Can't attach Numbers file to e mail

Hi.....since updating the Numbers program on my late 2013 Mac Book Pro Retina I have been unable to attach small Numbers files (circa 1Mb) to either my Hotmail (Outlook) or Gmail e mail accounts. Within Hotmail I get the message 'There was an error attaching this file'. I have cleared caches etc and re-set Safari but still no joy.....I can however attach photos from iPhoto .....any suggestions?.....Many thanks...

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't attach a file in Gmail using firefox, but its working in Safari and Chrome.

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

How to attach a file to the mail

How to attach a file to the mail

I know that this can be done when going to any PDF program and push (send as email)
This also can done with multiple files or even with separate pages from that PDF file (Many programs can do that, like: PDF expert, Adobe Reader, iBooks, PDF Provider, Documents, etc)
But what if I begin to wright an email, then I wanted to attach a file (such as PDF, or word, or any file) , FOR BASIC APPLE MAIL IT IS UNAVAILABLE
You can attach Photo or Video but not PDF or other document
There are some email programs that can attach files to email such as my.mail (as you can see from the photo)
But why Apple don't provide such simple service ???

How do I attach a file to a Mail doc without the file being opened in the Mail document?

How do I attach a file to a Mail doc without the file being opened in the Mail document?

You will (often) see a preview of the attachment, depending upon the file type. To get rid of the preview: control click on the attachment select "View as icon".
(What the recipient of your message sees is dictated by that person's email application. If you want to make sure the person gets an attachement which is not previewed, you can zip it (control-click, "Compress...") and then attach the zipped file(s). Or you can try something like Attachment Tamer.)

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.

Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to Mac from Dropbox

Please help! Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to iMac from Dropbox. Says I need the newer version of Numbers each time I tried to open the file. I am 100% sure that I had the newest version. Spoke to the AppleCare guy and after doing the checks he is also sure that I had the latest version of Numbers and AppleCare can't help. He suggested that maybe i should run it on a file repair program...any suggestion?... please help...

I've read reports of people having trouble when storing Numbers 3 documents on Dropbox. I think it's related to the fact that they're not really "files." They're "packages" that look like files. I had thought that Dropbox had cleared this up with their latest update. You should be on Dropbox version 2.4 or later.
If you have Time Machine you may have some luck going back in time and restoring the document from a previous version.
Storing Numbers documents on iCloud works much better, at least for me, and (unlike Dropbox) iCloud facilitates automatic syncing to other Macs and iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID.
Perhaps you could consider keeping Numbers documents in iCloud instead. iCloud is deeply integrated into the app, and now works well.

How to attach a file to a mail in iPad

How to attach a file in my mail in iPad

You cannot. The Attach code in browsers means let user browse file system. You cannot access the file system, therefore the mobile version of Safari doesn't allow it.

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.

How do I attach a file to a mail message with my new iPhone?

My daughter wants to know how to attach a file to a mail message and even send a file from iCloud to someone via iPhone mail.
How do we do that?
Thanks,

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.

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!

I can't attach a file or photo in hotmail or windows live please help

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.
