First attachment problem, any ideas?

Hi all,
I am having exactly the same problem on two different MBPs, Mail 2.11.
After starting Mail, there is a problem attaching any type of a file to the emails.
Upon selecting the file to attach (regardless of the file type) I get the spinning beach ball for up to 5 minutes and then the file is attached OK.
This happens on drag and drop attachment as well.
The really strange thing is that after that i can attach any file without any delay. This also applies to any following emails.
If I close the app and restart, attaching to the first email becomes a problem again.
Strange or what?

Hi i.3d.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations (Parallels in particular, if you have that installed) and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.

    Try this from MacFixIt as well:
    In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
    * Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
    * Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.

  • I work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements.  When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment.  Any ideas?

    i work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements.  When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment.  Any ideas?

    i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist.  It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
    I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution.  I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
    Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Scrollbar problem - any ideas?

    I know another scrollbar problem...ive read the posts but cant solve it. Anyone got any ideas?
    got a program called Map which draws a map (using paint()) of a web site. I can get it to work but often there are so many links they go off the page.I need a scrollbar.
    In main i set up a frame: JFrame frame=new JFrame("M");
    Then set up scrollbar: JScrollPane cf = new JScrollPane();
    cf.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy (JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS );
    cf.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS );
    Then add scrollbar to frame: frame.getContentPane().add(cf);
    Then add Map() - my main prog: cf.add(new Map());
    (Map constructor calls repaint() - paint method draws to screen. main program extends JComponent)
    All i get is a blank (grey frame) with a scrollbar :) ...doesnt show Map - paint
    I can ignore scrollbar and use a container instead -
    Container c=frame.getContentPane()
    then set its layout : c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    and add Map() to it : add(new Mapper(),BorderLayout.CENTER);
    It works fine - but i need a scrollbar...
    Thanks for your time&help

    Hers the code for my main Mapper program (which is loaded first) and the Scan program(below).I know the structures all over the place+thats the problem. I would like a scrollbar.

  • First song skips - any ideas

    The first song in the albums / playlists on my mini always skips.
    After a few seconds it starts playing the second song - though if I click back to the first song it then plays fine.
    It happens on all albums, but only the first song.
    The mp3 files are all from legitimate CDs or iTunes downloads.
    It makes no difference how much charge there is in the battery.
    I have tried re-setting the iPod and then restored it.
    Updating the iPod with the latest software makes no difference.
    It makes no difference if there are lyrics or artwork attached to the songs.
    I fear it is a fault with certain iPods and the only answer is a replacement unit.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers.

    I can't think of a hardware reason for that to happen, but it's odd that it does it with both. You might try going to Microsoft or Apple iTunes support to see if they can help.

  • 5th Gen Ipod Touch not recognised 2 windows pcs and my mac mini, Itune up to date, tried DFU and recovery, returned from apple inspection as working, still no joy, anyone elese had this problem, any ideas?

    Since we had the ipod touch since xmas we have had slight problems with charging and connecting to itunes, i sent back to Apple to repair/inspect, they have returned it back as working fine, tried 2 different windows pcs, my mac mini and cannot get the ipod to connect, Windows tries installing drivers only to say it has failed, uninstall try again, go into recovery mode and dfu, nothing seems to work. I have 2 ipads an iphone 4s which all connect faultlessly. Any ideas?

    Have you tried another cable? Some iPods were shipped with cable that either did no work initially or shortly failed.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the cable too.

  • Hard Disk Problems - Any ideas anyone??

    I recently replaced my ibook's HD with a new one, every thing has been fine until just recently. Mysteriously on my control click menus and other pop up windows like save and open, all system text has turned into code. use the following url for an example http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/whatapileof/menu.jpg . The text is now N21 and things like that. Any ideas? When i tried to do a HD repair in disc utility, the permissions are fine but when i repair the disc it fails each time. I have tried to reinstall the OS but that also fails. I am guessing that the menu text and this repair issue are hand-in-hand. Only thing i can think of is doing a re-format. There’s no other issues that i can spot and the problem is bearable. Im used to doing reformats with windows. never thought i would have to with OSX though. Any ideas how to avoid?? Cheers.

    How did you install your OS onto the new hard drive? Did you do a clean install or did you use one of those disk cloning utilities?
    Have you tried creating a new user and seeing if that new user also has this problem? If you restored your Library folder from an old OS installation, it could have corrupted some Finder preference.
    If all else fails, do is re-format and re-install from scratch.
    I have never seen this before. See if a new user has the same problem. If that doesn't help, since it is bearable, wait a few days and see if someone else reponds to this message and knows a quick fix. If that doesn't happen re-format and re-install.

  • When I open a template I only get the first page. Any ideas?

    Hi, When I open a template in Pages I only get the first page and not the continuation pages. Does anyone have any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

    This same question was asked & answered earlier today. I'll use my same response & the same screenshot I used then.
    Skimming the templates in the Template Chooser shows you all of the pages available in the template once you open it. You can insert the one(s) you want, even more than one of any of them. Most users don't want or need all of the different pages, especially when they start the document.

  • Iphoto export problem any ideas???

    I cannot export photos before a certain date. I have about two years worth in my iphoto and after a certain date I can export. I don't know what is different between the photos. I tried command option while launching iphoto and none of those options corrected them with the exception of two photos. I didn't find anything listed in the type of file except jpg's...no png's as some people have found. And it is strange because after July of 2012 everything exports fine. I don't get it does anyone have any ideas? I would logically think a problem would not resolve itself and be ok after a date with any recently photos able to export and older ones unable to.I haven't added any programs and if I did I would think they would have created the problem not solved it....I want to be able to export my old photos...I have spent quite a bit of time on it...any help would be great. OH and another problem I am out of state and my start up disk is back home in MI and I am in CA

    Take a look at theis thread in the iPhoto forum https://discussions.apple.com/message/21143278#21143278
    If this doesn't help you might post your question over in the iPhoto forum.

  • Bizarre App "de-selection" Problem - Any idea?

    Ok... This is strange enough that I am at a total loss. This literally just started happening this morning for no apparent reason. Basically what's going on is that when I am in an app, like safari or pages, or anything, after about 30 seconds of using the current window everything up top will grey out and the cursor will disappear as if I am switching to another app or something. I have to replace my cursor and continue typing (like I've had to do 3 times up to this point right here). There is nothing else open to be switched to so it really doesn't make any sense... Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Need any more information? Thank you.

    Reformatted... Re-installed OSX SL... Just restored backed up files individually, carefully checking permissions. Problem solved. Works fine. Seems to be the only solution.

  • Funny problem - any ideas ?

    Hi Folks,
    I'm seeing a funny issue and running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.
    Here is a pl/sql block :
    declare
    ctr  number := 0;
    ctr1  number := 0;
    begin
    insert into TableT ( x, y, z)
      select <3 columns> from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
      where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> ;
    -- this inserts 67xxx records. This number varies randomly during runs, no two runs return the same number e.g 67258, 67120, 67118 etc
    for rec in (
    select <3 columns> from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
    where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> ) loop
       ctr := ctr+1;
    end loop;
    dbms_output.put_line(ctr); -- shows the right number that should be returned by the select query i.e. 67105 EVERY time its run
    select count(*)  into ctr1 from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
    where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> 
    dbms_output.put_line(ctr1); -- shows the right number that should be returned by the select query i.e. 67105 EVERY time its run
    end;
    /The query in the for loop is an exact cut-paste job from the query in the insert.
    Theres nothing special about tableT its just a straight create table with NO clauses other than column definitions all of which are number,varchar2(20) and date specified at creation time, no constraints, no triggers. DB is 11.1.0.7 if thats relevant.
    I've racked my brains, cant think of a reason for this. Any ideas ?
    TIA !!!!

    NormHi Norm,
    Too bad you cannot reproduce the problem. It raises more questions and guesses/speculations which is the opposite of what you're looking for.
    Are you getting the problem in an 'isolated environment' (are you the only one doing DML, is this a test database or...)?
    How did you determine the number of rows inserted through your SQL approach (INSERT...SELECT)? SQL%ROWCOUNT?
    Any triggers on table1..5?
    Your example seems to be narrowed down a bit too much, expecially since you cannot reproduce when you try to recreate the problem.

Maybe you are looking for
