MacBook Air :: Safari Not Responding When Attempting To Attach A File
Sep 10, 2014
This has been going on lately with my computer. When I attempt to attach or search for a file to upload online, the colorful wheel of death spins and my Safari does not respond. I have to force quit Safari. I am unable to attach or upload anything because of this. I can search the web fine and everything else is okay.
iv'e had this problem for a while now, every time i try to download any file from safari it quits,and i get a message saying safari has quit unexpectedly. I have disabled plug-ins but the problem still isn't fixed.
I have often created pdf files and attached them to email. Today I created a letter and made it a pdf. everytime I attach it to an email it becomes the body of the email. No other pdfs do this.
Why can't I attach a file to an email unless I export it to Word or Excel?
If I create a file in Pages, Numbers, or Keynote and save it to my documents, I can't attach that file to an email. It says the file cannot be attached. If I go back to the file and export to Word or Excel, It will attach to the email. How can I fix this?
When attempting to move a file that will need administrator authentication, the authentication window to enter a password does not populate. Thus, I am unable to move the file.
Safari won't let me select multiple files to attach to an email. I can attach more than one file, but I have to attach them one at a time. Is there a setting I need to change or something??
when i use my mac mini desk top, i am not able to attach file to my mails when i am using hotmail. i do not have the same problem using other computer, windows or other mac product. so i know it is the problem of the mac mini. i just started having this problem last couple of months, before that, everything was normal.
I am stumped as to why I can't figure this out. I have been trying to send an email to someone that needs a picture as an attachment. Every time I click on the attachment icon or button in the menu, it puts the picture in the body of the email. She needs to have it as an attachment that she can download onto her computer. There has to be a way to do this, I am just not figuring it out. Could someone please give me some insight? I have tried saving to a file and attaching it from there, tried view image as an icon, but nothing seems to be working. She also needs it in a bigger file, which I think will be solved once I can attach the file without being in the body of the text. How would I make a bigger file, from 131 KB to say 400 KB?
I am trying to send an email with an attached resume to someone but every time I attach the pdf file it appears in the message. I do not want to send that way. I just want them to be able to save and open it.
Is there a way that Mail can work like MS Entourage or Outlook and more professionally attach files to the message? For example when I attach a picture or audio file its always embedded into the message at the bottom or top of the email. Outlook and Entourage do not work that way.
I have had one problem ever since I downloaded Safari 5. Sometimes when attempting to load pages, it just doesn't work. It's like that my internet gets turned off when I am trying to load a page. Any one know if this is a known problem, or if it is just a coincidence that my internet became "glitchy" when I downloaded Safari 5?
I get this error message when attempting to use AutoFill for signing into online accounts such as Amazon. I know that AutoFill uses information from Address Book to fill out the form - that's why I have a card in Address Book with my name and email address on it - but I'm still getting this error message when attempting to use AutoFill.
OS is Snow Leopard, Safari is 5.1.2 Since migrating to a hand-me-down MacBook (black) I can't attach files to messages in Hotmail. I click the attachments link, and nothing happens. Works fine in Firefox, b.t.w.
I have the last update of safari in macbook pro but I can't attach any files on any website or mails but in another browser like chrome ..etc., I can attach files.
Safari is no longer responding because of a script on the webpage “iGoogle” [URL]. Do you want to stop running the script, or let it continue? (or any other webpage) What is happening? Am on macbook OS 10.5.8 java enabled.

If I open TextEdit, it seems to work ok. But if I open an existing file (RTF), TextEdit opens but is "not responding" (says the Activity Monitor), for about 2 minutes. Then the file I wanted to open suddenly appears and works fine.
How come? And how can I make TextEdit work normally again?
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.5 on my G5 and a couple of days ago my dock stopped responding and Safari won't open. I tried adjusting the dock in the system preferences and I won't maintain an adjustments I make. I tried downloading updates for Safari and OS 10.5.5 but they crashed when I try to install them...
I have had this MacBook 2.2 about three years or so. I have been using Safari Version 4 Public Beta (4528.16) for some time. It has been working OK, however recently I found a problem: Browser comes on as normal, it opens the email page but then, it stops responding to the clicks. I can not write a "new" message or anything else.
To deal with such situations I had some time ago installed the Camino 1.6.6,It works OK, a week or so ago I saw a prompt to upgrade my Camino to 1.6.7.
I did what one normally does, I down loaded it , pressed the button to 'install and run' it, but instead of doing what I thought it should do ,a dialoge box came up to tell me that some error has occurred, I should get in touch with the person who owns the computer. Well it did not say that in those words but it meant that.I am the person who owns it, uses it and I had put in the correct password, when it required.
It has happened a couple of times. I assumed It will resolve itself as glitches do,but no it has not. I have just tried it and the issue persists.Why has the Safari gone sour, and why I can not update the Camino 1.6.7.?
Safari gives server not responding but only to one site.
The site is [URL]
It was used very day until it stopped yesterday but I can access the site on my PC network no problem. Its only on my Mac network that it cannot be seen even though all other sites are accessed OK.
Since the last update my Safari 4.0.3 crashes a lot. Like 3 or 4 times a day. Either that or it shows the spinning beach ball, meaning Safari is not responding and needs to be force quit. It looks like it's happening when a page is (re)loading. This looks a lot like the continuous crashing that happened to Safari 4 when it was just launched (was that in April, or May?). That was then reason for me to switch to Firefox. If this keeps up I might do that again. Or maybe to Chrome.
Safari is no longer responding because of a script on the webpage.....Do you want to continue running this script or stop?" This comes up on every single webpage I try to load. If I click STOP, it just keeps popping up, and I can't do anything else.
Safari not responding when deleting cache and history the app simply freezes and I get a spiral color ball turning. I need to force quite and restart the history is still there and so are the cache files I'm unable to delete them. And Safari NO LONG displays YOUTUBE VIDEOS in web sites that embed YOUTUBE VIDEOS.This is a REAL PAIN as I need to use Chrome or Firefox just to watch a YOUTUBE VIDEO.Using: iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MBSoftware Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)
