Hyperlinks in Mail opening Explorer, not Safari HELP

A week ago, Mail started opening Internet Explorer when I clicked on hyperlink within an email. Prior to this, it was opening Safari, which is what I wanted. I've looked everywhere I can think of in the OS and application to see if I can find a way to switch it back, but I can't find it. Another highly anoying Microsoft trick. Please let me know if you know how to get hyperlinks to open with Safari.
Thanks,
Ross

No problem. Glad I could help. Most likely, the first time you used IE a dialog box poped up that asked to set IE as your default browser. I know the PCs I use at school ask every time you open IE, no matter what your response is.

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!! :(

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

When in mail, opening it in Safari, it locks up. Why is this happening

When in mail, opening it up in Safari,, it locks up. Why is this happening? The only way to unlock is to go to Settings>mail> load remote images and turn off. Then turn off wi-fi and turn it back on. Then go to mail and it is back to normal. Why would this be locking up. RDH

If this is happening in Safari like you say, this might help as well.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Links in an E-mail opens up in Safari

I use Netscape as my preferred browser though I use mail as the e-mail client.
When I receive any mail and click a link within the mail, the link opens up in Safari. I would prefer that this link opens up in Netscape by default. Am unable to figure out how to do this.
Similarly, when I click an e-mail link while browsing through netscape, the e-mail link opens up in netscape mail.. though I want it to open on Mail. Can someone please help me to do this.

Hi.
To set up Netscape as your default browser, open Safari/Preferences/General, and in the Default Web Browser drop-down menu, select Netscape.
To set Mail as your default e-mail application, open Mail/Preferences/General, select Default Email Reader: Mail.
Good Luck.

I want links (ie in an email) to open Firefox, not Safari

The debug output doesn't show an obvious problem. You're
going to have to actually debug your program. A debugger
might be helpful.

Disabling hyperlinks in Mail

I have set up managed accounts for the kids in which I would like them to have e-mail access but not Safari or IE access. Although the applications priveledges works, there is a loop hole. If somebody sends a hyperlink in an e-mail, the browser will open even though it is not allowed for that account. Once the browser is open, the user can navigate to any other site. Is there any way I can close this hole by either not linking to a browser or rejecting e-mails that have a hyperlink?

Try to log onto your mail account via the browser. I cannot make any sense out of what your provider stated. Should you have login problems via the browser, chances are they have changed your password and not passed on the information. Try calling your provider again and request a new password. You can apply the new password in the account preference within mail.
Csound1 is right about mail not having password protection. Its security, is the security provided by SL. The only reason for passwords in mail is for connection to another system. If this is truly the response they gave you, it was a nice "song and dance". Disabling your password would absolutely deny you access to your mail, so how could you download your mail if you cannot get access to your account? Call back up and hopefully you will get someone who has knowledge.

Why won't mail open when click on icon?

why won't my mail open when I click on icon but other users can open theirs?

Howdy lpedvm23,
If Safari is not opening any window when you click the icon, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
If Safari can’t open a window - Safari Help
If you can’t open Safari or a new Safari window, try these suggestions.
Use the latest version of Safari and OS X. To check for a Safari update, choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. For more information, see Keep your Mac up to date.
Check your startup disk using Disk Utility.
If the other suggestions don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I need to run web based Microsoft CRM. I open it in Safari but the program does not respond. I suppose it has to do with Flash or ActiveX. Can someone help?

What does the product developer say about system requirements? If it needs to be run from within Internet Explorer then you'll need to find a way to run Internet Explorer. Boot Camp or VM installation of Windows would be two options.
But first check the product requirements.

Restart the machine in Safe Mode and attempt to open each app. Also please explain exactly how you are attempting to open the apps. For example, "When I click the Safari icon on the Dock it bounces but does not open." To start in Safe Mode hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone unitl a progress bar appears.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's a different problem ... ?

Opening a search service via Mail with Chrome and not Safari

Hello all,
Is there an option to open a search service via Mail with my default browser (Chrome) instead of Safari. This works while searching from the browser itself but not the Mail app, have not experimented with other os x apps.

Then check the Mail preferences for a default broswer entry and change that to Chrome. Not sure if it is in there as I stopped using Mail several years ago.
To completely get rid of this problem stop using Mac Mail.app and switch to some other mail program that actually works correctly.

TS3276 Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

Try restarting your Mac.
Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.
