Unable to attach multiple files to an email in Safari using Macbook Pro 2011

Is anyone else having this issue?  Safari won't let me select multiple files to attach to an email.  I can attach more than one file, but I have to attach them one at a time.  Is there a setting I need to change or something??

I am having exactly the same issue as debsdesign.  The email I am using is yahoo.  I've tried both Safari and Firefox and it makes no difference.  I am using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
So to reiterate the problem - I want to attach multiple files at once to an email message I want to send.  I have tried to do the following:
1. Select 'Attach file" in my email message
2. In 'Finder' I have found a list of files I want to attach
3. I can only select one file at a time and "choose" them individually - I have 16 files.  I have tried holding down the SHIFT key and selecting the last file in the list.  I have also tried holding down the COMMAND key and selecting each file in turn.  Nothing works!
Is there a way to do this on a Mac??
Many thanks

    What's wrng with that code snipnet?

    This works fine with me, try it or compare it if you want.
    public void sendEmail( String from, String to,
    String subject, String body) {
    fMailServerConfig.put("mail.smtp.host", " <<mail server>>");
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( fMailServerConfig, null );
    MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage( session );
    try {
    message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
    message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
    new InternetAddress(to));
    message.setSubject( subject);
    message.setText( body);
    //Adds Attechment:
    Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
    BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    messageBodyPart.setText("Here are my attachments");
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
    messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    //first attachment
    DataSource source = new FileDataSource("C:\\img1.jpg");
    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
    messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor1.jpg");
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
    //Second attachment
    DataSource source2 = new FileDataSource("C:\\img2.jpg");
    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source2));
    messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor2.jpg");
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
    //etc...
    message.setContent(multipart);
    Transport.send( message );
    }catch (MessagingException e){
    System.err.println("Cant send mail. " + e);
    The error on your code might be:
    BodyPart messageBodyPart1=new MimeBodyPart();
    DataSource source1=new FileDataSource(filename1);
    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source1));
    messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename1);
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart1);
    You don't need to create a new BodyPart, and apart from that you'r seting values on "messageBodyPart" but adding "messageBodyPart1" to your multipart :P
    Well see u and have a good one!
    p.s. i know it's a little late from the day you posted, but at least it might help somebody else :D .

  • All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing

    All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing. The email will show no attached file and then freezes and I am unable to add any content to body of email or change any of the content. I have to just delete the email and start over. If I zip the file it will show up in the body of the email and I am able to add content and send the email. This just stared happening, I had not changed any preferences or anything so I have no idea what happened.

    Want to explain - makes no sense  since they share the exact same library
    It actually that details are critical since we know nothing about your configuration or situation except what you choose to share with us  --  including what "everything you can think of" is

  • Unable to attach a file to the email

    I am trying to attach a file using mail.app. When I click on attach(paper clip icon) then I am unable to traverse down to a sub-directory and to a file, instead mail.app attach the entire directory as an attachment. Is this a limitation with OS X? Again I tried the same with Sparrow to no avail.
    Only way is to open a finder window and drag file to the email message.
    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated?
    Thanks,
    Paddy

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How do you attach multiple pictures to an email? I use yahoo, presently I copy and paste each pic separately , having to go back and forth from my pics and email. I know there's an easier way. I currently use an iPad 2 and this is my first apple product.

    Hello, Firefox's pop-up blocker may have prevented the file upload window from opening. Please try adding Gmail to your list of allowed sites by following the steps below:
    # Click on the 3-bar menu button and choose '''Options'''.
    # Select the '''Content panel'''.
    # Click on the '''Exceptions''' button next to Block pop-up windows.
    # In the Allowed Sites window, type in mail.google.com in the address field, then click '''Allow''' to add it to the list.
    # Click '''Close''' to finish.

  • Why can't I attach any files to my email

    I downloaded firefox 5 and yesterday, and now I am unable to attach any files to my email.
    I create artwork and can not attach any illustrator or photoshop files. Why?

    I just solved my own problem a few minutes ago. There was a little switch on the bottom of the Traveldrive. Locked or unlocked (the little lock symbols were so small I couldn't read them without a magnifying glass.
    Thank you for responding, sorry to trouble you.

  • I suddenly cannot attach any file to an email whilst using Firefox 5.

    My preferred browser is Firefox 5, which I have been using trouble-free until now. All of the sudden, I am unable to attach any file to an email. I simply get a file loading attempt that never times out. At first I thought it was a Yahoo problem, but my work email server will not add attachments either. I downloaded Google Chrome just now as a test, and still can't add attachments. Might this be a Windows problem? Anyone run into this? Thank you. I am my own IT department and it is sad... Katherine

    Try clearing your browser cache.

  • Ipad 4: how do I attach multiple file types to an email?

    Hello,
    I have seen multiple threads on this topic saying you can only do attachments in an email (other than photos or videos) by going to the app that holds the file and emailing it from there (ex: go to adobe reader or ibooks to email a PDF). This work around seemed sufficient for some people but I have need to attach a JPG, PDF and .doc to a single email. How do I do this within the ipad's built in email app? Is this impossible and if so are there other free email apps that someone can reccmmend?
    I find the ability to only email files from within its parent app to be cumbersome and not in keeping with Apple's style of making one's life easier and more efficient. In fact this seems woefully backward and goes back to the early days of computing. I get it that emailing from within a particular app is necessary but so is the ability to attach multiple file types from within the email app. :-(
    So frustrated!!

    The GoodReader App can manage files and create emails consisting of multiple files types.

  • How to attach multiple file in one mail

    Hi,
    I've problems with sending multiple files via Gmail account (Ipad version)  When sending the photo or video, I've to just click the photo and choose send to mail one by one. Any simpler way?  Sometimes i did sent both mpg and jpg but the reciepient didn't see any attachment too
    Anyone can help advise how to attach different file (doc, video, photo) in one mail will be a lot appreciated. Thank you so much

    You can attach multiple pictures to an email on an ipad2. Don't know about original iPad.
    Choose a photo or take a screen shot (hold down home button and button next to volume control at same time--screen shot now will appear in photos).
    Go to photos and edit your picture or screen shot, save it, then hold down on the image and copy it.
    Go to mail, create a new mail and paste it in.
    Save you mail as a draft.
    Go back to photos and select a different photo, copy it, and return to your draft, and paste it in. Repeat if you need to add more.
    Anything that you can take a screen shot or have an photo of can be pasted in one at a time into that draft email.
    If mail gets uncooperative, during this process, then double click on home button and quit multitasking mail, then open up mail again and send your draft. Uncooperative means gets frozen.

  • Attaching photos to Apple Mail - error when attaching multiple files

    Hello,
    My iPhoto just recently started giving me an error whenever I try to attach multiple files to Apple Mail. The error says:
    "Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of
    content of outgoing message id 321072192.
    Invalid index."
    The only option allowed is to cancel. When I look at my Apple Mail it has created a message with the first selected photo attached, but none of the other photos are there. Any ideas of how to correct this? Is this an email client issue?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    This is a problem between iPhoto 4 and 10.5.
    The workaround is to use the Photo Browser on the new Message Window in Mail, just drag the pic over from there:

  • Mii attach multiple files in one e-mail

    Hello everyone
    This is Yuko.
    There are two MII may have a problem with email attachments.
    1. Once you attach multiple files in one e-mail
    Please tell me how this
    2. Can not be above 1, and compiled into a single ZIP file.
    Now, I can attach multiple files in one e-mail,
    When you extract the ZIP, just made away with the file directory path is created,
    you can not open the attachment and open the folder several times.
    Anyone know a solution to this problem, please tell me.

    Kevin, Thanks for answers.
    My English is poor. Sorry.
    Your answer is, we assume that the permit issue, and probably would not matter. Again, write the points in need.
    For example, the two CSV when put together in one ZIP file, the workbench in the CSV file to specify the full path. CSV file, the workbench under the Web folder and then five in the second tier. At this time, who received an email with this attachment is to open the attachments, ZIP and open the file, open the following folder hierarchy, the next ..., and, many times to open the folder , will finally open a CSV file. Many times without opening the folder you want to open a CSV file.
    We look forward advice.

    Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.
    System requirements are found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
