How do I disable or change Safari's default "upload" folder?

Here's the deal:
Whenever on my brand new iMac I go to, for example, upload a photo in Tumblr or add an attachment in gmail, the box that opens in Safari always opens in the "documents" folder. This is a change for me from the older version of Safari I have on my 3 yr old ibook.
It used to be that the box would open up onto whichever folder I had previously selected from. This new "feature" is annoying when I want to upload, e.g., multiple photos in Tumblr (this website will not allow you to select multiple photos at once, but requires you to select "upload photo" for EACH photo), since I have to click on Upload Photo, then Media>Photos>iPhoto>specific iPhoto folder, THEN select the photo I want every time, rather than just Upload Photo>photo I want.
Is this just a new "feature" of Safari, or is there a way to work around it? I've searched the web and looked through Safari preferences multiple times. I also downloaded firefox and found that the same thing happens there.
What's particularly strange is that when I go to upload additional photos, the box briefly shows the contents of the previous folder (in this case, a folder in iphoto from media>photos), but quicker than I can select anything, it reverts "back" to the documents folder.
Is the only answer to move items INTO the docs folder before uploading multiple items one at a time?

what a quick response! If I can figure it out, I'll post it here...I have stuff on etsy and have to pick one photo at a time: www.blackburnarts.etsy.com
good luck!

how can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

For txt messages you can change the option of whether previews are shown (Settings >> Messages >> Show Preview Toggle). Switching this "Off" will still show a notification of a missed txt message, but it will not show text from the message itself.
Unfortunately, similar functionality does not currently exist for phone calls; however, the new iOS release (scheduled for September, I think rumor has it) will revamp the way notifications are handled, and there maybe an elegant solution for you then.

Changing Safari's default mail app...

Anybody know how to change Safari's default mail app??
I don't use Apple Mail, I prefer Entourage and I would love to have it as the default mail app in Safari. When I hit command + I or command + Shift + I , I want Entourage to open, not Mail. Is there any way to do this?
Methods that don't involve going under the bonnet (hood for you Americans) would be preferred.
...but if I must go under the bonnet/hood then I wouldn't mind setting the google bar to go to Google.co.uk not .com
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Gaberdine

Thanks Ferd II, that's fixed it. And it was painless
It never ocurred to me that I might set my default mail app from within Mail... because I never open it except for when Safari opened it by default (grrr).
I thought I might have to use a hack or Terminal (that's what I meant by going under the bonnet (hood)really) but it turns out to be so simple if you only know how - and that's the absolute joy of these forums.
I suspect changing the default localisation for the Google search bar in Safari would be more complex however...
Cheers,
Gaberdine
Edit: For anybody anybody else who sets Entourage as their default mail app; be aware that it doesn't permit mailing a whole webpage from Safari (Command + I) only the link to the page (Command + Shift + I). Try it and you'll get an alert recommending you use Apple Mail. lol

Change default upload folder

When uploading files (Email attachments etc), the default folder in the Open dialog is Desktop.
How can I set a different default folder?
Thank you.

Desktop Is Not The Default Upload Folder In Your Firefox, If You Are Seeing The Desktop Folder While While Trying To Upload Something it just means that, The Last file Upload is From The desktop. :)

How do I make the UK Safari my default browser when I log on ?

Excuse me if this sounds stupid, but Im on broadband and and when I log onto Safari I get the USA version, so if I want to go to the Store page I get prices in dollars, which means I then have to go to a bookmark for the Apple Store UK to get what I want. So heres my problem:
1. Am I correct that there is a UK Safari browser and if so
a) Is it identical to the USA Safri browser with news etc
b) How would I make the UK version my default bowser ?
As usual hope this makes sense !
Albert

Albert,
Although some default bookmarks may be specific to the U.S., Safari is generally not country specific. User modification is simply a matter of entering your preferences or deleting unwanted bookmarks.
If you want the UK store as your "Home page", open Safari>Preferences...>General>and paste http://www.apple.com/uk/ into the "Home page:" field.

How do I disable SSLv3 in Safari (OSX & iOS)

Hi All,
So following this morning's Google announcement on the SSLv3 vulnerability, I tried disabling it on the client side on my various systems and browser. On OSX, I managed to do it for Firefox and Chrome but not for Safari. On iOS I didn't manage at all.
Any clue on how it can be done?
FWIW:
- Disabling SSLv3 in Firefox:
Open about:config, find security.tls.version.min and set the value to 1. Then restart your browser to drop any open SSL connections.
- Disabling SSLv3 in Chrome:
Launch Chrome using an AppleScript that contains the following
do shell script "open -a /Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app --args --ssl-version-min=tls1"
- Checking client-side vulnerability:
https://www.poodletest.com/
- Checking server-side vulnerability:
http://www.poodlebleed.com
Cheers,
Alex

Apple posted the following updates that include a fix for the SSLv3 "Poodle" issue:
Yosemite 10.10
Security Update 2014-005 Mavericks
Security Update 2014-005 Mountain Lion
as well as updates for all currently supported Servers (4.0, 3.2.2, 2.2.5)
All of them contain the following:
Secure Transport
Impact: An attacker may be able to decrypt data protected by SSL
Description: There are known attacks on the confidentiality of SSL
3.0 when a cipher suite uses a block cipher in CBC mode. An attacker
could force the use of SSL 3.0, even when the server would support a
better TLS version, by blocking TLS 1.0 and higher connection
attempts. This issue was addressed by disabling CBC cipher suites
when TLS connection attempts fail.
CVE-ID
CVE-2014-3566 : Bodo Moeller, Thai Duong, and Krzysztof Kotowicz of
Google Security Team
It would appear that your browsers will show "maybe vulnerable" on the poodletest site, so my guess is that OS X will prevent all apps from using SSLv3 even if they would otherwise be capable of doing so. This will protect other apps, such as e-mail clients that are also normally able to use SSLv3.

How to definitively change safari spellchecker default language?

Hi,
I use Safari 5.1.1 on Windows Vista with a fench keybord (AZERTY).
I also know how to change the language from English to French for instance. But every time I close the application or open a new tab/window, Safari goes back to english.
Ideally, it would be so usefull if the speller was abble to automatically recognize the language... That's something I expect from Apple ;-)
Thanks

How do I disable a Mac Safari Extension?

Everytime I look at anything, including my OWN website of items for sale, I can't see the copy under the photo because the darn box of comparable items (which are NOT so comparable) hides all of my text and prices. I have tried everything and can't find a way to even find that ext. much less disable it. HELP! The extension says, "See More" in an orange box and then produces this bar of pictures and prices of items from other online shops. SO ANNOYING. I need to remove this or at least have the X in the box work when i don't want this!!! Thanks!

You've looked in Safari - Preferences - Extensions ?
It's also possible that you have 'downlite' (vSearch) adware installed.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

How Do I Disable The Pop-Up Blocker to Upload Video to Facebook & Others?

When I try to upload a video clip I shot of some 4th of July Fireworks to Facebook, I get the error message "In order to upload videos on your profile, Facebook needs to be able to create a pop-up window. Please disable your pop-up blocker or allow this page to create popups, then try again."
I have uploaded to FB before, but apparently I've turned on the pop-up blocker. How do I turn it off? I am new to MAC from pc, so please have mercy and help me...
Thanks

Hi IamR.Ph.
Unless you have a 3rd party blocker, Safari's built-in one can be disabled via the following method:
In the top menu click Safari (to the right of the Apple logo) then click "Block Pop-Up Windows."
If you see a check mark next to this then the blocker is enabled, if there's no check mark than the blocker is already disabled and something else is doing the blocking.

How to get Preview to be Safari's default PDF viewer

I mistakenly downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader, after being advised by a state tax website. I wish I had first tested my existing configuration because Safari/Preview had always worked just fine for viewing PDF (with the Feds!), but I didn't. Adobe A. Reader "asked me" if I wanted to make it the default reader of PDF, and mistake number two, I clicked yes. Then I realized I didn't like A.A.Reader compared with Preview, so I threw it out (I coudn't find any uninstall function). After that Preview worked for PDF files already on my computer, but not in Safari. Safari Help said there is a toolbar that can be accessed by putting the pointer over the bottom center of the (SafarI) browser window and then 4 buttons are supposed to appear, one saying "open PDF with Preview." I cant seem to get this toolbar to appear!
I hope there is someone clever out there to tell me how to get Preview to open PDF files in Safari again.
Message was edited by: blckhed OK, just like the mistake I made with A. A. Reader, I should've looked through the discussions 1st (blame it on tax fatigue) because I found the answer in response to "Adobe Reader messed up Preview & Safari for me. What now." I removed the offending AAP plugins from the Internet Plugins folder (Mac HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins) and everything is back to normal. Thanks Apple Discussions!

How do I disable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer?

I have already set the default application to open PDFs to Preview by using the "Open with..." and "Change All" option.
Now PDFs open in Preview, but I have a weird side effect: when I create a PDF (from Microsoft Word, etc.) the document is created with an Adobe Reader ICON, it then quickly changes to a Preview ICON (and opens in Preview).
PDFs are doing what I want, but the flash of Adobe Reader ICON (pun intended) is quite annoying. I have searched through the Adobe Reader Preferences and can find nothing that seems related. Any ideas?

Instead of saving as a PDF thru Work do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF and it will be saved the first time with the Preview icon.

How do I disable Quicktime for being my default player for .avi files?

When I click on a .avi file, quicktime always tells me it's unable to open it because it needs a plugin. So I use VLC media player b/c it's hassle free. When I open an avi file, I select the "always open with" option when I choose VLC. Unfortunately, I have to do that for every single avi file I put on my computer. How do I get Quicktime to stop being my default player for .avi files only? I still prefer it to be my default player, but just not .avi files.

Thanks for the link. Is this perian prefpane all I need to maximize my quicktime experience? Basically, will I never EVER see a "quicktime can't open this..." message again? Can I delete VLC media player now?
Also, what the heck is the point of the Eject button in the top right corner of the keypad. When I tried ejecting the perian "disc" that I got from opening the .dmg, it didn't work. Is that button only good for ejecting actual discs from the cd/dvd rom?

How do I download PDFs from Safari by default?

I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window. I know it can be done, worked before I installed a new drive. But I don't remember what to do to make downloading the default.
Thanks!

I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window.
What version of Mac OS X are you running, and what version of Safari? There is no default behavior to download a PDF file; you can only do that by Control-clicking on the link for the file and choosing to download it.

How can I disable "Show hidden objects" by default?

I've started linking to files on my computer like this, 'Index of file:///Users/michaelo/Dropbox/KN' which works fine apart from the fact that this calls up all the hidden files, which do not want to see by default.
There's a checkbox "Show hidden objects" which will hide these when unchecked. But settings are per folder and of course aren't remembered between sessions.
Is there a way via about:config to hide hidden objects by default?
TIA
