Mailing a webpage - mistake in Safari Help

I don't know if anyone else has seen this. I was going to mail a webpage to a friend of mine today, but couldn't remember how to do it. I clicked on Safari Help, typed in "mail a webpage", & got this answer:
Choose Edit > Mail Contents of This Page, or Edit > Mail Link to This Page.
The command is actually under the File menu, that is it should say "Choose File > Mail Contents of This Page, or Edit > Mail Link to This Page".
The question here is, has anyone else noticed this?

William,
I noticed it when you pointed it out, but without your observation, would never have known that the difference exists, because I found the Mail feature without the Help documentation.
Some would call that a "Bug," but I just call it an error in documentation.
Perhaps Apple Feedback would be appropriate.

Default Mail Font ignored when using "Mail this webpage" in Safari

This is not really a problem but more of a puzzling irritant. I often use the "Mail this webpage" option in Safari (the small envelope icon in the tool bar) which opens a draft email with the then-current webpage's URL already embedded in the text area. Prior to Mavericks when using this option the draft note triggered by Safari reverted to my default Mail font already selected via Mail's preferences pane. Just as I would want it. Ever since Mavericks though, when I click the envelope icon it brings up the draft email with the URL as before, but the text font for that note defaults to Times, not my previously-selected default Mail font (Lucinde Grande just for clarity). So to stay consistent with my other email styling I have to manually click the draft email's Format button, select Lucinde Grande, and then begin typing. I can find no place in either Safari's or Mail's preferences or options where I can change the default "send an email triggered in Safari" font. Emails originated in Mail properly use the default Lucinde Grande font.
Once I go through the above and send the note, if I later repeat the same "mail via Safari" acion, the new note is again defulting to Times and I have to go through all of the above again.
A companion oddity is that when I go through this and click the Format button once, nothing happens. I click it a second time and then the font selection options are presented. This happens consistently on 3 separate installs of Mavericks in our house (two iMacs and a MBP), and it has been this way from OS 10.9.0 through the updates to the current 10.9.2. Any ideas, or anyone else experiencing this? Thanks.

This is very annoying behavior.
I have a sudo work-around, although it's really just a different set of steps. If you use the new Share button (square with arrow icon) than the resulting email consists of a url at the top and text from the page below that. The first line of the email (empty) and the url are in the default mail font. Now just delete the text that was added from the page.
I use this method because it seems like if I do it the other way the new message will sometimes go back to Times when I hit Return a couple times.

Since upgrading to Yosemite on my iMac, My Mail app refuses to open, Safari won't load, and I can't upload pictures from my iPad... Please help, any ideas very welcome. I've had my iMac since 2011, and have never had any issues to deal with before..

My wifi diagnostic says I am connected, but I cannot connect to the internet (safari), iCloud Mail, or any other sites. Help?

Power cycle (turn off and on) the router. In System Preferences -> Network, under WiFi does it say Self-Assigned IP Address? Click where it says location in the network's pane of WiFi, click edit location, click the plus icon and type 'test' and press done, then press apply on the next window. Click advanced then in the preferred networks tab, make sure your wifi network is at the top of the list, if it's not then drag it to the top, on the TCP/IP tab, click renew DHCP lease, on the DNS tab, click the plus icon at the bottom left, add two new dns servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, press OK, then press APPLY on the next window. restart the mac and see if it's fixed.

I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

Hello AndrewsAFCx,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
All the best,
Sterling

I try to log into my Apple ID and it says that it has sent a E-Mail to my Apple ID to vertify that it is me, I understand that but what I don't get is that I can't get onto my account to click open the E-Mail to vertify myself. Any Help?

This is on the Apple ID manage and create page, this has happened to three of my accounts and I seem to get to the same exact spot and it just contradicts itself and won't let me log on at all. I have hooked up two E-mail accounts to the Apple Account and Vertified the accounts through the E-Mails sent to the external E-Mails but it still doesn't let me get into my Apple E-Mail at all.

I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
This is just stupid now.

Where has Safari help gone?

I recently had problems with getting help viewer to display help on a number of applications. This was cured after I was pointed at a very helpful web site and deleted various preference files and caches. So although that fixed virtually all the problems I still get nothing when I select Safari help.
Any ideas?

Help is not an application. I just searched for "help" and several of the relevant posts came up on the first page.
This is what Discussions Help says:
"Visit Apple Discussions and navigate to the appropriate hardware or software product forum for which you have an issue or question.
Search or browse the current discussions and FAQs. It's possible that your question or issue has already been answered by other members.
If you don't find answers to your issue, click the Post New Topic link within a forum to post your own question to the Apple Discussions community."

I bought ilife 11 but cant update it. Is there any e-mail address which can i get help about ilife 11

i bought ilife 11 but cant update it. Is there any e-mail address which can i get help about ilife 11?
i bought it from Turkey website. apple.com.tr and i paid the price bu i cant update it and there are nothing i can do? i called the turkey's apple but they said i should mail this to apple.com. So, i didnt find any e-mail support address for ilife 11.
what should i do? apple support center is really bad for unplanned situations.

Apple doesn't have an e-mail address. Unfortunately you'll have to resort to snail mail, for anything that can't be answered by phone or the website.
iLife '11 has had no updates issued so far:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#ilife
If it should ever get an update, it would likely be at that link.

There are 6 updates to be made with my system and they start but after downloading and rebooting it always says that non could be installt because of an mistake, but no help, no number, no possibility to chose from...

Do you get an error number? What is the exact message?
Two things to try.
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store.
If that doesn't work, try an App Store reset and then try again.

I even fresh install the system and every time I do repair the permission I always end up with this even though it said repaired.
I figure this is the problem my laptop, sometime it wont save files or documents and it goes in limbo and had to force shutdown and have to restart on the
booth drive to have it permission repair. I just updated to 10.9.3 and will see if this stop the crashing but repair permission notice is still the same.
Any feedback please....Thanks

Hello,
In Mail>Preferences>General, is Mail set as the Default Mail App? Is it your current version of Mail set?

Why does Firefox Help open Safari Help??

Am trying to remove a certificate from history. Looked into the Help from the header bar and the Help menu is named Safari Help, not one topic mentions Firefox. All I can think is WTF? It simply makes no sense to be using a Safari Help menu in a Firefox browser.
The Preferences menu for certificates has a delete/mistrust button that does not seem to do anything. By tapping on the arm of my chair I get the same results as tapping on that button.

You can access the Certificate Manager here:
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Certificates/Encryption: View Certificates
You can remove the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to remove all intermediate certificates.<br />
You can only distrust built-in root certificates, but doing this is not recommended.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
