Is there a size limit to embedded photos in Leopard Mail?

Whenever I paste a photo into an email using Mail, the size of the picture is reduced to a very small file. Using Entourage, the same paste embeds a photo of the size I intended.
Is there some setting to change the limit on size in Mail? or am I doing something else wrong?
thanks
Tom O'Connell

I have the same problem. I choose "original size" or "high quality" in the size window, but Mail/iPhoto still reduces the picture to a small file size to email it. (last pm from a 1 mb photo to about 90 kb).
Why does Mail reduce it despite my choosing a large file size?

Is there a size limit to how many emails in Mail?

Is there a size limit to how many emails in Mail?
I have recently converted from MS Outlook 2007, where the maximum storage is 20 GB.
Is there any such limit in Mail?
In other words, I currently have 30,000 inbox emails and 20,000 sent emails. Together, my Outlook PST file is 2 GB. Would Mail prevent me in any way, or could I keep as many emails as my hard drive will permit?
I thank you all in advance for any thoughts and/or suggestions.

Harold,
Have you checked this in Synchronization Preview? Did you see any error?

What is the size limit of mbox files in Leopard Mail 3.0 ?

What is the file size limit of mbox files in Leopard Mail?
e.g. a main folder -- that contains no actual emails -- but contains many sub-folders each of which have an mbox file.
Each mbox file has a limit, but because the main folder has several mbox files/subfolders, it means that the size of the main folder gets very large.
Question: is there is a size limit for the main folder, even though there is no mbox file associated with the main folder (since it merely acts as a folder for subfolders)?
Question: what is the practical limit for each mbox file -- theoretical and practical? i.e. what size should we not exceed in order to avoid corruption?

I've been researching for the same answer. And technically speaking, I don't have one. In the past, I've "heard" that the mailbox size limit was something like 1GB for Mail (OS X 10.3) and then something like 2-4GB for Mail (OS X 10.4). I have searched all over the place in technical documentation and can't really get a good answer. I'm almost leaning towards believing that there is no limit, based on the fact that the database that mail is using (particularly for OS X 10.4) is BerkeleyDB 4.2.52 and that DB doesn't have a size restriction. I'm not sure if that is the only factor involved though. I've tried researching the limits for KMail, which is the mail program that runs on KDE (Linux), which is the program that Mac OS X Mail is based off of... and I can't find anything there either. Most people say, "It's a free app, so don't expect much," but I'd rather use Mac OS X Mail than most anything else. I hope that maybe someone from Apple... or someone else who can reference technical documentation can help out. Thanks!

Is there a size limit on photo attachments that can be opened

whenever i try to open a large photo attachment (most recently, i tried a 3.5mb jpeg i sent myself from one email account to another), the iphone will download the entire file, but instead of opening the file i am given the boxed ? (question mark) with the blue background as if the iphone does not recognize the file format. however it is definitely a jpeg file. this only happens when i try to open files of larger size (maybe 2.5 mbs and up..)
is there a size limit that the iphone will recognize photos?
i am using a 16gb iphone 3G

There is no file size limit that I'm aware of.
When I receive an email with a large photo attachment or with a number of photo attachments, the photo or photos may not appear automatically opened as inline or viewed in place depending on my internet connection at the time - wi-fi or the cellular network, which requires selecting the attachment to download and open the attachment. I haven't received a boxed ? mark on a blue background - not yet anyway.

Is there a size limit on internal HD? iBook G4 1Ghz

Recently bought a used 12" iBook G4. Of course no installation discs came with it.
When received it had a 30 Gb hard drive, 528 mb RAM, and 10.3.9.
I wanted to max out RAM, increase HD size, and move to 10.4.x.
(Additional background - I have various other Macs and can use Fire Wire Target Mode from any of them to the "new" iBook.)
RAM upgrade successful. I borrowed install discs from a friend with a similar though not identical machine; his is a 1.33 Ghz. When I removed the old HD and replaced with a new 160 Gb drive, the Install discs did not see the HD. So I took the iBook apart again, put the new drive in an OWC external enclosure connected to my Powerbook G4. Saw that the drive needed formatting, duh, I did so. Put it back in the iBook. Started up from the install disc, it still did not see the HD. Started the iBook in Fire Wire Target mode; could not see the newly installed HD from the other machine either; all I could see on the iBook end of the Firewire was the CD/DVD. I have looked through various threads here related both to iBook HD replacement and to system upgrade concerns - nothing I find matches my issue.
I have since reinstalled the original 30 Gb HD, have used the borrowed installation discs to do a clean install of 10.3.x (so the similar but not identical was close enough) and a retail 10.4 Install to upgrade the system. So, 2 out of 3; I have my expanded memory, a clean upgraded system. But I hate to give up on a bigger internal HD!!!
1. Is there a size limit on the internal HD on the iBook? Is 160 Gb too large, and should I try again with a less aggressive increase? I do have a 60 Gb I could pull out of a PB G4 I will probably sell...
2. If size is not the problem, it seems that maybe it would help if I somehow pre-install the system onto the 160Gb before I physically put it into the iBook. But I do not understand the whole process of making bootable backups etc. Is there a way I can copy my current installation, or do a reinstallation of 10.3.x or 10.4.x on the 160 Gb while is is external, connected via Firewire, and then swap the 160 Gb into the iBook and have it just boot up? I see hard drives for sale in eBay "with OS X 10.x.x already installed..."? I tried, both from my Powerbook and from the iBook to do an Install onto the 160 Gb while it was attached via Firewire. The PB didn't want to have anything to do with those iBook Install discs. The iBook wouldn't allow me the option of doing an Installation onto the External drive. And I assume that a simple Select-All-and-Copy isn't going to do it for me. So how do I install onto the drive while it is external, and will it work once I move it into the iBook?
3. Probably not important, but out of curiosity... if I could use my Powerbook G4 Installation discs to burn a new system onto my 160 Gb drive (when it was connected as an external to the PB), and then put that drive into the iBook, would that work? Or would iBook vs. Powerbook differences throw off the installation?
Thanks!
Stan

Shiftless:
Is there a size limit on the internal HD on the iBook?
The only limitation of HDD size is due to availability. The largest capacity ATA/IDE HDD available is 250 GB. Theoretically there is no limit to the capacity your computer will support, if larger capacity HDDs were available.
If size is not the problem, it seems that maybe it would help if I somehow pre-install the system onto the 160Gb before I physically put it into the iBook.
This is not necessary, although you could do it this way. I note in your later responses that you have already attempted this process and have some difficulties. Here is the procedure I would recommend, after the HDD is installed.
• Clone the old internal HDD to an external firewire HDD. I gather you have done this.
• Format and erase the newly installed HDD (directions follow).
• Install new OS from disk or clone back from external HDD. (Post back for directions if you choose to install from this and then restore from backup).
Formatting, Partitioning Erasing a Hard Disk Drive
Warning! This procedure will destroy all data on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure you have an up-to-date, tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
• With computer shut down insert install disk in optical drive.
• Hit Power button and immediately after chime hold down the "C" key.
• Select language
• Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
• Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
• Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
• Click on Options button
• Select Apple Partition Map (PPC Macs) or GUID Partition Table (Intel Macs)
• Click OK
• Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
(Note 1: One partition is normally preferable for an internal HDD.)
• Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
• Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
• Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
• Select Erase tab
• Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
• Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
• Click Erase button
• Quit Disk Utility.

Is there a size limit when importing videos?

Is there a size limit when importing videos into iTunes (8)? I have a 4+ gig video file I'm trying to import, but when I drag/drop it into the movies, nothing happens. It works fine with smaller files.

ah I see something in other forums about a Windows size limit of 4 gigs, so I guess that answers it.

Is there a size limit on the iPod for the song database file ?

I have been running into the same issue for the last 2 weeks: Once I exceed 110 GB on my iPod Classic 160 GB, iTunes is no longer able to update the database file on the iPod.
When clicking (on the iPod) on Settings/About, the iPod displays the wrong number of songs. Also, the iPod is no longer able to play any songs.
Is there a size limit for the database file on the iPod ?
I am making excessive use of the 'comments' field in every song that I load to the iPod. This increases the size of the database file.
Is there a way, that I can manually update the database file on the iPod ?
Thanks for your help !

did you experience some crashing of the ipod as well? do you know how many separate items you had?

Is there a size limit to exporting PDF to Word?

Is there a size limit when exporting PDF to Word format? I keep getting time out errors for files exceeding 100 MB

Hi riversideredhead63,
100 MB is indeed the file size limit for uploading files to cloud.acrobat.com. Have you tried optimizing the PDF files in Acrobat to reduce their file size?
Best,
Sara

Is there a size limit for uploading files?

is there a size limit for uploading files?

You have max 20GB storage.
Upload anything you want up to that limit - be it one file or many.
The only limit after that is the speed of your internet connection since extremely large files can take hours to upload.

Is there a size limit to Notes on iPhone 5?

My wife makes long notes on her iPhone 5, but some of her notes just disappear. Is there a size limit on Notes on iPhone 5?
I cannot see any other reason for them disappearing.

Hi,
We don't get any error messages - basically we have converted an XML structure to a std::wstring which we then convert to PMString and store as persistent data on the document. Somewhere along the way the string has been truncated which means that when we try to read it back into an XML structure it fails. It sounds like this isn't an issue with storage in the document, it must be being truncated before it gets into the document.
I just wanted to check what the limit was in the document (I haven't been able to find that in any documentation) so that I could trap any strings that were too big before they were written into it.
Thanks,
Dan
