Cannot attach pages/numbers documents using .mac mail online

When I go to attach a file to an email created using .mac online, all pages and numbers documents are greyed out so that they cannot be selected. word and excel (and pdf's) are not greyed out and CAN be selected. anyone notice this? any reason why?

Gregory,
After I read your post, I tried it for myself, and got an error message that the file could not be uploaded. Then I tried making an archive of the file, and the worked perfectly.
In the Finder, control-click on your Pages or Numbers file, select Create Archive of (your file name). Then email the archive.
Pages files are packages (so I assume Numbers files are too), and they need to be archived before emailing.

  • Cannot send Pages/Numbers/Keynote Attachments to Mail!

    Hello,
    I recieved an email containing a numbers spreadsheet and pages document in my mail app (me.com email address). After editing both and attempting to return to the sender in separate emails, they did not send. It came back and said, "
    Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred
    Diagnostic code: smtp;552-5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential issue."
    I am wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem or whether Apple needs to send out an update to Mavericks!
    Thanks!

    I just tried this with a Pages document (Pages 5.0), sending with Mail.app (7.0), and Mavericks, with my me.com account, to my verizon.net account, and it worked fine.
    Maybe the problem is with the SMTP server you are using, or with your ISP.
    I'd try a different SMTP server, and if that doesn't work, maybe call the tech support at your ISP.

  • I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

    I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

    Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder?  I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
    You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder.  Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks.  I suspect that will work.
    With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages.  If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

  • I cannot open pages, numbers or keynote on iCloud?

    I cannot open pages, numbers or keynote on iCloud?

    Hi..
    Try this support article > iCloud: Troubleshooting Documents in the Cloud
    If nothing there helped, and you are using Safari to access iCloud.com...
    With Safari open, press Comand + Option + E on your keyboard to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari, try iCloud.com
    If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Then quit and relaunch Safari again, try iCloud.com
    If that doesn't help, on your Mac, open System Preferecesn > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it. Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data then try iCloud.com.

  • HT1338 For whatever reason, I can't use (mac) mail on G5 with Charter.  Would like to try Thunderbird (TB) -now using Firefox 3.6.28.  But can't navigate through Mozilla to find older versions  of TB.  Other alternatives

    For whatever reason, I can't use (mac) mail 3.6 on my mac G5 with Charter ISP.   I would like to try Thunderbird (TB) - I'm now using Firefox 3.6.28.  But I can't navigate through Mozilla to find older versions  of TB.  Can you suggest a URL for down loading older versions of TB, or, other alternative email programs?

    I have recently moved from Thunderbird to SeaMonkey - much better and up to date with the latest Mozilla code.
    See my SeaMonkey page at: http://links.zero.eu.org/seamonkey/
    For PPC - download the latest SeaMonkey-ppc from:
    https://code.google.com/p/seamonkey-ppc/downloads/list
    For Intel - download normal SeaMonkey from:
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
    Old versions of Thunderbird can be found here:
    ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/
    The latest Thunderbird for PPC is 3.1.20.

  • I purchased iwork (pages/numbers) on my mac.....how do I get these apps now onto both my iphone and ipad

    I purchased iwork (pages/numbers) on my mac......how do I now get these apps onto my iphone and ipad? When I go to the 'purchased' section in my app store these are not listed.
    Thank you for your help.
    Mick.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iWork has got a version for Mac and another for iOS. You have purchased iWork for Mac, so you can install it for free in all your Macs, but you haven't purchased iWork for iOS.
    You have to purchase iWork because the iPhone and iPad use a different operating system than the Mac and there are different versions

  • Sending audio file using Mac Mail

    What would be the best way to send a short audio clip using Mac Mail to recipients who all have PC's?

    All I know is sometimes I receive documents, audio or video clips from friends who have PC's and they can't be played or opened up on my Mac because I don't have the proper applications to open them.
    I would assume the reverse could also happen depending on the program that created them.
    As an example: What if I send an audio clip taken from my iTunes Library and the person who receives it doesn't have iTunes and the only other program they have is Windows Media Player. Will they be able to open this file up?
    Thanks.

  • Using mac mail 3.6 on leopard OS to connect to exchange server 2010?

    Is there a way to connect to a 2010 exchange server using mac mail 3.6 on leopard OS? I have the server name but cannot figure out how to send mail using the smtp outgoing sever?

    Well, you could try a search for whatever it is after the @sign +mail+setup, like
    google. com mail setup

  • Can't log into Gmail using Mac Mail client

    Wow, after upgrading Lion for iCloud and upgrading my iPad2 for IOS5, I can no longer get Gmail on either one using Mac Mail as the client. I get a little triangular caution symbol next to the Gmail account in Mac Mail.  I tried deleting the account and recreating it, and when the account setup wizard tries to connect, I get the following:
    "Logging in to the Google IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" failed.  Make sure the username and password you entered are correct then click Continue.  If the information isn't correct, you cannot receive messages"
    This doesn't make any sense, since the account has always worked in the past.  Simultaneous to that, I have started having the same problem on the iPad, which never had trouble logging in before either.
    Anybody else encountering this?

  • Pop gmail account using Mac Mail has stopped receiving email.

    I have two pop gmail accounts using Mac Mail.  One has stopped receiving email while one is fine.  Both are set up exactly the same.  Any idea how to fix this issue?

    I saw on Yahoo's site the following:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-40.html
    Does that address your problem?
    I see you're using the UK version and that there's no similar page on the Yahoo UK site but perhaps it helps anyway. Have a look here as well: http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/pop/pop-30.html

  • I use mac mail on my network, when i file it into a folder is stays in my inbox, how do i get it out of my inbox?

    All of a sudden mail ends up in the wrong folders how do i fix this
    i use mac mail, i have three machines with my account set up on it.  Today i find also that when i filed items out of my in box and there is still a copy in my inbox and one in the folder i moved it to, it should only be in the folder i moved it to

    Are they Smart Folders? Smart Folders don't actually hold e-mail messages, but reflect what is filed elsewhere.

  • I use Mac Mail. How do I set up an email to get a delivery or read receipt?

    I use Mac Mail. How do I set up an email to get a delivery or read receipt? In other words, I want to receive automated confirmation that the email was either delivered, opened, or both -- which you can do in Outlook. I was not able to find this option in the Mail menu.

    Unfortunately OS X Mail does not offer this feature as far as I know. With Apple failing to offer that feature up until now I highly doubt it'll happen in the future :/

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.
