Cannot save photos from email (iOS 4)

Well, that's not entirely true:
If I get an email with a photo attached, I can see the photo just fine. I can go through the Save procedure just fine. But when I go to the Photo Album to view the photo, I can't open it directly. I have to open the image previous to it, and then scroll tot he next image to see it. And when it does open, it's not the image that I saved, but rather it's the Photo Album thumbnail of the image that opens!
Help?

Using iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2. I just noticed today that I am having the same problem. It appears to just be an issue with jpg files. I have successfully saved other formats (tif, gif, png) to my camera roll directly from email.
My friend is running iOS 4.1. His phone has the same problem. I think this started with 4.1 and was not fixed with 4.2.
I hope this is fixed with the next update (4.3?) as jpg files seem to be the most commonly used image file type.

I cannot save photos from email or facebook to "my pictures" file & have gone through the suggestions up to changing applications in tools/ options/ application

The download window shows 'open' but it is in gray instead of black when I right click. If I double left click, it does nothing. It simply isn't saving the photo. It seems to me it worked a couple of weeks ago but hasn't worked since.

I'm just trying to print my online pay stub
Since my printer isn't working, I'd like to save document to my desktop ("save as" is the only option given to me) and send it as an attachment to a friend's computer and working printer.
What browser are you using?
Are you trying to print or to save the doc? Whether you have a working printer or not is really immaterial. If you're trying to print, then File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF…. If the resulting PDF is small enough (<5MB, though my preference is <1MB), e-mail it to your pal. If it's too big, transfer it using a chat programme or a file service (MediaFire, RapidShare, etc).
Now, I am currently trying to send the document directly (via email, an option given under "file") the pay stub from my employer (who uses ADP online payroll services), to that computer and working printer ....and I'm receiving a window (with apple mail logo on it) that begins with "To view this page, you must log in to this area on agateway.adp.com:443:" and asks for "name" and "password". I've put in both ADP's information, and what I believe (could be very wrong) to be apple mail's information, and either/neither/nothing seems to work!
I don't understand any of this. You need to explain better—or perhaps just post a screen shot (blank any private or confidential info on it prior to posting).

How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

I cannot save photos from a webpage with a right click. Why not?

I cannot save photos from any webpage using a right click on Firefox, so I must open Internet Explorer to do that, yet my friend can do it on FF with his computer. Why is that?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed firefox

Issues with the right-click context menu not working can be caused by the [http://toolbar.yahoo.com/ Yahoo Toolbar] (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Save Photo from Email

I can save photos from Facebook by touching and holding the photo, but when a photo is sent to me by email, that doesn't work.
Is there a way to do it?

Actually touching and holding on a photo in Mail should bring up the selection of actions box which includes "Save to Camera Roll"
If this really doesn't work then have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

How do I save photos from email directly into correct album of iphoto?

how can I save photos to the correct album in iphoto directly from email? I've been emailed photos I can't figure out how to save. Thanks!

You can drag a photo from the email window onto the Album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and it will be added to that Album. The photo will be in its own Event but will also be in the Album you dragged it to.

TS4435 Cannot save photos from Mail to iPhoto!

We have been UNABLE to save photos for FIVE months and have asked Apple Staff anf Joint Venture for help.
ONLY NOW we find out that Apple KNOWS about this and refuses to repair it!
I am sorry, but this is NOT the Apple we knew under Steve!!!

This problem is an OS problem not an iPhoto one, so it will take an OS update to fix it, not an iPhoto one.
10.8.2 is the current version of the Operating System. I got it from Software Update, like everyone else does.

Cant save photo from email IPad 2 iOS 8.1.1

Suddenly there is no option to "save to camera roll" when you long press a photo in an email. What to do?

With a long tap you should see a screen that includes several choices, one of which is "Save Image." That choice will save the image to the Camera Roll. If you do not get the screen of choices I suggest quitting the Mail app and then reset your iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Cannot save photos from Mail, faded iPhoto icon?

Hi,
Stumped again, I have been emailed 11 photos as an attachment in my Mail application. I want to place the photos into iPhoto, logically click SAVE and hold and then SAVE ALL....the next window opens and looking at PICTURES, the iPhoto Library is faded out, not allowing for saving.
Seems I have missed something, previous to iPhoto '08 this was not an issue in my memory.
Solutions?
Cheers, SZ

It works for me so there's gotta be some glitch in your library or application. Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HT4993 Since I did the ios update yesterdayI cannot save photos (ie from facebook) they will not save in my camera roll)

Since I updated yesterday to the iOS6 day I cannot save photos (ie from Facebook) to my photos.. any help from anyone would be great.

I've noticed that with the iOS update, you're not asked if you want to allow the app to access photos or something. I said do not allow on Facebook thinking that it would upload pictures without my permission. Really this allows you to save photos to your camera roll. Now I have to figure out how to undo this....
You've been able to save photos from Facebook since at least the last update. You just touch the picture for 2-3 seconds and a menu will pop up asking if you want to save it/make profile picture/cancel/etc.

I'm no longer able to copy photos from email to my iPad photo stream. The Save menu doesn't come up like it did before. When I press on the image, I only get the option to Copy, and I can't paste it into my photo stream.

II'm no longer able to copy photos from email to iPa stream. The Save menu does not come up Shen I press on the image like it did before.

Hi beerexpert,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPad. If you are having unusual menu or option behaviour, you may want to try restarting/resetting your device, as outlined below:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You may also want to double-check that you have available space, as noted here:
See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

After updating to IOS 6.0.1 I cannot copy photos from the iPhoto library to the iPhone. The events appear correctly but the photo count in all the Events is 0

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

After upgrade to IOS 5, cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer, Why?

Don't know why I cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer after upgrade to IOS 5.
I could find an external driver to get photos before.
and I cannot sync the website bookmarks to my computer.
What can I do to solve this problem...??
HELP pls!!

Try disabling Norton and syning. If that doesn't help try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.
If you continue to have trouble you can use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer your photos to your computer while you continue to try to troubleshoot this.
