Computer help ???? Can anyone tell me
Dec 6, 2020, 8:53 PM

what to do if I can't attach a document (or anything else ) to an e-mail? This is happening not only on my computer and AOL address but on my wife's computer with her Gmail address. Nothing comes up to choose from when we click to attach. What is happening with this ?

That’s funny as heck Balm! (..... but he’s right: not much help!).
Clover: the reboot option is possibly your best bet - especially if you’re not pc savvy. Zoe’s approach is your next move - unless you have a friend or relative that is pc savvy....

Our IT guy at work has a CD labeled "FIX-IT DISC"

(in sharpie). Anytime somebody has a "computer problem", he has them inset the fix-it CD, and reboot the computer. It almost always fixes it. It's just a blank CD of course, and it's just the reboot that fixes it, but everybody thinks he's some kind of genius.

Try using a different web browser- Google, Safari, Edge, etc... to see if it’s the web browser you are using

If you’re using Google chrome try reinstalling the latest version &/or do the same with Safari. Also, make sure your operating system isn’t pending an update. If so, install & reboot.

AOL still had valid email addresses.
Have you done anything new recently, like updated an anti-virus software or installed one? Could be some filter blocking this action. I assume you are on a Mac? Have you set permissions for file access?

What is the size of the file or document in MB’s, It may be to big to transfer. You may have to put in a Zip file.

I haven't been able to attach anything to my AOL emails for several years. I could when i was paying for the AOL service but when they allowed free email and i stopped paying for it, presto, file attachments were a thing of the past. Use another service. Your Gmail question is a mystery because i can attach files to my Gmails.
