Problems attaching photos using hotmail, also cannot update plug-ins

i used to be able to attach many photos to my hotmail emails.
i always reduce the size of the pics so i can attach 20 or more... now it will only attach 1, maximum 2 images.
i was told that i may need to update my plug-ins but when i go to firefox's Plug-In Check page it will not load, saying that it cannot find the server.. however my internet connection totally fine..
what do i do to fix these 2 problems??

Plugins are used from the Operating System, but Firefox often attempts to show them and to check them.
#First of all use the firefox menu to ensure your plugins are all enabled.
# then use [/plugincheck]<br/> that will sometimes show an old Java as disabled for safety reasons, but then includes an update link <br/> note the page scrolls and provides general information and further instructions
Presumably you already have a firewall and other security software, you may need to check whether they block downloads or updates.

    Hi, sallymaesmag. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are in the Philippines, check to see if the country is changed in the iTunes Store settings on the iOS device.  These steps will show you how to change the preference.
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. TapSettings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

  • Can't ck for updated plug-ins. Firefox just circles endlessly.

    can't access msn jigsaw puzzles. Wanted to check for updated plug-ins. Fox circles endlessly for up to 2 mins., never connects.

    The instructions are not contradictory, since you reported two different issues:
    ''AliceWyman [[#answer-688813|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Your '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin may be disabled in the Firefox Add-ons Manager Plugins list, since I don't see it in your list of plugins. <sub>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130896 Bug 1130896] - Plugin check gets stuck if Java runtime disabled and Java Deployment toolkit enabled.</sub>
    To enable the Java plugin, see the article, [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]] under [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-java-plugin-to-view-interactive-content#w_enabling-java Enabling Java]. That article also explains how to update Java, if your version is outdated.
    </blockquote>
    I wrote that because you said you ''can't access msn jigsaw puzzles'' but you didn't give a link to that problem website. I was assuming the problem site needs the '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin (which is DIFFERENT from the "java deployment toolkit" plugin) to be enabled and working. If the '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin is outdated and vulnerable you need to update it. The article I linked above has more information.
    ''philipp [[#answer-688807|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    hello donnaofmaryland, please try the following: go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > plugins, set the "java deployment toolkit" to never activate and then try to use the plugincheck page again...
    </blockquote>
    This advice was to get the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check] page working. Only thing, I just tried that page and it isn't working at all for me. The PluginCheck website could be having problems. You can also update Java by going to java.com directly or you can use the Update option in the Java Control Panel (details in the article [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]] which I linked to before).

  • Cannot find "Plug-ins" folder for Photoshop CS6 on my Mac.

    I cannot find ”Plug-ins" folder for Photoshop CS6 on my Mac. Path suppose to be Macintosh HD > Applications 
> Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Plug-Ins but that folder is missing. Any suggestion on how to find it?

    Thank you Hans,
    If I understand it correctly, way to install extensions/plugins on Mac is
    following
    "Quit Photoshop, then copy the desired plug-ins (or extensions) to the
    following locations:
    Mac OS:
       - Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Plug-ins folder
       - Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder"
    In my case it would be the last path, as I have CS6.
    However, my problem is that Plug-ins folder is missing

  • Get Plugin Finding Service Error for weeks & weeks now - can't update plug-ins, need download .pdf doc, but says adobe unstable, plug-in needs update. now what

    Want to download .pdf doc, but pop-up says it's unstable, need update plug-in. Tried to update, got error message, with "try later". Same for weeks now. Tried check for updates, Firefox is up to date, clicked update plug-ins... it tries, then again... same error message: "Plugin Finding Service Error. Please try again later".
    Been so long now -- when becomes a mighty big question. Looked in forum, no joy.
    Please, can someone tell me -- what's the go. I'm absolutely no good with computers, but this needs to get fixed. Should I stop using Firefox or what?
    Thanks for your help.
    Happy 2013 to all.
    PS. (added a couple days later)
    I'm told I should have added my next question in reply to TylerDowner here, instead of as I did. Sorry if that's so (really?) but I didn't even realize I could edit this.
    So... TylerDowner, thanks very much for your reply, and please would you -- or anyone else who might be able to help -- see my first reply to you below. (seems a waste to slot in here again)
    Feelin even dumber, (ha-ha)
    raaraa

    Tylerdowner -- >> thank you << for your reply, and my sincere apologies for this delayed response (probs, hospital, blah-blah, you don't want to know).
    Have tried to download via that link but not sure if successful. Very slow dial-up connection is the pits. Waited hours 'n hours, fell asleep in chair even, finally had to give in and go to bed, left it going. Server does time out every 8-12 hours, so not sure how long it went. The download appeared complete -- ie, did not show any note of failure. Not sure if it would -- some things in the past haven't.
    Anyway, had success downloading one much older .pdf file, but the link for one I wanted had expired, and I don't know anything else to try. Tried a couple of other links I have, not sure of age of file -- on clicking link, the browser opened, but nothing more happened.
    Wondering -- is the download available in separate pieces instead of one big one? Perhaps worth trying again that way?
    Please, if you would be forgiving, and persist with me a little further/longer -- would you make your recommendation/s for next step/s please?
    Hope you're in a safe, comfortable place. So many places in the world suffering with extremes of all kinds.

  • Updating plug-ins, about reaearching.

    I know virtually nothing about how to manage/update plug-ins, I have several that say 'research' But when I research, it's so complicated I just don't understand what to do next, Help....
    I am using Windows XP Pro 32 bit V 3.0

    Firefox may pick up plugins that actually are not important to you, because Firefox picks them up from the Windows registry where external programs can freely list them. So... if you discover plugins with no known value, you might consider disabling them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    That probably will reduce your research burden.
    Generally speaking, if a plugin is associated with another program, then you can keep the plugin up-to-date by updating that program. Adobe Reader and iTunes would be examples of that.
    If there are plugins you're really curious about, you could post more information about those. On my test page, there is a list of your currently active plugins that you can copy and paste: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp

  • After Automatic Software Update I Can't Attach Photos in Hotmail via Safari

    Suddenly after my iMac update the software on my computer, I suddenly can't attach any photos in Hotmail when I launch Safari.
    I have been a Hotmail user for 10 years now and never have had this problem before. This has been my primary account for these years and I don't want to start another email account with a different carrier.
    In the middle of uploading on every attachment, I get an error saying "There was a problem adding this file to the message" The files are not too large or the wrong file type.
    I am using Safari 5.0.2 and Mac OS C 10.6.4
    I am frustrated by this.
    Can someone please help me
    THANKS SO MUCH

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Quit Safari (Command + Q) Relaunch Safari and try attaching a photo to Hotmail.
    If that doesn't help, open a Finder window select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder.
    Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    If that didn't help either, quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try an attachment again. If it works, then move that .plist file to the Trash.
    Check Safari / Preferences - Security to make sure you either have: Always accept cookies or *Only from sites I visit* selected.
    You've had similar issues with Hotmail in the past. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11580566#11580566
    I don't want to start another email account with a different carrier
    At some point, you may want to consider switching to Mac Mail instead of using web based mail written by Microsoft as they may not always support the Safari browser.

  • E-mailing photos using Hotmail

    I recently purchased a Macbook and am not able to e-mail my photos using Hot Mail. Every time I compose a new Hot Mail message, I click on Attach and it goes to Photos. Unfortunately, when I attempt to scroll through the pictures and make a selection, I get the dreaded "pinwheel of death" and have to force close. Is the only workaround to either e-mail directly from I-photo or save the photos to my desktop. This doesn't seem very user friendly and one of the reasons I got a Mac was to avoid a lot of the hassles I had as a pc user.

    Hotmail is a Mail service. It's pretty basic and has been around for years. It's not a application You are using a Web Browser such as Safari or Firefox to access Hotmail, right?
    Try download and re-install the iLife 9.0.3 update from here

    and repair permissions.

  • Can not attach photos using Yahoo email account

    I am new to the Mac OPS and maybe it is just something that I do not know, but why can't I attach photos to an email using my Yahoo email account? I have read the way to change the preference of email providers, ie: entourage or mac mail. But I have neither accounts. I was just wondering if there was a way to do this, or if the program could be updated so that it could be possible.

    Yahoo email is a service not an application. If you have the Pro version of this service then you can set it to work with one of the applications in the iPhoto preferences. Otherwise you'll need to use one of these:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Bought used macbook pro, cannot update.

    I bought a used macbook pro but I can't update. It says I have 2 updates. When I try to update, I ckick update and the original owner's email address pops up but will not let me change to my email address and password. I tried downloading os x mavericks. It took 2 hours to download. I restarted the computer and the original owner's name is still popping up asking for their password. HELP! I have tried everything

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot remove the update notification. The only solution would be to remove those apps and do not install them anymore unless you buy them with your Apple ID.
    If the apps you cannot update are iPhoto, iMovie and/or GarageBand, you should know that the first owner did not do things properly, because that could be solved simply by deauthorizing your Mac from the old owner's Apple ID. After doing that, you would be able to register the apps with your Apple ID and update them free of charge. If this is your case, contact with the old owner and tell him/her to contact with Apple to deauthorize the Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If the apps that require the update are other ones, remove them. You are not allowed to run them, so if you want to run them, buy them with your Apple ID
