How to tell SAFARI to select especific mail service

Does any one know, how to tell SAFARI to use for example, YAHOO web mail serivice instead of MAC MAIL, when selecting the option MAIL LINK TO THIS PAGE.
Tks in advanced from México

Ralphjh,
An Automator workflow can save the page in a web archive format:
First download the Save Safari Web Archive workflow.
I would add two additional actions at the beginning of the workflow, each from Automator's Safari library, so that your final workflow would look like this:
1) *Get Specified URLs* -- Deselect or use the minus sign to remove the default www.apple.com address. Open your puzzle page in Safari, make it frontmost, and click on the Current Safari Page button.
2) *Display Webpages*
3) *Run AppleScript* -- No need to modify the existing script.
4) *Get Selected Finder Items*
5) *Move Finder Items* -- The desktop is default.
Save the Workflow as File Format: application, and add it to your Login Items.
It all may be for naught however. I suspect that upon your return from vacation, you'll be disappointed to find that opening any one of the saved files will only result in opening the current day's puzzle. For example, on Tuesday April 29th, the puzzle linked from the URL you posted opened the puzzle for +that day,+ Puzzle Number 760. A quick look at the 30 Day Killer archive (scroll down the page) reveals that each day's puzzle has its own URL. The actual URL for Puzzle Number 760 is:
http://www.sudoku.org.uk/DailyKiller.asp?day=29/04/2008
You'll notice that the URLs for the individual days' puzzles in the Killer Archive differ only in the dates appended to them. You would likely need to find a way to incorporate that pattern into an AppleScript -- correlating the current date to the updated URL.

  • How can i tell how many emails i have selected in Mail?

    Seems like a simple thing, something i use all the time in outlook. How can I tell how many emails I have selected/highlighted?
    Or for that matter, how many emails are in a folder?

    There is only one model of AirPort card for the Mac pro ( it is draft 802.11n compatible ). Some other intel Mac's may or may not have had the 802.11n enabler update applied. The enabler is/was a $1.99 download from Apple, so priced as the FTC deemed that it "added" features rather than revised existing firmware.

  • How to tell Safari to open and save a web page

    While on vacation, I would like to save a daily puzzle that occurs on a web site that uses the same URL for each new puzzle. Using the Energy Saver Preference panel, I can schedule a daily start up and shut down and add Safari to the Login Items. How would I tell Safari to open that URL and then save the web page to the Desktop?

  • How to tell Safari to save as a Web Archive

    The default "Save" when using a script is to save as "Page Source." How would one write a script to Save as "Web Archive."

    01. In 'Safari' - manually, select the 'File, Save As...' menu item. A drop down sheet will appear.
    02. Select the 'Format:' Web Archive' menu item.
    03. Click on the 'Save' button.
    04. Locate the just saved web page, trash it, and empty the trash.
    You have now set 'Safari' to save all future 'Save As...'es in the 'Web Archive' format.
    05. Use the code (which is supplied with no error trapping) below.
    -- Code starts here --
    property tURL : "http://www.badcopnews.com/"
    tell application "Safari"
    activate
    make new document at end of documents
    set URL of document 1 to tURL
    get document 1
    end tell
    delay 3
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
    keystroke "s" using command down -- 'Command S' - 'Save As...'
    delay 1 -- Pause for 1 second.
    keystroke "d" using command down -- 'Command D' - Go to 'Desktop'.
    delay 1 -- Pause for 1 second.
    keystroke "c" using command down -- 'Command C' - Go copy highlighted text.
    set the clipboard to ((do shell script ("date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S")) & (the clipboard))
    keystroke "v" using command down -- 'Command V' - 'Paste'.
    delay 1 -- Pause for 1 second.
    click button "Save" of sheet 1 of window 1 -- Click on 'Save' button.
    end tell
    -- Code ends here --

  • How to tell Safari .csv is legitimate extension?

    One of our users has to download tons of .CSV files each day, and prior to our upgrade to Tiger, she had no trouble.
    But now, every time she goes to download a .CSV file, Safari adds a .txt to the end of the file name. Then she has to manually remove the .txt, and even then Safari complains
    "The name filename.csv appears to have an extension. Do you want to append .txt anyway?" and she has to click on "Don't Append".
    When she has to do this several hundred times in a day, it gets old very quickly. How do we tell Safari that .csv is a legitimate extension and that it doesn't need to add .txt to it?
    Thanks

    Jim,
    Two observations:
    1. Firefox downloads .csv files just fine.
    2. When changing the extension, it's not Safari complaining. it's the Finder, right? If you have a bunch of files it's easy to change using a WYSIWYG app like A Better Finder Rename.

  • How may I automatically stop and start Mail services at a set time please

    Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to automatically stop and start Mail services (or any other services) at a set time please in Leopard Server? Is there a script someone has created which might help?
    Cheers, David ( a realy newbie when it comes to administering OS X server)

    launchd works through a series of XML documents that define tasks to run, either at launch, on a time schedule, in response to network events, etc.
    So you'll need to create two .plists - one to start the mail server and one to stop it. They should be saved in /Library/LaunchDaemons. I'd suggest something like:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop.plist:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
    .com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
      <key>Label</key>
      <string>local.postfix.stop</string>
      <key>ProgramArguments</key>
      <array>
        <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
        <string>stop</string>
        <string>mail</string>
      </array>
      <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
      <dict>
        <key>Hour</key>
        <integer>1</integer>
        <key>Minute</key>
        <integer>00</integer>
      </dict>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    and /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.start.plist:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
    .com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
      <key>Label</key>
      <string>local.postfix.start</string>
      <key>ProgramArguments</key>
      <array>
        <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
        <string>start</string>
        <string>mail</string>
      </array>
      <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
      <dict>
        <key>Hour</key>
        <integer>4</integer>
        <key>Minute</key>
        <integer>00</integer>
      </dict>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    You'll need to either use launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop (or start) to load the tasks, or reboot your server.
    I'm curious, though, as to why you want to do this. Mail is typically one of the services that people want to run 24/7 so they don't miss out on any emails (even though SMTP can tolerate this). Why do you want to shut yours down?

  • How to tell Safari to Save As...

    I have the following as which uses URL Access Scripting to download a webpage.
    set the target_URL to "http://jott.com/notes.aspx?page=243"
    set the destination_file to "Macintosh HD:Users:jeffrey:Downloads:jotts:" & "243.html"
    tell application "URL Access Scripting"
    download target_URL to file destination_file replacing no
    end tell
    But unfortunately, this doesn't work with the particular pages I'm using, because the url assumes you're already logged in.
    So what I need is essentially the same thing, but done with safari while already logged in.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Maybe you might try this:
    --BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
    open location "https://jott.com/login.aspx"
    tell application "Safari"
    repeat until (text of front document contains "All Rights Reserved.")
    -- just wait until the page is completely loaded
    end repeat
    delay 1 -- wait a little longer
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "0123456789" & tab -- your 10 digit phone number
    keystroke "Jeffrey Ellis" -- your password
    delay 1 -- for visual feedback
    keystroke return
    delay 1 -- -- adjust if necessary
    keystroke "l" using {command down}
    keystroke "http://jott.com/notes.aspx?page=243" & return
    delay 3 -- adjust if necessary
    tell process "Safari"
    click menu item "Save As…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
    repeat until sheet 1 of window 1 exists
    end repeat
    keystroke "243.html"
    keystroke "d" using {shift down, command down} -- save to dekstop
    tell sheet 1 of window 1
    click pop up button 1 of group 1
    click menu item "Web archive" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of group 1 -- or "Page Source" if you prefer
    click button "Save"
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
    set theTargetFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:jeffrey:Downloads:jotts:"
    set thePath to (path to desktop as string) & "243.html"
    repeat until document file thePath exists
    end repeat
    move document file thePath to theTargetFolder without replacing
    end tell
    --END OF SCRIPT
    Btw, I'm pretty sure there exists a one-line UNIX solution to your problem.

  • ChoiceGroup and TextField on same Form -- how to tell which is selected?

    Hi everyone. I have a form with a ChoiceGroup and a TextField. I have 6 pre-defined entries in the ChoiceGroup, and I'd like for the user to be able to either select an entry or enter their own in the TextField. If I have a single command 'Go', is it possible to determine which of the two was selected by the user last?

    Okay, I've solved this.
    For anyone else who may run in to this, look at using ItemStateListener and use it to catch changes to the ChangeGroup or the TextField.

  • How to tell buttons to select with ENTER (not only buth SPACE)?

    The standard behaviour of the Java Swing components are different than the standard Windows behaviour. In Windows, a button is selected if you press ENTER/Return. In Java Swing, this doesn't work - you have to press SPACE. Is there a general setting in Swing to change this behaviour for all buttons (also in dialogs)?

    Well, i found the basic reason: i use Swing default Look&Feel (Metal). If i use Windows Look&Feel, this button selektion behaviour changes => ENTER in Windows Look&Feel is SPACE in Metal Look&Feel (for button selections).

  • How can I automatically forward incoming e-mails in my mailbox?

    I would like to forward my incoming mails to my other e-mail address. How can I arrange this?

    Some mail services include this feature in their settings, such as Gmail. However, in some other cases, you might need a program to check your mail and forward it, which means trusting a program or server with your login.

  • How to make email client account setup automatically select inbound mail and smtp server.

    I have the mail service successfully running on OS X Server 10.8.2.  I am able to send and receive email as well as setup email accounts on various email clients (iphone, ipad, mac, etc).  I notice that when I set up a new account that I have to specify both the inbound and smtp mail servers as well as specifying the user id for each.  I am using an SSL certificate that appears to be working.  The ports are selected (993/995 and 587) automatically and the default is to use SSL.
    However, when I set up a Comcast account - (configured as "other") - I only have to enter Full name, email address and password - and from this it is able to determine that the incoming mail server is "mail.comcast.net" and outgoing smtp server is "smtp.comcast.net".  It also fills in the userid and password for both inbound and smtp servers - as well as the ports.  I have been trying to get this to work automatically when setting up accounts for my mail server - but have not been able to figure out how to do this - or if it is possible.
    In googling - I have found that I can set up several different SRV records such as (_submission._tcp, _imap._tcp, _imaps._tcp, _pop3._tcp, _pop3s._tcp) and these are supposed to provide this functionality to email clients that are able to use the SRV records.  I have set these up externally at my registered domain provider - and I am able to query them via nslookup, dig and host.
    Is Comcast using some other special method of providing the server names to the mail client setup - or am I doing something wrong - or is this a functionality that needs to be supported on the mail server side as well.  I am relatively new to mail servers and trying to work my way through the learning process.

    Understand the functionality you are wanting, basically one can use Outlook / Exchange mail server as an example. It just happens.
    As I understand in the background the DNS _SRV records point to a machine which serves up an XML file and that is the information which tells the client how to configure itself.
    I did some research before posting my first reply and found that, in the Apple client situation, even when someone setup the the SRV records + the XML it didn't work seamlessly.

    If you were going to persue it you will need to find out the format for the autodiscovery XML file. Also the XML file will have to be hosted on your server, you couldn't likely put it on the public DNS server.

  • How do I tell Safari to play a live stream always in QuickTime?

    I like to watch a television station from Eastern Europe that streams live on the internet. When I click on the link, the content plays in Windows Media Player. Recently, purely by fluke, it opened in QuickTime and I really preferred this version. Unfortunately I have been unable to repeat this fluke. There is nothing in Safari, QuickTime, or WMP preferences relevant to this issue. I have inputted the link's URL where QuickTime prompts me, but it does nothing.
    Is there a way I can tell Safari to open the link in QuickTime whenever I select the link?
    (Both my Safari and QuickTime use the latest versions.)

    If the content is playing in Windows Media Player, you will be better off installing Flip4Mac which will allow a Quicktime window to open. Microsoft no longer supports WMP for Macs and recommends all Mac users to use Flip4Mac. This software can be found on Versiontracker and Macupdate as well as the manufactures website for download.

  • How to tell if multiple files are selected when they are opened in windows

    Hello, can someone help me, my question is how to tell if multiple file selections were made when they were opened (right-click->open). Through modifying the registry I already have my Java program start up when a file with specific extension is double-clicked.
    The problem is when multiple files are opened at the same time, an instance of java program is created and run for each of the selected files. Ideally I would like it so that only one instance of java program is run, regardless of the number of selections.
    When you try it with Microsoft media player or winamp for example, it seems that only one process is created and run (I don't see many processes spawning when I watch it using task manager). Maybe this is more of Windows issue rather than Java programming issue. Any help is appreciated.

    If anybody wants to know, this can be solved by either 1) using DDE 2) using DropTarget (from Windows) 3) make a light-weight EXE dispatcher (eg. in C), and use file to have IPC between the dispatcher (which gets the filepath for each of the selections) and the java program. There can be other methods of course. Using the second option is the simplest but it requires WinXP and higher. I implemented it using option 3.. the downside of this is there's a warning message pop up when trying to open many (>20?) files at the same time by Windows. However, option 1 'seems' to have the same limitation. Having a java program created each time for each of the selections seems to be too slow, for viable option.
