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

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.

Having installed thunderbird, and subsequently disinstalled, Safari cannot find Mail.app anymore. This is rather annoying, since I cannot send links or web contents anymore from winthin Safari. Is there any way to reinstall Safari or make Mail visible?

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?

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

Suddenly cannot open mail app on my computer

cannot open mail app? Has always been fine, much of touched something I'm not familiar with??

Anyone have any suggestions?? I've run iTunes for years now, this last update "killed" the ablity for it to run automatically on my Win7 machine. I've unloaded EVERTYTHING apple on my computer 3x times now, reloaded, as admin - even paid for cleaners to make sure. Run all the Microsoft patches, updates, everthing I could find...NOTHING seems to be working.

Safari Browser and Mail App cannot be opened.

After I turn off my iPod Touch and start up again, Safari browser and my Mail App crashes every time I open it. I tried to reboot the device again, and it did not work. I'm going to have to restore, but my question is:
What are the reasons for this? This has never happen to me before.
Replies appreciated.

Almost all the times things like that just happens and they seldom return. If i keeps recurring after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem.

Cannot see mails in Apple Mail 5.1 even though they exist in the folder

My iMac (late-2011) HDD crashed and got replaced. I recovered the system from Time Machine using Migration Assistant, all looks fine except for Apple Mail 5.1. I could not see any of the mails that were in Apple Mail (although they appear when you go into Time Machine). I checked the ~/Library/Mail folder, under V2 folder, the emails (.emlx files) are all there, but I cannot see any mails that were recovered from Time Machine in Apple Mail. Sending and receiving works fine.
Any one else has seen this quirkiness in Apple Mail? I am tempted to use another Mail client to import to see if those "missing" mails will miraculously reappeared. Any advice is greatly appreciated as I have 5 years of emails archived.

Just a thought. If those emails are supposed to be in folders in the On My Mac area in the Mail sidebar, make sure On My Mac is not set to the "hide" status. Mouse over the On My Mac leegend and if a ghost item "show" appears, click it.

"Cannot Send Mail" App has the smtp address wrong.

Does anyone else see this error?
Any help?

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name +Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

HT201272 Cannot see previous App Store purchases

Hi,
I have iTunes 11.02 with fully patched OS Lion.
I want to do a clean install of my machine so I need to download all my app purchases again (Logic Pro).
I cannot see my OSX App Store purchases yet I used this machine and this iTunes account to make the purchase.
Any idea why?
Thx in advance.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit the App Store application if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.appstore
Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist - corrupt
Leave the Library folder open. Try the App Store again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit again. Go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
Again, some may not exist. Test. If the App Store now works, delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit again. Put back the files you moved, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place, and continue.
Step 3
Log out, log in, and try again.

Cannot see mail.

Ever since I restored my Touch, I can't see my e-mails.
It shows that there are 27 new e-mails but they don't load up on the screen. Then after awhile of the mail app being open it says something about the mail server not responding.

Did anyone ever respond to you about this? I get this every once in a while and then all of a sudden the mail appears! I want to get my husband one but he is more tech. challenged than me! [email protected] nancy

HT204266 I cannot see some app in AppStore

Example:
Search from Google - iphoto user guide for ipad
http://www.google.com.my/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=iphoto%20user%20guide%20for%20ipad&sou rce=web&cd=1&ved=0CA8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fbook%2Ftips- tricks-for-iphoto-how%2Fid433940679%3Fmt%3D11&ei=iDeeT6zGIc3wrQeqsc2BAQ&usg=AFQj CNF85xWt8qTOd_0qh5Y2bu9Xj6YibQ&sig2=jqhZMR3Qne3Tttn44qwwfg
I am from Malaysia, I have purchased iPhoto for my iPad, looking for its manual from google, found a link which point me to AppStore but in AppStore it cannot be open.
A message appear "your request could not be completed".
I am a legal user, I don't understand how I am restricted from viewing or purchasing some apps from AppStore.
I need to see this app and maybe will purchase it - please help.

There could be many reasons...
First thing I'd check is if you're logged in to your account. And if those apps are available in your country.
Could just be a minor glitch, and a soft reset could be all you need. Try holding the power and home button for 10-15 seconds until the screen goes black and the apple logo reappears (you won't lose any data). May just need to reset the connection with the apple servers.

Why I cannot see an app in my purchased apps?

I purchased LIVECAMS PRO and installed in my iPhone and iPad, now I changed my iPhone to a new one and I cannot find this app in my purchased apps.
If I try dowlonding the app again, it wants to charge me again.
Is there a solution for that?
Thank you
brazeagle

Actually, the app is there, and it asks to PAY AGAIN, that was the issue, but I have just solved the problem using your first advice, as I tried a few times with different names in my account.
For example, you told me to use the same ID...
I have a ONE account, but sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and that made all the difference, as I tried them all and finally with [email protected] worked and gave me the opportunity to download again.
Thanks a lot for the tip.

Cannot Launch Mail app

Hi -
I have an iBook G4 with Tiger v.10.4.3. I've been using Eudora as my mail manager, but I got fed up with the poor integration with Tiger so I have just switched to Thunderbird (I check 6 accounts and get hundreds of messages a week).
Some apps seem to have options for which email sw to use (Office and Opera, for example) but others don't. Other applications (e.g. Camino) always launch my old email software, which is really annoying. I am debugging lots of websites at the moment, so faulty mailto: link handling is a problem for me.
I want to set the global mail handler preference, which requires starting Apple Mail (as far as I can tell there is no Pref pane for this - crazy!). I have Mail on the machine, for sure. I have even re-installed it from my Tiger DVD!
The problem is that whatever method I use to launch it (direct click in Finder, Spotlight search or QuickSilver) the icon bounces in the dock a few times and then disappears. Why is this? What can I do to repair the app and set the global preference? By the way, when I look in the info in Finder, it does say it was opened today, so it looks like the app is loading and instantly quitting.
Thanks a lot, Apple people.

Hi again Ernie -
Thanks for taking the time to think about my issue. At the moment I have about 21gb free, so I doubt that is directly contributing. I started Eudora when offline, and checked all the preference panes. There was an option to set it as the default client, which was unchecked.
Then I looked in the Library directory- no entry for Eudora, but there was an entry for Thunderbird and another (almost empty) directory listed for Mail.
Next task was to look into the package of Mail and try to run ot from the command line. I went into Contents / MacOS and ran the Mail.app from there directly. This is the error I got:
Welcome to Darwin!
Tunis:~ lewismiller$ /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail; exit
2006-01-14 14:23:57.185 Mail[911] Unable to load nib file: MailViewer, exiting
Does this sound like some corrupted prefs that were not repaired by a reinstall of the application? I wouldn't know how to solve that. Anywa, the problem is still persisting, but I think I am about to add my Eudora folder, old email and so on into an archive. Perhaps when it has gone altogether I will get a dialogue asking me how I want to handle mail links?
Any more thoughts would be appreciated. This is the only thing on this glorious little computer that doesn't work perfectly!
