E-mail locked-up after trying to send a large video file.

I've restarted several times and e-mail is still locked. It still wants to send the file. There are three e-mail addresses aol, gmail and me. I sent from aol first and got a message to try another due to file size. I thought it would let me know if the file was too big tp send but it locked up and wouldn't let me do anything even after a forced quit.

Assuming that it's not still trying to send the video, then you could do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Is there a way to send a large video file through email, not using websites?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if there is an easy way to send a large video file through email, not using websites such as yousendit.com.
If anyone knows please respond, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

No there isn't. Most all Email providers, whether your ISP or some other provider like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft with their Outlook.com or Office365 and Apple's own iCloud system, have a linit on the max size a email can be. Most are around 10MBs some slightly larger but if the vieo you want to send to someone it larger than that you will have to upload it to a website and then have the people you want to view it download it from that website.

How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

Mail not working after trying to send a very large file - how to "unclog?"

Yesterday, I tried to send a file with Gmail via Mail and it was evidently too big. I have deleted it and it no longer appears in the Outbox, but Gmail doesn't work on my Mail anymore. It's constantly trying to sync with Gmail, unsuccessfully. It's slowing down my computer and I don't receive Gmails. If I try to mail with Gmail through Mail, it takes an extraordinarily long time and 99% of the time doesn't go through.
My Yahoo account is working fine. I can also access Gmail online (but I hate it!) -- so the problem is somewhere between Mail and Gmail.
What to do?
Thanks!

I have the same problem and have tried stopping everything in the Activity window but when I click 'Get Mail' or quit and re-open Mail, the problem recurs so I have no mail after 1930 on Thursday despite there being new messages in my inbox.
There are 5 Activities shown; all of which show the barber's striped bar although it doesn't move.
Opening Mailbox

It is working on my Macbook (10.6.4); just not on the iMac (10.6.5) so definitely not something router-related and the iMac wasn't working on 10.6.4 either so not convinced that has anything to do with it.

Mail not working after trying to send videos. Spins trying to bring in new mail until I force quit.

Yesterday I inserted some videos in an email. Wouldn't send: too big. I removed one at a time. Same message. No choice to delete the email, so I clicked try later. Evidently it tried 33 times, because there were 33 copies of it in "recovered files." I deleted those, but Mail still won't work. I have to force quit to close Mail. Turned off computer. Back on, it keeps doing the same thing. The gear spins next to the inbox, and it won't stop. Brings in no new mail.
Mail works on my iPhone, so I think I it must be corrupted on this iMac (10.6.8). what can I do?
Thanks for any help!
Ginny

More info on this, still from me! The emails in the recovered messages folder that I deleted are STILL there! The same 33 copies of the email with videos pasted in. How can I get rid of them? I'm pretty sure that they are the problem...the program is still trying to send them or something!
Please, someone...help!

I want to send a large video file from my Iphone to people via E-mail

Does anyone know how to do this?

If the video is in your photo app, you can just attach it to an email.
In the mail app, create a new message, in the body, double tap to get the Select/Paste selection tab, and press the right point arrow. you will get the option to "insert Photo or Video" which will take you to your photo's, select the video and it will be inserted as an attachment.
Of course, your mail provider's file/attachment size limits will apply, so if the video is too large, it won't get sent.

I get an error message File too large for formatted drive when trying to copy a large video file (~50GB) to a new 64 GB USB drive. Any thoughts?

I am copying from a MAC to the new drive - not sure the format of the USB drive, whatever the SANDISK Cruzer is default formatted to..

You state that Cruzer is formatted which is proably FAT32. FAT32 has limits on file size of 4 GB.
Since you are copying larger files then you will need to reformat.

Trying to send large video file...

I am trying to send a quicktime video file via my mac mail. When I try to send I get error that says my server only allows files 29.6mb and smaller. How do I send larger files (the one I want to send is 58.6mb)

I did some digging, and if you aren't scared of Terminal.app, and the recipient on the other end is a Mac guy (or gal) and is not afraid of Terminal.app, there is a built-in unix utility that will do what you want.
To learn all about it, type man split
As an example of how to use it, suppose you have a big file called "Movie.mov" that is in your Movies folder. cd ~/Movies to change directories to your Movies folder. Then type split -b 4m Movie.mov movseg
This will purportedly take the file "Movie.mov" that is in your home directory's Movies folder, and split it into multiple files movsegaa, movsegab, movsegac, ...., not one file segment exceeding 4 MB (the "-b" option is segment size in bytes and can be a plain number or append a k for kilobytes or m for megabytes, the latter as in this example).
Now you can email each segment as an attachment in its own unique email message.
The recipient should download all the attachments to the same place (to make it easy) and cd to that directory. Then type
cat movsegaa movsegab movsegac {list of remaining movseg-- filenames separated by spaces} > Movie.mov and it rebuilds the original "Movie.mov" file.
I didn't try this with a movie file, but I did try it with a 140MB ".tgz" file and with a small text file. The MD5 checksum of the original and the reconstructed files were identical and I was able to uncompress and unarchive the .tgz file with no problem, and could open and read the reconstructed text file with no problem. You'd probably want to "trial" the reassembly yourself before emailing all of the file segment attachments, though.
The only problem -- if your recipient isn't a Mac user, I don't think Windoze command line supports these two commands.
Also, if your file is really really big and the automatically generated file segment name suffixes aa-zz (26 x 26 possible files segments) isn't enough to handle the total number of file segments that you'll need to fit through the email servers, include a " -a 3 " option either just before or just after the "-b {segSize}" option to make filename suffixes aaa-zzz (26 x 26 x 26 possible file segments -- your recipient will love you!) One could put together a unix script pretty quickly to rebuild a gazillion file segments into a reconstructed copy of the original, though.
PS - your .mac account may allow you to send a file attachment as large as 29.6MB, but many email providers only allow their customers to receive files up to 10MB in size, and some are even more draconian than that, imposing a 5MB limit (two local universities immediately come to mind). They will reject the attempted inbound delivery and you, the sender, may or may not get notification of that event from the recipient's server. So be sure to follow up with another email asking if the recipient received the "N" email attachments and did (s)he get the file reassembled okay.

Mail won't stop trying to send!

I tried to send a short video and I guess it was not a valid format for mail to send in or it was to big? But now everytime I open up mail it automatically tries to send and send (volleyball spinning) until it stops and abruptly quits the whole program. Of course while the spinning is going on I can't get into the drafts folder, where I believe the vid is, to delete it. I can't move the coursor, can't get into preferences, or into any other app at all untill the spinning stops and the app quits by itself. Because of this I can't use mail so I got so frustrated that I eventually just deleted the whole app and told myself I would just reinstall it. Instead of reinstalling the whole OS I used a shareware program called Pacifist which lets you install specific apps from the DVD. I finally installed mail again and once again to my demise it open up and immediately started to try to send or got caught up on this "bad file" froze and finally quits like always. I've done disc repair, I've gone to my mailboxes on the web and tried to delete this file or whatever it is and it's not on my web mail. Webmail works fine but everytime I open up mail it does the same thing. Basically i can't use it. Is there a way to have mail stop trying to send/recieve/read files so I can delete whatever is keeping the Volleyball spinning or I'll just be fine deleting all of my e-mail and starting all over again with a bare bones mail app? Please help!

Any message that isn't successfully sent remains in the Outbox mailbox and this is why the Mail.app continues to try to send it when re-launched.
With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox.
The Outbox.mbox represents "Out" in the mailboxes drawer and is shared by all accounts.
Delete the Outbox.mbox and empty the Trash. This will delete the problem message.
Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder and this should resolve the problem.
Since you re-installed the Mail.app from your Panther install discs using Pacifist and unless your Panther install discs include 10.3.9, you need to download the 10.3.9 Combo Update and re-install 10.3.9 to get the Mail.app to the current version as of 10.3.9 if your OS version details are accurate.
What was or is the size of this video attachment?
All email attachments must be encoded before the message is sent which increases the size of the pre-encoded file. The Mail.app uses MIME 1.0 for attachment encoding which is the internet standard. As a general rule, MIME encoded binary file attachments are approximately 150% of the size of the original pre-encoded file. If the pre-encoded size of this video file was/is 5 MB, the encoded size will be roughly 7.5 MB or even larger.

I tried to send too large an attachment using mail,and now mail is hung up trying to send any message. How do I reset mail?

It will time out, if it hasn't already. Delete the message from the Outbox.

Mail.app unexpectedly quits b/c I tried to email VERY large photo files

Help! I (stupidly) tried to email several large photo files from iPhoto via mail.app. All five of these emails are still sitting in drafts folder.
Now I can't even open mail.app. It immediately quits.
I deleted the drafts in Finder (or at least I think I did) and emptied trash. Still doing same thing.
Here is what Console says at the time I first started having this problem:
6/8/12 5:51:44 PM com.apple.launchd[87] ([0x0-0x14014].com.apple.mail[130]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
6/8/12 5:52:30 PM com.apple.launchd[87] ([0x0-0x1b51b5].com.apple.mail[6622]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
6/8/12 5:52:49 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.backupd-wake[6599]) Exited with exit code: 1
6/8/12 5:57:36 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10a420.mdworker[6504]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
A little farther down the log it says this:
6/8/12 8:58:46 PM Finder[114] [QL ERROR] quicklookd crashed while thumbnailing file://localhost/Users/cynthiabartz/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Deleted%20Messages.mbox/Messages/29051.emlx

You might try deleting the file located at:
/Users/cynthiabartz/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Deleted%20Messages.mbox/Messages/29051.emlx
If the quicklook daemon is crashing on it, Mail might be too.

My friend is trying to send me a video but the video won't send because it's to big and my phone has a limit is there any way to remove or manage that please

My friend is trying to send me a video but it won't let her because it's to big and my phone has a limit is there any way I can either manage it or take it off to where I can receive the video please help thank you

Is she emailing this video? If that is the case you will need to contact the email provider you use and ask them to raise their limit. If she is trying to text it there is a 300k limit for MMS.

How do I send a large video off my ipad to an email account?

How do I send a large video from my ipad to an email account?

You don't
most e-mail accounts have a limit. Of course this also depends on what you mean by 'large'. My yahoo caps out at 25 megs per mail.
Your best bet would be to look into a service like dropbox. upload it there then e-mail the access codes to those you want to share it with and they can download and view it

Sending large video files from a Mac to a PC

I have a Mac computer. My son has a PC. I want to send him some video files - some individual files are 12GB in size. I understand that 16GB flash drives will not help me because they have a limit of 4GB per file.
I thought I would put the video files on a hard drive with my Mac computer and send the hard drive to my son so that the video can be seen or downloaded on his PC computer. The video files are in HD high definition. But I'm sure there are compatibility problems I can't begin to conceive.
I know I could use TOAST to make a dvd-r of the video files that can be played on a dvd player- but they would no longer be HD. I have Toast 9.
Also - about these media drives - could I just put my HD video files on these new 'media' drives which can be connected to a TV ( that's the only other option I can think of ).
I've also heard of software called MacDrive8 which supposedly makes a hard drive accessible to both PC and Mac computers. Has anyone used MacDrive8?
How do Mac PC people share mega HD files these days?
More info - This video file of the recent Little League Championships is in mpeg-4 format. Would Real Player or QuickTime on a PC play them ?
As a last resort I could break up the video file into segments of 4GB or less and put them on a Flash drive - I think Mac/PC compatible Flash drives exist right ?
thank you

The 4GB single-file size limitation is because of the FAT32 file system usually used on these flash drives.
An alternative would be to use the NTFS file system on these flash drives since it does not have the file size limitation and is also native for Windows PCs.
But, while MAc OSX can read and write from/to the FAT32 file system, it can only read from NTFS file system.
To enable write access to NTFS drives, you have to install a third-party file system driver like the free NTFS-3G http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ or the commercial Paragon NTFS for Mac or Tuxera NTFS for Mac.

See my answer above. You run into the same compatibility issues as with a flash drive.
I know I could use TOAST to make a dvd-r of the video files that can be played on a dvd player- but they would no longer be HD. I have Toast 9.
Personally I wouldn't do this: too pricey (the discs) and not very praticable.
Also - about these media drives - could I just put my HD video files on these new 'media' drives which can be connected to a TV ( that's the only other option I can think of ).
Sorry, I don't know. Haven't looked into these devices that much.
I've also heard of software called MacDrive8 which supposedly makes a hard drive accessible to both PC and Mac computers. Has anyone used MacDrive8?
MacDrive is the "counterpart" so to speak to the above mentioned NTFS file system drivers for Mac OSX.
It enables Windows to read and write from/to drives (harddisk, flash drives, etc.) that use the Mac OSX file system (MacOS Extended).
How do Mac PC people share mega HD files these days?
Either NTFS drivers for Mac OSX or MacDrive for Windows.
More info - This video file of the recent Little League Championships is in mpeg-4 format. Would Real Player or QuickTime on a PC play them ?
Don't know. Don't use video files that much. Sorry
As a last resort I could break up the video file into segments of 4GB or less and put them on a Flash drive - I think Mac/PC compatible Flash drives exist right ?
When using FAt32 file system every disk is compatible to Macs and Windows PCs.
