I can't attach files to my e-mails instead of embedding them in the body of the e-mail. Any ideas?

Mail sends certain kinds of graphical attachments as inline content. The decision to do that was made for you by Apple. There's no built-in way to override it, as far as I know.
The recipient's mail client may or may not take Mail's suggestion to display the content inline.
You have these options:
Zip the files before attaching them to the message.
Use something like Attachment Tamer. (That's not an endorsement — it may cause problems.)
Use another mail client that allows for more control over the format of outgoing messages.

  • Can't Attach Files in 10.9 Mail via Menubar/Toolbar

    All of a sudden I cannot attach files in Mail via menu commands.  A selection (finder) window opens but all items are grayed out (no matter what location).  I can still attach files by dragging them from the Desktop (or other location) into the body of the email.
    Isolation:
    -Issue persists in Safari when logging into webmail.
    --Choosing to "attach" a file to an email (new composure or reply) from the webmail attach links brings up a Finder window with all content grayed out.
    -Created test admin user.
    --logged in as new user.
    --set up Mail w/ an email account.
    --attempted file attachment from menubar/toolbar icons.
    --works.
    ***issue is user specific.
    Resolution:
    -Access primary user ~/Library/Preferences/.
    --locate files named "com.apple.finder" .plist (may have multiple files w/ additional characters).
    --select all and move to Trash.
    --Restart.
    -log in and test.

    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.

  • Can not attach files in an e-mail

    If I use internet explorer 7 I can attach e-mail. But using Firefox 3.6.23 I can not.

    Try to clear cache and cookies by doing the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • I synced pictures from my sons computer onto my iphone4 now I can not get them off my phone to save on my computer or delete them off the phone. Any ideas?

    I have been looking everywhere to try and figure this out!

    Do you sync your iPhone to your own computer? I ask because an i-device can be fully synced to only one computer. Therefore, if you normally sync your iPhone to your own computer, syncing to your son's computer just to get some pictures onto your phone probably bollixed things a bit. (And was unnecessary to do just to get pictures onto the phone.)
    Regardless, you should be able to delete individual or small groups of pictures from your iPhone from within the Photos app. Select your Camera Roll, tap the "share" icon in the upper-right corner, select the pictures you want to delete, then tap the DELETE button in the buttom-right.
    Getting those pictures from your iPhone to your own computer should work using the same process you've used in the past to get pictures from your iPhone to your computer. The only caveat is that your iPhone might have been paired with your son's computer when you synced it there, so you might need to re-pair it to your own computer first. You should be asked if you want to do this when you connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable.
    You can also easily share pictures from your iPhone to any device (desktop computer or otherwise) with a standard web browser using this app or one like it:

  • In Firefox, can't attach files to Yahoo Mail outgoing messages. Yahoo Mail works fine in Internet Explorer though.

    Since yesterday, when I switched from Comcast to AT&T as my broadband internet connection, I have not been able to attach files to my Yahoo mail messages using Mozilla Firefox. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer, but my default browser is Firefox by choice. Is this a Yahoo issue or a Firefox issue? Can you help me resolve it?

    Not helpful. 'clearing Firefox's cache' is not helpful, since 'cache' doesn't show up in any of the Firefox pulldown menu choices (wasted time looking for that), and the plethora of things 'recent' and 'history' to choose to act on in these menus is also a possible waste of time, not to mention removing useful info for no reason.
    I, too, have had this problem 'intermittently' for many months, always involving the 'first' file to attach in a Yahoo! email, and I've always used this workaround OK: click on the filename showing as 'being attached' (while Yahoo's doohickey round spinner denoting 'in progress' whirls and whirls to no effect) and use "Remove File"; THEN, REPEAT 'attach file' task & it then works, if slowly. After that for the same email, attaching add'l files NEVER HAS A PROBLEM.
    SO, now today, without any software update yet (I've downloaded Firefox v.11 & will install shortly), at numerous attempts during the day, I CANNOT get the FIRST file to attach in a Yahoo! email. Simply, utterly, frustrating without any rhyme or reason. "Everything else, on plethora of sites, working fine."
    thanks.

  • 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!

  • 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 hotmail using FF 4.0.1

    I have FF 4.0.1. and can't attach files in hotmail. I CAN attach files when using hotmail with IE. I have tried clearing the cache, cookies, sites etc. and it still won't let me attach files. What's up. It worked before the last upgrade.

    please also try setting network.http.spdy.enabled.v2 to false.

  • Can't attach files in any email AOL, yahoo, or company. Also only shows blank page when accessing yahoo email.

    In any web mail program AOL, Yahoo, my companies you can not attach files when composing an email. By the attach button/icon it says "no file selected" (or when you hover over it). This happens in safe mode also. Also browser speed is very slow. After logging in to my yahoo mail I get a blank page. In the title bar it says I have x amount of emails.
    I reinstalled Firefox and for about 60 seconds it was fast and yahoo opened fine and I was able to attach emails in yahoo and my company account. After that it reverted back to being slow and not attaching and opening yahoo to a blank page.
    I have run spybot and malware and removed all found threats. I believe something is infecting Firefox. IE and Chrome do not have this problem. Any help would be appreciated as I am at a loss.

    antivirus was not a problem since there was not one installed. Firewall settings are fine. I did just finally resolve this issue. Spyhunter was able to detect a couple of hijackers that the other programs did not and this fixed the problem. As I stated in the original post I did suspect this was the issue. The lesson learned is to run multiple malware programs until you find one that eliminates the problem if you suspect malware as the problem.

  • My blackberry 8520 device can't attach file *.doc

    Dear all,, My device can't attach file *.doc when I want to send an email using attachment file My device is Blackberry 8520 Gemini Need help and suggest here Thanks

    OK thanks, that clarifies many of the points. You have successfully registered HRT as well as received all new Service Books, so from that perspective, things should be good to go. A few more thoughts then.

    By this, do you mean that you cannot navigate out of the picture folder it initially shows you? If you don't create a new email, can you use the on-device file manager (Homescreen > Media > > Explore) and navigate to any folder you like? If you can navigate via this, can you further select and send your .doc in this manner?
    Are you a 100% personal BB or is this a corporate (BES) BB? If BES, then stop now and go see your BES admins as they have full control.
    If this is a personal BB, how did you acquire it? Was it purchased directly from your carrier or was it somehow second hand? If it was second hand, you may have a latent IT policy on board from the prior owner...which would need to be removed via this procedure:

    Further, you are one version behind on the OS from your carrier...the most recent they now have is 5.0.0.681. I cannot tell you if your specific issue is addressed in that update or not...but a clean reload of your OS, with this new version, might be helpful.
