Attach an image in mail

I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and im kind of new to mac stuff as i was only using it for about 2 months. recently, i wanted to send an email to my friend with an image in it (either embedded or separately is fine), but whenever i attached a file, it took me to the select file window, and allowed me to choose a file. After i clicked "Choose FIle" the window went away and then nothing happened, before, i just assumed the the files were being attached somewhere that I couldnt see them, but it turns out that they never got attatched! What is the problem here?
Any help will be much appreciated.

You should be able to drag a photo from any Finder window into the email.
You could also hit the paperclip button in your email and it will open a Finder to choose your file.

  • No longer able to attach .jpg images in Mail...

    I'm having problems attaching .jpg images in Mail. This problem started two or three days ago. I can attach .zip files, but I'm unable to attach .pdf or .jpg files. I have not tried other formats, as these are the two most common formats used.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Cheers. -m

    There was a discussion posted on this a while back:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1545970&start=0&tstart=0
    I get this problem on my PPC, but not my Intel machine. Instead of using Server Admin, best to set this value (maxAttachmentSize) in the /etc/wikid/wikid.conf file. The value in Server Admin will still show '0', but I was still able to attach files up to the size I specified in the wikid.conf file.

  • Attaching an Image to Mail.app

    I know, it's been a problem since the evolution of Apple Mail, but it's finally about to drive me to another email client. In the past I've been able to use Attachment Tamer to attach images to outgoing emails, but now its developer has all but vanished and most likely abandoned the application, even though it's always been a 5-star app that worked well with Mail.app. It was never fully released for Mavericks and the Mavericks beta won't work at all with Yosemite. Bottom line is why does Apple have this aversion to allowing images to be attached to an email and force users to embed images inline? Does anyone know of any workarounds to attach images to an email?

    You might try this:
    In a normal mail attachment the header info before the MIME encoded image/file info is this:
    --Apple-Mail-B7254802-404D-423E-86F7-1DCE849C83E8
    Content-Type: application/vnd.iwork.pages.archive;
    name="Blank 2.pages.zip"
    Content-Disposition: attachment;
    filename="Blank 2.pages.zip"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    In a Mac Mail in-line attachment the header info before the MIME encoded image/file is this:
    --Apple-Mail=_7D45E9DC-5540-4CB6-8490-C71D4016573C
    Content-Disposition: inline;
    filename=pdf.pdf
    Content-Type: application/pdf;
    x-unix-mode=0644;
    name="pdf.pdf"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Try editing the file outside of mail in a Terminal window (like with vi or vim or nano or whatever you favorite text editor is) and change (don't include the double-quotes only used for illustration):
         1. Change the "Content-Disposition" from "inline" to "attachment;"
         2. Under no circumstances change the line starting with "--Apple-Mail" as that contains a long hex string that terminates the MIME data
    I would make a copy of the test mail message rather than edit the original message so that if something goes wrong, you haven't done any permanent change.
    Good luck...

  • How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

    How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
    I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

    I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
    Read this from a site I found:
    Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
    On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
    Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
    If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

  • How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

  • Problems attaching scanned jpg images to mail messages

    We are having issues attaching scanned images from a Epson SX600FW all in one printer/scanner/fax machine into mail on my dad's MacBook.
    Basically if I attach a jpeg from any other source (internet or digital camera) to a message, they attach ok but if I attach a file from this printer Mail stops responding and the rotating ball comes up.
    The odd thing is if I attach a file from another source first and then an image from the printer it attaches fine but if I only attach a file from the printer Mail hangs.
    Any ideas anyone ?

    Many times you need Photo Software. This allows your Photo's to be .jpg Format then you can copy and paste, or Drag and Drop. The  Key is the Format of your photos. Many Cameras and other periphials make there scans and photo's .jpg format by default.  If you do not have the software here is a Free on that is comparible too Adobe's Photoshop.

  • I need help attaching an image to my signature in mail

    How can I attach an image to my mail signature?

    If the image you want to embed in your signature is stored locally (ie, on your machine), it might not show up in the recipient's email, because basically, it only exists physically on your computer. The only way to achieve what you want to do is to actually create a template email where the signature is part of the stationery. You can create it using Word, or Pages, or another similar text editor, then save it in your Mail.app stationery. There's a Thunderbird extension called, well, "Stationery", that does that very well, but I seldom use Mail.app, so I can't help you much here... You'll probably need to repost your question on the part of this forum that's dedicated to Mail, among other apps. Here.

  • Cannot attach images in Mail

    Hi,
    I am wondering if this is just me, I tried to attach an image by dragging and dropping the actual image in the body of the email. It shows a Plus sign on the mouse pointer but nothing has been attached. Then I tried using the attach button on the compose window but it still does not work.
    However, if I drag the file onto the dock, Mail will display a new compose message with the attachment.
    So does anyone have the same problem??

    I've been having issues as well. After toggling the "insert attachments at end" and getting varied results, I stumbled upon another potential workaround. In entirely blank messages, attachments cannot be added unless the sender first places the cursor in the message body and hits return once (that is with "insert at end" selected).
    If replying to a message, this isn't any problem. It seems that Mail needs to know where the end of the message is, and can only do so if there is existing text (a reply or newly composed message), or at least a carriage return.

  • Cannot attach files to Mac Mail

    Hello,
    I have a new Mac mini running 10.8.4.  I am transitioning from a Windows PC.  I have setup Mac Mail v 6.5 (1508) against Gmail for both my wife and I on separate Mac user accounts.  Both of us see the same behavior from both of our accounts.  If I try to attach an image through the attachment button, then nothing happens.  Nothing gets attached.  If I drag and drop the image, then double click on it I get the following error:  "The file xyz.jpg could not be opened because it is empty."  Location does not seem to matter.  I have also tried word & excel docs and when opened they are just empty.  PDFs behave like images.  All my files where originally on my Windows PC and migrated to the mac.  Here are some entries in syslog:

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Sending image in mail

    If I place a file on some location on the server, how to get the file from this location in this code?
    Regards,

    Cary,
    I got your email overnight.
    The 5 attachments are full size JPEG files, and the overall size of the message is 4.5 MB. Three of them have been compressed more than the other two, which you can see looking at the file sizes shown in the attached screenshot I sent back to you, but all of them decompress into full size photos of good size.
    You may have muddied the water slightly, by Forwarding rather than sending a new message as you did originally. That can easily be checked if you open the message as originally sent, click on Message in the menubar and choose Send Again -- then change the To address to mine.
    However, I think there is another issue causing the message to be sent in Rich Text Format, which causes some conversion of text to HTML, which then is problematic to some email clients some recipients use on Windows computers, notably Outlook and Outlook Express. Specifically, the file name of each photo appearing beneath and between each attachment can cause this, as could multiple fonts (but you did have that). To stop the file name printing, which is coming from iPhoto's preparation of the message, change the selection in the Email dialogue in iPhoto to deselect Include Title and Include Comments.
    Then be sure to send all such messages in Plain Text, and be sure to use Windows Friendly if not already.

  • Attached PDF file in mail through PL/SQL, unable to open

    Use your own mail reader. Create an e-mail. Attach the PDF. Send the e-mail to your address.
    In your inbox, the mail will arrive.
    Now select the "+view raw format+" option of your mail reader (most mail readers have this, including MS Outlook).
    Look at the contents of the mail body. This will show you how the attachment was inserted into the mail itself. Look at the Mime types. Look at the mail header. This is a working example of what your code needs to create as an e-mail body in PL/SQL (or any other language).
    This is not rocket science....

  • Images in mail are not shown after ios8 update

    After update iOS8 the images attached in mails are not shown constantly, I configured my iPhone and iPad to show the images in mails but it is not working all time.
    The issue is with photos sent from my ip cameras, these are showing for one mail and for other not.
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually yes!
    I'm not familiar with fuse, but I found the action in line one of your third frame (on the main timeline) dubious, and a quick search lead me to try "portfolio._brightness = 0;" as first line (and I commented out the original line) that worked.
    My quess is that whatever template or original file you've been modifing/adjusting used some kind of color-fade in at that point, and you somehow broke it.
    To me it looks ok without it, but you let me know if you need further guesswork from me.

  • Resizing images within Mail not working in Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard on both my desktop (iMAC Quad Core) and my MacBook Pro. I'm now experiencing an issue when I attach images within the Mail application.
    In the past, if I attached an image I could resize it by selecting the option at the lower right of the window and it would scale the image accordingly. Now if I select "large" it resizes the image as if I selected small. It's tiny, like 30KB. I tried it on both machines and I get the same thing.
    This was never an issue before upgrading to Snow Leopard. In the past if I selected "large" it would scale my image down to roughly 4X6 300dpi.
    Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
    Thanks so much!
    Michael

    Hi Terence,
    thanks for your reply.
    But i have now a Problem!
    iPhoto 09 itself can send max. 10 pics in one mail. When i drag & drop more photos to mail as attachement, mail can´t resize photos with greater than 150dpi correctly.
    I have many photos greater than 150 dpi
    With new iPhoto 09 i can not send:
    1. more than 10 photos
    2. without "zipping"
    with mail i can send more than 10 photos at one time but i cant resize these images!
    Allso whe i use this way:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2627690&tstart=0
    The only way to send more than 10 photos with resizing the images is:
    1. export these photos from iphoto to a folder with resizing function
    2. drag or attach these photos to a mail
    3. send mail
    4. delete the created folder with images
    5. empty trash
    iPhoto 8 can send many photos at one time including resizing and display the estimated size of mail (e.g. Megabytes).

  • Attaching pictures to outlook mail

    I'm having problems attaching photos to Outlook mail messages. My previous PC used XP and it was simple to click on Attach in the Outlook mail message and choose a photo(s) from My Pictures in My Documents. (Alternatively I could right click on any photo and select attach to email) Now my HP Touchscreen uses Vista and photos are kept in Windows Photo Gallery but don't seem to be accessible via My Documents (the only way I have found of locating and storing photos is via the Windows icon which takes me to the photo gallery). I can't work out how to locate photos to attach them if I click on Attach in an Outlook mail message. I have tried going in to Windows Photo gallery, selecting a photo and then clicking E-mail then attach as suggested in help and support, but although the  screens appear nothing happens and no mail message appears. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help!

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Vista does not have outlook - it uses Windows Mail. Have you set up Windows Mail?
    If not, you can use this support document to go through the whole procedure.
    However, I recommend not using Windows Mail and switching to Web-based email service: such as Windows Live mail, Yahoo Mail, Google's GMail, MSN Hotmail, and others. These services are failry easy to set up and they are easy to access from anywhere in the world and from any PC (you can easily check mail from any PC that has Internet).. all you need to know is your logon and password.
    I use Yahoo and GMail...not sure about the others. With either of these, when you want to attach a picture you click an attach button and pop up window lets you browse to the image file on your hard drive (if you know where it is). They even scan the files for viruses for you automatically.
    As far as where your photos are being saved, Vista uses an entirely new browsing interface that can be very confusing if you are used to XP. Also... photo gallery is the Windows software for viewing photos - it's not the same as the old "My Pictures" folder. The equivilent to My Pictures is Pictures... Click the Blue Start button in the lower left and then click Pictures in the upper right portion of the start menu. If you can't find what you are looking for , click Public in the left side of the Pictures folder and you can find more Public Pictures folders.

  • Can't attach jpegs to e-mails after downloading Adobe Camera Raw 6.7

    I just downloaded an Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 plug in so that I can use my new camera with photoshop cs-5. Now whenever I save a JPEG and try to attach to an e-mail, the email programs (I've tried several) won't attach it

    One has nothing to do with the other. No ACR update would stop you from "Attaching" images, any kind of image, JPG or any RAW image or any file of any type, to an Email.
