How to set Safari 5.1.7 to "mail link to this page" to Mail 5.2

I guess that covers my question. I like to share articles with friends.
thanks,
jody

Select 'Customize Toolbar' on the 'View' menu and Drag the 'Mail' icon to your Safari Toolbar.
Clicking the Mail icon opens Apple's Mail and bring up a blank email with the link of your open page in it.
I am not sure if this can be adapted for other email clients.

  • What happened to "Mail Link to This Page" in Safari 6.0 in Mountain Lion?

    I just loaded Mountain Lion onto my MacBook Pro. When I went to use Safari (6.0), I noticed that I can no longer find "Mail Link to This Page" under File. How do i mail a link now?

    Thanks for that, as I hadn't noticed the dropdown in the composition window. However, it also requires you to change the format of the message to Rich Text in order for the page to transmit properly. I'm a journalist, and I use plain text for all my messages (newspapers prefer this), so now I have to select File>Share>Email This Page, then choose Send Web Content As Web Page, then change Message Format to Rich Text, before I get the result I need.
    In the previous OS I just chose "Send Contents of Web Page" or whatever the instruction was, and it was done.
    I'm beginning to understand the true difference between the phrases "unnecessarily complicated" and "simply elegant".
    I appreciate your help, nevertheless.

  • Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
    Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
    Keyboard shortcuts:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
    * [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

  • Safari 'Email/Email Link to this page' launches Mail Again

    If I select Share > Email/Email Link to this page' in Safari, and Mail is already running, rather than just creating a new message, it launches a second instance of Mail (same executable though) and then creates a new message.
    I have already rebuilt Launchservices with Cocktail, to no avail.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Annoying window switch in Mail Using Safari's "Mail Link to This Page..."

    Anyone else have the annoying problem where they use Safari's "Mail Link to This Page", and it opens a New Mail Composer Window, but then opens Mail's main window right over it, forcing you to switch back to the Composer window?
    Only seems to happen when Mail has NOT been running. The main Mail window seems to be programmed to take centre stage when it's opened. Very annoying bug!!

    I have Eudora as my default Mailer in Leopard and don't get that, jfyi.

  • Safari Quasi-Hung - Mail Link to this Page - Power Cycle Required

    Hi! The other day, I was looking at a web page in Safari, hit the "+" icon and chose to "Mail Link to this Page". I chose the person I had in mind from my contact list, but realized that there were a couple others at the same firm that I should also copy. Not seeing a way to search on the company name at that point, I hit the Home button, went into Spotlight, searched for the company name, and found the other people.
    Armed with the names of the others, I went back to Safari, but I was not returned to the point of addressing my message. Instead, I returned to a partially crippled Safari. (from memory now:) I could do the back and forward arrows, but there was no response to taps on "+", Bookmark, or Tabs. Thinking maybe I should be in Mail, I tried going there, but it also showed no sign of the pending message forwarding the link.
    I found no way out of this other than a full power cycle of the phone.
    I have an iPhone 3GS 32Gig.

    Have not seen this problem with more recent iOS releases. Particularly, the ability to cancel an Email and save it as a Draft would seem to render this moot. Thanks for the feature add.

  • Safari suddenly stopped Mail Link to this Page in gmail

    Up until last night safari would open my gmail composer when I hit Mail Link to this Page. I do not use Mail on this computer. It opens correctly on firefox but since the firefox upgrades my laptop runs too hot with it. The new safari was working fabulously until last night.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks'

    HI Connie,
    MIght be some help here in GMail known issues.
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs
    A work around might be to Compose Mail and click the Link icon. It's in between Insert an Emoticon and and Numbered LIst icons. Just drag the link from the Safari Address Bar to the Compost window.

  • How to set Safari asking for download location

    The only reason keeping me from using Safari:
    Not been able set safari to ask for download folder.
    I've used a folder action that moves a file and asks where, but with large files it only does that when download is finised.
    (and I have to select "other" first)
    In my line of work I receive many large files every day, so this is no real solution.
    Please APPLE, make the user experience like it should be.
    Make "ask for downloadfolder" an option in Safari (again)…

    I also have this problem and its extremely frustrating because I enjoy Safari as a browser.
    For example, in Chrome's download settings, you have the folder selection as well as the option to "Ask where to save each file before downloading." In Firefox, you have the automatic folder option, but there's also one that says "Always ask me where to save files". What do I have to do as an Apple customer to get the developers to consider adding in something the other browsers have by default?
    My download folder is segmented into many folders that each have sub-folders, some of which go down several tiers deep. When I download something that doesn't give me the option to Ctrl + Click, it automatically goes into the "Downloads" folder, which means once I'm done downloading my files, I have to sort each download and move it accordingly when the option should have existed in the first place.

  • How to set an application item when report column link is clicked?

    I am trying to set the short name of a bread crumb entry when I drill into a detail from an interactive report page.
    The master report has a column link with target = detail - "page in this application"
    I can pass page items through the URL and they are set on the target page.
    How can I set an application item before the target page is called?
    Is there a way to set a process before the link is followed?

    Kenneth,
    I'm not totally sure that I understood the question but, it soounds like you want to set the value of some page items on the page that is opened when you click a link on a column in the master window. Is this right?
    If so, you can achieve what you want by creating hidden page item(s) on the target page. In the master page, on which every column provides the link, go into Report Attributes, click on the link column and scroll down to the section labeled "Column Link" Within this section, set the link text to the current column value, e.g. #MASTER_REPORT_COLUMN_NAME_HERE#. Set the target to "Page in this Application" and pick the page number for the target window.
    Underneath this you will see a section to set set the value for page items. If you click the flashlight, you can search for the hidden page item that you created above. Use the same value to set it as you did the link text, i.e. #MASTER_REPORT_COLUMN_NAME_HERE#. Do this and let APEX take care of passing the values on the URL.
    On the child page, just set whatever control you want to dynamically pick up the value from the hidden field. For example, if you hidden field where named P4_CLEARER_NAME. You could set the title attribute to "Contact Information for &P4_CLEARER_NAME."
    You need the preceeding "&" and terminating "." around the name of you hidden page item to do this.

  • How do I stop the pop up "An ActiveX control on this page ...?

    I recently installed an accounting program on my computer. In order to access several pages on this program, a message appears on the screen and I must address it before I can get access to my required page on the accounting program. The message is as follows: "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?" How can this be eliminated altogether?

    Firefox doesn't natively run ActiveX controls at all. This capability might be injected into Firefox by a plugin or one of the "IE Tab" add-ons. Can you test the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Safe mode does not automatically disable plugins. If you want to rule out plugins that might be relevant, you can disable them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Does the message go away?

  • How to set up a new apple e-mail address when already have an existing Apple ID

    Hello
    Thank you for taking a look at my query - I have searched many posts but not found a specific answer to my question - so please help!
    My dilemma:
    I am in effect running everything smoothly - I am already on iCloud and have an @me.com mail address.
    The problem arises in that I need to change my name (due to a divorce) and hence my e-mail address -  I would like to use my maiden name for obvious reasons!
    So what have I tried?:
    I have set up a new Apple ID using a 'hotmail' address, as you need an existing address to set an ID, but would actually like a new 'apple' address. How do I do this? Since I have registered all my devices (iMac, iPad 3 and iPhone 3GS) with iCloud already using my married name ID it seems I am unable to get another appleID? Is this true? Is there a way around this?
    Concerns:
    I have many communications with lawyers and ex and various other things I would like to keep on my existing apple ID/mail account (and also itunes etc) I still need to be able to access this information. I am happy to keep this  apple ID active at the same time as having the new ID if this is possible on all the same devices? Currently however I do not know how to do this, i.e. run two mail accounts through iCloud OR ideally transfer my info to the new ID - however from reading around I believe this latter (logical) option may be impossible?
    So:
    ... I need a knight (or maiden) in  shining armour to help me understand my options, answer the Q's above and provide the steps I have to follow to do this as I am no IT guru! And as there are many similar Qs without a clear answer I'm sure you will gain lots of points!
    Thanking you kindly in advance!
    PS. Apple if you are reading this please can you do something about this situation as there seem to be many questions around this issue. Unfortunately divorce and name changes are a frequent part of life these days and it would be good if you can accommodate this!

    OK, so I realised I was still within my 90days of being able to get support from Apple due to recent iPad3 purchase.
    So between what I have gleaned from this forum and what I have learnt from the support call here I hope is a comprehensive one stop shop  answer to the question... "How do I get another Apple e-mail address ?" It's not straight forward but bear with me as you will get a result (also if anyone with IT prowess can offer further advice or clarification please do reply to this so we keep all info in the same place)... right -  we shall begin:
    First a few points to bear in mind/wise words that I wish I was aware of before:
    You preferably do not want more than one Apple ID so that syncing etc is straight forward. SO create an e-mail address that you will be happy to have no matter what, whether you are married/divorced (and yes it unfortunately could happen...) etc...
    So...
    1. First go to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in. Should go straight to your Name, ID and e-mail tab.
    2. OK you are now presented with one of two scenarios....
    a) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address  is a me.com (or mac.com) then you are unlikely to have an edit option next to this line - follow point 3. Another ID has to be generated, and unfortunately (as Winston Churchill above rightly pointed out, the problem that you will have on the whole is that any purchases you make from the iTunes Store under your previous account, will be inaccessible on many of your devices. - IF however all you wanted is a new e-mail address and you are happy to keep running your old ID at the same time - there is a way around this .... read on to point 3)
    b) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is not a me.com (or mac.com) then - follow point 4. This is the better option to have, hop skip and jump with glee as you will in effect have the same ID account and syncing will not be an issue. But note that your new ID will not be editable going forward so head my words of wisdom above.
    NB. If you already have more than one ID and one of the 'Apple ID and primary e-mail' is editable i.e. 2b) then choose this option to change as it is simpiler to manage.
    3. OK lots of steps here and explanations:
    i) You need to create another Apple ID - there are two ways of doing this a) if you go to your iphone or ipad settings > iCloud > delete your account (Don't worry you are effectively only signing out and not deleting) (you'll be given an option what to do with your contacts) > The page will then give you an option to create a new Apple ID.... follow the steps, and you will get a new me.com  AppleID and primary e-mail address.
    b) If you do not have an iphone or ipad - use your computer: Go to sytem preferences > icloud > sign out of account (again you will be given an option to keep contacts on the computer etc. do what is appropriate for you). An iCloud window  should then pop up - and there is an option to 'Create an Apple ID'... follow the steps, in 2nd step (after date of birth input)  go for the free iCloud  option and do not use an existing e-mail address (e.g. hotmail or gmail)... as it then gets more complicated (I did go down this route as I didn't know any better - so I can explain if you wish to know - just ask) - continue with the steps and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
    ii) Now assuming you have an itunes account and other devices... and you will want to sync everything across devices... then ensure you log back into your OLD account and use this as your main  account on all devices. This will keep all things synced between devices with no problems.
    iii) To get your new e-mail account active go to all your devices and computer and just add the new me.com address as another account:
    a) on iphone and ipad: settings > mail, contacts, calendars > "add account"
    b) on computer assuming you use mail: Mail>preferences>account information> hit the '+' under the left hand account box and fill in the details... You will then effectively have two mail boxes running in mail - your previous and new one. What I have noticed is that you can drag and drop (which will copy) mailboxes you created in your old account into your new account - which is great as you can keep the stored messages to hand and effectively you can taper down use of the old account (or use as you wish) over time and eventually not notice the old account is in the background.
    Hey presto you have a new e-mail address AND your devices are syncing itunes, photostream etc...
    4) So - much better option....
    i) create a new Apple ID as per point 3i) above.
    ii) go back to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in with old ID. Under Apple ID and primary e-mail adress - click edit and now insert your new me.com Apple ID. This will now be both your ID and primary e-mail address. This is where my knowledge (gleaned from this Forum) stops on this option - as unfortunately it did not apply to me. But I think it will get you where you want!
    Hope all this info helps rather than hinders!! It definitely would have helped me
    Enjoy.
