How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email?

You can right click or command-click on the image in the email and select "view as icon".
You can change the default behavior of Mail.app so that it always shows the attachment as the icon:
open a Terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
at the prompt, type in this (it must be exact, or copy and paste it in if you have trouble typing things precisely):
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
Then hit return.
To revert to the previous default (where the attachment is visible in-line), you just enter the same command with "no" instead of "yes" at the end.
In either case, however, how the viewer of the email sees the attachment (either as an icon or in-line) depends on how their email client is set up, not on how you send it.

You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions, either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

Sending a file as an attachment to an email involves setting the correct MIME type and headers. There's a brief tutorial here: http://webcheatsheet.com/php/send_email_text_html_attachment.php.
Also, you need to use the same name as in your form. In the script you have shown here, the name of the file field is strresume, but your processing script uses this: $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']. It should be this: $_FILES['strresume']['name']

TS3899 How do I send a group email and not have to select each person

How do I send a group email without having to select each person separately

Hi Blair
You dont need to use a server, but you will probably need a group emailing app of some sort to help you.
There are a number of apps available on the App Store. Most will only let you send email from inside their own app, but MailShot Pro uniquely creates special contacts that you can use right from the Mail app, and tens of thousands of compatible apps, building group email right in.
You can find the app at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mailshot-pro-group-email-done/id445996226?ls=1&m t=8, a free version is also available, which can only create a few, smaller groups, but can be upgraded.

How do I save a file to iCloud Drive and NOT have it sync to all my devices?

I have a Macbook Air with 128GB of SSD storage. I have a Mac Mini with 2TB of storage. Both are running OS X 10.10 with iCloud Drive enabled. All iOS devices are on 8.0+ with iCloud Drive. I want to upload files to my iCloud Drive from my Macbook Air and then delete them off my Air to save valuable storage space. When I try to delete a file from my iCloud Drive on my MB Air, it prompts me to say that the file will be deleted from ALL iCloud Drive devices. I just want delete it locally on the MB Air. Is there a way to do this? Do I have to do it through the iCloud Drive web interface? Can I just make a folder in iCloud Drive that does not sync to the other devices but you can still "view" the files? I just want to save files in the iCloud but not have all those files synced on my Macbook Air. Make sense? Help please! Thank you in advance.

You're going to find that pretty much every cloud storage system works in a similar way. Some, like OneDrive, will allow you to select what folders sync to and from every machine it's installed on.
Maybe something like that would fit your needs better.

How can I add a attachment field to my new form list

I have the setting checked yes for attachments. Then I click on the edit tab above then attach file, once I attach the file, it disappears and I cant see it after the record is saved. So how would I add a attachment to a record?

Hi Soupi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to show attachments in list view.
By default, the list view only contain the Title column. If you want to show whether there is an attechment in an item, you can modify the view and show the Attachments column as Clicking List->Modify View, check "Attachments" in Columns section.
After the above, the result is like:
In the above image, test1 has an attachment, test1 doesn't have attachments.

Wendy

How do I add an attachment to an email?

You can attach some items in an email by tapping where you want to insert the item. A choice to attach a photo will come up along with Select, Cut, Paste, etc.
Other items like PDFs or other documents can be attached by using the app that the document was created or edited with and using the share feature. The Share icon is a square with up pointing arrow.

Hi Dan,
Yes, iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7). In edit mode, the 'attachments' option is between 'Invitees' and 'URL' (see below). As I said this is for calendars under On My Mac, I suspect you are not seeing this as your event is on MobileMe.

I have a macbook pro with Lion OS and am using Mac mail. How do I attach documents as attachments instead of coming up in the body of the email?

How do I attach a file to mac mail without it going into the body of the email?

To add to what Kappy said, note that you really can't control how some other mail client might display an attachment. Some may display them inline, while others may require them to be opened separately. And different people have different desires in this area... some want a PDF file, for example, displayed inline, while others prefer for it not to be. Just attach the file(s) and don't worry about this so much.
Also, I do have to disagree with Kappy on one point... I would not say that you "should" compress files and attach the compressed archive file. That will force all mail clients not to display the attachment inline, but not everyone will want that (you'd be forcing your tastes on all recipients of your e-mail), and some people have difficulty figuring out how to open and view the contents of compressed files. It's an extra step for you and an extra step for the recipient, and is not needed for most popular file types. (Of course, we could advise you more specifically if we knew what file types you're dealing with.)

How do you email photos from an iphone to a business email so that the photo shows up as an attachment vs. a part of the body of the email?

Eric, thanks for the info about the pictures, it worked. The mail icon is not the one that came with the mac(it looks like a stamp with an eagle) this appears at a notepad with a ruler,paintbrush and pencil. I can not open it, I did not download it and now I can not turn off the computer with shutdown I have to manually turn if off by pressing the power button. This can not be normal. Any suggestions. thanks, Ellen

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.
