Can't email .pages attachments in gmail

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I cannot email .pages attachments in Google mail. I've been reading that other people are experiencing this problem but everything I've found is from late 2013. Just wondering if there is a fix or workaround to this.
Thank you.

If a person uses Apple's native Mail App that came on the Mac or iOS devices...then is will send attachments of the newest "Mavericks" versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. If a person tries to do this from within a Web Browser it doesn't seem to work (as I've recently tested from information from of our churches staff who only use the Web Interface). So, I'm not sure if Google changed something with thier Web Browser version recently or not, since I've always used the native Mail App on all my Macs and iOS devices.
So, there used to be a problem sending attachments from within the Mail App several months ago...but that was fixed by Apple (again several months ago).
Hope that helps...
I highly recommend using the built in Mail App (Email Client).
Multiple Email Accounts:
An Email Client allows multiple email accounts from different email providers to all be used simultaneous in one simple to use interface without any problematic POP forwarding settings or delayed delivery problems. i.e. It will gather and display email from Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud, AOL, Microsoft Exchange or any other email provider.
Accounts can still be viewed separately or all together:
All email accounts can still be viewed separately or all together with a click of the mouse or a tap of the screen, again without any forwarding settings. i.e. It's great for keeping personal and/or work accounts separate, and it also allows multiple signatures which helps relay professionalism, consistency and saves a little typing, too.
Select Multiple Messages:
A person can select multiple messages (even from different email accounts or email providers), and move, copy, delete, or even forward them all at the same time with a single action.
Work Offline:
It allows a person to continue working offline. i.e. no matter if Wi-Fi or the internet goes down or is unavailable in a certain area.
Advanced Rules and Filtering Based on Multiple Factors:
A person can set rules or advanced rules and filtering based on multiple factors (words, senders, subjects, headers, etc.)
Quick Look:
And, if you’re on a Mac, you can used features like "Quick Look" to view full Microsoft Office or Apple iWorks (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote) documents right inside your Mail App.
No Extra Apps to Download:
As it's already pre-installed on all Apple computers and iOS devices, so it's one less App to download or maintain.
Mac and iOS Versions Both Work Similarly:
Both the desktop and mobile versions work very similarly.
Easy to Maintain:
Apple automatically maintains it with each System Update, which is great for security, too.
Attachments are Easy (with less importing/exporting):
Working with attachments is super easy without any external importing or exporting (for example: items can be imported and exported directly to and from iPhoto, Contacts, Calendars etc. without any duplication).
It takes full advantage of the built in systemwide OS X / iOS features that popup:
Spell Checker
User Learned Spell Checker
Dictation and Speak Selection
Full Thesaurus (no internet required)
Full built in Oxford Dictionary (no internet required)
Wikipedia (on demand with an internet or data plan connection)

I want to view email file attachments in the 6.0 browzer, how?

Operating System XP SP2, Firefox 6.0, Email Outlook Express.
I am emailed video files as attachments in Quick Time Player formats .MOV and M4V. I am unable to view the files from the Browzer. I have to save the files and access to access them in VLC Media Player. I want to be able to click on the attachments and view within Firefox as in prior versions.
I see no one else has asked this question, but there are a multitude of complaints on line.

You can't. Not in landscape. There is no way to hide or remove it.

Email file attachments in SAP

Hello,
Is there any size limitation for the attachments in mail send option?
If yes where can we check the defined limit.
In my case when attached file contains more than 1000 records, it does not send the data in mail.
Is there any parameter to pass in such case?

Thanks and Regards

The issue has to do with the space in filename in the utl_http.begin_request. I got it fixed. Thanks

Transferring email files from hotmail to my mac

You don't need to transfer anything.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then select the Account Information tab.
Click + (plus) under Accounts on the left.
Just follow the instructions to add your Hotmail account.
When you are finished, just click the Mac Mail icon in your Dock.

Computer shuts down when opening attachments from Gmail in Chrome

Hi everyone,
I've been having an issue when downloading file attachments from Gmail--namely image files, though I haven't tried anything else. My computer keeps shutting down!
I'm running OSX Lion on a Macbook Pro with 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
The issues have persisted for several weeks now, following my upgrade to Lion. Could you offer any advice?
Regards,
Jim

It seems that this is the good old "I think it's 64bit" error. It tries to install 64bit components on your 32bit system. This specifically comes down to some DLLs on your system being missing or the wrong version, possibly even a hardware driver returning some false info (processor controlelr etc.) I'd check Windows Update and verify the SP2 is installed correctly. Also make sure your MSVC 2008 runtime and possibly .NET 1.1 are isntalled correctly. Verify in your device manager that the CPU is detected correctly and Windows isn't running in some sort of compatibility mode. if there came a specific set of drivers with your motehrboard, installing them alone might fix a lot of things, as then you actualyl may also see Windows Update install some components for the first time that may be missing currently...

Viewing Excel & PDF file attachments in Mac Mail 3.6

I setup my IMAP Gmail account on my Macbook's Mail 3.6. In the advanced tab of my Gmail account preferences in Mail 3.6 under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:" I have selected "All messages and their attachments"
Whenever I click on an Excel attachment, I get the error message "'filename' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."
Whenever I click on a PDF attachment, I get the error message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I then tried saving the attachments from Mail 3.6 to my hard drive, but received the same error messages when I tried to open them.
However, when I access my Gmail account using my browser and download the same attachments to my hard drive, they open up without any problems.
I have deleted the folder containing the emails containing the attachments from Mail 3.6 and re-synced it with Gmail. While it successfully completes the download of all of the messages and their attachments, the same problem occurs. Oddly enough, this problem does not occur with Word Document attachments or JPEG file attachments.
This is my first Mac and while I am extremely proficient with Windows, I am clueless with Mac OS X. I have read posts about AppleDouble and Compression, but can't seem to find those options to play around with, even though I do not think that either is the issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

Sijmons,
well, I didn' got confused but only wanted to help you with your Altzheimer
Geeborg,
I used to .Mac webmail with Firefox on Windows and opened a message with an attachment (mpg). I clicked on the small triangle behind the word "Attachments" and then I clicked on the name of the attachment. This opened a window stating that the attachment would be downloaded. After some time I was asked to open the file with application xyz (I don't remember the name) or to save it on disk. Choosing to open the file finally launched Windows Media Player which played the mpg.
Can you try these steps on one of your attachments?

Something conflicting with Adobe Flash that won't allow email attachments in gmail

Something conflicting with Adobe Flash that won't allow email attachments in gmail
I have been speaking with senior techs in the google forum, and they suggested I post here. There is something about my computer settings or security software is conflicting with Adobe Flash.
I did a clean install of both Flash 10 and Firefox 3.5.7 (I uninstalled the previous versions).
The problem is with gmail. I get the error message when attaching files:
"Attachment failed. This may be due to a proxy or firewall."
Any ideas???
Using Firefox 3.5.7
Using MAC OS 10.4.11
Using Flash 10
I do not have security software, proxy or firewall settings.
I started a question in these forums:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?fid=791ff1130e2fc23100047e95d237082a&hl =en
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/554629?

So if your not using a Flash app, not running a flash program, and you are using a browser on a remote mailserver, why would you think Flash is the issue?
Secondly if you are not using the Flash CS3/4 program somewhere in the loop, than you would be better served in the Flash Player forum, this is a Flash Developers forum. Sounds more like gmail may use some flash components to display something, but should not have an effect on file transfer unless your Flash settings deny it. You have to allow local content from being run with active x/flash.

I'm using yahoo email on firefox but cannot download or save doc file attachments

Emails that I have received on my yahoo account contain attachments, saved as word documents or powerpoint or pdf files. Today, when I tried to download these files, the daownloading software could not recognise the file format in any of the files (I tried with twenty different files), and therefore could not download or save the files. The pop up window simply states "Resolving...." and does not change at all.
Please assist me to download file attachments on emails that come through yahoo, when I use Firefox as my browser.

Hi there,
Please take a look at this article ([[Managing file types]]). Let us know if it worked!

I am using a mac mini (10.8.3) with Mac Mail 6.3 (1503). Whenever I try to forward an email with attachments, the attachments do not make it. They show being sent, but the attachments never are sent.

Hey Guys,
The title says it all. Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments. Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace. We are setup with IMAP. It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail. We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround. The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.

Back up all data.
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

I'm unable to email PDF attachments, this has started in the last 2 weeks - any clues why as other file types are sending?

I'm unable to email PDF attachments, this has started in the last 2 weeks - any clues why as other file types are sending?

Greetings,
That is rather strange. Attachments are attachments. The big difference between what will send and what won't is usually either who you are sending it to (wrong email address) or how big the attachment is (most email providers have a limit to the total message size between 10 MB and 20 MB).
-- What happens when you say you are "unable to email PDF attachments"? What error message do you get?
-- Are you sending these emails using the Mail program?
-- What is the file size of the PDF you are trying to send?
-- What happens if you compress the PDF before you email it (Highlight the PDF on the desktop and then go to File > Compress) ?
-- What happens if you send the PDF to yourself?
Cheers.

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.
