Attaching numbers files in an email

I recently switched from PC to iMac and moved all my Excel files. Once I open them, edit, and resave, they become numbers files. When I attempt to attach one of these new numbers files to an email it is grayed out and cannot be attached. Only my old, pre-existing Excel files can be attached. Why? My email is msn hotmail and it has never had any problems with attachments previously. Does msn have difficulty interfacing with a numbers file?

Numbers files are actually packages (folders) with contents in the folders. You may have to zip the file first before sending. Here is an example:
Select file then Control-Select -
View of files' contents -

My friend, who is blind and navigates his computer largely via hotkeys, has asked me to try to discover whether there is a hotkey for attaching a file to an email in Firefox. I cannot find this on the web. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I don't know what other details I should provide. My friend has a program installed which lets him know out loud what is happening as he navigates, but it's been quite a process for him to attach files; he often requires help and it would certainly be easier with a hotkey.
I did check the hotkeys list on this site and discovered a whole lot of hotkeys I never knew existed, but none for attaching a file to an email. Any ideas that might be helpful are welcome, however I should say up front that I'm not nearly at the technical level most people on here obviously are. I can, however, follow clear instructions. :-)

Why can't I attach any files to my email

I downloaded firefox 5 and yesterday, and now I am unable to attach any files to my email.
I create artwork and can not attach any illustrator or photoshop files. Why?

I just solved my own problem a few minutes ago. There was a little switch on the bottom of the Traveldrive. Locked or unlocked (the little lock symbols were so small I couldn't read them without a magnifying glass.
Thank you for responding, sorry to trouble you.

How do i attach a file to an email as an attachment and not embeded in the message?

how do i attach a file to an email as an attachment and not embeded in the message?

This question has been asked and answered several times already.
Any file attached to an e-mail message is an attachment. There is no other possibility -- the mail protocol does not allow it.
However, different e-mail clients may have different ways of displaying or viewing attachments, depending on their settings and the type of file attached.
If you're having problems with Windows users complaining about your messages, follow these instructions

Go to the Photos App, select a photo and then select Copy from the Share icon (box with arrow).
Return to Mail and paste the photo where you want it.

All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing

All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing. The email will show no attached file and then freezes and I am unable to add any content to body of email or change any of the content. I have to just delete the email and start over. If I zip the file it will show up in the body of the email and I am able to add content and send the email. This just stared happening, I had not changed any preferences or anything so I have no idea what happened.

Want to explain - makes no sense since they share the exact same library

Since latest upgrade to 7.0.1, I cannot attach a file to my emails

Since the last Firefox upgrade, now 7.0.1, I cannot attach files to my emails using MobileMe Mail. I us an iMac, OS X Version 10.6.8

Hi Swarnava
I upgraded to Firefox 8.0 but, regrettably I am still unable to attach any files to my emails. Mail on my iMac will however accept the atachments.

When I attach a file in my email it is embedded. How do I just attach the file. Windows users would like to be attached not embedded how do I that.

I suspect that your Windows pals are using an e-mail program from the Stone Age.
In the last 10 years or so most people prefer to read attachments “in-line”. This allows text and images to be intermixed allowing an easier method of explaining things.
When I am dealing with a old-fashioned, obsolete Windows user that is using an older e-mail program I simply put all the attachments at the very end of the e-mail. This will make it appear more normal to them.
Not all Windows programs work in this primitive fashion. But as Mac users, we have become more accustomed to the modern methods of viewing attachments in-line.

I suddenly cannot attach any file to an email whilst using Firefox 5.

My preferred browser is Firefox 5, which I have been using trouble-free until now. All of the sudden, I am unable to attach any file to an email. I simply get a file loading attempt that never times out. At first I thought it was a Yahoo problem, but my work email server will not add attachments either. I downloaded Google Chrome just now as a test, and still can't add attachments. Might this be a Windows problem? Anyone run into this? Thank you. I am my own IT department and it is sad... Katherine

Try clearing your browser cache.
Tools > Clear Recent History... - hit Details and make sure only Cache is selected, then select Everything and hit the Clear Now button.

Can't attach Numbers file to e mail

Hi.....since updating the Numbers program on my late 2013 Mac Book Pro Retina I have been unable to attach small Numbers files (circa 1Mb) to either my Hotmail (Outlook) or Gmail e mail accounts. Within Hotmail I get the message 'There was an error attaching this file'. I have cleared caches etc and re-set Safari but still no joy.....I can however attach photos from iPhoto .....any suggestions?.....Many thanks...

The new document format doesn't always work well with Gmail and other services. How about emailing an iCloud link?
You could also try "zipping" the document and then attaching that.

Trying to attach Excel file to my email...but it is too big...how do I fix?

I am trying to attach two excel files to an email, and each time it goes as follows:
1. push the attach file button
2. chose my files
3. push the attach files button
4. the blue "progress" stripe begins to fill the address bar
5. Then it stops about an eighth of the way toward the end, and doesnt go any further...
I tried letting it go for a while, and giving it time, but it doesnt work. The file size is 34.4 (which I know is huge), but there is only about 20 lines of the Excel being used, but the program is trying to attach 64,599 lines of unused space, and that is why it isnt attaching im sure, but i dont know how to fix it, or if it is even possible.
Please help!

what email provider do you use?
i'd be surprised anyway if it will allow an attachment of that size. the limit is usuall between 1 and 5 MB, some going to 10 or 15 like gmail.
34MB? not unless you have an expensive or corporate email provider.
you can:
1: do like daddypaycheck said and reduce the file size by deleting unnecessary rows or collumns,
2: download OpenOffice.org, or NeoOffice, see if you like that and save it in the native format, usuall smaller file (beware compatibility)
3: use dropstuff or the like to break the file apart into multiple smaller compressed chunks, and send them in multiple emails (the size of the chunks each should match the attachment size limit for your email provider, see their website)
4:this is my favorite - put the file in your Sites folder, in your user's Home folder. open system prefs-> sharing. check the box to enable personal web sharing. go to www.whatismyip.org and copy the string of numbers that appear (that's your external ip). now you can host the file from your computer, and only email people a link to it! the link should be like this:
http://yourip/~your_short_username/name_of_exceldocument.xls
for example, here is my resume in .pdf, hosted from my computer (let me know if it works for you!)
http://67.40.250.86/~Willeyeam/images/WBLResume.pdf
Bam! I'd go with number 4, and test the url in your browser to make sure it works. once you get the page, you can "save as" and download the file. that way people can receive an email with only text, including the url (link) to the hosted file on your computer. then they can "save as" and download the file.
another, more sophisticated way to do this is to write a small .html page that has a link to that file (in your sites folder). name the .html file "index.html" and replace the file by that name which is by default placed in your Sites folder. that will then be your home page at:
http://yourip/~your_shortusername/
Rock on!

I uninstalled Adobe reader, then did the rest of your suggestions but the problem remains. It is only with 3 emails that get resent daily with slight changes to the text. It is like most of the text has been removed from the email.
Thanks for the suggestions and advice

I have a jpeg signature for a signature in Mail account. When I attach another file to the email and se nd it to a Windows -operated recipient, my signature becomes an attachment as well and only the body of the email message is left.

I have a jpeg I have added for a profeesional look to my signature in my Mail acount. When I attach other files to the message and send the message to a Widows-user recipient, the signature is no no seen as a signature and simply becomes an attachment with the email.
What can I do to stop this happening. Thanks

File menu "Attach Files..." then Tick off "Windows-friendly Attachment".

Since the last update, I cannot attach a file to my email in MobileMe. It has always worked until the latest update. Now, nothing happens when you click on the paper clip icon and 'choose' the file to add.

I am using MobileMe on my Mac. Until the last update a few days ago, Firefox always allowed me to attach files to my emails. Now, when I click on the paper clip, and it takes to me find the file I want to attach, and I highlight the file I want to attach and click on 'open', nothing at all happens. the screen just goes back to my email. It always worked before, it does not now. It DOES work on Safari but I hate Safari, i want to use firefox.
