I can't download my email attachments!!

Please help, I keep finding that a lot of my email attachments are not available to download.
All I see on the header of my email's are things like:
2 Files  
It only seems to be a problem with BT Yahoo. I use a Mac with OSX Lion. I have asked people to forward their attachments to another mail provider and the attachments come through fine.
Many thanks in advance.

You seem to be yet another one sufferingthe attachment download problem. The helpdesk told me 10MB was the maximum size of attachment that could be downloaded to MSOutlook etc.
However, I have had connection fail with e-mails having smaller attachments, so I am not convinced that is the answer. The work round is to log on via BTYahoo, and move any e-mails with attachments to another folder, this should allow other e-mail to download OK. 
How long before this problem is the subject of a BBC Watchdog programme?

  • After my OS update I can no longer open email attachments.  What could be the issue??

    After my latest OS update I can no longer open email attachments.  What might be in the issue??

    Quit Mail and restart.
    Select each of your mailboxes and select Rebuild under the Mailboxes menu.
    If those don't help, then reinstall Yosemite:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can I move PDF email attachments into ibooks?

    How can I move PDF email attachments into iBooks?

    When you tap on the PDF to open it, a curved arrow icon will appear in the upper right corner. Tap that icon and the option to "Open In" appears. Select that option - tap open in - and you can select iBooks from there.

  • Since i reinstalled OSX i am having trouble downloading my email attachments

    since i reinstalled OSX i am having trouble downloading my email attachments. I have updated the system.

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

  • Limiting download of email attachments

    We use Exchange at work and I have an Iphone. I'm going to be abroad on holiday and I would like to know if it's possible to turn off the automatic download of attachments on email so that I don't end up with a large bill!! (I get lots of large attachments as part of my job).
    I cannot find how to do this - can anyone help? Thanks.

    Hi Mike,
    We used Nokia phones before and there we could even limit the size of incomming emails (the body of the message) to x kb. For attachments, only the name of the attachment was shown. Clicking in the attachment would start the download.
    Now we are starting with iPones..... and yes we have the same problem you have !
    This morning at 8am my colleague flew to Denmark at 11am he called, he received a text message
    from our Dutch provider (KPN) that his data usage is at 50 Euro and that unless he sends a text message
    back his data will be blocked.
    So in say 2 hours he used 50 Euros of data !!
    With my Nokia E72 I travelled to Austria this winter and in 9 days !
    with the setting only 2kb of text from each email to be downloaded and no attachments
    I did NOT reach the 50 Euro "limit"

  • Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

    Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
    I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
    Any help with this?

    I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7.  Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
    In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
    We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message.  I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
    In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
    The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
    I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
    For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability.   Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.

  • Can no longer upload email attachments

       I have no idea what I did to cause this, but I can no longer upload or download email attachments to/from
    Yahoo Email from Mozilla Firefox or Safari.
       Is there a setting or preference that I could have accidentally pressed to cause this or is there
    a way I can re-enable the attachments? If so how?
    Thanks in advance

  • I can't download JPG document attachments on my android phone

  • Adobe 2.0 Can't Open PDF Email Attachments

    Hi. I am using WM5 on an HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125). I installed Adobe 2.0 for viewing PDF's and it works great. The only problem I have is that I get an error every time I try to view a pdf that is an email attachment.
    When I open an email with a pdf attachment, I tap the attachment and Adobe 2.0 starts up. I then get the following errors:
    "The file is damaged, but is being repaired"
    "There was an errror opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    If I try to save the pdf attachment and then view it I get the same two errors listed above.
    If I copy the pfd attachment from my PC to the device I can open it, but I suspect that is because some type of file conversion has taken place.
    Should I be able to view pdf attachments on my device using adobe 2.0 or will the pdf attachments always need some type of coverting before I can view them on my device?
    Adobe 2.0 works great, but so far I am unable to view pfd email attachments.
    Thanks for the help.
    Rob

    >>> The .pdf must be transferred from a PC into the mobile device folder and conversion must take place in order to view the file on the mobile device. <<
    There are likely a number of ways which will render pdf's non viewable on ppcs... some thoughts on this specific issue;
    The activesync "plugin" is a "tagger" subject to failure... if the file can't be directly opened from the file menu of ppc reader, it is likely another problem.
    ppc reader is acrobat 5... most pdf's are created with "backward compatibility" but it's also possible that the original generator specified acrobat 6 or 7
    The "file associations" are often wrong with respect to pdf files... attachments apparently have another level of file association, so, before making any conclusion, save the file to the "My Documents" folder, start reader and open the file using the ppc reader's file menu.
    >>> it would be nice if Adobe and Microsoft could put their heads together to straighten this out. <<
    Remember something said long ago about "when pigs fly" ;-) ...we are on our own as there is zero evidence that anyone from adobe even reads these posts, and then you have to couple that with the fact that reader users are not adobe's customers... they have almost zero incentive to address ppc reader problems... wanna do something about it... get a major full acrobat user to complain to adobe that their pdfs are not really ppc readable.

  • Why can't I open email attachments in Firefox?

    I can open my e-mail attachments if I'm in Internet Explorer but I cannot open email attachments if I'm using Firefox. Why?

    I've been on here for hours trying to figure out where the directions are for this - there's never an answer but finally found it. Go to Tools, Options, Applications and then Help. That's where the instructions are for Firefox File Handling - it helped me alot, although I still like the way IE opens attachments better. I am getting so I really like Firefox though, especially how incredibly fast it is. :)

  • TS1506 iphone iOS 7.0.4 won't open/download/save email attachments

    I just bought the a new iphone 5s running iOS 7.0.4. I cannot open, download or save any email attachments. This is critical in running a business when I need to view an image or document when I'm out of the office! It works perfectly fine on my old phone running iOS 6. There seems to be a lot of people with the same problem and no fix yet. Disappointing to say the least. Apple, when will you be fixing this?

    Hey Shaymom,
    I found these these steps for when you receive an error or alert message when attempting to update or restore your iPhone:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify that your computer operating system is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after restarting.
    On a Mac: In the Apple () menu, choose Software Update. Install all available updates.
    On a Windows PC: Go to the Microsoft Windows Update page.
    Check your security software: Note: Most restore issues are caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software, firewalls, and network router settings or firmware.
    Isolate the issue to third-party software.
    Update security software.
    Properly configure your security software.
    Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software.
    Temporarily remove any unnecessary USB devices, leaving only your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the USB cable that came with your device, and a keyboard and mouse, if necessary.
    Restart your computer and try again.
