Strange problem e=mailing photos

I have been sending some photos from my iMac to my wife's iPad.
Yesterday I sent 4, 2 arrived and 2 did not. They are shown as "sent" in my Mail system.
I tried again to day. I resent the 2 from yesterday and another one that she wanted.
The new one has arrived but the other 2 still have not appeared.
All the photos are about the same size, between 100 and 200kb.
I have logged in to her Webmail to check if they were there but for some reason the iPad had not downloaded them, but they are not there either!!!
Any ideas?

After much fiddling about on Webmail and on her iPad, I have finally located the missing e-mailed photos.
They had for some reason been treated as Spam and were therefore not in the Inbox, but in the Spam folder.
That just creates a different puzzle, why were some of the photos treated as spam and the others - all sent from my iMac - appeared in the Inbox??
As a further complication I managed to send the original 2 that did not appear by first sending them to myself on my iPhone and then forwarding them from there to my wife's iPad where they arrived in the Inbox. !!!!

Strange Problem with Mail & Address Book

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with Mail & Address Book.
When I go to compose a new message from Mail and hit the Address button (to show my email addresses), it won't launch the contacts window!
I get this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:55:59.079 Mail[410] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)
If I try to launch the Address Book from my Applications folder, it won't open, and it gives me this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:57:57.348 Address Book[417] * -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: data is NULL
Oct 15 22:57:57 PB-G4 /Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/MacOS/Address Book: CGImageSourceCreateWithData data parameter is nil\n
2007-10-15 22:57:57.350 Address Book[417] Don't know about packed image EditLeftCapStd
2007-10-15 22:57:57.350 Address Book[417] Exception raised during posting of notification. Ignored. exception: * -[NSCFArray addObject:]: attempt to insert nil
If I quit Address Book, i'll get this from console;
2007-10-15 22:58:37.892 Address Book[417] -[ABAddressBook setDefaultCountryCode:] called with a unknown country code 'us'
I tried deleting the preferences, re-installing Address Book, also tried creating a new user, again no luck!
Can somebody help!!!
Please?!

Hi dp13.
Do you have any Address Book plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Address Book? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins ~/Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
<hr>
Did you also reinstall the appropriate Combo Update after reinstalling Address Book?
Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Strange Problem With Mail Leads to Strange Discovery in Console...

Hello,
I had a problem with Mail.app that seems to (sort of) be resolved: the 'Mail Activity' monitor indicated a changing download rate, but the progress bar never actually got going, an no mail was downloaded. I let it sit for a long time, searched around these forums, and ended up just erasing all my mailboxes and re-starting Mail fresh, which has at least temporarily solved the problem.
Over the course of my troubleshooting I ran the console, where I found this curious sequence of messages popping up every minute or so:
11/06/08 7:58:09 PM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.google.keystone.user.agent[381]) posix_spawn("/Users/**//Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resou rces/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent", ...): Permission denied
11/06/08 7:58:09 PM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.google.keystone.user.agent[381]) Exited with exit code: 1
11/06/08 7:58:09 PM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.google.keystone.user.agent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
11/06/08 7:58:19 PM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.google.keystone.user.agent[382]) posix_spawn("/Users/**//Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resou rces/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent", ...): Permission denied
I'm not sure if this was related to the original problem (it was a google account that was frozen in Mail), but I have a feeling my system would be better off without this endless loop running in the background.
Anyone know what it might be and how I might stop it?
Many thanks in advance.
Ian M.

Agreed - it is annoying!
One last question ... how should I edit the plist? Haven't done anything like that before, and I haven't used launchctl before either... this is what I've got in the plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Problems e-mailing photos

When I try and email photos from iphoto I get the following message "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination". I have no problem sending e-mail directly from the e-mail program but I can't attach photos. This seems to be since my upgrade to icloud last weekend but that may be just a coincidence.

Nope, no issues. Note it will not show up in your Outbox or Sent items right away. It will finally show up in your Sent Items only once it fully sent it. It may show up in your Outbox but only if it fails and comes up with an error messages saying it failed thus moved it to your Outbox.
The Photos app sort of has it's own email code and thus doens't show up in your Outbox or Sent right away. But does show up in Sent once it is done. It is also why if you send one pic then try to send another (before the other has finished) it will have Email Photo disabled. It can only do one at a time.

Problem e-mailing photos––Mail always chooses smallest size

Hello Mac community!
Whenever I try to e-mail a photo (whether selected from iphoto or elsewhere) my Mac Mail program always sends it in a smaller size. Momentarily the larger size will show up in the e-mail, but then in a flash it becomes small. This is a recent problem. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
Kind Regards,
Cyrus

Check the size setting in the bottom right corner of the new mail window.

Strange problem with mail

Hello
Had this problem twice now, Mail keeps quitting every time I launch it. The only way I have been able to get it working is to dump mails pref. and start all over again, which is a real pain. Any ideas way? Apart from this, mail been working really well.
paul.

Hello Paul.
Your problem is probably that there is a troublesome HTML message that causes Mail to crash. Every time you open Mail, it tries to revert to the state it was prior to crashing, which means trying to open the troublesome message again...
If that's the case, the reason trashing the preferences file temporarily solves the problem is because it causes Mail to forget what it was doing the last time it was running, and hence, it does not try to load the troublesome message upon start up the next time, but the problem isn't really the preferences file itself, so you haven't really fixed anything.
You'll have to identify which message is causing Mail to crash, and do this:
1. Launch Mail holding the Shift key down until the main window appears. This should prevent Mail from trying to select any mailboxes or load any messages upon starting up.
2. Go to Mail > Preferences > Viewing and disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if it's enabled -- having this setting enabled is a really bad idea for spam-related reasons anyway.
3. If the preview pane is visible in the main Mail window, drag the horizontal separator bar between the messages list pane and the message preview pane to the bottom of the window, or just double-click within the separator bar, so that the preview pane disappears and only the messages list is visible. This prevents Mail from trying to load a message when it is selected in the messages list pane.
4. You should now be able to select the message that's causing Mail to crash and delete it.
5. If you want to make the preview pane visible again, drag the horizontal separator bar up from the bottom of the window, or just double-click it again.
Let me know if that's really your problem or we should look at something else.

Strange problem pasting and backspacing in Mail.app

I've been having a strange problem in Mail.app when composing messages. Suppose I have a short, three-line message like this:
Hi John,
Here's the quote from Einstein:
Simple enough, right? So then I go to another application -- for example, Firefox -- to copy some text that I want to paste in. I put the text cursor at the point where I want to paste the text; in this example, after "Einstein:". I paste. And then it looks like this:
Hi John,
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
Here's the quote from Einstein:
That's right: it pastes the text ABOVE the line where I want it, instead of just on the same line. It doesn't matter if I choose regular "Paste" or "Paste and Match Style."
Now, I tried to be smart, and put a blank line below where I wanted to the text. When I paste it in, I get the pasted text below "Einstein:" just as you would expect. But if I click at the beginning of the pasted text, and then press backspace so it goes up to the previous line, then it jumps ABOVE the line I want and the result is identical to the one illustrated above.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. When I have copied text that I want to paste into an e-mail, I have to compose my messages elsewhere (usually BBEdit) and then paste them into Mail.app in their entirety. HELP!
Also, no: I have zero copy/paste problems in any other application. I have no clipboard add-on software, either.
(note that I'm at OS X 10.5.8 despite the "product" remark below)

I have the same problem. It also happens in notes.
Now I created a note in Mail on my Macbook and had this problem: Backspacing a line moved it above the previous paragraph. Then I opened the same note on my Ipad, and I did not have the problem, I could simply backspace the same line and it was connected to the end of the previous paragraph. What I did see in my Ipad note however was that the two paragraphs had a different font (which was not visible on macbook, until I edited it on my Ipad). Somehow my macbook mail creates unsolicited separate paragraphs, which use different invisble fonts, and these paragraphs may not be merged.
The same problem probably also causes email messages that I compose on my macbook to end up at the recipient in a very different font (i.e., lines/ paragraphs are larger and/or in different font.) than what I see when composing the message. This is really annoying, because it makes you look like a complete moron who is unable to compose a properly edited message.

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. Please help

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

Then no information exists. Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
Thanks!

OK....I'm stumped. The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account. Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
Here are the different scenarios.
-If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
-If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
-If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
-If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
-If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
-If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
-If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
What I can do:
- I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
-I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
-I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message. I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
-If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail. If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

Another problem that may be related….
I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location. Please choose a different location." I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard. I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) - but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into
and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there. This is what Barney previously posted about that:

Really strange problems by sending mail.

Exchange 2010 - missing mails moved by rules / strange problem

Hello,
one of our users has a pretty strange problem.
First of all, he has 12 rules (11 server-sided plus default for removing categories) and a HUGE folder-tree for about 1.5 years.
His tree looks like:
Inbox
-A
--1
--2
---a
---b
--3 Newsletter
--4
-B
--1
--2
--3 Newsletter
--4
...and so on for 192 folders
Other Stuff
-A
--1
--2
... and so on for 80 folders
Since this week, he complains about missing mails.
While investigating this problem, everything looks fine at first. Mails are stored to his mailbox successfully.
Later we found out, that he has rules to move incoming mails to his "--3 Newsletter" folders depending on sender (and no further processing) and was looking for exactly those mails.
But the mails were not visible in the target folder and neither in the inbox folder.
Using the search function on inbox, I was not able to find the mails. After checking the box for all subfolders, the mail was found. Hovering the mail I was told, that it is in the target folder - where for sure it wasn't.
Opening the mail from the search result and clicking on [File], "Inbox" was displayed as the current folder.
After re-running the matching rule, the mails were visible in the target folder. This worked for yesterday. New mails were moved successfully.
And today, we have the very same problem again. And again, I can quick-fix it by re-running the rules.
As I can see and "fix" this on his machine and on my admin machine, this can't be any local problem.
Any hints or solutions for that?
Our Exchange version 14.3.123.4
(Gosh, this input field is a huge pain in the ass! Why the hell does it automatically uppercase some words?)

AdminDisplayVersion : Version 14.3 (Build 123.4)
Where can I see which RU this is?
Outlook on his machine is configured with cache-mode, Outlook on my admin machine is configured for online-mode only
The Rollup installed (if any) is not shown in EMC or EMS.
See:
Dude, where's my rollup?

Mailing Photos Problem

I am not able to use Mail to send multiple photos from iPhoto version 4.0.3. In the past I have had no problems sending multiple photos. The error message that I get is as follows: "Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of content message id 95236640. Invalid index". I do not know what this error message means - I would really appreciate any advice that you can provide.
Thanks for your help.

This is a known issue with iPhoto 4 and 10.5. The workaround is to use the Photo browser in Mail, where you can drag multiple pics over:

Problems with Mail after upgrading to 10.9.1

I am running into problems with Mail after installing 10.9.1. I had NO problems with Mail prior to this update.
Problems I have encountered so far are:
- I don't receive some e-mails on my Gmail account.
- I have sent e-mails that supposedly got "sent" but do not show up in my Sent box both on mail and on web Gmail. My Outbox is empty also.
Has anyone encountered the same problems and found a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Yes Paul I have, but no solution. I cannot send email. My ISP uses a smtp mail server for sending and It will not log in. Have had ISP on phone and checked all settings. Can only put it down to Mavericks.
It worked OK for a week after upgrading then stopped. So now having to use web mail to send email.
Strange thing is I receive mail OK, just cant send.
