collar Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Dear Friends, Sorry if this might seem a stupid question, I'm new to Mac, and im having problems attaching files to my messages in Yahoo Mail & Gmail through my Mac setup (OSx86 10.4.8). I'm sure this has nothing to do with the OSx installation but maybe I need to do something to enable this...? I've tried with Safari & Firefox browsers.. Thanks for all the help..

Collar Same thing was happening to me. I had to end up using Thunderbird or dot mac. Also, it depends on the file types, like for instance I couldn't send any gband files for some reason. I don't think you need to enable anything, I think it's just a problem we have because we aren't on real Mac hardware.

sarahbau Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I don't see how this could be related to using a hackintosh. I don't use Yahoo, and don't normally use gmail for sending anything, but I just tested it in gmail, and attaching a file worked fine.

Thanks for that !..I was getting worried. ..A friend of mine has an old Macbook (clam shell model) and I just asked him about this, he said he has similar issues when using a web based mail client like Yahoo..Anyway, I'll get Thunderbird and see how it goes.

mspr Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi, I had a similar problem and I solved by changing the Finder window aspect from preview to list menu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55261-webmail-and-mac/#findComment-395361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspr Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi, my problem was that often my system hanged attaching files to my messages in webmail and I had this problem both with Safari both with Firefox. As I told you I solved by changing the window aspect from preview to list menu: when you try to attach a file in webmail you can select it from a new Finder window that appears on your screen. On the top of this window you can change the aspect from preview to list mode. In preview mode my system hangs and I cannot send webmail attachments... in list mode it works fine. Here you can see two images: Preview mode List mode Bye Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55261-webmail-and-mac/#findComment-395413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you can see two images: Preview mode List mode Bye Thanks very much Mspr. This helped a lot and I managed to attach some files!! Same thing was happening to me. I had to end up using Thunderbird or dot mac. Also, it depends on the file types, like for instance I couldn't send any gband files for some reason. I don't think you need to enable anything, I think it's just a problem we have because we aren't on real Mac hardware. Updating...you're right about some file types not getting attached. Also the 'List' over 'Preview' mode in Finder helped manage attaching those files that could be attached. Thanks again Macshiba & Mspr for your time and suggestions..Highly appreciated!
