Why can't I send animated GIFs anymore?

About a month ago I lost the ability to copy and paste animated GIFs through Macmail?
Anybody else experience this?
I have Snow Leopard (I think...) and always just update when it tells me to update.
Thanks.

How exactly are you trying to attach the animated gifs to your mail?
I just did send me successfully an animated gif from my Laptop running Lion and also from my laptop running Snow Leopard. I just dragged the gif from the Finder into the Message.
So what are you doing differently, and what is the error message you get?
Regards
Léonie

  • Can't send animated .gif files

    Hi - hope you can help. I have tried everything! I receive wonderful moving animations via email but when I go to forward them either to myself (to check) or to others, they are received as still pics, e.g. someone sent me a picture of a guy throwing a snow ball at the screen (quite impressive) via email. I forwarded it to others but it's just a picture of a guy holding a non moving snow ball. There must be something wrong with my .gif file - Can you help?? Thanks

    Unfortunately 10.3's version of Mail does not handle sending out HTML, which is necessary for animated gifs. This is a weakness of this version of Mail because it can receive stuff in HTML, just not send it.
    10.4 Tiger's Mail can set things in HTML, so you can add hotlinks and animated gifs to the email, but alas not with Panther's version, so for us it just appears as a still image in our emails. You would need to buy Tiger to get this facility.
    Perhaps you could afford it with some of those mining royalties over there in WA

  • Why can't I send a picture in the e mail?

    In the last couple days I can only send picture as an attachment.If I browse or drag any picture into the e mail the picture will be deleted by Avast or Thunderbird. I have turned Avast off and sent an e mail with a picture and the picture got deleted. I can only think Thunderbird getting rid of my pictures and also not let my friends send me a picture.
    How could that be?
    Ed

    I set up another e mail account with Outlook and was able to send a picture to my Thunderbird address intact. Just now I stopped my virus protector Avast altogether and sent a picture to my Outlook address from Thunderbird and the picture was deleted.
    The reason I'm searching for the answer here to remedy this problem because most people I'm sending family pictures are not computer smart and they cannot open attachments to look at the pictures. On the other hand if the pictures are visible in the e mail they can share memories with me.
    So again why can't I send pictures in Thunderbird anymore yet a week ago it was not a problem. This is another topic besides when typing an e mail and the font will change for no apparent reason.

  • Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))

    Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))
    It functioned well originally, but a month ago I could not use facetime and send i-message anymore. I think there is nothing wrong with my apple ID because I can still download apps in apple store.

    Try turning both iMessages and Facetime off in SETTINGS then re-enable iMessages and then Facetime. See if that helps.

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

    Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
    This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
    Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

    Sorry ?
    An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
    Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
    If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
    I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.

    Why can't I send an email to a "group" if I have a group in my address book??

    You are not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, that's just the way that the built in mail app works. It really is a basic no frills mail app with not much to offer compared to other apps.
    There are third party apps that let you create groups and email to those groups. I don't use either of these, but I've seen them recommended here in the past.

    Why can't I send a code to reset my security questions but I have a rescue email address?

    If you have a rescue email address on your account then you will see a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you only have alternate/secondary email addresses on your account then you won't get the reset link, an you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then add one for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620

  • Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings. Sometimes that can get turned off during an update, if you recently did that. Next try would be a reset. If that doesn't help, then contact the carrier, as SMS and MMS are carrier specific functions.
