Pictures as file attachments

Hi.
I am a new Mac user and hope this is a simple question for someone to answer. I would like to know how to attach pictures to my email in Mail as files - i.e. not show are pictures in the body of the message, but attach as files the reciever can click on to open.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Vivienne.

I think that the way the files are handled may be more a function of the recipient's mail program than the way they are sent. I know what you are asking, but I don't know if there is any way to prevent the pictures from being shown in the body of the message when the recipient views it.
On second thought, you can create a new folder on your desktop, put your pictures inside it, and then attach this folder to your email message. It worked for me in a quick test. Not sure if it would create any problem for PC recipients. If it does, then you could go to File > Create Archive and then send the archived folder.
Regards,
Steve M.

IPhoto pictures as file attachments in email

Does anyone know how to attach picture files from iPhoto in an email. No matter what I try, the picture gets imbedded in the email instead of as a file attachment. I am new to Apple and Mac having done Windows all my life. Thank you.

If you Control click on the photos you can select Display as Icon. But that only affects your email client and not the recipient's. If the recipient's email client is set to not display photos the photos will show as icons. You don't have control over their client.
The only way to have the photos not be displayed is to export them out of iPhoto and zip/compress them by Control-clicking and selecting the "Compress ..." option.
Click to view full size
The recipient will then download and unzip the file to get the photo files.
Happy Holidays

Control click on the attachment in the body of the email and select 'view as icon'.

File Attachments Temporarily Disabled: Joke? Ha! Ha!

On Feb 22, 2010, File Attachments were disabled... with the caveat that it was temporary. That 'Temporarily' now seems to be a joke... at whose expense i wonder...
Because, today, many moons and even more suns later ( i refuse to count), it still remains disabled...

Hi Claudio
I only have the status of Community Professional and Moderator helper because I've been a tireless forums supporter since long before Adobe entered my world. In other words, I'm basically a simple user same as you. I'm a total volunteer that freely shares my time and I do not receive a paycheck from Adobe. Only recognition for being helpful to others. The forums activity for Jive only paint a partial picture because I've been through about six different incarnations of assorted forums software. Some I liked and some I didn't. But it's what we have to work with.
So please do tell us of your vast experience supporting forums that support a hundred or so products, thousands of users and probably spanning numerous servers. Obviously you seem to feel that you know much better than the folks at Adobe how things should be run. Personally I do not envy the position of Adobe and the folks that are responsible for maintenance of our community. They probably have Adobe management on one side screaming that they need to cut costs while they have the user community on the other telling them how bad things are with the community and the forums.
I never claimed things were perfect. All I did was state the facts as I see them. And the facts are that (pay close attention to this because it seems lost for so many) in the areas where I particpate we didn't see the world ending as some would like to paint the picture. Nobody left in disgust because the house was painted a different color and the room arrangement was different. The forums have shortcomings for sure. I openly said that all software has bugs. I meant the forums were no exception to this because they are software. I'm not saying this holds true for all forums. Only the ones where I participate. I've seen similar reports from other forum moderators here.
As for FAQs, I myself have created FAQs for my own fora and can attest that the majority of users simply ignore them. So even if they exist, you STILL end up answering many basic questions day after day from new users. Such is the nature of forums support. The way you get used to it is by remembering that we all are new to things and need help. So we create FAQs and hope for the best.
Basically you are saying that the forums simply aren't worth visiting. So this begs the following question. I will note that everyone has their own reasons for doing so and by asking you this please note that I'm in no way suggesting you should consider leaving. I'm genuinely interested to know what it is that keeps folks such as yourself and Phillip visiting day after day if you honestly feel the forums have nothing left to offer.
Cheers... Rick

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Adobe forms with file attachments

Hello,
I want to use file attachments in my offline adobe forms. I have found some articles about how to do that but it was all related to webdynpro which i'm not using for this scenario.
Does anyone know how to do that in plain ABAP?
Many thanks in advance for your help!

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
Windows Computer

1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
'''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

How do I get my Mac computer to stop asking me to autheticate every time i try to drag a picture or file into my Macintosh HD?

ever since i updated my computer it won't allow me to drag pictures or files in with out saying that i can't put the file in Mactintosh hd because it hasn't been motified and it asks me to authenticate and then i have to put my password. It's annoying to have to do this for every file!!! Please help!!!!

OK, thanks. You must have an Intel iMac then. This was in the PPC forum so I wanted to be sure.
Normally it is not a good idea to drag anything directly to the Macintosh HD icon. Try dragging the photos to directly to the iPhoto icon in the Dock which will then properly import them into your iPhoto Library. You can also drag them to your your Documents folder, or almost anywhere else, but if you want to view them in iPhoto you will need to import them anyway.
The authentication request you are getting is probably normal, since you ought not to put files where you are trying to put them. It won't hurt anything to do what you're doing but it will just make organization difficult for you.
Try that. If you are still having problems I will let you know how to fix it.

So you want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Viewing Excel & PDF file attachments in Mac Mail 3.6

I setup my IMAP Gmail account on my Macbook's Mail 3.6. In the advanced tab of my Gmail account preferences in Mail 3.6 under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:" I have selected "All messages and their attachments"
Whenever I click on an Excel attachment, I get the error message "'filename' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."
Whenever I click on a PDF attachment, I get the error message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I then tried saving the attachments from Mail 3.6 to my hard drive, but received the same error messages when I tried to open them.
However, when I access my Gmail account using my browser and download the same attachments to my hard drive, they open up without any problems.
I have deleted the folder containing the emails containing the attachments from Mail 3.6 and re-synced it with Gmail. While it successfully completes the download of all of the messages and their attachments, the same problem occurs. Oddly enough, this problem does not occur with Word Document attachments or JPEG file attachments.
This is my first Mac and while I am extremely proficient with Windows, I am clueless with Mac OS X. I have read posts about AppleDouble and Compression, but can't seem to find those options to play around with, even though I do not think that either is the issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

Sijmons,
well, I didn' got confused but only wanted to help you with your Altzheimer
Geeborg,
I used to .Mac webmail with Firefox on Windows and opened a message with an attachment (mpg). I clicked on the small triangle behind the word "Attachments" and then I clicked on the name of the attachment. This opened a window stating that the attachment would be downloaded. After some time I was asked to open the file with application xyz (I don't remember the name) or to save it on disk. Choosing to open the file finally launched Windows Media Player which played the mpg.
Can you try these steps on one of your attachments?

File Attachments are blank - PDF IO Exception

Hi Everyone,
I have a Web Dynpro Java Application form that when submitted generates an Adobe Interactive form along with any attachments and starts a guided procedure. Today I'm experiencing a random error (see below), if I preview the Adobe form before the workflow starts then the attachments seems fine (correct size) but once submitted the first approver will get a null pointer exception and the file attachments appear blank. I've used the same data over and over again but it only happens randomly. I can't replicate it in my DEV or TEST to be able to debug nor can I find the cause. Anyone know what this error is?

How to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?

Does anyone know how to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?
Eudora, Foxmail and many other email programs allow you to simply click file attachment, open it, edit it, and FORWARD it to others.
This is extremely difficult with Mail because it forces every single incoming file attachment to be READ-ONLY which means you are forced to re-save a copy in a folder then after editing it you need to spend time to fish it out of the folder, reattach it and then forward to others. It is a huge time wasting headache not to mention polluting your system with extra copies of files.
Thanks

I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.

Viewing File Attachments in a Portfolio

Hi,
Asus Transformer TF101 running 4.0.3
Workstation: Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Tablet: Adobe Reader X (v10.2.0 J)
So I made a portfolio on my workstation with two pdf files.
In one of the portfolio files I added a file attachment by Opening File>Comment>Attach File.
Saved file and saved portfolio.
Open in Reader X on my workstation - no problems - selecting paperclip opens attached file.
However, when I save to my tablet and open portfolio and file I see the paperclip icon but attachment doesn't open on click.
Any idea why? Do I need make portfolio in Adobe Acrobat Pro X rather than 9 to make this work.
Recent announcement for Reader X says this should work - in fact has been out since 10.1.1: "Enhancements to Portfolios list and File Attachments on iOS: You can now view non-PDF children in PDF portfolios, and PDF File attachments on the iOS Reader. These capabilities already exist on Android since Reader 10.1.1"
Any help is appreciated - Thanks,
Muns

Anyone with info on this ? I have just ran into this problem myself, hard to believe there isn't a way to fix this .
