Photos not showing up in Mail

I'm using Mail 4.4. Recently most of the e-mails I receive with embedded photos now show a blue box with a question mark instead of a photo. This has only been happening for a couple of months. Photos added as an attachment can be viewed all right in Quick Look. Does anyone have any idea why or how I can correct it?

This is normally the result of the sender having linked to a photo on a remote server, rather than actually attaching it. Then when it is sent to you, the link does not find the server with image.
More info, please, including analyzing whether the message size could in fact contain the expected image?

  • My Photo Not Showing Up in Messages

    My photo does not show beside my texts in Messages on my Mac. Only a shadow of a generic person in a rectangle is there. I can see the photos of others who write me, though. I have my photo in Contacts and it does show up in Mail, but not in Messages. My photo also shows up in IMessage on the iPad.
    Why is my photo not showing up in Messages and how could I make it visible? Thanks.

    HI,
    Your Pic is set if you have  Buddy list set up/logged in.
    Enable the Bonjour account if you do not have Jabber, AIM or Yahoo IDs set up in Messages.
    Click on the current Buddy Pic.
    You may find it has pulled the Pic from the My Card in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
    In turn this may be picking up on the System Preferences > User and Groups > your account Login pic.
    That is to say when you set up the (Mac User) Account it asked you to create/chose a pic from the Login Screen.
    Later the process of setting up an Accounts asked for details that create the Contacts/Address Book Card  and the Login in pic is dragged across.
    AS you then get to set up Messages (Or iChat) then the My Card pic is pulled through.
    All three spots can be changed independently of each other.
    Some of the Recent Items can be from either of the others.
    This is my Buddy list pic and th "Recents" I have.
    The Zebra and head in "teeth" pics are from some testing I did with Pics in the Contacts > My Card options rather than Messages.
    Finally once you have a pic linked to Messages then it also show up at your end for the Chat window for iMessages (as well as for you in AIM or Jabber)
    NOTE
    In AIM and Jabber (Or Yahoo) your Pic is Broadcast and is what you Buddy sees next to your Name (They can override this though)
    In iMessages though your pic is not sent and your Buddy's Contacts app supplies whatever pic they have for you. (As yours does for them)

  • Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
    Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
    A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
    or
    B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
    Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
    Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
    Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
    Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
    For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
    Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

  • Messages located in sub folders do not show in iPad Mail

    Using iPad mail with Microsoft Exchange sync works great at the inbox level but any messages that are in sub folders do not show up in Mail on the iPad. All of the sub folders show up but do not show messages. In addition, I am not able to collapse the parent folders, the result is a very long list of empty folders. The exception is emails that I move to the folders on the iPad do show up if the folder is selected on the iPad. Looking for solution.

    Has anyone else noticed the following?
    I've synchronized with Exchange and am noticing some odd mail behaviour:
    - I have folders in my PC Outlook inbox
    - when I have mail open on my ipad, and a new message comes in, if I happen to be an a subfolder (example a special folder for messages from my boss or whatever) all the new mail goes to that folder instead of the inbox.
    - even weirder, it stays there when I go back to my PC and Outlook.
    Not very useful long term since I end up with seriously misfiled mail...

  • Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

    slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
    Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

    Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?

  • When pasting from Excell the table border is not showing in Yahoo mail

    Dear Sir/Madam
    I am mis execitive , preparing the reports in Excell and sending it through email. But when i paste something from Ms excell , the table borders lines is not showing in Yahoo mail.
    Please help

    Dear All ,
    Even I got annoyed due to this stupid thing ,
    Let me share you how i worked around this ,
    (1)Once you copied the table from Excel or Open office Calc, to thunderbird mail , It will appear the table with dotted line.
    (2)Now you have to double click in any single cell it will prompt the ‘Table properties’ box .
    (3)Now click on ‘Table ’ tab and under ‘Borders and Spacing’ Section set ‘Border’ ‘1’ instead of ‘0 ‘
    That’s it ... it will show you the border lines of table copied from source file 

  • Double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail

    double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail unless I go to forward or reply. In other words, I may see a couple sentences, then it's just blank, no scroll bar either. This gets annoying. Anybody else get this or know how to overcome this?

    Well, there is no such thing as an AOL type account in Mail. Such an account must be set up as either POP or IMAP. Nevertheless, knowing that the ISP for one of the accounts is AOL is useful because it seems that other people also have this problem with AOL -- see Chuck Coulson's and smackwell's posts in this thread.
    I don't think I'll be able to help you with the AOL account other than telling you to try rebuilding the mailbox -- select the mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu. Have you tried that?
    The problem shouldn't happen with the POP account, however. Do you experience the same problem with it as well?

    Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only  the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
    ...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
    Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

  • Photos not showing on Apple TV

    What reson would there be for some photos not showing in apple TV?
    Ta

    Yes, tried that but all that happened was that my Home Sharing although shown turned on on both Apple TV and iTunes did not allow me to connect to my Library, could access You Tube so WiFi connection O.K.. Tried switching Home Sharing off and then on again on Apple TV but that didn't access my Library so had to go back into iTunes on my Mac and switch off Home Sharing and switch it back on again there which then allowed me access to my Library. This resolved the problem as photos I had just taken were now viewable ( This however has happened before so not a new problem, suspect the router but as I am changing ISP soon, going to BT Infinity, hope that will solve that problem.)

  • Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

    I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

  • Photos not showing edit version in e-mail

    Edits in camera raw not incorporated into e-mailed photos on screen.
    I am using camera raw in bridge 3.0.0.464 and a Imac with operating system OS 10.5.6
    Images print OK from files but when attached to e-mails the version on screen doesn't match previous edits made in Camera Raw.
    BG

    If you've made adjustments that are only kept in metadata, you have to open the file in Photoshop and save a copy first, then mail it. Otherwise, you're just mailing the unadjusted original without the metadata.
