Scanning, Attaching to emails, and Sending in Color using a MAC

I need to be able to scan color images to my desk top, attach them to emails and send the emails so that when received and read they will be in color.  I know how to scan the colored images to my desk top, but when I go to view them they are in black and white/not in color.  Why and now do I get them scanned in color?  I need to know this sooner rather than later please!
Also, my printer is still under warranty.  How do I get someone from customer/technical support on the phone to troubleshoot this and tell me how to fix the problem?  I cannot get a hold of anyone.  All the numbers I try are useless because I can't get anyone on the phone.

    I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

    1) design for no wider than 600px (otherwise it may not fit in email clients).
    2) Slice up your newsletter design in segments for images and html areas with the slice tool.
    3) add the <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com">my website</a> link in one of the html areas.
    4) export as generic html 4 code, and put the images in a separate folder.
    5) upload all the images to your website's server in a folder (you cannot embed images in an email newsletter - they must link to externally hosted images).
    6) change all the links in your html page to the ones that were loaded up on your server. For example, an image's source link would work out similar to this: <img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newsletter/image1.jpg" alt="alternate description of your image">
    7) open the newsletter with working external images in Chrome or Firefox. Select the entire page content (ctrl-a), and copy it (ctrl-c).
    8) create a new email in your mail client. Place the cursor in the body. Paste the newsletter (ctrl-v).
    9) send your newsletter to hundreds of recipients, and get blacklisted by several email servers. Receive warning messages from your own hosting provider not to spam other users' email accounts.
    10) realize this is too much of a hassle, and instead opt for a service such as MailChimp.
    (The result in (9) depends on whether you sent out your newletter only to acquaintances, or not. But even then you might be warned off.)
    Btw, many email clients turn off images in an email by default. You must provide the most important content as html, not as images.

  • I can create documents in Mavericks Pages and Keynote. When I attach them to an email and send to others also using Mavericks, they can't open the attachments. Why might this be?

    I can create documents in Mavericks Pages and Keynote. When I attach them to an email and send to others also using Mavericks, they can't open the attachments. Why might this be?

    The new Pages v5 (Mavericks) uses a new file format with the same extension name (.pages). Older versions of Pages cannot open these documents unless you first export them as Word (.docx) and send these as Mail attachments. The same is true if you originate an IOS Pages v2.01 .pages document.
    You may be sending to people who chose not to install Pages v5 on Mavericks and continue to use Pages ’09 v4.3 instead — especially for the superset of features that are presently not in Pages v5.

  • Tho bl Email in iPhone to the Reserve email and i can not Reception any email he go to the email and send i can see my emails in the Hotmail website what i can do

    Tho bl Email in iPhone to the Reserve email and i can not Reception any email he go to the email and send i can see my emails in the Hotmail website what i can do i need my email in my iphone i try to go apple>support>apple id>name and email> and i can not i using iPhone 4s in 6.0

    Try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset its password.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've done that update the primary email address on the account to be an account that you have access to e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

  • Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

    Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

    Hi SandyS_VZW,
    Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
    Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
    -> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
    -> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
    THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
    My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
    Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
    Was there a known issue similar about this case?
    thanks,

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • When going from a Mac-based Ai to a PC based Ai, the documents "Font" are not found on the PC version?  (mostly Helvetica) where and how do I get those Fonts?  And/or, can I use the Mac version of these Fonts?

    Thanks, Rich

    In order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf  type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.

    HAD MY MICROSOFT OFFICE 2011 loose a bunch of its add ons and plugins when i used a mac keeper software how do i get it back

    MacKeeper, being poorly written, acts like highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system. It is also unethically marketed and a rip-off, offering nothing that is not available for free.. Positive reviews of it are known to have been paid for by the developers, Zeobit.
    Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware:
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    Do NOT download or use the ‘MacKeeper uninstaller’ from the Zeobit site, as this will cause even more damage to your operating system.

  • CONVERT SCANNED FILE TO PDF AND SEND TO EMAIL!

    I got many files that were scanned in (110) to be exact.  I need to know how to convert the scanned files to pdf and then send them to an email.  Thanks      Marie

    What is the format (file type) of these scanned docs?

    Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

  • When I attach a document and send as an email, non apple users can not open it?

    For my business I have to send invoices to customers, When I attach the invoice to an email non apple uses can not open the file? why is this.
    I have tried to copy and paste the invoice to body of email and when they get it it appears as a question mark in a box?
    how can I fix this?

    Couple of thoughts.
    When you have the Mail compose window up, there should be a row of icons along the top right side. One of these is a paperclip for attachments. Click it, and check the Send Windows-Friendly Attachments. This will help for non-Mac Mail recipients. Ultimately, it will be their email system, and how it is configured that will determine how their attachments arrive — not you.
    Send your invoices as PDF, not Pages, or Word content. Since you don't mention your operating system or release of Pages, I will cover the bases here:
    Pages '09
    One can use the Share menu to send a PDF via Mail. It does the export to PDF, opens Mail, and attaches the PDF. (Broken in Yosemite).
    File ▸ Export ▸ PDF…, and then drag/drop the PDF into a Mail compose Window. If document size, right-click on it and choose View as Icon.
    Pages v5
    On the right-side of the Toolbar, there is a Share icon. Choose Send a Copy > Email > PDF. This auto-attaches to a new Mail compose window.
    File ▸ Export To ▸ PDF… . Same as Pages '09, second bullet.

  • Workflow to attach given file to new email and send to specified recipient

    I am new to (and excited about) Automator. My first aim is to create a workflow that creates a new email to be sent to a client, attaches a given file to that e-mail, and sends the email (need to do this for 35, and eventually 100 clients; hence the need for automation). The workflow I have, so far consists of:
    1 New Mail Message
    2 Get Specified Finder Items
    3 Add Attachments to Front Message
    4 Send Outgoing Message
    Steps 1-3 seem to work, but the message, is not sent. Can anyone explain why?
    Steven
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I'm not sure why the mail message isn't getting sent in this workflow, could be a bug? If you're okay with using AppleScript, we've hashed together a neat script on this forum before:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1220736
    It'll let you do a bunch of other stuff too like put the filenames in your subject line and add a form letter addressed to the recipient.

  • HP 8610 Scan attached to email on computer

    Attempting to attach scans from 8610 to my Thunderbird email client. I was able to do this easily with my old Canon all in one, and can do it with Windows Fax and Scan but HP software cannot find my email client, even though the instructions actually mention Mozilla Thunderbird, and I quote:
    "Email as PDF
    Use this option to automatically attach a non-editable scanned PDF text document to an email message using a local email client such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird."
    I have tried every possible option and arrangement but nothing will work. Scanning works fine, I can send scans as emails from the 8610 directly but CANNOT get the software to attach a scan to Thunderbird.
    What am I missing?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello @dicnic,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're experiencing issues when trying to scan through the HP Scan software for your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer on your Windows 7 computer to your Mozilla Thunderbird email application. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue.
    To start troubleshooting I am going to have you ensure that your Mozilla Thunderbird software is set as the Default Email Program on your computer.
    Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start type in default programs and hit enter on your keyboard
    When the Default Programs window opens select Set your default programs
    Click on Mozilla Thunderbird on the left hand side
    Next, click set this program as default on the bottom right
    Click OK if prompted
    Restart your computer
    Once your computer has completed its restart please try scanning to email again.
    If 'Scan to Email' still fails while using Mozilla Thunderbird you may find this thread helpful. There is a post that lists how to alter the Registry to 'allow' the Scan to Email feature to work with Thunderbird. I cannot guarantee these steps will work for you as there is no HP supported documentation to back up the findings, but other users appear to have luck with the fix. Please only follow the steps if you're comfortable with altering the Registry on your computer. Also, rather than altering the path for Windows Live Mail, alter it for Mozilla Thunderbird. The path for Mozilla Thunderbird should be found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Thunderbird. Once you export the key you can follow the listed steps under Notepad to alter the key. I would highly recommend backing up the Registry on your computer prior to making any changes to the Registry. If you do not feel comfortable with following these steps, please do not. I will be more than happy to guide you through some alternative troubleshooting steps should setting the Default Mail Program fail to resolve your scan to email issue.
    Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your scanning issue. I look forward to hearing from you!
