How do i get pdf through the email app on an iphone?

A customer of mine was griping that he can't get a pdf file to open on his iphone.
so i sent him image files to try. All files are small of course.
I thought he was just a whiner, but i tested it, and I also cannot get pdf files or jpeg files to mail to my own phone.
the pdf doesn't even show up to download or anything. and the image screenclips emails aren't even received.
Is this something that the iphone just can't do? seems kind of basic.

If you scroll to the bottom of the eMail, it should be there in a little icon. Otherwise you may have a problem with your eMail host.

  • I cannot get yahoomail through the email icon on my iPad. I can get it on my iPhone and if I go through safari and then yahoo on my iPad. Gmail works fine

    I cannot get yahoomail through the email icon on my iPad since this morning. Gmail works and yahoomail works on iphone and if I go through safari and yahoo, works ok on iPad. I changed password, deleted account and restarted account, turned iPad on and off and still no mail

    My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.

    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

    How do I get rid of the red dot on my iPhone, phone icon ?

    If you did that already and looked at your recent calls and the red dot doesn't disappear then try rebooting the phone. Hold down the Sleep and the Home buttons until the Apple logo displays on the screen.

    How do I get rid of the photo stream on my iphone 5? Loads of weird icons I don't want/need.  Tx

    On your iOS device, you can remove photos from the Photo Stream view by turning off Photo Stream and then optionally turning it back on. You can do this at Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
    If you added any Photo Stream photos to other albums or the Camera Roll on your iOS device, you can locate and delete these photos manually.

    How can I get out of the flashing Apple screen on Iphone 3 ?

    Turn it off.  While pressing and holding the Home button, connect it to your computer with iTunes open.  Hopefully you will be able to restore it after that.  If not, it requires service.

  • How do I get rid of the UK store on my iPhone ?

    Hello,
    Thanks for a quick answer from wjosten. I have done what he suggested and I am in the French store and have been there all the time but I still can't get rid of the UK store on my iPhone ?? It's App store iTunes and kiosque. I can't get apps from the Uk store and the French store is avoiding to download too!
    What can I do ?
    Best regards
    Lisser

    Try going to Setings > iTunes and App Store > AppleID > View Apple ID and switch to the UK store, then from the AppleID drop down pane, Sign Out.  Start over at Settings > iTunes & App Store > AppleID and and ssign in again and then select the French store and see if it hasn't dropped the UK store.

  • HELP, Plz- Yahoo vs Outlook -how can I get pdf docs to email thru Yahoo?

    When I scan document into computer thru adobe (whatever version they just automatically loaded), I have two problems
    1)  I can only get them to be emailed thru Outlook which I don't have and can't seem to cut & paste into Yahoo ... any suggestions, even in how I'm trying to do this.  Scanner is from 3-in-1 HP 8500A (if that helps)  I at least got most of the printer's capabilities to work on my own.
    2)  When I use Tool and convert pdf to some type of Word doc (doc/docx) - and then click on 'save' - I have no idea where they've been stored; I don't think I get any kind of choice.
    Anyone want to be a 'good-guys' attorneys advisor on little things -- good karma?  I work pro bono w/no staff help - even clean the office myself.  And despite, from the above clear indication of my astute comprehension of all things 'tech', I sometimes have what are probably simple (what a great secretary would already know --secretaries/legal assistants really run the show while the lawyer (or office cleaner) can just sound good.    PLZ just some help w/above questions... ? 

    Not sure how this used to work on your iPod Touch since there is no setting for an email account preferences to not save sent messages. With an IMAP account, there is an option to store sent messages on the server, or locally on the iPhone. There is no do not save sent messages setting, and the same for the email account preferences with a POP account.

  • How do you get sound through the dock connector to a PC or Mac?

    Where I work they have blocked the Pandora website. (Along with just about every other online radio site.) They don't mind if we listen to music, as long as it's not streamed online through their network.
    I have both a PC & a Mac on my desk.
    What I would like to do is listen to my Pandora app from my iPhone by plugging the dock connector into a Mac or PC. This would keep the battery drain to a minimum & allow for better quality.
    When I plug in the dock connector the phone starts charging & iTunes want's to sync. I can run the Pandora app, but no sound comes through the computer.
    Does anyone know how to get the audio to come from the dock connector & play through the computers sound card?

    You have several choices:
    1. Composite AV Cable: has a dock connector on one end and USB, RCA line out and RCA composite video on the other. It also comes with an AC Adaptor.
    2. Component AV Cable: same as the Composite AV Cable but with RCA component video.
    3. Universal Dock: has a dock connector socket on it and a line out socket.
    4. iPhone 3G Dock or the (original iPhone Dock): same as the Universal Dock but designed just for the iPhone.
    All you need is somewhere to plug the line out into.

  • Have a 2 year old ipad2 and while speakers work fine I can no longer get sound through headphones, how can I get sound through the headphones?

    I have a two year old ipad2 and while the speakers work ok I can no longer get any sound through the headphones? If any one has any suggestions on how I can get sound to come out of the headphones I would be grateful.

    System Preferences --> Sound --> uncheck the mute button next to the Output volume (assuming it is set).  Or move the Output volume slider.
