TS3899 Reducing email size

In order to upgrade my iPAD Air to 7.1, I need to free up space.  My email is very large, but I don't see any tools for sorting by size.  Any suggestions?

How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How to reduce email size on ipad

    Under Usage, email size is 52 GB, yet I have cleaned everything out.  How do I reduce the size to open up available space on my iPad?

    Have you tried closing the email app by double clicking the Home button and swiping the email app upwards ?
    If that does not clear it, then reboot your iPad by holding the Sleep and Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, then release both buttons and allow the iPad to restart.

  • Deleting Mail Attachments doesn't reduce email size

    Trying to keep my mailbox size down by deleting attachments. Attachments all show as deleted but the email sizes do not change. Quite odd that an email with no attachments should show as 25mb! Any ideas? Apple Mail 7.3, Mavericks 10.9.3

    Yes - the principal is: if you need to keep an attachment, store it in the relevant place e.g. pictures folder, documents, movies, icloud etc. Don't keep large attachments in the email system.
    Also applies to 'Sent' items. Except where forwarding an attachment from someone else, you will always have the original item on your hard drive so keeping it in email sent items is completely pointless.
    Once deleted, mail leaves a small text item detailing what the attachment was so you still have a record of what was sent / received.
    You can also delete all attachments in an entire mailbox - bit risky tho'.
    Where I had an issue was missing attachments in long threads - easily done. Thought I had selected all messages in a thread and deleted all attachments but missed some.
    One tip, you might find it easier to view the messages / attachments in 'Classic' view. Go to Mail>Preferences>Viewing and select 'Classic Layout'. Once in, right click the menu bar to customise if necessary and  add 'size' 'attachments' and whatever else to the strip above the message list. You can then easily sort by size.
    happy shrinking!

  • I am trying to send a photo in an email and the file is huge. I remember something about sending the file with less detail and therefore reducing the size.  How?

    I am trying to send a photo in an email and the file is huge.  I remember something about reducing the size of the file but of course can't remember how.

    Use a utility such as Graphic Converter to  change the image to a jpeg using options to reduce the size of the converted image.

  • How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

    I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

    Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
    You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
    If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
    Best luck.

  • I have tried to use File - Export to reduce the size of my pics to send via email and all I get is a blank pic.  How do I reduce the size of the photo and still have the photo?

    I have tried to use File > Export to a folder on my Desk top to reduce the size of my photos and all I get is a blank, grey screen.  How do I reduce the size of my pics so I can email them?

    Where are you getting this screen?  In iPhoto after selecting the File ➙ Export menu option? If that's the case try this:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/() Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
    You can resize photos outside of iPhoto with 3rd party applications like Resize!.
    Click to view full size
    With it you can change both the pixel size and file size of the photo to the size that suits your needs.  For other such apps go to MacUpDate.com and search for "image resize" to get a list of potential candidates.

  • I have to zip pdf files to email them to someone with a PC. The problem is they aren't smaller after zipping and I can't email them. I tried adjusting the Quartz filter to the Reduce file size. Now they're smaller, but the recipient can't read them. Help!

    I need to zip pdf files to email them to a PC user. The problem is file size is not reduced.
    I tried zipping them in Win 7 (which I use via Parallels 7) and sending them to the Finder to email.
    But lately nothing is reduced.  I tried choosing the Reduce File Size option in the Quartz Filter when I save the doc. The file size was reduced. However, the recipient could not read the file. Everything was blurry.
    Is there a solution?

    I am having some PDF sizing issues also, I am a BETA tester for TurboCAD Mac, and with the usage of (public) version 5, I have had some scaling issues. I have had (auto sent) 15 plus crash reports, (available as text) and had posted my scenario within the "lion- problems so far" article, so not to use up extra bandwith- or whatever- there are pictures there. I was not able to upload a PDF on site, and the staff @ Turbo CAd is working on it also. this is Lion specific new update, as I have posted many large format PDF's

    Thanks for the helps!

  • Once combine file, it is too large to email. Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

    Combined files and now it is too large to send. Is there a way to reduce the size of the converted file in Adobe?

    Hi yodonna,
    Adobe Reader doesn't allow you to reduce the size of a PDF file, as Acrobat does. But, you could upload that file to your Acrobat.com account, and create an anonymous link to it using Adobe Send. Then, you could send that link via email. You can access Adobe Send at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. The Create an Anonymous Link feature doesn't require that you have an Adobe Send subscription.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How do I reduce the size of a PDF file for emailing?

    I have scanned a document on my Canon Printer.  The size is very large about 14 Megabytes.  I do not know how to reduce the size so that I can send it via Mail.  I have searched HELP but have not as yet found an answer.  One suggestion was that in my Mail window there is an option to reduce the size of the attachment but I see no such option in my email. 

    Another option for sending large files is to use :
    http://www.filedropper.com/
    You upload the files to the website and it creates
    a URL that you can copy and paste into an email
    which you send to the recipient and they use the
    generated link to get the file.

  • Reducing photo size for email

    I'm stumped ... how do I reduce the size of photos for e-mail?

    If you are using a client supported by iPhoto you simply select the photo(s) and click email - one of the options is JPEG compression and another is photo size
    If you are using Apple Mail then you have a second selection available in the lower right hand corner of the mail create window
    If you are using a non supported client including a web browser then you must export the photos first reducing them as part of the export process

    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • My iPad2 does not reduce the size of photos when I email them

    My iPad2 does not reduce the size of photos when I email them - however my iPhone does, can I make my iPad reduce the size as well?

    Hi Frank: After you have selected the photo for the email and started to compose the email, check on the right  side of the window. There it will show the image file size, tap there and it will give you options for the photo size. Hope this helps.

  • Reducing the size of pictures to send in an email

    I wanted to export a batch of pictures all at once to send in an email.  I found a way that is both quick and easy all inside iPhoto.  First I choose all the pictures I want to send.  I drag them to the desktop and put them in a folder.  Fortunately in iPhoto this does not delete them from the main library like on a PC.  I now go to import.  I import the entire group of pictures back into iPhoto.  This puts them in a file called, "Last Imported"  I can now select that entire grop and export.  I export to a web, (second choice to the right on the export window)  Export to your desktop.  A folder will be created.  Inside that folder will be, Images, all your pictures reduced in size, and even individal web pages and even thumbnails.  At this point I drag all the pictures in my recent import file to the trash, so I dont have duplicates in my library.  May sound like a lot of work but it is honestly quick and easy and gives you pictures which are small and easy to attach.  The last step is to open up my mail and get ready to send.  I can select all the pictures to attach and since they are small they attach quickly and off they go.

    Even easier is to select the photos and export them (file menu ==> export) seting the desired size to a desktop folder and e-mail from there
    Or set apple Mail as your e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and then you get a size option when you create the e-mail
