Website links won't open from iMessage?

HI guys,
if I get sent a website address in iMessage usually I'm able to click on the link and it will open in Safari but it doesn't seem to respond at all?
I've tried resetting general and iMessage settings too
Any ideas?

Huh. Here's a screenshot about the menu I'm talking about:

  • Link won't open in goddaddy website builder tool

    Links won't open when I try to preview using Go daddy website builder tool. I contacted Go Daddy and they said the tool works as designed on their side and suggested that it may be a browser issue. My question is that is there anything I can do to check my browser settings (i.e. security , etc.) that may correct this issue? I also need to check which version of Firefox is installed, I believe my latest version is 6.0 , not sure?

    Please post the link so we can look it over.

  • Safari won't open from dock after upgrading to leopard

    I've upgraded from OS X 10.4.11 Tiger to OS X 10.5.2 Leopard with the upgrade DVD which arrived today and all the available Software Updates (which included a Safari update). No more Software Updates are available - I've checked.
    Safari and Mail will now not open from the Dock. Neither will iChat, AddressBook, iDVD (which produces a pop-up saying it "quit unexpectedly" - it didn't appear to start at all), and iCal. Safari and Mail WILL open from my Applications folder thankfully. I haven't checked the other mentioned applications, except iDVD which does the same non-opening with pop-up from Applications too.
    I have run permissions verification and permissions repair from Disc Utility on the Mac HD. I have run disc verification from there too and the result said the disc appears OK. Neither solved the Dock problem.
    The icons in the Dock don't bounce or anything. They remain still and un-animated. I just get a pop-up message saying "You cannot use the application "Safari.app" with this version of Mac OS X". Which surprises me as it's a native Apple Mac application isn't it? Obviously it says "Mail.app" for mail, "iChat.app" for iChat etc.
    I reinserted the Leopard installation DVD and installed all the applications from the Optional Install.mpkg folder, including Safari and Mail. This has made no noticeable difference: they still won't open from the dock. I have just noticed that an additional icon for Safari appears at the far (right hand) end of the dock when I open it from Applications. But it disappears when I close Safari, so no good for opening it.
    It could be worse, I can actually open some of the applications from my Applications folder. But this is inconvenient and besides, it is supposed to work from the Dock.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Can anyone help me to solve it please?
    I have backed-up (not using time machine - I backed-up before I upgraded). I hope to avoid having to erase and reinstall but I will IF that will solve this problem (and not cause any others
    Help please. Thanks.

    Hi
    Dock icons are simply alias. The ones on your dock may be corrupted, especially since you can open Safari from the applications folder. To remove an icon, right click on it and select "remove from dock", or simply drag it off the dock, where it will disappear in a puff of virtual smoke.
    Then, go to the Finder and single-click/hold any item you want on the dock. Drag it there.
    Try Safari or the other apps again.
    Specific to the Leopard upgrade, important any 3rd party items installed in your system are Leopard compatible, otherwise you'll have operational problems when using them.
    One other thought. It is possible the Dock is corrupted, causing the problem. If the above does not resolve the problem, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. There, move the com.apple.dock.plist and com.apple.dock.db files to the desktop, then relaunch the Finder (hold down the option/command/esc keys to reveal the Quit Panel. Select the Finder>relaunch.

  • PLS files as web links won't open in ITunes; still say Winamp

                                                                                                                   Hello.  I apologize if this has been answered, but I searched to the best of my ability, and none of the answers I saw applied to this question.  They all seem to say that I should set ITunes up as my default Internet music player, but that option doesn't seem to exist any more.  I've seen things that tell me to go to  preferences -> advanced -> general, but that general tab isn't there any more.  I can't find a setting for "internet music player", so I thought I'd ask here.   I recently uninstalled Winamp because of various annoyances, knowing that ITunes can do everything it could do and more.  However, now, pls links won't play from either IE9 or Firefox.  I can download the pls file and play it that way by just double clicking it.  I've used the "Default Programs" method recommended for Windows 7 to make ITunes the default player for these files, and it works perfectly until I try to click on a web link.  When I save the pls file, the "File Type" combo box to the right of the file name edit box says "Winamp .pls file".  I'm guessing that the browsers are checking some other area and are finding Winamp as the pls player, trying to find it, failing, and returning to the web page with no error.  How can I fix this?  ITunes works perfectly except for web links.  I can't tell by trying other files because I have plugins that play all the other files I have found.  How do I make ITunes do this?

    Hi, Ed2345.  I apologize for clicking the "Correct Answer" button accidentally.  Firefox already has ITunes listed as the default player for "Winamp playlist files" which are .pls files.  I've gone to a few radio stations, some with AAC streams and some with mp3 streams and the results have been the same.  ITunes should be starting for these Winamp playlist files, but that's not happening.  How can I add the equivalent of a file extension setting in the browser?  These seem to be organized by MIME type.  Can I add an extension handler, or perhaps is there a MIME type missing?  If so, how do I add it in Firefox?  I don't see a "New" button.
    V/R,
    Brad

  • Some u-tube links won't open

    SOME u-tube links won't open in a mail message. I get a message saying 'an error occurred, try again later'.
    They never open 'later'. Is there a work-around, or do I need a plug-in or something.
    Thanks

    The forum software says you are using Firefox 19, can you update to Firefox 22 and see if this is fixed, is not can you try the super-beta verion of firefox, espically if youve upgraded to 4.3 it may be causing some problems.

  • Elements 13 won't open from iphoto

    Elements 13 won't open from iphoto. I have gone in Preferences/Advanced/ and changed the Edit photos to Elements 13.

    a single user license entitles the user to install and activate on up-to two computers.  but that license doesn't really permit that 2nd installation to be used by another person.
    so, if you son was the user on your computer he could sign in using his adobe id on your computer and use pse on your computer (as well as his own -  but not both computers at any one time).
    if a 2nd user (you) wanted to use pse, they should purchase their own license.

  • System Prefs won't open from Apple Menu

    Ay, ay, ay.
    Gigabit G4, Tiger
    I couldn't get rid of the blue label on Applications/System Preferences so I created an "archive" of it, tossed the original in the trash and opened the archive. The renewed Sys Prefs gave me permission to change the label, but now it won't open from the apple menu. I guess its an alias there. Where would it be? How to fix it?

    Hi,
    In some cases "newer" version of an App will not run on Older OS software.
    For instance Leopard's iChat 4 will not run in Tiger.
    You say a clean install and do not say if you moved your Home Folder Contents back.
    Your Mail would have been in there as would the Address Book info.
    However related to the first item, you may have issues getting the older Tiger apps to read documents/Databases created by the newer Apps in Leopard.

  • Hi, my mail won't open from my dock on my mac and it won't quit so I can't restart. Anyone help?

    Hi, my mail won't open from my dock on my mac and it won't quit so I can't restart. Anyone help?

    Hello ward886,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like Mail is unresponsive, and you are unable to access it or restart your system.  In a situation like this, I recommend force quitting Mail and restarting your computer. 
    Use one of the following methods to force Mail to quit:
    Using the Force Quit feature of OS X makes an application close, even when it is not responsive.
    Important: Normally you should not need to force quit an app to close it. When an app is forced to quit, any unsaved changes to open documents are not saved, so try these methods to normally close the app first:
    Choose Quit from the app menu. For example, in Safari, choose Safari > Quit Safari.
    Choose Quit by right-clicking or control-clicking on an app's icon in the Dock.
    If your app does not close using the steps above, use any of these steps to force the app to quit:
    Switch to another app, such as the Finder, then choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
    Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.
    Hold down the Control and Option keys on your keyboard, and click the icon of the unresponsive app in the Dock. Select Force Quit from the menu that appears.
    Open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder or the Spotlight menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Activity monitor window. Choose Quit Process from the View menu, or click the Force Quit button in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window.
    If you cannot switch from the unresponsive app, press Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds to force it to quit. This key combination tells OS X to force quit the frontmost app.

  • Some YouTube links won't open

    Sometimes a YouTube link won't open in a message in Apple Mail. The YouTube window opens when the link is clicked, but after trying to start the movie, says: "an error occurred, please try again later". I checked the finder-window-activity pane as ordered, and there were 6 of about 20 items that said "forbidden" in red letters. It gave no instructions on how to fix them, however.
    These same links open on our MacBook laptop and iPad with no problem! What gives?
    I tried to post this earlier, and got no response after a week. I reformulated the question with more information.
    Thanks

  • PDF won't open from website first time...second time works.

    Frequently, when I click on a PDF on a website and a new tab opens in Chrome to display the file, all I get is a blank page. 
    If I leave the blank page open, navigate back to the web page and click again, the document will open everytime. 
    This behavior is frequent and repeatable for many of my favorite websites.
    Occasionally, if I leave the page to navigate other tabs, the document appears when I return.  However, If I sit and stare at the
    blank page the document never fills.
    OS is Windows 7/64.
    Browser is Google Chrome Version 32.0.1700.102 m
    Any ideas?

    Chrome plug-in is already Disabled.  There is a plug-in for Adobe Reader labeled as "Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.9" and it is enabled.
    Is there a separate Chrome plug-in for Adobe Reader?
    Edit: Here's some more information.  This problem seems closely related to two things. 
    1) If I'm asked for permission from this site to open the PDF and I allow access for "this time only", the PDF opens.  If I always allow access from this site the problem occurs.
    2) If the website wants to open the PDF in the same tab, the file opens.  If the webwite opens the PDF in a separate tab the problem occurs.  If I Ctrl-Click the link to force opening in a new tab, the problem occurs.

  • Anyone know why pdf links won't open? also- malware has hijacked the downloadable file available when clicking on Adobe's file:

    Changed OS to Mavericks & pdf links from websites won't open. I also had private browsing on  in safari.
    I have acrobat 10.1.10.  I tried to update it when prompted  by auto-updates and it said it can't because  the product has been changed since installed. that can only be the switch to mavericks osx. But it might have prompted me to get version 11 though I only have version 10 & I did the version 10 update in mid-Sept.
    Then, I tried going to adobe.com, searched "upda" and got a list of the cs items with icons, plus two text only links, one was acrobat for mac and the last one, "Update manager update (Mac OS)". It said it is to "resolve a common issue with Adobe Update manager on Mac OS". I cliucked that and got some bogus file. When I hit the button on adobe's site, it shows that the file name should be Adobeupdatemanager403.dmg or something very similar to that. Instead in the download list /box I got " installjdownloader.dmg"  I clicked it once & saw terms of service in which they will switch you to use only their search engine, serve ads, etc. So luckily I didn't install it.
    Does adobe need to investigate this malware problem? Others might search the way I did.
    Anyway, this all started because after installing mavericks, i can't open any pdfs from the web.
    Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance.

  • Flash Application for Mac won't open from DVD disc

    I've created a Flash application for a Mac and I have the latest security fix/update for Flash (that was supposed to fix Flash Players and etc.). I've burned the file onto a CD and a DVD. The file plays/opens from the CD but it won't play from the DVD.
    Has anyone run into this before?

    Well I found some sort of solution. I was burning both discs from a PC. I finally burned the DVD from a Mac and now it works!
