Is there a way for me to convert a Google Maps URL to an Apple Maps-friendly format so it opens in the correct place? I might be in the minority, but where I am, Apple Maps offers vastly superior driving directions.

Given a text with a link inside:  Prior to iOS 13, i could long press a word that was not part of the URL to select the word, then drag the finger over a word in the URL to select only that word of the URL, without opening the URL. In iOS 13 this is not possible anymore. When dragging the selection of a single word, the selection gets extended with additional words. How can I select a single word in a URL to copy the word without opening the URL?

Using the URL schemes - findmy://friend or friends - findmy://devices - findmy://items opens the FindMy.app with the respective tab. But has anyone figured out whether it's possible to also activate/mark a specific item (say: a particular AirTag) directly in the list of items via URL scheme, something like findmy://items?MyBicycleAirTag?

The iOS Settings app provides an URL scheme (prefs:) which can be used to open the app directly on a particular page from other apps, in particular, shortcut apps such as [Launch Center](http://appcubby.com/launch-center/) . There are [various](http://www.iphonehacks.com/2011/11/how-to-create-custom-home-screen-shortcuts-for-settings-toggles-without-jailbreaking.html) [pages](http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/11/11/how-to-create-custom-shortcuts-to-wifi-settings-airplane-mode-and-more-no-jailbreak-required/) on the web that have a list of some of the URLs, but these pages all seem to provide the same subset, and I know there is [at least one shortcut](http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/11/11/how-to-create-custom-shortcuts-to-wifi-settings-airplane-mode-and-more-no-jailbreak-required/#comment-361963429) that's not included. In fact, I'd imagine that *every* page in Settings will have it's own URL. Can anyone provide the complete list of URLs for the Settings app?

I have a Laravel view (hosted locally on my machine via Herd) that contains about 1,500 images, each with some text. The images are smaller, reduced-size thumbnails of original files; the thumbnails are stored in the Github project folder (taking up about 150 MB in total), but the original files (about 85 GB) are not. Each thumbnail is a link to the original file on disk: ``. The objective is to be able to open the full-size image in a new tab simply by clicking the link. Most of the original files are TIFF, and since [Chrome and Firefox don’t support TIFF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Image_format_support) (the file is downloaded instead of displayed), Safari is the only viable option for what I want. By default, the when hovering over a link, the hand cursor is shown and the target URL is displayed in the little hover element bottom left, but clicking the link does nothing, and there are no _Open_ options in the context menu. Disabling cross-origin restrictions in _Preferences_ > _Developer_ > _Security_ makes the _Open_ options appear, but: 1. As far as I can tell, this disables **all** cross-origin restrictions, for **every** file and request type on every domain – massive security risk that I don’t really want to take 2. Right-clicking and choosing _Open link in new tab_ now works, but just clicking still doesn’t – it reloads the page with a message that, “This page was reloaded because a problem occurred” (not sure if this is a bug or due to something else). So what I’m looking for is something that will allow me to: - Allow links to local files from web pages, but _only_ locally hosted web pages (i.e., hosted under localhost or *.test) - Enable me to regular-click on such links and actually open the target file **Is this currently possible in Safari?**

I found a strange behaviour on Safari that seems to be affecting URL sharing. If I copy the url by selecting all coping it I can share the full link. Such as www.somesite.com/somepage?params=somename&urlparams=someothername When I copy paste a link by using "copy" from the menu, all the url params that are in the url are gone and I can only copy paste this: www.somesite.com/somepage Is there a bug on safari or some option that stops params from being shared? Currently this happens on: software version 15.4

Right now I have a reminder in the Reminders app with a URL attached, that passes in this deep link: prefs:root=DO_NOT_DISTURB\* to the do not disturb section in the settings app, to a shortcut so the shortcut can open it: shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=Set%20Do%20Not%20Disturb&input=text&text=prefs:root=DO_NOT_DISTURB. Here's a sample shortcut to show it: [https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/835b819d24c14386b8f6e072d034e3b3](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/835b819d24c14386b8f6e072d034e3b3) . The shortcut actions for doing so are in the photo below. I want a URL that can take me to the section in the Settings app directly from the reminder without having to pass it through a shortcut first. I tried variations of URLs like prefs://root=DO_NOT_DISTURB, prefs://=DO_NOT_DISTURB, prefs://?root=DO_NOT_DISTURB, and prefs://DO_NOT_DISTURB from this page but they didn't work: [https://github.com/bhagyas/app-urls?tab=readme-ov-file#settingsapp-preferences](https://github.com/bhagyas/app-urls?tab=readme-ov-file#settingsapp-preferences) . \* There's a whole list of settings deep links if you want to see: [https://github.com/FifiTheBulldog/ios-settings-urls/](https://github.com/FifiTheBulldog/ios-settings-urls/) **(I took these screenshots on macOS but the link and shortcut only works on iOS)**

Like many former Mint users who had to transition to Credit Karma, I am frustrated by how many steps it takes to get to the data I want to see. Recently Credit Karma sent me a promotional e-mail with a button that took me directly to the Transactions page in the app. I would like to make an icon on my iOS home screen that does the same. I extracted the URL from the e-mail. It is: https://www.creditkarma.com/u/networth/transactions When I click on this in iOS, it takes me directly to the Transactions page in the app, as I hoped . To create an iOS home screen icon for a website, you need to open the website in Safari, but the first challenge was that when I opened the above URL in Safari, it redirected to the Intuit login page instead and that page did not seem to have the ability to open the app. I found that if I turned on Airplane mode , I could open the link in Safari (it would not load, obviously, but neither would it redirect). When I created a Home Screen icon from that, it **almost** works: it takes me to an Intuit login page with the following banner offering to open the app: [](https://i.sstatic.net/gYyO85kI.png) When I click "Open" I am taken to the Transactions page, which is what I want, but is not the same one-click behavior I got from the original link. So my question is, can anyone suggest a way to get this to work in one click? **Footnotes:** Clarification: it may take me to the login page the first time, but once I click the "Open" then subsequent clicks will take me directly to the app. The icon, however, always requires the extra step of visiting the login page. The following question seems to suggest the same workaround https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15883736/how-to-have-a-custom-url-for-an-icon-on-the-ios-home-screen . They also suggest an "iPhone Configuration Utility", but I can't find a link to that anywhere!

Is it possible to have an url that links to an individual email message on my local machine? So that if I click on osxmail://759847982 my mail client will open that specific message. GMail can do this, but I wonder if it's possible in a native client. I'm open to any application, it doesn't have to be Apple Mail.

In Safari, is there a keyboard shortcut to move to the next URL link on webpage. For example if I do a Google search that returns a full page of URL links, is there a keyboard shortcut to move the focus to the next link on the page?

When opening a Zoom link in Safari, I'm typically prompted to allow Safari to open the Zoom app. Recently, with Safari 17, there's now an option to "Always Allow" Safari to open Zoom to handle links of this type, which I clicked. However, I would now like to rescind that "Always Allow" permission and go back to having Safari ask me every time. The reason is that I need to frequently switch Zoom accounts between two different SSO-enabled logins, and as soon as I try to switch accounts, Zoom opens Safari, which quickly logs me in to the account I'm trying to log *out* of, and then Safari re-launches Zoom with me logged back into the account I'm trying to leave. This makes it very difficult for me to switch accounts. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Zoom, I've manually edited com.apple.LaunchServices.plist in Xcode to remove any entries associated with Zoom, but neither step has fixed the issue. If I change my default browser to Firefox, then I am once again prompted. I suspect that Safari is using some OS-wide settings whereas Firefox probably maintains its own link of what to do with various URI's.

I can create a hyperlink within a document in e.g. TextEdit, and set the URL of the hyperlink to file:///path/to/my-file.txt. When I click on the hyperlink, I want my-file.txt to open in the default application for that file type. Instead, when I click on the hyperlink, a Finder window opens with my-file.txt selected. This happens with every file type and every application that I've tried. Is there a way to change macOS's behavior here?

Sorry for the stupid wording, I'm really new to this. I'm trying to essentially create a URL to the apple translate app, so that when I click on the URL it automatically translates text from my anki app. here is an example I have of one working with another app 大辞林 So ideally what I would have is something like this, if it was possible. Translate Please let me know if there is any solution. I greatly appreciate the help thanks Perhaps if this isn't possible is there a workaround using the shortcuts app?

I have a device with a web-based control panel, and accidentally set it to redirect all http pages to https, even though some don't work over https. Although I've since corrected this, Safari seems to have memorised the redirect and is refusing to forget it, instead constantly attempting to redirect me to the invalid https address. I've already closed Safari, cleared ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ and ~/Library/Cookies/HSTS.plist but it still seems to be remembering the redirect when I re-open it. Where else could Safari be storing this information? I can access the correct page via Firefox or Chrome, so it may not be a system wide service, or if it is it's not one that the other browsers use. Unfortunately because the web-panel is provided by a device I don't believe I can adjust headers or setup a redirect back to the correct URL, which seem to be options offered in other similar questions, so I really need to find out where this data is being stored so I can destroy it with fire.

Is it possible to select all of the hyperlinks in a document? I want to change the colours for every link in the document but it seems a bit odd that i have to go through all of them manually.

I'm on Mountain Lion and in Apple Mail whenever I click a link in an email it opens my browser in front of Mail. I'd like to keep reading the email and open all links behind Mail, then switch to my browser and read the links later. I'm aware of right clicking a link and selecting "Open Link Behind Mail", and I know of the "command-click" method to achieve that. But I want that to be the default behavior, so I don't have to do any extra clicking, I just want the links to **always** open in the background. How do I set it to do that?

If I call a website with an unknown "tld" like .loc, then safari is removing the scheme (in this case http://). This means that Safari will do a quick search, if I want to change something in the url. Example: I call a website http://foo-project.loc/bar/baz . The website is getting opened.
If I want to change baz to boo, then Safari opens a Google quick search. How can I prevent Safari from removing the scheme from the url, because I actually like it to quick search in the url bar.

in the past, I used to click an URL to a local file in any application (e.g., TextEdit) and the finder or [Path Finder](https://cocoatech.com/#/) would open. An example for such an URL is file:///Users/username/Library/Mobile%20Documents/com~apple~Keynote/Documents/hgs%20demo.key, that points in fact to a file on iCloud. Now, when I click on such a link from say TextEdit (but also other software like in the notes section of a task in OmniFocus), nothing happens anymore. When I paste it into the URL field of a browser, the file does open however. Is there a way on macOS to set applications that open certain kinds of URLs? For example, OmniFocus ["knows" / is associated with](https://inside.omnifocus.com/url-schemes) omnifocus:///...` → Can I tell the Finder (or Path Finder) to be associated with file:///... (such that it would open a window with the associated path)? Or how can I re-enforce this association? Thanks for your help.

I'm unable to open the Salesforce links in Salesforce App. The links are directly opening in Safari, but they need to open in the Salesforce App rather than the browser. Is there some settings involved so that iOS is able to recognise the App by clicking on a link? How do I get this to work?

I have tried messages//emailaddress but I am told that it just opens the Messages app on iPhones, not a new message to the user (on my Mac it opens that specific users thread).
