Why does selecting 'view' to see attached jpeg's download them?

When I click on 'View' to see a jpeg attachment to an email, I expect it to stream the image.
Instead the image downloads the same way it would if I selected 'Scan and Save to Computer' instead.
Is there a way to get such jpeg attachments to be viewable without having to download them?
Also, does anyone know if this is a problem specific to Yahoo! Mail (the mail client I'm using)?
Thanks.

Thanks. I'll have to give Mail a nod, I guess. To date I haven't seen much reason to go beyond 'webmail' -- and I like that, unlike Mail, it's available everywhere in the world on any Internet-connected machine.
Actually, I think this is more of a Macintosh problem (or Macintosh-Yahoo! problem) than a specifically 'mail-related' problem, because on a PC I do not experience the 'unknown' of whether a clicked-on link is going to stream or automatically download. It either streams or requests permission to download.

    Why does selecting "Help" in Elements Premiere 11" give me a 403 Forbidden message?

    I have looked at hosts file.
    If I understand your suggestion correctly, I have compared my hosts file entry with the link you provided:
      http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zyw0c7iJGJs/Uz9A3uyRpMI/AAAAAAAABZo/6s9KihpCW0I/s1600/hostsfile. JPG
    and they appear to be exactly the same.
    [PS: Could an issue here be that my version of PE (11) is not the latest version (13)? (Or should using PE11 still permit use of the "Help" feature, without a "403 error" ?)]

    Let us look at the hosts file and inspect its content for unwanted/unexpected entries.
    STEP 1
    Find the hosts file. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the hosts file is found in the path
    Local Disk C
    Windows
    System32
    drivers
    etc
    and in the etc Folder is the hosts  file
    STEP 2
    Right click the hosts file, select Open, and then Notepad. Open the hosts file's Notepad document.
    Do you see anything below the last line in the default hosts file as shown in the screenshot?
    (Always backup the hosts file before editing it.)

  • Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?

    The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

  • Why does the view window all of a sudden expand the content of the page I am viewing so that I have to go to "view" and click actual size??

    Why does the view window all of a sudden expand the content of the page I am viewing so that I have to go to "view" and click actual size??
    Then a few minutes later, it goes back to expanded again, it is driving me crazy.  how can I stop this????
    Thanks for any help.

    There could be a number of reasons, first thing to check is if you are clicking Command + or Command -. The Command 0 keystrokes restore Safari to the actual size. You can also reset Safari by Safari - Reset.

    I have an 80 Mbps internet download connection and it took 5 hours to download a movie with standard definition from itunes with my apple tv.  It took 3 minutes when I used netflix on my ps3.  Where is apple supports response to these issues?....there are thousands of posts of people with the same problems!  Speedtest.net confirms my download speed is 80 Mbps!  I have reset and restarted my apple tv and download speeds of movies are still unacceptably slow!  What is the point of these discussions when Apple techs don't even read or respond to our posts?
    Not using OpenDNS by any chance?  Using OpenDNS has caused issues as some Apple server access gets re-routed to slow servers (Akamai servers from memory).

    Does Lightroom back up my photos as I download them into it?

    It can if you want it to. It can make a Copy of them other than where you specify to place them.
    Lightroom is a Image Database, Cataloging, and editing program. It does not Store file inside its own folder structure.
    Please do a Google search on how to use Lightroom and specifically the Import dialog window. There is a wealth of information available on using Lightroom, what is does and doesn't do and how it works.

  • Why does iTunes fail to see that I am a customer

    Why has it taken 20 days and iTunes still hasn'tfixed my account?
    Why have I ended up with two iTunes account instead of just one?
    Why are the people running the system so thick that the two accounts created god knows why both belong to the same person?
    Why is the customer serviceso indifferent and off balance so much that it is barely service at all?
    Why does iTunes not fix their system so that they deal with issues once, once only and move to the next customer thereby reducing everyones waiting time.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Have you ever actually bought anything from the Mac App Store? Have you created an iTunes account in the past? Do you have a bank card from a bank in the country where you live with a local billing address?

  • Why does MS not post any MD5Sum of trial downloads

    Why does MS not post some sort of hashsums such as SHA1 or MD5Sums of this trials of their various server products? I downloaded Server 2012 and Server 2012/R2 and tried to install them into VMWare Workstation 10 only to become frustrated due to strange
    error messages. I thought perhaps that the downloads were corrupted and went to look for MD5Sums for the downloads but gave up in frustration.
    I downloaded both of these files all over again aka over 6GB of files only to discover that it made no difference! Why on earth doesn't MS post check sums for all of their large downloads rather than frustrate their end users?
    There appears to be a problem with installing the x64 ISOs in VMWare workstation. I had no problem installing Server 2012 in Virtualbox 
     

    Did you try using IE to download?  That was the difference between what I use and what you use.  I know it should not make a difference, but just looking to eliminate differences.
    . : | : . : | : . timWh
    I am sure I have tried IE and Firefox both. I can try IE and perhaps have someone outside of my location to grab this file and see what checksums they get.
    Update:
    I downloaded the file yet again here via IE and got the same checksums as before 
    MD4: 2abe3e1c6dfdcd8f6bdaa779baf011e3
       MD5: b391a267949518ed6bb69f908f252076
     SHA-1: 5e2ddcaecc91e80a8ce3ec7ae7838f8a3967ed7f
    I then asked one friend who is on the same ISP as I am to download it and he too got the same checksums.
    I then went over to another friend who is with an entirely different ISP and downloaded the file via IE and got 
    MD4: ef8789166affb34aa4b525693b6161e6
    MD5: 5b5e08c490ad16b59b1d9fab0def883a
    SHA-1: 849734f37346385dac2c101e4aacba4626bb141c
    Which agrees to Tim Cerling's values. I was able to install this ISO in virtualbox without any problems. I just wished the heck Microsoft would have the sens to post these values on the trial page http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2012-r2
    If they had done so I would of realized that the downloaded file was corrupt rather than spend countless lost hours trying various fixes here hardware wise and downloading
    this file 6+ times.
    Thanks Time Cerling for all the help in this matter without it I still would be struggling.

  • Why does the lion take a whole day to download?

    i started my download last night and it said 1 day to install. Of course a storm knocked internet offline and I had to redownload. Why does it take a whole day to download?

    It's 3.6 GB and solely dependent on Internet connection speeds. It takes about an hour on my relatively fast connection—15-20 Mbps downstream. Blame Apple for developing this insanely inefficient delivery method—they're heads are stuck in the clouds and they refuse to face reality.

  • Why does Mail convert PDF attachments to JPEGs?

    When I attach a PDF to a message in Mac Mail it automatically converts to a JPEG. I can't find any reason for this in preferences and the Help Menu is no help. This didn't happen previously. I'm not doing anything different when I create PDFs (usually through Quark Xpress or InDesign). Is anyone else having this problem?
    Quicksilver G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Are you using the Image Size adjustment available at the bottom right of the message window with attaching a single page PDF file which displays inline or viewed in place?
    If so, this will convert a PDF file to a JPEG since the Image Size adjustment was designed for image/photo type attachments only.
