Can't attach files or photos after microsoft update to 8.1

I have a HP Envy Desktop all in one computer which I purchased in April 2013 with Windows 8. Recently my Microsoft automatic update added Windows 8.1. When that occured it knocked my printer off and I reinstalled. I use Outlook 2013 for email. Another new problem I have since the upgrade is attaching files and pictures by the method I am used to and like best....
That is opening the document or picture file and choosing those I want to attach, then clicking "share", "email" and "attach" which includes choosing the size I want. The outlook icon on the bottom toolbar turned yellow, showing the new email was ready for me to complete. I can no longer do this. The process goes through all the steps but does not attach. I am in my mid 70's and have used computers for many years but am not tech savy. What is the gliche here??
I can still open a new email, click on "share", "insert" and choose a file or photo to attach. However, I prefer the method described above and have used it for years as I work on genealogy.
Help!! Thank you.

Reset your phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If that doesn't fix it try closing all of your apps, then reset again.

I can't attach file with yahoomail. after I select the file , and double click it , nothing will be done

I just can't attach any file in yahoomail. when I double-click the file nothing will happen

It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''

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.

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 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.
-log in and test.

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.

How can i attach files in oracle applications

Hi,
How can i attach files in oracle applications ? Is there any thing like open dialogue box?
krishna

Hi Naveen,
While I am searching for attaching files to oracle forms in forum, I found you. I have a question; probably you could help me out. I have a custom form which needs to have the facility to open the text files from C drive and load the data into Oracle tables.
The custom form will be attached to Oracle apps responsibility... We are currently using forms6i.
Could you help me out to open a dialog box which provides the users to open the text files from C drive when user clicks on a button
I have attached d2kcomm and d2kwutil to the form. It complies at the form level
but still it is not showing the dialog box.
I would appreciate if you can help me in this regard.
Thanks in Advance
Ravi.

All of a sudden today I can't attach files in gmail using Mozilla...can in IE & Chrome.

I have cleared cache, cookies, defragged, cleaned computer. I have looked at all the solutions on line and can't figure out why all of a sudden I can't attach files in Mozilla but can using IE & Chrome. Please help. I have not done anything between when I turned the computer off last night and turned it on today.

Mine suddenly broke as well today. I tried everything from resetting firefox, to clearing cache, to starting ff in safe mode. No change. I finally figured out if I turned off popup blocking, it would work. I then figured out I could add mail.google.com to the popup exceptions list and voila, it worked!

You can't in the present OS. If you'd like to see Apple add that capability, suggest such here:

Can't attach files in Gmail since upgrading

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't attach files either in Safari (4.0) or Firefox (3.5.2) in gmail. I've upgraded to the latest version of flash.
Does anyone else have this problem -- and a solution, hopefully?
I'm using gmail's 'Advanced Attachment' features. Turning this off solves the problem, but even the 'advanced' setting worked before Snow Leopard.
Thanks,
- rob

Usability and interface issues with Gmail aside, I did figure something out. (I don't really use Gmail, it just seemed like a good at the time when I was setting up an account for a friend so I could help out with issues.)
I couldn't add attachments to a new message either. In fact, when I clicked the link to add an attachment, the link disappeared. I discarded the message, opened a new one, click the add attachment link, and the link disappeared again.
Turning off the blocking of pop-up windows didn't change the outcome.
So I opened a new message and looked around.
I noticed a little icon in the upper right of the message, just above the To: field, a sort of double square with an arrow in it. It looked almost like icon used on Windows to indicate maximizing the window for full screen, except it had an arrow that looked like the "Forward" arrow when you want to forward a message instead of replying. No tool tip came up so I decided to try it.
This made the message disappear, and popped open a new smaller window which eventually loaded the message. Looked about the same as before but without the rest of Gmail. Curiously, the add attachments link actually worked, without disappearing. A dialog popped open (looked like from the OS, not a browser window) and I was able to select a file. It appeared listed below the subject and above the message, with a progress indicator that took several seconds (half a minute?) before any progress happened. It did eventually get started and completed the upload.

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.

My blackberry 8520 device can't attach file *.doc

Dear all,, My device can't attach file *.doc when I want to send an email using attachment file My device is Blackberry 8520 Gemini Need help and suggest here Thanks

OK thanks, that clarifies many of the points. You have successfully registered HRT as well as received all new Service Books, so from that perspective, things should be good to go. A few more thoughts then.

I can't change to another location to attach file
By this, do you mean that you cannot navigate out of the picture folder it initially shows you? If you don't create a new email, can you use the on-device file manager (Homescreen > Media > > Explore) and navigate to any folder you like? If you can navigate via this, can you further select and send your .doc in this manner?
Are you a 100% personal BB or is this a corporate (BES) BB? If BES, then stop now and go see your BES admins as they have full control.
If this is a personal BB, how did you acquire it? Was it purchased directly from your carrier or was it somehow second hand? If it was second hand, you may have a latent IT policy on board from the prior owner...which would need to be removed via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/Remove-IT-Policy-from-personal-pho...
Further, you are one version behind on the OS from your carrier...the most recent they now have is 5.0.0.681. I cannot tell you if your specific issue is addressed in that update or not...but a clean reload of your OS, with this new version, might be helpful. The best instructions I know for loading (upgrade, downgrade, reload) are here:
