Can't attach emails to icloud email

Hi, since around the begining of August I haven't been able to attach any files to iCloud email. Running a Windows PC and I've tried Internet Explorer and also Safari and get the same result on both. When I click on the attachment icon and select the file to attach (and I've tried lots of different files - Exel, Word, PDF's etc) the spinning icon just keeps turning and says "loading" and then eventually the dialog box appears "XXX file cannot be uploaded at this time. if you're trying to add folder make sure it's zipped or compressed first and then retry" (I'm not trying to add a folder).
It's very inconvenient - I'm having to send emails from iCloud and send the attachments from another email account I have.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards, Bryan

either attach form Entourage using the media browser or export the photo to the desktop, attach and send and then delete the desktop copy

What is the maximum file size that can be attached to an outgoing email on my iCloud account?

20mb, but I would suggest leaving a little space. 15 is reliable.

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

On your iOS device, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail off. On a Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck Mail.

Can I use an existing iCloud email address on my mac?

Hi everyone,
I am wondering how I use an existing iCloud.com email address for mail on the iCloud. Here is what I did:
I bought a new Mac. I signed in to iCloud with my apple ID and turned on the mail feature. I created a new email address.
Then, I signed out of the iCloud. Stupid.
When I logged back in to the iCloud, the mail was no longer synced. I checked the box, and then it asked me to create a new email address again. Obviously, I do not want to create a new email address. I would like to use the account that I just created.
So, is there any way that I can use the account I created? Or will I have to create a new one.
Thanks,
Katie

OK, I'm not sure just what you have going on now. If [email protected] is both your Apple ID and your emergency email, I'm not sure how the [email protected] (or [email protected] if they are the same) address is related to it.
Can you add the @icloud.com address to System Preferences > "Mail, Contacts & Calendars"? Not create a new one, just connect it with the "+" button and check Mail on the service list. Can you then read your iCloud email?

Why can't I access my icloud email on Chrome?

Why can't I access my iCloud email on Chrome? I can open it, read one email and then it freezes > both on my mac and on my pc! After an upgrade I can't access "mail" either, which is why I resorted to iCloud on chrome.

Your profile states 10.6.8. The system requirements for mail is 10.7.5 or later

How can I add a non icloud email address to icloud

You can't. iCloud uses its own email accounts @icloud.com

HT4897 how can I check availability of icloud email address

How can I check availability of icloud email address?

Try to create one. If it's taken you will get a message saying so. Of course only try this with an address you really want since if you can create it you won't be able to delete it if it's the main account address.
In theory you can check email addresses by using 'Finger' but it's not in the least reliable and doesn't seem to work with iCloud at all (and many ISPs simply refuse it). 'Ping' will return a positive whether the address exists or not (it checks the domain only).

Can you attach photos to an email via ipad?

Can you attach photos to an email via ipad?

Yes.
Open a new email and touch and hold in the body of the email, when you release you should see "insert photo or video" select that then choose the desired photos. Alternately you may go to your photos and select the photo(s) you wish to send and press the "share" button looks like a box with a arrow coming out of it. Once you press share you can choose email.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

If you migrated from MobileMe, try deleting the e-mail account in your mail preferences and adding it back again. You will only be required to enter your password and the ID, the setup should add the correct settings and hopefully this will resolve your problem.

Can't send or receive iCloud emails

Since I have moved house and can not send or receive iCloud emails due to a new router possibly! I have added a new Smtp.mail, changed the port settings to 25 and back to Port 587.
The reason for all this drama is I have received on connection failed "p06-SMTP.mail.me.com". Can anybody give me a simple solution to this annoying problem? It's driving me mad.

Sorry for the confusion.
My original [email protected] works correctly on my iOS devices.
The one Apple has reserved for me [email protected] does not send or receive e-mails on my iOS devices.
An alias I created [email protected] works just fine on my iOS devices.
I can see all 3 address under the icloud settings on the devices but the only 2/3 work fully.
So I was thinking because I have not had the e-mail from Apple confirming the switch from me.com to icloud.com then the [email protected] is not active yet. (However I can log into my Apple ID using the it).
Hope this makes it clearer.

Since updating to IOS7 i can't attach PDF's to emails correctly.

Since updating to IOS7 on my Ipad i have been unable to email PDF documents correctly. I use PDF expert to fill in PDF forms and then email them to the office. But since the update the PDF's will not attach correctly and cant be opened in Outlook. I have figured out a work around which involves sending to iCloud email acount and then extracting form there but it a pain. I have tried using different PDF readers but they all have the same fault so it must be somethig in the new software.

I just tried using Adobe reader and was successfully able to email to PDF file to myself from the reader. Everything worked fine.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Why can't I use my icloud email for my apple ID?

I want to get rid of my old email address and only use icloud but Apple ID says I cannot use my icloud email address. Why would they offer icloud email if a user cannot use it as their primary address?

You can use iCloud as your primary email, just keep the other as a backup.
It really isn't a good idea to rely on just one email address in case you get an unexpected problem, for example:

Why can't I use my iCloud Email Address as my Apple ID?

Why won't Apple allow us to use their own @icloud.com domain for an Apple ID. This has upset me since the inception of MobileMe; it makes perfect sense that many people would prefer to use their iCloud email address as there Apple ID. We've all had MobileMe since day one, which is now iCloud; it's been several years, and I still can't do it. Having to frequently log in with an individual Apple ID & Individual iCloud account creates so much confusion, especially with my wife and parents.
I know this is an age old complaint, but it doesn't make it any less relevant. Is there a special way to change my existing Apple ID to my existing iCloud email address? If not, then why won't Apple allow it?
Please don't refer me to this article Change your Apple ID.

submit feedback about this so hopefully it gets changed https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html
