Can't download email attachments

When using my yahoo email account, if I click on an attachment and click on download, nothing happens. The guy at the apple store says the attachment will appear in iBooks but it isnt there. Where are my downloads?

What type of attachment are they e.g. PDF, pictures, documents ? Not all document/attachment types are naturally supported by the iPad, though there may be third-party apps that are capable of opening them. From the manual :
+Open an attached file: Tap the attachment to download it to iPad and then open it. If iPad doesn’t support the format of an attached file, you can see the name of the file but you can’t open it.+
+Open an attached file with a different app: Touch and hold the attachment, then choose an app. If you don’t have any apps that can open the attachment, you can view it, provided it’s a file type that iPad supports.+
+Save an attached photo to your Saved Photos album: Tap the photo, then tap
Save Image+

  • Am I the only one having difficulties with aol on my iPod touch? I can't download email attachments *videos n stuff* is this just me?

    Like it will stop in the middle of extraction and say unable to download attachment server connection failed, I've reset my iPod multiple times, is there a bug in the servers or is this just me? Help I really need answers plz.....ps I just upgraded to ios 5, but is this me or mmain aol servers?

    You need to reopen that case file for your initial problem and get that resolved. That's the first thing.
    The second thing (the download times) can easily be checked out while you are at the Apple Store (as a test you do yourself). Find a couple of large apps (like maybe approaching 1 GB) in which you don't have any personal data in them, and delete them from your iPad. Then redownload them and see how long it takes at the Apple Store.
    If it's quick and normal at the Apple Store, then you've got so,e problem with the iPad working right with your home WiFi, and you'll have to sort that out. If it's just as slow at the Apple Store, then you can open up case file on that issue while you are still in the Apple Store.

  • I can't download .jpeg attachments in my email to my phone.

    I can't download .jpeg attachments in my email to my phone. I can see the image in the message but there is no paperclip signifying an attachment and there is also no option I can find to download the image to my phone.

    In your email program, check to see if there is a menu / settings to "Download Attachments". If so, is it selected or not?
    I use a replacement email program called K9Mail. Very functional. When I get an email with attachments, I have to press "Download Complete Message" for the attached content to download. Then I can either click on an icon of the image, or, I can go to the Gallery and view the images there.

  • Why does Reader XI download email attachments to my Download folder before I am able to print them?

    After last update my Reader XI automatically downloads email attachments (.pdf) to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that file in order to print it.  Before, the attachment would open in Reader and I could print from that direct.

    Windows 8, Firefox email client.  What happens is that I click on attachment links in emails, which are .pdf files.  Instead of a menu allowing opening of the file with Reader, the file gets automatically downloaded to my Downloads folder.  I then have to open that folder, click on the file name... then Reader opens and I can view the file as well as print it from the Reader menu.

  • I can't open email attachments on my ipad that have an arrow on them.  Those with a W open just fine. Also can't open jpeg files-- they also have an arrow on them. Any ideas?

    Hi, I can't open email attachments that have an arrow on them. Attachments with a W (windows) open just fine. I have an ipad 3. Thanks for any ideas.

    Attachments that show as a bold downward pointing arrow in a gray rectangle in a dotted box have not yet been downloaded to your phone (usually because they are large). Tapping such an icon should download the attachment if you are connected to the internet and your mail server is reachable. Once downloaded, they should appear as normal (which would depend on the attachment type).
    This is the "Using iPhone" forum, so I said phone, but the same applies on an iPad.

    Hi,
    I have just got myself a new PC with Windows 7 (64bits). Using IE 8 (32 bit version), I am unable to download emails attachments from my normal Yahoo account ([email protected]). I have read somewhere that this could be due to the fact that Yahoo uses Norton as antivirus scan for email attachments, and that this could clash with BT NetProtectPlus (McAfee under the bonnet). Is there an option I need to switch off (and if so which one / how) in BT NetProtectPlus in order for me to be able to download attachments via Yahoo mail ?
    Please note that this used to work on my previous PC (Windowx XP).
    Thanks for your help. This is getting really frustrating !
    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    To be honest, there would not really be a clash between the products you've mentioned, because the online system using Norton is a server system and actioned before any download. There is possibly an option in BTNetprotect for "email scanning" or similar. This option can be turned off in the general case, since disk writes are covered anyway,
    Have you tried another browser (e.g. Firefox, Opera or Safari) to see if the same conditions exist ?
    Is there any particular error message or delay you are seeing ?

  • Can't download email from Mail 5.3 installed on OS 10.7.5.

    I can't download email from Mail 5.3 the last 2 days installed on OS 10.7.5. Then tried to upgrade to Mail 10.5.6 but get message that all my volumes are full. No they're not!! What gives?? See grab shot below.
    <IMG SRC="http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/7694997/view/upgradeglitch.jpg">

    I may have just found the solution.  It turns out that the photos on my iPhone only became inaccessible after the latest upgrade of iOS 7.  They were not recognizable by any means of access from my mac. So...I launched iTunes and up came a dialog box asking me if I wanted to allow access to the iPhone via this computer.  I clicked "Allow," and it told me to use the iPhone to allow access.  I went to the iPhone and sure enough there was a dialog box asking for permission to share information with the computer.  I clicked "allow" or "yes" or something like that, and for me the problem was solved.  I can now upload photos from my iPhone with Bridge just like I used to.  No problem.  I hope this will work for other mac users.

  • Can I download emails from a web mail account? If so how? thank you?

    How can I download emails from a web mail account into Thunderbird please

    If the account can be set up with programs like TB, simply add the account, starting from File/New(or AppMenu/New Message)/Existing Mail Account. If TB doesn't detect the right settings, enter them manually according to the account provider's requirements. If the provide offers IMAP access, all of the webmail folders will be downloaded. If POP only is offered, the Inbox will be downloaded.

  • Can't download email over ethernet

    Greetings!
    I can surf the web over my ethernet connection, but Mail can't download email over the same connection.
    Does anybody have any idea what is going on?
    Thanks very much in advance.
    Kevin

    Hello Kevin.
    What does “Mail can't download email” mean? What’s the problem exactly? Is it that Mail doesn’t check for mail on this account, or that it checks but downloads nothing, or what? What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? What error messages do you get, if any? More info, please.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    In Mail, open Window > Connection Doctor. What does it say?
    Could it be that Mail or this particular account is in an “offline” state? Is the Mailbox > Go Online command enabled or disabled?
    Go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. Is Include when automatically checking for new mail ON or OFF?
    What’s the time interval chosen in Preferences > General > Check for new mail?
    Open Window > Activity Viewer and tell Mail to check for mail on this account. What do you see there?
    Open the Account Info window by choosing Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that it doesn’t download? Do they appear as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)?

  • Can't download email picture attachments

    I have Gmail on my iPhone 4 (with Verizon). I'm having a problem where I cannot download picture attachments. It was working fine just a couple days ago, but now when I tap the download picture icon in the email, it will blink, and sometimes act like it's starting to download, then the icon will reappear, and nothing has happened.
    I can forward the email again, including the original attachment, and then the picture shows up fine in the new email, but with the original one, I can't get the picture to appear.
    Has anyone had this problem?

    I'm having the exact same problem with my mail accounts. It started this weekend, I tap the picture or video file to download (full WiFi connection) and it either gives me a failed message after a few KB's or the download percentage resets to Zero.

  • How it can download email attachments automatically?

    I want to have my email attachments automatically downloaded from the server. Outlook does it.
    please advice how it could be done?

    If you enable View/Display Attachments Inline, picture, html and text attachments will automatically be downloaded and shown below the message body. For other file types, you have to do it manually, although it is possible to create a filter that saves attachments to an external folder.

  • How can I open email attachments from an Exchange server?

    When I am at home and accessing emails on my business email address I have to go through a Microsoft Exchange server. I can read the emails but whenever I try to open or download an attachment, I get the message: "To open this attachment, you must save it to your disk. Right-click the link, and then click Save. With a single-button mouse, hold the button down over the link, and then click Save."

    according to MS KB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061
    That file is made when someone is using Rich text format and attaches a file. Have them switch to either HTML or plain text and reatatch the file and you should see the proper attachments.

  • Automator workflow to download email attachments in a daily created folder

    dear forum participants and apple experts: i have created an intelligent mailbox in apple mail in which mail from a certain sender which has been sent on a certain day (normally today) is filed.

    I have succeeded in downloading attachments in a folder that was automatically labed with the date by using the email filter (without the detour of an intelligent mailbox) and despite the filter setting for a specific date, it always downloaded all attachments from all the dates the specfic sender has sent emails

    any help would be greatly appreciated. thx a lot in advance

    First try to do the same tasks in Safe Mode:
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Trouble downloading email attachments

    Can anyone enlighten me as to why all of a sudden (about a couple of months ago) email attachments such as pictures, wmv files and slides won't open any more. It looks as if the files are downloading but instead of then opening and playing, nothing happens. The black slideshow box opens and indicates however many pictures there are, but it just goes round in circles and remains black. Grateful for any help.

    No luck unfortunately
    I turned off all the security preferences I could (Filevault, waking the computer with password etc), except for the master password, and I still am having the same problem of my email attachments not downloading.
    While using Stellar Phoenix Demo to try and recover my deleted files,I had to create a new account, one for myself and one for the Root. Could creating either of these possibly have an effect? I know how stupid that sounds but the separate accounts and the master password being set are the only two options left that I can't change and I'm still having problems downloading attachements.

  • VPN:  Unable to see server files, download Email attachments

    I recently installed the Apani Contivity VPN client in order to connect my home iMac with my company's servers. The Apani product was the client specified by my company. I can access the company's servers, but cannot see individual files. According to my company's IT department, this is because my company uses Microsoft's Distributed File System, whick OS X is unable to access. Has anyone else had similar problems and know of a workaround? In what may be a related matter, when I connect through VPN to my company Email account, I am unable to open or download message attachments. I have used both Entourage and Thunderbird Email programs, again as recommended by my IT department. Can anyone offer any advice here?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hmm.
    I'm going to defer this to someone more adept at VPN's,
    but it sure sounds like permissions that aren't set properly on the server.
    Don't let your techies off the hook too easily.
    And as far as the attachments...is this using an email client, after you've made the VPN connection...on the 'inside'?
    (what kind of attachments, did you say? Word, pdf?)
    If you can't see files in those folders, there's a probability that you don' t have "permissions" to run the programs associated with the attachments.
    See why it sure looks like it's falling back on your network gurus.
