TS4002 How come, when I access my iCloud mail from my iPad, I cannot "attach" a photo or other document?

I can only access attachments, with my iCloud email, if I am on my pc.   I would like to be able to access attachments from my iPad. 

The following answers the question you ask in the title of your post...
Because the mail app cannot go into other apps' data, like the photo app.  The way to send email with an attachment is to invoke the app that "owns" the file you want to send.  If that app has a "share" icon (a box with curvy arrow coming out of it) and if clicking that icon offers "mail" as an option, that is how to send an email with the file attached.
However, the body of your post discusses "access"ing attachments.  If you are reading an email and there's an attachment icon at the bottom, press and hold the icon with your finger.  A menu pops up with different choices.  If you can't veiw it because there's no option to do that, then the file type is one that is not compatible with any of the apps onl your iPad.

    There isn't an iCloud app, I'm not sure what it is that you have deleted, but it isn't iCloud.

    Thank you for your responses.. To Sjazbec, At least you guys in Germany and the Netherlands have some kind of  posters from Apple to let you know that the feature is not available.
    There is no such warning on the Irish Apple site.!
    My point was that, I would not have even considered trying to reorganize my itunes library had I known that the feature is not available in Ireland.
    And that falls into the domain of Apple Ireland advertising.. which I"m sorry to say is false and misleading.
    There are no "posters" telling the Irish customer that icloud / itunes music is not available!
    I"m not blaming Apple for not "having the feature" in Ireland.. I am upset at them for falsing advertising a feature that they cannot for whatever reason deliver to Irish customers..
    To Keats 2010 LOL... Trust me there were lots of clouds in Ireland today!.. It's a long time since we've seen the sun!.. As for getting your head around the basics.. I could talk you through everything that doesn't work in Ireland if it's any help lol

  • How do I 'upload' files to iCloud Drive from my iPad outside of Pages/Numbers/Keynote?

    Help please

    Looks like this has been solved by yesterdays IOS8 update - thanks!

  • Macbook Pro was stolen. I didnt set up icloud on it. I set up icloud onmy iphone afterwards to ensure future safety if it ever gets stolen. How come when I log onto icloud on another pc, the user pic is my picture from my macbook login screen?

    Does this mean the scum who stole it couldn't get in and change it? Is this a good sign....will this provide any way to track it?

    It's picked up the photo from your Address Book. Without Find My Mac enabled on the Mac before it was stolen there's no way to track it. You should change your Apple ID password to prevent access to iCloud though unless you'd password-protected the Mac you can't prevent him getting at the data in that; but most thieves will probably erase the disk anyway to make it look like a legitimate Mac.

  • Unable to access my iCloud mail from an portal and need in ASAP.  How can I access my messages?

    At around 9:00P Pacific last night, I received my last email message through iCloud to my [email protected] address.  I've tried on my iPad, PC, MacBook Pro and iPhone.  I've done a full password reset to be compliant with the newest password standards.  I've deleted my iCloud account from my MacBook Pro and iPhone.  I've reset network setting on iPhone.  Then I tried to log into iCloud.com (should have tried earlier) and I can get to all my applications (calendar, documents, etc.), EXCEPT Mail.  I can't find any available route to access my .me mail and need to get to it urgently for travel plans and work documents.
    Any suggestions?  Please assist if possible.
    So far, Apple hasn't been able to help either.

  • Can I Access my iCloud mails from 10.6

    Hi Haven't upgraded my mail mobileme account to icloud because I need access to the mails while working in 10.6. I do spent a fair amount of my sparetime editing in Final Cut Pro Studio on my Mac Pro. And I have been unable to get it to work proberly in 10.7.x. I thus do need access to 10.6.x. I tried installing Final Cut on a newly formatted and installed 10.7.x disc, but the program crashes on startup. It does not do that when working in 10.6.x
    If I upgrade to iCloude. Will I then be able to access my mails while working in 10.6.x ?
    Best regards

    You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
    If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
    You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You may be able to sync you calendars to iCloud by means of a hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarsk and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

  • How to delete somebody else's iCloud Account from my iPad Air?

    Hi,
    Recently I have bought an iPad Air on a eBay-like site. There the seller said that the item was new but when I chacked the serial number, the device was  already  registered since January. Regardless ths I reset it, created an Apple ID for me and started registering the things under my name. When it came to iCloud, I have  found that all my data was been transferred to somebody else's iCloud account. I tried to delete this account to put mine, but for this it  requires the password of this other user.
    I have contacted the seller, who informed that in fact he didn't know about it because he only won it and decided to resell it, but promissed to investigate and try to resolve it, but in fact I guess I cant cound so much on it and I'm pretty dissapointed and  lost with this  situation. Do you  guys know what I could to remove this account?
    Thanks in advance!

    You will not be able to find the previous user in any Apple database. They wouldn't share that information with anyone as they would be violating privacy issues - unless of course they were directed to do so by a court order.
    There is just something that bothers me about this whole situation and I feel for you, but I would also hesitate to email somebody that I didn't know about asking him to erase his iCloud account. How the iPad could go from one owner to another owner and now to you, without being erased, just gives me a bad feeling, but that's just how I feel about it.
    I guess though at this point, you know worlds more about him than he knows about you if you have his name and email address.

  • How come, when I upload a home video from iMovie to YouTube, the uploaded video is not iPad/iPhone supported?????

    I connected a couple of home video clips from my iPhone in iMovie and then uploaded it to YouTube so that I could share the link with family. When the upload is complete, the video says that it is no in iPhone format and cannot be viewed? Whats up with that crap? Is there something I can do about it?

    You tube converts the video to multiple formats when you upload.
    Sometimes it takes a while for the video to be viewable.
    And sometimes you tube converts to other formats before it makes ios versions.
    Just wait a few hours and try again.
    It will become viewable in time.
    If it does not then you would be better to contact google.
    You tube is theirs, and issues need to be told to them.

  • How do I delete someone's icloud account from my ipad?

    This person set up my new ipad with his apple ID instead of letting me create my own, I somehow got rid of it but now I've updated to IOS 8 and for some reason his icloud account is still on my ipad, I can't sign out and use my ID because I have to turn off ''find my ipad'' and it wont let me do that without a password, I have really bad memories of this person and this is driving me insane because it's a constant reminder ,every 15 minutes or so icloud pops up and asks me to sign in with this account. Any help would be much appreciated, and no, there is no way I can get this person's password.

    Hi Zaneholland23!
    I would recommend the steps in the following article to fully get rid of the previous user's personal data:

  • How do I get iCloud mail from another computer?

    I would like to access my iCloud mail from a friend's computer. How do I do that?

    I apologize for making an incorrect assumption.  After searching now for about 30 minutes I cannot find one conclusive article from Apple that states in plain terms that you cannot access your iCloud email from another computer. I cannot find anything in the ASC when i do a search either. That really seems absurd to me, and probably another reason why I refuse most of the iCloud services myself.
    Anyway, that is of not help to you and I apologize for that. This is the most conclusive evidence that I can find that states that you can't read iCloud email on another computer unless that computer is set up with iCloud.

    I hope for your sake, that I am missing something and it is possible to access mail from another computer, otherwise it is really pointless to rely on iCloud email. I/we have to be missing something somewhere ... I hope.

  • How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info

    How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...

    If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
