I cant copy a youtube link to my email. i get the address, but no link.
i just switched to firefox. i have not had this problem before. i go to youtube, highlight the link, hit ctrl and c, then go to my email, where i hit ctrl and v, but it wont come up with a hyperlink.
This is the second time I've upgraded from FF 5 to FF 6.02 and both times I lost the ability to make desktop shortcuts by dragging the favicon to the desktop. I need the feature.
Also, I'm sick of getting bugged to upgrade from FF 5 to 6. I'm not upgrading my other computers until this problem is fixed.
I'm on a recent Dell PC with 4GB RAM, 1TB HD with lots of space, fully upgraded Vista Business, no extensions, only common business programs.

Tried that. Unfortunately it did not work.

Get the address behind a link in email
Hey all
I have a problem I can't seem to work out.
One of the email systems that I have to use automatically adds the word "blocked" to any html link in an email. So for example, if you get an email from Expedia with a link to your itinerary that says "Click here for your trip details", it will change the underlying link address from "http://expedia.com/" to "blockedhttp://expedia.com".
To get around this, you have to manually copy the link, and paste it into the browser, then remove the "blocked". Kind of a hassle.
I want to script this process as a Service. I've written Services before, and have experience in AS, but I can't figure out how to do it. Parsing the link and sending to my browser isn't a problem. The problem is that I haven't found a way to get Mail to pass me the value of the LINK instead of the TEXT.
I've even tried using Automator and telling it (as a Service) "Service receives selected URLs in Any Application" - but of course it doesn't recognize "blockedhttp" as a valid URL so it gets ignored.
Mail has the right-click "copy link" function - if I could figure out how to script that, I could grab the link of the clipboard and parse it. Alas, no dice there either.
Anyone have any clever thoughts about how I can extract the link from that href in Mail, or execute the "Copy Link" function?
Message was edited by: stephen.bradleyWell, for anyone in the future who might have a situation like this to solve, here's the solution. At least, the only solution I could come up with, I'm sure a more brilliant programmer would do something different.
There seemed to be no way of grabbing the embedded link from the email text and getting it into a custom Service with a simple right-click. The suggestion to parse the file as raw source was interesting, but it would have meant parsing all of the sometimes several dozen emails I get everyday, looking for the few with links.
So, I went a different way. I wrote a script to handle the "on open location" event, and had it parse out the 'blocked' portion of the link, then fed that cleaned link back to the Finder to open in my default browser.
Save the Applescript as an application so it produced a bundle, then went into the bundle's info.plist file and set it up as the default handler for protocol 'blockedhttp' and 'blockedhttps'. It was added to LaunchServices (which OS X took care of for me). Now clicking a link formatted that way causes my AS app to be called as the handler, it does its simple little dance and passes it on.
Truth is the solution was simple, once I looked at it differently.
Hope that helps someone in the future!
on run
display dialog ¬
"This script applet will respond to webpage links beginning with:"¬
& return & return & ¬
"blockedhttp(s)://" buttons {"OK"} ¬
default button 1 with title "AKO Blockage Handler" with icon 1
tell application "Finder" to update (path to me)
end run
on open location this_url
set theLength to length of this_url
set newURL to (characters 8 through theLength) of this_url as string
tell application "Finder"
open location newURL
end tell
end open location
To make the info.plist file handle my new "protocol" I just added a couple of keys:
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>BlockedURL Helper</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>blockedhttp</string>
<string>blockedhttps</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
The CFBunderURLName is just a friendly name for the protocol, and the URLSchemes defines the protocol identifier.

The above message appears whenever I hit a link to a website. Then the desired page loads and the warning screen goes away.
This is annoying. This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer as my browser, but I prefer to use Firefox. What can I do to get rid of this?This can happen when the registry settings for links have mixed up commands.

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?
I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
/Applications/Aperture.app
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

when I "share a link" (URL) using the pulldown menu in Safari, the email goes to all addresses I indicate, but only Apple computers receive the link. Others such as PCs and Blackberries get the message, but the field which should have the link is blank. Is this normal? Why can I only send to Apple machines?
I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6. -

I have photo stream on and took photos recently and cant find them on my computer. I tried restarting the computer but still nothing. How do I get them on photo stream?
Try the following on your MBP:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated to the new email address on iphone 4
Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
