10.8.2 Computer will not download attachments from Email

My email will not let me download any type of file, I belive it is because I stupidly deleted my maildownloads folder. it says:
"Mail was unable to save the attachment “whatever file” to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writable.
How do I remake this folder or this that not the problem?
-Thanks for the help.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Quit Mail.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

    In this complicated case, I think it's important that you get your work in.
    The Photography Plan includes Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. Open an account with them and for $10 a month you can be back in business which I think nets you more than $10. It's what I do. You can do this immediately. You get two seats and they can be either Mac or PC.
    In your spare time you can sort out the license issue and cancel the plan later on if this is fixed.
    If you don't want to go there, then you will have to call Customer Service by phone and hope they can fix this.

  • My computer will not download the itunes 10.7 update

    my computer will not download the itunes 10.7 update. It gets as far as 20.7 mb then stops and comes up with a message "errors occurred while installing the updates". I have tried to download it manually but does the same. It is getting very frustrating now, as I have tried it numerous times. Please has anyone any ideas? Thanks

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • My Ipod nano 5th gen lost all of my podcasts and will not download anything from ITunes

    All my content on my Ipod nano 5th ed disappeared, and it will not download anything from ITunes.  I restoered original content. My operating system is up to date.  My capacity is 8 gigs.  What more should I do?

    The title says "iPod nano 5th gen" but your message says "iPod classic". There is a forum for the iPod classic, if that is what you have.

  • My computer will not download the new software??????

    Hello, Welcome to discussions.
    Below are some suggestions. But if you could be more specific about the error messages the community can better assist.
    *Reboot computer and then download again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    *If you are downloading with a particular browser. Try downloading iTunes with another internet browser like
    *Safari for Windows
    *Firefox for Windows
    *Opera for Windows
    *If you are running the file vs Saving the file. Choose to save to desktop vs run. You may also wish to check your Firewall and other security software to ensure it is not restricting downloads and you have administrator rights.

  • Thunderbolt - will not download Comcast POP3 email on 4G LTE but will on 3G

    As the title suggests, my Thunderbolt will not download email from my Comcast POP3 account when the device is in the following mode:
    Network Mode: LTE/CDMA
    (which in my area generally always puts me in 4G mode.  This problem only happens in 4G mode.)
    However, as soon as I switch the phone over to
    Network Mode: CDMA Only
    ...to force the phone back into 3G mode, then it immediately begins to download my mail.
    I have had this phone for at least a year, and have never had this issue until just recently, about the last two weeks.  It suspiciously started right about the same time that Verizon updated the phone software (OTA) to version 2.11.605.19 710RD.  I cannot swear that this is the cause, but nothing else on the phone has changed and they both seemed to have happened around the same time.  Right about when this update took place, my emails stopped downloading.
    I have been troubleshooting settings and researching this issue now for 2 days.  No, my POP3 settings are not incorrect, I'm sure of it.  They have always worked exactly as I have them now with no issues.  Comcast has not changed anything on me in the last month.  And my settings match what everyone of the experts online say they are supposed to be.  Plus, the only time those settings don't work is when I switch to 4G (now with the new software version).  The phone also accepts my settings as well, and when bad settings are input I get errors.
    Additional info: I have 2 of the troubled Comcast POP3 accounts on the phone (that both stopped working simultaneously), I have 1 other POP3 account on the phone that has never had any issues and continues to work flawlessly, 1 Yahoo (IMAP) account on the phone that has never had any issues and continues to work flawlessly, and I have 2 Gmail accounts on the phone that have also always worked flawlessly.  Just the Comcast accounts stopped, and only just recently, and only with switching from 3G to 4G.  All emails, nothing to do with large attachments (I don't download them).
    Has anyone else with Comcast POP3 emails experienced anything like this?  Anyone got a cure?  Of all the threads I have read about people not being able to download Comcast emails on their phone, none of them mentioned trying to switch the network between 3G and 4G.  That seems to be my issue here.
    I've actually just bought a new 4G phone (waiting for delivery), but not sure if the new phone will resolve any of this.  In the meantime I have to use 3G to get my emails which defeats the whole purpose of me having a 4G phone.

    For anyone following this discussion.  I am working in York, PA today and decided to test this whole thing from this location.  It worked perfectly.
    So add this to the equation, it definitely has something to do with the current location of the 4G network.  I tested this problem this morning in Baltimore and it still wasn't working.  In York, 95 miles away, it works.
    Verizon Wireless, can you please comment and state what you are looking into if anything?

  • Iphone will not download music from icloud

    I have a iphone 5, that is running with on 7.1.2. I have 2.0 GB of space available and about 12 songs that will not download. I have recently been getting the problem that I will buy songs from itunes, but after syncing my iphone to my computer, some of the songs (at random) will be in the cloud. This will include some songs I have bought both on the phone itself and on the computer. While all is good on my itunes on my computer, the music on my phone will not download so I can listen to them. If I click the icloud button, I get the spinning circle showing that it is thinking about downloading, but then the icloud button will reappear. It is the same over wifi or data. First it was just one random song out of 10 songs bought, but over the months it has grown. The latest has included not downloading a full album as seen below.

    Even when I sync my phone, the music still remains in the cloud on my phone.
    I am not using match.

  • My phone will not download music from my itunes

    the last few months I have not been able to load checked artists, music or talks.

    That is very vague.
    Will not download what music?
    If you have already downloaded it on your computer, then you cannot download it again.  You ned to sync from your computer.
    Perhaps if you explained what you are talking about, someone could help.

  • My LG Cosmos Touch will not download pictures from texts anymore

    For the last couple of weeks..my phone will not download pictures or texts containing a lot of bytes...according to Verizon...this phone is designed to only accept up to 3500 bytes and all the newer phones send texts with pic about 30,000 bytes....and there is no solution beyond getting a newer phone..but I do not want to pay for an internet plan...so..is there any other way to get my phone to download these things sent to me? And yes..I have taken out battery as was instructed...just hoping there is a solution that this verizon rep does not know about...I feel like this is gonna be like the Daily Scoop issue....

    I tried to download itunes again from the web several times, I also reomved using the tools the smart screen filter, somehow eventually, after 3.5 hours of trying I managed to get the computer to talk to my phone, however it would not download some of my stuff because it says it was corrupt, I think this was my message and call history because I think that is all that was missing. Apple should come up with a simple fix for this I see that I am not the only one to have encountered this issue, Steve H

  • Computer will not download itunes 11

    I have an older MacBook. Not sure what version. Tried to instal new iTunes because my iPhone will not connect.  Please help!!

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
