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

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)

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.

I can't download attachments from emails! Help please!

Lately, I cannot open or download any Word documents or PDFs that have been sent to my email account. I wondered if anyone could help me to rectify this please? I use a MacBook (one of the old white ones - maybe time to invest in a new one????)
Thanks, K xx

Thanks for that BDAqua! This has solved my dilema! I'd forgotten all about right-clicking!
Thank you so much!

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.

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.

HT2488 How do I create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScripts to download an excel file from a specific webpage?

I would like to create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScript (or a combination of the two), that opens Safari to a specified page and downloads an excel file from this page and saves the downloaded document to my desktop.
Is this something that be done? If so, how?
I have so far been able to build a workflow in Automator to open Safari and added an AppleScript that takes Safari to a specific page that has an Excel document.
I can't figure out where to go from here... Any help would be apprecitated.
Thanks!

Would you have the web address the excel sheet is on?
Is there a simular web page you could point to if not?
Would there be a copy of the file on an FTP page. This would be easier.

Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
# Press return to run a command.
the curl is a terminal command ( Unix ). It allows you to read a file off of the web.
man curl
provides cryptic information on the commnad curl.
press the space bar to advance a page.
press letter to q to quit.
What you may have to is to read in the web page as a text file. Go "fishing" through the page to find the excel file you need. Once you find the file, you can use curl to read the file.
curl is a very full featured command. (read complex to figure out ).
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
    log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix

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

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.

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.
