How do I force Outlook 2010 to use Firefox instead if IE8?

Whenever I click a link in my emails, it opens in IE8. With only one link, it works fine, but when I click on multiple links in a techie email, IE locks up when dealing with multiple tabs. Firefox works great.
Where do I change the settings in Outlook 2010 so that links will open using Firefox instead???????
Help files have not produced an answer.
This is on a Win 7 Ultimate 32, Office 2010 Military version, with full Outlook 2010.
TIA

I found that this link solved my problem for windows 7:

How to get to outlook express when using firefox

new to firefox i do not see a tab to access my email in outlook express when using fire fox

http://www.webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html <br />
The GetMail extension provides a '''button''' for opening your email program. Make sure you read the instructions for setting GM Options for Outlook Express, as the default setting in GM is for Gmail.
Also, you need to read this for setting up Firefox to use Outlook Express for "Send Mail" buttons on web pages or "Send Link" from within Firefox. Firefox also defaults to Gmail. <br />

How can I disable Outlook 2010 addins using Group Policy

I have downloaded and imported the templates to enable me to set a GPO for disabling Outlook addins, but I am confused about how I disable things like the SharePoint addins (we do not use SharePoint so this is not needed). I have found several
posts saying to do this via a registry change, which I can easily do via GPO, but it does not say how to add keys for the different addins.
Does anyone have details of what I need to add into the registry or have a link to somewhere that gives a list of common ones I can use?

Hi,
>>Does anyone have details of what I need to add into the registry or have a link to somewhere that gives a list of common ones I can use?
After searching around, I think the following article may give us some tips about how to manage application-level add-ins. To disable a specific add-in, we can try to set the value of
LoadBehavior entry to 0 in the add-in's corresponding registry key. The registry key path for a specific add-in is as follows:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\application name\Addins\add-in ID
Registry Entries for Application-Level Add-Ins
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386106.aspx#LoadBehavior
If this doesn't help, in order to get better help, it's recommended that we ask for suggestions in the following Outlook or SharePoint forums.

How do I force new notes to use iCloud instead of "On My Mac"?

I'm synching notes between my Macbook Pro and my iPhone but it's driving me a little crazy. When using my macbook, on "All Notes", if I create a new note, it goes into "On My Mac" instead of the iCloud folder. I'm assuming this mean it will never synch with my phone, so I have to manually drag each note to iCloud after I write it. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or is it normal?

Just so you will know. I went ahead and tested it and it worked fine.
I removed all notes from the On My Mac section. Deleted all folders from On My Mac except Notes (would not let me delete it). Signed out of iCloud and removed all information from the computer. When I signed back in, I unchecked all boxes that first came up. Then selected individually each item to enable in iCloud. I did not get the Pop Up to merge information when I enabled Notes (probably because I had none to merge), but notes now only has only the iCloud account on it.
FYI: In order to get the On My Mac back showing in the list, you would once again have to sign out of iCloud, create a local note, then sign back in without merging information. Then the On My Mac account will stay.

How to merge two Outlook 2010 pst data files?

How to merge two Outlook 2010 pst data files?

Easy way: with the one you want to use open in Outlook and the other one not in your profile, go to File, Open, Import.
If you only want to merge some content, open both pst files in outlook and drag between folders. For calendar, use a list view to see all of the appointments.

How can I force Time Machine to use existing backup sparsebundle files?

I backed up both my OSX Mountain Lion MBP and MacOSX Snow Leopard iMac to the same USB Disk. I then plugged this USB Disk into my Time Capsule, and configured Time Machine in both macs to use it through the network. But Time Machine insists on creating new backup sparsebundle files, ignoring the existing ones. How can I force Time Machine to use the existing backups.backupdb sparsebundle files instead of creating new ones?

How can I force Time Machine to use the existing backups.backupdb sparsebundle files instead of creating new ones?
You can't. Time Machine works differently over a network than it does with a locally-attached drive. What you could do is delete the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume, which contains the backups you made via USB. You should then be able to backup to the same sparsebundle locally and over the network. But I wouldn't recommend doing that. Certainly don't do it unless you have at least one other complete backup (which you should have anyway.)

Outlook 2010 cannot use Secure Password Authentication

I am the administrator of the server running Microsoft Windows 2003 Server POP3 service since 2008. It hosts my email account. Nobody but me manages the settings of the server and the client side. Until the moment I decided to install Microsoft Outlook
2010 as a client there was Secure Password Authentication working between Outlook 2003 and Windows 2003 Server. After installing of Outlook 2010, when I try to sync, the SPA authentication doesn't work. Nothing is changed on the server side.
Enabling the SPA authentication on the both sides results a communicaton problem between Microsoft Windows 2003 Server POP3 service and Microsoft Outlook 2010 client. When I disable SPA on both sides the connection works but password is sent
as plain text. Actually I started a discussion on
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/outlook-2010-cannot-use-secure-password/66dafd66-1b00-43b5-96fb-b8a26254fc77 but I didn't receive an answer with a solution.

Snefels,
This is actually a known issue that Outlook 2010 doesn't work well with Windows Server 2003 POP services.
Here is the blog post for the issue:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jjameson/archive/2010/04/26/outlook-2010-does-not-work-with-windows-server-2003-pop3-service.aspx
If you read the comments below, you'll found that some readers' shared some workaround/solutions, which reportedly works for others. So you might want to have a look.
Disable SPA on the Windows 2003 POP3 server and do the same in Outlook 2010 POP setup.. using the full email address, "[email protected]" instead of just doug (if using the Secure Password Authentication).

I have just downloaded an alternative keyboard (Fast Keyboard).
How do I get my Ipad2 to use it instead of the default keyboard, please?
Thanks for your help

First, please don't shout.
Second, don't post personal information.
Third, restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Invalid security certificate for my website host-they say the problem is Apple Safari and use Firefox instead

For the past few days, I keep getting an invalid security certificate in Safari whenever I select Edit My Site from my website homepage (http://annaporterartist.com), or whenever I select anything requiring a secure log in from my website host main page (FASO.com). I have contacted technical support at my website host (fineartstudioonline.com) and they say that this has been an intermittently recurring problem in Safari for years and they recommend that I use Firefox instead. As proof of this they emailed a link to an Apple Support discussion, but it was for Mac OS X Lion v 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1, even though I told them I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion v 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.2. I do not get this error message anywhere else on the web using Safari. I did try Firefox and it seems to work fine, but I prefer Safari and I want to know why Safari is not working as it should be. I am concerned that there is a real security problem with my website host and I need someone to explain why I am getting this error message, what it means, and if it is, in fact, a known problem with Safari or is my website host corrupted? Really tired of technical support playing pass the buck or pretending the problem does not exist.
The specific error message is:
Their response to my inquiry and my reply is shown below:

Back up all data.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

There are three menus in the window. What is selected in each of them?

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

I cannot use a website I need to use, with Firefox 5.0. So, I need to uninstall and go back to 3.5 or 3.6. Please advise. Also, my control panel locks up since Windows Explorer has pbms. Which is why I am using Firefox instead. Thanks for any help!

''I figured it was going to be FAFSA causing your problem.''
Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all. <br />

How do I sync outlook 2010 using the latest idunes

I upgraded to the latest version of Itunes and now Itunes will not see my outlook?

After multiple hours of searching and trial and error I found the solution--for those that are still looking. Yes you can sync Outlook 2010 running on Windows 7 to your iPhone 4--contacts, calendars, notes, bookmarks, etc.
Here's how:
Items you will need:
iPhone
Computer
Microsoft Outlook 2010
iTunes USB dock connector for iPhone
Step 1 Open iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer.
Step 2 Click your iPhone name in the "Devices" section of the left menu column.
Step 3 Click the "Info" tab in the main window.
Step 4 Check the box marked "Sync Contacts with". Step 5 Click the drop-down box next to "Sync Contacts with" and select "Outlook." Step 6 Select "All Contacts" or "Selected Groups." Step 7 Check the boxes next to the Outlook contact groups you wish to sync if in Step 6 you chose to sync only groups. Step 8 Click "Apply." If the sync is successful, skip to Step 15. If the sync is unsuccessful, continue to Step 9. Step 9 Open Outlook. Step 10 Click "Tools" and select "Trust Center." Step 11 Click "Add-ins." Step 12 Click "COM Add-ins" in the "Manage" section. Step 13 Click "iTunes Sync Add-in," then click OK. Step 14 Repeat Steps 1-8. Step 15 Connect your iPhone to your computer and sync as normal.

Force Outlook 2011 to use iCal default calendar to synchronize with google

Here is a problem.
My default calendar program is Outlook 2011.
I have an iCal synchronizing with my google calendar and outlook to sync with iCal via Sync Services - so in theory my outlook calendar should be synchronized with Google.
I setup in iCal's preferences my google calendar as default (because iCal synchronizing only Google calendar not the other calendars on my mac) so at this stage, if I use iCal to add new remainder/appointment it is store by iCal in default calendar (which I setup to be my google calendar) and is synchronizing with goggle calendar right away.
Synchronizing between iCal and google works fine, however there is a problem with outlook sync with iCal, because Outlook synchronizing all items in iCal with “no category” calendar (which seems to be default and although I have changed in preferences of iCal default calendar to be the google one). Even if I delete all “on my mac” calendars - outlook creates always new one called “no category”, when I try to add new appointment with Outlook.
So there is question, how to force Outlook (or maybe syncservice) to use my google calendar in iCal as default. I think once it be possible, synchronizing between Outlook and my google calendar (via Sync Services and iCal) works great.
Anyone knows how to manage it?
My system:
Outlook is 14.1.4 version
MacOs X Lion 10.7.3
iCal 5.0.2

Hi Maxulus,
