Why do jpgs sent from Macs end up as pngs on pcs?

My office cohorts are unable to save the jpgs I send in emails as jpgs; they end up as pngs. Any answer as to why? Any workaround I can suggest?

I've found the answer: when I uncheck the "Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" box, then all is well and they recieve them as jpegs. Go figure, do just the opposite and their "friendly."

How do I show in Facebook message "sent from mac"? Is it possible?

FWIW, you can drag a photo, video, or a selection of several items from the Photos main window into a folder (including the desktop), but you get a recompressed version at a (non-adjustable) fixed pixel resolution that is typically lower than the original, & it will be the edited version if you have edited the photo in Photos. Because of the recompression & resolution changes, it can take from a fraction of a second to many minutes for the dropped copies to appear in the folder, particularly if you are dropping multiple items and/or large video files.
However, if you hold down the option key during the drag & drop, you get an unaltered version of the original(s) & the process takes no longer than a normal file copy.
This may be useful for copying to thumb drives.

Why does emoticons sent from my iphone 4s does not show on other phones

why does emoticon sent from my phone does not show on other phones

iOS emoticons are Unicode characters that need a certain set of glyphs to be able to be displayed—think of it as a missing font not displaying correctly. If the device you send them to doesn't have the "font", it can't show it.
That's just the way it is.

Why the emails sent from MacBook Pro are so wretched?

Really need help, guys..
Why all the emails sent from my Macbook Pro (from Mail and even from website of yahoo mail and gmail), people received it so mussy...so wretched (am not sure the correct word in english)..
People received it without paragraph at all. Although I typed emails with 3 paragraph, turned out people got it in 1 paragraph.
Can somebody tell me what's wrong?

Nothing is wrong on your end. The problem is the way they have set up their email program to display their emails.

See e-mails sent from Mac on iPhone?

Hi, I have OSX 10.9.1 on my Macbook and ios 7 on my iPhone and I use iCloud. What can I do to make an e-mail sent from my Mac turn up on my iPhone when I search for it on the iPhone for instance by using the sent e-mail´s subject content?
Kind regards

The default setup on the phone does not synchronise the "sent" folder, so it wont appear on your webmail account.
If you enable synchronisation for that folder, it will appear on your webmail account as a new folder called "sent items", So you end up with a "sent" and a "sent items" folder on your webmail account.
You can enable folder sychronisation by the following sequence.
Messaging - select account - press menu - select "folders (5)" - press menu - select "manage folder (2)".
You will then be given the option whether to sync, or not sync a folder.
Any folder that you sync, will appear on your webmail account next time you connect.
This only works for the default IMAP setup.

MDD Dual 1GHz PowerMac
Titanium Powerbook
HP T7500 Dual Core 2.2GHz laptop
windows formatted (NTFS) 250GB SimpleTech External HD
Hi Friends,
I'm forced to use a PC at work that I have the windows formatted ext hard drive connected to for backup purposes.
I connected the external drive via USB2 to my TiPB and downloaded some RAW image files.
Those image files are not recognized by my Bridge on my Mac.
Those image files are no longer recognized by my PC thru Bridge, Photoshop or Lightroom. I also see an extra file type with the name "filename.dng.mac"
Therefore, if my original file name is "_JTR0398.dng", then, after mounting the external HD on my laptop or PowerMac, I also get another file next to it named "_JTR0398.dng.mac".
Thanks for your help!

One Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from .mac

OK, this is an odd problem, and any help would be appreciated.
My girlfriend's Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from my .mac address. If I send email from my Gmail or Yahoo! accounts she receives the message. No one else has informed me that they haven't received email from the .mac address. Additionally, the .mac account is in her address book.
Anyway, has anyone seen a similar pattern with Yahoo! or any other email provider?
Thanks.
- Jennings

Thanks for the reply . . . and yes, the recipient's email provider likely holds the answer.
However, I was hoping someone here might have had a similar experience and could answer as the email provider is Yahoo, and they are slow in responding to help requests . . . for a period I hosted a personal, paid website through Yahoo Domains and help tickets lingered for several days on multiple occasions (this being the reason the site is no longer hosted by Yahoo). I also doubt Yahoo will expend too much energy resolving a problem for a free email account.
Anyway, I posted in the Yahoo mail forums, and hopefully something will come-up . . . .

You may be burning the disk as a data CD. Make sure that you're burning the disk as an Audio CD (iTunes Burning preference). You can also burn an MP3 CD if your tracks are in MP3 format and your player will handle an MP3 disk.
Hope this helps.

Why does email sent from one Thunderbird inbox end up in another's sent file

My husband and I each have Thunderbird emails. Occasionally, when he sends a message out of his inbox, it ends up in my "sent" file, and labeled from me. But, when there is a reply from the recipient (or a bounce back), it comes into his inbox. So, why is the original ending up in the wrong sent file?

Check your settings in ''account settings / copies & folders'' where '''sent''' should be saved.

Why won't attachments sent from Mac Mail show up for an Outlook Express recipient?

I use Mac Mail on a MacBook Pro. When I attach image files to an email message, a recipient using Windows Outlook Express can't receive the attachments as attachments; they're just embedded in the message. What can I do to ensure that attachments go through as attachments?
Thanks in advance.

There's been a lot of discussion on this. Some indicate that setting your email format to plain text will result in the photos being just attachments. When I've tested it by sending to myself that's not been the case.
There's a 3rd party plugin for Mail that is supposed to do what you want. I've not tested it so can't comment one way or another:
One way to assure the image files travel as attachments is to put them in a folder first and add the folder to the email body. That zips/compresses the folder and sends it that way.

For the past day or 2 mail sent from .Mac Mail is not being delivered.

I have been using .Mac Mail and Apple Mail application on my computer for about 10 months. The past 2 days when I go to .Mac Mail online, compose an e-mail, click on send, get the message that says, "Your message has been sent." The e-mail is also in my Sent folder but the e-mail message is not delivered. I sent an e-mail this way to my Hotmail account, my Yahoo account and even to myself at my .Mac Mail account and none of them were delivered. I tried several times at different times and I just tried again now. Still no good. They never went to any of the inboxes even hours later. Is there something wrong with the outgoing .Mac Mail sever? Or what else can it be?

You didn't say what troubleshooting you did after the firmware update and problem...
To get started...
Verify your drive with Disk Utility.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility (probably not the issue, but won't hurt)
Try:
mailbfr -o
mailbfr -f
If you are still stuck, you'll need to post more detail about your configuration, hopefully more log detail and the contents of imapd.conf and the output of postconf -n

Why is email sent from my Ipad not showing my name?

Mail on my wife's iPad is set up with my GMAIL account using Exchange protocol. Whenever she sends anyone email, the recipient see my name in the from field but her email address. I followed the settings below:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>My Info
In there I set up her contact card as her "My Info" however when she sends mail, my name is still showing in the FROM field.
Any Ideas?

For Exchange GMail there is a way to set your iOS device to use a different "Send As" name than when using a computer. Unfortunately in your case, you can set your computer to send an alternate name but the iOS device can only send the default GMail name, which is the name associated with your account. Ideally, you would like your iOS device to use the alternate and let your computer use the default.
But if you want to play around with this ...
1- On the iOS device itself, use Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync. You will have to log in at the prompt with your GMail account info.
2- Select the iOS device name (in case you have multiple iOS devices using Google sync).
3- Select "Enable 'Send Mail As' for this device" and Save the changes.
4- Using a computer, log into your GMail account and select Settings/ Accounts and Import, then at the "Send mail as" prompt select "edit info" (off to the right).
5- Change your outgoing name.
The name you specify in #5 will be used by your computer, but the iOS device will continue using the original (default) outgoing name. You can see why you need the opposite in your case, so unless you can change the default to be your wife's name and then set the alternate to be your name, I think you're out of luck.

Question marks in emails sent from mac mail client

Pages on iPhone can't read Pages documents sent from Mac

My new MacMini (Yosemite) isn't compatible with my old Word files; it saves them in Pages. When I tried reading these on my iPhone, nada. Customer Support said I needed to buy the Pages app (I was surprised it wasnt included since my iOs software is also current). So I bought that for $10 --- and still get the same blank grey screen saying <Original.pages Pages document 270 KB> ---- but nothing else --- when I try to open the Pages doc (whether from Dropbox, or directly downloaded from an email).

Please update your tag line. It still says you are on OS X 10.3.9
You simply have your Word files set to be opened by Pages. Fix that by selecting a Word file in Finder:
Menu > File > Get Info > Open with > choose Word > Change All
Your iPhone must be older than September 2013 which is when Apple started offering Pages for free.
Are you saying transferred files are blank on your iPhone? How do they appear on your Mac?

Jpg files from Mac to PC Vista

I tried to send a jpg attachment to a Vista user, but she says she cannot open it. Mail has a Send Windows Friendly Version check box for attachments, sois there some update needed to send jpgs to a Vista program? I thought jpgs went everywhere; never have a problem sending to Windows users.

Every once in a while I'll have a problem like this with a random Windows user. In addition to the advice already given, I have sometimes had success creating a zip archive of a problematic image file and then sending that via the e-mail. Just something else to try.
Regards,
Steve M.
Edit: AOL also could be a possible culprit here if your recipient uses it.
