Losing attachment icon in email

I'm trying to attach whatever to emails and while I'm browsing for whatever, that window disappears AND the attach icon at the bottom of the screen disappears as well.
I have to log off and log in again to ATT.net mail to get it back.

I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3 Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email. When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself. Can someone please help?

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

How can I get the attachment icon to work for sending emails

Printing Emails that have pdf attachment icons

WHen I send an email that has a pdf attachment, I generally make sure that the attachment is "View as Icon". Even so, when I need to print the email for archive purposes, the printout always includes an image of the first page of the pdf, not the icon. This can result in unnecessary page prints.
In Lion, this used to happen only with pdf attachments that had only 1 page. In Mountain Lion, it seems to happen also with multi-page pdf attachments.
Is there a way to force print only the attachment icon in the email, not the full page?

To make the icon the default view of attachements, do the following:
Use the Terminal to set the preference.
Terminal is in Applications>Utilities. Open Terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
That will make every attachment you send act like an attachment instead of a pretty unusable decoration.
If you decide this isn’t what you’re looking for, to restore inline attachment viewing type:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
Restart Mail and you’re back to normal.
Please tell me if that worked for you!

Why do the attachments I'm trying to send open in the body of my email rather than as an attachment icon?

I'm having trouble with attachments. When I select a document to attach, in either Word (doc) or pdf, sometimes the whole file opens in the body of the document, instead of just appearing as an attachment icon. I can't figure out why this only happens sometimes...seems to happen more with documents I've scanned in and saved as either Word or PDF files - what might I be doing wrong?

There is nothing wrong. I never understood why Apple Mail shows attachments randomly as icon or inline documents or a mix of them.
If you ctrl+click the PDF or Word document you should be able to choose from the menu, show as icon.
If you want to permanently show the attachments as icons, close Apple Mail, open Terminal and issue the following command
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes

How do I attach to an email, cannot find the icon anywhere on my account

How do I attach to my email account

OK.....Got it. Before you go to reply to a message, open the app and if it is a picture, hold your finger on the picture you want to copy until you see the copy button appear. Touch the copy button. Open the email, hit reply, and in the body of the email, hold your finger there until you see the paste option. Touch paste and the picture will be attached to the email.

Attachment icon does not show when printing sent email message

I recently sent an e-mail with 11 attachments. When I printed that e-mail message, it did not show the 11 attachment icons in the body of message as has previously. Any suggestions?

Why do pdf files I attach to an email show up full blown instead of as a little icon?

If i want to sent multiple files attached to an email, I cannot because they appear as full blown up not as a filed attached to the email. I need to attached numerous receipts to one email and it is not possible. Any thoughts?

Actually, these are jpeg's, I misspoke. On my computer I tried using the paper clip and also dragging them. But both way that appear in the message as full blown pictures not as little attachments. When I tried scanning them as pdf's they wouldn't open. I would get an error message.

Attachment icon visible in Mail 5.1 but attachment is not visible

Running a couple of iMac's with OSX Lion and Mail 5.1.
Quite often we have problems receiving mails with attachments.
Lately in the list of received emails you do see the attachment icon (paper clip) yet in the message itself there is no attachment visible. Although there should be one. We have checked that the email was indeed sent with attachment and others (not with the same set-up/Mac) do receive these attachments.
Have found several threads about attachment issues but with earlier OSX and Mail versions.
The amount of knowledge here is too big ;-)
Any help is more than welcome.

Exactly the same problem here. Yesterday installed Lion, since then some attachments show for example in google mail web interface but not in mail (exactly as you describe above). Also Outlook 2010 receipents (windows) don't see the attachments that I send anymore....
I just switched to Microsoft Entourage. Sad story, had been using mail for a long time it it worked pretty well, but there is no way I can live with these issues. If anybody comes up with a solution please let me know.

Hello
You would not be able to add attachments from Safari on your iPad. You would need to setup your Yahoo mail in Mail on your iPad and then you can add your Photos and videos within your Photos app.

Files don't attach correctly to emails

I recently upgraded my hard drive to a solid state drive (ssd). During the migration process I used SuperDuper! to clone the drive as per instructions on the new ssd. Computer started well, without any issue, but after a few scheduled backups with SuperDuper! I've lost the ability to attach files to emails. By files I mean, all forms of documents (txt, rtf, odt, mp3, jpg, pdf, etc). When I drag a file the icon apears, but, when you open it from the email window, the file is empty (0 Kb) independently of the extension. In some instances there is a messaging window that says the file is empty, in other instances, the program e.g. TextWrangler, opens and displays an empty document. The original file, however, is intact.
Does enyone know what has happened ? most importantly, how to fix it.
Many Thanks,

Actually, all files. Pictures, data files of all types, .pdf files, all of them.
I just set up a new I Mac, migrated all my files, apps and data to it from my MacBook Pro Retina, and use both computers for accounting work, so I need to copy files back and forth. I have a folder on both called Files and I keep all my data files in that folder and copy it back and forth. I can copy from the IMac to the MacBook Pro, no request for a password, etc, but when I try to copy anything from the MacBook Pro to the I Mac, it requests a password and it only copies a shell of a file with -0- bytes of content, in other words, name only. Sure would appreciate any suggestions or help.
Thanks

How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email?

How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email?

You can right click or command-click on the image in the email and select "view as icon".
You can change the default behavior of Mail.app so that it always shows the attachment as the icon:
open a Terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
at the prompt, type in this (it must be exact, or copy and paste it in if you have trouble typing things precisely):
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
Then hit return.
To revert to the previous default (where the attachment is visible in-line), you just enter the same command with "no" instead of "yes" at the end.
In either case, however, how the viewer of the email sees the attachment (either as an icon or in-line) depends on how their email client is set up, not on how you send it.
