Viewing pictures directly in email

I use gmail, and on my iphone 3g I can't view the pictures that I am being sent from other iphones directly in the email, I have to download the attachment first and sometimes they take a while. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi sara,
When an attachment shows up in email on the iphone, it shows an icon with usually dotted or dashed line around it. The email does not actually download the attachment, it just lets you know that there is one. Now when you tap on the attachment icon, it take you to another screen that starts the download process.
some of the reasoning behind this is that the sometimes you might not be attached to the fastest of networks, and it could take some time to download that attachment. So, instead of downloading the attachment in the email and taking a lot of time, just download the text so you can see the content of the email then you can choose to view the attachment. It speeds up the process of seeing what the content of the email is about.
Hope this helps a little.

Unable to view pictures embeds in emails

unable to view pictures embedded in emails. Any help gratefully received.

Images in received emails are only visible if included in an HTML message.
If they appear as an attachment icon just double-click them and they should open in Preview.

Does anyone know how to get my email to download pictures? I was able to view pictures in my email before I upgraded to iOS 7. I have allow remote pictures turned on in my settings.

I was able to view pictures in my email before I upgraded to iOS 7. I have allow remote pictures turned on in my settings. I loved Apple until this last upgrade. It used to be an intuitively designed product. I hate it now. If they don't make it easier for older users to use again, this will be the last Apple product I every purchase.

Welcome to AD!
I have a regular post for the top 3 or 4 fixes for that 9808 error. Obviously you are going to skip #1, since you've already tried it. Let me know how you get on with the next 2.
The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
2) The culprit was Norton. The users are set up as Admin and Standard. I have Parental Controls turned on in both Vista as well as Norton. Admin users had no problems connecting to iTunes. Standard users would get the error. I had to go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.) in order for the standard users to be able to connect.
3) close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. Feel free to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store and enjoy!
And #4, see if you can get into the iTS from a different windows admin account on the same PC.

Do you also have this issue if you temporarily switch to Private Browsing mode?

this line of text comes from ebay. I'll explain : today, more and more spam comes to people. One way is to buy thousands of email addresses (cost is about 100 thousand addresses for 5$). But these addresses are not verified. (verified addresses cost much more). So, one way of doing the thing, is sending an email to all the unverified addresses, and put something in the email to detect if the address realy exist. It is usually done through an image. The image links to a website that will understand the information "this email address works, because someone opened the email and the spy-image says so".
So, modern mail clients have an option to not display images in emails, you have a button or a link to display the images when you are sure the mail is not a spam or a scam. For instance, in GMail the link is called "Display images below" . This prevents the user to just shout to the spammer "Hey you ! you have my email, it really works, so you can send me more spam".
That's what ebay is telling you : click on that link.
Now, concerning the Blackberry (at last !) :
you can't view images embedded in emails unless you have Handheld OS 4.5. If you have, maybe your BIS or BES allows you to view images in email.
Usually, legit newsletters, next to that line of text "enable all message content", have a link "can't read this email correctly ? Click here to view it on our website".

I can't view pictures attached to am email on my phone. Please help

Hi there, I can't seem to open up attached pictures in my emails . Usually Jpeg files. Is there something I need to download. It gives me a 'no viewer available' error message when I try to open them up.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to resolve this. Thanks

To test if the Photo viewer is working on your z10 and not the .jpg file itself to see if it is currupted. Simple test, go into your picture program, select a .jpg image, click and hold for a second until slider appears on the right. Slect share, slect Email, and send it to yourself. When the email comes back to your z10. click on the image and see if it opens it up.

Cannot view picture email and cannot send it to my vzwpix

My Aunt sent a picture to me [email protected]
I cannot open it nor, can I send it to my vzwpix. I get a message that says
cannot send the attached address via email.
I want to see the picture!

It may be that the picture is too large for your phone to handle. What resolution and what size is the picture? Is there a regular email your aunt can send it to?

"Closed" pictures in iphoto email

I often send pictures directly from iphoto by clicking on the email icon at the bottom of the library page. Its quick and easy but my pictures are sent as "open" rather than "closed" as most normal attachments should be received. I would like my mail recipient to receicve my pictures "unopened" Can this be done in iPhoto or do I have to send them the old fashioned way and "create" the enclosure. thanx.

djboothmaker:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As far as I know going from iPhoto to Mail leaves them open. Haven't found a way to do it otherwise.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

i have iphone 5s which when i connect to import the pictures directly to my windows computer. a folder by the name of my phone appears in "My Computer" . when i open it, it shows the storage information and one icon to click on. when opened it shows a couple of folders to click upon to view pictures. when i open the pictures folder and delete all the pictures , even then a lots of unclickable windows icons remain
i have attached the picture of that window's screenshot. plus when ever i try deleting them it says,
please help!.. i shall be really thankful.
iPhone 5s, iOS 8

I have the same issue and it has to do with iOS 8.2
Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer.

How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.

I get blue box with question mark for pictures in my email

so it was working fine before
and the problems just appeared few mins ago
after my wifi connection disconnects and I turned off the wifi and restarted it
and now all of sudden it won't show pictures in my email like every single email
i turned ipad off and on but still not working
anyone know how to deal with this problem

I have always left "load remote images" turned off.
If you get some junk mail (aka SPAM), when you view that email the images will load. The spammers can use this fact to determine that your email address is valid and will add it to their list of know good email addresses.
Is there an option to "Load Images" for each message? (Awaiting delivery of my 64GB 3G iPad).

Viewing pictures on TV

I purchased a camera connector for my ipod. I transfered pictures directly from my camera to my ipod. Is there any way to view the pictures on the TV or do I have to go through itunes which defeats the purpose.

Yes, you are correct.
You can only view photos put on the iPod via the camera connector once you have updated your iPod with iTunes.
As it says here...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301059
To view a slideshow of your imported photos on iPod or on a television connected to iPod, you must transfer them to your computer first, and then reimport them to your iPod using iTunes.
I would send Apple your feedback...

Why do I have to download an attachment (lets say a picture) in my email each time I read the email?

Why do I have to download an attachment (lets say a picture) in my email each time I read the email? When I have an internet connection, then it is not a problem with the exception of using the data plan and if the file is larger then it takes more time but when I don't have internet and I need to see the attachment...
Thank You

On the menubar, select Mail > Preferences > Accounts tab > select the mail account on the left > Advanced tab > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing: > set to All messages and their attachments.
You need to do this for each of your mail accounts.
