I cannot download attachments from mail

I tap on an attachment and it tells me it's unable to download the attachment

Hi Thank you for getting back to me . When I click on Save ( save to my compuer) i get a quick scanning attachment and nothing happens after that. Browsing through different answers to in the support groups I found that someone else facing the same problem decided to forward to the mail to a different email account and try downloading. Yahoo to Gmail as in my case. I tried that and it worked. However I would prefer to solve this issue from yahoo mail.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/3009211#3009211
Apparently there was an answer to the problem in the past but it seems to have now been deleted/archived?
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
so far I have tried a different browser, deleted cache. history, checked if files are being downloaded elsewhere, folders, desktop etc ( they are maent to go to downloads) Created a new used id for my computer logged in from it and tried.
but forwarding the same mail to my Gmail account and downloading from there has worked.
Thank you.

Cannot download attachments from mail application

when opening attachments from emails, i have recently had to go [via safari] into my .mac account to download directly.
if i try to do this via mail, it stops responding and i eventually have to force quit.
any ideas?
thanks

JT,
Please test with Don't Keep Any Copies for Offline Viewing. I am trying to relate what is being report in this Topic, to that discussed in an earlier Topic, at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=253262&tstart=0
In the latter case, a symbol of a pie, or timer is seen beside the Inbox of the .mac account, indicating activity is still going on. Keeping the copies is only related to your Mac, and not the server, and unless you are going to view while Offline, are not necessary.
I am not suggesting this should have to be the case, but rather gathering more info about a general problem (but one I don't notice on my primary computer), and to provide a temporary workaround.

You can view attachments in e-mail, you cannot download them.

Cannot download PDF from Mail

Hi,
When I receive a PDF in an email, it is embedded and I cannot download it and send it to GoodReader or wherever. When I click over it, it simply gives me the options "Save Image" and "Copy".
How can view PDF attachments as PDF attachments so they can then be saved to a PDF Reader App.
Thanks.
Rob.

It is strange. I cannot get to open a PDF file on my iPad.
Is it by default?
I can work it around using GoodReader to acces my email accounts but we talk about a major issue here.

Cannot download attachments from Yahoo! Mail in Firefox or Safari. It scans and that's it...

Also, I no longer see the download icon in upper right corner of mail screen. It's a circle with a downward facing arrow and it's just gone.

Since the update to 7.0.1 I am unable to open download updates to IE 8. Nor can I download a fresh version of AOL 9.0vr or download attachments from web beased e-mails. Is there a problem with Firefox, please?

I have several problems.
1. I cannot download attachments from web based e-mail accounts (AOL & Tesco.Net) without Firefox crashing and having to be restarted.
2. I can no longer start Internet Explorer 8
3. I can't download a new version of IE 8 or AOL 9.0VR. The .exe files download and run but the remainder of the download and installation process does not happen.

My windows friends cannot read attachments from my e-mails

My Windows friends cannot read attachments from my e-mails

If the attachments are common files that your recipients should be able to read (PDF, DOC, TXT) then what is the setting when you select the menu command Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments (checked or unchecked).
If it's unchecked you should check that setting and retry.

Why do I have to use safari to download attachments from my emails in mavericks?

I would like to download attachments from my email using a different internet browser. I like to use firefox but it seems if you recently upgraded to Mavericks. You may only download attachments with safari. Maybe firefox needs an update or apple really wants us to try the new safari (What I think) which is annoying to contantly learn new browsers because they have a new one released. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Firefox is working for me with Mavericks just as it was working with Mountain Lion. But I use POP mail and Thunderbird, not webmail. So I cannot test what you are trying to do, download attachments.

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

Cannot download apps from App Store using iPhone 6

Cannot download applications from App Store using my iPhone 6, and when I made a sign out, I cannot sign in, even I asked to reset my Apple ID account by e-mail, but I did not receive any feedback by mails yet, while I can access the App Store, and download apps using my old iPhone 4, and my iPad Air using the same account.
I Stuck now, and what I read cannot help me, as I cannot sign in even.

Dears, the case is sorted now, and I am sharing the YouTube link which helped me to sort this issue, to help others.

it was simple due to not setting the date and time automatically in : Settings-General-Date and Time, then set automatically.

Intermittent error saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

I am reciving intermittent errors saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

I am seeing this too.

Error when saving calendar exports-names longer than 31 characters not supported on the destination volume.
Very spooky. Not always reproducible, but it happened to me while using Office365-Outlook web-based email (saving a PDF).
RE: the suggestion, checking security box "allow apps downloaded from all sites" I would really rather not do that.
On my system it is set to allow "Mac App store and identified developers."

all of a sudden I cannot download attachments. How do I fix this?

I have the same or similar problem. Using the Mac OS mail client, two PDF attachments to a received message are shown garbled. Here is an extract of what I see :

So I log into iCloud and try to see how these attachments show up. They seem to be there since I see this:
but when I try and download the files, they appear in my download folder as 0 byte files, ending in .pdf.html.
This is very annoying. I saw and could read these files yesterday, but cannot today.
