I can no longer attach files to my outgoing Hotmail emails. I only receive a message where I would expect the Upload to appear that an error has occurred.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Retina, 2 Ghz Intel Core i7, OS X 10.9.4
I have no difficulty attaching files to the outgoing Hotmails on the same account using my iPhone.
Help appreciated.

Thanks for this - not an immediate solution I fear but will keep unplugging stuff and restarting stuff.
To try and be clearer about the problem - I have in the last managed to send attachments successfully. Now I can send and receive plain email messages but get the error message when I try to attach an existing file to an email - not just a particular file but it would appear all files are being treated in the same way.
An experiment to send a mail to which an attachment has failed to upload got the following message alongside the SEND button
Files with errors will be removed from the email and not sent.
- but the mail alone was sent and received successfully. Thanks for any pointers you can give me.

TS3297 Any idea why I can't purchase stuff off either iTunes or AppStore? I am getting a message saying unknown error has occurred immediately I enter my password.

Brett,
Well done getting the wireless network secured.
You have to precede the (hex) password with a '$' in Mac OS, to tell the Internet Connect dialog box that you are keying a hex password (rather than ASCII). This is because the Mac has detected that the network is WEP protected, and leaves it to you to decide how you want to key the password.
As an alternative, in Internet Connect (or from the AirPort icon menu), you can elect to join an "Other" network. If you select your network again, it'll come up with "WEP Password" as the option of Wireless Security. You can change this to "WEP 40/128-bit hex" and then not have to precede your password with the '$'.
Alternatively, you could tell us the make and model of your wireless router and we can tell you how to set, and use an ASCII password. From your 10-character hex password, we can see that you're using 40/64-bit WEP. Non-Apple routers can be a bit fussy when using ASCII passwords with 40-bit WEP (don't worry, this is also true for Windows PC's using 40-bit WEP too), but we can talk you through it.
As a final alternative, as you have such a whizzy Mac, as long as your wireless router supports it, you could use WPA security, and never have to worry about ASCII / hex / '$', etc. Older Macs (particularly original AirPort cards - not AirPort Extreme - and OS9) were limited to 40-bit WEP.

I have a similar issue.
After updating Pages to 5.2, all Word export documents are 10 times the size they'd normally be.
A normal exported .DOC file that would have been under 200K, is now 1.7MB once exported. !!! ???
This is a major issue with Pages.

Hi rebjrbaker,
I'm guessing that you're trying to log in to the service from within Reader. If that's the case, you may need to update the version of Reader you're using. Choose Help > Check for Updates. You should be using version 11.0.9 (this update was just released on Tuesday, 9/16).
Best,
Sara

How can get Dreamweaver to stop error message: an ftp error has occurred- cannot connect to host?

Dreamweaver is locking me out when I try to connect to the host via ftp. I get the error message: "An ftp error has occurred - cannot make connection to host". This error message started yesterday when I used the wrong host ftp address too many times. I have since received the correct ftp address from my website host, but the system won't even let me log in...it just gives me that error message when I click the connection button on the panel. My website host recommends that I uninstall Dreamweaver and re-install it again. My concern is, if I un-install the Dreamweaver app, which I downloaded from the Cloud, will the Cloud know I've un-installed Dreamweaver and allow me to download it again? Please help.

See my response in your most recent thread. Please don't double post like that - it can confuse things considerably when replies come in to both threads.

HT4211 I can't get words to open. I have no other applications open, but every time I tap the icon I gat an oops error message that a problem has occurred. ***

First try killing Words. When on the home screen double press the HOME button, then swipe the screen image of Words up to close it.
Next, reset your iPhone by holding HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears. If the problem is not resolved delete the app from your phone, reset the phone again, then reinstall the app.

I can no longer attach files in Yahoo mail since upgrading to FireFox 4.0.1. I click the "attach" button and nothing happens - no file list to select from appears; nothing.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 the "attach files" function in my Yahoo Mail account no longer functions. When I click the "attach files" button nothing happens - nothing. No file selection box opens, no error message appears, no pinwheel of death, nothing.
The "attach files" button is no longer 'hot' in FF 4.0.1 either = the "little hand" icon does not appear when I scroll over it. Other action buttons are still 'hot' ("attachments", "emoticons", "format", "hide bcc"etc.) - just not the "attach files" button.
The Yahoo Mail "attach files" function still works when I use my Safari browser, however. So, it appears to be a FF4.0.1 issue.

Hi. I have an older Mac running OS 10.4.11. I absent mindedly upgraded to FireFox 3.6.24 and now can no longer attach files to email in gmail or ymail. Is it possible to load an older version of FireFox and regain this function?

FireFox 3.6.15 and newer require OS 10.5 or 10.6. The latest version of OS X the Macintosh G4 I own is physically capable of running is OS 10.4.11. Whenever I try to attach a file to an email in gmail.com or ymail.com, FireFox crashes. Is it possible to load a version of FireFox older than 3.6.15 to avoid having to buy a new computer?

Hi again - since writing the above I have posted on Adobe>Webplayer>Flash forum the following request and will post on here if I receive a reply that works:
Firefox updated to 3.6.14 and then advised Flash 10 be installed. I did this and now on YouTube videos all I see is a black screen with no play or pause button. System is OS X10.4.11 Have now followed Adobe instructions to Uninstall Flash player on system and then Install Flash 10. But still at YouTube Safari says Flash 10 is needed and in FF shows a black box only. I use Intego virus barrier but this has never blocked an update before. Flash is enabled in Firefox and Safari.
eldnolb at Adobe forum advised: Go to this site and right click on the Flash logo, Settings, Display Settings. UNcheck the hardware acceleration.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
But when I go to this page no logo appeared for me to right click on, which again means that Flash player is not working... so I could not access Settings, Display Settings, Uncheck etc. Was advised to start a new Mac entitled thread. Clare

I can no longer attach files to email. Just suddenly stopped.

I haven't installed an update or any new files. I was able to attach files yesterday but today, for some reason, they won't attach. I select the paperclip but nothing happens. No error message, nothing behind the open pane. I've rest my IE settings to default (even though I don't use it) but that didn't help. I've off/on the PC and that didn't work either. I've run my antivirus software and it finds nothing wrong.

Could you check your pop-up setting for google.com? Here's how:
While you have the compose window on the screen, click the padlock in the address bar.
* If the pop-up permission is listed there as Block, try changing it to Allow.
* If the pop-up permission is not listed there, click More Information to launch the Page Info dialog, then click Permissions in the top bar. Scroll down to "Open pop-up windows", uncheck the box for "Set default" then click Allow and close the dialog.
Then try the paper clip again. Success?
Unfortunately, that is "Google-wide" and not limited to mail, so... other pop-ups are possible that you've never noticed before.

Why can't I attach files from desktop to hotmail?

I'm trying to attach files to a "hotmail" message and my eMac just spins forever. There must be some security settings preventing this. Can anybody assist me? Thanks.

As I don't use hotmail I don't have experience with this problem. Maybe just move away from the Microsoft windows.live hotmail, to something more Apple friendly.
Do they have a support site where you could see if other's are experiencing this problem?
If you have an ISP, don't you get an email account with that, as part of the service? Often you can have several email addresses with the one ISP. For that you can use Apple's Mail application.
If you are traveling overseas and want web based email, the other alternative is Gmail.
Sorry I can't help solve your problem but it seems uncommon and I am not familiar with hotmail.
One web based email I use is Yahoo and that seems to work OK. Maybe switch to that.

Beginning yesterday I cannot attach a file to an outgoing Hotmail email. Also, I am getting an error apology note from Firefox?

When a prepare to send a Hotmail email and attach a file it will no longer allow me to do so. However it occurs only on this computer, not my laptop, which I do not use Firefox on. This is true for both my Hotmail account and my wife's.
Please help.
