Mail - why does it use Firefox rather than the default, Safari?

Hi,
I have both Safari and Firefox on this iMac that's running 10.6.8.  Safari is my default browser.
Within Mail Preferences, the Default RSS Reader is set up to use Safari.  However,  Mail always links to Firefox.  Why is this and how do I change it?
Thank you,
reluctantuser

Nevermind, I've figured it out!
Thanks,

    Depending on exactly what you want to do, there are a couple of ways of handling this. You may want to access teh user guide for some ideas: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    In particular, check the sections on Customizing iPad and Settings > Restrictions.

  • .zip icon is blank white rather than the default Tiger .zip icon.

    Recently I removed StuffIt from my Mac and now when I have a .zip file sitting on my desktop it has a generic white icon rather than the default .zip icon (which I seem to remember was white with a zip through the middle).
    I was wondering if there is way of getting .zip files associated with that icon once more. I realise this is a pretty minor issue, but I'd like to be able to fix this.
    After searching the discussion pages I came across this page - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=733697&#733697 and a user linked the poster to a page that had a terminal command to fix this issue - unfortunately the link is now dead.
    Many thanks for any help you may have.

    Hi, d.

  • Can I use thumbnails rather than the {sitename} to load different galleries?

    Hi all-
    I'm new to Spry and all things Javascripting but I'm attempting to construct a image gallery using Spry in Dreamweaver CS3. I've used the "Original Photo Gallery" from the Spry Demo folder as a jumping off point and everything works correctly.
    I would like to know if it is possible to use representative thumbnails rather than the select dropdown to launch the different galleries? I'm sure it is, but I'm a total neophyte and have no idea what to do. I'd like to set up a AP Div with 9 thumbnails in a table that would each launch a different gallery. How do I do that?

    Hello, because you're SELECTing tournament.tourtype in the SELECT list, the answer is not really. If you didn't need t.tourtype in the SELECT list, you could have:
    select m.memberid, m.lastname, m.firstname
    from member m
    where exists (select 1
            from entry e inner join tournament t on (e.tourid=t.tourid)
            where m.memberid=e.memberid
                and upper(t.tourtype)='OPEN');And you know the t.tourtype is 'OPEN' anyway, so you don't need to SELECT it. So you could have this, and the answer is yes:
    select m.memberid, m.lastname, m.firstname, 'OPEN' tourtype
    from member m
    where exists (select 1
            from entry e inner join tournament t on (e.tourid=t.tourid)
            where m.memberid=e.memberid
                and upper(t.tourtype)='OPEN');Edited by: SeánMacGC on May 7, 2009 2:09 AM

  • Why should i use JSF rather than Struts?

    What makes JSF useful than Struts? In my project I am using like
    <h:commandButton action="#{loginbean.execute}" actionListener="#{loginbean.handleEvent}" ..../>
    In the above commandButton as you can see that i am not exposing the beanName. However i am exposing the beanMethod which are execute and handleEvent. Is there any other way to hide the name of the method because
    From what i understand is Presentation Layer should be shielded from whatever is going on in the backend. So, this doesn't do good right?
    Please suggest.
    How does Component and Renderers help. I am using encodeEnd() method in Renderer to render what the input or the output should look like. Do we need to switch to JSF from Struts just because of this... I don't see how and why components and renderers could help me..

You can rename your method to reflect what you want to see in the front end if you want. You can use JSFTemplating to use handlers which can be mapped to any name you want to see and do not have to match the method name of the java class (although I suspect this is the opposite direction from what you are suggesting you want).
    EL in jsf (i.e. #{bean.login}) is meant to do the mapping in JSF pages rather than externalize this in a separate file and force the page developer to edit multiple files for simple tasks. Although in some cases navigation is broken out into a separate file (i.e. faces-config.xml file using the default NavigationHandler navigation rules), this can also be done inline. It's a different way of doing development and has its pros and cons (easier, but mixes up presentation and controller somewhat). That said... JSF is very flexible, it CAN externalize any of this information, it just requires you to provide a different ViewHandler information that allows you to enter the data the way you like to see it (imo, you won't realize any benefit from the separation, though -- I used to think it was worth doing but have changed my opinion).
    So, this doesn't do good right?Perhaps in theory... but in practice, I don't think it really has a drawback. One caveat, I like how I implemented event handling in JSFTemplating as opposed to action/actionListener attributes which are not configurable and are more opaque than I prefer. My parameterized handlers allow for better code-reuse, but arguably mix up presentation and controller code even more (depending on how they're used).
    Please suggest.
    How does Component and Renderers help. I am using encodeEnd() method in Renderer to render what the input or the output should look like. Do we need to switch to JSF from Struts just because of this... I don't see how and why components and renderers could help me..The idea of a component helps tremendously as someone else can create a component for you and you can benefit from it. There are many great component sets available on the market (for free and for purchase). For example: Woodstock (which has drag/drop support inside NetBeans), RichFaces, IceFaces, Tomahawk, Scales, etc.
    Renderers allow you to cleanly separate the presentation of a component with the data of the component. You can then switch out the presentation to support multiple markups (i.e. client devices). In addition, JSF's rich lifecycle provide logical places for certain types of operations to occur, the renderers participate in this so that they are performing their tasks at a well defined time. And finally, many different components may re-use the same renderer, or a single component may use one of several renderers. The separation of data and display (model and view) makes this very clean.
    JSF is not Struts. If you expect it to be struts, you may be disappointed (or if you expect struts to be JSF, you'll be disappointed). JSF has a lot to offer (as does struts), you have to decide what is important to you and your organization. Some things to consider wrt to JSF: very strong vendor support; many large set of components to choose from; multiple standards-based tools to choose from; very flexible (most parts of the framework are pluggable); active growing development community; component-based model which encapsulates complexity for things like Ajax, pagination, and other things (often complicated in a non-component architecture); good integration with other frameworks.
    I don't know if this makes your decision any easier, but hopefully it helps clarify how you should be viewing JSF & Struts.
    Good luck!

  • Can the Hotspot be set to require a double-click rather than the default single click in a quiz?

    I'm using Captivate 7 for Windows.

    I was talking about 'custom question slides', not about the default question slides. Here is an old example, with the Shape buttons now available it would have been a lot better and easier:

  • List Template Always Defaluts to 'Current View' Rather than the Defaulted ' All Tasks' Veiw

    I have created a task list template.  I have selected all of columns and deleted all others.  I have created only one view clled 'All Tasks' and set it to my defult, in addition I have deleted all of the other views.  However, when I instert
    the task template on another page or when it's used as part of a site template it reverts back to 'Current View' and shows a bunch of columns that I deleted.  I am forced to change the view everytime I insert it on to a page.  Under the List Settings
    I don't even see anything called 'Current View'.
    How do I avoid this default?

    Hi KHDMS,
    According to your description, I did a test in my SharePoint 2010 as the followings:
    1. Create a task list named ‘Task template’, create a custom view named ‘View1’ different from All tasks view, and set the view as the default view
    2. Add some items into the tasks list
    3. Delete other views except the view1
    4. Create a page,  add the tasks ‘Task template’ into the page
    5. Then the web part displayed like All Tasks view in the tasks list
    6.  Create another tasks list ‘Tasks2’, create a custom view named ‘View1’ diferent from All Tasks view, and set the view as the default view
    7. Reproduce the step 4, then the result is same with the above test.
    8. Then I tried to set the system view like ‘My task’ as the default view, then reproduced the step 4
    9. The web part displayed as My Task view.
    For this issue, it seems to be happened on the custom view, if you want to display the custom view for the tasks web part on a page, you can do as Edit Web Part-> selecting the custom view under Selected View.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Why when I use any chess app that can send PGN files to an e-mail, why does my iPhone can't send the PGN attachement file?

    I downloaded the app "Chess score pad". It was supposed to send an email with a PGN attachement to me, but it didn't worked. it only sends the text but not the attachement. I can send other type of files like photos, audio and videos. Why can't I send PGN files? Help please!
    I have already contacted the creator and we have already proved that the problem is with my iPhone only. What can I do? (The app works with other iPhones and iPads.)

    Chrisj4203, thank you for your kind answer.
    I have done a lot of restores to the Iphone, and resets also.
    I;ve done holding both buttons as you sugested, but there is no signal appearing.
    I am in Uruguay, South America and the original company is Movistar ( Telefonica) and the new sim card is from ANTEL ( the officail and biggest company in my country).
    I don;t knoe what todo.
    I have been trying for more than one mont.
    I have gone several times to both companies. Aldo two times to Apple uruguay, and nobody can help me.

  • Why does iTunes use 100% CPU all the time, hogging my Macbook Air?

    Decided to post this here instead of the iTunes forum, since it might be related to hardware too.
    New owner of a 2011 13" Macbook Air, core i5 based.
    My problem started about 1 week ago, after it had run out of power completely one day. At the first boot after that it was incredibly sluggish, totally unusable. After waiting for 5 minutes and still being unresponsive, I turned it off and then back on. Then it booted fine. HOWEVER, ever since that time I noticed the following behavior:
    - iTunes stays at 100% + CPU all the time, mostly between 100-120%. Even if it's not playing. Even when I deleted the entire library and left it empty.
    - iStats reports CPU idle between 50-65%. However, CPU temperature is still about 55 degrees C (which, I think, is far less than what it should have been with 50% idle cpu). I can confirm the low temperature by touching the chasis.
    - the cursor freezes and jumps every few seconds, making the mac kind of unusable with iTunes open.
    This has been going on for 2 weeks now. The problem goes away every now and then (iTunes sometimes goes back to regular CPU usage of 3-5%), but most of the time it's there.
    Help!
    P.S.
    Mac OX X 10.7.2
    iTunes 10.5.2

    Cee Pee You, is a OS modification. Apple recommends that you un-install these prior to a OS update because Apple makes changes to the OS all the time which breaks programs like these.
    I avoid Unsanity LLC products like the plague. Notice the company is a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), which makes it difficult to sue the company in case of a defective or malicious product. So the risk using their products is all yours. Their APE framework modules have been used for malicious purposes because anyone can write a module that uses the APE framework.
    I also avoid installing anything that requires a administrative password unless I completely trust the source, like Apple mostly. That admin password is the key to the security of our machines, not to be given out lightly or carelessly.
    You'll have to contact Unsanity's [email protected] because what I'm reading online is it's very difficult to remove as it doesn't "exist".

  • HT1277 when i delete emails from apple mail why does it not delete them from the account??

    Why doesn't it delete them from both??

    Keeping mail in sync is a function of what type of mail account you have. Sounds like you have an IMAP or Exchange account, & that's the way things are designed to work. Why don't you just create another folder on the server & move these emails to that folder. That way, they'll be out of your inbox, but still available on your laptop.

  • Why does blast internet cost more than the tv/internet

    This is absolutely ridiculous.  I am paying twice as much for twice as less.  I don't have other choices of ISPs in my areas otherwise I'd leave immediately.  I have had constant disconnections with Xfinity several service calls and no resolution.  This is one of the worst ISPs I have ever had to deal with and they have the balls to charge a ridiculous price where as in other parts of the world they pay 15$ for 10x the speed I have.

    I have never received a private message from you.  Today is 8/11/15 and I am still having connectivity issues.  Three technicians were sent to my home none resolved the issues.  You people have failed the Comcast Guarantee and I have not received the 40$ that's part of that guarantee.  I visited the service center near me because I have not received any help from any of your communication methods.  When I went there I was rudely greeted by Gina who told me the service center only provides modems and refused to talk to me.  The situation was so surreal the manager had to stop helping his customer to assist me and make an appointment with a 4th technician.  I have also been promised callbacks from supervisors and never received them.  Throughout this time you people have lied to me constantly and made it extremely inconvenient and time consuming to even attempt to resolve my issue.  I have never been treated so horribly as a customer in my entire life.  I even filed a report with the FCC but your Executive Relations person Christina M. had the ticket closed even though I still am having connectivity issues.  Two of the technicians gave me their # and email yet I cannot send any email to them because comcast servers refuse to complete the request and none of the phone # work. 

  • Why does Firefox 5 open external (internet, SMTP) e-mail in the browser rather than the Lotus Notes Client?

    Using Lotus Notes as the system's primary mail client, '''some''' users experience external mail being opened in the browser rather than the the client. When they revert back to using an older version as the OS default browser, or indeed a different browser altogether, this does not happen.
    Again, this does not happen with all installations of 5.0 - just a few.

    go to "preferences" in Lotus Notes and enable "disable embodded browser for MIME mail" and it shoudn't open the browser anymore
