Cannot view email attachments unless....

I have been experimenting sending various word and Excel sheets as attachments and opening them in Mail on the iPhone.
The documents I send without an extension in the filename ( .doc or .xls) cannot be viewed on the iPhone, but if I send the same file and add the appropriate extension, it is viewable as noted in the user guide.
Are others noting this effect? Seems too "Windows-like", haha.
Bill

I have tested more file types, and get same result. That is, to view attachments in iPhone mail the sender must have the appropriate extention on the file name, eg. .xls .doc .pdf ........

Cannot view email attachments after ios update

I have an ipad3 and just downloaded ios 8.2. Now, when I view emails I cannot view the attachments. Is there something I need to change? I checked up storage and still have 35GB left.

Hi, Grumpy Girl.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to view email attachments on your iPad. Try forcing all open applications to close and restart the device. Once this is done, see if you are able to view the attachments.

Cannot save email attachments to folders in Finder

Ughhh, I'm getting a sinking feeling.... It's happening again.
Ever since I installed Mavericks back in June of 2014, I've had nothing but problems. In fact, the actual install (perhaps coincidentally, I'm told) caused my hard drive to fail in mid-install, even though it was only 2 years old. Apple Care cheerfully paid for the new hard drive and installed Mavericks for me, but ever since my previously fast, responsive computer has been incredibly sluggish, lots of beach balls, tons of problems with things like the one I'm experiencing again today -- can't save email attachments to folders in Finder (the computer behaves as if the save was successful, but when you go look in the Finder later, you discover it was never saved anywhere). Also, I can't create any new folders because it says the location is Read Only (I've tried various file locations -- same result).
Since June, after countless visits to the Genius Bar and all sorts of attempts to fix the accumulating problems, the Genius erased my User Library last December in a final attempt to get the computer to work right before my Apple Care ran out. It was one of many attempted fixes that would actually work pretty well for a few days, but then the problems would accumulate again.
Last week, Word kept crashing. I took it to the Genius Bar and the June 2014 hard drive failed a diagnostic test. Even though Apple Care had expired, Apple replaced the hard drive for free because they could see the long list of notes from all of the visits I had made to the Genius Bar. I restored everything and, although it seemed to be working okay at first, I was still getting a lot of beach balls. Sometimes it can take 30 seconds to open a Word document, even if the application is already open. (FYI, I don't keep a lot of applications running.) But at least it was working. Today, however, I'm seeing some of the old familiar problems creep in. I cannot save email attachments to a folder. I cannot create new folders. I've tried restarting the computer multiple times. All of this was working fine as recently as yesterday.
1. Am I doing something that is causing this? This is my sixth Mac and I've never a serious problem with ANY of the others (including one that I bought USED) and I use them at least 8 hours a day. As far as I know, I'm doing everything the same way I've always done it.
2. Has anyone else encountered this "Read Only" problem and do you know how to fix it? I'm starting to think this is just a bad computer and that this is a symptoms that something is very wrong again.
3. Do I simply need to start over with a brand new computer (although, frankly, I'm scared to restore everything onto a new computer and risk "infecting" the new one). This is my work computer and I am self-employed, so I really cannot afford to be running to the Genius Bar once or twice a week any longer. Any advice? It's a MacBook Pro that I bought in December 2011. According to the stats, I'm using 354.68 GB of my 499.25 GB storage capacity.
Sorry this is so long. Just trying to give the context.

Try taping the attachment once or twice to close it.

Cannot see email attachments?

I cannot see the attachments on emails. Does anyone knows what I need to configure to be able to see them?
I can see attachments on any other object, for example opportunities, but not on emails.

Hi Joel,
You should do the screen configuration. From the screen configuration, you can enable the attachment view.
If you are administrator, then you can publish changes too everyone. To do the screen configuration, you should do the following steps:
1. Open the Microsoft Silverlight@ mode from adapt link\tab on right corner top of your the screen
2. Go to Adaptation mode from adapt link\tab on right corner top of your the screen
3. Open the Email activity
4. Open the screen configuration mode( edit screen ) from adapt link\tab on right corner top of your the screen
5. Select the Attachment ( make it checked ) for tab
6. Save and publish your changes for everyone.
Hope this will help to configure the attachment view for email activity..

Cannot view email accounts or list-only the most recent email

Hi,
For some reason, I cannot view the email IDs configured on my phone, or the emails in those IDs. All i can see is the last email sent to me, with the From and to fields and text of the email. There are no back, reply, delete etc button, and I cant just swipe it away either. Any suggestions?
Thanks

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:

How do I delete downloads for Adobe flash to I can up date? I cannot view email videos without updating.

How do I remove my old Adobe Flash download? I cannot view videos my children have sent via e-mail without upgrading Adobe Flash. Instructions directed me to remove the old download if I was having trouble. I now have 7 downloads and can't get any Adobe videos. thank you

It is not that they are sending flash videos. Any video they send via there Mac or phone seem to need the update for me to view. Since one family is abroad and my youngest, a musician, lives across the country they keep me in their lives with videos. With the musician I can get videos on itunes but not in an e-mail or his website. I always have a note come up that I need to upgrade Adobe to see the video. I have tried dragging the multiple downloads to trash but they don't get removed. thanks for replying

Cannot save email attachments on iphone 4

I am having trouble saving pdf email attachments with ibooks

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4163441?tstart=0
Add your locations to this thread. The store seems to be down.

I can't view/open attachments unless I use the option "view in classic reader". This is very unhandy. Any ideas on how to fix? Version 31.3.0

I use Thunderbird (Ver 31.3.0) for several email accounts and on my main account only, it rarely shows the attachments in the email. There used to be a button to click on to either "preview", "open", or "save" ("preview" option is only for pdf attachments). That whole menu bar is gone. But only on my main account, the other accounts all work okay. The only way that I've found to be able to get to the attachment is to use the "view using the classic reader". Then I have to click on the attachment and it downloads it and opens it up. I'd like to get the options back without having to do all the extra clicking to get to the attachments.
Thanks!
~Konce

Yes, when I disable the conversations add-on, I can then get to the attachment...but I like the conversations add-on otherwise and it used to handle the attachments just fine.

Cannot open email attachments

I suddenly cannot open .jpg, .jpeg or .pdf attachments in my email. This problem is happening both on my iPad and my iPhone4.

If you go into Options | Advanced Options | Applications is the Attachment Service listed? If not when you reloaded the software you have to make sure that the Attachment Service is checked to be installed with the rest of the software

Viewing Email Attachments in pps

Good Morning!
I've just recently got my mac and am having a few teething problems which no doubt I'll get used to! Mainly I can't view any pps attachments in my emails. I believe I need some kind of software compatible with power point, but as I only need it for emails I don't really want to pay a fortune for software. Has anyone got any ideas or tips, or can tell me the best software for the job which is reliable.
Thank you in advance.

Answering quickly, options for viewing PowerPoint files without having PP include Keynote (part of Apple's iWork suite) and NeoOffice, both of which can import PowerPoint files. For further information on options, I'd suggest taking this up in the Using Mac OS X forum.
Regards.
