When I get mail, no pictures open

I'm using a 4S and had no problem with my iPhone 4.
When I open mail on my 4S and a picture is attached I am unable to open it. Even if it is a jpeg.
I just get the placeholder or whatever it is called.
If I go to my Mac the pictures open just fine.
Thanks

Thanks. I do know about that and that's what I do 90% of the time.
Also not clicking any of the red green or yellow dots at the top.
It's just every now and again I get this fly away thing happening as I described.
You obviously don't have that problem. I wonder if it is a setting option I put in long ago and
don't know how to go in and undo. Maybe too, I am hitting a key by accident that makes it do that
and don't realize it. Eventually it corrects itself, don't know why. For example I was writing an email
this morning, hit reply to the email, new empty message page opens, Mail page is still there underneath.
Then needed to refer to something in Safari and clicked on Safari. The Mail and Reply I was writing flew up above the top of the screen. Clicked on mail again and Safari flew up out the top of the screen and Mail dropped back down WITHOUT my reply email I was typing. Frustrating. I bet it's something an Apple person cold fix.
Thanks again for your help!  BTW, Don't know where I got that name Pumkinpeal from. Perhaps I signed up with it long ago and never used it since. David

    Thanks

    There is a plugin available for Mail called Attachment Tamer, which allows much greater control over the way Mail handles attachments, among other things. Icon view is one of them.

    I believe you can run it in demo mode before purchasing to see if it does what you want.

  • I can get mail, but cannot open it.

    Mail logo does not show up on top of page. Yet I can get mail, but cannot open it.

    Unfortunately, I have done so several times and it makes no difference.

  • When i get on yahoo, it opens me up under the primary account, but when i try to get on the secondary e-mail account it automatically shifts me back to the primary account. Dont have this problem in internet explorer.

    Yahoo hosts my e-mail. It is under a primary e-mail address under @yahoo.com. Under that primary account, I have another e-mail address that is based on my own domain name. When I get on firefox and bring up yahoo, it opens under my yahoo.com address but it has a "logged in under" section which allows me to go to my .(my domain) address. When I click on that, my .(my domain) mail comes up for an instant and then firefox shifts me back to the .yahoo account.
    This happens on my newer most recent windows computer but not on my older one and never, ever happens on internet explorer. I may have to abandon firefox for internet explorer if you cannot fix this.

    the settings program will not allow me to enter any of those cells.  the accounts section is all in grey scale (not black) and none will open including "add account"

    I have my mail set to retrieve data manually. When I retrieve mail, I get a popup box for each and every e-mail message asking if I want to view or cancel and must either view or cancel each one before I can use other apps on the ipad. How can I turn these popups off?

    Try reset iPad (not Restore)
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Userid/Password intermittmently lost when automatically getting mail

    The automatic "Get mail" intermittently loses the "remember me" and prompts for the password. What would cause it to lose the remembered password?

    I have had this problem occasionally in the past and there are a number of related posts (with suggested solutions) on this forum. What worked for me was to open Keychain Access, select the login keychain, then open the Edit -> Change Settings for Keychain "login" window and either uncheck the "lock after xx minutes" setting or set it to xx minutes where xx is longer than the period you selected for "check for new messages" in Mail preferences. I also use a different password for my keychain (different from my login password so I know this complicates things somewhat).

  • I can't get Mail.app to open.

    After I installed 10.6.8 the old mail icon from OSX 10.6.3 was still on the desktop so I trashed it. When I moved the new mail.app from the harddrive to the desktop, it wouldn't open. But the harddrive still had the mail icon in the application folder. So it looked like I might be trying to open two copies of the mail app at the same time? Anyway,after trying to move and trash extra copies of the mail.app, and twice reinstalling MacOSXUpdCombo 10.6.8 I now have just one icon of Mail.app on my desktop that still refuses to open. HELP! Please!
    I'm using an iMac from 2008 or so using an Intel core2duo processor running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, 20" display. Model 8,1

    This  didn't work, alas. I moved the desktop icon to the trash as suggested. When I tried to start Mail from the dock it gave me an error message saying it couldn't start up because the app was in the trash

  • When forwarding email with Firefox (default browser)the pictures in the email (not attachments) will not open , only shows boxes with a red x on top at the receiver, but when sending with IE, the pictures open, this happens only recently since a week ago.

    I forward a message with pictures in it with Firefox, the receiver can not see any pictures, only boxes with a red x, but can read the message.
    But when I forward the same message with pictures with IE,
    the receiver can see the pictures and read the message too.

    When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.

  • Mail not 'gotten' when click 'get mail' but does when restart

    At times no mail arrives for a day or so. I click "get Mai' - it 'pings' but nothing. BUT if I close down and re-start the whole iMac (not just Mac Mail) new e-mails ARE there and are downloaded.
    Why does this happen and can I put it right please?
    All ideas gratefully received!
    M

    It's happening to me too. I am having to force quit mail and relaunch the app before I can receive mail.
    This has been happening ever since I upgraded the safari software.
    Apple need to address this problem asap.

  • After downloading the latest osx update I find that my speech alerts only work on things that need attention but won't work when I get mail. I am using Gmail and it was ok before I updated, has anyone else had this problem ?

    After downloading the last OS X update ,I can no longer get the speech to work in my gmail account to tell me I have mail
    It will alert me to anything that needs attention except mail
    any ideas would be appreciated

    The last OS update for SL was OS 10.6.8.  If that's the case you posted in the wrong forums.  You should be posting in the SL forums. 
    If you are using Mail for your Gmail account, did you check the sound settings in Mail Preferences?  Please detail what you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the "been there done that" scenarios. 

  • When I E-mail a picture it's upside down

    I send pictures from my camera that I took but the person receiving the pics get them upside down. What am I doing wrong?

    Hey Diane Harto the Woodcarver,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are trying to AirPrint, you can do it directly from the iOS device.
    AirPrint Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
    Verify that the printer:
    Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    Has the latest firmware version installed.
    Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.Notes:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.
    Have a nice day,

  • IPhone 5 will not always play a tone when I get mail

    I get intermitting alerts on email messages.  Sometimes I get the alert tone and sometimes I don't.  Any ideas.

    Hey ebe301,
    Sorry to hear about your troubles with your PC. If you are not seeing your iPhone on your computer, then take a look at the link below to walk you through getting that working again. It will have you verify that drivers are installed and working as well as any third party software that may be causing conflicts.

  • Cant get time iphoto pictures from my portable harddrive time machine backup

    Hi
    I m trying to get my photos from a Time Machine backup on a portable hard drive. When i get to the pictures folder and press it I get the "iphoto (original)" icon. When I press it I get the iphoto screen but a "Caution" box comes up that says "the iphoto library is a Time MAchine Backup and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iphoto with the option key held down to choose another library". You have to press "quit" to get out which takes you back to the iphoto (original) icon. I have tried opening with the option key held down but I get the same pop us caution. Can anyone help. Thanks

    Time Machine does nto simply copy files - it copies changes to files and keeps track of how to reassemble the files on request for a specific time
    So you NEVER access TM backups directly - you always use the Time Machine program and have it restore the backup
    see  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  for details on TM operation and  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html  for FAQs
