Can not attach files in an e-mail
If I use internet explorer 7 I can attach e-mail. But using Firefox 3.6.23 I can not.
Try to clear cache and cookies by doing the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

I can't attach files to my e-mails instead of embedding them in the body of the e-mail. Any ideas?

Mail sends certain kinds of graphical attachments as inline content. The decision to do that was made for you by Apple. There's no built-in way to override it, as far as I know.
The recipient's mail client may or may not take Mail's suggestion to display the content inline.
You have these options:
Zip the files before attaching them to the message.
Use something like Attachment Tamer. (That's not an endorsement — it may cause problems.)
Use another mail client that allows for more control over the format of outgoing messages. -
I can not attach files in my emails. I have to use web mail which I do not like.
I select attachment in mac mail and nothing happens.
This is really a pain.
Help
ThanksNot sure why this problem exist but reinstalling just Macmail will most likely not solve the problem.
If "Cocobop" deleted the "com.apple.mail.plist"? This is kinda the same as a reinstall. Mac applications do not normally just go bad. The answer may be in a reinstall of OSX or an "Archive and Install" of OSX.
But to those reading this post try deleting the "com.apple.mail.plist" first.
And yes the answer to your question... You can reinstall only the Macmail app. -
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 ideaHi 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. -
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. -
Can't Attach Files in 10.9 Mail via Menubar/Toolbar
All of a sudden I cannot attach files in Mail via menu commands. A selection (finder) window opens but all items are grayed out (no matter what location). I can still attach files by dragging them from the Desktop (or other location) into the body of the email.
Isolation:
-Issue persists in Safari when logging into webmail.
--Choosing to "attach" a file to an email (new composure or reply) from the webmail attach links brings up a Finder window with all content grayed out.
-Created test admin user.
--logged in as new user.
--set up Mail w/ an email account.
--attempted file attachment from menubar/toolbar icons.
--works.
***issue is user specific.
Resolution:
-Access primary user ~/Library/Preferences/.
--locate files named "com.apple.finder" .plist (may have multiple files w/ additional characters).
--select all and move to Trash.
--Restart.

Recently installed OX X 10.5 Leopard and ever since, I can't attach files to outgoing Gmail emails.
I've tried in Safari, Camino and Firefox -- no luck.
It does work if I switch to the "older version" of Gmail.
Does anybody know if there's a setting I can change so I can use Gmail normally but be able to add attachments to mail?
Anybody else having this issue?
Your profile indicates you are running a very old version of Leopard which might explain the issue.
Update to 10.5.8 using the combo update (not the auto software update) and see if that fixes your problem. -
Can not attach files to email, can't reply to or forward selected emails.
I've seen others post this problem, but have not been able to find the solution. What has happened is I suddenly cannot attach any files... pdfs, jpgs, docs or anything to my emails. Also, when I hit the reply or forward button on some emails that I have received, nothing happens. On a few, a reply or forward window does open, but there is no rhyme or reason to why some work and some don't. At any rate, I can't attach any files to any of my mail.... new ones, ones I'm trying to reply to or anything. I've seen that others have had this problems occur, but I have not found a solution based on any of the replies. Oh! The other thing is that its only happening on one of my computers. I have an older G4 that has the same mail setup and everything works fine. Its only on my G5 that this happens. I've tried tossing some preferences as suggested from some of the other posts, but still the same. Help me!
How crazy would it be...
OOPs, you don't want to ask me... I always resort to crazy things when nothing else works!
Quit Mail. First I'd backup your whole Mail folder. Right click on it, choose Archive. Move the Mail.zip to a safe place. Only the plist will be separate.
Try dragging this file to the Desktop, (in case we need to put it back), first, then logout/in, reconfigure your account required on this one...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
If that doesn't work, now that you're all backed up & can get back where you are now... give it a rtry! -

In any web mail program AOL, Yahoo, my companies you can not attach files when composing an email. By the attach button/icon it says "no file selected" (or when you hover over it). This happens in safe mode also. Also browser speed is very slow. After logging in to my yahoo mail I get a blank page. In the title bar it says I have x amount of emails.
I reinstalled Firefox and for about 60 seconds it was fast and yahoo opened fine and I was able to attach emails in yahoo and my company account. After that it reverted back to being slow and not attaching and opening yahoo to a blank page.
I have run spybot and malware and removed all found threats. I believe something is infecting Firefox. IE and Chrome do not have this problem. Any help would be appreciated as I am at a loss.antivirus was not a problem since there was not one installed. Firewall settings are fine. I did just finally resolve this issue. Spyhunter was able to detect a couple of hijackers that the other programs did not and this fixed the problem. As I stated in the original post I did suspect this was the issue. The lesson learned is to run multiple malware programs until you find one that eliminates the problem if you suspect malware as the problem.

I can not attach jpeg files to Email. I am running XP and use Yahoo mail
I can not attach a picture / JPEG file to an email. I use yahoo email and have XP on the computer. I did not have this problem till I downloaded Firefox. Also since downloading firefox I can not get Internet explorer to connect to the internet.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I loaded FirefoxErnie
thanks for the reply Here are the answers to your questions.
yes each account has it's own drafts folder. and I can save the file into the drafts folder after follow the steps you outlined in your answer. I did repair permission but nothing has changed .

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. -
I am unable to attach files created in Pages to e-mails composed in Mail. I used to be able to do this, but recently all of the files in my documents folders are either showing up as "grayed out" and thus are unavailable to attach, or (worse) they're not even showing up at all. This is true whether they're saved as Pages files or as Word or pdf files. I would like to once again be able to attach files in my Mail e-mail accounts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you attach files from any other location?
I would suggest rebuilding your mailboxes in mail and then repairing permissions. -

If you aren't getting the reset link on the Password & Security section of your account then you don't have a rescue email address (an alternate email address is different), and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID -
Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto function? I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them. This has happened suddenly as if there were some keystrokes that changed the previous pattern. I am not able to upload pictures to programs such as Shutterfly because I can not find them. When I try to upload, the computer takes me to an iTunes folder.
How are you uploading?
