TS3988 Cannot download attachments in emails

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.

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.

I have an iPad Retina, if I download email I then cannot download the same email onto my iMac. and vice-versa. I have all settings to leave copy on server so cannot understand why email will not download to both devices.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Cannot download attachments with vista on HP laptop

I cannot download any attachments / files (pdf, jpg, etc.) using my HP laptop running Vista Home Premium with web-based email programs Juno.com or mail.com ; the problem started several weeks ago. This HP laptop is an AMD Turion Dual-Core.

Hi Hans,
your link just says what I already wrote in my post :-( - the question is: is there anything that can be done about this? Is there anything that NI will do about this? What am I supposed to tell my customer with an HP notebook? "Sorry mate, HP notebooks are not supported by us"?
cheers

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)

i cant download attachments install or download from email

I have a message saying the server connection failed when trying to download attachments from my emails on iPad. How can I fix this problem?

Have you tried quitting the mail app completely?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Launch mail again and see if you can open the attachment.
Have you gone to your webmail account using Safari to see if you can open the attachment that way? .... just to rule out an issue with the attachment itself. The message you are getting in the mail app would seem to indicate that is not the problem but it's one more thing to try to rule out as the problem.

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.

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

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!

Cannot Read Attachments in Email

I have had my iPhone since December. I use my iphone for my work e-mail which is a Microsoft exchange server that I use Synchronica. At first I was able to read attachments, but no longer. Has anyone had any issues not being able to read attachments. Nor is there anything to indicate that there is an attachment in this email.

if your signature is correct : Windows Xp is not supported.

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.
