Problems attaching files to e-mails

After installing Lyon, from my wife's user she can't attach files to an e-mail. The window opens but only shows folders and the folders can not be opened. I can do it from my user. What could be happening?

This could be a hardware problem, or it could be software problem.
First... Get a full backup of your disks by booting from the DVD and using Disk Utility to copy the data to an external storage device, on the off change the disk or memory or server is failing; don't lose ground here, and try to avoid losing data. Always, always, always have a good backup before you start hardware or software repairs.
As Christoph recommends, do check the logs. Rather than looking at the directories directly, I'd suggest doing this using the Console.app tool (as that's easier than rummaging in /var/log, if you're not already comfortable in the command shell) and see if there are any relevant errors being reported.
It appears this box is critical, and doesn't have a backup, or spare parts, or local available support. I'd expect there are folks in the Denver area that can visit the site and sort out the hardware or software trigger, if your coworkers aren't in a position to assist here.
If the box is under AppleCare, I'd plan for a trip to get the box looked at and potentially repaired.
If the box is not under AppleCare, I'd look for a spare disk. Or better (but more expensive), acquire (or bring along?) a spare Mac Mini (Server?) and probably either used or off eBay or such, as you'll want to have a spare for any potential hardware failure. (It's better to have two of the same, and newer Mac Mini (Server?) boxes will arrive with (and require) Lion (Server?) and not 10.6.8.
Usual path for a recovery here is an external backup (via booting the DVD and using Disk Utility to get that copy, and preferably a couple of external, full, current, copies of the data) and using the "migrate" option after a wipe and reinstallation, to bring a copy of the disk data back in.

Trouble attaching files to e-mail

This just started happening and I'm not sure what I installed or did to cause it. In any browser - Safari, Firefox, Explorer - I can't attach a document. I'm using SBC Yahoo and their tech support said it was a problem with my computer.
When I choose a file to attach, it shows up, but when I click "attach", the browser tells me there was an error, no files are attached. I turned off my firewall but can't think of any other reason my files won't attach. I have no problems attaching files to my AOL mail but I don't always use AOL and sometimes need to use my SBC address.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem with my verizon business webmail...Safari won't attach files...The old version of Firefox worked fine (Firefox 1.5 doesn't work at all, so now I'm without the ability to attach files altogether)...Need to find the fix for Safari...

Safari 5.0 freezes after attaching files in Yahoo Mail

Since upgrading to Safari 5, I cannot use Yahoo mail after attaching a file to a message. The program acts like there is a dialog box open and it is waiting for a choice to be made, but there is no dialog box.

I am having problems attaching files to my email using the latest Firefox 13.0.1, Comcast is my internet provider, but I did not have problem with Safari.

Why am I having problems attaching files to my email using Firefox 13.0.1.?
I am using a MAC, OS 10.6.8, and have Comcast as my internet provider. I noticed after I upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 that I am having problems attaching files to my email. I do not experience the same problem with Safari, but I prefer to use Firefox, as all of my bookmarks and passwords are saved there. I just like the way Firefox works better than Safari.
I am a free-lance graphic designer and rely on my internet connection to my customers. I need this resolved ASAP!

Could you start by resetting the zoom level on the page? To do that, you can either:
* Press Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) on the keyboard
* View menu > Zoom > Reset
You also can use zoom to increase/decrease the size from there. This article describes the various mouse, keyboard, and menu methods: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].
Any luck?

Problems attaching files in gmail in Safari

I use Safari v 3.1.2 and have had consistent trouble attaching files to email messages in Gmail. I turned off rich text formatting and now compose in plain text, but that hasn't solved the problem. Sometimes a workaround is to attach the file before typing anything in a clean email message, but this isn't a guaranteed fix. If I reply to all or try to attach after composing something, Gmail hangs on "still working..." I have absolutely no problems attaching files in Firefox. Others I know who use Safari and Gmail complain about the same problem. I don't know whether this is Apple's or Google's wrongdoing but the problem is extremely annoying and I'm wondering if anyone has a fix. Thank you very much.

Hi Michael,
One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try and download something in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)
Does the page appear to refresh itself when you click on a link? If it does you might have an incompatible version of SpeedDownload installed.

Alignment problem in sending an attachment file as a mail

Hi,
My requirement is to send a mail where i have the data in an internal table.
the .txt attachment file is sent properly no problem in that. But the text inside the file is not alligned properly.
For eg if i have 5 records in the internal table which iam going to send as an attachment then 5 lines should exist on the attachment file.
But for me what happens is
for eg the first two records in the internal table is like as follows.
record 1 : my name is rose
record 2 : iam working in SAP ABAP consultant.
These lines are coming in the attachment file like
line 1: ame is rose (some spaces are given then it prints) my n
line 2: n SAP ABAP consultant (some spaces are given then it prints) iam working i
can anyone tell me why this happens . i want the lines to be displayed as it is in the internal table.
can anyone tell how to solve this problem. Thanks...
Regards,
rose.

In Firefox, can't attach files to Yahoo Mail outgoing messages. Yahoo Mail works fine in Internet Explorer though.

Since yesterday, when I switched from Comcast to AT&T as my broadband internet connection, I have not been able to attach files to my Yahoo mail messages using Mozilla Firefox. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer, but my default browser is Firefox by choice. Is this a Yahoo issue or a Firefox issue? Can you help me resolve it?

Not helpful. 'clearing Firefox's cache' is not helpful, since 'cache' doesn't show up in any of the Firefox pulldown menu choices (wasted time looking for that), and the plethora of things 'recent' and 'history' to choose to act on in these menus is also a possible waste of time, not to mention removing useful info for no reason.
I, too, have had this problem 'intermittently' for many months, always involving the 'first' file to attach in a Yahoo! email, and I've always used this workaround OK: click on the filename showing as 'being attached' (while Yahoo's doohickey round spinner denoting 'in progress' whirls and whirls to no effect) and use "Remove File"; THEN, REPEAT 'attach file' task & it then works, if slowly. After that for the same email, attaching add'l files NEVER HAS A PROBLEM.
SO, now today, without any software update yet (I've downloaded Firefox v.11 & will install shortly), at numerous attempts during the day, I CANNOT get the FIRST file to attach in a Yahoo! email. Simply, utterly, frustrating without any rhyme or reason. "Everything else, on plethora of sites, working fine."
thanks.

Attached file in receiver mail scenario and ConvertCRLFfromToLF

Hi,
I have a problem attaching a text file in a receiver mail channel.
I use mail package, and I've created a UDF to create field content with:
for (int j=0;j<a.length;j++)
b = b + a[j] + "\n" ;
result.addValue(b);
In my receiver CC, I have configurated:
SAP XI Sample/ConvertCRLFfromToLF
mode --> LFtoCRLF
But when I open file attached by mail, it has only one line and line feed it's not correct.
How to insert correctly CR LF ?
Thanks,
cARME

I need CRLF at the end of every line in text file (windows end line).
I have tried
1) inserting \r\n t in the UDF and no module in CC. With this I see 0A 0A at the end of every line (it would be 0D 0)
2) inserting \n in the UDF and use module in CC to convert LF into CRLF. With this I see 0A at the end of every line.
How to do it?
Thanks,
Carme

Cant attach files using yahoo mail

When I attempt to attach a file in yahoo mail i get an error message. I can attach the files if I use Firefox

The problem is Safari 6...it's buggy and wouldn't allow me to attach any file types to a yahoo email note. I downloaded Chrome and everything works fine. This is my first Apple machine and I have to say I'm disappointed in their Safari browser. The sales guy said I was "purchasing an elegent system that would work right out of the box", I didn't anticipate having to do work-around solutions on day one. What a joke.

Having problems attaching files.

When I open a file on my iPhone and try to send it in an email it doesn't work. When it take me to the email and I have to enter in the address to send the email it appears to be attached but once sent and opened by the sender there is no attachment. Also when I send emails from other apps like that instead of the email just being sent it goes to my out box so I then have to leave whatever app I'm working in go to the iPhone mail app and go to my out box and send the email. I thought this was normal untill I cheched on my wife's phone and realized hers does not send her emails to the out box and on her phone I can attach file to emails. And when opened the attachment is there. Has any one else had this problem or have any idea how to fix it.

After looking into this a bit more I discovered that the problem only exist with my google email. Is this something apple did to make it harder on gmail users, or is this not a normal problem. Has anyone else had troubles attaching files to thier gmail account.

Can not attach file to g-mail

Latley I am not able to attach files in my G-mail. There are small Word files. Everytime I try it, finder freezes. My 8 year old Thinkpad is faster than my Macbook Air!

You are mostly misinterpreting the problem (and 'view as icon' will only mask the 'solution').
You see, what you are experiencing is a facet of your email application.
What other users see will be a facet of their email application.
To explain, if you're using Mail.app you should be aware that Mail.app can interpret and display a wide variety of file formats - images, PDF, video, etc., etc.
When you 'attach' such a file to a message Mail.app, by default, displays the content since this is what most people want. You have the option to just display an icon, but that's only really relevant for you.
When the recipient gets the message what they see depends upon their client. If their client can interpret and render file attachments then they'll see the image. If it can't, they'll see an attachment link.
Moreover, you have no control over this. It is entirely dependent on the mail client you are using, and the mail client the recipient is using. Even if you attach a file and 'view as icon', that has no bearing on whether it will appear as an icon or an inline document when it gets to the recipient - that's up to their browser abilities/settings (just like attaching as an image won't display as an image on the recipient's system if they can't display the file format, or their preferences are set to not do so).
So knock yourself out viewing your attachments as icons, but don't expect that it will make any difference to the recipient.
The only way you can overcome this is to send attachments in a file format that can't normally be displayed, such as a .zip archive.

Attaching files to e-mails

I am using Safari to access my e-mail account at Yahoo. I sometimes cannot send our e-mails that have attachments. A message from Yahoo advises that I remove the attached files and try again. I've removed the attached files and reattached them but still can not send out the e-mail with the attached files. Anyone have this problem? Help!

I am having the same problem trying to attach Filemaker Pro files to an email. No solution yet. It was suggested I use Internet Explorer. It did allow me to attach the file, but I have not yet heard from the receiver.

Suddenly, I cannot attach files to MobileMe mail

I always use Mozilla Firefox to access MobileMe. Suddenly I find out that I cannot attach files to my MobileMe mail. Please let me know how to fix this.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
