Attachments not showing when composing emails

Hello.
For some reason I don't know, Mail has suddenly stopped displaying attachments I insert when composing emails. No matter what file type, it displays the Lego cube with the question mark instead of the attachment. (Note: NOT the little blue square with a question mark which indicates a file missing etc.)
However, people receive them just fine and I receive attachments just fine myself. I also receive my own attachments when I send an email to the office mailing list (which includes myself).
It is only when I compose an email that I am not seeing the things I attach. Not the correct file icon, not the file name or size, not the 'show attachments as...' option. Nothing. Just the blue Lego-type cubes with the question mark.
I have set the Preference in Composing to Rich Text, we use an IMAP server in the office but I am the only one suffering this problem and I don't know what has changed as it was working just fine until a few weeks ago!
Any help would be appreciated as it is extremely irritating, if anything because I don't know why.

Hi,
What if you do a All Mailbox search, are you able to see the specific mail item in the result list?
You might need to check your view setting of that folder. Maybe you have it set for unread mail only, or some settings are filtering out the messages you just moved.
Just highlight the folder, then click View in the ribbon, then click
View Settings. Click Filter... button on the dialog, then clear any related settings or click
Clear All button.
Thanks,

Attachments not showing when email message printed

Attachments not included when forwarding email from iphone to winmo device

Yes I clicked to have the attachment added. If I forward an email with an attachment to someone on their windows mobile device they can't see it. They can see it in their desktop outlook but not on their device. I am using an exchange server in case you were wondering.
Any help with this would be fantastic.
Thanks

Not sure where the problem lies with the iPhone or if this is a problem with the iPhone if the attachment is available when viewing the received email with Outlook on their computer, but not with their Windows Mobile email client.

Email contacts don't show up when composing email

Hi,
I recently got an iPad2 and added a couple of email accounts including gmail and yahoo mail. However, i noticed a key difference when composing email from an iPad rather than on an Iphone.
On my iPhone4 when I compose an email and in the 'To:' address field I start typing the name of my contact iphone is able to search from my contact list from my gmail account, however this does not happen on the Ipad.
Any idea how to fix this?
I have set-up my email accounts in the same way as I did on my phone.
Thanks very much

It also work on the iPad, so try to turn off/on your iPad or a reset, keep the On/off button and the Home button pressed at the same time till you see the Apple logo in your screen.

Email address list populated drop down disappearing on the to / cc / bcc fields when composing emails

First the symptoms:
As far as I can see this effects only the v5.0 RIM OS. We have a multitude of users and the ones who are affected all shared the same trait: they had newer, v5.0 OS preinstalled on their BBerries. The ones with v4.7 never had the problem (might be a coinsidence, nothing solid here)
The user cannot see a drop down of email addresses prepopulated with the recently used ones, and with the option to "lookup" the email address. User starts typing the email address, and no drop down is shown while composing email.
If the user manually types in the email address into the To, Cc or BCc fields, the adress will not be permanent and the email will not be sent at all. The "send" menu item will not be visible when the track ball is pressed.
Quick remedy to send emails:
Hit the enter key after typing in the email address. Do NOT switch to the next row using the track ball, or pressing the trackball. Hit the enter key. Then you will be able to send the email.
Backing up the user files and wiping the handset and re-installing the OS seems to resolve the issue, alas, one user had the same problem again in a month after the operation. So that is NOT a permanent solution.
Funny fix: On the affected device, go to email options -> Options / General Options / "Show recent contacts when composing email" and just switch it to whatever is in there. If it is Yes, make it No, if it is No, make it yes. Then save. And the drop down should become visible again. Counter-intuitively, this setting was YES on on affected device, we switched it to No just for the sake of having made a change, saved the settings and the drop down became visible with the setting at "NO". When we switched it back to "YES" the drop down became invisible again

Once you have the Write window open, press F9 to open the Contact Sidebar. Select your contacts from there.

Attachments not showing as attachments in mail

Why are my attachments not showing up as attachments when recieved. They are sent from Mail as windows "friendly" - but never the less always show up inlaid in the mail. The recipient then have to ctrl clik on the documents, save them on the harddrive before being able to fx print.
very annoying indeed - please can anyone help on this :-)

thanks for quick responce - but the problem lies with the recievers of MY mails - where the attachments is only inlaid and not showing as an attachment. The reciever then have problems opening attachments in i.e. Photoshop, and they cannot print the attachments directly from the mail..

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

Preview icon not showing when in thumbnail. (Sketchu

Hello,
I recently updated my MBP to Yosemite and installed sketchup on it.
The preview icon of my sketchup files are not showing when in thumbnail. But as i increase the size of the icon from thumbnail in viewoption i.e from 64px x 64px to 124px x 124px it shows. So my icon is shown as blank without any app logo. Also when i change my view from thumbnail to coverflow or something it shows. Otherthan thumbnail everything works.
So where is the error in it?
Please help...
Thanks
Amar

Try the standard fixes:
- Rest. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. - Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
