How do I download an attachment from an e mail?

I can open a pdf or whatever in my client e mail or on the web browser (Safari) but how do I save it so I can open it later without opening mail?
Thanks for your hlep.

You need an app in which you can save the attachment. The iPad does not have a folder structure like a computer that you can files into so you need a compatible app for the file type that you want to save.
For instance, apps such as iBooks or Adobe Reader (both free) will allow you to save PDF files from an email. You can tap and hold down on the PDF icon and then use the Open In feature of iOS and select either iBooks or Adobe Reader and that will save the file into that app.

    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.

  • How can I download an attachment on my iPAD 2, edit it and re-send?

    How can I download an attachment on my iPAD 2, edit it and re-send?
    Also how do I send a document from notes as an attachment on an email?

    Depends what kind of application you are downloading... U can use 3rd party software such as docs to go (it covers most of common documents). Else you can use word, numbers, or keynote apps.
    Just pressed and hold the attchment until a balloon appeared asking u whether u want to open in docs to go or quick look or u can swlect "open in" and it will give u other apps option.
    If u use docs to go, Just edit the docs and send from it
    For notes, i dont think u cant send it as attachment. However, you can just send it on emails. Just press the envelope button on the bottom of the note and it automatically put all the notes into the message in email
    Good luck

    You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

  • How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

    How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

    Hi littlemansa,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results. 
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

    There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.

    Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event"  > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

  • How can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?

    Hi all, how can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?*

    Over the years this issue crops up again and again. Here are the cases I know about:
    Case 1 - it simply doesn't work
    I have a message in my inbox with a jpeg of about 300Mb. Select message, choose option "remove attachment" which is not greyed out, and it does not work.
    Case 2 - it works if you save the message first
    I move the message from the inbox to a mail box. Open the mailbox (select), select the message, choose option "remove attachment", result: the attachment is removed, a small text file is added and an error appears in the message "missing plug-in". The message size is reduced from 300Mb to a few bytes.
    Case 3 - the option "remove attachment" is greyed out.
    I've googled this at least 10 times and read all the advice about editing various files from the library and all the other hacks. The simple truth here is that the user should not be inconvenienced by such inappropriate behaviour. We're not used to this from Apple any more, not since OS X. Even Windows does this stuff painlessly. In fact this kind of function is something that Outlook and Exchange do incredibly well. If they didn't the corporate world would have ground to a halt.
    My point: the remove attachment option should work all the time and should be redesigned. Right-click + save as + delete in the message would be a hundred times easier.
