Attaching files to e-mails

I am using Safari to access my e-mail account at Yahoo. I sometimes cannot send our e-mails that have attachments. A message from Yahoo advises that I remove the attached files and try again. I've removed the attached files and reattached them but still can not send out the e-mail with the attached files. Anyone have this problem? Help!

I am having the same problem trying to attach Filemaker Pro files to an email. No solution yet. It was suggested I use Internet Explorer. It did allow me to attach the file, but I have not yet heard from the receiver.

Safari 5.0 freezes after attaching files in Yahoo Mail

Since upgrading to Safari 5, I cannot use Yahoo mail after attaching a file to a message. The program acts like there is a dialog box open and it is waiting for a choice to be made, but there is no dialog box.

HI,
BrowserPlus is causing problems when attaching files to Yahoo mail. It's not compatible with Safari 5.
Read here for help to uninstall BrowserPlus:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/browserplus/uninstall.html
Carolyn

I can no longer attach files in Yahoo mail since upgrading to FireFox 4.0.1. I click the "attach" button and nothing happens - no file list to select from appears; nothing.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 the "attach files" function in my Yahoo Mail account no longer functions. When I click the "attach files" button nothing happens - nothing. No file selection box opens, no error message appears, no pinwheel of death, nothing.
The "attach files" button is no longer 'hot' in FF 4.0.1 either = the "little hand" icon does not appear when I scroll over it. Other action buttons are still 'hot' ("attachments", "emoticons", "format", "hide bcc"etc.) - just not the "attach files" button.
The Yahoo Mail "attach files" function still works when I use my Safari browser, however. So, it appears to be a FF4.0.1 issue.

Alignment problem in sending an attachment file as a mail

Hi,
My requirement is to send a mail where i have the data in an internal table.
the .txt attachment file is sent properly no problem in that. But the text inside the file is not alligned properly.
For eg if i have 5 records in the internal table which iam going to send as an attachment then 5 lines should exist on the attachment file.
But for me what happens is
for eg the first two records in the internal table is like as follows.
record 1 : my name is rose
record 2 : iam working in SAP ABAP consultant.
These lines are coming in the attachment file like
line 1: ame is rose (some spaces are given then it prints) my n
line 2: n SAP ABAP consultant (some spaces are given then it prints) iam working i
can anyone tell me why this happens . i want the lines to be displayed as it is in the internal table.
can anyone tell how to solve this problem. Thanks...
Regards,
rose.

How to attach files in a mail from user4s PC in a Portal aplication

Hello,
I am trying to send a mail with attachments from PL/SQL but I don4t know what must I do to attach files from the user's PC. Our aplication is developed with Portal.
Does anybody knows any java program than can be used like portlet who opens the Outlook??
Thank you.

You can use methods listed inside Fuego.IO, but they don't work if you run your process in a client, I mean not the server.
You can use JSP or methods developed in java in order to upload your files and Fuego.IO methods to access them after you upload them.
Another thing you should consider is that if you upload files using Fuego library, there's a size limit for files.
Take a look on How to Use FileChooser on for Client files
Hope this help.

In Firefox, can't attach files to Yahoo Mail outgoing messages. Yahoo Mail works fine in Internet Explorer though.

Since yesterday, when I switched from Comcast to AT&T as my broadband internet connection, I have not been able to attach files to my Yahoo mail messages using Mozilla Firefox. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer, but my default browser is Firefox by choice. Is this a Yahoo issue or a Firefox issue? Can you help me resolve it?

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.

Trouble attaching files to e-mail

This just started happening and I'm not sure what I installed or did to cause it. In any browser - Safari, Firefox, Explorer - I can't attach a document. I'm using SBC Yahoo and their tech support said it was a problem with my computer.
When I choose a file to attach, it shows up, but when I click "attach", the browser tells me there was an error, no files are attached. I turned off my firewall but can't think of any other reason my files won't attach. I have no problems attaching files to my AOL mail but I don't always use AOL and sometimes need to use my SBC address.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem with my verizon business webmail...Safari won't attach files...The old version of Firefox worked fine (Firefox 1.5 doesn't work at all, so now I'm without the ability to attach files altogether)...Need to find the fix for Safari...

Get attached file outof incoming mail

Hi,
I've created an interface (Mail2Rfc), in which file is attached to incoming mail message. my basic reference was /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step which demonstrate how to implement getting attached file content via adaptor module.
my issue:
the file name can be changed, therefore the file_name parameter (required by adaptor module) can not be hard coded.
how can i bypass the issue?
Please advise,
Uri

Hi,
10x for your replay.
plz clarify:
what is the module configuration i have to use? which Parameters & Parameters Values?
currently i'm useing:
swap.keyName=Content-Disposition
swap.keyName=Content-Description
swap.keyValue=attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml";
swap.keyValue=MailAttachment-1
I tried to use keyName = payload-name instead of other keyName values, and interface was failing.

Uri

Attaching Files to Yahoo Mail

Hello,
I am trying to attach files that I have just recently imported from my digital camera to Yahoo Mail. When I go to attach files, then to Pictures on the menu, I then click on Iphoto library, thats as far as it will go unless I want to attach the entire library (which I don't). Does anyone know how I attach the specific files I want? Thanks for all the help!!

DeAnza
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
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.
To upload to MySpace or any 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 THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Cant attach files using yahoo mail

When I attempt to attach a file in yahoo mail i get an error message. I can attach the files if I use Firefox

The problem is Safari 6...it's buggy and wouldn't allow me to attach any file types to a yahoo email note. I downloaded Chrome and everything works fine. This is my first Apple machine and I have to say I'm disappointed in their Safari browser. The sales guy said I was "purchasing an elegent system that would work right out of the box", I didn't anticipate having to do work-around solutions on day one. What a joke.

Problems attaching files to e-mails

After installing Lyon, from my wife's user she can't attach files to an e-mail. The window opens but only shows folders and the folders can not be opened. I can do it from my user. What could be happening?

This could be a hardware problem, or it could be software problem.
First... Get a full backup of your disks by booting from the DVD and using Disk Utility to copy the data to an external storage device, on the off change the disk or memory or server is failing; don't lose ground here, and try to avoid losing data. Always, always, always have a good backup before you start hardware or software repairs.
As Christoph recommends, do check the logs. Rather than looking at the directories directly, I'd suggest doing this using the Console.app tool (as that's easier than rummaging in /var/log, if you're not already comfortable in the command shell) and see if there are any relevant errors being reported.
It appears this box is critical, and doesn't have a backup, or spare parts, or local available support. I'd expect there are folks in the Denver area that can visit the site and sort out the hardware or software trigger, if your coworkers aren't in a position to assist here.
If the box is under AppleCare, I'd plan for a trip to get the box looked at and potentially repaired.
If the box is not under AppleCare, I'd look for a spare disk. Or better (but more expensive), acquire (or bring along?) a spare Mac Mini (Server?) and probably either used or off eBay or such, as you'll want to have a spare for any potential hardware failure. (It's better to have two of the same, and newer Mac Mini (Server?) boxes will arrive with (and require) Lion (Server?) and not 10.6.8.
Usual path for a recovery here is an external backup (via booting the DVD and using Disk Utility to get that copy, and preferably a couple of external, full, current, copies of the data) and using the "migrate" option after a wipe and reinstallation, to bring a copy of the disk data back in.

Lion running Safari 5.1 cannot attach files in Yahoo Mail

I've seen a bunch of various threads on this over years, but none have answered it for my situation.
In this case clicking the "Attach" button in Yahoo Mail does absolutely nothing. No freezes or crashes - it just will not invoke a file tree to pick the attachment from.
I just migrated over frrom a 2009 Mini to a 2011 Mini. The exact same browser version running in Snow on the old Mini was working perfectly 2 days ago.
Thoughts?

Thanks Carolyn - Done as per your suggestion!
I'm pretty sure this is something I couldn't do in Snow? (I''ve only been using Lion for a few days now). - And/or this is something Yahoo only started to allow recently - before, in the old days POP Mail was an add on Pay feature. IMAP is new(ish) for them. Maybe this is something I never looked for either (old dog/new tricks)
Speaking of Lion - looking to make sure the Yahoo messages were copying off of the Yahoo servers I looked for them in - Home/Library/Mail - but that's hidden in Lion now. Go-> ~/Library reveals that it's all downloading fine.
FWIW - The "ATTACH" button started working again for me this morning without doing a single thing. No restart, didn't quit anything - left the Mac to sleep for 5 hours and tried again and it's working! Strange.

Can not attach files to certain mail accounts in mail

I have three e-mail accounts (pop3) which I use Mail to get and send mail. But it seems I can only attach files to one account and not the other two accounts. the only workaround I found is to start attaching the files to the account which can take attachments and before I sent switch to the other account. Surprisingly the Attachment stays.
any idea

Hi Caroline,
Are you trying to attach a file to the message without typing anything in the message body? You need to have typed something, even a space, in the message body before attachments will attach.
Not sure exactly when, but this has been a 'feature' of Mail for a while now, and one that I personally dislike.

Can not attach file to g-mail

Latley I am not able to attach files in my G-mail. There are small Word files. Everytime I try it, finder freezes. My 8 year old Thinkpad is faster than my Macbook Air!

You are mostly misinterpreting the problem (and 'view as icon' will only mask the 'solution').
You see, what you are experiencing is a facet of your email application.
What other users see will be a facet of their email application.
To explain, if you're using Mail.app you should be aware that Mail.app can interpret and display a wide variety of file formats - images, PDF, video, etc., etc.
When you 'attach' such a file to a message Mail.app, by default, displays the content since this is what most people want. You have the option to just display an icon, but that's only really relevant for you.
When the recipient gets the message what they see depends upon their client. If their client can interpret and render file attachments then they'll see the image. If it can't, they'll see an attachment link.
Moreover, you have no control over this. It is entirely dependent on the mail client you are using, and the mail client the recipient is using. Even if you attach a file and 'view as icon', that has no bearing on whether it will appear as an icon or an inline document when it gets to the recipient - that's up to their browser abilities/settings (just like attaching as an image won't display as an image on the recipient's system if they can't display the file format, or their preferences are set to not do so).
So knock yourself out viewing your attachments as icons, but don't expect that it will make any difference to the recipient.
The only way you can overcome this is to send attachments in a file format that can't normally be displayed, such as a .zip archive.
