Mac Mail Shortening Jpeg Segments

Hi,
I recently installed a CCTV system that emails pictures. I correctly setup the email, and can receive the pictures with no problem on my iPad, Droid phone, and pretty much every other device.
When I open the email with Mac Mail, the picture cannot be recognized. It says that the jpeg segment is too short. When I save it, it says the same thing. I've tried to using Adobe PS5, with no avail.
However, with the same MBPro, when I open that same email using google directly I can both see the picture in the email and download/open it successfully.
I tried using attachment tamer, but that didn't do the trick.
I'm running a 15" MBP, with standard Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. and a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7. Mail is Version 5.2 (1257).
Regards

I have the same problem!!! Anyone have suggestions?

  • Mac mail sending jpegs to a PC not sent as an attachment

    When I send an email with images as jpegs they are not able to see them as an attachment.  When they are revived on a pc in live mail they are stripped of the name and given a different name. My friends can not save them as a jpeg. If I send them in a folder they arrived in live mail as zipped.
    My friends tell me that Mac is making the changes. When sending to another Mac everything is fine.
    Does anyone have an explanation what is going on?  I am on lion when I was on snow leopard there was no problem. All of this seems to be since I switched to lion.
    Thank you

    Do you tick the bottom box 'Send as Windows-Frienly Attachment' when choosing the attachment?

    Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
    Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
    There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
    One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

  • 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?

  • Emailing  jpegs with mac mail

    I am on Mt Lion and running Mail 6.5
    when I attach jpegs either by dragging or using the attachment window, they do not always show upas downloadable on the other end - even to a mac user. I have tried 3 times to send an image to my cousin on a mac and hecannot find a way to get it out of the email \(though he sees the picture) this has happened quite a bit. Is it a bug in mac mail?

    If I understand this correctly, your cousin receives the email with the image embedded in the body of the email but cannot open/save the image ?
    What happens when your cousin right clicks on the image. Do they see a sub menu with various options ie save it/download it to the computer / open in a poarticular application ?

  • All sub-folders in Mac Mail cannot synchronize with Exchange Server 2010

    Hi all,
    All sub-folders under Inbox in Mac Mail cannot be synchronized with Exchange Server 2010. There are 2GB messages size in Inbox folder and 500MB messages size under Inbox's sub-folders. All messages can be sent out and received and it can work in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 normally. However, all messages in sub-folders cannot be synchronized (empty sub-folders).
    Does this problem relate to message synchronization order of Mac Mail with Exchange Server? Do all sub-folders messages be synchronized after synchronization complete of Inbox? The synchronization of sub-folders will not happen if the synchronization of Inbox does not complete, doesn't it?
    All messages synchronization is over internet. Can anybody help?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    1.please check the mailbox send and receive quota for exchange 2013 migrated mailbox.
    2.Please check the email attributes of the exchange 2013 migrated mailbox because it seems to be a problem with that particular mailbox.
    3.Then do the message tracking and that would be the only way to find the where the send messages has gone.
    4.Please check and confirm you have an enough space on the disk where exchange queue database is residing.
    I think I need to create a receive connector in the 2013 to receive from 2010 ?
    No need ,by design  exchange 2013 cas server default frontend receive connector will be having an
    entire ipv4 and ipv6 segment and anonymous connection is checked by default.
    I think I also need to create a send and receive connector for 2013 users to each other?
    No need , an intra organisation send connector and the default receive connectors in exchange will be used
    for internal mail flow between the exchange 2013 users.
    Please reply me if you have any queries .
    Regards

  • Mac Mail resizing (compressible?) images

    I have been using Mac Mail to send images for a few years now. I am fully aware of the Image Size Option in the bottom right hand corner of Mail when an image has been attached. I use this feature often. Recently, the Large and Medium settings are too small. It reduces my 4.1MB image down to 108 KB for Large and Medium, and 70K for Small. In doing  research on these forums I came across a discussion about "compressible" images. What does that mean, and what would be making them (suddenly) un- or non-compressible such that this Mail setting would not work properly?
    In testing, I tried to send an un-edited image. In this case Mail works as it should, resizing the attached image reasonably, with four size options. My edited images seem to cause the problem. I edit in Photoshop (CS3) and always have. I can't remember another time when this has not worked as it should. I am wondering if this is a problem created by a recent update.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    Any insight, or fix, would be greatly appreciated.

    And only when it says Actual Size will the file be right. If it's set on small, medium or large files size will be reduced and will be turned into jpegs, no matter what the original version was.
    So open up an email and attach a file and look at what it says. If it says anything but Actual size the file is already altered. So change it to actual size and save as draft, which you can then delete.
    Then next time you attach an image it should say Actual Size because it defaults to whatever was last used. If it still changes then the file is probably too big, most emails have size limits and it's different for every service, so you have to check not only your own but the receiver of the email because if it's past their limit they will never get it.

  • Mac mail and pdf's

    When I create a pdf in Photoshop cs3 and attach it to an email in mac mail it converts to a jpg. I need for it to remain a pdf for quality. I have gone thru mail prefs and could not find anything relevant.
    thanks
    kiska

    If you are using Tiger and its Mail as your system info reports, then you have the Image Size button set to something other than Actual Size. Change it to Actual Size. It was never intended for this feature to apply to PDF, but in Mail 2.x it could, but changed the file type to JPEG. In Leopard and Mail 3, the Image Size selection cannot be applied to PDF.

  • TS3276 sending emails from mac mail?

    not possible to send email from mac mail since hotmail changed to outlook?

    The logo is an attachment. Anything in an email message that is not text must be sent as an attachment in order to be compliant with email protocols. But many modern email programs will automatically display the contents of some attachments. Apple Mail will display JPEGs and single-page PDFs. Presumably your correspondents are using an application that displays JPEGs but not PDFs.
    Some email programs expect attachments to come at the end of the message, not intermixed with the other contents of the message. Such an app may treat everything after the first attachment as attachments. That might cause the different behavior when additional attachments are included before the attachment in your signature.

  • Mac Mail Resizing Attachments???

    I have been sending out attachments using Mac Mail for a long time but recently I have needed to send out Hi-Res photos for print. When the email is received the files have been shrunk and are too small to use. I have gone through every preference I know of and cannot find a way to turn this off. Any help is appreciated.

    And only when it says Actual Size will the file be right. If it's set on small, medium or large files size will be reduced and will be turned into jpegs, no matter what the original version was.
    So open up an email and attach a file and look at what it says. If it says anything but Actual size the file is already altered. So change it to actual size and save as draft, which you can then delete.

  • How can I keep just one of two accounts offline in Mac Mail?

    I recently switched from Comcast to Cox Cable. Cox has a known issue with push notifications and email doesn't show up at regular intervals. You have to go offline and back on or quit Mail and then open it again to see new messages. It's a pain but it works.
    I still have my Comcast email account enabled on Mac Mail because I need access to old emails and if I disable it (via Preferences), it disappears. I want to take it offline but clicking on the Comcast account and "take comcast.net offline" always takes my Cox account offline as well. I can't get them to both stay online because the Comcast account hangs when it can't connect to Comcast. This really exacerbates the already annoying issue of having to take Cox offline and back on.
    I tried going into the Comcast account via Preferences and unchecking "include when automatically checking for new messages" but when I did so, it kept the Cox account from receiving any messages at all (I confirmed this by checking webmail, and by toggling it on and off to see what happened).
    I need some solution that allows me to see the comcast account in mail without having it be active in any way. I have other mailboxes archived but that process doesn't offer the search capability that I need.

    Aha! I have been doing just that. However, what has been tripping me up is that I am also used to clicking the Go Online/Go Offline toggle button on the top menu bar when I manually check for messages on Cox. Apparently when you take one inbox offline, that button switches to Off even though the other inbox is still online. If I just ignore that button and go on or off via the cox mailbox listing, it keeps comcast from being reactivated.
    Thanks so much for helping me think this through.
    Edited to add: I removed that dang button from my menu so I can stop clicking it.

  • How restore aol sent mac mail from time machine?

    I am using mac mail and an imap connection to aol.  I also have a time capsule and use time machine for backing up. Yesterday I stopped receiving incoming mail in mac mail and tried deleting the aol account in mac mail and then setting it up fresh.  I was shocked to find that my 25,000 AOL sent emails did not restore! I was told by an apple genius bar rep several months ago that once mail was on my machine that the emails would NEVER be lost.  Apparently this is not true.  When I open mac mail and go into my time capsule using time machine, however, do not see the SENT mail icon under AOL--it goes away?  When I try to restore the aol mail from the day before the incident the only thing that comes up is the one Sent Mail mssg that I sent AFTER the deleting and restoring of my AOL account in mac mail. The only relevant post I have found is the one below which was posted in 2008.  Please let me know there is a way to get back my sent messages.  I can't get them directly from the aol server because the server does not save messages that are sent from any client but AOL. Thanks.

    Restoring Apple Mail and Your Emails from Time Machine
    filed under: How-To tags: mail, timemachine Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 11:31 am
    UPDATE (25 August 2010): Please note that this post is well over 2 years old and as Tim pointed out in the comments below, this method may not be the best solution for restoring emails. According to his restore efforts, changes where made to the timestamp from the date in which they were received to the date in which they were restored. I have not tested this myself.
    The hard drive on my PowerBook completely died the other day, but I luckily had been running Time Machine backups since upgrading to Leopard. (I wasn’t all that ****** off seeing as I was eager for an excuse to replace my wimpy 40Gb hard drive with a new 160Gb drive). I fumbled a bit, looking for a specific Apple Mail restore tool. I knew where all my emails lived, but I thought that Apple would have a specific means for restoring apps like Mail. So I created this mini-tutorial on how to restore Apple Mail from Time Machine simply because I could not find this method elsewhere.
    Supposedly, If you attach your Time Machine backup drive, open Apple Mail then launch the Time Machine application, you are presented with historical views of Apple Mail. This did not work for me, the historical views were just blank, so the steps below do not take this approach.
    Restoring Your Emails from a Time Machine Backup
    Warning: If you have already setup Apple Mail with your accounts and preferences, this will negate ALL your doings.
    Note: This process will restore all your email accounts, preferences, passwords, smart mailboxes, etc.
    The How-To
    Before loading Time Machine, open the Finder and navigate to Home Folder (username) -> Library. In there will be a folder name “Mail”. Rename it to “Mail (default)” (Select the folder then hit the Return key to rename).
    Mount your Time Machine Backup Drive (ahem, plug it in).
    Control + Click the Time Machine Application and chose “Browse Other Time Machine disks…”. This, of course, brings up the historical view of your backups.
    Go back to your most recent backup (2nd window back) and navigate to Home Folder (username) -> Library. Select the “Mail” folder and click the restore button (bottom right).
    Once the restore is completed, open Apple Mail and you will be presented with an import wizard (below). Simply follow through the prompts and you will be good to go.
    That’s it!UPDATE (20-January-2009): After step 4., also restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistThanks Jon C.
    If you have multiple mail accounts, you should also restore the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file as well. This will ensure all of your account settings are imported. – Jon C.

    Don't try to restore the file; restore the Note. Go in Mail to the mailbox where the note belongs. Enter Time Machine from there and step back until you find the Note.

  • How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

    I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard.  I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac.  I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
    Have you got any more tips?
