When I click links in Mail, it opens Safari, I don't want that

When I click links in Mail, it opens Safari, I don't want that, I want Firefox to open, how do I change the default?
I saw no options in either Mail (4.6) or in System Preferences. Very annoying since I never chose that.

Open Safari or Firefox and change the default web browser.

  • TS3212 I just installed iTunes (from the apple site) on to my new laptop.  When I click on the icon to open I get a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  Now what do I do and ho

    I just installed iTunes on my new laptop.  When I click on the desktop icon I receive a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.  I can't even find a file on my computer like the one referred to in the pop up.  I am currently considering keeping my old laptop if it is the only way for me to continue to access iTunes.  What should I do to fix this?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

  • New FCPX Cache Library on open. I don't want that

    Does anyone know why FCPX creates a new Cache Library for me when I open it instead of using the 800GB Cache Library I had been using for months? I even go to Modify Library Properties and reselect the folder where my large Cache with all my project's render files is and it still creates a new library for me. It would be a huge time waste to rerender all my 50 plus projects.
    thanks

    Russ, I will give you the cache storage location as soon as I get to the office tomorrow morning. As far as why I need this relinking to happen, I have a library with 25 events and each event has about 6 projects each with at least two high render-time effects throughout the whole timeline. This whole render file cache library is about 800gb large and it took me at least two days of rendering on a 2014 top of the line 8-core Mac Pro. I just don't want to spend the computer time doing that if I already have those render files done.
    Thanks for showing interest in this and helping out. Have a great day

  • How Do I Get Safari To Pull Up My AOL When I Click On A Mail Link On A Web?

    How Do I Get Safari To Pull Up My AOL Instead Of Entourage When I Click On A Mail Link On A Web?
    THANK YOU!!

    Open an application which lets you change the default email client, such as Mail, and change it. This setting isn't in Safari itself.

    When I click on my mail icon nothing happens...it won't open or quit (so I can't shut down my computer). What's going on?

    Which Mail icon? That in the Applications folder, that in the Dock, or some other? You do not have to quit your applications in order to shut down your computer (heck, you hardly ever need to shut down your computer).

  • 2 windows open up when I click on my Mail App

    Good day,
    I just noticed that 2 widows open up when I click on my "mail" app.
    I has been doing it after the 10.8 upgrade; actually it started doing it on my first "notifiction" click for a new email.
    Anyone know the solution for this problem?
    Thanks

    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Multiple tabs open when I click on a file to open, like a PDF file. It open tab after tab and will not stop, any ideas?

    when I click on a PDF file in an email or other formats that open the browser it opens up tab after tab, after tab and does not stop till I close the browner down.

    It isnt a certain file type, it is all files Including word docs, excel spreadsheets, pdf's ect.. I remember Firefox asking me if I wanted to make this my default action when I clicked on a link, and I choose to make it such. I would like to change it back so I can choose whether I open/view the file or save it to my drive.

  • When I click on Web mail I get "The connection has time out

    When I click on "Web Mail" from Glossbrenner United Methodist Church web page, it won't log on to my email page. I keep getting - The connection has time out
    The server at 74.220.207.173 is taking too long to respond.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy....
    If you are unable to load any pages, check you computers' network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall.....

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Ifou don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • When I click links in another program, they do not work

    I often use Skype to talk to friends, and Twhirl for Twitter. Typically, when I click links in these programs, they open in Firefox. But, last night, Firefox crashed. When I started it back up, Windows asked is I wanted to allow FF to make changes to my computer. I said yes, figuring it was updating something.
    After this, when I clicked a link in Skype, it asked if I wanted to allow changes to my hard drive, again. I click yes, and the link would open. But, whenever I click a link in Twhirl, nothing happens at all. And even Skype isn't doing anything, just like Twhirl.
    I've tried restarting Firefox, Skype and Twhirl, and my computer itself with no luck.

    Make sure that Firefox is set as the default browser.
    See [[How to make Firefox the default browser]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

  • When I click on the mail icon on my iPad 2 the mail accounts do not show up.

    iPad 2 32GB Version 8.1.1
    When I click on the Mail icon, the mail accounts do not appear. The screen is blank except in the he upper right corner of the screen I can see mini icons: flag, folder, file box, arrow, and pad/pencil mini icon.
    I've been having a number of issues with Facebook ever since I upgraded to Version 8, so I don't know if this is a version issue or something else.
    I've tried rebooting/restarting, etc. Nada.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Close all apps and then reset the iPad. If that does work, reset all settings.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again.
    FWIW, I don't use Facebook at all, the app or in a browser, but I have read more that a few posts here where people that use the app all the time claim that is very buggy and causes all sorts of problems for them. Maybe closing the app along with the reset will help.

  • TS3276 I get Apple Mail through having activated POP in gmail. Since a week, when I click on "Get Mail", after a delay I see brielfly flashing "Incoming message 70 etc." but it dissapears and no mails gets downloaded. How to proceed?

    I get Apple Mail through having activated POP in gmail. Since a week, when I click on "Get Mail", after a delay I see brielfly flashing "Incoming message 70 or whathever the number in waiting is." and the green band extends to the end of the line in a fraction of a seconde, but then dissapears and no mails gets downloaded. It is not a matter of password etc.. that are all OK. Strangely, yesterdays, some email did come through after a few days of failure, but not anymore. Could it be related to hacking or something like that? Any thing I could try?
    I have OX 10.6.8.
    Many thanks for your kind suggestions

    Could someone help me restore my photos?  I was trying to "restore my database" in iPhoto when it shut down - now my thumbnails are distorted, logged under a new name, and when you click on a thumbnail it opens as another photo.  I was following another "helpful hint" hold down the option and command key and restart iPhoto - select the top three and you should be able to get rid of the dreaded exclamation point.  My MAC ran through the first two options dealing with thumbnails, but crashed during the "restore database"  step and now I have a mess.  Help, please.  Thank you.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
