Can't attach JPEG file to a GMail message

When I try and attach a JPEG file as an attachment to an email on GMail it gives up after a minute and I get the message "attachment failed". Excel and Word files are fine - they work OK. Also JPEG files are fine when I attach them to a an email in GMail when using IE - but not with Firefox 3.6.10. Help please!!

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.

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 Firefox

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 .
one thing i discovered is that I can attach files to the mail if i reply to it. only when i create a new mail in one of those accounts can i not attach any files.
Seeing on the side bar that you are a top user I have another question you might be able to answer
my apple help is not working, when i go to finder and go to mac help the page is blank and if i search it just searches and nothing happens

Can I attach a file to a Direct Message?

No. But you can include a link to an image or a video.

Hi;
FormsCentral does not have anything that enables you to attach a file for others to download. You can include a "Link" to a file you have hosted on another site/server in the form using the "Insert Link" button/tool on the toolbar along the top of the design tab:
Thanks,

I can't attach a file in Gmail using Firefox, I can attach files when using Chrome and Safari, so it must be Firefox.

Any suggestions would be usefule

Try allowing pop up windows
Open Menu
Options
Content (on the top)
Click Exceptions...
Type mail.google.com in address of website area

Try to open attachment window now.
Restart FireFox and try adding attachment again.

Attaching jpeg files

I have been mail for about three months. The only problem I have is attaching jpeg files. When I attach a jpeg file, the picture is show in the email and when I send this email to my friends who are using outlook express or Lotus Notes the picture is embedded in the email rather than as an attachment.
The only way they can get hold of the files is to highlight it and copy and paste into another application ie MSpaint.
Is there a way to attach jpeg files to when they get to the other end they are an attachment? All other types of files attach ok.
Thank you

Hello Simonhl.
You can select an image from, say iPhoto, drop it to the desk top and then drag it to your e-mail. That way image will be received as an attachment. Problem would be that you would need to check the file size of your image as it would be the same as the original in iPhoto-unless the recipient would want it that large, or could reduce it at their end. The image size of your attachment would be visible to you in the e-mail you are composing.

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
I will appreciate your assistance.

Hi,
Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?
I would like suggest you use Clean Boot to troubleshoot if there is third-party software conflict:

No, he said that DW gives him an error message: "Can't open
JPEG file" and
won't allow him to insert the file.

I can't attach any files in safari browser

I have the last update of safari in macbook pro but I can't attach any files on any website or mils but in another browser like chrome ..ext, I can attach files . so I need help
thanks

Hi...
Since you are using a web based email client it's not Apple's responsibility.
But you can try deleting cookies.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Privacy
Click: Remove All Website Data...
Quit then relaunch Safari. Try attaching a file.

Getting error message on import that says can't import jpeg files and won't import

why can't I import from the camera that I always use with my iPhoto? On connecting the camera, error message says "can't import jpeg files." None of my camera settings have changed. Is it a problem of connectivity with old camera and new iPhoto '11?

Not an old camera problem - most likely a memory card format problem - when was the last time you reformated yoru card?
What camera do you have? Does image capture work?

After updating this past time, I can't attach any files to anything.

I can't attach any files to anything on Firefox. This is very inconvenient because I attend college online, and I can't attach any of my assignments like I am supposed to. It is VERY frustrating!

The Gingerbreadman on in that link seems he knows his stuff.
I had the same problem and most of Mozilla's answers on here were so useless.
Anyway - I think your problem is likely to be the Add-On 'Silverlight' - disable it and see if you can then select the attachments link.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

HT2500 how can i insert a file in a mail message i send to someone? i don't want the picture to be open or the text to be displayed. I want to send the file as a file. Pleas advise.

Attach it to the message. An attachment is an attachment -- if it is displayed or not by the recipient's e-mail client is not under your control.
You can zip it (compress it) before sending it; if it's text, you should zip it anyway; if it's JPEG, zipping will not reduce the size (in fact, it's even possible it may increase it slightly), but most e-mail clients do not display what's inside a zip archive.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.
