Why cant i attach files to emails I am sending?

All of a sudden Thunderbird will not allow me to attach files to outgoing emails. When i compose an email and either click on the paperclip icon or go to Files/Attach/Files, nothing happens. I can no longer get a Finder window (using Mac).

Nope. The other strange thing is that my tabs are acting a bit strange. In the past the main tab had my list of accounts and if I clicked on one of them it would switch the listing in the main window. Now I have to open up a new tab (control click and then select Open in New Tab) in order to be able to read the emails; otherwise everything freezes up.

Cannot attach files to emails

Over a year ago I could not attach a pciture to an outgoing email when using firefox as my browser and yahoo as my email. Then it started working again and now it is not working again. I type an email and try to attach a file and I cannot. If I sign in thru internet explorer I can attach the file without any problems. Any help would be appreciated on why I cannot attach a file to an emailk with firefox as my browser.

Just installed Pure 2.0 as an upgrade to Kas Internet Security on my ASUS pc laptop. Firefox 18.0.2 has automatically disabled Kas URL Advisor 12.0.1.311, Anti-Banner, and Virtual Keyboard. are these or any other issues w/Pure 2.0 responsible for suddenly corrupting Firefox or my webmail server's ability to attach files to emails just after i had installed Pure? i need your help determining whether that's the cause or simply correlation.
when i try to attach any file to an email message, my email pops up a blank window with the following address: http://md03.quartz.synacor.com/service/upload?fmt=extended
WHAT HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM: 1. a tech service call to my isp who thinks Kas Pure is the issue since all isp diagnostics check out ok. 2. disabling Pure didn't allow for attaching files. 3. neither did uninstalling it. 4. neither did re-installing using Kas-supplied recovery disk which then needed massive updates.
WHAT TEMPORARILY WORKED AROUND THE PROBLEM: 1. restarting Firefox with add-ons disabled. THIS mode allowed attachments, but isn't sustainable. 2. IN ADDITION, as i re-enabled add-ons ONE AT A TIME i could successfully send an email attachment AT EACH POINT. once all-ons were back on and i restarted the computer, the problem returned. 3. sending email with attachments from Internet Explorer (i will not return to that browser!). 4. sending email with attachments through the same isp using our iMac.
i will now try the fix mentioned above.

Trying to attach pdf files to emails I'm sending to myself. Instead of attaching the file, it copies the text. I want the file so I can have it on my iPad. I've been able to do this in the past, but not the last two tries. What's wrong? Thanks.

You aren't doing anything wrong.
If the PDF is short enough, your iPad Mail app will display the text as part of the mail.
Actually it is still an attachment.
Tap and HOLD on the text and you should see options to "Open In..." that will allow you to open the PDF in most PDF readers such as iBooks, GoodReader, etc.

Recently, I have not been able to attach files to emails using the MobileMe webmail system.

When trying to attach files to emails using the MobileMe webmail system, it lets me browse and click on a file but then does nothing and there is no actual attachment. It previously always worked. I checked with the MobileMe folks and they said it is a browser problem. (True, it works in Safari.) Any ideas on how to fix this? I prefer Firefox, of course.

Hi davebundy-
One suggestion I've heard is that ad block may be perceiving the mail client as an advertisement. The solution was to mark the webmail URL as safe with any ad block plugins or software you have. Hope that helps.

Can't attach files to emails

I recently upgraded to a G5 Dual 2GHz system running OS X Tiger. I am having trouble attaching files of any kind to email. I have email accounts with Charter High Speed Cable, and a SquirrelMail account with APlus.net (who hosts my Website).
On my older Beige G3 tower, I never had a problem. As soon as I got the new machine up and running, I lost the ability to attach files using either account.
I know it is a system issue of some sort, because I can attach files to emails from either account from remote locations. I can receive attached files, but can't send attached files.
Are there any known conflicts with Tiger that could be a culprit? Could it be fax software or Norton Antivirus?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After upgrade I cannot attach files to emails in mobileme.

upgraded to 7.0.1 and now I can't attach files to emails using mobileme.
I changed to Internet explorer and it works.

i have the same problem on a Mac after upgrading Firefox, no errors, just nothing is happening after clicking on the attachment button. I can add the attachment by drag and drop, but then the receiver tells me he or she received my message with a big red cross through the attachment.

My iMac wont attach files to email

iMac OS X 10.6.8
HELP! My iMac has stopped attaching files to email. I have tried yahoo and gmail on both safari and firefox. I havent had any issues until this week.

OK, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift key on your keyboard until a progress bar appears on the display. Let it fully boot in Safe Mode then, as mentioned early restart normally and re-test.
Also you can always use Google to search for things like "OS X Safe Mode start" and you will find Apple's instructions on-line.

'send to' widget? I need to send pdf without downloading and attaching to an email (one click send function)

Is there a 'send to' widget I can attach to a pdf document or form to send pdf without downloading and attaching to an email (one click send function)

From this conversation's thread it appears that Acrobat is not the application / service at issue.
As this user forum has as its focus "Acrobat" it seems that the OP is in the wrong place.
Acrobat's one click send feature provides the user a "draft" email. The user still has to process ("click") through steps with the email client/service to actually get the email out and on its way.
I'm sure that "one click" does everything is available somewhere. Considering all it'd have to do and do right it'd be rather expensive.
Be well...

Cant attach files to email

i have been using safari 2.0.3, everything has been working fine when just the other day i go to attach a file to an email i was sending out, it went to the safari can't open page and says this:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “http://by111fd.bay111.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/doattach”. The error was: “POSIX error: Is a directory” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:21) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
i have reported the bug, tried to attach it on my hotmail, yahoo, even other peoples addresses and it always says this. have tried to update, but i have all of them. so not sure what is up. any suggestions??? i need to send this!!!! thanks for all the help!

So is the problem with Hotmail?
I'm just guessing, but Safari 2.x is getting a bit old. It could be that it just can't handle hotmail anymore.
It's also possible that a re-install of Safari, or deleting Safari plist files could help. But, if everything works with FireFox and/or Camino, that would probably be the better route.

Attaching file to email by accessing email via safari

it seems that there is no button in the email (yahoo. gmail etc) interface page for attaching files to the email to be sent via safari. i.e. cannot attach file if u access mailbox via safari. is that normal? hear that you need to tap the pre installed "MAIL' app on the ipad, set-up the email mail box, and accessing mailbox via the "MAIL" app, then attaching file is possible. why is it so?

In order to attach a file in an email - the app it self must support it. For instance, you can email a Photo in the Photos app by selecting the photo that you want to email and then tap the curved arrow icon in the upper right corner and select the email option.
Apple's Pages for the iPad allows you to email files as well - but you have to do it from the Pages App itself. Other apps also support the feature but as Meg explained, you can't attach a file in web mail - at least I haven't seen how to do it.

Not able to attach files to email account from my hard drive

Firefox will not attach files (from my hard drive - mostly MS Word and PDF files) to my email accounts or job application sites. I tried using Internet Explorer and was able to attach files. So, the problem seem to be Firefox.
I prefer to use Firefox, so please help!

Try clear your recent history :
*[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history Clear recent history]
Also try attach in safe mode:

Why cant poll a file more than once using File Adapter..

Hi All,
When we run webservice, as I am using File Adapter to read/write the file information.
Usually, File Adapter reads once every file and it wont read again the same file whcih already red.
Where and How this status maintained by File Adapter/BPEL in the system.
Where this will be avvailable and why cant File Adapter read/poll the same file.
Pls can any one of you share your ideas on the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
Tried to get some information around where ftp adapter stores the timestamp but couldnt find anything useful.
But we have a table for File adapter which captures the processing information (FILEADAPTER_IN )
I dont have the setup for FTP adapter to run an example. If you could try the below we can clarify that the timestamp is not stored in memory.
Configure as usual for a folder with a file pattern for FTP adapter.
Drop a file to process it and then restart the SOA Suite and try to drop the same file with same timestamp to see wheather FTP adapter picks up or not.
Ideally i feel once you restart the SOA Suite it should pick up the file, if still not picks up the file for second time then we need to dig indepth to see where this information is stored.
btw what is your usecase ?
Thanks,
Vijay
