Screen captures become corrupt as attachment in Mail

I have created a screen capture (with shiftapple4) which creates an PNG image on my desktop. Then I create a new email message and attaches the screen capture (not using the Windows compatible attachment mode) and sends it.
When doing like this the the attached image becomes corrupt. Regardless if I send it to myself (on my mac) or to a windows user using Thunderbird or Pine. I can't open the file and when I try to save the attachment to disk the file becomes empty (file size is 0 bytes). Pine gives a little more feedback and complains about errors in the Base64 encoding.
The thing is, that if I first open the PNG file in the Preview tool and saves it to a new PNG file (save as...) it all works! It also works if I simply copies the file to another computer (linux) and back (using scp). I have no problem of sending any other attachments than the screen captures. I think this is very strange!
Anyone have a clue what the error is?

  • Importing a high definition clip, fps 25, from Koyote screen capture, becomes bad in Elements

    Hi,
    I am running Adobe Elements 11 and have one irritating problem. I make a perfect on screen recording but when I import the .avi to elements some things just become poor. For example when I scroll a window while recording it just becomes a weird buzz and laggy. The raw file is flawless but when imported this happens.
    Thankful for any help,

  • Why doesn't markup in Mail app work on screen captures or pasted images?

    When in Mail app, If i right click and choose Capture selection from Screen I can take a screenshot which is inserted into the email.   The markup icon in the top right of the image never appears.  This is also true for images I copy and paste into the email.  It seems to me that being able to markup a screen capture is one of the most important use cases for this type of feature. 

    SteveTEXAS,
    When I right click and choose Capture selection. The image it places in the email will not show up on the recipients side. However if I use the Grab shortcuts on my Mac to take a screenshot then drag them in off the Desktop they not only show up on the recipients side, but Markup seems to work on them as well.
    I have no idea what would cause this. I think it would be something important to provide feedback to Apple about. https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    You can find the Grab app in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities
    Or you can use the keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot. They will place them on your desktop.
    For a selection - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 )
    To select a whole window - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 ) > ( Spacebar ) > Click Window you want
    For whole display - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 3 )
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • Screen Capture files are corrupted

    I use the built-in Screen Capture all the time....Command-Shift-3 and Command-Shift-4.
    As recently as two days ago, it worked beautifully.
    Today, it's not working correctly. The files get saved to the desktop, but they are corrupted. I can make out the image that I captured, but it looks like the horizontal setting on old cathode ray TVs is waaay out of sync.
    I've tried a different user on the machine. I've tried changing the format from png to jpeg to pdf and back to png. Same result.
    This is weird.
    Any ideas?

    OK, weird. The problem has 'gone away' without doing anything specific. I didn't even realize it - I just did a screen shot because I needed it and then sent it to the person who needed it. Only later, did I realize that I had had problems just yesterday.
    I didn't even get a chance to try the suggestions listed above.
    By the way, all three versions of the file were corrupted: the desktop icon, the Quick Look version and the actual file as seen in Preview.
    If it happens again, I'll be back.
    Thanks for the help people. I hope to return the favor.

  • Screen Captures shrinking in Mail

    I use the feature a lot, taking snap of a portion of the screen, and dropping it in an email to send to someone, but recently whilst the screen capture is fine, when its dropped in an email, it shrinks!
    To to point where its unreadable.
    Dropping the image back from the email to the desktop confirms it...all detail has been taken out of it. The original screen capture is fine, but the mail effected one is useless.
    Have I missed a wonderful new feature of Mail or OS X thats happened on some update??
    Any answers anyone??? Is it a preference setting? Cause this is a major pain!

    Bottom right corner of your new email message window is a dropdown for sizing
    attachments. Choose large or full size(original?).

  • Yosemite mail screen capture issue

    In new Mail if you try to insert a screen capture, using a right mouse click and selecting something on the screen, the selection is captured and inserted in the new mail as an image, but once you send the email the image disappear and the receiver does not receive any image...
    thanks

    Go to System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts and make sure you have the correct key sequence for what you want.
    Also go to Help and do a search on "Screen Shot" and see what you can find as far as information.

  • Mail goes to 100% CPU and becomes unresponsive on one e-mail

    Until this morning, I've had no problems with Mail. A business associate sent me an e-mail as a reply to a conversation spanning several weeks with a small PDF attachment. When I went to read the e-mail on my MacBook Pro, Mail became unresponsive with the "loading panel" twirling in the e-mail pane. CPU load went to 100% and remained there. I found that if I clicked on another mailbox, eventually (minutes later) it would become selected and CPU load would drop back down to normal. Tried it several times with the same results.
    My mail server filters out spam and forwards all e-mails to my gmail account so that I have all of my e-mails on my iPhone. I found the offending e-mail on my iPhone and found that it opened just fine and the attachment opened fine too. Thinking that the e-mail had somehow become corrupted, I deleted it from my MacBook Pro then forwarded the message from my iPhone to the account used by my MacBook Pro. When I went to read the forwarded e-mail on my MBP, the same problem occurred. From what I can see in my iPhone there's nothing unusual about the e-mail, just some text and the small PDF attachment. I can open other e-mails with PDF attachments fine. It's just this one e-mail that gives Mail a problem.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Using Disk Utility, I did a repair on my MBP volume - no problems found.
    I did a permissions repair - nothing unusual.
    I did a rebuild on all of my mail folders - everything went okay.
    I disabled and uninstalled Letter Opener Pro (the only plug-in I use with Mail)
    I disabled Norton.
    Still no joy. I realize I can just delete the e-mail and go on with life but ideally I would like to be able to solve the problem so it doesn't happen again. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you solve it?

    Safari has been known to cause cpu usage to spike. If nothing else, report the pages to Apple using "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.
    One of the Safari issues in the OS X 10.4.4 update was:
    Addresses an issue in which some websites, such as www.cbsnews.com, could cause CPU usage to spike unnecessarily, or cause Safari to stop responding, unless Safari's Enable JavaScript preference was deselected.
    It is possible that they didn't get it completely fixed.
    I have also noticed that Safari slows down after being open for an extended period or if I have tons of tabs open, although it is not as bad as it once was. Additionally, regardless of anything else, it does appear that some sites slow down Safari's performance and/or spike the cpu usage until I close that tab. (I've had this happen to me with Firefox as well, by the way).

  • ALV output as an attachment to mail

    Hi all,
    I have an requirement where in an interface i populate a ALV data and i need to pass the ALV output as an attachment to a mail send to some shared folder in SAP mail office. Indeed i should not display the output but rather capture the output and send it as an attachment to mail. Tried using with SPOOL, able to capture the ALV output in background but the retrieval of spool id being generated during that process seems to be difficult. if some one has already worked on this kind of requirement may throw some light on this.
    thanks,
    Jagath

    Hi Zhenglin hu,
    thanks for your valuable information. well it indeed was really helpful, but i have a small problem which is when i call the FM print_report and executemy ALV the output gets attached to spool but it displays a spool request screen which will stop my interface process until or unless i press back manually. how to avoid this screen being displayed after i execute the same.
    are there any different approach apart from this?
    Thanks,
    Jagath

  • Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

    Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

    cor-el,
    Yes, I will....the next time it happens. In the past it has happened to AOL a number of times (which is usually my home page), as well as some Yuku message boards I visit...The History Channel A&E, Spike TV, all at various times.
    Unfortunately, this morning when it happened to one of the Yuku message board, I went directly to the tool bar, cleared my cache and cookies, without capturing a screenshot. Now , everything I've bookmarked is working properly but I will tell you it's a problem that I only experience on Firefox and not any other browsers, even when I've imported bookmarks from Firefox. It's been a fairly consistent problem for the past 6 months or so where I manually uninstalled, reinstalled Firefox (my preferred browser) and again, manually started bookmarking my sites all over again. It seems that when it happens most of the icons, graphics and photographs are missing, leaving me with only disorganized text.
    The next time that it occurs, I will take a screen shot and forward it to you.
    Thanks for you interest and help.

  • Screen Capture Issue

    In the past when I wanted to take a screen capture I would push Shift-Command-3. Then I would email it to someone by opening Mail and then attaching the screen capture and it would mail along a HUGE actual sized picture of the the sceen caputre. Now, when I do it just a small preview picture is sent and it is so tiny the person I am sending it to cannot make any details out whatsoever.
    This seems to have been something that was changed in 10.5.3. How do I select to send the actual screen capture sized picture to whom it may concern?

    Go to System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts and make sure you have the correct key sequence for what you want.
    Also go to Help and do a search on "Screen Shot" and see what you can find as far as information.

  • Creating or opening and attachment in Mail freezes the Dock

    On my MBP, when opening or creating an attachment in Mail, the Dock becomes frozen.
    Clicking on it has no effect and the white dot remains on Apps that have closed; it is totally frozen. (It acts like a picture of the Dock>)
    Restarting clears it.
    Sometimes, but not always, Logging out and back in clears it.
    I reapplied the SL updater, this time starting up from the upgrade disk.
    I have repaired permissions and run Preferential Treatment to look for corrupted preferences, no problem identified.

    HI Chris,
    Quit Mail if it's open
    Try dragging your Mail icon up off the Dock. It will go "poof" ... then open your Applications folder and launch Mail. If the Dock isn't cooperating, select the Mail icon and click: Keep in Dock.
    If that doesn't work... even though you used PT, locate this file.
    com.apple.Dock.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • How can I create a PNG or JPG screen capture or screenshot of the entire length of a long email message?

    Hi all,
    I need to create screenshots of emails, but I need to image the entire length of those emails. Can I using Mail or any other email application? Here is what I have tried so far ...
    I can only do a screen capture of the portion of the email that shows up on my 27" Mac. I can reduce the size of the emails somewhat, but usually not enough to capture their entire length.
    I tried going through Gmail using Firefox + Awesome Screenshots plugin, but couldn't get Gmail to open entire page so as to capture it. Normally I view this Gmail account using Apple Mail.
    "Printing" to a PDF is not an acceptable solution for my needs, because that changes the native formatting to fit the print / pdf format. I need to show the exact email layout as thought it were an actual email.
    Any ideas? Thaks for your help.
    Marco

    AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB

    Installed ScreenGrab add-on to Firefox and, sorry, it still only captures the window to the extent that it is open, and there is no way that I know to open an email window in Gmail so as to show the netire lengthof a long email message.
    So, ScreenGrab helped me get more screen capture of an email, but still not yet the entire email. I used Save>Complete Page/Frame, but still no more than what is visible.
    I'll keep looking. And thanks for your suggestion Sabatica.

    Have you upgraded to Yosemite?  Then you could send the attachment using Mail Drop.
    You can use Mail Drop to send files that exceed the maximum size allowed by the provider of your email account. Mail Drop uploads the large attachments to iCloud, where they’re encrypted and stored for up to 30 days.
    If you have an iCloud account and you’re signed in to iCloud when you click Send, Mail automatically sends the attachments using Mail Drop. Mail Drop attachments don’t count against your iCloud storage.
    If you don’t have an iCloud account, or if you’re not signed in, Mail asks you whether to use Mail Drop (select “Don’t ask again for this account” to always use Mail Drop).
    If a recipient uses Mail in OS X Yosemite, the attachments are automatically downloaded and included in your message just like any other attachment. For other recipients, your message includes links for downloading the attachments and their expiration date.
    You can turn Mail Drop on or off for an account. Choose Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, select your account, click Advanced, then select or deselect “Send large attachments with Mail Drop.”

  • File attachement in mail adapter

    Hi ,
    I need to send users an error report which I have captured in the form of a file. Is it possible to attach this file as an attachement via mail adapter. I have been reading that the payload can be sent as attachment by specifying the interface namespace and interface name. But my requirement is to trigger the mail once the file has been completely written and not for every message. The reason being I could have 3000 records in the file and I dont want to send 3000 MAILS out but just 1 mail for the entire 3000 records...
    Thanks,
    Teresa

    Hi Teresa,
    I hope, I understand you right.
    When you use the file-adapter for sending the file, you can without mapping send this file out to a mail receiver as attachment, there is nothing special to do.
    Regards
    Stefan
