is not my concern at this time. With the previous OS, I could double click an attachment and it would immediately save to my desktop and not the Mail Downloads folder in the Libary.

How do I get Aperture 3.5 to open - rather than 3.4.5?

I have a 4.4 GHz Intel core i& iMac - and have recently upgraded to OSX 10.9. When Mavericks had installed, a number of programs appeared in the App Store - available as upgrade - all iLife programs updated fine - but although the Aperture 3.5 update downloaded (and indeed App Store now says it is installed) - whenever I open it, I get the earlier version - The App is installed in the main Applications folder - and all other updates are installed (App Store has no further updates available) Can anyone offer any insight? Cheers!

correct - it creates a tiff file from the raw file for you to work with in CS5.
Just to take things a step further, you can change your external editor from one app to another depending on what you want to do.
In addition to using PSE6, I also use Tiffen DFX2 and Corel Painter. If I have a photo I want to do something interesting with, I might change the external editor from PSE6 to Painter and do the photo painting thing, then change the editor back to PSE6 for subsequent use. My most extravagant example is a night shot of a city, where from the nef file I have in Aperture:
1. the original (master) unaltered
2. three different versions of the master with variations on curves and recovery
3. a black-and-white version as a tiff from Tiffen DFX2, using a Box Brownie filter
4. another tiff version from PSE6 where I used a couple of gradient filters to produce interesting night lighting effects, and finally...
5. A Corel Painter tiff where I overpainted part of the photo with watercolour.
When I look at these in Aperture, there are a total of seven images in the stack, of which 3 are tiff files. I hope that makes sense?

Calx

Older version of Firefox 3.6 intermittent opens rather than 3.63

I had the previous version of Firefox 3.6 installed. It ran fine except when it tried to update to 3.62 it would hangup during the download and never complete it. I eventually installed 3.63 but occasionally the "older" 3.6 version will open and intermittent say you've updated to 3.6. At other time the 3.63 will open and intermittent say you've upgraded to 3.63. Most of the time when I open firefox the 3.63 opens. I only see one version on my harddrive otherwise I would consider deleting the older version. I'm running a MAC with Snow Leopard

Looking for a zip application that will open rather than extract zip files

In OS X, the built-in operation for zip files is that when you double-click on one, os x extracts the whole thing to a new folder. I am looking for an application that will open zip files without extracting them - what winzip does in Windows. Are there any apps that will do this in os x?

Try Zipeg - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

When I open a new tab and type in a URL, a new window opens, rather than the link appearing in the tab. Also, when opening links embedded in pages, these always open in new windows rather than tabs. I want to use tabs!

I was cleaning my keyboard, I wonder if some button got pushed that altered the settings. But when I look at firefox's settings, nothing is obvious.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I file at last location rather than location of current file?

I have Abobe Reader X. In the old Adobe, when I saved a file, it took me to the last folder I was in, not the location of the current file. Thus far, I have not been able to find out how to get Adobe Reader X to do this. I even asked work help desk for help and their solution to unclick 'Automatically save document changes to temp file' worked once.
Is it possible? This is what I want.
Example:
I open file that is saved at Y:Scanned Files and save it at
X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis. I open the next file that is at Y:Scanned Files and click on File:Save As/PDF and window opens to save at Y:Scanned Files rather than at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis, where I just was. I want to save file at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Afghans so instead of just one click, I now have to go through six. Now imagine you have 30 or 40 documents you have to save. That's minimum 180 clicks versus 30. A big difference. And if you multiply it further by daily and weekly, it's a lot.
How can I get Adobe Reader X to open the 'save as' window at the last location rather than the current file's address? I also have Adobe Acrobat, but can't figure out how to get it work in that either.
I do not like Adobe Reader X. Unfortunately, it got downloaded automatically at work.
Another complaint I have is when I have Adobe Acrobat open and I click on a pdf to open, rather than open in Adobe Acrobat, it opens in Adobe Reader X (which was not the case with the previous Reader). If I want to open a doc in Acrobat, I have to go to Acrobat and File/Open, which is a pain.
Another complaint is, why do you have 'save as' and then 'pdf' or 'text'? This is another time consuming click I have to make. Add it to the 180 I'm already making above and you can see why I'm extremely unhappy and frustated with this version of Adobe.
Please let me know if the above is feasible or not and if it is, how to do it. If it isn't feasible, please make the above adjustments to Reader Y and put it out pronto. Thank you.

Thank you, "the-edmeister" -- You render a great service, one that lifts my spirits.
Your answer also taught me to be a little more persistent, as I had started looking at Preferences, and just didn't notice the icons (including Applications) at the top of that window that would have led me to my answer.

Why does Firefox 5 open external (internet, SMTP) e-mail in the browser rather than the Lotus Notes Client?

Using Lotus Notes as the system's primary mail client, '''some''' users experience external mail being opened in the browser rather than the the client. When they revert back to using an older version as the OS default browser, or indeed a different browser altogether, this does not happen.
Again, this does not happen with all installations of 5.0 - just a few.

go to "preferences" in Lotus Notes and enable "disable embodded browser for MIME mail" and it shoudn't open the browser anymore
