Mail refuses to give up the default e-mail application

Yesterday, I had a problem where I was unable to grant other e-mail applications by default and found the fix on a Web page that seems to have solved the problem and I was then able to select Outlook or Thunderbird as the default email application.

In Terminal, type the following command

/System/Library/frameworks/CoreServices.Framework/versions/A/frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister-tuer - r - all local, system, user

But for some reason, the problem came back today, and Mail does not allow me to grant other default e-mail applications. Someone at - it ideas as to why and how to fix it? Thank you...

Have you try this:

Open Mac Mail > > Preferences > > general tab > > select Microsoft Outlook.app as the default e-mail application.

  • Mac: How do I change the default printer by application

    Hello

    I use a HP OfficeJet 8600 and impossible to find a way to set the default print by application options. When I use my Windows machine he remembers the print by application settings (for example, if I print from Word, it prints the ordinary quality, if I select print in Photoshop, print quality Photo paper).  On the Mac (OS 10.8.5, Macbook Pro) I can't find any way to do it. If I put a print job in Word and the last used printer setting (from Photoshop) is Photo paper, then Word prints using this and uses a lot of ink and is incredibly slow.  Any help?

    Thank you...

    Hello again @winm!

    Thanks for the reply!

    I understand that when Windows printing software in memory settings for Word and Photoshop.  On the side of the things Mac, you will need to make the preset and choose it every time.  You may just be better to choose a quick project for Word and photo paper for Photoshop as you say.  The software in the Mac won't remember automatically.

  • Default e-mail application is not selectable in 10 windows

    I went to the prefrences-Email accounts and this odes have no way of saying use "Mail".

    I also went to Preferences-> Internet > internet settings-> programs-> adjustment of programs and confirmed that Mail has been selected here as well.

  • What is the default identity store - and how can I put it?

    Hello

    I am running Webcenter on WLS and WLS and JPS assistance for authentication of users. On the WLS Console, if I go to areas of security-> myrealm-> providers, I have a list of four different suppliers.

    If I understand correctly, these four vendors are my identity stores. How can I set one as the store identities "by default"? Or see who is currently the default?

    The reason why I ask, is that I have the following code in Webcenter to create a new user in Active Directory:
          // Get the default identity store
          IdentityStore idStore = WCSecurityUtility.getDefaultIdentityStore();
    
          // Get the user manager object
          UserManager usermgr = idStore.getUserManager();
    
          usermgr.createUser(loginName, password.toCharArray(), propertySet);
    So I have a Java utility class that gives me the 'default identity store". Now, I want to change the configuration of WLS so that the Active Directory in which I want to create new users is the storage of identity 'by default'.

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Ludovic

    I'm sure they mean the first in the list, you can reorder them by using the command button and moving them up and down.

  • What provision I should give the user access to applications through Smartview?

    Should what I give to the user to access applications via Smartview Shared Services. ?

    Access to the server would do? Or I have to give something else?

    Requirement is tht the user should be able to retrieve and send data via Smartview.

    You need access to the user with access to the server - this will give the user the possibility to connect to the Essbase server in Smart View only. The user sees all the applications listed.

    Then implement the user as write on each application that you want to see them and to present data.

    Kind regards

  • Problem of the blackBerry Smartphones switching Applications

    Hi all.  I am new to BB in general... but I can say that I wonder why it took me so long to convert!

    Here's my problem... When you press and hold the menu button, it gives you the opportunity to switch applications (home page, Messenger, phone, messages, application Center, browser, etc.).  Well all links put me to the proper place, except the center application.  When I select it, nothing happens.  The "application switching" screen disappears and I go to fullscreen I was looking at previously.  I just want that he take me to the center of the Application when selecting it.  Please help and thanks in advance!

    Note: I tried already to take out the battery and it does not solve the problem.

    OK, I got the problem!  It is not at all a difficult solution, and apparently, many users have this same problem

    Go to the center of the Application, press the Menu key and uncheck the box/deselect 'Auto Refresh List'.  Second, you must remove the battery while the phone is still on and keep it removed for 30 seconds.  Turn back on him and Viola... it will be deleted.  Make sure that the list of auto-refresh is always disabled in the Application Center.

    I guess that the reason why it didn't disappear is in the first place because of the automatic refresh running in background.  But when the setting is deselected, just restart the phone will not remove it.  The battery had to be removed for the phone to restart completely.

  • Setup Eudora as the default e-mail program

    Hello

    Operating system: Win7

    I have always (for the right reasons) sue Eudora as my main e-mail client.  Whenever I installed a Windows Update, Windows set Outlook as my client, but it has been noticed by Eudora which, early on, was told that he was no longer the default client.  I could easily change that by starting Eudora as an administrator and then clicking on the option to make it my default e-mail client.

    BUT from the windows of the last updated, it no longer works and Eudora told me that it was impossible to change the registry (even when starting as an administrator).

    I tried to restore Eudora as the default e-mail program by going to wut Start\Default program that eudora does not appear here and I can't change the (set on Outlook) to Eudora MAPI option because this option is greyed out...

    How can I restore Eudora as my default mail (mainly for the mailto protocol) client?

    I found myself a solution that may be useful to other people faced with the same or similar problems.

    1 each (major) Windows Update and for reasons known only to Microsoft, registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command key has been changed and gives the order to outlook... (even if it was for Eudora before the update).

    2 Eudora could not change this key (and restore the command again to Eudora.exe) even when run as administrator because this key is protected...  (I noticed that I couldn't change the key manually).

    3. However, when I gave permission to administrators to modify this key and restarted the computer, Eudora (run as root) could change the key which now reads: C:\PROGRA~2\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe/m %1, which is what to do...

    So, problem solved, but why Microsoft protected this key during one if its last update remains a mystery.

  • How to change the default e-mail account

    I have 4 email accounts configured in Mail.app. When you compose a new message, it will be by default the account for the selected mailbox, which is great. However, when no particular mailbox is selected (when you view the Inbox combined for example), it is the default account. I want the default to another account.  How can I tell Mail.app account to use?

    Changing the order of the mailbox makes no difference. There is a preference that would allow me to have all new messages come from a certain account, but I don't want that. I want to its default value of the box running mailbox if it exists. I want to just change the value by default when there is no current mailbox selected.

    It is has got to be a way to do that, right?

    Mail > Preferences > accounts (select your main account) > account number > AccountType IMAP 'email address '.

    In your list of aliases move to the top of the list, your primary e-mail address.

  • Addition of Google Chrome, now Safari does not open, impossible to link electronic mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Add Google Chrome, now Safari opens Cannot link e-mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Third party extension and plug-ins?

    If Safari is slow, unresponsive, which closes unexpectedly, or has other issues

    The problem may be caused by a Safari Extension, Internet plug-in or another add-on.

    The safari Extensions, Internet plug-ins, and other modules are designed to improve or customize the browsing experience. Modules are widely available on the Internet, and some are installed as part of an application or other software. If you have Add-ons installed, an add-on might be at the root of the issue.

    If the problem is the unwanted pop-up windows, advertisements and graphics while surfing on the web, discover how to remove the ad-injection (adware) from your Mac software.

    Disable the Safari Extensions

    You can disable Extensions Safari to learn if all are causing the problem.

    1. In the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
    2. Click the Extensions icon, and then select an extension from the list.
    3. Uncheck the box enable disable this extension.

    If turning off an extension solves the problem, look for updates of the extension by clicking Update in the lower left corner of the window. Or remove the extension by clicking on the button uninstall.

    Remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons.

    You can remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons to see if everything is the origin of the problem. To find them, quit Safari and open these folders in library:

    • The library folder at the top level of your hard drive. Open it from the Finder by choosing go > go to folder in the menu bar. Then type /Library and then click OK.
    • The record library in your home folder. Open it by organizing the Option while choosing go > library in the menu bar.

    The folders in the library contains the following folders for modules. Move all the files in these folders to the trash.

    • Internet Plug-Ins
      Do not remove the default Browser.plugin, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Composer.webplugin of Quartz or QuickTime Plugin.plugin.
    • Input methods
    • InputManagers
    • ScriptingAdditions

    If the removal of the files in these folders solves the problem, quit Safari again and gradually put the files until you find the one at the origin of the problem:

    1. Open the Recycle Bin and select one of the files that you removed. Chose file > back up. The file back to its folder.
    2. Open Safari and see if the problem returns.
      • If the issue is returned, you have identified the add-on causing the problem. Do not use or contact its manufacturer for an updated version.
      • If the question does not return, quit Safari and put back another file.

  • Cannot set the default email in apple mail client

    Hi all

    I have a rather unusual problem. I'm on El captain, and I have 16 Mac Office installed (Outlook).

    When I go in my OS X mail client, and go to Preferences-> general-> default mail reader, it shows currently Outlook.

    When I go ahead and select Mail and then close the window and then return the preferences window, it switches back to Outlook.

    I can't set mail as my default mail client, which also live up to my sheet on part of Safari options (shows Outlook, no email).

    Is there another way in the system to set my default mail client, which will remain?

    I went the Outlook preferences, and there is no option to be found to set or no set Outlook as the default e-mail client. Strange.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    D

    You can also set this option in Outlook preferences. Try here. I don't have the app to check where, but I think it is located on the general tab.
