Using Mail to download from AOL, can't see photos in messages, help

We are using Mail to download our AOL account and can't seem to see photos in the emails even though they are being sent by another mac user. I did a search and saw this question was posted last Oct but no responses. Is there a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Zeke,
Welcome to the Discussions.
I do not have an AOL account to test with, but have you set your account up as an IMAP account?
At the top of the email, is there any banner about images not having been yet downloaded? In the Mail Preferences/Viewing what is your selection about displaying remote images in HTML messages?

    for starters this is not the forum for notebooks or for that matter icloud or iphone.

  • Downloaded 143 files, can't see photo's unless I click on edit.  Then I can see thumbnails on top, but can't view larger.  How do I recover them?  What did I do?  Never Happened before.

    I downloaded 143 photo's.  The photo's were visible.  Tried to burn to CD.  When CD finished.  The photo's were blank in iphoto and I have deleted the originals from my camera.
    If I click on one of the blank files in iPhoto and hit edit, I can see all of the photo's at the top of the screen in thumbnail size, but nothing appears in the large editing area. 
    Are my photo's lost?  How can I get them back?
    Thanks,
    Anthony

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
    Replying to Toad-Hall:
    I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
    How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
    The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
    I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
    What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

  • Hi there, i can't send letter using Mail on Mac with AOL mail.

    Hey there, i can't send letter using Mail on Mac with AOL mail. But i can receive all letters.
    Also using iCloud in Mail. What to do? Or maybe i can send letters only from iCloud/Me mail if i am using more than one mailbox in Mail?
    Thanks

  • Verizon Chat advises pdf attachment non-download from AOL email is a software problem and directs me to Apple Support. I see "can't access cellular data network" in an instant before the file's icon turns into the file's name.

    Verizon Chat advises pdf attachment non-download from AOL email is a software problem and directs me to Apple Support. I see "can't access cellular data network" in an instant before the file's icon is replaced by the file's name. In Inbox three emails in a row show there is an attachment. My iPad 3rd gen. runs 7.1.

    You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

    I just got a Touch 32GB yesterday and ran into the same problem. I have two PCs in the house that I can sync my iPods on, but I normally use one that DOESN'T have an internet connection, so that the one that does is free for others to use ... a great argument and tension solution, btw.
    Anyway, I hooked up the older "iTunes" PC to the net for a first-time sync with the Touch, and ran into this problem. First it kept detecting the Touch as an unidentified iPhone, then I couldn't sync my classic either. Then I found a post here about how when multiple USB ports running off same USB controller seem to screw with the Touch/iPhone syncing.
    So I disconnected all but 2 of my USB 2.0 slots (the Touch & the Portable HD with my iTunes Library) and now it's working perfectly. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try.

  • I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up. I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest. any suggestions

    weird.
    It's so frustrating, I got my Mac Book 5 days ago and I'm already having a discussion in the forum.
    Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
    It's past midnight here so I'd better get some rest...

    Hi Mariah ~
    It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
    Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
    I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
    So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
    If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
    I'll do the same for you.
    Enjoy your day and good luck.
    Shaunn

  • Can any one tell me when i use adobe flash media encoder how can i see my live vidoes on flash media

    can any one tell me when i use adobe flash media encoder how can i see my live vidoes on flash media server . thnx

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • I am trying adobe Photoshop and adobe illustrator because I can't decide which one to buy so I want to try both, after I downloaded Photoshop I can not see the option "free trial" for adobe Illustrator, it is because I can only free try one at the time??

    Bryan,
    You can download both at the same time.
    But you may wish to start off with one and use it full time, then download the other later, so you get the maximum possible time with both.
    If you have trouble getting the free trial on the Adobe site, you may try here or here:

  • I would like to see history on my form from Day 1, currently I can only see partial history! Help!

    I would like to see history on my form from Day 1, currently I can only see partial history! Help!

    Hi;
    Is the form a form that was shared with you or one that you created originally?  The History you see is from the point you had access to the form, so if the form was shared with you it would only show history from that point forward.
    If this doesn't explain what you see you can email me the link to your form at [email protected] and I will see if we can see anything.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

    when I download from my samsung camera, the photos do not go to the "photos" file. I have to download to "import" then copy them to a separate album.  what am I doing wrong?are

    Is iPhoto open when you connect the camera and are you seeing the camera in iPhoto? 
    If not then describe in detail how you're going about trying to import photos from your Samsung camer into your iPhoto Library.  From what you've described we have no idea what's going on.
    And where is this "import" folder located that you're referring to?
