In Mail 3.6 remote images in HTML messages display as blue squares with ? even though checked in viewing references.

In Mail 3.6 remote images in HTML messages display as blue squares with ? even though checked in viewing references.

Nurit,
The point is that that button should not be there, if the preference setting is as you say. This indicates the preference setting is stuck, and that is what I was trying to help you resolve.
The full purge is done as follows:
Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder. Control-click over the Mail folder, and choose Duplicate -- then drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Next, open Home/Library/Preferences and find the com.apple.mail.plist file and drag it to the desktop.
Relaunch Mail, which will open as though new, and when prompted to import anything DECLINE. Instead, re-enter your account info, and Mail will re-discover the account folders for your accounts, and all should be well, after setting preferences as you desire.
Ask any needed questions, and keep us posted.

  • Cannot display remote images in HTML messages

    Hi all.
    This has been a problem since Tiger for me and ironically, is affecting me on two macs (although I sync the two together, so whatever the problem is, I'm guessing it's been copied to both locations). Here's the deal:
    I cannot display images in my messages. If I click the checkbox (under viewing in mail prefs) "display remote images in HTML messages" I get the same behavior as if it is unchecked. I've tried checking and unchecking to no avail. My guess is a corrupted preference file, but I don't know which one. If I delete my mail prefs, will I need to do anything with regards to my mailboxes etc? I have over 3GB of offline mail, all filed away into hundreds of folders and do NOT want to mess with that.
    Any suggestions are most appreciated. I'd love to see my images again without clicking on the "load images" button for EVERY email.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I can't believe there's no answer for this at Apple Support! (I looked.) On my MacBook with Leopard (10.5.6 and Mail 3.5) the problem is fairly recent - I only noticed it a few days ago. Unchecking and rechecking the Display remote images in HTML messages does not work, and neither does restarting the computer (I rarely do, preferring to put it to sleep.) Before I removed the plist I thought I'd check here first, having the same reasons for reluctance as xrob - and a good thing I did, too. I'd hate to have the same (bad) experience as someone who already tried it. The only thing I can think that I changed recently was to add SSL support to (all) my accounts. Could that be the culprit? I guess not. I removed "use SSL" on one of the accounts but it changed nothing, except for the port number. I closed and re-opened Mail but did not restart the computer. And, where do you find the "load images" button?

  • After updating to OS X 10.8.3, remote images fail to be displayed in Mail

    After updating to OS X 10.8.3, images fail to be displayed in Mail regardless of setting in "Display remote images in HTML messages".
    Any clue ?

    I'm also having this problem.  Help?

  • Load remote images in html mail setting does not get saved. I have to turn it off every time I log in. Is this a bug?

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

  • Facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome.

    Since July on MacBook Pro facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome. Everything is up to date including last version of Adobe Flash. And watching YouTube also a problem. Video is skipping, freezing for few seconds and jumps forward. At the same time on Toshiba with Windows Vista under the same account, same wi-fi connection everything works fine.
    Please help with sugesstions to fix the issue.

    Seems like problem is solved but it might be temporarily. Anyway. Click on the image, it will open facebook photo browser. Image is not loading so right click on the blue box with question mark, save image as. It will start downloading but without any success since browser do not see the image. After this attempt refresh the page and close all tabs with facebook. Try to open facebook once again. For some reason after this weird actions all images displayed properly. Do not know for how long but now it works.

  • IOS 5: Manually load REMOTE images in HTML emails ...?

    I've been clamoring for this feature forever, and Apple finally added it in 3.0.... the ability to NOT download remotely hosted HTML images in emails [mainly to prevent additional spam]..... unfortunately, if you turn off the loading of remote images in your settings, you're unable to load them in manually on a per-email basis.
    SO CLOSE!
    Does anyone know if this is possible now on iOS 5? Would love it to work like their desktop mail app

    Yes that's how you turn it off.  Now that you have it off, and an image arrives whose images you want to view, you can't do it.  You can turn the setting back on, but then all the other emails whose images you don't want to open, will open, leaving you vulnerable.  There should be a button in the mail viewer to load images when viewing an e-mail if this setting is off, just like Mail in OSX.  I think it's an oversight.

  • Mail: Stop showing remote images ONLY in junk mail?

    You can set Mail's prefs to not display remote images, but is there a way to set it to not show them in junk mail but show them in other mail? I haven't been able to find it. I'm running Mail 3.6.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    No, there is not. It wouldn't be reliable or useful. If Mail filters it as junk, presumably you won't be opening it, and thus loading the images, anyway. On the other hand, if it fails to recognize one message as spam and you open it, you'll load the images and become a "marked man." (ie, your address will be tagged as one where the spam is opened)

  • Why can't I drag an image or html file into a browser window with Firefox 17

    to get a quick view of various images or html files, I like simply dragging the files from my local drive into a Firefox browser window.
    since upgrading to FF 17, I can no longer do that. a NO symbol comes up when attempting this. and Dreamweaver will no longer preview with Firefox, even though it's my designated, preferred browser.
    anybody know if both of these are some setting or something?

    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 or otherwise make changes.

  • Mail attachments not showing as icons but as blue square with ? in

    This is probably going to sound very odd but recently all attachments that I send or forward come up with the attachment showing as a blue block with question marks on the site - something like a piece of lego.
    Anyone got any ideas what the problem is and how to resolve it?
    Thanks
    Mail version 2.1.2 (753)
    OS 10.4.11

    As a follow-up, Apple did help.
    Called Tech Support and spoke at length with Mujahid. He went through the system carefully and confirmed (by creating another 'user account') that the problem was 'system wide'. He then requested that I trash the current Mail application and re-install Mail from the disks that were provided with the iMac. I then restarted the iMac, opened Mail (now v2.1.1), created a test email and attached a jpeg...............
    Eureka! Problem solved. No more blue lego cubes with question marks.
    It doesn't explain how the problem arose in the first place and I don't know if it will recur if I upgrade to Mail v2.1.2 I did use the 'migration assistant' when moving files over from the old laptop with 10.3.9 and it may have been that something nasty crossed over. Anyway, its fixed now.
    All hail Mujahid.

  • Why do I have a blue square with a white question mark showing in place of images on some websites?

    I have a Macbook Air with the most updated version of Yosemite. Im finding that on some websites, in place of images, I just get a blank space with a blue square in the middle and a question mark. Ive tried Chrome and Firefox too and the images still don't load. Can anyone suggest why this may be and offer any solution.
    Thanks

    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.

  • Developer Module only shows blue square with a white cross, images are displayed in the library ok but not im developer Module

    Ive just updated to LR 6 from LR 5.
    The app seemed to launch ok but as I was looking around none of my photos will open in the developer module, they just have a blue box with white cross??

    It seems to be something to do with Lightroom 6 accessing the GPU. I had this problem and under the "Performance" tab in "Preferences" (Edit menu), there's a box that says "Use graphics processor". I unticked this box and now the images are displayed in the developer module. I'll need to investigate further to find out why Lightroom is not working with my GPU but at least I can use it now.

  • Some of the images are not showing up on my Blogger blog even though the HTML is there. They do show up in Opera.

    Here is the link to the blog post -
    http://happyholidays-blog.blogspot.com/2010/09/welcome-to-trick-or-treat-street.html
    Three days ago I went to a post from last year and an image was gone. The code was there but not the image.
    It doesn't get rid of all the images just certain ones and they are consistently gone. It is not a random deletion of images.
    I have had images not show up on other blogger sites.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions<br />
    See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Mail-marking all messages that I read as replied, even though I have not replied.

    Everytime I read a message, it shows the replied icon on that message. When I click on the replied icon, it says that it cannot find my reply, and that I must have deleted it. I haven't replied at all, so I want those icons to go away. Has anyone had this problem or does anyone have a solution?

    you're the first case of this I've heard about. Please don't get upset because i am only asking these question to deduce any issues.
    Having said that:
    what computer model are you on,
    what email client are you using with mail? (MSN, gmail, icloud, what?)
    if you create a new user account in system preferenes, users and groups and try mail through there, does it still happen?
    ultimately I think you should send feedback to Apple about your particular situation. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Because this is the first time I'm reading about this.
    you may need to reinastall lion throught the recovery partition.
