Why doesn't mail automatically open up when Im trying to share a doc?

I used to be able to press share, change my doc to a PDF and it would automatically be placed into a mail ready to address and send.  Now all of a sudden it won't open up in mail.

I have the same problem. I have not seen any effort by the Apple to fix this Its a very big Flaw. I think they are happy with it.

  • Why doesn't iPhoto automatically open Mac Mail?

    I'm hating iPhoto at the moment.  I use Mac Mail so that I can keep track of sent mail.  iPhoto doesn't do this.  For example, I just discovered that  a dead email account was still on the list in iPhoto preferences, so I'm not sure if the email I just sent went using my current or my old address.  I naturally went to Mac Mail to check my sent list, but there is no indication that I sent an email to anyone.
    I also do not like typing the email  within a browser window.  I would much prefer it when I click "share" that Mac Mail would automatically open.
    I really, really wish Apple would solve this problem.

    Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the mail account that's there.  Then add it back and try Mail again.

  • Why doesn't Mail automatically retry a down mail server?

    Mail has a bit of an annoying problem: when a mail server becomes unreachable for some reason, it takes that account offline, and that account remains offline during subsequent mail checks until the uesr manually takes it online again. Since I use Mail with the favorites bar and the source pane hidden, it happens occasionally that I'm surprised that I haven't received a message, and it turns out that it's because that account has remained offline in Mail and needs to be taken online.
    Is there some solution to this?

  • On the iPhone, when the server rejects the email address and it sits in the outbox, why doesn't it automatically resend when the server is fixed?

    On the iPhone, when the server rejects the email address and it sits in the outbox, why doesn't it automatically resend when the server is fixed?

    Hi Razmee,
    Thanks for your response.
    The mail server worked when I originally set it up and continued to work for months afterwards.
    What would make the outgoing mail server not be set up correctly after all that time?
    Thanks again.

    This is probabaly caused by the resume feature. When you log out, uncheck the box that appears.

  • Why do some applications automatically open at startup

    I just installed mountain lion.  I noticed that when the computer starts up microsoft windows and excel open automatically.  I have another application that does it sometimes as well.  why do some applications automatically open at startup?  How can I change this?

    Quit them before shutting down the computer, and check the list of login items in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.

  • ICloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail.  Anyone experiencing this and what is apple doing about this?

    I like many have been experiencing mail problems since I migrated to iCloud.  Was working fine for a bit, then I now either get crashes or a revolving beachball when I attempt to type an email address.  Have tried quitting and rebooting...you name it.  What is Apple saying or doing to fix the problem.  Been like this all weekend.

    iCloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail. 
    That doesn't necessarily mean the mail is down in iCloud.
    You can always check iCloud system status here.
    If you are using Safari to access iCloud.com, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
    Now go the menu bar again and click Safari / Reset Safari.
    Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
    Quit then relaunch Safari, go to iCloud.com
    Try Mail.

    I have CS2 and I use it almost every day.. Today when I tried to launch it, a prompt came up saying my Activation was no longer valid and it closed automatically.  Then when I tried to re-open it, a prompt came up saying "A serious error has occured"  Please re-install the software...  I have no idea where my software is... That was many many years ago?  HELP!!

    When you go to the download page, you must do two things:
    Download this file: PhSp_CS2_English.exe on the download page.
    Use the serial number on the download page in order to install your non-activation copy.
    Do not use your old CD or serial number. It no longer works.
    If you have Windows 7, the advice is to turn off UAC and run the installer as Administrator.

  • Why doesn't my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Why doesn’t my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Yes, otherwise some people might have to walk up to the third floor and turn on iMac,
    and then go back down to living room in order to stream form iTunes. My iMac is close,
    but not in same room. There must be something I don't have set up right.

    The only solution to corrupted files is to restore from your back up.

  • Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

    Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
    Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
    Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

    Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
    You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
    While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

    I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account.  On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account.  If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to.  It did not send to back up email account either.
    Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
    Can I have 2 apple ids?
    If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
    (won't let me)
    If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.
