I use Mail for my email messages. How do I attach a file as an icon rather than showing the full text in the message box?

Glad you got it working! Incidentally, if you have a relatively new Apple mouse (Magic Mouse or Mighty Mouse should work), you should be able to enable right-click, if you'd like it, by going to System Preferences - Mouse - and turning on "Secondary click". Third-party mice, like Logitech or Microsoft, should have right-click automatically.

  • How do I save a file with SAVE AS rather than SAVE A VERSION?

    I have entered data on a template file and wish to SAVE AS a named file. Pages gives me only one option "Save a Version" which saves the template file overwritten. What has happened to "SAVE AS"

    Just discovered this "feature" myself and I'll also be filling in a feedback form to point out what an appalling idea this was.  When I read that "Save As..." has been totally removed, can't even be activated as an option, I shook my head.
    "Save As..." has been used in every program I can think of, cross-platform, for decades. It's as fundamental to the user experience as "Open File", "Close Window" or even "Save". It's like Apple deciding on a whim that a little cross is too boring for closing windows, let's make it a swirl instead - except users don't understand what it means.
    My main problem (and maybe someone here can help me with a workaround) is that I often open an old file and tinker with it, then decide I'm making more changes than I thought etc. and it might be better to keep the original and "Save As..." to create a new document. From what I can see, if I hit "Duplicate" I'll end up with 2 files that have my recent changes.  I'll then have to rename the new "Duplicate" file and go back and "Undo" all my recent changes in the original until I'm back to the start (or use "Revert").  Fail to see a way around this and it's such a fundamental problem that will literally hamper my use of Pages on a daily basis, that I'm seriously considering buying Word (what a horrible prospect!).

  • How to import MP3 with file name into library, rather than tag?

    I've been given a CD with about 200 MP3s of lectures. They are to be listened to in order, and the file names reflect the order number, like "lecture 1", "lecture 2", etc. However, when I drag them all into iTunes, the names in the iTunes library don't include the file names - they are simply "lecture", which I guess must come from a tag in the MP3 file. So iTunes is ignoring the file name and thus I end up with 200 entries in my iTunes library that can't be ordered properly. How can I get it to use the file name when importing?

    If you have your iTunes preferences set to keep your iTunes Music folder organized, it's possible that even the file names have changed according to the files' tags. In that case, you'll need to (at least temporarily) disable this option and import the files from your CD again.
    Once you're sure the files have been successfully added to your iTunes library and the file names kept intact, you can use the Filenames to Song Names script from Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes.
    This should get everything sorted out.

  • In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

    In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

    I attached a .doc file to the message and it appeared as an icon, so I did not have to convert it. I attached a .jpg image — it appeared as a full image, but when I Command+clicked the image, the view as icon window did not appear on the screen. Likewise, I again checked the Mail Menu Bar, and did see 'View as icon.' Side note: I routinely use Mavericks Mail in Classic Mode, so I decided to try both modes. Same results in both modes. I checked my Mail Preferences, but couldn't find anything there, either. I'll continue to look around, but this has me stumped. Thanks for your assistance.

  • How do I attach a file to a Mail doc without the file being opened in the Mail document?

    How do I attach a file to a Mail doc without the file being opened in the Mail document?

    You will (often) see a preview of the attachment, depending upon the file type.  To get rid of the preview: control click on the attachment select "View as icon".
    (What the recipient of your message sees is dictated by that person's email application.  If you want to make sure the person gets an attachement which is not previewed, you can zip it (control-click, "Compress...") and then attach the zipped file(s).  Or you can try something like Attachment Tamer.)

  • How do I attach photo files to email message in iPhoto '11?

    Apple says, "If you want recipients to be able to use the photos you send, rather than simply view them, you can attach the photo files to your email message. (BUT HOW?) Recipients can then download the photos from the email message and print them, use them in their own projects, and so on."
    How do I attach these files when sending an email of photos using iPhoto? (I don't want to use AppleMail, I know how to do it in AppleMail) When I click to Share my photos via email in iPhoto, I do not see any option rbutton to add files to make the photos easily downloadable for the recipient.  Anyone know how to do this?  Thanks!

    Not sure why you can't deselect the option, but I would guess that yes, the files are being attached.
    Who are you sending to? iPhoto sends HTML emails and not every application on Windows or Mac knows how to deal with them, for instance, nor every user.

  • How do i attach a file to an email as an attachment and not embeded in the message?

    how do i attach a file to an email as an attachment and not embeded in the message?

    This question has been asked and answered several times already.
    Any file attached to an e-mail message is an attachment. There is no other possibility -- the mail protocol does not allow it.
    However, different e-mail clients may have different ways of displaying or viewing attachments, depending on their settings and the type of file attached.

  • Why are my mail attachments embedding in the mail doc. rather than showing up as an attachment

    after upgrading to Lion 10.7.2. It seems my mail document attachments are embedding in the email, rather than showing up as an attachment. How do I resolve this?

    There's been a lot of discussion on this.  Some indicate that setting your email format to plain text will result in the photos being just attachments.  When I've tested it by sending to myself that's not been the case. 
    There's a 3rd party plugin for Mail that is supposed to do what you want.  I've not tested it so can't comment one way or another:
    One way to assure the image files travel as attachments is to put them in a folder first and add the folder to the email body. That zips/compresses the folder and sends it that way.

  • "Attach to Email" option launches outlook rather than default mail client

  • How to check what is the full name of the installer is used?

    Hi,
    how to check what is the full name of the installer is used?
    Thanks,

    Very nice, but assuming you did deliberately fire the installer, don't you remember the command? Apart from that your question has (as usual) no version and no platform and no context. If you are still in the installer and using any variant of Unix you can very easily run 'ps' to see the exact command.
    You would have needed to provide platform and version information when submitting the SR. Can you explain why you have this forum guess at it?
