Gifs changing to Blurry Jpgs when attached to Mail Messages

Hi,
I frequently pass screen shots to colleagues via email. I usually save these as gifs. When I attach a gif to an email, it automatically converts to a jpg and becomes extremely blurry. If I go to my provider's email browser and attach the same files, they remain as gifs and are crisp and clean but this is a hassle.
What's up with Mail?

I've been a cell phone user since the early days of analog cellular. Back in the days of brick phones, of which I was a user.
I've been a customer of of Cellular One, Ameritech, Verizon, T Mobile, Cingular and AT&T.
I've never experienced loosing my voice mail as I did today.
I considered my voice mail broken since I could not access my visual voice mail on my phone, I could not reset my voice mail on my phone (following the prompts on my phone) and no one could leave me a voice mail message if they called me. I called AT&T customer support and they could not get my voice mail working. I'm not sure what more could be broken, but I would classify my voice mail as broken.
You may find it acceptable to have your voice mail broken (or perhaps cut off) if you change your data plan, but I don't think that's acceptable.
I don't see how I made a major change to my account. I didn't make any changes to the types of data I can send or receive. The only change I made was to opt for a lower cost plan that delivers all the same data. That change resulted in all 5 members of my family plan to loose their voice mail.
You may be correct that all this needed was for it to be reset. But, I can't reset it. The customer service person could not reset it. It took the tech support person to be able to reset it. All of which was about an hour on the phone.
I don't think this experience should be typical. Maybe it isn't. Maybe for some strange reason, in my circumstance something more went wrong. But, that's not what AT&T told me. They told me what I experienced is typical.
So, I thought I would post this for people that might experience this issue, or think about changing their data plan so that they would know what to do.
But, perhaps I was wrong in using this Discussion site to post what I thought might be helpful.
I'm sorry. I will (as I told a previous poster) delete this post. As soon I as I figure out how.

How can I attach a jpg file in a mail message as the file icon, not as an opened image in the text?

How can I attach a jpg file in a mail message as the file icon, not as an opened image in the text?

what's wrong with this picture

Several weeks ago I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed. I spent several hours resetting all of my devices. The new ID seems to be recognized everywhere except when I'm asked to enter it for app on my computer.

Several weeks ago I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed. I spent several hours on the phone with a tech resetting all of my devices. The new ID seems to be recognized everywhere except when I'm asked to enter it for app upgrades on my Mac-Pro (10.8.5). When I'm asked to sign in there, the old e-mail address is still shown and I'm unable to change it. Suggestions?

I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed.
There is no such requirement.
You have created an additional Apple-ID, which is different from the one under which you purchased Items from The Mac App Store.
Go back, log in under the OLD Apple-ID and Add an additional email Address there instead.
Apple does not yet have a convenient way of combining Apple-IDs.

When sending e-mail messages to a mail-enabled public folder that have been replicated from old Exchange Server 2000/2003/2007, Exchange Server 2010 environment mails are rejected with NDR.

Hi, I would like to share with you issue that I’ve solved regarding mail-enabled PF that migrated from Exchange 2000/2003/2007 to 2010, I’ve searched & contacted my MVP leader – there’s no official KB regarding this issue right
now, so I’m posting here in order to share this among others.
Note: There’s article(s) that talked about PF replication from Exch2000/2003/2007 to 2010 – this is the same issue as well.
Symptoms
E-mail messages that been sent to mail-enabled public folder in Exchange Server 2010 environment rejected with the following NDR:
“#< #5.2.0 smtp;554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Deliver.Exception:ObjectNotFoundException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message The Active Directory user wasn’t found. ObjectNotFoundException: The Active Directory
user wasn’t found.> #SMTP#”
Sometimes Exchange Server 2010 is documented as well Event ID 1020 on the Event Viewer with this information:
“Log Name: Application
Source: MSExchange Store Driver
Event ID: 1020
Level: Error
Description:
The store driver couldn’t deliver the public folder replication message "Hierarchy ([email protected])" because the following error occurred: The Active Directory user wasn't found.”
Cause
In an environment where Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 previously existed, and all those servers have been removed, there is a chance that an Administrative Group (First Administrative Group or another custom Administrative
Group) remains with a Servers container, but no servers inside it.
During replication, when the Exchange 2010 Store Driver sees the empty Servers container in Active Directory, it's expecting a System Attendant object inside the container and when it is not found the error occurs.
Resolution
To work around the issue, delete the empty Servers container. This can't be done through Exchange System Manager. Use the ADSI Edit tool to remove it using the following steps:
Warning If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other LDAP version 3 client, and you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can cause serious problems. These problems may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows
2003 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server or both Windows and Exchange. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that occur if you incorrectly modify Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify these attributes
at your own risk.
1.
Start the ADSI Edit MMC Snap-in. Click Start, then
Run, and type adsiedit.msc, and then click OK.
2.
Connect & Expand the Configuration Container [YourServer.DNSDomainName.com], and then expand
CN=Configuration,DC=DNSDomainName,DC=com.
3.
Expand CN=Services, and then CN=Microsoft Exchange, and then expand
CN=YourOrganizationName.
4.
You will see an empty Administrative Group. Expand the
CN=YourAdministrativeGroupName.
5.
Expand CN=Servers.
6.
Verify there are no server objects listed under the
CN=Servers container.
7.
Right click on the empty CN=Servers container and choose
Delete.
8.
Verify the modification, and try to send again the E-mail to the mail-enabled public folder.

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

Acrobat 8 Pro WIN-Changing default folder view when attaching a document

Just wondering if anyone has any idea how to change this setting. The problem is this:
-In an open PDF, click on the Add Attachment button
In the Add Attachment Window the Default View is Details and I'd like it to be List instead. Also, is there a way to change the default file location to My Documents? Thanks much.

I remember what the difference is. I used to have different choices. [Open] [Save] [Cancel]
I used to Always choose OPEN for pdfs. I could choose to save later if I decided to keep the file. Is this a change that Adobe made? A browser plug-in, maybe?
I really dont want to save EVERYTHING, and have to remember to drag it to the recycle bin later.
Any help?

JPG files attached to mails - can't open directly

I use webmail applications (not directly 'Mail' from Mac OS) and when image JPG files are attached, and click on them to open them, the computer considers them as 'binary file' and only allows to save to disk - then, on the disk, Mac opens them with single-click with 'Preview' ('Vista Previa' in Spanish Mac OS); why can't I open them directly on the web application? Is there anything I can do (seting) to see the images with a single-click fro the atach icons?

Are these JPG files you receive via email coming only from one user, or any user?
The JPG file email attachment is opened on the BlackBerry using the BlackBerry Attachment Service. It is a core part of your operating system.
First off, try this: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Now attempt to view an email-attached jpg file. Any luck?
If not you might want to upgrade your OS on the device.

Crashing when attaching to ' MAIL'

every time i try and send photos by attaching them to mail aperture crashes also if i just choose 'export'
anyone have an idea whats goin on?
10.5.1 & 1.5.6

Bigslug,
I have the exact same problem as you describe above, and from the beginning i also think it's a bug cause by leopard update, but I was wrong, the solution is both simple and crazy, you just need to remove any 3rd party "color picker" plug-in that was not compatible with Leopard from ~/Library/ColorPickers, then you are set to go, mine was the "Tangerine" plug-in that i was forget to put in trash after I uninstall the main program. After I remove it, no crash on exporting to version or to mail, hoooolaaa.
I'm both frustrating and sad when I cannot export my image from Aperture, and I'm not sure what the connection between color picker and Aperture "export" feature, but it's finally solve my problem, this of course with the help of this post. Cheer, and by the way, I have upgraded to Aperture 2.0, woo lala, what a great software update Apple had provide after such a long wait.
Hope this will solve your problem;

How to play MPG's when attached to Gmail message

I have only had my Thunderbolt for a few weeks. I use Gmail as my primary email program. I recently received an email message with two videos attached. One was a WMV and the other was an MPG. When I clicked on PreView, in Gmail, to play the MPG video, I saw a blue bar and the text reading Loading and then I received an error message "Sorry, this type of document is not supported for viewing". I was advised to install ArcMedia. I can download and play an MPG movie with ArcMedia, on the Thunderbolt. There is no option to Download an Attachment, in Gmail, on the Thunderbolt. There is just PreView.
I do not know how to make ArcViewer the default Media Player. When I installed VitalPlayer Neon, and clicked on PreView to play the attached MPG file, it just kept flashing between Portrait and Landscape and did not play anything.

By regular mail, do you mean setting up the Mail icon to pull down Gmail? Does that download my InBox to the Thunderbolt or does it leave it up on the Gmail server like the Gmail app does?
I do not understand why a media player, like ArcMedia, cannot be set as the default so that I can click on Preview and it will launch ArcMedia and play the MPG.
I downloaded and installed Download All Files. Now, when I click on Preview, it allows me to download the MPG, but then I have to open ArcMedia, find the file, and play it. If I just go to the Download folder and double click on the MPG, it will not play.
I do not know how often I will be receiving MPG attachments, but it is very time consuming if I have to Download, OpenArcMedia, and search for the file, each time I want to play it.

Is there a way to change the iMessage tone when I receive a message on my macbook?

When I receive a iMessage or text message on my macbook, the sound makes a ding. My question is can I change the tone to something other than a ding?

Hi,
In Mavericks (where you posted) > Messages App > Preferences > General Section you can set the Messages Received sound.
In Mavericks this is a sounds from the App or the System Alerts or Sounds from ~/Library/Sounds.
In Yosomite (what you say you have) you now have iOS sounds listed and these are Alerts or Ringtones on an iPhone.
Not since Mountain Lion have you been able to set specific sounds to specific actions or even specific Buddies.

Photo size reduced when attached to mail app, from PHOTOS APP in OS X 10.10.3

When I try to attach a photo from photos app to mail app, the photo size is reduced, even 'ACUTAL SIZE' is selected in mail app.
I have tried out to solve this issue, but could not find any way out. Is this a bug in PHOTOS app? Previously it was happening with iPhoto also, which was subsequently rectified by an iPhoto update.
Pl. help, if anybody has any solution

I made a mistake, sorry. I meant something different than I wrote.
When you share the photo from Photos to Mail, there are no quality settings in the Share dialog at all. The email window will only have the the options "Actual size", "Large", "medium", .... but no compression settings.
Actual size send the actual pixel size. But it is not clear, how badly the quality will be reduced by the compression.
That is why I compared the result to the file sizes that I get, when I use "File > Export", where I can select the quality.
I found that the compression and quality in "Share > Mail > Actual Size" is similar to "File > Export" with the JPEG Quality setting "High".

IE hangs when attaching file to message

Dear Gurus
When trying to add an attachment to message, IE11 opens a new windows and hangs.
It's occurs on at my PC when working on of our Solman systems.
What is the reason?

New blank screen appears:
Upload hangs:

Hello Vladimir
IE11 is not supported as far as i know. Try to downgrade to IE10 and run it in comp mode for selected domains (ALT —> Tools—> Compatibility View settings) and check the file upload again. MS removed compatibility mode from IE11 for some reason.

Attaching a Mail message to an iCal event?

When I put a new event on a calendar day, I like to drag the relevant email to that event. And it works. The problem is with the dragging process. it's very awkward.
When constructing the event it offers options to add a url or a file. But the email file is almost impossible to find. The email's name in the finder gives no clue as to the content.
Does anybody know a way to do this better?

Hi Laurie,
It's true that the dragging can be fiddly. However you don't need to find the file in the Finder. Go to Mail's message list and drag the email from that list into the event's URL field. You should see a shadowy outline when doing this and green plus when the mouse is over the URL field.
Let us know how it goes.
Best wishes

When opening e-mail messages, I get "Warning:unresponsive script", and below that it says"Script:chrome://saff/content/saffplg.js:50 How do I solve this problem?

I am not very computer literate, so I don't know details. It happens every time I try to open an e-mail.

Probably caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension - disable it in the Firefox Addons Manager > Extensions tab.
If you don't have that specific extension installed, there are other "security" add-ons that use the guts of McAfee SA. You'll need to figure out which one it is with a little troubleshooting.

IPhone keeps locking up when deleting e-mail messages

I have been doing some mass deletions of e-mails on my iPhone this morning and the thing keeps locking up.
I am pushing that "edit" button than the "-" symbol then "delete" next to each message in the list view. I'm doing it pretty quickly deleting one message at a time as fast as I can. (BECAUSE I CAN'T MASS DELETE MESSAGES!!!!)
Anyways, it keeps freezing on me. I have to hold the home button for like 5 seconds to make the iPhone come back to life each time. It's really annoying.
Is there a faster way to mass delete e-mails? Or, I am too fast for the phone and am I locking it up?

I was having some wacky behavior with email, and it got better after I rebooted. I held the power/main buttons for 8 seconds until the Apple logo appeared on the screen,
