  • TS3988 Cannot download attachments in emails

    I did a hard reset on my iPhone just recently. I went through and set up my iCloud items.  When I go to download attachments from emails I get the following message: "The connection to the server failed".  Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this problem?  Thanks.

    WHat attachments? What "Adobe"? What did you do? You need to explain better and provide the necessary technical information.

  • Cannot download attachments from mail application

    when opening attachments from emails, i have recently had to go [via safari] into my .mac account to download directly.
    if i try to do this via mail, it stops responding and i eventually have to force quit.
    any ideas?
    thanks

    JT,
    Please test with Don't Keep Any Copies for Offline Viewing. I am trying to relate what is being report in this Topic, to that discussed in an earlier Topic, at:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=253262&tstart=0
    In the latter case, a symbol of a pie, or timer is seen beside the Inbox of the .mac account, indicating activity is still going on. Keeping the copies is only related to your Mac, and not the server, and unless you are going to view while Offline, are not necessary.
    I am not suggesting this should have to be the case, but rather gathering more info about a general problem (but one I don't notice on my primary computer), and to provide a temporary workaround.

  • I am having trouble downloading attachments from email

    I have an iPad 2 that has been upgraded to IOS 7.0.4. This was a problem before the update - which is the reason for the update but that's another story.
    So for now, iPad 2 IOS 7.0.4 16GB wifi/cell model
    I am having trouble downloading attachments. Not all. but some. a movie in particular and some documents.
    I would thingk it was the email account but I can open it on my iPhone without issue.
    I would've thought the link was bad but I forwarded it one of my other email accounts and it opens fine.
    I have restarted, rebooted, deleated the mail account and reloaded it.
    Still nothing. I have tried to save the video by clicking the "Save Video" icon when you tap and hold the video but it never saves.
    Sometimes it will act like it is going to save because I get a black screen and a rotating flower in the middle of the screen and it says "Loading" but it never does anything. Other times it will just give me a message that says "Can't download attachement".
    Any one have any thoughts?

    What is your connection via speedtest.net ?
    Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify network interference
    Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

  • I cannot download attachments from mail

    I tap on an attachment and it tells me it's unable to download the attachment

    Hi Thank you for getting back to me . When I click on Save ( save to my compuer) i get a quick scanning attachment and nothing happens after that.   Browsing through different answers to in the support groups I found that someone else facing the same problem decided to forward to the mail to a different email account and try downloading. Yahoo to Gmail as in my case. I tried that and it worked. However I would prefer to solve this issue from yahoo mail.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/3009211#3009211
    Apparently there was an answer to the problem in the past but it seems to have now been deleted/archived?
    Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
    so far I have tried a different browser, deleted cache. history, checked if files are being downloaded elsewhere, folders, desktop etc ( they are maent to go to downloads)  Created a new used id for my computer logged in from it and tried.
    but forwarding the same mail to my Gmail account and downloading from there has worked.
    Thank you.

  • Create a workflow on automator. Download attachments from email and import to iphoto

    I would like to create a workflow on automator to do the following task: save email attachments (photos) from an specific inbox to downloads, for example, and then, import to iphoto.
    I would like to do this on automator rather than applescript.
    I have tried using "get an especific mail item" and then "get attachments", but it does not work.
    Thank you very much

  • Cannot download attachments from Yahoo! Mail in Firefox or Safari. It scans and that's it...

    Also, I no longer see the download icon in upper right corner of mail screen. It's a circle with a downward facing arrow and it's just gone.

  • 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.

  • Since the update to 7.0.1 I am unable to open download updates to IE 8. Nor can I download a fresh version of AOL 9.0vr or download attachments from web beased e-mails. Is there a problem with Firefox, please?

    I have several problems.
    1. I cannot download attachments from web based e-mail accounts (AOL & Tesco.Net) without Firefox crashing and having to be restarted.
    2. I can no longer start Internet Explorer 8
    3. I can't download a new version of IE 8 or AOL 9.0VR. The .exe files download and run but the remainder of the download and installation process does not happen.

  • Download files from email

    am new to iphone, how do you download attachments from email into iphone ?

    If you are referring to documents, spreadsheets, presentations, etc., you will need to download an app that can open those. I recommend Keynote, Numbers, and Pages; these are apps made by Apple. They are a bit expensive, but there are also File Viewer apps on the App Store. They just aren't quite as good.

  • Hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

    hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

    What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
    The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type.

  • Why do I have to use safari to download attachments from my emails in mavericks?

    I would like to download attachments from my email using a different internet browser. I like to use firefox but it seems if you recently upgraded to Mavericks. You may only download attachments with safari. Maybe firefox needs an update or apple really wants us to try the new safari (What I think) which is annoying to contantly learn new browsers because they have a new one released. Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Firefox is working for me with Mavericks just as it was working with Mountain Lion. But I use POP mail and Thunderbird, not webmail.  So I cannot test what you are trying to do, download attachments.

  • Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

    Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

    Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
    I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.
