Lion running Safari 5.1 cannot attach files in Yahoo Mail
I've seen a bunch of various threads on this over years, but none have answered it for my situation.
In this case clicking the "Attach" button in Yahoo Mail does absolutely nothing. No freezes or crashes - it just will not invoke a file tree to pick the attachment from.
I just migrated over frrom a 2009 Mini to a 2011 Mini. The exact same browser version running in Snow on the old Mini was working perfectly 2 days ago.
Thoughts?Thanks Carolyn - Done as per your suggestion!
I'm pretty sure this is something I couldn't do in Snow? (I''ve only been using Lion for a few days now). - And/or this is something Yahoo only started to allow recently - before, in the old days POP Mail was an add on Pay feature. IMAP is new(ish) for them. Maybe this is something I never looked for either (old dog/new tricks)
Speaking of Lion - looking to make sure the Yahoo messages were copying off of the Yahoo servers I looked for them in - Home/Library/Mail - but that's hidden in Lion now. Go-> ~/Library reveals that it's all downloading fine.
FWIW - The "ATTACH" button started working again for me this morning without doing a single thing. No restart, didn't quit anything - left the Mac to sleep for 5 hours and tried again and it's working! Strange. -
Safari 5.0 freezes after attaching files in Yahoo Mail
Since upgrading to Safari 5, I cannot use Yahoo mail after attaching a file to a message. The program acts like there is a dialog box open and it is waiting for a choice to be made, but there is no dialog box.
HI,
BrowserPlus is causing problems when attaching files to Yahoo mail. It's not compatible with Safari 5.

Cant attach files using yahoo mail
When I attempt to attach a file in yahoo mail i get an error message. I can attach the files if I use Firefox
The problem is Safari 6...it's buggy and wouldn't allow me to attach any file types to a yahoo email note. I downloaded Chrome and everything works fine. This is my first Apple machine and I have to say I'm disappointed in their Safari browser. The sales guy said I was "purchasing an elegent system that would work right out of the box", I didn't anticipate having to do work-around solutions on day one. What a joke.

Suddenly, I cannot attach files to MobileMe mail
I always use Mozilla Firefox to access MobileMe. Suddenly I find out that I cannot attach files to my MobileMe mail. Please let me know how to fix this.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

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. -
Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 the "attach files" function in my Yahoo Mail account no longer functions. When I click the "attach files" button nothing happens - nothing. No file selection box opens, no error message appears, no pinwheel of death, nothing.
The "attach files" button is no longer 'hot' in FF 4.0.1 either = the "little hand" icon does not appear when I scroll over it. Other action buttons are still 'hot' ("attachments", "emoticons", "format", "hide bcc"etc.) - just not the "attach files" button.
The Yahoo Mail "attach files" function still works when I use my Safari browser, however. So, it appears to be a FF4.0.1 issue.
(Intel MacBook, Snow Leopard, 2gb ram, 360gb hd)You can try to delete the file mimeTypes.rdf

Hello,
I am trying to attach files that I have just recently imported from my digital camera to Yahoo Mail. When I go to attach files, then to Pictures on the menu, I then click on Iphoto library, thats as far as it will go unless I want to attach the entire library (which I don't). Does anyone know how I attach the specific files I want? Thanks for all the help!!DeAnza
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
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.
To upload to MySpace or any 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 THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

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.

Cannot attach files to Mac Mail
Hello,
I have a new Mac mini running 10.8.4. I am transitioning from a Windows PC. I have setup Mac Mail v 6.5 (1508) against Gmail for both my wife and I on separate Mac user accounts. Both of us see the same behavior from both of our accounts. If I try to attach an image through the attachment button, then nothing happens. Nothing gets attached. If I drag and drop the image, then double click on it I get the following error: "The file xyz.jpg could not be opened because it is empty." Location does not seem to matter. I have also tried word & excel docs and when opened they are just empty. PDFs behave like images. All my files where originally on my Windows PC and migrated to the mac. Here are some entries in syslog:

Thanks for your help,
MarkBack up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -

Can not open all .pdf files in Yahoo Mail.
Three computers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer can open all .pdf files in Yahoo
Mail. The fourth and newest Computer with XP Pro, Internet Explorer, and the latest Adobe
Reader can only open some, but not all, .pdf files in Yahoo Mail. Nothing happens when
the window is clicked to open file. How can this be fixed?Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF. For example, our Macs are network homed. Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon.
However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked. I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
Hope this helps.
