Safari cannot find mail.app

I'm running Safari 5.1.4, and Mail 5.2 on a system running OS 10.7.3.
I am trying to send a link to a page from safari using CMD+SHIFT+I. When I attempt to do that, I receive a message that Safari cannot find an email application. I checked Mail's preferences, and it is listed as the default mail application.
Any ideas on how to get Safari to find Mail?

You need to reset the LaunchServices database.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Copy or drag – don't type – the text below into the Terminal window:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain user
That's all one line, though it will scroll on this page. Triple-click anywhere in the text to select it all.
Press return. Log out, then log back in.

  • Safari cannot "see" mail app.

    I get this message when I try to send a link (or page) from safari +"Safari couldn’t create an email message to send the link because it couldn’t locate an email application."+ I believe my problem stems from trying out the mozzilla mail app. I don't have the install disc as I bought the computer used with the OS installed. I tried removing the p.list from the library preferences, without success, is there anything else I can do?
    and thanks

  • Safari cannot find the internet plug in

    I have a new Intel iMac that initially had no problem surfing any web site. I now have a problem with any page that contains "shockwave". As and example when I try to got to www.autotoll.com.hk I get stopped by the following message...
    ++Safari cannot find the internet plug in++
    ++The page “Autotoll” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:++
    ++http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer++
    ++Do you want to open the page?++
    I have gone to macromedia numerous times and tried to download and install Flash Player 9. I still get the same message.
    I have also tried using FIREFOX and get the same message.
    How do I install Flash Player 9 properly??????
    HELP!!!

    Re: FLASH 9 won't work with Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox (A FIX!!!)

    threejay10,
    thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
    http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
    i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
    So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
    http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
    installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
    It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
    Cheers, TM

  • Safari cannot find the server and question mark in blue square

    Hi
    I consistently have problems with safari displaying the message safari cannot find the server. The version I have is 5.1.8 and I installed a security update today (23.3.13) hoping it would solve the problem. After refreshing the page a couple of times or restarting safari everything works as normal but this is an ongoing issue. I also have problems with images loading on sites. They appear as blue squares with question marks. I have tried most things people have said on the net but nothing is working.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    HI aad1612,
    Try deleting the safari plist by foloowing these instructions:
    Close Safari
    Open a Finder window
    Click on "Go" in the upper status bar
    Click and HOLD the alt/option key (Library should appear in the above list)
    Keep holding the alt/otion key and click on Library (this will open a new window)
    Open the Preference folder (NOT Preference Panes)
    Look for com.apple.Safari.plist
    Right mouse client to move this file to trash
    Empty the trash
    Open Safari again and hopefully your issue will be reoslved.
    Good Luck

  • Changing Safari's default mail app...

    Anybody know how to change Safari's default mail app??
    I don't use Apple Mail, I prefer Entourage and I would love to have it as the default mail app in Safari. When I hit command + I or command + Shift + I , I want Entourage to open, not Mail. Is there any way to do this?
    Methods that don't involve going under the bonnet (hood for you Americans) would be preferred.
    ...but if I must go under the bonnet/hood then I wouldn't mind setting the google bar to go to Google.co.uk not .com
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Gaberdine

    Thanks Ferd II, that's fixed it. And it was painless
    It never ocurred to me that I might set my default mail app from within Mail... because I never open it except for when Safari opened it by default (grrr).
    I thought I might have to use a hack or Terminal (that's what I meant by going under the bonnet (hood)really) but it turns out to be so simple if you only know how - and that's the absolute joy of these forums.
    I suspect changing the default localisation for the Google search bar in Safari would be more complex however...
    Cheers,
    Gaberdine
    Edit: For anybody anybody else who sets Entourage as their default mail app; be aware that it doesn't permit mailing a whole webpage from Safari (Command + I) only the link to the page (Command + Shift + I). Try it and you'll get an alert recommending you use Apple Mail. lol

  • Safari Cannot find Server

    hi all,
    just purchased a new macbook a few days ago and i have found that when i am trying to access certain websites i get a message up saying "safari cannot open the followig page as Safari cannot find the server". i have tried emptying cache and reseting safari but it is still happening on a regular basis with different sites. could it be a problem with my internet settings?? i connect via airport to a wireless modem.

    Hello z:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    First, check with your ISP to be sure your settings are correct.
    To correct a different problem, I use OpenDNS (free version). That may not address your issue, but it cannot hurt.

  • Cannot find install.app

    I had to have a new hard drive put into my Mac mini. I am trying to re-install by boxed set of Adobe Creative Suite master collection 5.5 but cannot find install.app on any of the three disks. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    There's something else I have just remembered. The master suite collection was a student edition that I had the platform changed for, from Windows to Mac. This explains why the serial number on the box doesn't work. It had to be cancelled. So now the situation is that I need to track down the serial number it was replaced with. Thing is, I can't remember what Adobe did. I have relevant emails still, but only saying they have cancelled the old serial number (that's on the box) nothing about a replacement one.
    Any thoughts?

  • Safari cannot find acrobat

    When I attempt to open or download an Acrobat doc, safari cannot find it, despite it on my HD - Firefox has no problem finding it. What do I need to do to correct this issue

    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?

    The page: http://lamega.lamusica.com/player.shtml doesn't load the content because the message "Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in"
    I already have this plug-in: Microsoft® Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin but I see in the MIME Type only show "audio/x-ms-wma" but not the "video/x-ms-wma".
    Help me....
    Thanks a lot

    I actually don't get any error message at all. The Q is greyed out and a large ? in center of it and nothing works in Safari. I get the same non-message wherever I go that has QT. I have tried some of the fixes that have worked for other people but nothing works so far. I tossed the webplugin into the trash and restarted Safari. I repaired permissions. I looked at the plug-ins list in help but that was only confusing since I don't have a clue what any of those control. Getting frustrated and have spent a couple of hours trying to fix this.

    Just wondering if anyone can help....I do not have a Mac so am finding it difficult to test.
    I have just published an online magazine which was initially in the .dnl file format, which has come to light that mac users cannot view.
    To try and resolve this I created an .exe file but it would seem that most mac users cannot view this either as they do not have virtual pc etc... which is required to view the .exe file.
    I have now created a PDF version which has satidifed some people on macs temporarily but trying desperately to offer something to mac users I thought I had the answer, by uploading the magazine to a browser so it does not require downloading.....but:
    The first person to try it out for me got: Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in and on trying to obtain one it could not find one.
    I really thought it would work as you do not need the .dnl reader until you try to save the book or detach it to view it on screen.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to view the content in a web browser????
    Any help would be much appreciated as I do not want to leave the Mac users out.
    Here is the link incase anyone fancies trying it for me....any feedback would be appreciated.

    It's either been moved to another home screen or inadvertenlty dropped in a folder, in which case you can search for it or reset the Home Screen Layout in the General -> Reset area, or purchasing apps has been disabled in the Restrictions, also in the General settings.
