Can not attach photos using Yahoo email account

I am new to the Mac OPS and maybe it is just something that I do not know, but why can't I attach photos to an email using my Yahoo email account? I have read the way to change the preference of email providers, ie: entourage or mac mail. But I have neither accounts. I was just wondering if there was a way to do this, or if the program could be updated so that it could be possible.

Yahoo email is a service not an application. If you have the Pro version of this service then you can set it to work with one of the applications in the iPhoto preferences. Otherwise you'll need to use one of these:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Why can not attach photo from iPad

I can not attach photo to my email?
I can not crop image for Facebook profile picture

Start in the Photos app and then select the photos that you want to attach to an email - in full screen view tap the icon at the top of the screen of the box with the arrow coming out of it and select Email Photo; in thumbnail view after tapping that same icon you can select up to 5 photos and then tap the Email button top left.
In terms of cropping photos the free Adobe Photoshop Express app allows cropping: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-express/id331975235?mt=8
There are a number of facebook apps that you can use to upload photos to Facebook e.g. the 'official' facebook app : http://itunes.apple.com/in/app/facebook/id284882215?mt=8 (it's optimised for the iPhone but you can upload photos via it), and Friendly For Facebook : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendly-for-facebook/id400169658?mt=8

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Yes.
Open a new email and touch and hold in the body of the email, when you release you should see "insert photo or video" select that then choose the desired photos. Alternately you may go to your photos and select the photo(s) you wish to send and press the "share" button looks like a box with a arrow coming out of it. Once you press share you can choose email.

Cannot attach files to Yahoo email account since new Safari installed

Hello. I don’t know why, but since I installed the new Safari update, I’ve been having trouble attaching files to my Yahoo email account. The entire Safari just sort of freezes. I can’t even click on anything.
Another minor but irritating problem since the installment: sometime video clips cannot be played (like on Youtube). I would have to quit and reopen to get to usual condition.
Anyone know how to solve these problems? Thanks!

HI,
The problem is BrowserPlus. It's not compatible with Safari 5.
Instructions for uninstalling BrowserPlus here. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/browserplus/uninstall.html
If you don't want to do that, you revert to the previous version of Safari, instructions here.
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/downgrade-from-safari-5-0-to-safari-4-0-5/
Then update to Safari 5 at a later date.

Can't attach files in yahoo email with Lion

After installing Lion, I'm unable to attach files from my Yahoo email account.!x?
Also, I am unable to print from my Epson NX 400 printer as Epson has provided an update for Mac OS X v10.7+
Anyone have recommendations to correct issues, other than deleting Lion and reistalling Snow Leopard?

antivirus was not a problem since there was not one installed. Firewall settings are fine. I did just finally resolve this issue. Spyhunter was able to detect a couple of hijackers that the other programs did not and this fixed the problem. As I stated in the original post I did suspect this was the issue. The lesson learned is to run multiple malware programs until you find one that eliminates the problem if you suspect malware as the problem.

Why can't I attach files using Yahoo email? I've clicked on 'Attach files more easily' and nothing happens. With all other browsers, I have no issues attaching files.

I want to attach Word files to some of my yahoo emails. Instead of the word 'attach' like on all other browsers, Fierfox wants me to click on 'Attach files more easily' and download this. Nothing happens leaving me unable to use Firefox if I wish to use my yahoo email and send attachments, files or pics.

The only way I can open a PDF is to launch the Reader X software and click "open files" from there. Obviously, this doesn't help me since I need to email PDFs to clients, and printing 'n faxing isn't an option.
You don't need Adobe Reader to email PDFs to clients.

For those who find this incredibly painful to read,

Can not attach files to certain mail accounts in mail

I have three e-mail accounts (pop3) which I use Mail to get and send mail. But it seems I can only attach files to one account and not the other two accounts. the only workaround I found is to start attaching the files to the account which can take attachments and before I sent switch to the other account. Surprisingly the Attachment stays.
any idea

Hi Caroline,
Are you trying to attach a file to the message without typing anything in the message body? You need to have typed something, even a space, in the message body before attachments will attach.
Not sure exactly when, but this has been a 'feature' of Mail for a while now, and one that I personally dislike.

URLs are not "live" in my Yahoo email account since I switched to Firefox. How can I make the URL in my signature line live?

I put an automatic signature beneath each outgoing email, and that signature includes a URL. I've sent emails to myself in both my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts, and the URL does not come through as live. That is, I can't just click on it and go. I have to copy/paste it into a browser window, and most people won't do that. It's a full URL:

HP Photosmart Premium C309g Can not print Photos using small paper tray.

When I try to print using small paper tray, I get a message that states: "out of paper, add paper to main tray".
I have had this printer about 18 mos but have never tried printing found the small paper tray.
Does anyone have a solution to this ??

Hi,
Fisrt off all check if the paper tray is correctly on the unit, so take it of and replace it. Second go into printing preferances, select photo printing and find where you can select tha paper source, put it on phototray and try again.
Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.
Although I work for HP my posts and replies are my own
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"

I can not get to my yahoo email with F4. Everything I click on comes up "Not found. The requested URL /mc/showMessage was not found on this server."

MF4 doesn't work with yahoo email

Since something is not being found on the server the problem here is not with Firefox most likely. There may be some type of caching going on here. I would suggest clearing your cache and if the problem persists contacting Yahoo. You can clear your cache by following the instructions found on this page [[How to clear the cache]].
