Mail not decoding .jpg attachment properly

When I receive a .jpg email attachment, sometimes the picture will be displayed properly and sometimes I get a ? mark. What is strange is sometimes I can reopen a message with a .jpg attachment and it will then display the image correctly or sometimes doing so on a message that previously would result in displaying a ? mark, it will then display the image properly. So it seems random although I get more ? marks then properly displayed images. I don't recall having this problem with my older itouch.

I have the exact same issue.
Since upgrading I can no longer view jpg images sent by email from my security camera system. They used to be shown within the message, but since the upgrade to Yosemite they're not shown in the message anymore.
When I try opening the attachment after I have saved it, it says it may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
I wonder if it has something to do with the file name
Here is an example - 02_20141022141258.jpg
I have no issues viewing the images on my iPhone or iPad
Mac Pro (early 2009) OS X Yosemite

ITunes 10.2.1 does not decode mp3 files properly

Hello,
I have recently posted the results of my MP3 decoder test, covering iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media Player and Foobar2000:
http://blog.szynalski.com/2011/03/16/itunes-10-2-1-fails-to-decode-mp3-files-pro perly/
The result is that iTunes 10.2.1 (Windows) fails to decode mp3 files properly. Its output does not match the other tested players, nor does it match the Fraunhofer decoder in Cool Edit Pro. I have not tested the Mac version.
The distortion is mostly above 16 kHz.
I am posting this here in the hopes that someone from Apple will take notice.
Best,
Tomasz P. Szynalski

I solved my problem I tried several other programs to play my music and since nothing seemed to work, i started deleting other software from my computer and apparently Uniblue's RegistryBooster was the one that caused the problem. Now able to enjoy music from my computer again

Mac mail not showing jpg attachments after yosemite install

I use Mac Mail and have recently upgraded to Yosemite.
Since upgrading I can no longer view jpg images sent by email from my security camera system. They used to be shown within the message, but since the upgrade to Yosemite they're not shown in the message anymore (well, they are shown in about 1% of messages), even the attachment won't open after saving to desktop.
When I try opening the attachment after I have saved it, it says it may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
I can view these images when using outlook on my mac, but preferred the Mail app, as it was easier to view the images in Mail.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Mail not sending jpg/pdf files

You've probably all heard about this problem but does anyone have a fix?
When i send jpg or pdf files to windows computers they don't show up at the other end.
This problem is intermittent. If i'm sending mutliple files it sometimes send one but not others.
Clicking 'windows friendly attachments' does not work. It's already ticked.
I'm using a Macbook pro 10.5.4 with Mail Version 3.3 (926.1/926)
Can anyone give me a definative anwser? Searching the wbe and these forums just throws up more unknowns!

Zipping files takes very little time, since it's built-in to OS X and available as a Contextual Menu item. Aside from that, your files are being received, even if your recipients don't know it. There is something about their mail client that blocks them from seeing them, but if they were to display the full headers of your email, all the images should indeed be there.
Entourage is no panacea, either; the same thing could happen with that program and your recipients. The only way to ensure that files are received as visible attachments is to archive them all and send that archive file.

How do I insert an image into the body of an e mail (not as attach)

I wish to put a picture in the body of an e mail, not as an attach.
How does this happen

In Gmail, simply drag & drop into the text area;
or mouseover the "+" in the bottom toolbar, then click the camera icon.

Switchers beware - email from Mail is not processed by Outlook properly

I was furious to learn yesterday that many of the emails I have sent over the past few months to Customers / Suppliers / Colleagues and friends just haven't been read properly. The reason for this due to Mail's failing to send a compatible format which can easily be read on outlook!!! Either the email is not able to be processed by Outlook properly, or Mail sends it in an unexpected format removing text from the message, unexpectedly. Just be very careful not to assume your email is being read in a way Mail presents it to you by your Outlook recipients!
This is absolutely unforgivable, IMHO, from such a basic application which is apparently part of the "most advances operating system in the world"! Apple like to keep crowing about the compatibility with Microsoft applications, but they cant even claim this for their basic bundled email client!
I have a few examples, here is one: create a new mail; type some text; leave 3 line spaces; type some more text; leave 3 more line spaces; type some text to sign off. Insert two photos by drag and drop into the two spaces you left between the text. The mail looks great doesn't it? Address it to a friend who uses Outlook (certainly Outlook 2008) on Windows (or an address which can be set-up on a Windows Outlook client), press send. Check out how it looks in your sent items, still looks great! Now check it on Outlook. The first piece of text is in the message body. The photos are there as attachments. The rest of your message has been shifted to two separate text attachments which look too innocuous to be bothered with. I wonder how this would look on a blackberry???
The point is, depending on how the mail is worded can mean the actual message can be completely lost and you would never know why?
This is a massive failing for Mail which I don't see many people discussing, so am I alone? Other examples include inserted line breaks in messages once they are read on Outlook. I dread to think how the mail appears on a blackberry?
If I knew how to include screen shots here I would.

Hi Barney, I am replying to you to apologise for coming across as adversarial. I didn’t mean to. I was venting frustration at Apple for what I see as causing me a problem using their Mail client as instructed, and the email not showing up in recipients Outlook clients as intended. I will not use this forum to vent frustration at Apple in future as it clearly upsets some people here.
I still feel that this is a major flaw on Apple’s part, especially as most other widely used clients and Webmail don’t present this problem. I will have users on my case asking me why Mail doesn’t send email properly to our customers who use Outlook. They will hate Entourage and it will drive them back towards Outlook on Windows, which I don’t want because I believe superior productivity can be achieved with Mail, Address Book, iCal etc.

I send Mail to my Outlook account at work and it shows up exactly as I sent it, after I enable HTML in Outlook. My exchange server turns off HTML by default and I must specifically select it in each message. I have tried various methods including "Windows friendly," and I actually got better results by not using that option.
Communicating this to all our suppliers and customers is impractical.
Well then, just use Thunderbird.
That doesn’t help and is not why I am posting a topic here. I am just pointing out that it must be possible for Apple to address this issue by highlighting that Thunderbird has.
What every person should know is that there is no standard that prevents an email client from displaying an email any way it wishes. No matter what you do on your end when sending, the recipient's email client decides how to display the email. If you want people to see a document exactly as you prepared it, send a pdf. It is designed for that exact purpose. Email is not.
I agree. Every person should know this, but I don’t think they do. I do think users have the right to expect their email, at the very least, to be readable (all text present) in this scenario.
I agree that complex formatting, web publication style columns etc. should be preserved for HTML email and pdf etc. and not expect Mail to produce email readable by other receiving clients.
However, I think expecting users to convert documents to pdf just because they want to attach a photo is impractical, unproductive and unnecessary. Email is evolving from a pure text only way to communicate and users are being encouraged by Apple to use Mail for this purpose. I really don’t think I am expecting too much in this scenario. I think even Apple would agree to this. I could well be wrong though, which is why I’m using their forum.
It does send internet compatible email. How your recipient sees that message is up to their client.
I bow to your expertise here. Your forum status suggests you are more qualified than I on this topic and I am sure Apple are clever enough to ensure their client sends internet compatible email.
It certainly appears that the receiving client is at fault by seemingly not following internet standards as you suggest, in this case Outlook. However, it doesn’t help Mail users because Outlook is used by so many business customers and suppliers, so many family members and friends. Users of Mail should be aware of what is happening to their simple messages upon receipt by Outlook. Or Mail should compensate for this. I strongly feel that this is a major flaw. As mentioned, I don't know of another widely used client that has this problem with Outlook recipients. Surely this is as important to most users as ensuring email is internet compliant.
Outlook is so widely used that MS is powerful enough to ignore that, just because Mail follows certain standards, messages from Mail are pulled to pieces and miss-presented to Outlook users. Complaining to MS is a complete waste of time. Outlook writes it's own standards and as far as I know, Mail is the only email client that cant send this simple mail in a way that can be easily read by Outlook users.
Trying to make your software "Microsoft compliant" is stupid, ...
I think many, including Apple, and most software developers and users think otherwise. Take a look at one post in this forum entitled Snow Leopard with Exchange support not working 33,000+ views and proof that Apple are trying hard to interact properly with MS email products.
...as they will just change the specification to break your program.
I think it’s an unfortunate but necessary evil at the moment. You are probably right to elude to the fact that the industry should be better regulated.

Mail on iPad not downloading JPG attachments

The "Mail" app on my iPad2 has recently started to not download JPG files.
The JPG attachment shows as the "download arrow". Nothing happens when I press it (to force a download) or press-and-hold it (to save it). This problem is restricted to the iPad as the JPG attachments are visible both in Mail on my Mac and via iCloud through a browser.
Strangely, if I 'forward' the mail to myself (from the iPad) and chose 'include attachment', the incoming email now downloads the JPG attachment and, if you press-and-hold, the 'save image' menu appears. Clearly this is a work-around but not really very suitable.
This may be a coincidence but this appears to have started after I moved from MobileMe to iCloud !
Any ideas ?
Cheers.

Can I send an E-Mail with photo (not as an attachment)?

I would like to send an E-Mail with a small photo (not as an attachment) to someone who is reluctant to open attachments. Can I do this and how??
Thank you
tch

If you insert an image into the body, it will still be 'attached', even though it won't be listed as an attachment in the usual way. Another option is to upload the photo to your personal storage space such as OneDrive or Google Drive, and then email the link to the image. The image can then be displayed in a web browser. If you don't have a storage space, there are plenty of free image-hosting services.

Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Hi Conny,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that the attachment to an email sent to your Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer’s ePrint email address did not print.
After the PDF didn’t print, did you log into your HP Connected account? I’m curious as to what HP Connected indicated about the print job. I have included the ePrint Job Did Not Print document. It has several causes and solutions as to why the PDF didn’t print.
Regards,

Create newsletter with Pages and send out via mail (not attachement)?

I have a question: I have created a newsletter in Iworks Pages. How can I send this out via mail as a newsletter ? So not as an attachment? I know Microsoft Publisher can do it with 1 click, but I don't want to move to MSFT. Please let me know, I also have Indesign etc. Createion of the newsletter is easy with my Apple, but then it stops....and gets worse the MSFT....

As far as I know, only single page PDFs will appear directly in the mail and they will do only in some mail applications.
No it is multipage. Can't test for all appliactions but it was both sent and received on my system/Mail as the 3 pages in the document.
In other apps and always if the PDF contain several pages, it will be an attachment : what was rejected by the OP.
When Helena Rubenstein arrived in Australia she first worked in David Jones, our version of Harrods.
A woman approached another salesperson and asked "Do you have a brown cashmere top?"
To which the salesperson replied "Sorry no madam"
Helena stepped in and asked "Would madam like a blue or black one instead?" and made the sale to the lady who wanted a top. It seemed that was more important than none at all.
There is a lesson to be learnt from this.

Firefox will not let me attach files to my e-mail

When I received one of the last updates for Firefox, I lost the ability to attach files or photos to my e-mail. I can attach files and photos if I am on Internet Explorer. I only have the problem with Firefox. Deos something need to be reset?

Attached is a screen print from hotmail. The insert line (which is circled in red) is not functioning at all. The links are not active links. I was able to attach files in Internet Explorer 8, but not in Firefox (3.6.13).
I hope this helps.

Oh no... NOT THE 99-PAGER!!! Anything but THAT!!!

I keep getting "undelivered mail returned to sender" that comes with an attachment. I have not opened the attachment but the email returned is usually from people that i have not emailed in a long time.

I keep getting "undelivered mail returned to sender" that comes with an attachment. i do not open the attachment but i get email returned from people that i have not emailed in years. I also have current people that tell me they receive email from me and there is nothing on the email and it is a repetative thing for them and for me. I have scanned my computer and it keeps telling me there are no viruses but i keep getting these emails. can anyone help me please!

Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line. Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it. It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.
