Why do Apple Mail attachments not show in SENT?

I use Mountain Lion OSX10.8.2 on a 27" iMac/1TB HD/12GB RAM.
When I write an Apple Mail email and attach a jpg (for example),
I am never sure if the attachment was sent.
Apple Mail will not show me in SENT that there was an attachment.
There is no record of the attachment on the previous sent email.
Am I missing something? How the heck am I suppose to know if
ANY attachment was sent or not?

Hmm I thought this got sorted out in 10.8 but maybe not.
I asume you are in full screen, with the three column view?
If you change to classic you should see the attachment paper clip?
What I had to do for a work-a-round was create a "rule." Even with this you have to right click the selected sent box>> apply rules

  • Problems with Apple Mail attachments not showing in Outlook

    I am experiencing problems when using the new Apple Mail 5.0 (with OSX Lion) to send PDF attachments. The recipient using MS Outlook on a PC will see the email, see the attachment icon (paper clip) but they cannot click to open the attachment.
    It's like the attachment was stripped off the email.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

    I also have this problem, it seems to be something to do with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22343 but I cannot find the "View in Place" or "View as Icon"  options. Anyone had any luck?
    This however, maybe the cause (with no real solution but to switch to plain text format): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesoftwareupdate/thread/7 98ae640-9091-44c9-b663-63152eb2f0fe/

  • Apple mail inbox not showing all new gmail

    When checking gmail through apple mail some mail is showing in archive, some in important, some in other folders, but NOT in the actual inbox itself.
    Running Yosemite and all up to date.
    Any clues as to why?

    Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • Email sent with attachments not showing in sent folder

    I have recently found that emails I send with an attachment do not show up in my sent folder. They are arriving at recipient but I do not then have a record of the email sent.  This is really very annoying and I can see a few other poplin online forums are having the same problem.  However nobody seems to have come up with a solution.  It appears I have to cc myself in to the mail and then move it to my sent folder when it arrives. I can't keep doing this.  Other emails without attachments are showing in the sent box.  Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this please.

    Didn't work for me... (rebuilding the mailbox)
    I cleaned the Sent mailbox and rebuilt the culprit mailbox and the general "Sent" mailbox.... sent a message.. it 'hung' in the Outgoing Message box for @ 20 seconds and it sounded as if it were sent and when checking the Sent mailbox for that account, it did not show.... I tested this again with another message addressed to myself and it sent as expected and showed in the Sent mailbox for the account... Did another test to a different recipient and the message sent as expected and showed in the Sent mailbox... The only corrollary that exists at this stage, is the recipient of the "disappearing" messages is that I email this particular recipient very regularly and at times with long threads... However, these last messages were completely different subjects and previous replies to this persons email sent as expected.... so this is a random occurrence.

  • Mail attachments not showing as icons but as blue square with ? in

    This is probably going to sound very odd but recently all attachments that I send or forward come up with the attachment showing as a blue block with question marks on the site - something like a piece of lego.
    Anyone got any ideas what the problem is and how to resolve it?
    Thanks
    Mail version 2.1.2 (753)
    OS 10.4.11

    As a follow-up, Apple did help.
    Called Tech Support and spoke at length with Mujahid. He went through the system carefully and confirmed (by creating another 'user account') that the problem was 'system wide'. He then requested that I trash the current Mail application and re-install Mail from the disks that were provided with the iMac. I then restarted the iMac, opened Mail (now v2.1.1), created a test email and attached a jpeg...............
    Eureka! Problem solved. No more blue lego cubes with question marks.
    It doesn't explain how the problem arose in the first place and I don't know if it will recur if I upgrade to Mail v2.1.2 I did use the 'migration assistant' when moving files over from the old laptop with 10.3.9 and it may have been that something nasty crossed over. Anyway, its fixed now.
    All hail Mujahid.

  • Mail attachments NOT showing in header as in Snow Leopard

    This has to deal with incoming attachments.
    Snow Leopard Maikl has a line in the header that said "1 Attachement, 534KB"  and a grey disclosure triangle that would show the attachments as icons.
    I cannot find this anywhere in Lion Mail.  Does anyone know how to activate this?  It's a real pain in the a s s to sift through the body of the email for attachments when just clicking the disclosure triangle was so much more efficient. 

    Interesting.
    I have such this info displayed on my emails with attachments.
    Do you see the "Details" thingy at the upper right hand corner of the message window?
    If so, click on it.

  • Why are my (mail) accounts not showing in notes?

    i have been having problems with my iphone notes NOT syncing with my ipad and macbook.  so i deleted all the notes on my iphone (after printing them) and now nothing shows in notes--not even my different email accounts to choose from.  notes doesn't show my gmail accounts and not even the iCloud accout.
    can anyone help me with this PLEASE!!!!!

    You may need to restore your phone to fix this.  If you want a second opinion bofore doing so make an appointment with the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store to have them take a look at it.  If you do decide to restore your phone, be sure to create a current backup first.  (It's much faster if you do this in iTunes by clicking Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Also in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.  Finally, if you have any photo stream photos that are older than 30 days that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before restoring backing up your phone by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.)

  • Why is my mail icon not showing unread email messages?

    For some reason, my mail icon is no longer showing my badge icon displaying the number of unread emails I have.  Within mail, next to my mailbox, it no longer shows the number of unread emails either even though there are clearly email messages with the blue dot indicating they're unread.  Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    Open Mail, go to top and under Mail select Preferences. Click on general and make sure where it says 'Dock Unread Count, you have it set to Inbox Only or All Mailboxes, whichever you want and that it isn't set to none. If it is already set then try cetting it to none, close mail, restart, open Mail and go and change it again from none to what you want.
    Good Luck

  • Mail attachments not available when sent

    Attaching files in Mail, either by drag and drop, or using the "Attach" button on the "New Message" window, seems to work on the iMac, but when the files are sent and opened in Outlook Express on Windows XP, or online (Gmail) with a browser, only a thumbnail shows up. A reply for that message, coming from a Windows machine, contains the attachment as would have been expected. This problem occurs on two iMacs using the same operating system. Both are set to send emails as Windows-friendly attachments, and both have been updated to the latest version. Using thunderbird causes no such problems. Anyone else having the problem?

    It's the way Mac Mail is designed, it embeds images and attachments rather then actually attaching them.
    What you can do however is have a look at Attachment Tamer, it changes the default behaviour of mail to attach rather then embed which i think is what you're looking for.

  • Attachments not showing as attachments in mail

    Why are my attachments not showing up as attachments when recieved. They are sent from Mail as windows "friendly" - but never the less always show up inlaid in the mail. The recipient then have to ctrl clik on the documents, save them on the harddrive before being able to fx print.
    very annoying indeed - please can anyone help on this :-)

    thanks for quick responce - but the problem lies with the recievers of MY mails - where the attachments is only inlaid and not showing as an attachment. The reciever then have problems opening attachments in i.e. Photoshop, and they cannot print the attachments directly from the mail..

  • Why apple tv does not show in itune?

    why apple tv does not show in itune?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you have the Apple TV 1.
    Often a restart of ALL your equipment will help, it may also be a result of instaling or updating security software (check your security settings).
    If problems persist, navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • My Apple TV does not show up under devices, and more.

    Okay, firstly, I am relatively new to Apple ptoducts.  I was recently purchased an Apple TV and a 27 inch iMac by my lady.  And yes, I realize how amazng she is.  She bought me these gifts to ensure that the last two and the next 4 months go by smoothly.  I was struck by a car while it was doing 65+ mph, than struck again by the same car, than ran over and jumped off of.  Yeah.... So needless to say I have severe brain damage, lost memory, a leg that is now 52% titanium and worse, I can not use my right arm.... for now, it may recover with the next two years.  so, I tell you this for a little "guilt" but mostly to excuse the formatting of this email.  It was typed entirely on my iMac and entirely using one hand, and not my primary hand at that.
    I am not new to iTunes, I had a few purchases before this issue.  Between those purchases and my Apple TV "FUN" I have amassed quite a few: Seasons of TV and Movies. 
    1:   When I log in to my Apple TV, I can see all of the purchases that I made using both the Apple TV and those that I made previously using iTunes on my Windows based PC.  All is well.  They are organized by type and sorted perfectly.  That plus they stream quicky and completely.
    2:   When I turn on my iMac and start iTunes, I do not see my TV seasons or Movies under the "Library" section on the left side of my iTunes screen.  I see the options, they are simply empty.  I see no content listed within them.
    3:   I can however select the "Purchased" option under the "Store" section on the left hand side of the screen.  Once inside that options area, I can click on "Download Previous Purchases" in the lower right hand corner of the screen.  From there I can see all of my purchased TV and Movies, including those that I had previously purchased on my old windows PC and those purchased recently on my Apple TV set.  That and I can download them and make them available to my iMac version of iTunes.
    5:   I am unable to see my Apple TV listed under the "Devices" section.  I also do not see the "Devices" section at all, however I assume that is because it is currently emty.
    QUESTIONS:
    A:   Can you stream data such as TV seasons or Moies while using iTunes on an iMac.  Similar to the way that you stream them from your iTunes purchase histor while viewing them on an Apple TV?  Or do I need to download them inorder to view them?
    B:   Is Apple TV shown under connected devices while it is connected to the Wi-Fi netwok?  I can see my Iphone under devices when I connect it with a cable to my iMac.  So I know that my devices section is working.  I simply fear that my Appl TV is not showing up brcause of existing issues.
    NOTES:
    A:   All of my devices are updated with the latest available drivers.
    B:   My Apple TV, iMac and iPad all work on the same Wi-Fi network.  That and they are all connected to the same iTunes account.
    C.   My lady is using a different login for the iMac.  Her iTunes is setup but is not usng my iTunes account, it is using her account and has access to her DATA.  When I log in to the iMac, my iTunes is working and is different from the iTunes that is operating under her username.
    Ok Guys..and Gals please help me out.  The thing is, none of this is truly effecting me in a substantial manor.  I can see my purchase history, I can download parts of it to my iMac via iTunes, and my Apple TV is smoooooooth.  I mainly need clarification on the questions that I asked.  Can I stream using the iMac, should I see my Apple TV under devices, and why do I not see my DATA under the library section of iTunes?
    THANK YOU for you time.  Remember, I am relatively new to Apple as a product.  And I fricking LOVE it. 
    When I was in my accident, my arm, my leg, my skull, my brain, my clothing, my key chain and my wallet, were all destroyed.  But my iPhone survived.  I have records both police and medical to prove this.  The one way I had to have any initial memory of my friends and family was in that phone.  I still have that phone, I always will.  So Apple if you need an awesome commercial for your iPhone, Vince has got your back!!!

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

  • Why is the software update not showing up in general settings?

    Why does my software update not show up in general settings?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom
