Invalid File Specified - Yahoo email attachments

I have a yahoo mail account and have started receiving the error message "Invalid File Specified" when trying to attach photo to email.  Simultaneously, I have noticed a change in message management.  Used to be able to "select all" when deleting - now must delete one at a time.  Did I do something?  Are these related?

I had the same problem with sending attachments through my Yahoo account using Safari. I switched to Firefox and it worked fine....So it's still a mystery but at least there is a plan B....:)

    Hi, I recently upgraded to OX X Mountain Lion, and now I cannot upload any of my pictures from iphoto or even my desktop to email, etc.  After I choose my file and hit "attach file" to upload, it says: "Invalid File Specified".  I am using jpg, so I'm confused. Any suggestions?

    Not having a media card in your BlackBerry may affect your ability to transfer media files onto it. There is a file size limit of 2.86MB when transferring files into device memory. http://bbry.lv/9XNuy0
    Have you verified that the applications you are trying to install are supported by your current wireless provider? Unlocked devices from one provider may not have full functionality on another network.

  • Some users are experiencing difficulty opening certain docx files sent as email attachments. These files contain content controls to protect data in the document. Could someone please confirm that the content controls are the reason the files won't open.

  • Why can't I attach files using Yahoo email? I've clicked on 'Attach files more easily' and nothing happens. With all other browsers, I have no issues attaching files.

    I want to attach Word files to some of my yahoo emails. Instead of the word 'attach' like on all other browsers, Fierfox wants me to click on 'Attach files more easily' and download this. Nothing happens leaving me unable to use Firefox if I wish to use my yahoo email and send attachments, files or pics.

    The only way I can open a PDF is to launch the Reader X software and click "open files" from there.  Obviously, this doesn't help me since I need to email PDFs to clients, and printing 'n faxing isn't an option.
    You don't need Adobe Reader to email PDFs to clients.

  • Very slow attaching files to Yahoo Emails and Browser Plus will not set up.

    Very slow uploading attachments to my Yahoo Emails. I tried their "Attach files more easily", but "Browser Plus" hangs at "Almost done...(You don't need to do anything) " screen. I have Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.6 and only use Yahoo for emails. Yahoo are no help, could it be browser settings?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About a week ago.

    Walter2323,  Sorry to learn that you are having this issue and welcome to the HP forums,
    Have try using this tool to install the printer GO HERE  give it a try please let me know if you encounter any errors.
    Another Step that I will take is to disable all securtiy applications before installing the printer this will ensure that one of this application is not blocking a critical process needed to properly install the printer.
    Are able to print from the computer via usb and/or wireless?
    Hope this helps and let me know if I can assist you any further;

  • Viewing Multi Page tiff  files received as email attachments on the iPhone

    I have spent hours trying to find a solution or a work-around to the problem of viewing multi page tiff ( .tif) email attachments on my iPhone 3G running 3.0. I have only ever been able to view the first page of these files.
    Finally I decided to come up with my own solution. I have recently launched the website www.econvertimage.com. Anyone can now freely email tiff files to the site from their phone. These files are converted to pdf and then returned to the sender for viewing on their phone.
    You can set up an auto forward for attachments coming from specific senders if you like. This way you will often receive the converted file at the same time as the original email. Visit the site for further details.
    I hope this post may save others the frustration I've endured over the last few weeks looking for a solution.
    I'm interested in future improvements people are keen to see for the site. I'll keep developing the functionality if there's a need. I look forward to receiving comments and feedback.
    Thanks

    Sounds perfect - is it operational? Sent a test message this morning, never received the PDF.

  • What program should i use to open pdf files, documents for email attachments. Adobe is not working

    I can not open any email attachments-large or small. I had adobe and switched to internet explorer.  I do not have any other choices on my computer to pick from other than word pad and it opened the attachment but was not readable. 

    Please download and install the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the following weblink that will help you to open and read all the PDF files:

  • Attaching pdf files to yahoo emails

    After scanning a doc into pdf format-- free adobe reader 9.0, I am unable to attach the doc to a yahoo OR gmail email. I thought Yahoo was the problem as when attempt to attach, screen just keeps telling me to "wait, attaching," but never does. I then attempted to attach same doc to gmail and I get the same results-- never attaches. I never used to have this problem but not sure if it has been since upgraded to 9.0 as don't remember when I DID upgrade!! Thanks.

    Reader has nothing to do with this, since Reader does not create any
    files. You have some software that scans your pages to pdf. Before you
    try to upload the file as an email attachment you should make sure your
    scanning software closed the file. Then you should be able to attach it
    to an email. If you cannot then the problem lies with your system, not
    Reader, not gmail, nor yahoo.

  • Can't attach files in yahoo email with Lion

    After installing Lion, I'm unable to attach files from my Yahoo email account.!x?
    Also, I am unable to print from my Epson NX 400 printer as Epson has provided an update for Mac OS X v10.7+
    Anyone have recommendations to correct issues, other than deleting Lion and reistalling Snow Leopard?

    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.

  • Cannot attach files to Yahoo email account since new Safari installed

    Hello. I don’t know why, but since I installed the new Safari update, I’ve been having trouble attaching files to my Yahoo email account. The entire Safari just sort of freezes. I can’t even click on anything.
    Another minor but irritating problem since the installment: sometime video clips cannot be played (like on Youtube). I would have to quit and reopen to get to usual condition.
    Anyone know how to solve these problems? Thanks!

    HI,
    The problem is BrowserPlus. It's not compatible with Safari 5.
    Instructions for uninstalling BrowserPlus here. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/browserplus/uninstall.html
    If you don't want to do that, you revert to the previous version of Safari, instructions here.
    http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/downgrade-from-safari-5-0-to-safari-4-0-5/
    Then update to Safari 5 at a later date.

  • TS3230 Yahoo Email attachments

    I have a yahoo email account and need help attaching word documents to a yahoo email.  I have already installed the browser attachment app on my Macbook pro and I have still having difficulties!  What else can I do?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Adding to Reggie's helpful reply, I use Firefox for Yahoo mail. Simply because it lets me compose in html. I have to download the attachments in either Safari or Firefox.
    I don't find Yahoo very consistent, including workable "clickable links" in received e-mails not always functional. On occasion, I'll see an image attachment show up in the body of an E-mail, but not very often. Must have something to do with the e-mail program used by the Sender. Othertimes, I can right-click on an attachment and open it in a new tab. This sometimes actually works where the full image appears. Other times, a thumbnail appears in the tab.
    Overall, Yahoo is not Mac friendly, especially via Safari, when it comes to Video and E-mail. Must be their built-in Google competitive dislike spilling over into the Mac reality. Yet, Yahoo has gone on record saying they intend to be more Safari friendly sometime in 2007. I say "show me the money".

  • In my yahoo email, attachments disappear, and i can only open the inbox, not delete or move anything- help!

    for the past week, my yahoo email will not work in mozilla, my regular browser of choice. the entire list of folders on the left column will not open, the menu options on the top will not open, the setting wheel included. the yahoo account now works fine on my cell, and on any other computer, and now also fine in in IE, after i clicked "compatibility view."
    is there a comparable quick fix in mozilla??

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do 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.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Suddenly I am unable to attach files in yahoo email while using firefox, but when I use IE, there is no problem in attaching files. The problem is existing for last 5 days.

    Even files of small size are not getting attached in yahoo mail when I use firefox. However there is no problem when I use IE.

    Thank you jscher2000. Yes my PDFs do contain the .pdf extension. I tried your excellent idea to utilize the drag and drop method, but I still get the same error message with PDFs. I have no problem attaching photos or Word documents with either method; just PDFs.
    For further diagnostics, I started composing my email in Safari, attached all my pdfs and saved my email as a Draft.  I then went to Firefox, opened the draft to continue working on it, and voila!  There are all the pdfs I attached previously while in Safari.  I was able to send the email with attachments through Firefox with no issues. The attachments went through and were able to be opened.
    I am mystified, as Firefox has been trouble-free with my email account, and I have never had this particular issue till today. I made no changes to anything else on my computer, but I did notice very late last night that Outlook had one of those typical messages at the top of my Inbox to refresh my browser since Outlook had been updated. I refreshed and shut down for the night, and when I rebooted this morning that is when I discovered this brand new glitch with attachments. I'm assuming this has something to do their last update.

  • HT4863 Why is iCloud's maximum files size for email attachments so small? 20MB?!

    ARGH.

    Small? It's only slightly less than Gmail (25mb) and double Hotmails (10mb).
    Email is not designed for sending files, especially large ones. They have to be encoded which increases the size just to pass through as email.
    Use a proper file sending service, or upload the file somewhere and send a link to it by email.
