Jpeg attachment vs. actual picutre?

how can I make a jpeg file appear as an attachment vs. the actual picture?

In your Mail app?
When composing the email, right click (or control click) the image, from the dropdown select "view as icon"

I can't open jpegs attached to my email. What can I do?

I can't open jpegs attached to my email. Error messages say "The file “CH02_12_07_08_07_06_01.jpg” could not be opened." and "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." What can I do?

I'm using Mac Mail as my email client. I've tried to open it directly from the attachment in the email, and also saving it to my download folder to open seperately. It will open on a PC with no issue.
Background: The jpg comes from a remote cameral systems I've set up. Any movement that is detected sends me an email notification and a jpg image of the motion from the camera
I've attached a copy of the jpg file in question.

Jpeg attachment probles when sending from Mail to windows mail applications

hi guys. I hope someone can help me as I have been going round in circles for months with this problem.
The task is to send a jpeg attachment - simple isn't it!
No problems attaching it, whether is embeded or viewed as an icon, that's ok. i have selected the option "always send windows friendly attachments" too.
The problem is on the other end. Pretty much every time I get an email back saying that the images are embeded on the email and cannot be saved (right click, save as...) nor they appear listed as attachments. Not only that, but most times they also appear deformed with weird dimensions and loss of quality.
Can someone help me out here, as you can all imagine sending images is pretty common these days, and whether we like it or not, most people use PCs still

I'm afraid that you don't really have the same problem. You may have the same symptoms but you are not using the same email program, the same server (unless you are also using Gmail), and you are encoding your emails in a Mac specific format.
http://kb.iu.edu/data/abzn.html
I did find a tech blurb that said: "On the Macintosh, the default encoding method for attachments has been changed from BinHex to AppleDouble. This default works across platforms with all MIME-compliant email programs, including Eudora and Microsoft's Outlook Express and Outlook 98."
I quit using Eudora when OS 10.2 came out, so I don't know much more about changing your method of encoding. I checked and the last version of Eudora came out in 2006. Qualcomm has discontinued development for Eudora and none of my clients are using it since it has become a dead end. The last version of Eudora is reported to work with Leopard if you make some changes in the sound files. There is still access to the support forums here:
http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/forumdisplay.php?s=0936570a42fd9c7b0631c91819e3d099 &f=10
I guess that Thunderbird is the recommended program for Eudora users to migrate to if you don't want to use Apple Mail.
You should probably start your own thread with the words "Eudora Attachments" in the title so that people who are using Eudora will see the name of the program and respond with up to date information.

Why are my jpegs attaching to my email so small?

I was sending some emails and attaching photos and all was well - they were actual size. All of a sudden they are tiny
and I didn't change anything. Any ideas why this happened and how to fix it? Thanks!

Hi Coleen
Once attached, look at the bottom right of the Compose Window for Image Size, you should have choices there.

When I email pictures they arrive as distorted pictures the receiver and see or manipulate. How I send so it arrives as a JPEG attachment?

When I email pictures from iphoto they arrive as small distorted images the receiver can't see or manipulate. How do I simply send as a JPeg they can open? Right clicking and selecting "view as icon" doesn't work.

When you create the email go to the menu at the bottom of the Mail email window and select Actual Size to make sure the correct file is being sent.

Windows .jpeg attachment is received as windat.file in Mac mail

Is there a setting I need to change so that .jpeg attachments sent from Windows are not received as win.dat files in Mac Mail?

Are you sending the files, sbertochi?
If so, there's some older advice on this page:
http://www.modemhelp.net/newsletter/email/winmaildat.shtml
If that doesn't seem applicable to your setup, what application (and version of the application) are you using to send the emails with the troublesome jpegs?

I recieved an email(gmail) with a jpeg attachement, i can view it but how do I save it to add to a presentation...I just got an ipad 1 and its my first MAC experience s i have a big learning curve. Thanks

help please

This is off the top of my head, but here goes.
I'm assuming you have Keynote on the iPad.
1- in Mail, press and hold on the image. You should see a pop up that'll say something along the lines of "Save Image". Press Save Image
2- As a sanity check, open the Photos app and look under the album/event "camera roll" or 'saved photos' Make sure said photo is there.
3-In Keynote with a preso open, press the little Picture icon in the upper right. From there, choose "media" choose the 'saved photos' or camera roll' album and then the image.

Why does selecting 'view' to see attached jpeg's download them?

When I click on 'View' to see a jpeg attachment to an email, I expect it to stream the image.
Instead the image downloads the same way it would if I selected 'Scan and Save to Computer' instead.
Is there a way to get such jpeg attachments to be viewable without having to download them?
Also, does anyone know if this is a problem specific to Yahoo! Mail (the mail client I'm using)?
Thanks.

Thanks. I'll have to give Mail a nod, I guess. To date I haven't seen much reason to go beyond 'webmail' -- and I like that, unlike Mail, it's available everywhere in the world on any Internet-connected machine.
Actually, I think this is more of a Macintosh problem (or Macintosh-Yahoo! problem) than a specifically 'mail-related' problem, because on a PC I do not experience the 'unknown' of whether a clicked-on link is going to stream or automatically download. It either streams or requests permission to download.

How to save jpeg email attachment to iphoto?

i'm an iphoto (and mac os x) newbie, and i can't figure out how to save a jpeg attachment that someone has sent me so the image shows up in iphoto. what is the easiest way to do this? i'm using apple mail and iphoto 6 on a macbook pro running os 10.4.5. although occasionally i'd like to save jpegs from my web-based hotmail account too. thanks
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The easiest way to do this in Mail is; next to the attachment field in Mail, you'll see Save & Slideshow. Use the Save pull down menu to "add to iPhoto" & the Slideshow is just what it says, it will do a slideshow of the photos in your email attachment.
I don't use Hotmail, but I'm sure all you do is click on the image, File>Save>Desktop. From there you can drag the image into iPhoto. Or simply drag the image from Hotmail to your Desktop or directly into iPhoto.
I hope that was helpful.

Having Problems with attached JPEGs being Embedded with Outlook XP Clients

Hi...
I have been having problems now for quite some time in relation to this issue... I send a PDF a Zipped file with no problems... but if I send an email with my signature and a JPEG attached, I'm regularly getting clients back saying that I haven't attached any of the photos they requested.... which in reality I have... but they seem to arrive in an embedded format on their end. I then end up having to send again using Gmail which successfully deliver the email plus attachments.
I have the "Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments" feature checked but yet it keeps happening.... I think it could have something to do with my signatures... so I have re-made this on a few occasions deleting any spaces after so that it's as clean as I can get it.... but the problem doesn't go away...
Has anyone experienced this issue before and if so... is there a work around.. or is it just something silly I'm not doing correctly in my settings...
Yours sincerely,
Anthony

Anthony,
Your problem is being caused by the use of Rich Text Format, and having more than one font, or more than one color/size for the same font. This problem is well known, and there are many topics about it. The problem arises in the situation described above because the RTF is being converted to HTML, and with the HTML and inline attachments, Outlook and Outlook Express are well noted to not interpret it correctly. Other email clients do not have the same issues with it.
Simply use Plain Text both in the body and in the Signature, place the attachments after everything else, including the Signature, and all will be well. This has nothing to do with Windows Friendly.
The reason there has to be two or more font combinations, is that will only one, Mail will convert it to Plain Text automatically.

Mail is not displaying attached jpeg iOS7

I believe I found an iOS7 bug. In my email, it shows my jpeg attachment (that I created). When I touch the file to display the image on my iphone 5, it just waits - never loading. I never had a problem displaying jpegs until I downloaded iOS7 tonight!!! I've had an iphone(s) for about 5 yrs. I strongly believe this is a bug since I tested this twice with two different jpeg images. Displaying a 69kb jpeg should not be a problem. But surprise, it is, after moving to iOS7. I'm a seasoned mac-only user (mac workstation, macbook pro, iPhone, Creative Suite 6, Photoshop). And a graphic designer. I can't believe this is happening.
I'm going to send png and gif files to further test this... but it's got to be a bug.
I also saw another fix needed. When installing iOS7, the itunes install progress bar was correct when it got to the end of the bar and showed installation was [100%] complete. On my iPhone, which mirrored the iTunes progress bar, there is a scaling error in the length of the display bar graphic shown on the iphone5. Visually, it got to 50% of the progress bar [then completed]. So, on the phone, the progress bar was visually 2x times too long.

Same problem with images not opening in 'Mail' iOS 7. I send an image to myself from my iMac. When I receive it on the iMac, displays in the body with no problem. When I receive it on mobile devices, I just get an icon that won't open for me. I'll pass along what I found out today...
When I attach those images, I don't type in the message body, because no message needed. BUT... if I type just a few characters in the message body like "123", those very same images will open perfectly on my mobile devices.
I'm sure it's a clue,.. just not sure where to follow it now? Maybe you can duplicate that behavior?

Email button "actual size" attaches reduced size

I recently noticed that when I use the "email button" in iphoto to email a photo and select "actual size" it ends up creating an email with the photo at a reduced size, however this does not happen when I attach photos using the photo browser button in Apple Mail. For instance I attached a 4.5 MB image directly from iphoto using the email button the image in the email ended up being 2.3 MB even though I selected actual size. I then opened Apple Mail and composed a new message, I selected the same photo with the photo browser button, dragged and dropped it and it attached at actual size. Is there any way to attach at actual size using the iphoto email button?

LN,
Thanks for the info. When I email the photo via the iphoto email button and select actual size, actual size is also selected in the email and the file size is still reduced. In addition the size reduction varies from email to email. For instance if I try to send the same 4.5 MB photo from iphoto it may make it 2.3 MB in one email and 3.0 MB in another, both times actual size was selected in iphoto and the email? Any ideas? Thanks again!

Question on sending JPEG Files as attachments in MAIL

It seems that no matter what method I try for attaching an actual JPEG file to an email in Mail, I end up sending the image, not the actual file. Is there a trick to doing this I have not found yet, or does Mail under Leopard only send images? Document and Spreadsheet files work just fine, it's only the image files that are a problem.

Do not confuse View in Place with embedding. The image files that View in Place as you Compose and Send are in fact true attachments. However, it is best to send to some PC users only in Plain Text when sending attachments.

Email showing up as jpeg image only? Links inoperative.

One of the people regularly sending me email recently changed their format. I'm now receiving only a jpeg image of their document. Instead of individual attachments, items now appear in the body of the email with links that do not work. The attachments should be PDF documents that should open in Preview or Acrobat Reader. I contacted the sender and was told they had no idea what's causing the problem. My correspondent said the mails work fine on his iMac. Any ideas?

My correspondent said the mails work fine on his iMac.
Of course they work fine on his Mac, because he's not sending email to himself. Your sender probably changed their sending format to Rich Text, as well as selecting Small from the Image Size popup menu in the bottom right corner of the compose window when they attached a PDF file; that would cause Mail to send only a .jpeg of the actual file instead of the actual file.
Ask them to send Plain Text only, and you should change your format for sending email to Plain Text. You should also ask them to just bundle all images they send into a .zip archive and attach it, and do not select anything other than Actual Size from the Image Size popup menu when attaching any documents or other types of files.

Mail JPEG photo attachments

Greetings. I send variously-sized photo files as JPEGs attached to email; some recipients can open them with no problems, but others have significant difficulties. Most recently, a customer has claimed that she can only open my JPEG photo file attachments as Bitmaps. The files I'm sending are .jpg files saved as Level 12 files in Photoshop and sent actual size. I can't find a Mail preference to alter relating to attachments other than making them compatible with Windows recipients (box checked) and placing them at the end of documents (box checked). Suggestions appreciated.

When e-mailing message to other systems, you are restricted to the lowest-common denominator. Older PC systems often have trouble with e-mail from Macs. Outlook 2003 will, indeed, save your JPEG attachment as a BMP. Of course, it will do that even if you send a JPEG picture using Outlook 2003 . If your hapless PC using-friend upgraded to Outlook 2007, she would actually lose the ability to save the attachment altogether.
Apple's focus is on new technology and ease-of-use rather than support for legacy systema and complexity. If you want, you can manually add some complexity back in to Apple Mail with a 3rd party plug-in like Attachment Tamer.
