My mac won't let me send attachments through gmail

I don't know whether it's because i'm sending a pages document or if it's something to do with gmail? I'm really stuck

Welcome to Apple DIscussions
Three possible work arounds:
Try using Stuffit to compress the file before trying to attach to a Gmail message.
Save a .pages document as a Word document, using the File-> Export to -> Word in Pages.  This converted document can be emailed with no problems.  The recipient can easily open the document in Pages or in Word. Can do the same with Numbers to Excel.
Do Print - save as PDF and email the PDF file (but then it's locked).

  • Safari won't let me send attachments

    I'm trying to send an attachment with my .mac account on Safari and when I select an attachment it fails to upload and instead I get this response:
    Safari can’t open the page.
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Webmail.woa/259/wo/dbCAtbFg24gGHxlSkfNJA0/3.0.9.25 ”. The error was: “POSIX error: Invalid argument” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:22) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    Any Ideas what I can do to correct this. This seems to be a new problem as I have been able to send attachments in th past.

    Hi Glen,
    Check you are allowed to make changes to your Safari cache folder..
    ~/Library/Caches/Safari/
    Perform a 'Get Info' (Cmd+I) on the listed folder in Finder and check to make sure that it isn't locked, and that you have write privileges.

    Won't let me send a report to Apple Support.

    Was this like a black curtain slowly descending with the message in several languages?
    That would be a kernel panic and there is no automatic report. (You would be able to find the panic log in Console though). Here is some information about kernel panics:

  • Safari is crashing and not letting me send attachments at all

    I have a brand new macbook. It has Safari 2.0.4 and I'm having issues. I've never used a mac before, and am loosing my mind!
    First I've tried sending an attachment from my free trial of Pages via aol, yahoo, and hotmail, and none will work. So I'm assuming the email provider isn't where the issue lies since I tried three different ones. When I'm trying to send the attachment via aol, I can attach it, but when I hit send it won't send! And if I try using yahoo or hotmail, it'll let me pick the file, but when I try to actually attach it, safari won't open the page and says there's an error. It's been doing this for two days. I'm just trying to send a simple resume that has nothing but text. (however I tried sending a picture to see if it would work, and it won't send that either)
    And now when I'm trying to send a letter on myspace (don't judge!), safari completely crashes. I read something about safari 2 crashing more often than safari 3? I don't know anything about the programs related to mac, so I'm completely lost. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

    I was just able to send a picture via yahoo as an attachment, but it still won't let me send a document from pages. it says,
    Safari can’t open the page “http://attach.mud.mail.yahoo.com/us.f448.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Attachments?YY=5050&y 5beta=yes&ymv=0&y5beta=yes”.

  • Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week, and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password.

    Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week and the shop didn't update it back to Mavricks which I had previously done...and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password entered. It just spins like I'm logging in and then goes back to the user log in screen.  I did the process where I restarted and pressed control S and created a new user and password, but once created same issue and can't get passed that screen.
    Super frustrated and any help is appreciated!

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

    TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

  • I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

    I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

    What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on.  If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct.  If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
    Hope this helps!

  • HT5312 I have two rescue email addresses but it won't let me send a rescue email, and I've forgotten my security questions! Please help!

    So, I've been trying to access my account to purchase a song, and I had to answer my security questions. Well, I haven't answered them in like a year or so, and I forgot the answers, and it won't let me send a rescue email though I have two verified rescue email addresses. .-. Pease help!

    Use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article; if you didn't previously set up a valid rescue email address, which isn't the same as an alternate email address, only Apple itself can assist with recovering lost answers.

  • Camera button on 4s won't let me send pic in a message

    4s camera button- won't let me send a picture with a message

    Sounds like an issue with your carrier.  You might check with them to see if they're having problems with MMS.  You could always try resetting the phone if your haven't already but it's a long shot (hold on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo, release and wait for the phone to restart).  Good luck!

  • Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not

    Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not. There are hundreds of what it thinks are duplicates. How can I get it to let me put them all into a folder and create unique names? If I do one file at a time, it gives me the option to keep both files. But not when I am moving hundreds at a time.

    A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
    I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.

  • I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?
