Problems uploading files to various web browsers
I'm having huge problems with uploading files to various browsers on my MacBook Pro (running Mac Lion OS X 10.7.5)
My default web browser is Google Chrome but I have tried Firefox, Safari and Mail, too, and they're all presenting the same problem.
The problem is that whenever I try to attach a document to an email in Gmail or upload a photo/file to any website - it just doesn't play ball. The web browser then becomes totally unresponsive (not loading new tabs etc.) and I have to Force Quit and start the application running again. When I tried this in Mail, the application actually crashed.
I've figured out a way to get round the problem in Gmail - creating documents in Google Drive or simply dragging documents into the email - but I'm starting an online course soon and I really need to be able to upload documents, files, images etc.
So far I have tried:
Updating the software on my Mac
Updating Google Chrome
Uninstalling and reinstalling Google Chrome
Signing in and out of Google Chrome
Deleting all browser history on Google Chrome
I've also figured out that it's not my firewall as I had an unrelated problem with that and it was taken down for around 24 hours to be fixed - I tried again to upload files in this 24 hour window and encountered the same problems.
I'm also having problems with my Windows for Mac - whenever I try to Save or Save As in Word - the programme becomes completely unresponsive, parts of the toolbars at the top white out and I have to Force Quit - hence, why I started using Google Drive to create documents. When I try and Save or Save As in Excel or Powerpoint, these programmes crash too.
I don't know if these problems are related, but I thought it best to bring it up just in case.
Can anyone help me?!
In answer to my own question, in case anyone has the same issue, the problem turned out to be that my hard drive is failing.
If anyone has the same problem, back up all your data to an external device immediately (trying to run a computer on a failing hard drive is like trying to run on a broken leg, so I'm told) and take your mac to get a new hard drive - should cost around £100.

I'm having a big problem trying to upload files - whether it is as an email attachment or homework for and online class. I get to the file I want to attach, and the ‘choose’ button does not become clickable, and then the entire web browser freezes up. The only thing to do then is to force quit and try again, but it never works. My dad bought a MacBook at the same time I did and he has no problem uploading files. Does anyone have any suggestions? It will be quite annoying if I have to transfer all of my documents on a flash drive to another computer every time I need to upload something. Thanks in advance!
MacBookWelcome to Apple Discussions!
The variety of uploading tools can be a bit daunting, and the design of websites that allow for uploading can also be. Ideally a website can be set to have a common FTP server that everyone can upload to with a standard FTP program such as http://www.rbrowser.com/ or http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/
If it is a website with a choose file from hard drive type setup, it may be the code of the website is poorly designed for specific browsers as my FAQ here explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/browser.html
As for sending e-mail, if you are sending e-mail to Windows users, use the attachment toolbar button in Apple's Mac OS X Mail by first making sure it is there in the View menu -> Customize Toolbar, and you'll find in the dialog to choose documents a checkbox for Send Windows Friendly Attachments.
If you are connecting a server with Appleshare or NTFS drives that's whole different issue which may have to deal with firewall ports.
So the real question is, what method are you using to send files to other people, and what operating system do the other people have? -
Issue with permissions to upload files into Apache web server to OS 10.8.2
Hello everyone;
I setted up Apache web server and mysql to OS 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. It's working fine except for the permissions. I can't upload files into the web site directory. Doesn't recognize, e.g., the PHP function "move_uploaded".
One problem for my is that I can't modify the permissions by "Terminal" app since it telling me that the "Process completed" and I can't write any script.
Any suggestion will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.My only question now would be how to speed up Safari's 6.0.1 performance in 10.8.2 or do I just accept that it's a little slower than it was, which is fine. Are other folks having this issue?
I was primarily passing along info about my particular download speed and for the Web Confidential 3.8 people: make a backup of your passwords b4 installing 10.8.2 or be prepared to upgrade. -
Problem uploading files from Dreamweaver CS3 to Yahoo
I am having a problem uploading files from Dreamweaver CS3 to
an FTP site on Yahoo.
The error message I get is "No response from server.

I am able to connect to Yahoo using other FTP clients
successfully.
I am able to connect to Yahoo using Dreamweaver MX 2004

I tried playing with various settings (i.e. passive ftp,

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Dear All,
My firefox (version 23 on win 7) crashed when upload file on our internal web based application. This happen on two PC, even in firefox safe mode the problem still exist. So, my first conclusion the problem nothing to do with extension. here the crash ID https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/81220865-36c0-4e10-a484-6d27e2131023 and https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/86d2b779-9730-4d2c-b276-a86d42131023. I wonder if this happen because jquery modul in our web based application. But when I tried on my laptop, the problem dissapear. I tried to replicate same situation on different server, I mean I put the exact same application source to other server, never meet the same problem. Thus, I suspect may be it related to antivirus that installed in our network which is kaspersky. I am googling, never meet the clue.
If you meet the same problem, please help me.
I am so sorry for my poor english.
Him HimThe crashes are a problem with the winhadnt.dll file (OCular Agent from TEC Solutions Limited) as you can see in the crash reports.

Itunes Producer Problems Uploading - File not saving - file does not Exist.
Can someone please help me out, this problem is killing me. I've uploaded over 200 UPC Albums using Old G3 and Elderly ITunes Producer, but apple asked me to upgrade, so new machine to me Macmini maverics 10.9.? ITunes Producer 3.1.
So I click open ITunes producer 3.1. Click on make project from Audio
Files. Name and Save the project in Music-ITunes Producer-Playlists.
Plug in my external Flash drive and import the 40 Audio files for the
project. I am using an external flash drive as I can’t get ITunes Producer to
see my internal hard disk, I do not know if this is normal??
Go through the process of saving the project to Music – ITunes Producer –
Playlists – in this case 5060101121313
I then go through name all Tracks and make sure that all Data is correct.
Then when I finally go to either save the document or send it to you I get the
first Screen shot saying
"The Document "5060101121313" COULD NOT BE SAVED. The File does not exist".
As I say I have delivered 200 UPC’s to you with the old software and never
had any problems, I am in urgent need of making significant delivery to you so
would appreciate you help ASAP.

Problem uploading file from mobile device to tomcat server
Hi guys, here's how it goes.
I'm designing a site using JSP for wireless devices like PDAs, Smartphones etc, basically any mobile device that has browser capabilities. There's a page where the user is allowed to upload a file from the mobile device, which works perfectly fine when I access the site using a PC. But when I try to upload a file from a mobile device, ( I tried using a Nokia 6680 ) , there wasn't any error but the file just wasn't stored in my server.
Here's how the upload form looks like :
<FORM name="filesForm" action="ProcessFileUpload.jsp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<font size="1" face="arial">File :</font><br>
<input type="file" name="file1" size="10" style="font-size: 9px;"/><br><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload Files" style="font-size: 9px;"/>
</FORM>Here's the gist of ProcessFileUpload.jsp:
<%
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Content Type ="+request.getContentType());
DiskFileUpload fu = new DiskFileUpload();
// If file size exceeds, a FileUploadException will be thrown
fu.setSizeMax(1000000);
List fileItems = fu.parseRequest(request);
Iterator itr = fileItems.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()) {
FileItem fi = (FileItem)itr.next();
//Check if not form field so as to only handle the file inputs
//else condition handles the submit button input
if(!fi.isFormField()) {
System.out.println("NAME: "+fi.getName());
System.out.println("SIZE: "+fi.getSize());
System.out.println(fi.getOutputStream().toString());
// File fNew= new File(application.getRealPath("/"), fi.getName());
File tempFileRef = new File(fi.getName());
File fNew = new File(filepath.toString(),tempFileRef.getName());
String MM_Overall_DRIVER = "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver";
String MM_Overall_USERNAME = "****";
String MM_Overall_PASSWORD = "*********";
String MM_Overall_STRING = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
Driver DriverRecordset1 = (Driver)Class.forName(MM_Overall_DRIVER).newInstance();
Connection ConnRecordset1 = DriverManager.getConnection(MM_Overall_STRING,MM_Overall_USERNAME,MM_Overall_PASSWORD);
PreparedStatement StatementRecordset1 = ConnRecordset1.prepareStatement("use " + domain);
ResultSet Recordset1 = StatementRecordset1.executeQuery();
filepath.append("/").append(tempFileRef.getName());
StringBuffer fp = new StringBuffer("insert into ");
fp.append(domain).append(".filepaths (path) values ('").append(filepath).append("')");
PreparedStatement ps = ConnRecordset1.prepareStatement(fp.toString());
ps.executeUpdate();
System.out.println(fNew.getAbsolutePath());
fi.write(fNew);
else {
System.out.println("Field ="+fi.getFieldName());
}Basically I store the file uploaded in the tomcat server and the path of the file is saved in a table in MySQL.
When I upload a file using a PC, the tomcat console displays the content type file name yada yada yada. However, when I upload a file from the Nokia 6680, I get just the content type then things just stop there and nothing else happens. No file name no file size whatsoever. The path of the file is not inserted into MySQL and the file is not stored in the server.
Can anyone please enlighten me on this issue and hopefully gimme a solution to this problem? Your help will be greatly appreciated.-bump-

Problems uploading files across all browsers and wifi connections?
Hello
I've been having a bit of a strange issue with my MacBook Pro lately, it seems to have problems with uploading images/files onto certain websites. Two recent occasions have been failure to upload image content when signed into the admin area of my business website, as well as failng to upload a .pdf to a business card printing company.
When I try to upload content to certain websites, I get an animated uploading bar from said website's interface, which just stays looping and never finishes the upload, seemingly stuck uploading for all eternity!
I am having this problem on Safari, Firefox AND Chrome. I have cleared the cookies, caches, history etc. on all browsers in an attempt to fix the issue with no luck. I have also tried all three browsers on various wifi networks with no luck.
I know it is not an issue with the websites, since having this problem I have used other computers on the same various wifi networks which have uploaded the content immediately with no problems.
I have performed software update and everything is as up to date as can be! I don't know what else to try, any suggestions?Run a free ClamXav scan on your entire hard drive.

Problem uploading/File Zilla!!
I am new to website building. I have completed my website and am now ready to upload it. My host is register.com I was told in order to upload the website I must use File Zilla.
My problem is this...
I have saved the website in my user folder under the library. When I go to view it on my hard drive space all the files read as html files. When I open them in File Zilla, they call read as simply "files" not html, and therefore are no use to me.
What am I doing wrong????????????That sounds a little far fetched to me- how can a domain hosting company have problems with uploading using ftp? I don't quite get that as the only way to upload website pages is via some kind of ftp package. If they have difficulty with that, then this company should not be in business as a web hosting firm.
You can try other such as Cyberduck or Transmit which are both easy to use, but I agree, if they put pressure on your to just use one ftp program I would definitely ditch them and take your business elsewhere. GoDaddy has lots of good recommendations here. -
Hi,
I'd like to upload a file with an ftp. I declared a method using an url as follow :
public static void uploadFile(File fileToMove_p, String newFileName_p) {
try {
URL url_l = new URL("ftp://[uid]:[pwd]@localhost/" + newFileName_p);
URLConnection connection_l = url_l.openConnection();
OutputStream output_l = connection_l.getOutputStream();
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(output_l);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileToMove_p));
int i;
while ((i = bis.read()) != -1) {
bos.write(i);
catch (IOException ex) {}
But when I oppen my new file, it miss the end of my data. The ftp cut the few last line of my original file.
Any idear of what is happening here and how I can solve the problem ?
ThanksAre you closing the OutputStream? If not, you probably should, and closing the stream will flush it prior to closing.
HTH,

I was really really happy with firefox 3.0. But 2 days ago I had to upgrade to 3.6.12 in order to use Constant Contact.. I am really really really upset. I tried to send an mp4 file using You Send It and I keep getting an error message. I tried to upload a file I sent 3 days ago using firefox 3.0 and it uploaded and sent with ease. Now I cannot send any files and I am really angry as I use You Send It for my clients. I will probably have to start using a different browser if you cannot fix this problem.
Exactly what was the error message you received?
Have you tried using YouSendIt support? <br />

More than likely it is a problem that is easily fixed within that application, and not directly a Firefox issue. -
When I try to upload to YouTube, things appear to be working, but every time it either ends up telling me the upload has been interrupted or it shows that the upload finished & then the file is nowhere to be found in my account. When I switched to IE, the upload worked fine the first time. When I tried to upload to SendSpace, I "browsed" for a file to upload, selected the file, & then nothing happened at all. Again, when I switched to IE, the upload worked just fine. I imagine there is some setting in Firefox that I need to change, but I have no idea what it is & can't figure it out by looking through the menus I see. I need some help!
Jean, Thanks for your answer, I've tried checking the invoke node that calls the "Run VI" method but it doesnt return an error any of the times its called even that the Vi that it called is still running. I also tried your solution of changing the object's "Run" method to a template but that doesnt work either. I can't seem to post the sample progam that demonstrates the problem, is it possible to send it to you by email, contact me at [email protected]

After downloading a number of 1.0 MB files, the system became very sluggish, and I started to get lots of (Not Responding) messages when trying to download or just use Firefox for browsing. Using Performance Monitor, I observed that the Firefox executable was growing larger and larger - up to as large as 1.2 GB on a system with 2.0 GB memory. Page faults were off the chart.
Looking for a similar problem, I found one that discussed the downloads.sqlite file becoming corrupted. I first noticed that this file was over 600 MB in size, so I deleted it. I then downloaded additional files, and observed that the new downloads.sqlite file would increase in size by about 150% of the size of each file that was downloaded. Once it would get up to 500 MB in size, the system started slowing down again.
I don't know the purpose of this file, but it appears that it keeps a full copy of every file downloaded, which may be the function of a download history file, but it does not seem correct that the file should grow in size without limit, and thus impact the system.
I would also appear that the Firefox executable is trying to read the entire contents of this file each time a new file is downloaded, which does not seem right.
Temporary fix is to periodically delete the downloads.sqlite file when it gets too large and starts impacting performance.. Apparently it is smart enough to open a new file if the old one is not found. I am not sure what the correct behavior for this file should be. Apparently is does not re-initialize when a new Firefox session is initiated.
Please feel free to contact me if more information is desired. I'm not sure what details you might need to troubleshoot this type of problem.Hi Katy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What is the exact name of the file?
Is it aim.bin?
Which requires either Stuffit Expander, or the Unarchiver to deflate.

Weird Javascript problem on Safari and other web browsers
Hello,
this is actually pretty weird. For the past several weeks I have been dealing with a very strange problem which I believe relates to JavaScript. To be more specific I have an issue with two websites: Macuser.gr and Facebook.com.
As far as Macuser.gr is concerned this is how it's supposed to look:
http://f.cl.ly/items/0j1J123Y2D0t1C2U3b1f/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .04%20PM.jpg
and this is how Safari renders it:

The problem is with the preview images as you can see.
Now, in Facebook there's this annoying white line where it isn't supposed to be:

I have tried and tested everything (Guest user, different browsers etc) and all it comes down to is JavaScript. Disabling Javascript seems to fix everything immediately. Enabling it again and this mess occurs. Also, this happens with the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox BUT not with Camino 2.1.2 although it has JavaScript enabled in it.
This is really frustrating and it appeared out of the blue one day. I did not have this problem from day 1. Any ideas?Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.
