After Automatic Software Update I Can't Attach Photos in Hotmail via Safari

Suddenly after my iMac update the software on my computer, I suddenly can't attach any photos in Hotmail when I launch Safari.
I have been a Hotmail user for 10 years now and never have had this problem before. This has been my primary account for these years and I don't want to start another email account with a different carrier.
In the middle of uploading on every attachment, I get an error saying "There was a problem adding this file to the message" The files are not too large or the wrong file type.
I am using Safari 5.0.2 and Mac OS C 10.6.4
I am frustrated by this.
Can someone please help me
THANKS SO MUCH

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Quit Safari (Command + Q) Relaunch Safari and try attaching a photo to Hotmail.
If that doesn't help, open a Finder window select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder.
Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help either, quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try an attachment again. If it works, then move that .plist file to the Trash.
Check Safari / Preferences - Security to make sure you either have: Always accept cookies or *Only from sites I visit* selected.
You've had similar issues with Hotmail in the past. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11580566#11580566
I don't want to start another email account with a different carrier
At some point, you may want to consider switching to Mac Mail instead of using web based mail written by Microsoft as they may not always support the Safari browser.

After Mountain Lion update, i can't access Facebook and Hotmail websites

Please, help me.

IBook freezing at start up after Automatic Software Updates

Hello All! I am new here and this is the first major issue I have had with my iBook since it was purchased back in 2004. Not sure what is going on with it...
I installed all the Automatic Software Updates, as I have always done in the past, then I shut the computer down for the day instead of restarting it. Since it gives you those two options so I choose Shut down. Well, the next morning my husband went to turn the computer on and it gave him trouble but then it finally started up but then as the screen turning on, it was jumpy with lines shooting up and down like crazy. So we force restarted it and then nothing. We removed the battery to see if that would help and it did at least let us get to the log in screen, slowly, but it got us there. Then, it froze. Restart, login, froze. Restart, logged in successfully, froze on desktop screen.
Not sure what to do now. Can anyone help? Let me know if you need any additional questions answered and I will so my best to answer them.
Thank you in advance for your time and help,
Kara

Hello Kara,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion forums!
I installed all the Automatic Software Updates
Normally, after installing updates to your software, it is wise to run the Repair Permissions function of Disk Utility found in your Utilities folder.
It sounds like something got corrupted doing the updates/shutdown.
I would try booting to your install cd/dvd and run the Repair Disk function. This is different than Repair Permissions from your HD's Disk Utility.
To do this:
Startup from your install cd/dvd while holding down the "c" key.
When the installer splash screen appears, ignore it, and go directly to the Installer Menu in your top Apple Menus and select Disk Utility.
When Disk Utility from the Install disk opens select your HD in the left pane and then select the First Aid Tab if not already selected and then click on Repair Disk button. If it finds errors it cannot repair you may need a more robust Disk Repair utility such as Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro.
If Disk Utility reports the disk has been repaired quit the Disk Utility and then quit the installer and reboot and see if you can now login normally and your desktop appears (unfrozen).
If it does startup normally, open Disk Utility from the HD and run the Repair Permissions function.
post back if you cannot boot to the install cd/dvd and run Repair Disk or if you have further comments or questions,

Toshiba 3D TV conked off after automatic Software Update!! Need help to get it working like before

Hi there,
I' Using the Toshiba 46TL963G TV since 5 monts, recetly i asked for the **bleep** new software update and I let it install (ofcourse its connected via ethernet cable). After instalment the TV restarted automatically and everything was fine. I could watch TV well and I turned it OFF. and later Next morning When I turned On, it doesn't function anymore!!
How Crap is this TV.. It does the automatic software update and it conks off itself!!!
and the most annoying thing is that I went to this website "http://support.toshiba.com/" to get the support for this TV and when I entered the 8 charachter moderl of my TV , it say, wrong entry. WTF!!!! You dont clain your own product as yours??
Please help me how can I get my TV working fine as before, else I really have to start working on creating a blog "Reason Why one SHOULD not buy TV from TOSHIBA"
- Many thanks
Aravind

Peter, You _know_ that the firmware update crashes the TV. There have been enough reports of this online, and so much of it here on this forum that you cannot have missed it. Users need to resort to auto-flashing the firmware with files that are not publicly available from your site. Could you not at least remove the offending firmware from the list of things the television can automatically download? Aravind, you might try contacting the toshiba support to get them to send you the correct file to put on an USB device to force the TV to launch the update once plugged. Roaming the forums, it seems like this file should be something like "46TL963G_******_INIT_CLEAR.bin". Kellindil

After automatic software update- being prompted for Darwin login - HELP!

I'm now locked out of the Powerbook G4. Purchased this system back in 2004 - haven't even used it since then as we didn't know how to hook it up to the internet. Recently powered it up and got it hooked into the network (although wireless not working). Noticed that all software and virus stuff was way, way out of date - so did that automatic software update. Once everything was downloaded - it asked to reboot the system. When system reboot, it's now sitting at the Darwin/BSD prompt - asking for a login: - when I try the login that we setup for the computer, it just spits back incorrect login. Tried Administator as well - no LUCK!
Any suggestions??

Since updating firefox, can't attach photo to e-mail

I use firefox 6 as my browser. Since the upgrade, I haven't been able attach any photo's to any out-going email. No problem in the past. I have centurylink.net as my server. After typing the email message, I click on"add attachment". select photo and click on attach. At the top of the page,"connecting" appears but fails to connect. There is no error messages or timing out messages. Something is not allowing the photo to be connected to email. I have tried to use Internet Explorer and it allowed the photo to be connection in a timely manner. I HAVE BEEN USING FIREFOX ALL OF MY COMPUTER DAYS. I DON'T INTEND TO USE I.E. AS A BROWSER.
Thanks for any help.

Not helpful. 'clearing Firefox's cache' is not helpful, since 'cache' doesn't show up in any of the Firefox pulldown menu choices (wasted time looking for that), and the plethora of things 'recent' and 'history' to choose to act on in these menus is also a possible waste of time, not to mention removing useful info for no reason.
I, too, have had this problem 'intermittently' for many months, always involving the 'first' file to attach in a Yahoo! email, and I've always used this workaround OK: click on the filename showing as 'being attached' (while Yahoo's doohickey round spinner denoting 'in progress' whirls and whirls to no effect) and use "Remove File"; THEN, REPEAT 'attach file' task & it then works, if slowly. After that for the same email, attaching add'l files NEVER HAS A PROBLEM.
SO, now today, without any software update yet (I've downloaded Firefox v.11 & will install shortly), at numerous attempts during the day, I CANNOT get the FIRST file to attach in a Yahoo! email. Simply, utterly, frustrating without any rhyme or reason. "Everything else, on plethora of sites, working fine."
thanks.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

Same problem here but figured it out: Drag the song from the Media Browser tab (after selecting iTunes at the top) at the bottom right when you open a new GarageBand project. Hope this helps you -- working perfectly for me!
