Can't attach files in yahoo email with Lion

After installing Lion, I'm unable to attach files from my Yahoo email account.!x?
Also, I am unable to print from my Epson NX 400 printer as Epson has provided an update for Mac OS X v10.7+
Anyone have recommendations to correct issues, other than deleting Lion and reistalling Snow Leopard?

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.

Can't attach files in any email AOL, yahoo, or company. Also only shows blank page when accessing yahoo email.

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.

Why can't I attach files using Yahoo email? I've clicked on 'Attach files more easily' and nothing happens. With all other browsers, I have no issues attaching files.

I want to attach Word files to some of my yahoo emails. Instead of the word 'attach' like on all other browsers, Fierfox wants me to click on 'Attach files more easily' and download this. Nothing happens leaving me unable to use Firefox if I wish to use my yahoo email and send attachments, files or pics.

The only way I can open a PDF is to launch the Reader X software and click "open files" from there. Obviously, this doesn't help me since I need to email PDFs to clients, and printing 'n faxing isn't an option.
You don't need Adobe Reader to email PDFs to clients.

Cannot attach files to Yahoo email account since new Safari installed

Hello. I don’t know why, but since I installed the new Safari update, I’ve been having trouble attaching files to my Yahoo email account. The entire Safari just sort of freezes. I can’t even click on anything.
Another minor but irritating problem since the installment: sometime video clips cannot be played (like on Youtube). I would have to quit and reopen to get to usual condition.
Anyone know how to solve these problems? Thanks!

HI,
The problem is BrowserPlus. It's not compatible with Safari 5.
Instructions for uninstalling BrowserPlus here. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/browserplus/uninstall.html
If you don't want to do that, you revert to the previous version of Safari, instructions here.
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/downgrade-from-safari-5-0-to-safari-4-0-5/
Then update to Safari 5 at a later date.

Can not attach photos using Yahoo email account

I am new to the Mac OPS and maybe it is just something that I do not know, but why can't I attach photos to an email using my Yahoo email account? I have read the way to change the preference of email providers, ie: entourage or mac mail. But I have neither accounts. I was just wondering if there was a way to do this, or if the program could be updated so that it could be possible.

Yahoo email is a service not an application. If you have the Pro version of this service then you can set it to work with one of the applications in the iPhoto preferences. Otherwise you'll need to use one of these:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a 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 iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
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.

How can I attach file to an email when I am reply on a received mail

Any one can help with problem?

AFAIK - you can still only email files from within the app that can read and save the file.
In other words, you have to launch the app that contains the file that you want to email - and typically there is an arrow icon or a tool icon in the upper right corner of the app that you can tap on and select "email document" from a popup window. When you make that selection to email the file, the mail app opens on the screen and attaches the file to the email.

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.

Suddenly I am unable to attach files in yahoo email while using firefox, but when I use IE, there is no problem in attaching files. The problem is existing for last 5 days.

Even files of small size are not getting attached in yahoo mail when I use firefox. However there is no problem when I use IE.

Thank you jscher2000. Yes my PDFs do contain the .pdf extension. I tried your excellent idea to utilize the drag and drop method, but I still get the same error message with PDFs. I have no problem attaching photos or Word documents with either method; just PDFs.
For further diagnostics, I started composing my email in Safari, attached all my pdfs and saved my email as a Draft. I then went to Firefox, opened the draft to continue working on it, and voila! There are all the pdfs I attached previously while in Safari. I was able to send the email with attachments through Firefox with no issues. The attachments went through and were able to be opened.
I am mystified, as Firefox has been trouble-free with my email account, and I have never had this particular issue till today. I made no changes to anything else on my computer, but I did notice very late last night that Outlook had one of those typical messages at the top of my Inbox to refresh my browser since Outlook had been updated. I refreshed and shut down for the night, and when I rebooted this morning that is when I discovered this brand new glitch with attachments. I'm assuming this has something to do their last update.

Very slow attaching files to Yahoo Emails and Browser Plus will not set up.

Very slow uploading attachments to my Yahoo Emails. I tried their "Attach files more easily", but "Browser Plus" hangs at "Almost done...(You don't need to do anything) " screen. I have Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.6 and only use Yahoo for emails. Yahoo are no help, could it be browser settings?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week ago.

Walter2323, Sorry to learn that you are having this issue and welcome to the HP forums,
Have try using this tool to install the printer GO HERE give it a try please let me know if you encounter any errors.
Another Step that I will take is to disable all securtiy applications before installing the printer this will ensure that one of this application is not blocking a critical process needed to properly install the printer.
Are able to print from the computer via usb and/or wireless?
Hope this helps and let me know if I can assist you any further;

How can i attach files while composing email in safari??

How can we attach pdf or other files while composing either directly in Mail OR using safari in ipad2 ??

this doesnt work for me... u should be able to attach files with the "attach files" paper clip, but safari goes as far as opening up a window and choosing which attachment I want but then nothing happens, no attachment. I don't have this problem with Chrome, I never had this problem when I had the Snow Leopard OS, should never have changed from Snow Leopard, it was solid! Going off macs since Lion, Mountain Lion, too many glitches
So can anyone help with this problem? I'm sure I'm not the only one...

I can't attach files to my email

I can't attach any file to my email, because once I click the "browse", the screen will become frozen. Until I click "escape" it will come back to the normal state. But I can never attach anything. Please help me. I am wondering if I happened to click something so that my keyboard settings are changed.

It's hard to suggest what to do, as I don't know your computer make or program. (You might want to complete in your Public Profile on the left.)
Assuming you're an Apple user:
1. Open Mail.
2. Drop the attachment right on the text.
3. Click "Send."

Can no longer attach files to yahoo email

Everything was fine until yesterday. Now when I try to attach a file it indicates that it is doing so but never actually finishes. I have waited for over 10 minutes for a small WORD document that previously had attached in a few seconds. I'm using yahoo and when I get there via MSN explorer 8 it does work, but not with firefox.

Please create a screenshot of the problem you're seeing by following the guide mentioned at [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]].
Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the '''Browse...''' button below the ''Post your reply'' box. This will help us to visualize the problem.
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

I can not get to my yahoo email with F4. Everything I click on comes up "Not found. The requested URL /mc/showMessage was not found on this server."

MF4 doesn't work with yahoo email

Since something is not being found on the server the problem here is not with Firefox most likely. There may be some type of caching going on here. I would suggest clearing your cache and if the problem persists contacting Yahoo. You can clear your cache by following the instructions found on this page [[How to clear the cache]].

Bug ? I Can't attach files to mails in Mountain Lion...

Shift-Cmd A no longer works and neither does clicking on the paperclip icon at the top of the message window. For the moment I am having to cut and paste from other programs but it can't go on like this ! What's the problem and where to fix it ?

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.
