How to set or change the default From Address

I have a number of email address and when i click on the "Compose a new message" the New messge always comes up showing my gmail address in From line. I have to remember to manually use the popup to select the desired address. I have looked and cannot find a Mail option to select one of the other addresses as the default address for new messages.
Some help on how to change the default address for new messages will be appreciate.

You can drag the order of accounts in Mail preferences in the Accounts pane. Put your preferred account as the first.
Also, in the outgoing server preferences, check the box to use only the server for the selected account. Make sure the correct server is showing.
Also, if you highlight the account you wish to send from in the sidebar, that should be the active account when creating new messages.
In addition: Check the mail preferences under composing and make sure you don't have an account selected to send new messages from, or select the account you wish to always send from.

HT201342 In Apple Mail, how do I change the default outgoing address for mailboxes that I've set up?

In Apple Mail (Yosemite on a MacBook Pro), the default address for outgoing messages from mailboxes that I've set up that are *not* tied to separate email accounts has suddenly become my iCloud address (which I almost never use). I've got my default set to use whatever address is the default for the mailbox I'm in. This works fine for mailboxes associated with different mail accounts, and until recently it worked fine for mailboxes that I had set up for convenience, using my default email address (which is an Earthlink address I've had for many years). Somewhere within the last year, perhaps with an upgrade to the OS, I've found that outgoing mail from one of those mailboxes (but not from the general Inbox) defaults to my iCloud address. I have to manually choose a different address each time (which is hard to remember to do). This is new behavior, and very unwelcome. But I can see no way to change the default email address associated with each mailbox.
How do I undo this unwanted connection?

Hi everyone
Sorry however I'm experiencing a similiar issue, in that I have 10 differing email accounts.
However in the default email accounts, for some bizarre reason, only 4 show, being icloud, one of my older yahoo email accounts, my work email and then "From My PC".
I run two other businesses of which I have a proper Google Mail Business Accountsfor each, but non of my google email address show in the default list.
Is there any reason why?
I actually want one of those to show.
I have put my google mail to the top of the inbox, however it still doesn't show?
I've also put the default calendar as my google business account but still the default account doesn't display.
Any ideas?

How do I change the default from CS6 to Photoshop CC when I open a photo from Bridge CC?

How do I change the default from CS6 to Photoshop CC when I open a photo from Bridge CC?

Thank you. That works when I double click a RAW image, (opens in ACR then when I open from there it goes to CC) but when I double click a jpg it goes straight to CS6. I'm hoping there is a way to change the default, but haven't found yet. I don't want to remove CS6.

Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't set the default email address when you email a PDF.
It's found in the Settings app:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Mail > Default Account

TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with.
Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

Anyway to change the default IP addresses?

Is there any way to change the default IP addresses? My company allows split tunneling but only to a specific range of IP addresses. I would like to do this as my printer is not directly attached to my computer, but is a LAN printer. I don't want to continually vpn in / out just to print. Is there anyway to override or add another range of IP addresses other than the 10 and 192 nets?

I'm sorry to tell you that that particular developers' decision in Preview's design as to where the window opens is not adjustable.
Hope this helps

How can you PERMANENTLY change the default Ken Burns effect?

I don't like the Ken Burns effect and want to PERMANENTLY remove it from the default setting for slideshows. I know how to deselect it every time I create a new slideshow, but isn't there a way to change the default setting so the Ken Burns effect is not selected unless I want it?

SImilarly, you cannot permanently disable the Ken Burns effect and remove it from the default settings.

How to ... change the default for "patch name" when doing the assemlby?

Hi all,
how to change the default settings for the "patch name" in the assembly step?
By default the name will be set to <trackID>.<timestamp> and I would like to have something else ...
Best regards
and thanks for any help
Michael

I don't think you can - there's nothing in the documentation indicating how you can change the default. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a configuration file somewhere that contained an assembly name template, but altering it (assuming it exists) would certainly be at your own risk.
You could always open an OSS note against BC-CTS-CMS and ask.

How do you I change the default e-mail address within a contact in Address Book

My v-card (My Card) information has 3 e-mail addresses. My work e-mail address is the default used whenever I use autofill on a web page. I am trying to change the default e-mail within my contact to my home e-mail address but there is no information that I can find to do this.

Understand. I am in the edit mode for my contact. I see all the contact info. There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

Unable to change the default mail address

I'm not able to change my default email address in my profile.
Currently I have one email listed. When I add 1-2 other emails and then wants to change which one to use as default it removes the newly added addresses.
I have tried just adding one, I have added a new address logged out logged in and tried to chandge default address, have tried adding two and saved, logged out logged in etc.
Every time it removes the address(es) I've added and resets my default choice to the first one.
Is this a known problem? Any solutions? Have searched the forum with no luck.

I have the same problem. any help will be appreciated.

How can I change the default "from" email account on my iPad/iPhone in IOS 8.2?

I currently use my phone & pad for business and personal use. My emails should come from my business account but they're coming from my Yahoo account. How can I change it without having to manually change each email? I've checked online but I don't see settings/mail,contacts,calendars/default account in this new revision of software.
Thanks!

Hi bschmidt0726,
Go to "Setting"; scroll down to the 4th box for "iCloud"; You need to turn on you "Mail" option in the "iCloud" settings.
Then,
Go into "Settings", scroll down to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"; on the left panel, scroll down to the 4th box; there you'll find the "Default Account" settings.

How can you change the default from Numbers 3.0 to Numbers 09

I unfortunately upgraded to Numbers 3.0 before checking to see if they ruined all the functionality. I still have Numbers 09 and use it, but I have to "open with" each time because 3.0 is now the default app. I can't find a preference setting to make 09 the default. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
Eric

If OS X has to choose, it will always open the most recent version of an app.
If you want to use Numbers '09, the best thing you can do is to move Numbers 3.0 to an external drive or delete it. New features will be added in the upcoming months > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Iphone Notes - how do I change the default mail address?

This a variation of the question of why my notes FROM the Iphone do not sync into Outlook Notes, anymore.
In my Iphone Notes set up, it refers to my gmail address as the default address. In my Mail, I have two Outlook addresses, with one being the default mail.
Having found some of my missing notes in my Gmail notes, I now think my problem is in the address.
But I cannot see any way to change my Notes default address to one of my Outlook addresses. No matter how much I try, a change will not activate.
Question: what steps do I take to change my Notes default address from [email protected] to [email protected] ?
Thank you

The default email address can be set via Settings > Notes
Whether an email address will appear on that list will depend upon whether you have notes 'on' for the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars (select the account on the right-hand side of that screen)

HT2506 How to set outlook as the default mail client for Preview

When I try to us Preview to email PDFs the Apple Mail client is the default mail client that opens. I use Lion and would like to set Outlook as my default. Does anyone know how to do this? It has been suggested that you click command-P, select PDF and add Outlook there but there are no options to do this. I am stuck and would like some help. I am using outlook:mac2011 version 14.1.4 and Preview 5.5.1
Cheers

I did not find a way to change the target application for the "New Email with Attchment" service for files and folders. However, you can follow this instruction here to create ANOTHER service, that will use Outlook: http://www.officeformachelp.com/2010/11/create-a-service-to-attach-files-to-a-ne w-outlook-for-mac-mail-message/
