Open a new EMail from a JButton
Hi!!
I have a application with Swing and I want to open a new email message (in the default mail client) clicking in a JButton. Is it possible??
thanx!!
Thank you for response!!
But I still have problems.
the code
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("");
works fine, bun not with "mailto" command.
for example:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("regedit");
works OK
buen "mailto" dont work. I test to execute "mailto:[email protected]" in the Execute box and it works OK.
Why it doesnt work when i call it from the line above??
Thanx!

I used my military (.mil) address as the backup for my appleID account, but now that I need to open the verification email from apple, the .mil doesnt allow me to open and verify that I am who I am?
Hey Edgew7,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
Pages08 on my newMacBookPro/Lion will not open Pages08 docs emailed from my iMac. What can I do?
Pages08 on my new MacBookPro/Lion will create new Pages08 docs but will not open Pages08 docs emailed from my iMac. A dialog box pops up stating that I new a newer version of Pages. What can I do? Thanks

Pages08 on my new MacBookPro/Lion will create new Pages08 docs but will not open Pages08 docs emailed from my iMac.
There is something odd in this message.
Even under Lion, Pages 08 is able to open Pages 08 documents created by Pages 09.
I guess that the OP made a typo and that the docs were created as Pages 09 documents.
In theory, the availability of iWork 08 on a machine is not supposed to disable the ability to buy Pages 09 thru the MAS because the iWork 08 registration scheme is not the same than the iWork 09 one.

My Box account is : http://www.box.com/s/00qnssoyeq2xvc22ra4k -
I cannot open the new email icon for 10.6.8 including the latest security update. My old "Stamp" icon email won't let me in either indicating that the new OS version doesn't work. Please help. I have spend over 4 hours installing and reinstalling updates, etc. and I don't know where to go from here.....
Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 -
Macbook 10.9.2 will not get new email from gmail
I believe I have found a solution to this problem of OS10.9.2 not being able to get my new email from gmail.
Go into Mail Preferences>accounts and select your problem account. Go down to "Outgoing mail server" and select the box "use only this server."
At first I didn't believe this would solve my problem because it's "outgoing" BUT it worked. My new messages instantly began loading. I quit mail and later opened it to see if I would instantly get new messages and it worked.
I was desperate and willing to try anything. Try it. You'll like it.This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto qualify for a free upgrade to 9.5.1 and which require a purchase;
If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

New email from and app - POSSIBLE?
I'm wondering if there's a Service or AppleScript anyone is aware of that will behave the same as Cmd-Shift-I (to email a selection) but once activated would: switch to Mail (from any app) and bring up a new email window. Possible? Any advise would be awesome! Thanks...
Yes, and I mentioned that. Example of what I'm looking for:
I'm working in InDesign and I want to send my client an email. I want a keystroke that switches me to mail and opens a new email window in one go, ready to input an address and text. -
Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?
Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
Hope this helps. -
File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.
I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook? -
When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.
It is probably a JavaScript link.
You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
''Did that work?''
Some styles that provide a warning as to the type of link:

Every time I open a New File from the File Menu and I open it all of my desktop items are in it. What's up with that?
This is configured in Finder preferences under the General icon. You can make some changes to that behavior.

How do you open a new document from the template chooser?
Hi There,
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't find the option to open a new document from the template chooser. When I type in "template" in the help box it shows it under "file" But when I click on "File" I don't see that option.
Basically, I'm trying to ask how do you access the templates in the new pages?
Thanks so muchCheck your preferences and make sure Show Template Chooser is selected:
Then just choose New from the File menu. -
"open in new window"- from favorites panel - bridge
Hi Bridge, I love your way of working
However 2 things make my hair rise
- I can't "open in new window" from a favorited location. only in the "content" panel... which is rather "weird"
- I have to "reveal in finder" to be able to zip/rar files.
Please fix this, I know i am not the only one who would love this.- I can't "open in new window" from a favorited location. only in the "content" panel... which is rather "weird"
To be honest, I never thought about that option, I always use the shortcut cmd + N for a new window and point to a folder in either folder panel or favorites panel. There is always something to learn
Having the same option in Favorites as in Folder panel would be very logical indeed!
- I have to "reveal in finder" to be able to zip/rar files.
I think you are bound to do so always because Bridge is in fact a browser and in itself not capable of editing files. The export panel did some tasks with resizing but has been discontinued in CC.
Only if Adobe made an application to unzip or open other packages the possibility for using the tools menu and reach the start up script for such app would be the shortest road possible to my knowledge. But also AFAIK Adobe does not offer such application.
And using MacOsX 10.8.4 my downloaded zip files are unzipping themselves automatically...
Please fix this, I know i am not the only one who would love this.

How do I open a new tab from address line?
You Will have to hold down the Alt key and press Enter to make the link open in a new tab without using an extension.
By default links always open in the same tab.
You can search the Add-ons website for an extension if you want to change this default behavior.
