Can't attach some files when sending an email through Safari (via Gmail)

I'm trying to send an email to myself, and I can't seem to attach files that were created using iWork programs (Pages, Numbers etc.) How can I get Safari/Gmail to allow me to email these files?

I can't seem to attach files that were created using iWork programs (Pages, Numbers etc.)
These are not files; they are folders that appear as files to the user. To email them to anyone you must create an archive (.zip file) of them and email that archive to the recipient.

  • Why can't I attach a file when sending an email [in firefox]

    When I am sending an email in fire fox I am unable to attach a file. When I click the button,nothing happens. I am able to attach files when I use a browser other than fire fox.
    Can you tell me why this happens only in fire fox.

  • OWA : Unable to attach a file or send an email

    Hello,
    I have two different users: 
    - The first is unable to send mail from the new version of OWA 
    - The second can not attach a file 
    I tried: 
    - Their profiles on different PCs, the problem persists. 
    - Their PCs with different profiles, no worries for other profiles. 
    Passing Light version of OWA it works. 
    Exchange version 2013 SP1 is installing. 
    Could you please help me? 
    Thank you very much

    Hi,
    I would like to verify whether you have other users. If yes, please verify if they can send emails with attachments.
    "The second cannot attach a file.", do you mean she/he can't add an attachment to a message or if she/he add an attachment to a message, this message fails to deliver?
    "Passing Light version of OWA it works.", do you mean that both of the problematic users won't have issues when they use light version of OWA?
    Best regards,

  • When sending an email through windows live I get an error message from WebKit2WebProcess.exe

    Hi,
    Every time when I try and send an email from windows live I get an error message from WebKit2WebProcess.exe.
    Not sure if I deactivate this from Windows live whether I will compromise my security.
    Any advice would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Becky

    Thank you Matt. I'm sure this will be frustrating ...but the more I think about this problem there more info I have to share. The emails I write that do not get sent do end up in my "sent" folder but never reach the recipient. And, most perplexing, the issue/problem is sporadic. It was coming and going before I switched over to the SSL/TLS option in T-bird. And...since the switch it has reappeared and disappeared. I have made zero changes other than the above mentioned. I did get a security update today for T-bird perhaps this will help?
    I read your link, thank you.
    I obviously don't understand how these systems work. I'm baffled how an issue like this can come and go...

  • Problems when sending an email through a servlet

    Hi I have a servlet trying to send an email to an address given.. but the servlet does not respond at all, it doesn's throw any exception nor displays any message, anything I hope you can help, this is the DoGet method I have in the servlet:
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    System.out.println("In doGet method");
    StringBuffer body=null;
    try {           
    body = setBodyMessage(request);
    sendmail(body);
    out.println("<table align=center cols= 2 border=0 width=100% height=100% >");
    out.println("<tr><td>");
    out.println("<div align=center><b><font face=Arial, Helvetica, align=center sans-serif size=4 color='red'> The Change request was sent </font></b></div></td></tr></table>");
    catch(NullPointerException e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    out.println(e.toString());
    out.println(e.getMessage());
    catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    System.err.println(e.toString());
    System.out.println(e.toString());
    finally{
    out.close();
    The function setBodyMessage, sets a properly e-mail body message to be sent by the parameters that come from a previous form page.
    I have this sendmail method defined as follow:
    public void sendmail(StringBuffer mailBody){
    String email = "[email protected]";
    try{
    PrintStream outmail;
    SmtpClient send = new SmtpClient("nyschx06psge.sch.ge.com");
    send.from("[email protected]");
    send.to(email);
    outmail = send.startMessage();
    outmail.println("From: [email protected]");
    outmail.println("To: " + email);
    outmail.println("Subject: Welcome");
    outmail.println(mailBody.toString());
    outmail.flush();
    outmail.close();
    send.closeServer();
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e.toString());
    e.printStackTrace();
    I try it out in a jsp page and the code works but I need it running in a servlet. Can anyone help me please?, thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Are you able to print the value of StringBuffer body before calling the sendmail method?

  • I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!

    I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!

    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.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Installation Failed The installer can't install some files in "/".

    The full message is
    Installation Failed! The installer can't install some files in "/". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    I first received this message when trying to upgrade Pro Tools from 8.0 to 8.0.1 a prerelease for snow leopard. I tried numerous things such as repairing permissions, as well as some pro tools specific things and to no avail. Still got the same error message.
    So then I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all things pro tools from my computer. After a clean uninstall and removing all traces of pro tools I proceeded to try and re-install pro tools from my pro tools 8 disk. About a minute into the process I get the EXACT same error message.
    I know this issue has been going on since even before snow leopard. I really need to get pro tools installed and running again or at least be able to get the program installed. I've isolated pro tools out of the mix because its been several different installers and even an installer from a dvd. I know this is a Snow Leopard or plain OS based problem. I have repaired permissions, created a brand new user, wiped clean and started over. I don't know anything else to do. PLEASE HELP???!!!

    Hi Dean@mac & welcome to the forums...
    Any specifics why it wants to install to / instead of Applications, as an example?
    Seen these threads yet?
    http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?search=Go&q=pro+tools
    One thing to help investigate the issue is to create a new user just for testing that is stock with no add-on's etc., then login there and try to install. If it works there you can bet there is something unique to your original account that is borking that install - otherwise the issue is most likely global to your system and you might be out of luck until/unless a reportedly qualified version becomes available, etc.
    Good luck in any case.

  • I am receiving a notification that says that I am running out of storage space. I backed up time mating to an external hard drive. Can I delete some files to make room?

    I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
    If so,
    When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space.

    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.
