Cannot download web email attachments!

Saturday I installed Leopard as an archive/install on my then-flawlessly running MBP. Since that time I have tried multiple times to download attachments from my gmail accounts (work uses google biz apps), and everytime I try to download anything larger than a small compressed pdf an error pops up and refuses to download it. These are larger .ai files, but still well within normal range of what has been downloaded w/no problem many times before.
It does this no matter if I try to access the files via Firefox 2.0.0.8, Safari 3 or the latest version of Mailplane. This is extremely frustrating for me and if there isn't a fix to this bug soon I'm going to have to reinstall Tiger.
What can be done?

Can you be a bit more specific or post a screen shot ?

Since i reinstalled OSX i am having trouble downloading my email attachments

since i reinstalled OSX i am having trouble downloading my email attachments. I have updated the system.

I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

This sounds like your authentication settings have been screwed up - I've had this a couple of times after Yosemite installs/upgrades.
Check you have the correct port settings and authentication type. Sometimes changing the setting then changing it back works.

Limiting download of email attachments

We use Exchange at work and I have an Iphone. I'm going to be abroad on holiday and I would like to know if it's possible to turn off the automatic download of attachments on email so that I don't end up with a large bill!! (I get lots of large attachments as part of my job).
I cannot find how to do this - can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi Mike,
We used Nokia phones before and there we could even limit the size of incomming emails (the body of the message) to x kb. For attachments, only the name of the attachment was shown. Clicking in the attachment would start the download.
Now we are starting with iPones..... and yes we have the same problem you have !
This morning at 8am my colleague flew to Denmark at 11am he called, he received a text message
from our Dutch provider (KPN) that his data usage is at 50 Euro and that unless he sends a text message
back his data will be blocked.
So in say 2 hours he used 50 Euros of data !!
With my Nokia E72 I travelled to Austria this winter and in 9 days !
with the setting only 2kb of text from each email to be downloaded and no attachments
I did NOT reach the 50 Euro "limit"

TS1506 iphone iOS 7.0.4 won't open/download/save email attachments

I just bought the a new iphone 5s running iOS 7.0.4. I cannot open, download or save any email attachments. This is critical in running a business when I need to view an image or document when I'm out of the office! It works perfectly fine on my old phone running iOS 6. There seems to be a lot of people with the same problem and no fix yet. Disappointing to say the least. Apple, when will you be fixing this?

Hey Shaymom,
I found these these steps for when you receive an error or alert message when attempting to update or restore your iPhone:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Verify that your computer operating system is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after restarting.
On a Mac: In the Apple () menu, choose Software Update. Install all available updates.
On a Windows PC: Go to the Microsoft Windows Update page.
Check your security software: Note: Most restore issues are caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software, firewalls, and network router settings or firmware.
Isolate the issue to third-party software.
Update security software.
Properly configure your security software.
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software.
Temporarily remove any unnecessary USB devices, leaving only your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the USB cable that came with your device, and a keyboard and mouse, if necessary.
Restart your computer and try again.

I can't download my email attachments!!

Please help, I keep finding that a lot of my email attachments are not available to download.
All I see on the header of my email's are things like:
2 Files
It only seems to be a problem with BT Yahoo. I use a Mac with OSX Lion. I have asked people to forward their attachments to another mail provider and the attachments come through fine.
Many thanks in advance.

You seem to be yet another one sufferingthe attachment download problem. The helpdesk told me 10MB was the maximum size of attachment that could be downloaded to MSOutlook etc.
However, I have had connection fail with e-mails having smaller attachments, so I am not convinced that is the answer. The work round is to log on via BTYahoo, and move any e-mails with attachments to another folder, this should allow other e-mail to download OK.
How long before this problem is the subject of a BBC Watchdog programme?

Cannot receive some email attachments

I'm having a problem with just a few received emails not having an attachment that it was sent with. The attachment is an audio file smaller than 2 mb. I can send the audio file. I can get an email from the person, but not an email with the attachment. If the email has the attachment, it won't come to me at all. I can get it with it being forwarded by another person, and retrieving it from my Earthlink server with Thunderbird, but not with Mail. Also, I have 1 person with a hotmail account that I cannot get an email from, in Mail, or Thunderbird. I've checked all of my blocked sender lists, my rules, and spam filters. They don't show up in trash, junk mail folder, or anywhere else.
Anybody have suggestions?
Message was edited by: Ronald Highfill

Yeah, I'm going to contact Earthlink when I have a spare 30-40 minutes. I have already tried to get it through the webmail, and it doesn't show up at all, not even as deleted, moved to spam, or anything.
Thanks for the advice.

I've gathered that it's probably a jnlp syntax error, but I don't know what is causing it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Nivi

Let me add a little more information. I've got a java desktop program, developed in netbeans. It compiles fine and runs on my desktop. However, when attempting to web startify it, I have problems. I have included the jnlp code below. And if you want to see the error, go to www.footcareeverywhere.org/Application/launcher.php.
It starts the process, but then gives me an error saying it cannot load resource launcher.php. How could it have started processing the file without being able to find the file?
This site needed to be up 2 days ago, and I desperately need to get this working.
Please help!

Problems downloading larger email attachments over...

I do work on friends/family PCs and I've had a number of cases (on seperate machines) of emails with larger attachments (2mb+) not being downloaded correctly. The POP3 connection either drops before the email is fully downloaded or the email is downloaded, but not removed from the server meaning no other email will come through.
Is this a known issue with BT broadband's email service?

It's Yahoo! alright, and this is not the most serious problem that has occurred. BT's success in getting resolution has been slow and limited. Heaven knows what the service level agreement (if they got one) says.
I'd say not being able to recieve email is a pretty serious problem!
Sorry, clumsy wording. I was referring to the even more serious problem of not being able to connect with BT Yahoo! at all, and didn't intend to belittle your situation. They've had more than enough time to resolve all the issues.

Cannot read opened email attachments

i'm able to download attachments that are attached to my emails on cox.net, which is my email provider, (i connect to the internet through safari) but when i try to open them, they are a mish-mash of letters and symbols, and are undecipherable. i got my macbook in december, and i have not been able to read one email attachment of any sort from anyone, and i can't find an option list or anything like that to allow me to choose how to open the downloads, so i'm not sure what to do. actually, it's not just attachments connected to emails, come to think of it, it's downloads from other sites too. can someone who is a lot more computer savvy then me, please help!? thanks.

I'll assume you're not an experienced user.
Files are made to be opened with specific kinds of applications. You can see the app associated with each file by highlighting the file, hitting command + I and looking down about 2/3 of the way.
Another thing to try is to highlight the file and then hit the space bar. If the file is a normal file of most kinds, then QuickLook should pop it open in a window.
To get more information, you need to say what kinds of files you're talking about. One simple issue may be that you are trying to look at .wmv files. These are windows media and will play on a mac through at least three different ways - but you have to do something:
1. download vlc player from videolan.org. The best media player around and it's free.
2. Install Perian. Search for it and read what it does.
3. The Microsoft blessed way is to install flip4mac. Search for it. The player is free.

Cannot download blueyonder emails to both iPhone and Mac Mail

Up until very recently I was receiving blueyonder emails on both my Mac Mail app on my MacBook and on my iPhone.
Now the emails will only download to the device it hits first. So, if I receive emails on my iPhone overnight, they wont be received on my MacBook/Mac Mail app when I switch it on and vice versa.
It's a blueyonder (virgin media) email account using POP3.
Macbook is running Mac OS X 10.5.8
Iphone 3G running 3.1.2
Any ideas what to do to receive the emails on both devices?

Hi I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. They have posted a solution on their website it's just hard to find!
All you have to do is in your phone mail settings you have to add "recent:" before your username (I've put it before address and description as well just incase)
so for example:
recent:[email protected]
here is the info from the website
How do I download mail to multiple POP email programs?
Important information for customers who download Virgin Media Mail using several email programs or on different computers or devices
To access your messages with multiple POP email programs, use recent mode in every client to make sure that all messages are made available, rather than only to the first client to access new mail. Recent mode fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it's been sent to another POP client already.
To enable Recent mode, replace '[email protected]' in the Username field of your POP client settings with 'recent:[email protected]' and ensure that the Leave messages on server option in your POP client is enabled.
POP Download settings - keeping copies in your webmail inbox when you download messages to Outlook or other programs
By default, when messages are downloaded by Outlook Express or other email programs, Virgin Media Mail is set to keep Virgin Media Mail's copy in the Inbox. This means that we keep a copy in your webmail inbox so it can be accessed online via webmail, or by other email programs on different computers or mobile devices.
If you want to change this, you can go to Forwarding & POP/IMAP within Settings, and next to When messages are accessed with POP select one of these options in the drop-list:
- archive Virgin Media Mail's copy
- delete Virgin Media Mail's copy
If you chose to keep or archive Virgin Media Mail's copy, these messages will eventually fill up your mail quota, but remember that with Virgin Media Mail you do have lots of space.
Please note that some email programs may be set to delete your messages when they are downloaded, but the setting within Virgin Media Mail will override the options set in your email program.

Downloading PDF Email Attachments

I emailed myself a PDF attachment I can view it and dowload it via email but is there a way to save the attachment to the phone or do I have to keep it attached to my email ?

No. You cannot save it. Leave it in your e-mail if you need to save it.

Cannot download former emails

After a system fault , when had to exit Windows 8.1 by turning off with the power button , there was a problem with Thunderbird .
In the map Postbox In , emails had disappaired covering a certain date period . The option to repair the .msf file gave no solution , also the command to get emails , did not give a download of the missing emails .

I looked at the link suggested and checked my settings. I did compact the inbox. Tbird is looking for mail and tries to download message 1 of 116, but then tells me "No messages to download." That is what the Activity Manager says also. I am not accepting cookies.
