Mail issue - When trying to attach a file to a new email nothing happens.

When creating new email, I click on File/attach file.  Nothing happens,  no window brought up to select file or anything.  When clicking the photo Browser button in the toolbar I get the clolred spinning wheel which goes forever.  I have to force close mail then.  I can copy & paste a file in an email with no problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The same thing happened to me and I accidentaly found a solution. It is not the best solution but at least it works. Try to write your email and attach your file offline, then connect your modem and send your email. This worked fine for me.

  • Firefox crashes when trying to attach a file to gmail compose

    Vista 32 laptop. When trying to attach a file to a gmail compose, explorer dialog pops up and then firefox crashes. Happens every time, and started (I think) with version 16 or 17. Updated plugins, went through troubleshooting on help menu, tried safe mode. All to no avail. IE works fine.

  • CName Error When Trying to Attach Particular File

    I am using custom buttons to attach, view and remove attachment files to my LiveCycle form. Most files attach without any problem. I have a particular file named, "RECN-TrackingLog.xlsm" that I receive the following error when trying to attach this file to the form. If I copy the file to my desktop, it attaches to the form without any problem. It is named exactly the same. Any idea what is causing this error? I have included the script for the "Attach" button below.
    var myDoc = event.target;
    var sFile = "myFile"+Math.round(Math.random()*10000000000000);//Randomly generated number
    myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
    var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile);
    var sFileName = myDataObject.path;
    ListBox1.addItem(sFileName,sFile);
    NumericField1.rawValue = NumericField1.rawValue + 1;

    This error turned out to be caused because someone else had that networked file open at the time I was trying to attach the file. That's why when I dragged and dropped a copy onto my desktop, that "version" of the file was not open and would attach without any problem.

    There is a problem when i click the "+" tab to "open a new tab" nothing happens. It use to open new tabs and now it does nothing. Even when i go to "File" and "New Tab" it still does nothing. The only time i can get a new tab to open is if i go to "Help" and click "Firefox Help" then a new tab with firefox help opens.

    '''eshbach''', Did you try updating the Trusteer Rapport software and did it fix the problem with Firefox crashing when downloading a file or saving a page?
    '''mike_berry413''',
    If you don't need the Trusteer Rapport software, you can remove it. If you need the software, you can try updating it or else temporarily disable it to see if that stops the crashes.

    You can try this link to download iTunes from the Apple website. It should resolve the issue for you.

  • How do I attach several files to an outgoing email?

    I am trying to attach several files to one outgoing email address.  I am looking for feedback on how this can be done or to be informed if it is not possible.  Thank you.

    Basically, it is not possible unless they are photos (max of 5) from with the Photo app or documents fom specific pps such as Goodreader. Otherwise, you open the app, select the document and then email.

  • Outlook crashes when trying to attach file. Excel crashes when trying to save. (Possibly Connected)

    A colleague is trying to attach a file to an email by clicking the attachment icon and it crashes, however it does not crash when you drag and drop.
    When they try to save an excel file by going New File > Save as, it crashes, but when you right click in a folder or desktop and create new excel and then work on it and save, it works.
    I already uninstalled, install compatibility pack again, reinstall, updated, disable all add-ons and ran them both in safe mode and it still crashes. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • When trying to attach a document, a dump file is created and SBO crashes.

    Good day all,
    When a user try to attach a document, using the Browse Button, SBO crashes and creates a dump file. The same happens when "manager" tries to attach a file from that PC. From other PC's there is no problem. We can access the attachments folder from that PC. The path also points through the server, (through the network), and not to C drive.
    Does somebody maybe have a solution? SAP 2007A SP01 PL05.
    Kind regards

    Hi Carin ,
    Have you assinged the proper path to the Attachment Folder in the " Path Tab "
    of  Administration --> System Initialization  --> General Settings .
    If the path is assinged to some network place and not working .
    Then once try to assing some local machine path and then try the same ..
    If the problem solve with local path  .. then there may be some problem with the network .
    Hope it Helps
    Thanks

  • Iphoto Images will not Load when trying to attach as a file.

    When trying to attach a Iphoto image to either gmail or facebook, I am able to access Iphoto; however, I receive a message "Loading Iphoto images" but the photos never load. This just recently occurred a few weeks ago and I have never had problems uploading photos from Iphoto in the past. I am able to drag the photo to my desktop and then upload from the desktop folder but am curious why the Iphoto images are no longer being loaded.
    Thanks ~ Marie
