Downloading attachment in gmail

I am having trouble downloading attachments in Gmail emails while using Safari. When I click on the download link, the attachments do not download. Thoughts?

Empty Caches
1. Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Quit Safari if open.
    Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" and then "Caches".
    Look for the folder 'com.apple.Safari"
    Right click "com.apple.Safari" and select "Move to Trash"
    Relaunch Safari.

How to download PDF attachment from gmail on iphone 5S

Hi,
How to download PDF attachment from gmail on iphone 5S

Hello Ram2910
You should be able to view them natively within iOS. If you can view them in safari and want to save them, then download iBooks or search for other apps that can view and save them.

Filed messages issue, could not download attachment

My Z10 seems to be having major issues downloading attachment from my Exchange account when there's a rule (client-side rule) that files this away. My Z10 is set to show filed messages and to sync this folder so it does come through, but I can't download the attachments (txt files).
If I forward the email to me to bypass the rule (via WebApp), I have no issues downloading the attachment.
In general, it seems as though I'm getting iffy support for filed messages (Gmail, via IMAP, doesn't alert on emails that bypass Inbox and are filed, but that folder/label is set to sync too).
Anyone have any ideas or am I just running into some bugs?

Hey jj619,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
To better investigate why the attachment is not downloading, we will need to gather some logs. Please contact your network service provider and ask to be transferred to BlackBerry.
Thanks for your patience.

Can not download attachments in gmail

I'm having problems downloading attachments in gmail. Any ideas?

I'll be honest, give up. As many of us have found, Gmail on iPads is truly not compatible. Nor is Yahoo for that fact. Apple wants you to use their Apple Mail.
I have a new iPad 3 and testing it against an Android tablet. I have no issues on an Android tablet. My issue is attaching things in Gmail. For instance, only the pics folders will open, but only pic folders contained in iPhoto or those I've taken with the iPad. I've got other files stored on my iPad with pics, and don't get the option to attach anything in them.

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...

Why are my pages documents unable to be attached in gmail

Since downloading Mavericks my Pages documents are unable to be attached in Gmail. Furthermore, in Final Cut Pro X videos that I attempt to post to
You Tube fail because, according to error window, network connection was lost. None of this happened before I upgraded to Mavericks.

Here are a couple of discussions indicating that Gmail is working on the Pages attachment issue. In the meantime, one workaround is to use Pages File Menu > Export To command and export to either a Word format or a Pages 09 format.

N8 can´t download attached files

Hi everyone,
I hope you can help me out. I have configured my 2 mail accounts (gmail and hotmail) on my new N8. I can properly read mails, but i can´t download most of the attached files to mails. I get an error "error downloading attached file nameoffile ".
As i said, some files do download while others do not.
Please, i need a hand as attached files are very important for my job.
Thanks in advance.

Hi you need to add the settings manually - no matter what you specify whilst you use the email set up wizard it will not download attachments unless you are within your home wlan
and each time you try to re run the wizard it will always use the same settings
I found the only way was to back up the phone using ovi suite
then *#7370#
onc eht ephone has reset you have to re enter the email info - when it asks you to accept the terms and conditions - say no
you will now get the option to enter the settings manaully
there are quite a few sub menus to navigate through but i f you are patient you will find them all
if you find the one about down loading 50 mails limit - you can back space out the 50 and enter 999
another menu alllows you to download attachments-- default is none lol
another menu allows you to check for mails fromevery 2 minutes to 5 days
once i had set up one account doing the others was easy and i get all my mail with attachements very nicely now
regards

Unable to view attachment in Gmail

Hi.
I have a problem using Safari on my iMac 20" Intel.
Since two weeks i'm unable to view and download attachment in my Gmail account using Safari.
Every time i have an attachment i must use Firefox.
It work fine on my iBook 12" G4.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance and sotty for my english!!
Bye.

I've had the same problem. Gmail "upgraded" their system a couple of weeks ago and since then I am unable to view or download attachments from Gmail with Safari. I'm also unable to access any of the options for an email (such as forward, reply all, etc.) except for reply because the new drop-down list to access those features doesn't work. Thanks Gmail. My work-around is to use Firefox or Camino.
Intel iMac Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

How to play MPG's when attached to Gmail message

I have only had my Thunderbolt for a few weeks. I use Gmail as my primary email program. I recently received an email message with two videos attached. One was a WMV and the other was an MPG. When I clicked on PreView, in Gmail, to play the MPG video, I saw a blue bar and the text reading Loading and then I received an error message "Sorry, this type of document is not supported for viewing". I was advised to install ArcMedia. I can download and play an MPG movie with ArcMedia, on the Thunderbolt. There is no option to Download an Attachment, in Gmail, on the Thunderbolt. There is just PreView.
I do not know how to make ArcViewer the default Media Player. When I installed VitalPlayer Neon, and clicked on PreView to play the attached MPG file, it just kept flashing between Portrait and Landscape and did not play anything.

By regular mail, do you mean setting up the Mail icon to pull down Gmail? Does that download my InBox to the Thunderbolt or does it leave it up on the Gmail server like the Gmail app does?
I do not understand why a media player, like ArcMedia, cannot be set as the default so that I can click on Preview and it will launch ArcMedia and play the MPG.
I downloaded and installed Download All Files. Now, when I click on Preview, it allows me to download the MPG, but then I have to open ArcMedia, find the file, and play it. If I just go to the Download folder and double click on the MPG, it will not play.
I do not know how often I will be receiving MPG attachments, but it is very time consuming if I have to Download, OpenArcMedia, and search for the file, each time I want to play it.

Lion Mail Downloadable Attachment

Hello,
My son set up my e-mail through Apple Mail on Lion.
I am attempting to send an image as a Downloadable Attachment.
I have it set to "windows friendly mode".
I changed my preferences from rich text to plain text.
I have right clicked the image and hit "view as icon".
It is still not a downloadable attachment.
Any ideas???

They are being sent to the All Mail folder. The inbox is pretty much unaffected.
I don't want to hide the All Mail folder and forget about it. I am after the messages gone forever. Especially from the All Mail folder.
I'm the kind of person who uses email like sms. I use it to contact people annd delete 95% of the messages after reading. I don't want them archived. I don't want them stored in the All Mail folder. I want them totally gone.
And yes it seems Mail is downloading all my messages over and over. So my question is how to stop the messages being stored/archived and to instead be totally deleted.
In the gmail settings I found:
Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Immediately delete the message forever. Instead of archiving it like I had set before. I'm not 100% sure if that'll fix the issue I am having. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me if I am on the right track.
And thanks for the quick reply.

Download attachment in Mail application is super slow

Whenever I download attachment from an email in Mail application, it super slow. It's 10 times slower than when I download the same attachment from Safari. So it means not because of the internet speed.
I don't know you guys have the same problem like me.
And another quesion, can we configure Mail app to automatically download attachment. Now everytime I receive an email, I have to open email and click on attachment to download it. It waste time to sit there and wait.

I have the exact same problem. 10 times slower download of attachements than if I simply login to webmail and download that way.
Anyone know a solution?

Downloading attachment file

Downloading attachment file on my Nokia Lumia 1520 is not possible...can someone help me please...thank you.

In order to troubleshoot, it would help to know what happens when you try, and also what kind of file you are trying to access.
Note that files attached to e-mails may cause problems if they are not recognised file types.

Urgent - download attachment like hotmail does?!

in javamail how to download a attachment?
i plan to
first: get the multipart from the message, and get the inputstream instance of it
sencond: make a new file,get the outputstream of it then wirte to the new file.
but i think in most mail services, people can rename the attachment file and then save it in the local disk as hotmail does.
how to implement that: a link which show the attachment's name( i can do this) then click to the link, a file dialog will pop up and user can save the file by whatever name.( i have no idea about it) then make the new file and save it( i can do this)
so any suggestion will be welcome. and thanks your help first.
best regards

When I open thunderbird ... all the accounts that I had downloaded from different gmail accounts have disappeared I need help thank you

A while back I downloaded about 15 gmail accounts so that i could cancel the gmail accounts ...
all was working fine ... but recently when I started thunderbird ... there was only 1 of the downloaded accounts remaining ... and even it was empty ..
I need some help in finding all the lost accounts and emails
Thank you

Assuming you are talking about imap accounts.
This is the process you would use:
You synchronised those accounts to download a copy to your computer.
Then you stopped the synchronising, so that the accounts did not keep updated to be the same as the server.
Then in Offline mode you would move all of those accounts emails into Local Folders, so that you would be able to delete the imap email accounts and keep all emails on your computer.
One possibility:
If the imap email accounts were still able to synch with the server and you had stopped the mail account, it may have done a final synch with an empty server, thus deleting all the emails to match the server. Synchronised imap accounts keep updated to match what the server folders contain.
First check to see if there are any emails in your Profile folder.
make hidden files and folders visible.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
In Thunderbird:
* Help > Troubleshooting information
* click on 'show folder' button
A new window opens showing your profile folder.
* click on 'ImapMail' folder
Do you see a list of your imap mail accounts?
If yes. click on an imap account name
Can you see eg: Inbox (not Inbox.msf) or any other folders you created which show as files with no extension - not *.msf?
If yes, do they have a decent size?
you can open these files using eg: Notepad to see if emails are listed.
If you can see only one imap mail account, check to see if there are any emails as previously described.
Then check to see if there is more than one Profile.
Click on the 'Profiles' in address line...see image below.
In my example I only have one xxxxxxxx.default account and it is open on that Profile.
If there is more than one, select the other Profile and check again for the imap mail accounts as previously described.
Please report back:
Did you stop synchronising those imap mail accounts?
Did you move a copy of all emails into Local Folders?
Did you stop/remove the mail accounts on the server?
Do you have one or more Profiles?
Do you see the imap mail accounts in the Profile folder?
Do you see any files containing the emails?
Additional:
After synchronising, downloading, stop synchronising.
Did you create a backup of the Profile folder?
