Why does Mail change the size of attachments
I have been trying to send som JPEG files to a client. These files are no more than 450 kb. They were made in Adobe Illustrator CS5. The file sizes on my Mac are below 450 kb, yet when I attach them to an e-mail the size plummets to 31.3 kb, making them totally unusable for my client. I do not see any setting in Mail that would affect the file size of an attachment. I've attached files before with no problem. I do not know if this is because it's a JPEG. Unfortunately JPEG is the file format that they need. So to get arounfd this I've uploaded them to my server... but it would be so much easier to just be able to attach them to an e-mail.
Does anyone have a reason why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!

Steve626 is onto it. Follw his directions.
"If so, when you attach the picture file to the email message, look in the lower right of the mail message window and there is a pop up window that lets you specify the size of the pciture file attachment. "
Load the image into the message then look for the "Image Size" Bottom right hand corner.
Works for me on my Mail Version 4.6 (1085).

Why does Mail change the sender email address?
My email address from work has a subdomain: "[email protected]".
Although my mac Mail account is set up correctly with that email address in the account settings, when I send mail, users receive it showing that the sender (from:) is "[email protected]" - it drops the subdomain and replies to that address get bounced back.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
Thanks -In the From header of the copy of the message in teh sent box,
it reads correctly as [email protected]
Does this provide me a clue?
Sure it does. What you see in Sent is what Mail sends to the outgoing (SMTP) server. If the message gets changed afterwards, some agent other than Mail (probably the outgoing server) is doing it...
I know that Gmail’s outgoing server, for example, does this. In order to be able to use Gmail's SMTP server with another address, you must first enable that address in Gmail's Settings > Accounts page, and let Gmail validate it by verifying that you do indeed own it. If you don't do this, even though Mail will correctly send the message from the address you specify, Gmail's SMTP server will silently change it to the address associated with the Gmail account that corresponds to the username specified during SMTP authentication, instead of refusing to send the message as other SMTP servers would do in those circumstances. -
Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?
Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

Why does Mail change my attachments to DAT
I am looking for help on why the mail program on my iMac and MacAir change attachments sent to me to DAT files. The type of attachments doesn't matter. They can be Excel, PDF, or whatever, but when they come over, they are using a DAT extension. I've tried sending from various computers and other friends have sent me e-mails with attachements, but they always get changed to DAT files. When I receive e-mails on my Roadrunner account, they come over correctly on the same computers.
Thanks,
ScottHi Scott, it's because the silly users on the other end. & MS..

Mail changes the extension in attachments
Mail keeps changing the extension in file attachments. I can attach a word (.doc) document but when it sends it, the attachment is received as ".doc0". Therefore the receiver cannot open it. Same thing happens with PDF that is being sent as ".pdf0". Has anybody experienced this?
I found it! Why the extension changes.
It has to do with signatures!
When you place the PDF file just above the signature (or I guess inside), the extension changes name!
This is my signature:
Jonatan 'Kip' Kipowsky
0709-XX XX XX
[email protected]
Since I have TWO enters (for the air) above the line above my name, when I place the PDF file just above the line I place it INSIDE the signature.
I tried it high above the line and just over. Every time I placed it over, it changed the name, to .pdfdf and such.
How did I find out?
I used at PDF file with spaces in the name, foregin letters (swedish), two different mail servers (smtp) and sent to two different adresses (yahoo.se and my own). I tried with text and without text in the mail. Tried waiting, so the message would be auto-saved and without. Tried all different ways. Yes, friends. For an hour I had no life!

Why does Indesign change the print driver?
When I go into the print dialog and click on "setup" to go to the Minolta Bizhub C450 print driver, I find that the items that I have changed (like collate, double sided, grayscale, the list goes on) have been changed back to the original setting. When I print from Acrobat, I can change the print setting and they stay. Example: If I want to print a file thats two sided, I hit <control P>, <settings> and enter the printer driver. I tell it that I want to two sided and I want "Right Binding". Exit the printer driver, go back to Indesign print screen and hit print. The file has printed two sided but the binding position has defaulted back to auto, not the "Right Binding" that I had asked for.
I have the new version 6.0.4 but it seems like my problems have started after this new version. Does anybody else have this problem?Hey
So why dont you just make up some presets because after making those setting whenever you go back it will change so after sending for the firrst time dont set again just ctrl p and enter it will still remember or use preset it

WHY does MAIL separate the "INBOX" from all the other mailboxes in acct?
up until 10.5 mail showed all the folders/mailboxes under the mail account MYACCT, for example.
I added a folder and mail insisted on changing the IMAP path.
NOW, it shows the INBOX under a section at the top MAILBOXES/Inbox
and all the other folders below ON MY MAC... separately under a heading of MYACCT.
this is a pain in the *... now I have to look 2 different places to check all the mail!
I've tried moving it. I can move it ABOVE the MAILBOXES/Inbox section, but NOT within that section.
Apple.. you are making me want to switch to windows. Mail has always been buggy... it is rapidly becoming intolerable. Even Outlook Express manages to keep all the folders for a given account together.It's not actually a difficulty, it's that way by design. The actual IMAP servers usually store their folders as either folders on the same hierarchy as the inbox, or as subfolders of the inbox. On servers where the folders are stored as subfolders of the inbox, you'd actually see the folders on the server (if you could go and look at them) as something like INBOX, INBOX.folder1, INBOX.folder2, etc., or even .INBOX, .INBOX.folder1, .INBOX.folder2, etc. Such a server requires a path specified properly in order for the retrieving program to lay out the hierarchy properly.
OK. Now, in Mac's Mail.app, the default behavior when you have multiple mail accounts is to group all the inboxes up at the top (Inbox will have a triangle next to it and if you click it it will show all your accounts' inboxes there), and put the folder hierarchies below in sections named for the account under which they reside. That way, all your new mail appears up at the top. If it didn't do this, then if you had a large number of folders (I have about 50, each with subfolders) in one account, you'd not even be able to see the inbox for your second and third and fourth accounts on the same screen; you'd have to scroll down just to get to your inbox for those other accounts. Similarly, the Sent boxes, Trash boxes, and Junk boxes are grouped at the top as well, again, for ease of use when you have multiple accounts. (In fact, the actual name of your Sent box may not be "Sent" at all, but rather some folder that the imap server knows is for your sent stuff. For example, for .mac accounts, the Sent folder is actually called "Sent Messages" on the server. You can see this (but don't do this unless you're ready to revert back the way it was) if you choose another folder on that account, go to the Mailbox menu and choose "Use this folder for ..." and choose Sent. After doing that, the old folder Sent Messages will appear in your hierarchy, since it is no longer being used as the sent box, and the new one you just told Mail to use as Sent is now the one that appears in the Sent section up at the top (even though it's actual name is not shown).
So, when Mail.app insisted that it put INBOX in the path field, that's because it noted that all your folders are actually subfolders of INBOX, and it wanted to use its default behavior to put the inboxes up at the top with your folders in their own section below. By deleting the path, you've forced mail to place your folders as subfolders of the inbox, as they really are on the server.
One of my accounts recently switched servers, and switched its imap implementation from having folders on the same level as inbox to having them as subfolders of the inbox. When the switch happened, all my folders moved under the inbox, preventing me from even seeing the inboxes for my other accounts! By putting in the path INBOX, they went back to their own section below.
Ultimately it's a matter of convenience for you, of course. If you have only one account, then it doesn't matter much whether your folders are under your inbox or in a different section. But as soon as you have more than one account, I think you'll find that keeping folders under your inbox is somewhat awkward. But it shouldn't hurt anything to do it the way you're doing it.
Also, with the new ability to create ToDos and Notes, you'll find they're put in their own section called Reminders, which again group by account. On the server, Todos are actually in a folder of their own called "Apple To Do" and notes are in their own folder "Notes". Yours must also appear under your Inbox, since you deleted the path which would allow Mail to place them "properly" in their own section.
Again, it's up to you how to handle things, but I know some people have found that they can't even access their mail correctly if the path field is not correctly filled in. That yours works is great, but it may not always continue to do so, so just keep in mind you might some day have to put in "INBOX" in the path field to get your mail to work right. -
When I click to open a PDF from Firefox it behaves very strangely. Instead of opening the PDF with its original filename (say for example: Report_on_the_weather.pdf) it changes the file name on opening. They open up with random 8-digit filenames (for example 5918Bd01.pdf). It does this for all PDF files. I would like to stop this behabviour. Any ideas?
My configuration:
Firefox 4
Windows XP
Adobe Acrobat 8.1 Standard (not the Reader, the full standard application)cor-el, thanks for responding. As it turns out the machine was compromised, probably due to the Java upgade from 6.x to the supposedly current 7.x version. I suspect one of the 'always open' tabs in my profile was aimed at a site that had been compromised to exploit the java vulnerability that has not apparently been fixed yet.
After removing Java, a current Panda AV scan detected three bad jar files. Further testing with MSCONFIG found a file in startup that did not belong, turns out to be a new exploit with very little coverage on virustotal (neither Panda nor McAfee detected it as malware) but as soon as it was taken out of the startup, Firefox started working perfectly.
Firefox was the parakeet in the cave, tipping over to let me know something was wrong.
The machine is in quarantine until a much more complete analysis is done. We may still rebuild it to be certain.
I'm giving you a 'solved' on this because the windows safe mode boot pointed the way to determining the problem. -
Why does Edge increase the size of the stage when I insert .oam via Dreamweaver?
I am creating a slider for a site's Home Page, and specified a Stage size of 960 x 255 pixels in my Edge Animate document. When I inserted the .oam file from Dreamweaver (Insert > Media), the dimensions grew to 980 x 275 pixels. Manually correcting the dimensions does not correct the problem. The width remains wider, and a gap exists between the bottom edge of my animate object and the border graphic that overlays the object.
How do I correctly specify the stage size so it remains at the size I specify once I insert the .oam file in my page?
Thanks,

Why does Mail on the MacbookPro constantly says "offline"?
Mail won't send messages from my MacBook Pro. Outgoing server says "offline" no matter what settings and ports I try. Shaw (my service provider) has worked with me on the problem but they are out of ideas. I have my account working on both my desktop and on my iPad.
Suggestions?It's just trying to do what you asked it to do by clicking the Send button. If you don't want to try to send, save and close the message, then send it later.
Admittedly, Mail does not have good features for queuing messages and sending them later... but we can't tell you why. If you want Apple to change it, try using the [Apple feedback page|http://www.apple.com/feedback> to let them know how you feel. -
Why does Photoshop inflate the size of PNG files?
Hello,
I have a font bitmap which is greyscale, 8-bit, 512 x 512 pixels. It takes up 18K bytes.
When I open it up in CS3 and save it back out under a different name, the file suddenly swells to 114K!
What is it doing there, and why? Maybe some kind of compression in the original that is not being used by PS?
Thanks
BobWow, that not only worked, but it made the file only 13K! Of course it could have compressed it or something -- that Save for Web interface (in CS3 at least) is pretty confusing. At least, it is hard to tell how to save an exact copy -- seems to want to do compression).
Thanks

Why does effects change the document color? Is their a solution?
When I create a PMS background color to a page and then add an effect, like dropshadow to an object like a square, the background changes to a dark, muddier color. How can I resolve this?
What's happening is that by applying transparency, you're invoking the CMYK Transparency Blend Space (found under the Edit menu). That will convert objects on the page to CMYK at printing time. This will change bright PMS colors to duller CMYK colors.
I'd suggest changing your background color to CMYK, or ditching the transparency effect. Or else apply transparency on all your pages so they'll look the same.
Also, you need to be aware that in order to print transparency and spot colors together at print time you printer has to turn on overprinting to render them correctly. Otherwise you'll see a white box behind your drop shadow effect:

Why does iCal change the time of my events when I import my schedule? PLEASE HELP
When importing my schedule (from my school website, week by week), I had no problem in September. Now, something must be screwed up in my iCal, because the same documents are importing 3-4 hours behind my current time zone (Atlantic). Atlantic time is specified in the files, so it isn't that. This happens in the guest user as well.
I turned off time zone support (I feel as though this is what made it stop working, as the default was off and I turned it on around the time it stopped working). It still doesnt work even with time zone turned off and the time on my computer is set manually (instead of automatically detecting it). Also, I tried to find the preference file in my library>preferences, but it didn't exact... not one single com.apple.ical plist file in there!!! It seems to work fine from my iphone EXCEPT it creates 2 events for each single event (at the same time) which is rather annoying.
Anyone know/have any ideas on how to fix this??Yeah that was it, I realised straight afterwards (I'm just impatient lol). Thanks anyway

Why does iChatAV3 change folders name sent to 2nd computer?
Why does iChatAV3 change the actual folder's name (removes certain punctuation marks like forward slashes "/ " and replaces them with dashes "-" ) of attachments sent to 2nd computer on the same local network? The way I send a folder to the second computer via ichat on my own local network is to simply drag and drop the folder to the name on the Buddy list and hit send. Then i accept the folder on the target computer.
I just sent a folder of 24 jpeg images to my second Powermac via ichatav3. (I have four macs on this particular network). The title of the folder was "Photos / 2000" but ichat changes the forward slash to a dash on the folder's name ...... and then drops the two and first zero ...... why? When received on the 2nd computer it reads the adjusted file name as" Photos -00" Not at all what I wanted to name this folder.
In addition, Photoshop 7 (which is loaded to both systems) has issues seeing and opening the new files and folders until i retitle them per the original folder.
I suspect the solution is not to use forward slashes at all when naming a folder of jpeg images.
But why does ichatav3 also drop numbers from the title of these folders or attachments? Might it be that the newly generated file name already exists on the HD of the receiving system and hence will not save it under an identical name or title?
If this is the case, shouldn't there also be a dialog box or warning that pops up saying i already have such a file on my current HD or at the very least a warning not to use punctuation marks on folders or attachments?
Helpful suggestions in sending perfectly "intact" folders, files, and attachments via iChatav would be sincerely appreciated.
SDMacuserHI SDMacuser,
So far I have not sent a folder in the way you describe.
I can not offer any assistance on this.
I will test with EZ Jim when he is next around.
Anyone else with any suggestions ?
