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.

HI,
BrowserPlus is causing problems when attaching files to Yahoo mail. It's not compatible with Safari 5.

Lion running Safari 5.1 cannot attach files in Yahoo Mail

I've seen a bunch of various threads on this over years, but none have answered it for my situation.
In this case clicking the "Attach" button in Yahoo Mail does absolutely nothing. No freezes or crashes - it just will not invoke a file tree to pick the attachment from.
I just migrated over frrom a 2009 Mini to a 2011 Mini. The exact same browser version running in Snow on the old Mini was working perfectly 2 days ago.
Thoughts?

Thanks Carolyn - Done as per your suggestion!
I'm pretty sure this is something I couldn't do in Snow? (I''ve only been using Lion for a few days now). - And/or this is something Yahoo only started to allow recently - before, in the old days POP Mail was an add on Pay feature. IMAP is new(ish) for them. Maybe this is something I never looked for either (old dog/new tricks)
Speaking of Lion - looking to make sure the Yahoo messages were copying off of the Yahoo servers I looked for them in - Home/Library/Mail - but that's hidden in Lion now. Go-> ~/Library reveals that it's all downloading fine.
FWIW - The "ATTACH" button started working again for me this morning without doing a single thing. No restart, didn't quit anything - left the Mac to sleep for 5 hours and tried again and it's working! Strange.

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.

I can no longer attach files in Yahoo mail since upgrading to FireFox 4.0.1. I click the "attach" button and nothing happens - no file list to select from appears; nothing.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 the "attach files" function in my Yahoo Mail account no longer functions. When I click the "attach files" button nothing happens - nothing. No file selection box opens, no error message appears, no pinwheel of death, nothing.
The "attach files" button is no longer 'hot' in FF 4.0.1 either = the "little hand" icon does not appear when I scroll over it. Other action buttons are still 'hot' ("attachments", "emoticons", "format", "hide bcc"etc.) - just not the "attach files" button.
The Yahoo Mail "attach files" function still works when I use my Safari browser, however. So, it appears to be a FF4.0.1 issue.
(Intel MacBook, Snow Leopard, 2gb ram, 360gb hd)

You can try to delete the file mimeTypes.rdf

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.

Attaching Files to Yahoo Mail

Hello,
I am trying to attach files that I have just recently imported from my digital camera to Yahoo Mail. When I go to attach files, then to Pictures on the menu, I then click on Iphoto library, thats as far as it will go unless I want to attach the entire library (which I don't). Does anyone know how I attach the specific files I want? Thanks for all the help!!

DeAnza
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
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.
To upload to MySpace or any 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 THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Safari Freezes when attaching files

Hello Someone/Everyone,
My Safari browser freezes when I attach files using yahoo. I've updated to the newest flash. still nothing. I've read the majority of the discussions here and no luck. Most involve viewing a crash report. I don't have a crash report since it technically doesn't crash. It simple doesn't allow me to do anything else so I have to force quit the application using the activity monitor. Any ideas on what to do... thanks in advance for your help.

Can not open all .pdf files in Yahoo Mail.

Three computers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer can open all .pdf files in Yahoo
Mail. The fourth and newest Computer with XP Pro, Internet Explorer, and the latest Adobe
Reader can only open some, but not all, .pdf files in Yahoo Mail. Nothing happens when
the window is clicked to open file. How can this be fixed?

Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF. For example, our Macs are network homed. Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon.
However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked. I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
Hope this helps.

Cannot attach files to Yahoo email account since new Safari installed

Hello. I don’t know why, but since I installed the new Safari update, I’ve been having trouble attaching files to my Yahoo email account. The entire Safari just sort of freezes. I can’t even click on anything.
Another minor but irritating problem since the installment: sometime video clips cannot be played (like on Youtube). I would have to quit and reopen to get to usual condition.
Anyone know how to solve these problems? Thanks!

HI,
The problem is BrowserPlus. It's not compatible with Safari 5.
Instructions for uninstalling BrowserPlus here. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/browserplus/uninstall.html
If you don't want to do that, you revert to the previous version of Safari, instructions here.
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/downgrade-from-safari-5-0-to-safari-4-0-5/
Then update to Safari 5 at a later date.

Mail freezes when attaching file

I suddenly can't attach files to mail that I'm sending. The mail program freezes and I have to force quit (it says "mail not responding" in force quit box). I can still send mail if there are no attachments. Anyone know what to do?

Hi Lessa,
Could be many things, we should start with this for safety...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
If you still have the same problem...
Quit Mail.
Then in your Home folder. open Library folder, open Caches folder in that, look for the Mail, and drag it to the Desktop.Move Envelope Index to the Desktop in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Move this folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail

Two things, One freezing after sending files, two ...

So yea, the first one i'm sure i'm not the first to wonder why it's doing that for and i did try some of the things that were told to be done like; Renaming skype in the %appdata% and then deleting that other skype folder in that other place but, it just re-freezes after sending anything again anyway, and secondly, for some reason the ads keeps flickering whenever i type something it's not really all that big of a deal on this one but, it's annoying anyway.
So, in short, why does it keep freezing after sending something and how do i make it stop freezing.
And on a side note, i'm very terrible with forums so, please don't be hating me if i posted this in the wrong place.

What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827218
What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.
