Adding an attachment unsuccessfulw with yahoo email

When trying to add an attachment using Firefox with yahoo email, it usually is unsuccessful. It works successfully with IE. The file browse window appears, I then select a file to attach and then the file browse window disappears (as expected) and nothing gets attached to the email. You are suppose to be an attachment in progress appear in the bottom of the screen, and then an indicator the file is attached.

You should see the attachment as an icon in the mail. Tap on it to download. you can also hold your finger down on it and see what options it offers you.
What kind of attachment is it? If it's some sort of document then the viewer in the ipad should allow you to view it. Other kinds of attachments may not be able to be opened. All depends on what it is.

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.

Help attaching doc to Yahoo email

I am a new mac user, so i would appreciate help with this simple task. I created a test file in Pages and tried to attach it to a note in my Yahoo email. The test file was grey and could not be selected. Other files that I had brought over from my PC are black and selectable.
Any idea why it wont work?
BTW, I have a similar problem in Numbers, where I can attach files I copied over that were created in Excel, but I cant attach a modified file that I saved in Numbers (grey and unselectable).
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Pages, Numbers & Keynote documents are actually packages, a special kind of folder that appear as a single file, but aren't. You can't e-mail a folder which is why Yahoo! mail isn't working. Apple Mail will automatically zip a folder, other e-mail clients don't, especially web-based e-mail. In the Finder, Control- or right-click on the Pages document & choose Create Archive… from the contextual menu. You will now have a zipped Pages document that you can attach to your e-mail & send.
Your recipient must have Pages to be able to open your Pages file. If s/he doesn't, you can export the Pages document as Word or PDF & send that.

Suddenly I am unable to attach files in yahoo email while using firefox, but when I use IE, there is no problem in attaching files. The problem is existing for last 5 days.

Even files of small size are not getting attached in yahoo mail when I use firefox. However there is no problem when I use IE.

Thank you jscher2000. Yes my PDFs do contain the .pdf extension. I tried your excellent idea to utilize the drag and drop method, but I still get the same error message with PDFs. I have no problem attaching photos or Word documents with either method; just PDFs.
For further diagnostics, I started composing my email in Safari, attached all my pdfs and saved my email as a Draft. I then went to Firefox, opened the draft to continue working on it, and voila! There are all the pdfs I attached previously while in Safari. I was able to send the email with attachments through Firefox with no issues. The attachments went through and were able to be opened.
I am mystified, as Firefox has been trouble-free with my email account, and I have never had this particular issue till today. I made no changes to anything else on my computer, but I did notice very late last night that Outlook had one of those typical messages at the top of my Inbox to refresh my browser since Outlook had been updated. I refreshed and shut down for the night, and when I rebooted this morning that is when I discovered this brand new glitch with attachments. I'm assuming this has something to do their last update.

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 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.

IPhone 5 no longer receive emails, but can still send emails with yahoo email account. Any ideas to fix?

iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 stopped receiving mail yesterday. Have yahoo email account. Can still send emails. Have turned device off/on. Have done the dual off/on thing using top button and menu button. Issue seems to be only with main inbox, as sub folders are receiving mail. Other Apple device is not having issues like this, just on iPhone.

Your issue is with the Yahoo email account which is notoriously bad.
you can try deleting and reinstalling the email account.
If that doesn't fix it try the yahoo email app.

Print problem with Yahoo email

Ever since upgrading to Safari Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11), I have had several different problems with printing emails. For the time being, let me ask here about only my AT&T Yahoo mail.
Here is the description of the problem in Yahoo. When I pull down the “Actions” menu to “Print Message,” I get this dialog box:
Print Error
There was a problem printing, most likely caused by a pop-up blocker. Please click Try Again.
Try Again
So I click the button labeled “Try Again,” and Safari opens the email in a new window with a “Print” tool in the upper left corner.
I click the “Print” tool. With multi-page emails, I like printing on both sides. I choose either,
Print Two-sided, or
Print either odd or even pages.
With the former option Safari prints one page of the email and stalls. With the latter Safari prints the whole series of selected pages and stalls. My printer (HP LaserJet Professional P1102w) refuses to print any more pages. I have to go into my printer’s application and stop the print job. Then I have to turn off the printer, wait a while for the machine to re-set, and turn it back on. Then I can print the remaining page or pages.
That’s inefficient. Is there some remedy to get Safari to print emails in Yahoo straight through?

Problems like that with Firefox printing look like they are fixed in Firefox 4.

A problem with Yahoo Email (not iPhones fault)?

Will Yahoo fix their email problem soon? I like having the "push" feature (when it works!)
I have 3 email accounts set up on my iPhone. Yahoo, Gmail, and my Road Runner. I sent all 3 an email from my work computer (via my work email). In a matter of 2 minutes the Gmail & Road Runner email showed up on my iPhone (must have been close to the 15 minute check for email time). The Yahoo is still missing in action.
As I'm typing this email... a test email I sent 1 hour 5 minutes ago finally showed up in my Yahoo account.
Also, I signed onto hotmail, gmail, and yahoo all on my computer. I sent an email to my work email... the Gmail and Hotmail arrived at my work inbox in less than 2 minutes. Still waiting (been 45 minutes) for the Yahoo email to show up. Again, these emails originated via my computer (not iPhone), and there is still a problem with my Yahoo. My computer is a PC running win XP PRO (if that matters)

I am having the same problem. You have to log into your Yahoo.com webmail everyday and send an email to anyone. You will be asked to enter some anti-spam security letters and numbers. Do this only once each day before you use your iPhone mail.app and it should work. I am angry at both Apple and Yahoo for letting this happen. Apple has an obligation to make the mail.app work (push mail) with any IMAP account, not just Yahoo's. Hpoefully in the next software update. For now, I have to check my IMAP and POP mail either manually or at a set interval.

Can't set up mail with yahoo email address..

I apologize if this has already been asked, but in setting up Mail, i keep getting an error while trying to set up my yahoo account. Will the mail program work with web based email? if this has been asked before, please direct me.
Thanks!
-Ryan

Hi Ryan
Mail will not work with Yahoo's free email service, but will work if you have the paid Yahoo service. This is because the free service does not allow mail access by POP mail clients.

TS3899 Problems with Yahoo emails since upgrade.

My Yahoo emails keep showing as unread after iOS 7.02installed even when read, any ideas?

Do you see an error when trying to receive mail? If not, then it is probably a Yahoo issue. They are infamous for having problems and servers going down in the iOS Mail program. Check with them.

Problem with Yahoo email on Q10

I've had my Q10 since June and haven't had a problem receiving and sending email. I have 3 different email accounts on it; one is a Yahoo account.
Yesterday I started having trouble with my Yahoo email. I replied to a message and it showed that it went but the person never received it. I did test messages to my other account and now the email is not going at all.
I have deleted and reinstalled the account several times and have tried the validation tool.
This is very frustrating!
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Using the email validation tool, did you get any errors?
When you install the Yahoo account to your Q10, it accepts your email address and password and sets up the account?

Problems With Yahoo Email

I've had problems with my yahoo email account since I got my iPhone about a month ago. Looking through the threads on this support forum, it appears that these problems are shared with other people using Yahoo email with the iPhone. It seems there are three main problems:
1. _*Push Email Doesn't Work*_: Despite the fact that push email with yahoo has been advertised as a selling point for the iPhone, it doesn't work reliably. Sometimes it works and you're notified immediately when a new email arrives, and sometimes it doesn't work and a new email won't show up until you go in and manually check for new messages.
2. _*Emails Don't Send*_: You compose a message, hit send, you hear the sent message sound, but it doesn't get sent. It doesn't show up in the sent messages folder and the recipient doesn't receive the message. This happens to me about once a day, and the solution appears to be to delete the yahoo email account and then recreate it. After this, sending emails will work again, but only for a certain amount of time and then it stops.
3. *_Emails Get Deleted_*: This is the worst problem of all. This has happened to me about half a dozen times in the month I've had my iPhone. I go to check my mail, the messages are there, but after it retrieves messages, some of the emails immediately disappear. They're gone for good. They're not in the trash or on the server.
In this forum, there are several threads dealing with each of these issues, and several hundred posts from users saying they are experiencing the same problems. There also appears to be no solution to any of these problems. In fact, neither Apple nor Yahoo have even acknowledged that these problems exist.
I finally decided to abandon my Yahoo email account. I waited for the 1.1.2 upgrade to see if that would solve the problems, but it appears not. I'm now using another IMAP account on my iPhone and I sent messages to all my contacts telling them to use this new account from now on. My advice to anyone using the iPhone is to not use Yahoo email account. There's just way too much frustration and it seems Apple and Yahoo are not even working on a solution.

I agree with Ifan and the Yahoo people. I think it has to do with the Iphone more than the Yahoo network. Since when I sent my mail, sometimes I don't even see the 'sent" mail in my outbox locally. Which really means it never left my Iphone. Secondly, I noticed sometimes when I go to the Safari settings and delete the history, cookies and cache, I could send again. Thirdly, since mail sends and sometimes doesn't, it means it CAN send. Just that your Iphone varied in its settings. Well, there's only a few things that fluntuates in your iPhone, connection, software update and memory. I think
the memory, and more specifically the cache whether DNS or Safari cache need deleting regularly.
Here's my hit-all-the-notes approach:
-first sync everything with your computer as back up
-go to mail setting in your iphone, delete your yahoo account
-important : on itunes under the Iphone "info" tab, uncheck "sync with mail server"
-RESTORE your iphone. Now you have the latest updated software
-sync your info again
-re-setup yahoo mail (make sure you have yahoo mail Plus / pro)
-turn off Wi-Fi settings on the phone
-set up your mail options so that you are doing everything locally
-have a habit of deleting emails (also from trash) as you go, since they are on your server already
-turn off your phone every night you go to bed, and after each time you turned Wi-Fi and off
-clear history, cache and cookies under Safari settings after prolonged use
-when you hit send, do not leave that window right way, wait for a minute
Good luck and let me know if it works.
Hope it helps.
