How do I not automatically download photos in Apple Mail?

How do I not autmatically download photos when I open Apple Mail. I lve on a boat and internet by the satellite gets expensive. I would like to know how to turn off automatic photo downloads.

Check with your email provider.  Blocking images is a function they usually can provide.

  • How do I disable automatic download of email in Mail OSX preferences?

    In Mail Preferences/General, I have selected "Check for new messages - Manually." In spite of this, Mail has downloaded fresh messages waiting for me to read when I return to my iMac. In other words, it's not doing it Manually, but automatically.
    I will soon be travelling for a few weeks. I want to be able to read my mail from an iPad on the road. If the iMac keeps downloading fresh email I wouldn't be able to read it when I'm away from home. My only choice seems to be to go in and change the settings (uncheck Remove copy from server....) in all six of my mail accounts in order to leave messages on the server for the iPad to access. I don't understand what the Check for messages Manually in the General settings is good for.

    Thanks for the suggestion. It makes sense. Unfortunately, my wife will be using the iMac while I'm gone, so she would have to forward what she thought was important. Seems odd to me that the Manual command doesn't seem to do anything.

  • Since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2, emails are not automatically downloaded.I have to either click on Get Mail or click in and out of mail inbox.

    Since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2, emails are not automatically downloading. I have to either click on Get Mail or click in and out om mailbox.
    It's very frustrating as it does not happen on my iPad or Iphone.

    Howdy welcon,
    It sounds like your Mail application is not checking for mail automatically anymore after updating to 10.10.2. It seems to me that the setting for this may have reset, or changed at some point thereafter so I would check the preferences for the Mail application:
    General preferences - Mail Help
    Check for new messages
    When Mail gets new messages from the mail server. By default, the option is set to Automatically (Mail varies how often it gets messages, based on whether your Mac is plugged into an electrical outlet).
    An IMAP account may get messages more frequently if the mail server supports the IDLE command; make sure the option to use it is selected in the account’s Advanced pane in Mail preferences.
    If you set the option to Manually, click the Get Mail button in the Mail toolbar to check for messages. (Whenever you click an IMAP or Exchange mailbox, it syncs with the server, and shows new messages.)
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?

    Hi:
    I've noticed previous queries (from 2008 and 2009) asking how to prevent Safari or perhaps Adobe Reader from automatically downloading .pdf files when they open them.
    I haven't had this problem recently until today. Previously, I would click a link and the .pdf file would open in a separate window. If I wanted to download the file I would have to select the download icon from the pop-up icons at the bottom of the page.
    Today when I click a link to a .pdf file, the file automatically downloads to my Download folder. Adobe Reader is opening the file. In its Internet Preferences, I deselected "Display PDF in browser using. . ." and "Allow speculative downloading. . ." to no effect.
    How can I get automatic downloading to stop?
    I also selected a .pdf file, pressed Command-I, and in the Open With section of the pane, tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect.

    pjmetz: You say "tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect." What effect did these changes produce? I am sure they didn't leave things as they were, did they? If they did, and Adobe Reader is strong-arming its way to causing all PDF files to download, try removing Reader and give it a test with no Reader-assist. Oh, I'm not trying to get you to give up on Reader. You can copy Reader to an ext. HDD for safe-keeping, and then trash it from the internal HDD, and empty the trash. Then test Safari. If Safari works correctly without Reader, get your answer from Adobe.com
    maxintaft: PDF files cannot be editied easily even on your HDD, mush less in a browser window. Whatever it is you are typing in (or have been typing in previously), it is not a PDF file, so your issue needs a new question, or contact the school site webmaster for help.

  • Why are my podcast subscriptions not automatically downloading?

    Some of my podcast subscriptions are not automatically downloading. New subscriptions are, but subscriptions that previously downloaded automatically no longer do so. When I re-subscribe, it does not solve the problem.

    Hello>
    I made changes to my rss file on my webserver two weeks ago and I do not see the updates on the iTunes site.
    How long on average does it take for the ITunes site to see my new changes?
    Thank you.

  • Most recent episode not automatically downloading

    Hello,
    My podcast seems to be valid according to feedvalidator.org, but it's not automatically downloading the most recent episode when I subscribe to it. I've read about other's having this same issue but it was always because they had errors in their RSS code.
    The feed is at: http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/itunes.xml
    I'm having this problem on a few of my podcasts, but not all ... it's weird.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ty

    There are a couple of errors but they are quick fixes:
    <itunes:image href="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.jpg"></itunes:image>
    You don't need the </itunes:image> at the end... should be just:
    <itunes:image href="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.jpg"/>
    I think your problem lies with your latest podcast episode, which is the first that the iTunes client will download, it has a mismatched filetype:
    <enclosure url="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.m4a" type="video/x-m4a" length="55084438"></enclosure>
    Since the file is an MPEG4 audio file (.m4a) it should be type="audio/x-m4a"
    <enclosure url="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.m4a" type="audio/x-m4a" length="55084438"></enclosure>
    Fix those and see if that doesn't help...

  • Podcast not automatically downloading for subscribers.

    Subscribers to our podcast have reported that the new episodes do not automatically download for them. I have no idea why. In the iTunes store the podcast seems to be working properly. All episodes are there and the most recent one can be played or downloaded directly from the store. But something seems to be broken with subscriptions and automatic downloads.
    I tried to subscribe myself before submitting this question and didn't seem to be able to get any file to download.
    The name of the podcast is Church of the Cross Boston.
    I searched this forum for an answer and wasn't able to find one that matched this particular problem. Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

    Please always include the URLs of your Store page and feed to save me having to search for them. For references, your Store page is at
    https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/church-of-the-cross/id317330237

  • Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments.

    Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments (i.e. a 2 MB file) without the user clicking on the SAVE button or the attachment icon (white square with down arrow).
    Before download:
    The problem is that if the user accidentally deletes the message before downloading the attachment, and then views that message in the trash OR moves the message from the trash back to inbox, the attachment is lost and message appears garbled up.
    This is not a problem if user clicks SAVE or clicks attachment icon itself before deleting it - message and attachment will be readable in trash and when restored to inbox.
    Question:
    Is there a way to force Mail to download all attachment regardless of size without requiring user interaction?
    Thank you
    ig

    Actually smaller attachments are downloaded automatically, or perhaps it depends on attachment type? 
    Try the same with say 2MB .PPT file .. email the file to yourself. It will come through as "click to download" icon (see image above). Trash the message (before SAVE or clicking on attachment), now try opening it in the trash or pulling it back to inbox and then open it. Attachment is gone and you get garbage - clearly extra data is there but is non-readable.
    Not a big issue for a single user - potentially very big issue for an admin supporting large number of end-users, some of which are recent Outlook transplants.
    Btw, I'm using IMAP server and I have enabled "Store deleted messages on the server"

  • ITunes 11.x does not automatically download purchased music

    Hello to everyone,
    after installing iTunes 11.x, the new purchased music (that I buy with my iPhone, iPod and iPad) is not automatically downloaded on my iMac even if I have the iTunes set for doing it (in the preferences). With the previous version of iTunes I did not have this problem.
    Now, when I verify if there are new items to download, it says to me that there are no new elements to download, so I need to sync the iPhone/iPod or iPad manually to have them transfered to my iMac.
    Does someone else have my same problem or could you help me in solving it?
    Thanks.
    Andrea

    Hi, Fred.
    Are you saying the songs are in you Library but not in the Purchased playlist?
    In that case you can simply drag them from the main iTunes display into the playlist.

  • Default mail client does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb

    Hi @ll,
    default mail client on Ipad does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb
    Do you know if is possible to change this setting?

    We have this problem as well. Unfortunately after years of only supporting IE and finally rewriting our site to be standards compliant we are going to have to force users back to IE because of this issue. It's not feasible for us to walk users through changing the default viewer. The default should stay Adobe (if installed) until a more robust native version is available. I understand you want to promote free and open tools but if they don't work, it's just not good enough.
