I can't attach files on Gmail for the last week. Help!

I've been trying to attach files in my Gmail account for over a week but every time I try to attach it comes back "failed". This wasn't an issue until about a week ago. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and nothing. I've had to go through IE in order to attach files. Help please!

hello suzanne, firefox has introduced a new protocol named SPDY that should make pages load faster and is used on google pages. i've seen a report by another user who had the same problem uploading attachments to gmail as long as spdy was enabled.
could you please try the following: enter '''about:config''' into the location bar & search for all preferences beginning with '''network.http.''' - in case any of them is shown in bold & therefore not on its default value please right click and reset those preferences. afterwards restart the browser and see if the problem is gone.
when this did not resolve the issue or all entries were already set to their default values, please toggle '''network.http.spdy.enabled''' (again in about:config) to '''false''' by double-clicking it & restart the browser again.
in case the latter resolved the issue, could you please provide information on how you are accessing the internet (provider/ the hardware model of your router) & which security software is running on your system - maybe this information will help firefox developers to fix the underlying issue... thank you very much!

Can't attach file in mail since the last update

Have updated the IOS to 10.8.5, ever since , I'm not able to attach files to mail ....... Any solutions ?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

For the last week or so I have been unable to stream anything using Safari on my Mac. Using Firefox I can; any ideas? ThanksDave

Hi RMH1405,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what kind of streaming you are talking about or what you are seeing when you try to do so in Safari. If the sites in question are Flash-based, you may need to make sure that Flash Player is up to date in Safari, as noted in this article:
Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on December 12, 2014 - Apple Support

What do you mean "Leave them my laptop again"? do you mean you have had it worked on before? for the same problem or a different one?
You need to take it in to Apple ASAP. No matter how long they have it, you want it fixed and fixed correctly.

There is a new update available today for version 37, please do post back if this also happens for this update.
Please update to the most recent version of Firefox:
*[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh. Sometimes it refreshes for no obvious reason. For instance, I'll be in the middle of typing into a forum's post block & it refreshes. Or filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Getting screen junk for the last week or so...

For the last week or so, I've been getting screen junk on my Mac Pro, on both my 30" monitor Apple Cinema Display and my 20" Apple Cinema Display. Not at the same time. Not in the same app all the time. I'll either get a black line going through the active window, or some funky thing going on with the text getting all junky. At first it was happening just in Microsoft Office (junky text) or Firefox (latest build)(black line). Today I saw the black line in Dreamweaver! And junky text in mail, which went away when I closed the item and reopened it.
I am running Intego VirusBarrier on my Mac (let's not go into how foolish anyone thinks I am for using an antivirus program. I also have a smoke detector in my house, even though I've never had a fire). I've been running VirusBarrier for at least a year, and haven't had any problems.
I've tried repairing permissions, and it doesn't help.
Any thoughts?

read this thread sounds like the same issues the rest of us are having

Can't attach files in Gmail since upgrading

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't attach files either in Safari (4.0) or Firefox (3.5.2) in gmail. I've upgraded to the latest version of flash.
Does anyone else have this problem -- and a solution, hopefully?
I'm using gmail's 'Advanced Attachment' features. Turning this off solves the problem, but even the 'advanced' setting worked before Snow Leopard.
Thanks,

Usability and interface issues with Gmail aside, I did figure something out. (I don't really use Gmail, it just seemed like a good at the time when I was setting up an account for a friend so I could help out with issues.)
I couldn't add attachments to a new message either. In fact, when I clicked the link to add an attachment, the link disappeared. I discarded the message, opened a new one, click the add attachment link, and the link disappeared again.
Turning off the blocking of pop-up windows didn't change the outcome.
So I opened a new message and looked around.
I noticed a little icon in the upper right of the message, just above the To: field, a sort of double square with an arrow in it. It looked almost like icon used on Windows to indicate maximizing the window for full screen, except it had an arrow that looked like the "Forward" arrow when you want to forward a message instead of replying. No tool tip came up so I decided to try it.
This made the message disappear, and popped open a new smaller window which eventually loaded the message. Looked about the same as before but without the rest of Gmail. Curiously, the add attachments link actually worked, without disappearing. A dialog popped open (looked like from the OS, not a browser window) and I was able to select a file. It appeared listed below the subject and above the message, with a progress indicator that took several seconds (half a minute?) before any progress happened. It did eventually get started and completed the upload.

Can't attach files in Gmail

I am having a major problem with trying to attach files in Gmail in both Firefox and Safari. Has only started happening today. Has been ok before this. Everytime I click on the atachment link and it brings up the Finder file with files to choose from, it then just crashes and I can't even choose anything or get out of the Finder and Files. Have to click Force Quit. Not sure what is going on. I don't know if this is a Mac problem or I should be in Google support.
Thanks

I have done a Virus Screen and got rid of 3 phising files
You didn't mention what you used to scan for malware, but phishing files are often e-mails which should not be deleted using the Finder or any A-V software as it will almost certainly corrupt the mailbox index and could cause mail issues going forward.
Your problem isn't being caused by malware and as long as you are keeping your Lion OS X fully up-to-date and do not disable it's malware protection, there is no currently known malware that can impact your Mac.
also did a malware screen and got rid of something called 'Genieo' All now in Trash.
Did you use TheSafeMac's Adware Removal Tool to get rid of Genieo? If not, then there are likely additional adware files installed which could easily be causing browser crashes.

Can't attach files in gmail since installing Leopard

Recently installed OX X 10.5 Leopard and ever since, I can't attach files to outgoing Gmail emails.
I've tried in Safari, Camino and Firefox -- no luck.
It does work if I switch to the "older version" of Gmail.
Does anybody know if there's a setting I can change so I can use Gmail normally but be able to add attachments to mail?
Anybody else having this issue?

Your profile indicates you are running a very old version of Leopard which might explain the issue.
Update to 10.5.8 using the combo update (not the auto software update) and see if that fixes your problem.

All of a sudden today I can't attach files in gmail using Mozilla...can in IE & Chrome.

I have cleared cache, cookies, defragged, cleaned computer. I have looked at all the solutions on line and can't figure out why all of a sudden I can't attach files in Mozilla but can using IE & Chrome. Please help. I have not done anything between when I turned the computer off last night and turned it on today.

Mine suddenly broke as well today. I tried everything from resetting firefox, to clearing cache, to starting ff in safe mode. No change. I finally figured out if I turned off popup blocking, it would work. I then figured out I could add mail.google.com to the popup exceptions list and voila, it worked!

How to upload CSV file w/o ,, for the last line

Hi Experts,
As part of one interface uploading the csv file (4coulmns) manually using the TCODE: CSCA_FILE_COPY.
After uploading when i see in the AL11 as it is csv file it is filling the , in each space.
But my issue while running the interface (because of logic in it) checking for the hash total in the last line where (record count, hash total) only 2 items should come but because of manual upload adding the (record count, hash total, , ,) another two spaces.
Where program not moving further becasue the it is alway comparing the amounts (1000.00 not matching with 1000.00, , ) it is not processing. In production files directly load in to unix server so no issues and i can't ask to change the program code...because iam not following the process. As part of testing i've to do manually only.
Please suggest the workaround for this.
Is it possible to change the contents directly in AL11 directly....then HOW ?
or
How to create a csv file w/o , , in the last line (may be it is not possible) ?
Thanks for your replies in advance.
Regards
VVR

I don't think you can edit from AL11, nor creating a CSV without those commas at the end because are created to state fields with empty value.
You have 6 columns filled with values but for the last line you only fill the first four. It is expected to appear , , for the last 2 columns on the last line.
I can only suggest keep doing it manually before uploading the CSV file... or... you are saying you can't change the program.
How about upload all CSV files... then writing another program to get those files from AL11 and delete the spare commas at the end line?
Cheers,
Andres.

HT5622 my friend believes her phone has been hacked as her ex partner has read all her messages from people for the last week how is this possible?

my friend has an iphone 4 and believes her messages on her phone have been hacked as and ex boyfriend has contacted her telling her who she has spoken to and read the message she has for the past week, is this possible and how can she stop this?
Thanks

You're welcome.
Ask her if they shared an Apple ID to download iTunes Store content such as apps and music?
If not, he knows the password for her Apple ID email address.
She can create a new Apple ID with this link.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleIdForIK B?localang=en_US&path=
She needs to create a new email address first as well.
Tell her not to use any security questions that her ex knows or may know.
After she has created a new Apple ID, on her iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID.
Select the Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out.
She signs back in at the same location with her new Apple ID to register her iPhone phone number with her new Apple ID and this will prevent her ex from having access to all iMessages that she sends and receives.

On OSX 10.9.2 can't attach files to gmail.

I am running OSX 10.9.2. Trying to attach any local file to a gmail message causes Firefox to hang. It gets to the upload screen and then comes the spinning beach ball. Must start Finder and kill Firefox. I have 'Reset' Firefox. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Can attach files OK to gmail with Safari. Problem occurred very suddenly. No obvious updates occurred. Thank you for any help on this problem. Its bad.

Two things you can do for me.
1) Can you start by giving us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems<br>
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
2) Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

I can't attach files in gmail using firefox, can you help?

Hello,
I'm not sure if my previous question went through, so I apologize if this is a duplicate. Starting today I'm unable to attach a file to email when using firefox (31.0), function works when using Safari. When I click on the "attach file" button, my search browser does not open. Nothing happens.
I've read through previous posts of similar problems, have restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, and cleared my history and cache. Unfortunately none of these attempts have been successful.
Thank you for your time,
Shea

If you can't add attachments to Gmail messages then you need to add an allow exception to allow pop-ups for the Google website.
Easiest to do this is to click the padlock on the location bar and click the "More Information" button to open the "Tools > Page Info" window with the Security tab selected.
Proceed to the Permissions tab
Remove the tick on "Open Pop-up Windows" > "Use Default" and click the Allow radio button to change the permission to allow pop-ups for this domain.
Google is looking into this issue, see:
