When I click on a link to email a page to someone, it defaults to outlook which is not my default email software. How do I change this?

Change the '''Action''' for '''''mailto''''' in the Applications tab of Options.

How can I change the default app to open when clicking on a YouTube video?

Since Firefox updated recently, I cannot long-tap to open a YouTube video with a different player (wanting to use PVStar+). Now tapping opens up the YouTube player, despite the fact it is disabled. How can I open with a custom app?

How do I change the default email-subject line when emailing from Acrobat 8...

Hi,
After creating a document in acrobat and clicking the email icon on the tool bar, Acrobat automatically opens and attaches the document to a new email message in Outlook. It also adds the file name as the subject, then appends "- Adobe Acrobat Professional". How do I remove and/or customize the default subject line appended by Acrobat Pro 8.12?
Thanks!

Hi, I have the same problem as Alan L. Whenever I have a file open in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and click File-> Attach to Email it creates a new Outlook message and attaches the file but does not populate the subject line with the file name. The subject line is blank. I tried to email the same PDF file from Foxit Reader and it correctly populated the subject field with the file name.
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Michael

You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.

How do you change the default email client (Mail) to Outlook when sharing?

In iPhoto I used Outlook as the default email to forward photos to friends. How do you change it from Mail in Photos to Outlook?

Never had this problem with previous versions of iPhoto.

How do I change the default email to hotmail? There is no "webmail" optioin in applications and no program available when I select "choose another program" when I follow the instructions.

I want to change my default email to hotmail (currently it goes to Outlook, which I don't use). Firefox instructions say to choose "webmail" in applications, but when I do, the only webmail account that shows up is gmail, which I don't use. The other option in the instructions says to select "use other" and then "browse", but again, when I open the browse file, there is nothing there for hotmail. How do I add hotmail to become the default?
Thanks

Setting Hotmail as the (default) mail provider involves doing some steps.
See:
*[[/questions/871548]]
Set the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to true on the about:config page. 
In Firefox 6+ you can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar. 
You can run the JavaScript code in the "Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad" (Shift + F4). 
Paste the full JavaScript code in the code window and run the code via "Execute > Run" 
Do not forget to reset the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to false after you have added that mail provider.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

How do i change the default to "all day" when I enter events?

Everytime I enter a new event into iCal, it automatically defaults to "all day" instead of opening up to allow me to enter the time. Is there a fix for this?

lopolion,
Here are some Lion iCal event entry tips:
1. Click Add at the top of the iCal window or press Command (⌘)-N.
Events are added automatically to your default calendar.
If you want to choose a different calendar for the event, hold down the Add button (+), and then choose a calendar.
To change your default calendar, choose iCal > Preferences, click General, and then select a calendar from the Default Calendar pop-up menu.
2. Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return.
For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.
