Attaching photos to emails as icons

I want to send photos as icons that the recipient will download and view rather than embedding the photo in the actual text of the email. By searching through past posts, I found this same question from another user. The solution was to +Right-click → View as icon+. I don't understand the instruction. What is 'right-click'? I have tried everything I can think of and can't find the option to 'view as icon'. Can someone explain?

To Right Click - depress the control key and click with the mouse on a single button mouse

Trouble attaching photos to email with iMac

When I try to attach photos to emails with my iMac, it always puts them in the email instead of attaching them. I'm clicking on the paper lip and selecting the photos, but it then inserts the photos into the email.
Thanks

Either control+click or right click on the attachment within the body of the email and select 'View as icon'. You may also want to check that 'Always send Windows-friendly attachments' is selected in Mail>Edit>Attachments.

Cant attach photos to email after "upgrade" to Photos...why?

HI,
So recently Apple updated (hijacked) my iPhoto app on my computer with their "new and improved" Photos software. While is good to have some long needed features like a useful file system, I seem to have lost some core functionality. I use Outlook as part of Office for Mac and can no long attach photos to emails. Yes, I know Apple and Microsoft hate each other and neglect if not sabatoge each other's stuff, but attaching a photo/image to Outlook email seems to be basic functionality Apple left out.
PLease discuss this and let me know if I'm missing something simple or how I might be able to fix this major problem. Otherwise how do I downgrade my software to the last iPhoto version so I can once again send an image over email.
i Realize that Apple may not have done this intentionally, but I never volunteered to be a beta tester for their new software. Apple is niave if they think people don't use MS Office on Macs. BTW, I have 3ipads, 3 macs, 2iphones and just purchased 4 watches...I hope there is an easy fix for this.
THanks!
Jeff

Nothing was hijacked. iPhoto is still on your Mac in the Applications folder. It was just replaced in the Dock with Photos during the 10.10.3 installation. If you were running iPhoto 9.6.1 you can still use it with your iPhoto Library.
It's MS's responsibility to update Outlook so it can work with Yosemite and Photos, not Apple's The same goes for all of the may other applications. It's the developers of those apps that must do the job. So don't blame Apple for their dropping the ball.
And remember upgrading to Yosemite was entirely voluntary on your part.
If you don't have iPhoto 9.6.1 then you can get it by following Terence Devlin's method in this post:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

'Attach photo' to emails and messages has stopped working. Help?

— Relatively new iPhone 6+ with latest system ...
If on a mac, I'd be running a disk utility or looking to overwrite an app, or re-install the system.
Although over 25 years on Macs, this is my first iPhone... and I'm missing a few (probably) subtle things to do to resurrect this function.
Help?
Thanks

Hi CartoonBob,
If you are having issues with being unable to attach a photo from Mail on your iPhone, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

AdBlockPlus is preventing me from attaching photos to emails I want to send via gmail. How to I fix this?

Quite some time ago I switched to Mozilla Firefox, and installed AdBlocker. Have had NO ads since then and have been very happy with it. Ever since I've had AdBlocker, when I go to attach a file to an email I'm about to send in gmail, I see a little word "Block" pop up over "Attach a file". I just always ignored it. Now, however, I find I am unable to attach photos I want to send. When I click on that little word "Block" I get a whole menu that I don't really understand titled Add AdBlock Filter Rule.
It shows this in the "New Filter" field at top: "||mail.google.com/mail/uploader/*. Under that a "Blocking Filter" radio button is selected, and under, under "Look for "Pattern", I see the item "mail.google.com/mail/uploader/*" is selected. At the bottom of the screen is a radio button "Custom" that has https://mail.google.com/mail/uploader/uploaderapi2.swf after it, but that button is not selected.
I just removed all custom filters in an attempt to get rid of whatever is disallowing me to attach photos. But that didn't work. Any ideas? I'm lost.

OK. Thank you. Is there any way to get rid of that little "Block" pop up above over "Attach a file" when composing an email in Gmail? I think the problem I'm having (being prevented from attaching photos to emails) is because I may have inadvertently clicked that Block pop-up numerous times. I can't think of any time when I would want to block myself from attaching items to email I compose. So I don't really need that pop-up. How can I stop that from appearing?

I cannot attach photos to email since iOS 8 was installed yesterday.

Since I installed iOS 8 yesterday, I can no longer attach photos to email. It just cycles and cycles but photos will not attach. PLEASE HELP!! Thank you!!!!

Hello DaynaE65,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. You may want to consider performing a restart, or a reset to address the issue:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities
Cheers,

Cant attach photos to email since i got iOS 8

I uploaded iOS 8 when it came out. Since then I have been unable to attach photo's to emails.

Same here also. IOS and all apps up to date. Gen 2 iPad. Will not attach photos in webmail for Hotmail, gmail or Yahoo mail.
Nothing. They all act like they are attaching the file but just sit and the status icon just spins, and spins, and spins.
Before IOS 8, there never was a problem....Makes me glad I'm using and Android phone.

Using Firefox 4.0 sometimes I can attach photos to email and most often the Attach feature doesn't work. How can I fix this?

I have Firefox v4.0.1
If I restart my laptop or my Desktop, both with MS OS, my email, AT&T Yahoo, Firefox browser, will allow the attach feature, for photos to work for a few photos. The when I click to attach another photo, nothing happens. At first I was trying to attach several photos at once. That didn;t work at all. Then I tried attaching one at a time. I thought I had solved the problem because that will work if I retart first. But then not. This is a problem that could make me go back to using IE. I need to be able to attach photos! By the way, I didn;t have this problem before I upgraded to v4.0.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Cannot attach photos to email in iOS 8.0

After upgrading to iOS 8.0, I can not attach photos to my emails. This has never been a problem before the upgrade.

Which mail client are you using?
Can you mail directly from the Photos.app using the "Share" options?
Apps, that have not been updated to iOS 8 compatible versions cannot see all photos, only the photos in the "Recently added" album. As a work-around send photos directly from the Photos.app or add the photos to an album. Then other apps should be able to access the photos. There is also a bug with accessing photos by third-party apps that will be fixed in the next iOS8 update.

Attaching photos to emails

Mac's seem to attach photos within the message, as opposed to a file that you have to click to open. Most people I send photos to don't have a problem with this, but I have had some people get back to me and say this is a problem (See following)
"I can’t use the image the way it was sent through embedded in the email. Can you please resend it as an attached jpg or tif file?"
My dilemna here is: Is there another way of attaching photo's to emails, (I can't find any other way of doing it) or is it that the receiver needs educating on receiving attachments from Mac users? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are these fellow Mac users telling you this? Tell them to mouse down on the "Save" button in the header region of the email to open a small drop down menu of a list of file attachment names. Or, easier still, mouse down on the image in the message window and drag them to the desktop. Even if a Windows user, I would think that even Windows and Outlook are advanced enough to support a simple drag and drop operation. One other option would be to take your attachment, control-mouseDown, and choose "Archive <filename>", then attach the resultant zipfile to your email.

Attaching photos to email

I have an iphone 4 and want to pick the size of photo to attach to an email before it attaches. My phone used to let me do this but then last night, it stopped and now only seems to attach a full res pic. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Your profile states you're using iOS 3.1.3 with your iPhone 4, which isn't possible. Which iOS do you have? Jailbroken?
There's never been a "size" option for emailing photos in any iOS version. Emailing videos gives you an option to edit the video to a smaller size.

HT204476 iPhoto to Photo update: Can not send attached photos via email!

What in the world happened to the send by email option that was so user friendly in iPhoto and missing in Photo? I can't attach photos from my email client (gmail) either...Any suggestions?

I'm sorry for the confusion. I understand completely how gmail works, that's not the issue. I only included that info as a possible referenc. To be more specific, sharing photos from iPhoto was easy. Options to share using message, email, Facebook, etc were always available. Now that Photo has replaced IPhoto, my share are similar HOWEVER, the option to send or attach via email is not available / blocked out. Does this help?

I am not sure now what to suggest other than contacting your e-mail provider to see if they have any ideas. Even with a full sized pictures, mine have always gone through. Hopefully someone else will see this and be able to offer some help.
