So the thing with the attachments in Mail for Mac...

Hey guys,
I've searched and browsed for the last 2 or 3 hours to find a solution to this problem and I've seen that many others are having the same problem and no solution for it.
What's the problem?
I'm using the standard Mail program on a Macbook Pro under OS X Mavericks and no matter how I attach a file in an eMail it will ALWAYS come as "inline" or "embedded" to the recipient. Now this bothers me **** of a lot, because the mails simply look riddiculous. I would really like to attach my .jpeg and .pdf files as ATTACHMENTS and not as pictures which then by some can't even be saved or downloaded.
What "solutions" have I tried?
So this problem dates back to 2008 / 2009 and I'm not the only one having this issue. Apparently there are some solutions.
Here are the ones that I tried but didn't work:
setting composed mails to "plain text" rather than "rich text" - failed
clicking the embedded file and activating "view as icon" - failed
the thing with the terminal command - failed
attachments always on end of document - failed
Attachment Tamer seems to work, but causes some crashes and I'm not really happy with a third party program whose development seems to have stopped since a pre-realease build.
Now I would really, really appreciate any more ideas to solve this problem.. it is literally driving me crazy .
So long,
Oliver

It seems hard to control how the recipient's email program will process the attachment. I always put my attachments at the end of the message and they stay there as far as I know, so it is not clear what causes this problem for those that experience it.
One workaround: zip the attachment(s) and send the zipped file. You "zip it" by selecting the file(s) control-clicking and selecting "compress". Of course, now the recipient has to have the "unzipping" ability, which may or may not be a problem.

This may seem basic, but I just discovered that I do not have a share button (the thing with the little arrow popping out) to the left of my address bar on my Mac. I do have one on my IPad and really like it. Why don't I have this on my Mac?

This may seem basic, but I just discovered that I do not have a share button (the one with the little arrow jumping out) to the left of my address bar on Safari for my Mac. I do have one on my IPad and use it often. Can anyone tell me why my Mac is missing this icon and how to get it? Thanks.

Going from Lion to Mountain Lion is considered an upgrade (because it is not free), not an update.
So yes, given that you have Lion, you are up to date. But if you can, you might consider going to Mountain Lion for a fee.
Here's what you need to do the upgrade:

My 2nd generation iPod touch won't turn on no matter what, the last time I turned it on the screen went blue and just completely shut down and it hasn't worked since December 2013, i have connected it to iTunes and did the thing with the home button.

Is their anything else I can try?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

Hi,
I have the check box on a second Partition but not on the Time Machine one
I forget what I did now to get this called "Recovery HD"
For the rest try https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4055 User Tip that links to Pondini's work on Time Machine.

I am setting up ipads for use in an elementary, and I would like the "home screen" to be the apps, rather than the default with the chat, mail, etc icons. how do I change that?

Can anyone answer this question?

Depending on exactly what you want to do, there are a couple of ways of handling this. You may want to access teh user guide for some ideas: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
In particular, check the sections on Customizing iPad and Settings > Restrictions.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

After installing OS8 my mail items On my iPad in trash often are mixed up with the body of the email in the wrong email. The iPhone with the same mail in trash is fine, as is the GMail trash on my PC.

I Have IOS 8.1 on my iPad & iPhone And I use gmail. When I review email trash on the iPad, many of the emails in trash have the wrong content. The body of the email appears as the content of another email also in trash. The same emails in trash on the iPhone & in Gmail trash on the PC are all OK. if I file the email back in the inbox it Still has the body of the email with the wrong sender and addressee. Any ideas?

Greetings,
Mail doesn't create .txt files from email messages; it sends exactly what you type. If some of your recipients are claiming they receive .txt files, that would most likely be due to their email client, which no doubt is running Windoze. Only they can solve that problem. If the message is okay in your Sent mailbox, that's exactly what you sent, so the problem is on their end.

Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

Hello jo90733,
I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.
OS X Mountain Lion: Back up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11371
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
To start the installation, click Install.
Cheers,
Allen

Right-clicked links aren't marked and I cannot do other things with the Options window open

After upgrading to Firefox 4 yesterday, I've been able to solve most of my problems by changing settings or installing various add-ons. However, I still have two problems that I haven't managed to find solutions for.
Previously, when I right-clicked a link, the link would be marked with a dotted border that made it very clear exactly which link had been right-clicked. This marking still appears if I use the Tab key to go to a certain link, but if I use the mouse like I usually do, without using Tab, the marking is nowhere to be seen. Is there a way of getting this marking back?
I also have a problem with the Options window (the one found under Tools > Options). When I have that window open, I can't seem to use the Firefox window that I opened it from without closing the Options window. This is very annoying, as I might want to go to some website with information about certain options while the Options window is open. It also means that if I push the 'Help' button in the Options window, the help is opened in a new window instead of in a new tab in the previous window. I really don't like being forced to use several windows like that, and if I recall correctly, it wasn't like this in previous versions of Firefox. Is there any way of changing it?

I've encountered the problem with the stretched images.
I solved it by making sure the images that I was importing were set to "Original Size" in the fitting.
(I initially had my images "Scale to Fit" in the box, I had larger images then the final box size)
You just have to go back and make your images are sized horizontlly to the boxs width.
Stats for image below:
Box size = 125 w X 185 h
Image size = 125 w X 125 w
Fitting = Original Size
Position = top middle

Hi,
Here you tried to connect the Info source(Direct update) to Transactional data Data source(8...).Thats why you are not able to see the Data source 8....
So create a Infosource (for Flexible updating ) for your Master characterstic.After activating the communication structure , if you try to assign the Data source,you will see the DS 8...

Plz, donot forget to assign points, if it helps you.

I work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist. It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution. I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one.
