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!

  • Why I can't download attachments from safari, why I can't download attachments from safari

    I can't download attachments of office, from my e-mail

    Is there anyway to keep the download in the page like in the past arrow stay in the right upper corner.
    That's a good question. So, you would like to know if you can have the "Show Downloads" button, as illustrated above, always remain visible. I will answer the quesiton accordingly as this is how I understood it, correct me if I am wrong please.
    The direct answer is no. There is a logic reason for this though.
    If you clear your downloads from the list the icon disappears because there is no longer a list to view. The downloads however are not gone they are only absent from this list or log as it were. The downloaded files remain in your preferred  or default downloads folder, which ever one is set.
    No point in viewing a blank list so no icon. However; the moment you download another file, it will re-appear.
    On a further note, the list is limited to a certain number so don't expect to be able to see a list spanning every download you've ever made.
    By the way, try to right click something from the list, some options to trigger the selection will appear. It would be nice if the available triggers would change depending on the type of file you are right clicking over.
    If you move a downloaded file to the trash and follow-up by emptying the trash, Safari's downloads continues to show the trashed file because it does not know that the file was trashed, unless, as an exmaple you right click the said item from the list and choose "Show in Finder". The following message will appear.
    In Safari's Help menu, type "Download". You will find some more good help topics for further inquiry.
    Cheers!

  • 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.

  • Can't download attachments from a specific sender in outlook 2003

    All of a sudden I can't download any attachments from a specific sender that I was able to before, no changes have been made and I can download/save attachments from other senders.

    Hi,
    Please using OWA to download/save attachments for testing.
    If it is working in OWA, it should be an issue on the Outlook Client side.
    Please run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall for testing.
    Please re-create a profile to refresh the caches for testing.
    Can other recipients download/save attachments from the specific sender?
    If all users cannot download/save the attachments from the specific sender, it seems that there maybe some Security issue on the attachments or the specific sender.
    Please check whether there is any related Transport Rules applied, as Administrator, if possible.
    Please also verify whether the attachments' size bigger than the attachment size limit.
    Please also select some related App logs for the further troubleshooting.
    Hope it is helpful
    Thanks

  • 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)

  • Can't download photo from email

    I have the original iPad and I tried to save a photo from email, but nothing happens when photo is tapped; the "download icon" mentioned in the manual does not appear and I cannot find it in the settings.  Using iOS 5.1.1.  I am sure this is simple, but not working for me.  Thanks for any answers.

    umm....the picture was sent as an attachment file. I can view and download the exact same picture from my ipod touch, but not on the new ipad. Also, I tried sending myself the same picture through gmail, one with the original size (about 2MB) and one with the smaller size (340KB), both are JPEG, and still, I can view and download the 2MB one, but not the 340KB one.

  • 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

  • HT201364 Can't download Mavericks. Need help please

    I seem to have all the required specs to upgrade to Mavericks, but it says I can't. I have a 17 inch MacBook Pro, 2Gs Memory, 70 G space. Can someone please assist?

    There was a More Info button. When I clicked it, I got the Overview where it would logically seem that I'd see the year there, but no luck. I see processor, memory, graphics, serial number (starts W87), and Software.
    There are also links for Displays, Storage, Memory, Support and Service. None of them have the necessary info. There's a link at the bottom for System Report. I clicked there and there's a Hardware Overview. We've got Model Name, Model Identifier, etc. But no year or Model Number.

  • 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.

    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.
