Cannot download attachments.

I have a message saying the server connection failed when trying to download attachments from my emails on iPad. How can I fix this problem?

Have you tried quitting the mail app completely?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Launch mail again and see if you can open the attachment.
Have you gone to your webmail account using Safari to see if you can open the attachment that way? .... just to rule out an issue with the attachment itself. The message you are getting in the mail app would seem to indicate that is not the problem but it's one more thing to try to rule out as the problem.

All of a sudden I cannot download attachments. How do I fix this?

all of a sudden I cannot download attachments. How do I fix this?

I have the same or similar problem. Using the Mac OS mail client, two PDF attachments to a received message are shown garbled. Here is an extract of what I see :

So I log into iCloud and try to see how these attachments show up. They seem to be there since I see this:
but when I try and download the files, they appear in my download folder as 0 byte files, ending in .pdf.html.
This is very annoying. I saw and could read these files yesterday, but cannot today.

Cannot download attachments with vista on HP laptop

I cannot download any attachments / files (pdf, jpg, etc.) using my HP laptop running Vista Home Premium with web-based email programs Juno.com or mail.com ; the problem started several weeks ago. This HP laptop is an AMD Turion Dual-Core.

Hi Hans,
your link just says what I already wrote in my post :-( - the question is: is there anything that can be done about this? Is there anything that NI will do about this? What am I supposed to tell my customer with an HP notebook? "Sorry mate, HP notebooks are not supported by us"?
cheers

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit

Trouble downloading attachments in gmail/Firefox-IE

Since this morning, I cannot download attachments in gmail using Firefox or IE (I did not try out Chrome). Since I have this problem in multiple browsers, the issue seems to stem from my computer, but still I'd appreciate any suggestions...

I get this with all the attachments, though! Have a look at at the attached picture...

Cannot download email attachments windows 7 lion bootcamp MacBook Pro.

I cannot download or upload email attachments with windows 7 on lion bootcamp. Attached files such as xxx.doc, yyyy.jpg, or zzz.txt erroneously try to download as *icloud* and of course fail. By * I mean alphanumeric string. icloud mail tries to download perfectly good files as gibberish. On my mac lion side the mail function works fine. On the bootcamp side all non-icloud mail functions and browser functions work fine. I can easily send, forward, reply to and receive icloud mail. The only thing wrong is that I cannot sucessfully unload or download icloud email attachments.

You will have better exposure for your query in the Boot Camp forum:

Cannot download any attachments from my email on iOS 6

When trying download attachment from emails after downloading iOS 6 I get an error message that says I cannot download attachment. Prior to iOS 6 these same attachments would pull up with no problems

Did you figure this out?
Do you see an option to "download full message" at the bottom of the email? (See the attached photo showing the "download full message" button at the bottom of the email window).
My mom was having a problem like yours on her iPod. Referring to the photo attached to this forum post, if she tapped on "image.jpeg" she would get a pop-up error that said "cannot download attachment" and her only option was to tap OK on the pop-up to clear it. We figured out that scolling to the bottom of the message and tapping on "download full message" would successfully download the image.jpeg file attached to the email.
