Whenever I click on an email address it used to allow me to compose using the mail app. Now it opens up aol in my chrome browser. How do I change it back?

I am not sure how or when I changed the settings. I just noticed two days ago it began doing this.

Open Apple's Mail application. Go to the Mail menu and select Preferences. Select the General tab. Where it says Default Email Reader, select the Mail application rather than AOL.
Best of luck.

  • I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • By mistake I have lost My "Firefox" that was in the English language & instead I have one in a foreign language. How do I change it back yo English?

    I have an apple computer.A week or so ago a window appeared that ask if I wanted an upgrade on Mozilla Firefox & if so click on "Install" which I did. Somehow by mistake this changed my Firefox program from the English language to a foreign language.( I think it might be "Turkish" but not sure.) How do I change it back to English?

    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.<br />
    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    For an unofficial Firefox 9 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • When I click on an email address, new tabs continues to pop up one after the other.

    Hey...
    When I like to copy and paste '''email addresses''' from excel, word or any other software, Firefox opens new tabs one after another, so many that you must Force Quit Firefox on my Mac computer for it to stop, and I don't know how to disable Firefox from doing that in the future. It doesn't stop-it continues on and on opening new tabs.

    You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

  • HT2731 . I have maanaged to change my apple ID to my new email address but I know that billing info related to my old job is still there but I can't find where/how I can change his? Help please!

    I have recently changed jobs but kept my iPad. I have managed to change my apple ID to my new (personal) email address which is fine but I know I have previously bought stuff from the App Store so need to also be changing my billing/account details but I cannot find where/how to do this. Can someone help pleas?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

  • How do I change my email address when using the ap store

    When trying to purchase an app I'm asked for my password but my email address
    Is wrong how do I change it

    hmm. That's strange. I've always been able to do that before on the previous iTunes. Did you go to itunes store? It should have your email address on the top right hand side. Click on it, and you should be able to log out and then log into a different account.
    or, make a new account

  • Can I get a Mac email address without using the cloud?

    Can I get a Mac email address without having to use the cloud?  The OS on my desktop computer has not been upgraded to support it yet, but my phone will.

    Apple don't provide @mac.com addresses anymore. They haven't done for years.
    You can get an @me.com email address but ony by signing up for iCloud on an iOS device or Mac.

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I have an iPad Air.  The header when in Safari has turned to a black background.  How do I change it back ??

  • I connected my brothers 6plus to my iTunes and i showed that i could back up his old 5 info or a new phone so i chose the 5 and now all of his 6plus data is gone! how do i get it back?

    i connected my brothers iPhone 6plus onto my iTunes and it showed up that i could choose to back it up as a new phone or to an existing iPhone so i chose his old iPhone 5 and after the backup he went on his phone and everything that he had from his iPhone 6plus was gone and changed to what he had on his old iPhone 5! how can i get all the pictures and contacts from his 6plus back onto it?

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • I backed up my IPhone 4s to my computer then I got the iPhone 6 and backed that up on the same computer now my iPhone 6 is like an iPhone 4s how do I get it back to an iPhone 6?

    I Have recently gotten an iPhone 6. I had an iPhone 4s before. I used iTunes to back up my iPhone 4s and worked fine. Now that I have an iPhone 6 I backed it up to the same computer, same iTunes, it then restored my old phone into my new phone. How do I get the original iPhone 6 back without taking all the original data I have on it now off?

    You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

  • Safari 5.0.6 opens in landscape always on one profile . how can I change this back to portrait mode . Thank you .

    Frustrated in that I am unable to reset Safari to open in portrait mode in my profile (Admin) . It continually opens in landscape . Other 2 profiles on the iMac open always in portrait mode . Have tried resetting Safari , reviewed Safari Preference & System Preferences but can't find the option . Please help a frustrated nerd .

    Not sure what you mean by portrait and landscape. Are you referring to full screen mode by chance?
    Click View from the Safari menu bar top of your screen. From the drop down menu you can click Enter or Exit Full Screen.
    With Safari open, Command + , (comma) opens Safari Preferences. Or from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences.
    There aren't any options for full screen mode in Safari > Preferences... only from the menu bar, (View).

  • Once in the Mail app and have opened and email, what do the icons mean?

    I am able to open an email on my iPod touch but I do not know what the 5 icons at the bottom of the screen do. I know one is to reply, and one is to create a new message but that's it. Can anybody help me? Especially about the middle icon which looks like a box with an arrow on top.

    Hello GenevaMorley,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Perhaps you should take a look at the Chapter on Mail from your iPod's *User Guide*. It should be able to answer questions such as these.
