Unable to set "Mail" as default mail client

I did have a prefpane from Rubicode .. deleted, restarted .. frankly not sure if that was even the problem. However, every time I select "Mail" to be the default email app, I still see iTerm.app listed as the default email handler. I have tried changiing and restarting to no avail. All I have to do is make the change to ANY email program, and close the MAIL PROGRAM. The next time I check in Mail/Preferences/General/Default-email ... I see Term.app ...

However .... I might add that in making the experiment, not deleting however renaming that plist, Mail made another; started the process of asking me to make some email accounts; I quit right then.
But ... when I restarted Mail again, with the original plist, to my chagrin, I noted that I can make "Mail" stay (stick) as the default email client.
I just restarted the macBook to prove it to myself ... been certainly more than a week and i'd not resolved it. So, we'll give you the credit for causing me to move the original out then back, which "seems" to have obliquely corrected the problem.
go figure, on that one.
tnx

Unable to set root/main/default servlet in Tomcat 5.5

I'm on a shared hosting account with Tomcat 5.5 and cannot figure out why I can't set the default servlet. I want all incoming requests regardless of the relative path, to be handled by the Redirect servlet. There is only one servlet in the whole project.
Some examples
http://www.mydomain.com -> Redirect servlet (not working)
http://www.mydomain.com/ -> Redirect servlet (not working)
http://www.mydomain.com/a -> Redirect servlet
http://www.mydomain.com/blaldjflajdd -> Redirect servlet
With the below web.xml file, the last two above works just fine, but the first two gives a 403 error. What gives, I followed the Tomcat documentation to the teeth... It seems to work on my development server, but not on the shared hosting. Is this a setting anyone would block? Any help would be much appreciated.
The full web.xml setting below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

     </servlet-mapping>What would happen if I try an empty url-pattern?
     <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>Redirect</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern></url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>Any help would be much appreciated. I tried workarounds, by using an index.jsp file to supplement, but that isn't working quite right either. I prefer to have it setup properly though.... Please Help!!!

tomcat does not compile servlets, only JSP's will be translated and compiled on the fly. You need to compile them yourself, possibly using ANT or an IDE like NetBeans or Eclipse to make it easier to deploy the changes.

Office Jet 8600 Premium unable to set printer as default. Error 0x00000709

Have NEVER been Able to make my new OJ 8600 Premium the default printer--Win7x64 Ultimate, McAfee, MSOffice All Updated. This is less than 30 days old!!!!
Installs and seems to be fully functional, Prints a Test Page, & Scans using YOUR software, BUT:
Will Not Scan Normally from Acrobat as it will not recognize (still has my HP 6500 listed which is UNINSTALLED & Registry cleaned ) Can scan using Custom Settings (WT*?!!)
Outlook & Excel "sees" the printer BUT will NOT print Fails to connect.
Checked & cleaned registry of OLD printer info then rebooted as indicated in some of the forums. STILL 0x00000709
Took offline and tried a direct connect using the USB port. Rebooted all and still 0x00000709
I thought initially it was just me. BUT, this is ALL OVER THE INTERNET, and NOT just on the 8600.
I am about to put the 8600 back in the box WITHOUT the packing and SEND it BACK. OVER 20 years with HP, BUT I have HAD IT!

Hey MHz67,
This error is coming from the Windows OS itself and is most likely coming from an issue with your Print Spooler service. I would advise trying to run the Microsoft Fixit tool for automatically detecting and fixing printing problems.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/
Once this has run are you able to get the printer to be set as default and function?

Unable to set up the default value in custom object 10,related item section

Hi,
Please help me out for the below issue
Custom Object 10 we renamed to Quarterly Broker Review .In Quarterly Broker Review there is a related item section 'Activity'.
In Quarterly Broker Review ,Activity related Section ,After clicking on The 'New Task' button 'Account Name' field in Quarterly Broker Review(Parent ) should be prefilled in the Activity Section(Related Item Section) in Account Name Field
'Account Name' field is a Picklist Read Only field.
Since it is a picklist read only field i couldn't write the expression in the 'Activity' Related section under 'Account Name' field
you can also help me by reaching at '[email protected]'
Thanks,
Srinivas Merugu

Hi Srinivas,
As you know, you can refer to a field in a different object by using JoinFieldValue function. But this function is not available for all the object references. If you refer online help for JoinFieldValue function you would notice that from activity only CustomObjects 1,2 an 3 can be referenced using this function.
If this is possible for the activity and CustomObject 10 then you go to the field named Account Id in Activity object and set a default value. I guess in the parent object "CustomObject10" Account Id will also be stored in "Account: Integration ID". So this field value can be copied into the Account Id field of Activity.
Instead you could write a web service program to achieve this.
Thanks

Vista Home Basic Unable to Set Safari as Default

Topic pretty much describes it all.
I've tried to set the default application settings as "Custom" and selecting Safari as the default browser... that setting won't stick. Setting Safari as the default inside of Safari itself won't stick. I can't set Safari as the default application to handle http protocol in "Set program access and computer defaults" because it doesn't even show on the list.
I want so very, very desperately to use this browser, but if I can't get it to load any pages unless I type them in the address bar myself, it seems slightly pointless.

Can you get there: http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/vista2/defaultprograms/select_your_default_programselection.JPG

And do you see safari there?

Unable to set outlook as default calendar

After the last software update I installed on my Blackberry torch, I have lost the option to set Outlook as my default calendar - apparently Facebook is now my default.
Any suggestions how I can change it?
My syncing is showing as Outlook.

Hi hillke,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Could you please provide more information so I can better assist you?
When you click on the drop down list next to Calendar (CICAL) in Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Default Services, is Facebook the only option to select?
How many email accounts do you have integrated on your BlackBerry® Torch™ 9860 smartphone?
Can you please clarify what you mean by your syncing is showing Microsoft® Outlook®?
Thanks.

Thunderbird doesn't work as default email client when sharing pdf attachments. Works fine if Mail is the default client

With Tbird set as the default email client, whenever I try to email the pdf, a message pops up that the default client can't handle sending the attachment. It works all the time if the native Mac Mail software is the default client..
This forces me to save the pdf file, go to Tbird to send a message and then have to find the file in the folder structure to add as an attachment.

My PDF software is Adobe Acrobat. So what is wrong with your Thunderbird software I must ask!

Adobe Reader keeps telling me that there is no default mail client

Adobe Reader keeps telling me that there is no default mail client. But I do have Outlook 2013 set as my default email client. I really don't wish for Adobe Reader to be looking for an Email Client. How can I get Adobe Reader to quit looking for an Email Client?

That's on a Mac, but it's the same in Windows.
After you click "Add Other..." use ANY email address (make one up if you feel like it)
Set it as your default. It should stop asking you to choose.

Can I use a different mail client to "Send a Copy" from Pages?

One of my favorite Pages features is its ability to send someone a copy of your document in Pages, Word, PDF, or ePub format via email with only a couple clicks in the "Share" button. But this feature only works if Mail, Apple's email client, is set as the default email client for your Mac. Because I use Unibox as my email client, I'm unable to take advantage of the "Send a Copy" feature in Pages. Is there a work around for this or a settings file within the system I can tweak to allow me to use a mail client other than Apple Mail to "Send a Copy" from Pages? Thank you!

No, I haven't heard that. YOu have to do it the old fashion way and attach a document in your mail client before sending the mail.

Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Install) unable to set Default Mail Client

After installing Office 2013 via Office 365 for Business, the installation is unable to set Outlook as the default mail client. Message appears after each system reboot:
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
When going into Control Panel and manually set the Outlook client as the default, the setting does not take. After a reboot, the warning message reappears.
Anyone else having the same issue?

No but then again it is a Beta. Did you clean install or update? 9926 seems to be relatively stable.

Office 2013 Pro - Error Message - I cannot set Office 2013 as the default mail client

I have a number of PCs on a single domain in the same office all running Windows 7 Pro. Some at 64 bit and some are 32 bit depending on their age.
My issue is that on upgrading from Officer 2010 Pro to Office 2013 Pro, the only application I have a problem with is Outlook 2013, and only on the 64 bit machines.   The upgrade on 32 bit machine goes perfectly.   On both I install the
32 bit version of Office 2013 as per the MS notes.
When the 64 bit machines reboot and the user logs on I get the message, sometimes twice:
Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfil the message request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
OK, so this should be straight forward:
I set outlook at the default mail client and associate all file with it from Outlook\File\Option. Nope. That does not work.
I go through default programs and set the default mail client as Office 2013 and associate all file with it from Outlook.   Nope. That does not work.
I check the registry and it shows that the 64 bit or 32 bit reversion is the default mail client. So that does not help.
I install the 64 bit version instead of the 32 bit version. Nope. That does not work.
I clean the registry and temp file. Nope. That does not work.
I set a new mail profile for the user. Nope. That does not work.
Odd that it only upgrades smoothly on the 32 bit machines.
Has anyone got any ideas?   All the suggested fixes on this forum do not fix this issue.

Hello.
Same problem, nothing Works!!!
Help please, really frustrated and angry.
Added written above I tried:
Uninstalled with the Microsoft fix uninstall
and reinstall. This does not work.
Contact the phone technical support. This
does not work.
Addin,s does not work. Adobe, iCloud Addin .... does not work.
'Send email to'   menu does not work.
No application communicates with
Outlook, no Microsoft or third apps.
I can only send and receive emails
from within Outlook.
This program is lousy, any
possibility that my money back.
Thanks

Can I set Firefox as my windows 7 default mail client?

I've already set Firefox's mailto/send etc email program to Gmail, but I want to also set the Windows 7 default mail client to use FireFox (which knows to use gmail). For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach" I get an error: "Either there is no default e-mail client, or the current client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client" What is the equivalent way to run FireFox and set it as the default Windows 7 client? I want my OS default e-mail to open Firefox and then use the e-mail settings already setup in FireFox.
== For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach"

No you cannot because Firefox is not a email client. [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] has a built in email client that you can use

Set Microsoft Outlook as the default mail client.

Every time I am trying to sync my calendar, notes and mail account with my iPhone through iTunes I keep getting a notifactions saying 'Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client'.
The problem is that Outlook IS the default client.
Why can iTunes not complete this task for me...
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Build 14.0.4536.1000 64-bit.
Thanks.

I'm getting this and it's really annonying. The Nokia PC Suite provided a basic but functional PC calendar. Surely there's a simple PC client for the iPhone Calendar somewhere. I use Outlook Express and started using Outlook 2002 to manage my calendar but since a recent iTunes upgrade it's stopped working, giving this "default mail client" error. When I set Outlook to be the default mail client it made no difference.
Apple - you've scored an own goal here. Something that did work now doesn't work, and the only thing that's changed is your software.
I don't doubt it's down to compatability with M$ Outlook Add-ins, but they've not changed.

Outlook 2013 set as default mail client but still shows error box saying it isn't?

We have recently installed Office 2013 64-bit on 4 servers. We previously used Outlook 2007 64-bit.
We set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client and do not have another mail client installed on the servers. However when you first login you get an error message box that says you have no default mail client 'either there is no default mail client or the
current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request'.
I have checked all defaults to be for Outlook 2013.
How can I solve this issue? I am an administrator.

Try different Method to set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client to check the result. Thanks.
Method 1:Set as default within outlook.
-File > Options > General Tab > select the "Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar"
check box.
Method 2: Set as default from the internet explorer.
-Tool > Internet Options > Programs Tab > Set programs
Method 3: Set as default from control panel.
1.Navigate to Control Panel\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
2.Click on the outlook icon on the left hand side.
3.Set as default.
We may also try to create anther windows user profile in the same machine to check if the issue still persists. Thanks.
