Mail stopped loading images...

Over the past few weeks, my mail has stopped loading images - they are there if I go to www.me.com, but not on my Powerbook. Over the same timescale, the regular Apple Hot News feeds on RSS have stopped and I cannot access iTunes store - get the message 'error-2094'. Any help....?

When you receive email in HTML format (that is, as a web page), the message will usually contain links to images hosted on a remote server. When you display those images, the sender of the message will know that you've read his message, when you read it, who your ISP is, and approximately where you are. You may regard this as an invasion of your privacy. If the message is spam, then your address has been confirmed as valid and you've been confirmed as someone who opens spam messages. That will ensure you get even more spam.
If you don't care about the above, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ Viewing
from the menu bar and check the box marked
Display remote images in HTML messages

Safari stops loading images randomly

When I'm using Safari, it will be working fine, and then for some unknown reason, it will just stop loading images, and a small blue box with a question mark will appear instead.
This happens on all sorts of pages, it can be a page that was loading fine before, then no images will load.
Also, the problem does eventually go away, and then images start loading again.
I noticed tonight that it started happening when my battery was low...could it be related to battery power?
Help! This is very annoying.

I'd love to know why this seems to have worked...
DNS - Domain Name System - is the system that tells your computer and web browser where to look for a domain like www.apple.com. The domain is just a name - some system has to be used to figure out where that site actually resides, so it can be loaded in a web browser.
Basically, each ISP sends you to a DNS server that looks up a domain (e.g. www.apple.com) and figures out what that domain's IP address is (e.g. 17.149.160.49 ). Your web browser is then directed to that physical address and is able to load the web site you were looking for.
Some DNS servers (nameservers) can be flaky, either not providing updated addresses or being slow to access. Sometimes there are problems in communication somewhere between your computer, your router, your modem, and the DNS server. Often those problems can be fixed by manually entering your ISP's nameserver addresses or by using alternate nameserver addresses. Common alternate nameservers are Verizon's DNS servers (which include the addresses 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2) and the OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220).
By specifying nameserver addresses in your System Preferences or in your router's settings, you are choosing to use a different system for finding web sites than the one your ISP is using and/or you might be solving any communication problems that might exist somewhere between your computer and the nameserver you're using.

Prevent iPhone Mail from loading images in HTML e-mails

Hello there!
Is it possible to prevent iPhone Mail from loading images in e-mails?
If yes, where can I change those settings?
Cheers,
Thomas

Ian, thanks for your quick reply.
I just hope Apple is going to build this feature into one of the next firmware updates, since from my point of view this is not only a security concern, but could turn out quite expensive if you are on a bad price plan.

Fx 31 for Mac suddenly stopped loading images does anyone have a solution to this.

In the middle of the day Fx stopped loading images for buttons, pictures on websites etc. I can use other browsers on my Mac and they work fine. I have reset Fx and tried with no add-ons installed. I have even removed and reinstalled. No change.

You have the QuickJava 2.0.4 extension installed and this extension allows to toggle the image setting as well.

Junk mail still loading images

Hi -- I've set my Mail program to NOT display remote images, and Junk Mail filtering is on, but if I click on a message marked as "Junk" it still loads up the image! Doesn't this kind of defeat the security involved in marking a message junk? Loading the remote image now tells the spammer that my email address is valid and I am clicking on their messages! How do I tell Mail to stop it? This makes me wary of even trying to check if a message is spam or not in fear of accidentally transmitting my existence to the spammer...

Hi geefunk3.
it still loads up the image!
What image? The setting is just to prevent Mail from loading remote images. There is no harm in Mail displaying images sent as attachments with the message. Only images that require connecting to a remote server to display them are an issue -- see How HTML Email Messages Relate to Unsolicited Commercial Email ("spam").

Safari, firefox both stopped loading images suddenly

Everything was working great, then suddenly both safari and firefox stopped loading all images. Ebay, Amazon, Netflix and so on, even the mac store site will not load the images. I am using Safari 6. I have done all the updates, cleared all the caches, did all the suggested things the forums said. Change DNS and so on, nothing is working. I don't understand how this could happen. Can someone please help!!!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Safari has stopped loading images

Ok so I seriously need some help quickly here, I've been on my laptop all day and it's been fine but since about an hour ago (although I didn't know the extent of it until just now after trying a few different webpages) Safari has just stopped loading any images whatsoever. I thought it may have just been a Youtube glitch, where I first saw it, when the thumbnails weren't loading but the videos were working fine but now I've noticed that no webpage is loading any images at all, no logos, no photos, no buttons in some cases which must be clickable images I guess. I've tried the good old 'quit and reopen it and hope it's fixed itself' method and tried restarting my entire Macbook (a mid-2011 Macbook Air if it makes any difference) but neither has fixed it. Has something been disabled/enabled somehow that I'm not aware of or what?
To note too I also updated Safari yesterday to 6.1.5, along with iTunes and some security settings too I think when the system update popped up if that may have effected it somehow although it's been working fine all day up until now. I seriously need some help asap!

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Why has mac mail stopped displaying images in emails?

upgraded to ML when it came out, all fine, but 2 weeks ago, mail suddenly stopped displaying any images in my emails.
how do i get them back???
thanks in advance

Re: my Mac also JUST stopped showing embedded images in my email several weeks back. I've done it all to fix it including reloading mail program but still no luck. this is really ticking me off because I can not even tell what the emails are about. what the heck, doesn't someone from Apple review these posts once in a while.

Stop loading images from Web Service

Using the following code I put multiple request for images to the web service:
                    var pageArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
                    pageArray = event.result as ArrayCollection;
                    for (var ii:int = 0; ii < pageArray.length; ii++)
                        var filePage:FilePage = (filePages.placeImagesHere.addElement(new FilePage) as FilePage);
                        filePage.load('image_'+pageArray[ii].imageID.toString());
The loading takes place as multiple images are returned fom the server. All is well until the user wants to abort the image loading to view something else. removeAllElements() is called when a Close button is pressed but the images are still returned in the background.
                     placeImagesHere.removeAllElements();
If many images are to be returned the user has to wait for this to finish before the next lot of images can be viewed. I would have expected the function removeAllElements() would stop the process but it doesn't.
Is there any was to 'flush' or stop all previous image requests?
Thanks,
Stewart.

Thanks for the reply but the for loop finishes and the asynchronous event of receiving the images still occurs.
For example, the for loop loads 500 images. The web service takes 2 or 3 mintues to process all the images and returns them into each requesting Image component. The Close button calls the removeAllElements from the Images' parent so they no longer appear on the screen. However, the browser is still receiving the images. You can see the transfering data message flick on and off in the status line al the bottom of the browser.
The web service hasn't received all the requests at this point so they are still in transit from the browser to the web service.
Using a timer to load the images just means the images requests take longer to send to the web service.
What I need to do is cancel all image load requests when the user presses the Close button.
Hope this make sense.
Stewart.

Safari stopped loading images suddenly

No more images loading with Safari 3.0.4 it was working fine until now . Firefox work's fine , the other computer Imac connected on the same internet provider has Safari working ok .

Mail stopped loading emails from only one account

I am running a MacBook Pro (2GHz intel core i7, 16bg 1600 MHz DDR3 and Os X version 10.9.4) and my mail has been acting strangely - not loading emails, or taking a very long time to load them. It has now lost all but 6 emails in one IMAP email account (outlook.com is the issue, googlemail.com mail is fine) and those 6 emails are very slow to load; I am very new to my MacBook and don't know where to begin. I have search online for the issue, but don't know where to begin. I have no rules on my email account, and have not changed any settings that I know of on my web account or within Mail. I have been having to get my mail through Chrome rather than Mail due to being on my clients Wifi and their firewall prevents using any mail server but theirs, and was experiencing issues when accessing webmail through Safari - any ideas?

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

IPhoto has stopped loading images

I'm on a photography course - uploading images is critical. Two things; For some reason iPhoto has stopped recognising my images. Canon Image Browser still recognises them and uploads but iPhot claims they are unreadable. What has changed?
Also, some thumb nails won't happen. Is the image still on my HD, if so where and how do I find it. Or is it lost forever?
Small words please as I'm struggling to get to grips with Mac!
Cheers

What camera(s) are you using, and are you using RAW or jpeg format?
Usually a photography course requires you to start using RAW if they're teaching post-processing (i.e modification after the picture is on your computer) and I'm thinking maybe you're using a camera whose RAW files are not supported?
The Canon image browser doesn't use the built-in OS support so it would be able to see the files. But if you're using a very old or a very new camera, chances are it has a RAW file type that the OS doesn't support. JPEGS from the same camera are usually always supported since that format is a standard.

Stop loading of images/PDFs inline

Is there any way to stop this stupid program from loading images/PDFs inline (dumbest default setting ever).
As an architect we send large PDFs and Mail.app often chokes trying to display them inline.

Christian,
Yes, there can certainly be a problem with unrasterized graphics files, and I have reported that to Apple way back in 2006, with Tiger, pointing out that Mail should not be trying to render such files to View in Place. Then it was true for not only Mail but also for Preview. See:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2024135#2024135
A PDF that needs to be rasterized (for example when printing), is a poor candidate for emailing, except when zipped, and then you must be sure the recipient has software handle.
I guess this exchange proves there still has not been a distinction made in Leopard to not attempt to render such files with View in Place. I am disappointed in that.

When i use IE9, i go to my emails and any pics in the mail open with the mail but with FF i have to download them is there a way to make the pics open in the mail, i set yahoo to load images automatically in the options menu this has had no effect, thanks

some pictures(jpeg or gif) come as part of email if i use IE9 these images open as part of the mail, but with firefox i have to download them separately and then they don't appear in email. i have been in the options menu and allowed yahoo.com to automatically load images but this has had no effect, thanks

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Can you auto-load images in junk mail?

Am I wrong in thinking that once you could make a choice to load images automatically when opening junk mail? Can you now?

No, there is not. It wouldn't be reliable or useful. If Mail filters it as junk, presumably you won't be opening it, and thus loading the images, anyway. On the other hand, if it fails to recognize one message as spam and you open it, you'll load the images and become a "marked man." (ie, your address will be tagged as one where the spam is opened)
