Safari (7.1.3) forgets preferences in Mail 7.3, when "search with Google"

When in Mail 7.3, "Search With Google" on any selected text causes Safari (7.1.3) Icon to bounce in dock and when selected, it opens with a screen to set up my preferences.  As if it were the first time I used Safari. None of my extensions are installed in the safari preferences. 
  When I open Safari first THEN open Mail, then Safari behaves normally.  I am using a non-standard "home page" but Google is my default search engine.  I am running Mavericks  ) 10.9.5.
Tho it is easy to work around this issue, over time it has made me curiouser & curiouser.  Any help or ideas would be most welcomed, 
  Thanks...

Really? Nobody has encountered this?  This is the first time I haven't gotten one response to a query. Booo

  • Mail wants to use the restricted Service "Search With Google."

    This is the response/error I see when I try to do a Google search from an email message - "Mail wants to use the restricted Service “Search With Google.”"

    Interesting - I just created a new user account I named "Test", and tried "Search With Google" in Notes and it worked fine in this new account.  Without any additional change, I went back into my normal user account, and tried to use "Search with Google" on the highlighted word, and it pulled up the Google search fine as well.  No reason I can think of that these actions would have resolved the problem - e.g., either the creation of the "Test" account, or switching between this "Test" account and my normal account.  Possibly creating new account caused a cleanup of the Safari preferences to point to version 6.0.(essentially reset the default)
    Would be curious if droow007 solution works for others.  Definitely quicker than the route I went :~)

  • When highlighting text and searching with Google, even though my default browser is Chrome, it searches with Safari.  How do I change that?

    Using iMac and Maverick OS.  I have Chrome as my default browser.  I find that going to System Preferences/General under default browser, I note that Chrome is chosen as default, yet the browser "above the line" is Safari and Chrome, while checked off is "below the line".  In other words, the top listed browser is Safari which is unchecked with a line underneath, even though all the other browsers are listed below the line and only Chrome has a check mark. 
    When I am on a website and I select words to search in Google, it always searches with Safari instead of Chrome.  How do I change that?

    Thanks for your response.  I think it was my error in that I did not define the problem properly.  Indeed Chrome is my default browser.  And Maverick does not have a "next line" to default to Google.  I can do that in the Chrome settings. 
    My problem is that when I am in another application.....and it is apparently an application native to Maverick....for example Contacts or Calendar, Reminders, Notes, etc., if I highlight a word or phrase, and right click and choose "search with Google", it defaults to Safari.  How do I change that?

  • I use macbook and lion os. I want to sync gmail contact with address book. For this i goto preference in address book and select "sync with google". I put my gmail details. However, the sync does not happen. Please help.

    i use macbook and lion os 10.7.2.
    I want to sync gmail contact with address book.
    For this i goto preference in address book and select "sync with google".
    I put my gmail details.
    However, the sync does not happen.
    Please help.

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • Edit "Search with Google" service to open in a new safari page

    I frequently use the search with google service in OSX.
    This appears in the contextual menu as "Search in google" and in the services menu as "Search with google".
    When I am in Safari and I want to search some word or phrase in google, I am redirected to the google page in the same page I m at. So if I want to search several words in google, I have to do it one by one.
    I want to be able to edit this function so the word I am looking is searched in a separate tab or browser window.
    I cant find the workflow in the Services folder so I can edit it. Anyone have an idea?
    Thank you

    this is a built in service not made with automator. You can not edit it. you can try making your own service for this task using automator although I don't quite see how to make one that will do what you want.

  • Is there anyway to get the "Search with google" feature in Safari to automatically open in new tab?

    Is there any way to get the "Search with google" feature in safari to automatically open the link in a new tab?
    I am indifferent as to the solution, whether it be an extension, plug-in or apple script using automator as long as it is well documented.
    Have yet to see an elegant solution.

    Hold down the command key while selecting the menu item.

  • Mail not delivered when sent with the Unix "mail" command

    I am trying to send mail from the Unix command line with the "mail" command. Whenever I try to send an e-mail using a command of the form:
        mail -s 'This is the subject' <email address>
    the mail message always ends up in subdirectories of the postfix "deferred" directory:
        /private/var/spool/postfix/deferred
    It seems that the mail system runs for 60 seconds after an e-mail is sent and during that time I can run "mailq". If I do that I see something like the following:
    -Queue ID- Size ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

        +<lots of lines snipped out>+
    It seems to be complaining that the connection timed out to broadpark.no\[217.13.4.67\], which is the domain of my ISP.
    My outgoing SMTP mail server is:
        mail.broadpark.no\[217.13.6.35\]
    Could it be that mail system is trying to connect to the wrong SMTP mailserver? If so, how can I fix this?
    I should mention that mail flows perfectly in and out of my machine via the Mail.app program. I am only having problem sending mail down at the Unix command line level.
    I had this working on OS X 10.4.x, but this is the first time I have tried this with Leopard.
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Perhaps I should have been a little bit clearer why I want to be able to send mail via my local mail/postfix system: I have several servers set up on my iMac, in particular:
        apache
        trac
    I want these servers to be able to send mail to, e.g.,
        webmaster@localhost
        root@localhost
        trac@localhost
    I have created aliases for these addresses in:
        /etc/postfix/aliases
    (I have also executed "newaliases"). These aliases all point to my own user account on the same machine (my iMac).
    Finally, I have a .forward file at the root level of my OS X account that forwards all local Unix mail to my normal e-mail account handled by my ISP.
    This way, all local mail sent to "webmaster2, "root", "trac", etc., should be sent to my normal e-mail address that I monitor with Mail.app.
    *This all worked perfectly with Mac OS X 10.4.x,* so I know it should be possible. However, I have only now just tried to set this up 10.5.x (Leopard) and, clearly, I am having problems.
    Perhaps this motivation for wanting to send e-mail via the Unix mail system will help others understand my situation, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks very much in advance.

  • Mail unexpectedly quits when launched with Leopard

    I just installed leopard, but I tried to launch Mail, i keep getting this message saying that mail unexpectedly quit. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks.

    10.6.8 is not Mountain Lion.
    How big is your hard drive, and how full is it?
    Did you happen to download any system cache cleaners?  Those can damage its ability to function.
    Have you tried repairing permissions?
    Is your data backed up?
    Is Spotlight indexed?
    Is the Mail trying to load an IMAP, POP or Exchange account?

  • Internet Accounts (Mail/Calendar) still not working with Google account

    Half a year after the release of Mavericks, it's still not possible to use Apple Mail and Calendar with my Google account. There's always the same error message:
    There was a problem setting up the account.
    An unknown error occurred.
    I don't understand why this problem couldn't be fixed yet.

    I have the same setup and it works just fine.
    Reboot into Safe Mode and try again. Post back with the result.

  • Safari and 10.6.2 upgrade. Mail and Safari will not open.

    I upgraded to 10.6.2 and Safari. Now I cannot open my Mail or Safari. I get a message that says it Unexpectedly Quit. I see in the details it says unable to gather system configuration information. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

    HI,
    Try deleting this file.
    com.apple.launchservices.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences.
    Move that file to the Trash, restart your Mac and try to launc Mail and Safari. If that doesn't help...
    Download and install the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo)
    It's ok to do this even though you are running 10.6.2. Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • How do I prevent Mail from opening when I click an email address in Safari?

    My wife and I both use Yahoo! Mail. Neither of us uses the Mail app to manage our email. How do I prevent Mail from opening when we click an email address in Safari?  Is it possible to direct Safari to open a separate web browser prompting us to log in to our Yahoo! Mail?

    Hmm.. probably not.
    You want to open Mail. Then go into Preferences > General and you will see something similar to this:
    In the area marked Default Mail reader click on the pull down and at the bottom of the list it will say Other. You can see if you can select Safari here and if that will open up Safari.
    Good luck.

  • I want to forward a message with the default headers included, but can't seem to set my mail preferences to include the headers when forwarding, just the original message ends up in the forwarded message and not the headers?

    I want to forward a message with the default headers included, but can’t seem to set my mail preferences to include the headers when forwarding, just the original message ends up in the forwarded message and not the headers?  What I'm trying to do is report SPAM and add headers to a spam message to forward to sites that go after the spammers.

  • In system preferences iCloud, mail contacts calendar crash

    In system preferences icloud and mail, contacts, calendars crash, so I can't alter them.
    Mail seems to freeze and only way to restart is force quit and then it is fine till I think it updates with iCloud again and then won't shut down again unless force quit.

    Hi lynne168,
    If System Preferences or Mail are quitting unexpectedly, there are a few ways to isolate and resolve the issue.
    First, I'd recommend booting your computer into safe mode:
    Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    If the applications are working normally in safe mode, this usually means OS X is fine, and the issue is caused by conflicting software in your user account.
    Next, see if your computer behaves normally in a new user accoun:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If the issue persists in safe mode and a new user, I would recommend reinstalling OS X:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy
