Image size pop up menu missing in mail window

Tonight I was about to resize an attachment (a photo) in the Mail message window, but discovered that the image size pop up menu that used to appear at the bottom of the mail window is no longer there! I tried quitting Mail and launching it again, restarted the computer (a 2003 iMac G4 running Tiger), and repaired permissions. Any ideas on how I might get the image size pop up menu back again? Thanks.

Seems there must be something messed up on the HD.
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
The important part is to Repair the Disk before Repairing Permissions.

Image Size pop up menu missing in Mac Mail

Hi all,
I've just noticed a very frustrating problem with my mac mail which seems to have started recently, for no apparent reason. I have made no updates to my mac mail at all.
Basically when I attach and image to a new email, there used to be a pop up menu appear in the bottom right of the window where you can select the size of the image - small, medium, large or actual size.
This has randomly disappeared!
I cannot find any settings in the preferences for it to reappear. I have made no changes that would have caused this - at least not knowingly.
Any ideas as to how I can get the image size pop up menu to reappear when I am attaching images to a new email?

Well, it seems I have solved the problem. After searching all afternoon for a solution i thought i'd try the last thing on the list - quit mac mail and re open.
It worked!
The Image Size pop up menu now appears again when images are attached to the email.
Despite this, id still like to know what I did to remove it.
Any idea?

Image size pop-up menu no longer an option

"Reduce the size of the attached images by choosing Small, Medium, or Large from the Image Size pop-up menu at the bottom of the message window. The menu appears when you drag or attach a picture to the message."
I used to have this option. I just noticed it isn't there anymore. Tried deleting the mail preference file, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
clint

Nevermind, I just figured it out. My screen capturing widget saves files as .jpeg instead of .jpg. And Mail didn't like that.

"Streaming Buffer Size" pop-up menu does not exist under Advanced when I use iTunes - Preferences - Advanced. How can I increase buffer size?

How can I change buffer size in iTunes 10? "Streaming Buffer Size" pop-up menu does not exist under Preferences--Advanced.

Hi all, iTunes streaming victims.
I struggled long with the streaming buffer problem of iTunes and indeed could solve it with increasing the buffer size, which features has been removed in iTunes 10. And this without updating the instructions by Apple!
Here is my solutions:

perfect for all wireless audio streaming not only for itunes, but any source on the Mac.
solved the problem completely for my 3 MacBooks, 2 airports, iphones etc.
it is not for free but a very good value for money.

Image Size Pop-up Missing

The pop-up menu for changing the size of attachments at the bottom right hand corner of a new message is missing.
How do I get that pop-up menu back?

I am not sure of what you are inquiring about. Are you trying to include a photo from your library or some other type of attachment, like a .pdf or .doc?
If you are trying to include an attachment, then I do not believe you can change that within Mail.
You would have to reformat that kind of attachment outside of Mail to make a correction to its file size.
But if it is a photo from the media folder, those you can change and the drop down option menu should show up at the bottom of the outgoing mail window once you drag that image to the outgoing mail box.
I hope that helps.

Bottom "Image Size" selection is now missing...

Apple Mail, Leopard 10.5.4
Apple Mail used to have a selection box at the bottom of an email that has an image attached to it that said "Image Size:" with a pull-down next to it to change the image size.
After a restart last night, it is no longer there. I can still select the image and right-click to change the size, but was wondering why this is now missing in new email message windows.
I have looked at all of the settings, but for the life of me cannot find it.
Any help in getting this back would be much appreciated.
Thank you!!

how are you able to change the size by right-clicking on an image? I don't see that option. I do have that button at the bottom of the message composition window on both 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 machines BUT if I move the image inside the message to a new location this button disappears and there is no way to get it back. this looks like a bug to me. you can try upgrading to 10.5.5 and see if the button comes back. also, create a new account, set up Mail there and see if the button shows up.

Image size "pop-up" in email misfunctions

I listed this question initially under the "imac" section but got no response. I have been importing photos into my emails from the desktop using the right click "share>email" option. Up until a few days ago this worked very well. Now I find the Small, Medium and Large options in the pop-up menu just give me a 10KB thumbnail. "Acutal size" will give me the full 5MB file size. I have inadvertently changed something but having ferreted around I can not find a way to change it back. I use this system all the time and I really need to fix it, so would appreciate any help. Cheers, jp

My apologies. I have discovered that the issue is not Apple related but caused by a new RAW converter I'm trying. Cheers, jp

Unable to create image-based pop-up menu

Working in FW MX (yes, I know I'm behind the times!).
Created a pop-up menu; want to experiment with image-based
options, rather than html. When I choose IMAGE on the Appearance
tab of the pop-up editor, no styles are available in the style
choosers for up/over states. (And there ARE styles in the
assets--including some that I've just created.) Furthermore, when I
click through the NEXT buttons to DONE, then return to edit this
pop-up menu, it's defaulted back to html. Image just won't stick.
The documentation says this should be simple and
straightforward, but it ain't. I've spent several hours struggling
with this.

Okay, on the suggestion of one tech support person, I logged
in as a different Windows user. Whaddaya know, the style options
were there! However, when the file is exported, all I get is the
html version, no image/style-based popup. Same when I preview it in
browser (IE7, FireFox). But the preview in the pop-up editor does
show the styles applied--they just don't make it to publication for
some reason.

Pop-up blocker: why is the "show the blocked pop-up" menu missing in the options?

There used to be the "show the blocked pop-up" menu item, whenever a pop-up is blocked by the pop-up blocker, I cannot see that menu these days.
Even in the pop-up blocker help entry, the menu item is in parentheses. Does it mean that sometimes the item would show up and sometimes don't?
What happened to this feature? I really loved this one, and it was one of the main reasons I started to use Firefox instead of IE.
Is there any way to enable this in about:config or something?

Thanks for your reply to this question. I believe that "show the blocked pop-up" ''was'' an option in FireFox's built-in popup blocker. As the OP mentioned, it is listed parenthetically on the [[Pop-Up Blocker Help Page|Pop-Up Blocker Help Page]]. Also, I don't run much in the way of add-ons and extensions, and no extensions were disabled when I updated this morning, but nonetheless the option seems to have disappeared. Since this problem doesn't have many "me toos," maybe it only happens under specific circumstances?

No image size pop-up window in Mail 2.1

I'm accustomed to seeing a pop-up window at the bottom of my mail, giving me the option of resizing a photo, and telling me how large my message is. Today it's not there. This is probably something easy that I've unclicked, but I can't find it. Oh, it's Mail 2.1, on an eMac running 10.4.8.

I had this problem and it was related to a Mail plugin (Daylite DMA).

ICloud alias pop-up menu in Apple Mail – how to limit choices?

Now that Apple has added @icloud to the options for .mac/.me e-mail addresses, my menu of aliases has become too cluttered. See pic below for what I have to scroll through to pick everytime I create a new message.
There's got to be some way to remove all the @icloud aliases from the menu, isn't there?
Help?

U-verse may use Yahoo servers -- meaning that Yahoo owns and manages them for AT&T, or vice versa -- but at least in my case, not the same physical servers. My U-verse servers are inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net.
I've had my bellsouth.net account for years and it did use a something.yahoo.something, and I accessed it via my Charter Cable provider. But when I swiched to U-verse last month, it didn't work and I had to change my server settings to att.net using POP3.
My specific Yahoo account was one I accessed only rarely, and I used the web; I never bothered to set it up in Apple Mail. Indications at Yahoo.com mail help pages are that you do indeed need the paid-for POP access. They refer to it as POP forwarding, but there seems to be no way to get past it and tell them that I don't want to "forward" -- I just want to access.

Logic Pro X: Missing plug-in window size preference

Hi all,
I'm slow to update my gear, I know... Anyway, just upgraded from LP 9 to LP X. Among the pecularities I noticed, the preference for setting default plug-in window size (formerly in Preferences > Display > Mixer) now seems to have disappeared.
Funnily, it is still advertised at some point in the User Guide. Page 100 of the PDF version says:
[quote]
Set the size at which all plug-in windows open
Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Display, then click the Mixer tab.
In the Plug-in Window section, choose the size from the Default Size pop-up menu.
[/quote]
However, no such pop-up menu appears on that tab in LP X itself (nor in the copy of that tab that appears in the Preferences detailed section later on in the manual...).
Does anyone have any idea how to set this, so as not to waste useless time changing the "view" setting in each and every individual plug-in window?
Thanks in advance for the tips!
Best regards,
Arnaud

Hi all,
A little "up" of this one.
Has anyone any idea on this?
Or doesn't anyone use this plug-in windows default size preference any more in LP X vs LP 9 (I suppose I shouldn't be the only one missing this feature...)?
Best regards,
Arnaud

Menu bar pop-up menu help

i have created a menu bar, with an image. when you place the mouse over the image a pop-up menu apperas with 4 options (about us, contact, services, projects) is there a way i can have a text box open that contains the proper information for each one open when you click on it and then close when you click on a different one. also after a given amout of time have the box disapper like a pop up menu.
i have cs5, i dont know much about webdesign so if you could plesae give detailed suggestions. thanks

Tht's what's known in the trade as mystery meat navigation. If the viewer doesn't mouse over the image, they will never find the navigation. To be practical and usable by most people, top level navigation elements need be visible at all times. You will not be able to do what you want with pop-up memus in Fireworks anyway. Use Fireworks for creating the images. Use Dreamweaver for writing the code.

Pop up menu

I have a class that extends JPasswordField.
no i need a thing like a pop up menu like in the windows when you have caps lock on i come up to tell you this way my users know that caps is active. i have done all of the back door stuff and at the moment it just prints out using System.out.println that caps is active. not the pop up so only last a short time but should not pause the program and should be independet of app just the password field i need the help to create the little pop up menu and to after let say 500ms close it.

* it can tell the user that the caps lock is on when they enter the field
* it also tells them if the caps is pressed while they are in the field.
* and also if it was pushed in another application and then they go back to
* the field.
