Making Safari open links with preferred application NOT download the data.

Hi all
The subject says it all really. I'm trying to find out how I can click on a web link and launch a program to play the content rather than the default save to desktop and then having to open it manually? Any ideas?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Open link with external application

Hi,
From a script page in Interaction Manager I'd like to open a linked .eml file with Outlook, but CCA opens a java windows where I can read the mail body, but not the attachment... Is there a way to force open the linked .eml file directly with Outlook (or to see the attachment in Java...)?
Tnx
Giuseppe

Hi all,
Oracle suggested me to add this lines in the web.xml web application file:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>eml</extension>
<mime-type>message/rfc822</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
It didn't worked for me... so I tried "application/outlook", "application/msoutlook", "application/vnd.ms-outlook", "application/octet-stream" and so on... but nothing changed.
Then I tried changing this entry in Windows client registry:
from
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\message/rfc822]
"CLSID"="{3050F3D9-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}"
to
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\message/rfc822]
"CLSID"=""
and it's working !!!
I don't know if there is a better way to achieve this... or if this change can prevents something other from working... but for now is my solution...

Form created with LiveCycle is not saving the data of a fillable form.

I had posted this in another forum, which got moved over to this forum. Forgive the double post, I wasn't sure if it was assumed that it was resolved.
This document: http://www.southark.edu/employment/application-v5.pdf was created a couple of years ago in Acrobat and LiveCycle.
I wanted visitors to have the ability to fill in the document and save their data.
So, I opened it in Adobe Acrobat X and saved it using the Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
However, after filling in the document and saving, no data is saved.
I was informed that since it was an XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, that they have special considerations that don't apply to forms created in Acrobat.
Still needing help in giving my visitors the ability to save their form data.
Thanks,
Charley

Thanks so much for your reply.
Employing your solution our website visitors can save the data using Acrobat Pro.
They cannot save their data using Reader (most of them don't have Acrobat Pro). See image below.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks very much for your time and interest.

I have a macbook pro 10.8.5 and the Application Safari will not open no matter what i do, I try to open the menu of Safari but it won't let me either, the mouse will just be loading. Each time i open it, it says "Application Not Responding" and I try opening it in my Finder and it'll say "The Application 'Safari' cannot be opened." and below that it'll say "-1712" Please help? I would really like to open it again.

The application Safari can't be opened -1712
What to do about "The application 'Safari' can't be opened" -1712 ?

I have to open website which opens only with google but not from safari. how can i get such google?

i have a website which opens only with google, but not google from safari. how i can get google w/o using safari?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

[SOLVED] Xfce terminal open links with wrong browser.

After installing Opera as second browser, xfce terminal began to open links with it, instead of my default browser - Firefox.
I right click on an URL, choose 'Open Link' and it opens in Opera.
Firefox is set as default browser in Settings -> Preferred Applications -> Web Browser
xdg-open http://archlinux.org
- opens Firefox
exo-open http://archlinux.org
- opens Firefox
After quick search through xfce terminal sources i found it uses some function - gtk_show_uri.
I googled it, found that topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140028 and tried the solution:
cat ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/mailto=exo-mail-reader.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox-browser.desktop
strangely it doesn't help.
After all righ click url in terminal and 'Open Link' still uses Opera.
Any ideas? What else can i do to find out a reason?

Tried BROWSER envar - doesnt help, and as i understand it must work only for cli apps.
Editing of ~/.config/mimeapps.list doesnt help eather:
cat ~/.config/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
text/vcard=firefox.desktop
text/html=firefox.desktop
[Added Associations]
text/vcard=firefox.desktop;
text/html=firefox.desktop
but maybe it's not correct.

Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading

Dear all,
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
Expecting more advise on this.
Configurations: Windows XP
Safari: 5.1.7
Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
Thanks in advance,
Thirilog

Hi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

Safari open link in new tab is gone

i tried setting preferences , updated software ,
but nothing works. .can anyone help me plz

Check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file (preferences)
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. If that made a difference, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
And try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

I have found a fix after doing additional research through this forum. Tech Note #328730 addresses this problem and it works for Photoshop Album 3.2 even though it was written for release 1.0.
Here is a link that will take you directly to the Tech Note:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=328730
When using this fix the Tech Note indicates:
"Imported image data and tags are lost when you re-create the My Catalog.psa file, so you need to reimport images and reapply any tags"
however it did retain the captions (at least it did for me).

How can I correct this problem?

What type of file is it? What is the extension (the 3 letters after the . (DOT)) of the file?
Could be it is a Windows Exe file and simply will not run on a Mac. Which is good because anyone that would send you a excute (.EXE) file is up to no good. just my opinion.

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

Safari open link in new tab problem

Safari opens links in same tab when it should open each link in a new tab.
In preferences, tabs, Open pages in tabs instead of windows: if I select, Always
When I browse, click on a link, the link opens in the page I am viewing and also a new tab.
If I select never
When I browse, click on a link, the page opens in the tab I am viewing and also a new tab (about 75% of the time).
If I select automatically, Safari will selectively open the link in the same page and a new tab at the same time, or sometimes just open a new tab.
What's up, Safari 6?
How can I fix this annoying behavior?

I pulled the plist to the trash, reset Safari, restarted. Everything seems to be working as it should. I'm guessing this was some sort of preference or cache corruption. If the weird behavior returns, I'll report back.

Safari opens links in new tabs, or in pre-existing tabs without giving me the option of opening the link in the same tab.

Safari opens links in new tabs, or in pre-existing tabs without giving me the option of opening the link in the same tab.
This has never happened before. Normally I would right-click and select open in new tab. How do I fix it? It's really frustrating.

"Open pages in tabs instead of windows:"
Click the box for drop down.
You have three choices, Never, Automatically and Always.
