Unloaded images in mac mail

My mac mail recently has been giving me the "this message contains unloaded images" every time I get an email unless it is just text. I haven't changed any preferences or security of any kind. Does anyone else have this problem?

I don't think it's a problem, because those images are probably from an HTML email message and your Preferences are probably set not to load them when opening a message. If that's the case, there should be a button at the top right of the message window to load those images.
Also, are you still running 10.4.7 as your profile states? If so, you need to upgrade to 10.4.11 immediately and update your profile; this will fix a number of bugs an security vulnerabilities, as well as letting you run the latest version of Safari.

No images in Mac Mail

I used to be able to see images in Mac Mail. I think it stopped after upgrading to Lion. Now the e-mail looks like this:
Instead of this:
And yes, I have checked the "display images in remote HTML:
Any advice? This has been going on for months! Thanks!

If you view the full headers of the message, what is its "Content-Type"? If it's text/plain, that would be the problem: HTML email should be text/html. If it's multipart/alternative, make sure you're viewing the HTML alternative.
Under View in the Menu bar, select Message > All Headers to get Content-Type.
Is it all emails or emails from specific senders?
Are the emails forwarded?

Attaching jpg images in Mac Mail - sending to a PC

I've been looking for some current information on this problem. Most of the posts seem to be years old. Is there a working solution to attach images to an email and allow a PC user to download them like a regular attachment?

I am having the same problem with only a select few of clients. Sending pdf - fine, they arrive as attachments. Send a jpg and they are embedded within the email and they have to copy and paste the image out of their email into another program - thus risking the quality of their computers capacity to provide a good image. Then another client has no problem. Read everything, click on everything. I can buy a iconizer, but why do I need to buy a program to simple get the jpg to the client. And why do I need to read every post back to 2003 on why Outlook does this so I can use my simple - attach file within the mac mail. So now I have to go within my computer - control click and save the file into a zip - sometime adding another folder to group them all together. More clutter on my computer.
This is what is frustrating. Go on mac posts to find answers - they have you click on all these buttons and stuff. Go to pc outlook google searches and they have them clicking and doing all sorts of fixes. Can't these two computer software groups figure this out.
If it was happening on every client - then I would think it was me. If was happening on every outlook client - I mean everyone outlook receiver - then it is outlook, but it only happens with a few. What button within outlook does the client need to click on or off - it is that simple.
I might sound frustrated but I'm not. By the post out on the net that I read - this is happening a lot but no one specific answer seems to work. And it is all related to me with the client's outlook email service.

Images in mac mail (reading pane especially)

When I open mac mail (and sometimes the internet) images do not automatically resize to fit the screen (reading pane). I have to scroll around to see the full image. I have tried adjusting the panes and font size, but it doesn't work. This normally occurs with newsletter type emails. Does anyone know how to get the emails to fit the page again? They remain not correctly sized when I open them out of the reading pane to full size as well (meaning I still have to scroll around). Font only emails seem to not be affected.
I did not have this problem until the Genius bar erased my user id and created a new account last weekend.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

PDF images visible in Adobe but not Preview or Mac Mail's Quick Look

I have a PDF that I am inserting an ad into. I copy and paste the ad from one PDF into another. The problem I am having is when I have the final 10-page PDF with the ad inserted in it, you can open the 10-page PDF in adobe and the ad will be visible, but if you open it in Preview or using Mac Mail's Quick Look, the ad isn't there. When I open the original file with the ad in it (that I copied and pasted the ad from) in Quick Look or Preview, the ad appears. I need to know why the ad isn't showing up after it is copy and pasted into a new PDF?
files can be viewed below or at this address:
http://6letters.com/help/
"lanai3_Grand Jewels-001Winning.pdf" is the document I am copying the ad from
"lanai_122211.pdf" is the document I am pasting the ad into. The ad is on page 10. The ad is viewable in Adobe Acrobat but not in Preview or Mac Mail's Quick Look.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (version 9.4.6) to do the copy/paste/save.
I just clicked the above link and the ad doesn't show up online now either. It is supposed to be in the blank space on page 10.
Any help much appreciated!!!!!!

Hi,
Acrobat 9 and older versions paste images as a stamp/comment which (that poorly functional) Preview cannot see, so you need to "flatten" the page if you want to see a pasted picture in Preview.
(Preview, Mail and QuickLook shares the same rendering library)
You can easily flatten one or several pages in a PDF using this free tools: http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=717

TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has. One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

SUDDENLY - IMAGES NOT SHOWING UP IN MAC MAIL

Suddenly, just in the last few days, my Mac Mail isn't showing any images in the messages themselves in any of my accounts. What setting could be the cause? I have checked, "Display remote images in HTML messages", but that doesn't seem to help. Where there should be images are instead "?" marks.
I've checked Little Snitch for any connections that were being blocked as well as my Mail preferences and nothing is solving the issue. It's happening on both of my PPC computers running 10.5.8.
Mail version 3.6 (936)
Thanks a million for any help or advice.

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.

Forwarding from Mac mail to iPhone images not displaying

When Forwarding from my iMac mail to my iPhone, the images are not displaying on the iPhone.
If I save the image from the email I wish to forward, in mac mail, then attach it to a new email and send it to the iPhone it displays perfectly!
Any ideas as to why? Maybe another bug?

I tried that. It does not work for me. I get a few books to appear from iTunes into iBooks. Getting them into iBooks on the Mac has never been the problem There are lots of way to do that. The problem is, they STILL not not sync with my iPad. And now they are gone from iTunes so i am not sure what is going to happen the next time I try to sync the iPad with iTunes. Luckily I have a Time Capsule backup so I can restore if I have to.
I guess the bottom line, based on several other threads, is the only solution is to kill iBooks, move it to an obscure corner of your Launch Pad (since you can't totally delete it) and go buy an third party app that will work. Apple has release several updates to Mavericks, and so far there is nothing on the horizon about restoring any of the sync ability that Mavericks took away - iTunes sync wirelessly with the iPad and iPhone, or, like here, iBooks syncing across Apple platforms.

Mac Mail resizing (compressible?) images

I have been using Mac Mail to send images for a few years now. I am fully aware of the Image Size Option in the bottom right hand corner of Mail when an image has been attached. I use this feature often. Recently, the Large and Medium settings are too small. It reduces my 4.1MB image down to 108 KB for Large and Medium, and 70K for Small. In doing research on these forums I came across a discussion about "compressible" images. What does that mean, and what would be making them (suddenly) un- or non-compressible such that this Mail setting would not work properly?
In testing, I tried to send an un-edited image. In this case Mail works as it should, resizing the attached image reasonably, with four size options. My edited images seem to cause the problem. I edit in Photoshop (CS3) and always have. I can't remember another time when this has not worked as it should. I am wondering if this is a problem created by a recent update.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Any insight, or fix, would be greatly appreciated.

And only when it says Actual Size will the file be right. If it's set on small, medium or large files size will be reduced and will be turned into jpegs, no matter what the original version was.
So open up an email and attach a file and look at what it says. If it says anything but Actual size the file is already altered. So change it to actual size and save as draft, which you can then delete.
Then next time you attach an image it should say Actual Size because it defaults to whatever was last used. If it still changes then the file is probably too big, most emails have size limits and it's different for every service, so you have to check not only your own but the receiver of the email because if it's past their limit they will never get it.

Mac Mail No Images

You have brought sanity back to my life. Like a mosquito that won't stop me leaving me alone this minor annoyance of not being able to see images in Mail but most of all being unable to figure out why this was the case was really driving me to distraction! Thanks for snitching on Little Snitch!

Image Size pop up menu missing in Mac Mail

Hi all,
I've just noticed a very frustrating problem with my mac mail which seems to have started recently, for no apparent reason. I have made no updates to my mac mail at all.
Basically when I attach and image to a new email, there used to be a pop up menu appear in the bottom right of the window where you can select the size of the image - small, medium, large or actual size.
This has randomly disappeared!
I cannot find any settings in the preferences for it to reappear. I have made no changes that would have caused this - at least not knowingly.
Any ideas as to how I can get the image size pop up menu to reappear when I am attaching images to a new email?

Well, it seems I have solved the problem. After searching all afternoon for a solution i thought i'd try the last thing on the list - quit mac mail and re open.
It worked!
The Image Size pop up menu now appears again when images are attached to the email.
Despite this, id still like to know what I did to remove it.
Any idea?

Mac mail not displaying complete images

Hi. For some reason, mac mail (on Lion) has started to cut off images I receive on emails. It will display about the top 10% of the image and the rest in greyed out. I've tried opening the image on various bit of software and it's always the same. However, if I look at the same mail on the ipad then the image in the mail displays fine.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Mac Mail Signature Image Resolution-HELP!

I have a shiny new retina MBP...I created a signature for Mac Mail that looks crisp...until I created my first email. The image in the signature is now grainy! I read that Mac Mail doesn't play well with 300 dpi images. So, I have reduced it to 100 dpi and then 72...I have also used jpg, png, and tif files. All result in this grainy look.
Has anyone found a solution to get an image be retina compatible in the signature?
Thanks!

Definitely is your problem.
The image will not show up on anyone else's computer, but your own if it is fetched locally.
You should be able to paste the the image address in the browser and the image should render independent of Mail.
That is the nature of html mail, it reaches out to fetch the images in the mark-up.
addendum: if you do not have active server space available to host your image, there are many alternatives. Dropbox public file is one example. The public link can be copied and pasted into the html .mailsignature

Mac Mail has problems to display HTML embedded images

Well Im new here , but have a real problem.
I create HTML pages with embedded images and send them off as MIME/multipart etc. mail through active server pages.
So far so good. All PC users see the mails with 2 embedded images at correct positions using windows e-mail .
However all Mac users receiving this mail have a problem, then MAC mail show embedded images just as a box , the 2 images become attachements of the email.
If a PC user forwards such a received HTML e-mail to a MAC user , the MAC Mail sees the 2 images are correctly displayed.
Thanks for hints and comments .

Hello BDAqua
Thanks for the dump hint - I could use it.
Well I have not been able to track down the exact cause of the problem, but at the end I have succeeded to see the pictures even on the Mac. Initially , because I tested the HTML code against Safari/Foxpro/IE9 with success and the PC's received it as a mail perfect with the pictures , I ruled out the code.
After sending it with various different parameters for 7-bit coding , multipart/alternative; multipart/mixed, with and without alternative ascii-text body, etc. and having no change of the problem (in one instance Mac stuck the pictures at the end of the mail instead of having it as attachement - but never displayed inside the page) I thought about the HTMLcode again (the mail small but was consisting of a cluster of multi nested tables, where in the pictures where placed). I started from scratch with one simple table and one picture - and saw it also on the Mac, so repeated reconstruction every table layer and picture with testing each step again - and at the end - it worked all. So my conclusion is that the mentioned browsers and windows mail are made more HTML fault tolerant for little code mistakes than mac mail. It seems that when forwarding the page from windows-mail to Mac mail , windows even corrects and thats why then it was seen ok on the Mac.
I think that a number of people had similiar experiences. I contacted one advertising company (all Mac freaks and only Mac's there, they do a lot of Internet/Intranet design and develeopments for large companies) and asked them wether they know of any hints or problems - they simply said forget it it's not possible - which is not true - but seeing the HTML correct in all browsers doesn't mean it might ok for the mac mail.
Well any way I now know where I am and know where to look if suddenly a picture is not shown anymore...
Thanks for the help and all the best.
