Mountain Lion: Mail does not display directory when attaching file

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when composing a Mail message and attempting to attach a file, the directory window opens and nothing is displayed. Trying to attach via the paper clip button, not drag & drop. The gear spins continuously but nothing is ever displayed (at least not for the 10 minutes I waited). Doesn't seem to matter which directory is chosen, no files are displayed. Anyone seen this problem? Thanks.

  • TS3276 Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, Mail does not let me send e-mails using Comcast mail server.  Why?

    Why is this?  Comcast's SMTP outgoing mail server is set for my e-mai account but I keep getting an Apple error dialog saying the server can't be used.

    I solved it by going to Comcast's website which had slightly different instructions for setting up an e-mail account than it did 4 years ago when I first set it up.  Comcast's SMTP server always worked notwithstanding many Mac OS and Mail upgrades over those 4 years.  Apparently, with my upgrade to Mountain Lion, something got sideways.
    After following the Comcast instructions, the Comcast SMTP outgoing server now works just fine, as before.

  • Stationary credated in Mail does not appear properly when viewed in Outlook, is there aroundthis?

    Stationary credated in Mail does not appear properly when viewed in Outlook, is there around this? Or, can I export (as a PDF) the email drafted in Mail with stationary that does not have the meail info on top of the page . Thanks so much for your help.

    No real solution to problem 1, stationary tends to look different depending on the client, as for 2 Mail does not export to pdf but can print to pdf, however you still get the mail headers.

  • Os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment

    os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment... are there people who experience the same problem? i was with Apple Support via chat and he could not resolve the problem. I was given a phone number to call, i assume it's tech support for OS X or Mail but I did not have time to be on the phone for a long time... thank you

    I finally fixed it! I verified and repaired disk permissions on my Mac... how come the Apple Tech Guy didn't know that???!!!! Shocking

  • After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

    After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
    The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

    I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
    I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

  • Dreamweaver cs6 does not update links when moving files.

    Dreamweaver cs6 does not update links when moving files. I've tried changing my general > settings for "Update links when moving files" to "prompt", and Ive tried "always". Neither work for me. The files are moved fine, but the links don't change. When it's set to "prompt" - I'm never prompted. Is this a bug or is there another setting somewhere?

  • Sent mail does not display!

    I'm on OS 10.3.9 and using mail 1.3.11 About 3 months ago, all my outgoing sent mail stopped displaying. when I click the sent tab, the list of mails sent will display but when i highlight any of them the contents of the mail isn't there. This is the message I get "The message from <[email protected]> concerning “Fwd: Okay...here you are” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." Ok, I've already contacted everyone else (hosting company, internet provider etc) and everything seems fine on their end. Everyone seems to feel it is my mail client problem. I feel it's very important to have documented records of the mail I've sent and now I've lost that. Please help!!
      Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I'm having this same problem, not only does it not show in sent mail, but the mail isn't actually sent. I have sent a ton of test emails to my self, and none have arrived. I'm a mac novice and I am a bit frustrated!

  • Oops - spry menu bar 2.0 does not display correctly when loaded

    Oops - obviously I'm new at this. I think I got my graphics loaded now.
    Dear Sirs:
    I notice bzz31 had a pretty complicated post, so perhaps someone can help me with my complicated problem that has been vexing me for months. I tried the Spry Menu Bar 1.0, but it was impossible for me to edit, and I was delighted to see Spry Menu Bar 2.0 come out. However the 2.0 version has been frustrating me as well.
    I can get my menu bar to display properly in Live View, as shown below.
    However when I load everything onto the server, the menu bar does not display correctly, as shown below:
    I don't quite understand the code "file:///" but I interpret it to mean that the Spry-UI-1.7 folder is in the topmost folder of MacPro5-Docs, which is my hard drive. Here's the code I'm having trouble with:
    Here's my computer directory, shown below:
    Since my index file is two folders down from Spry-UI-1.7, I loaded the files onto the server similarly, as shown in the next three pictures:
    (The picture below is the same as the one just above, but now you can see the path from index to Spry-UI-1.7.)
    I would be most appreciative if someone can help me.
    Thank you.

    Have a look at the following links
    <script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    Each of the above points to a file on your local system and cannot be found by the remote server.
    Replace the red coloured parts with http://www.twhsbands.org/ will remedy the situation.
    You also have some remnants of the other SpryMenuBar that should be removed from your markup.

    Wel, so much for the red coloured parts, they did not show up.

  • Safari on my account does not display images when you open a picture.

    Hi all the real problem was this...
    The issue was that the wee rubber eye piece around the viewfinder had slipped out of its seat slightly and was covering the sensor for the LCD. I Just checked the rubber eye piece bit  pushed right down till it clipped into place and now not obstructing the LCD sensor as the picture displays both with the LCD auto off enabled or disabled !! simple thing but a massive trap !

  • Mail does not display all lokal mail in folders

    Hi,
    I am using a couple of folders in Mail where I save messages locally. I noticed that some of the filters send mail to a special folder as they should, but the emails do not show up in Mail.

  • Windows Phone 8.1 xaml, c# ComboBox does not display selection when first item is selected from full page list.

    I have 3 comboboxes on a xaml page and most of the time when I select the first item on the full page list displayed when the number of items are > 5, the screen returns to the combobox and the box is blank. The combobox.SelectedItem is valued but it
    does not display.  This does not happen every time and I have seen this using the emulator and my windows 8.1 phone.  If I select any other item in the list they always display but when I go back and select the first item the box is blank. 
    Does anyone know what I could be doing that is causing this?

    Thanks for your help.  When I run the code below and the page is displayed, I select an item from the page list and it displays fine and then I select the first item from the page list and I do not see that selected item in the box. 
    If I remove the SelectedIndex=0 it all works fine except I do not have an item selected for the initial display.  Below should show problem and should work copy/paste in universal blank app.

    Executing a refreshing read all query, based on the required locations, on UnitOfWork A, after UnitOfWorkB has committed will update the vendors within the UnitOfWorkA, including those that may have been added to a location. This is most likely the easiest to implement. For efficiency you may wish to use your Read Only Session to execute the refreshing queries for the Vendors. By performing the query based on the possible Locations you will retrieve all of the available vendors, including those newly added.
    uow.refreshAllObject(collectionOfLocations);
    ..or
    ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(Vendors.class);
    query.refreshIdentityMapResults();
    query.setSelectionCriteria(query.getExpressionBuilder().get("location").equal(location));
    uow.executeQuery(query);

  • Mountain Lion Mail Searching not working (entire search)

    Hello,
    I already searched the web and the topics in this forum, but found no help.
    Since my update from 10.7 to 10.8 (with a clean install and a transition of my user data) the search 'Entire Message' oder 'any' does not work anymore. It shows no results.
    This is very strange since Spotlight is still able to find content inside Mail messages.
    There are some posts for similiar questions suggesting to rebuild either the whole spotlight index or just rebuild the mail index.
    Others suggest to rebuild the mail database by either deleting the files inside the folder of the library or use the menu command in Mail.
    Others suggest to check the rights of the mail folder and its content inside the user's library folder.
    I tried all of this. Nothing helped yet.
    Thanks for help
    carl

    I really tried everything but nothing helped.
    But finally I solved the problem.
    I made a timemachine backup (just for safety reasons).
    Then I installed Mountain Lion again over the existing installation.
    (I used a USB Stick with Mountain Lion to do that.)
    Now everything works great.
