Gmail attach file icon does not work

Is there a way to fix this problem? I tried network.http.spdy.enabled to false. No go. I tried resetting all the settings in ie, per a suggestion somewhere, no go.
Safe mode - does not work.
This problem seems to have come from no where. I can drag files into gmail, but the attach file icon does nothing.
Attach file icon works in IE, but I am trying to use Firefox.
Is there a fix or do I need a new computer?

I also have this problem. It just started today out of the blue. Whenever I hit "attach file" in gmail, I never get a "file explorer" popup. Simply nothing happens.
* I'm running 31.0 on Mac 10.8.5.
* I have tried resetting firefox several times. I've tried restarting in safe mode multiple times. Nothing will allow the window to appear.
* I've tried various (old) fixes I found through searching (mostly involving about:config settings) but none worked.
* Drag and dropping files onto a note DOES work (but this is no solution!).
* I have cleared the cache several times but to no avail
* I don't have the stomach (or time) now to completely uninstall and re-install. Not yet anyway.
* This function works fine in Chrome and Safari
I finally went and UNCHECKED popup blocking. Now I get the file popup immediately! So it would seem that somehow Firefox is blocking the file "finder" interface as a popup. What gives?

  • In an outgoing email message the "attach" document icon does not work in firefox. It does work when using internet explorer. How can I get the "attach" key to work when using firefox?

    Using firefox, if I am composing a new message in my hotmail account the "attachment" icon is not active, so nothing happens when I click on it in order to attach one of my word documents.
    The "attachment" icon is active when I am using hotmail and internet explorer.

    Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
    Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

    I keep getting the message: "what should Firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • Mail- Save Icon does not work

    I have noticed with mail since 10.5.2 that the small save icon on the email document does not save attachments / does not work anymore. I have to go to file menu and select "Save Attachments"
    Is this a bug or what ??

    John,
    I only now saw your first post. Have you looked in Mail Downloads folder to see if the attachments were saved there? In Mail 3.x, a quick click of the Save button would be expected to result in an unannounced save to that downloads folder. However, a click and brief hold on the Save button would be expected to result in a Save dialogue.
    More info, please.

  • "Download Linked File As" Does Not Work

    As others have noted, although Safari is an excellent and fast browser, there is one feature that is quite annoying, namely that all filed download by default to a single folder selected in preferences. Internet Explorer (and Firefox, I believe) by default allows the user to save to any folder selected at the time. In each thread I've read noting this problem, someone answers that the solution in Safari is to right click on the link and select "Download Linked File As" then direct the browser to the folder. The problem is that this does not work as Safari downloads only the link (or something else) but not the linked file. For example, if the linked file is a PDF, under "file type" PDF does not appear, only "All Files" and once the download is complete you have an entry in the desired folder but not the file itself. (This is true even if you append the proper suffix to the file name; no actual file.) Is there a solution here or does it really take several steps to get a downloaded file into the folder of choice?

    I just checked a pdf and "Download linked file as" does give me option to save where I want for pdf, jpg files and others.

  • I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit.  The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work.  Any suggestions??

    More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder.  I would like to edit these into a single video production.  I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them).  However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
    Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work?  Or are these files incompatible with iMovie?  If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro).  Suggestions???
    Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

  • Java.io.File renameTo does not work on Solaris

    Hi Experts,
    I have a code-piece which tries to move files from one directory to another on the SAME FILE SYSTEM using java.io.File.renameTo method.
    It works fine when there less no. of files in the source directory. But the renameTo does not work as expected when there are very huge no. of files(~40K) present in the source directory.
    I am aware that there is a known issue when one tries to use this method to move files across file systems OR if the file exists at the destination directory.
    But in my case the file system is the same and the there is no such file in the destination directory.
    I suspect some inode related issues. But not sure what it is exactly.
    Is there any limitations of renameTo?
    Please help.

    OK, we all now understand you have a problem in doing this, but without the specifics of the problem that you are experiencing, then it is fairly difficult to give you anything other than a guess. If you would like some specific and relevent answers, please supply specifics about how exactly the operation differs from your expected results. You should also post example code as it is almost always asked for eventually.

  • Jakarta Commons -- File Upload does not work with Application Server

    Hi ALl,
    I tried Jakarta Commons file upload. In the netbeans, I copied the common jar files "commons-io-1.2.jar" and "commons-fileupload-1.1.1.jar" in the
    netbeans-5.5\enterprise3\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\common\lib and set the class paths. It is working correctly when I compile and run from the netbeans. However, when I deployed in Sun Application Server PE 9.0, I am receiving the following errors. In Sun application I copied the above jars files to "C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\jre\lib\ext"..
    I have read in several postings that it does not work this way but could find any solution. Any idea will be greatly appreciated.

    I solved this few minutes after I posted this question. Thought I should share with everybody, just in case some one else need it.
    I copied these three files in the folder C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\jre\lib\ext
    1. servelet-api.jar
    2. commons-io-1.2.jar
    3. commons-fileupload-1.1.1.jar
    No need to set any class path.
    Thanks

  • Iphone4 - Two Gmail Accounts - Outgoing server does not work anymore

    I started using my private Gmail account on my Iphone and everything worked fine (having found help in Youtube videos about how to set up Ingoing/Outgoing server).
    Now I added my Gmail account from work (ends on .nl instead of .com - Dont know if that matters). I can now access both inboxes but I cannot send emails from BOTH accounts. I then deleted the new account but still cannot send emails from my first account anymore.
    I found that under "settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars->Gmail Account->AccountInfo->OutgoingMailserver SMTP" I now have a primary server which seems to connect to my first account and several "other SMTP server" which contain either details of the first account or the second account (which I actually deleted aleady).
    Should I delete those additional servers? How can I do this? Does anyone have experience with this kind of issue?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    I did put all the informations and still it does not work telling that these informations are not right!!!!
    HELP please

  • Windows 8.1 File recory does not work with EFS, any solution?

    Hello,
    File recovery does not see my encrypted files, as soon as I decrypt them no problem. Is there a way to have File recovery see my encrypted files and back them up?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The behavior is by design.File History doesn’t protect files encrypted by the encrypted file system (EFS).
    But,files stored on a volume encrypted with BitLocker are protected.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Changing application's icon does not work

    Hi,
    I'm trying to change the icon for an application on my Mac (the app is GTPlayerExpress by DSound), but am having no luck.
    If I try to copy an icon from another file to the application's icon.
    File ⌘+I to get the file info. Select the file icon. ⌘+C to copy the icon. Application ⌘+I to get the application info. Select the application's icon. ⌘+V to paste. But nothing happens.
    If I do it the other way round, though, it's ok. I can copy the application's icon to the file's icon. But it never works the other way round, the way I need.
    What am I doing wrong?
    (the application has all read&write permissions for me and is not running. Do I need to modify something inside the application package, perhaps?)
    Thanks for any advice!

    Hi family cat,
    download either Cocktail or OnyX and reset the "Launch Services database". After a restart you should see the new icons.

    First try another normal restart, and see if the file behaves properly.
    If not, check this out Solving Trash problems. Authored by Dr Smoke.
