Why Can't I attach a file on iOS devices?

I've got a web form together, and I want respondents to be able to attach files from the iphone. I haven't tried it on other smartphone platforms.

The iOS operating system doesn't allow files to be uploaded within a web browser. Because of that you cannot attach files to our forms on iOS.

  • Why can't I attach any files to my email

    I downloaded firefox 5 and yesterday, and now I am unable to attach any files to my email.
    I create artwork and can not attach any illustrator or photoshop files. Why?

    I just solved my own problem a few minutes ago. There was a little switch on the bottom of the Traveldrive. Locked or unlocked (the little lock symbols were so small I couldn't read them without a magnifying glass.
    Thank you for responding, sorry to trouble you.

    I uninstalled Adobe reader, then did the rest of your suggestions but the problem remains. It is only with 3 emails that get resent daily with slight changes to the text. It is like most of the text has been removed from the email.
    Thanks for the suggestions and advice

  • Why can I not attach multiple files on iPad ???

    Why does iPad not allow multiple files to be attached. This is one of the very basic feature all computers must have...why is apple trying to complicate the like of people without this simple feature ???????
    Please add this feature in your iOS updates...this is jut crazy !!!!!!

    We are just other users here. Apple does not read these posts for your suggestions or complaints. Suggest it here.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    BTW - the iPad is not a computer and was not designed - at least to this point - to totally take the place of a computer. There are other email apps available as well that may suit your needs - MailShot or Group Email with attachments. Check those out - see if they allow for multiple file attachments.

  • Why can't I view SHTML files in iOS 7?

    I often receive emails with SHTML files as attachments. With iOS6 and earlier versions, these opened just fine in the Mail app. But after updating to iOS7, no dice. I'm given options to open the attachment in Dropbox or Google Drive but neither of these supports .shtml files. I've tried File App, but still no joy. The daft thing is, if I email myself an SHTML file but, before sending, remove the 's', i.e. rename it to "filename.html" then the file opens!

    I may be off base here, because the Java update may or may not be a red herring. This phenomenon (no pods) can also occurred in this scenario:
    You purposely close all of your pods EXCEPT the Design Editor View in order to remove clutter and simply look at a topic with as much real estate as possible.
    A topic is left open in the Design Editor and everything is working fine.
    The author closes the project
    The author reopens RoboHelp to a different project.
    Because nothing had been loaded previously for this new project, there is nothing to load in the Design View, therefore it is blank giving the illusion that the pods are gone forever.
    The fix in RoboHelp 7 (guessing because I don't have it on this machine) is to go File > Environment > Load Default Environment. and all the pods will return.
    If this doesn't work, then Peter's suggestion would seem the only recourse.

  • Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tell me that the file is being used even when  it is not. How can I fix this issue?

    Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tells me that the file is being used even when  iall other programs are closed. How can I fix this issue?

    Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page.  (All the existing templates were 1 page)
    But it worked, saving me some steps.  When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
    Then tried to save it but  could not because it was locked.  I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
    to find it, it was not there.  The Finder could not find it either.
    So I start over again.
    I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new 
    original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
    I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again.  I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
    The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up  "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving.  Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
    I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
    clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
    and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
    It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

  • Why can't I attach files with my hotmail account on my mac pro since I upgraded to lion?

    why can't I attach files with my hotmail account on my mac pro since I upgraded to lion?

    i can' t believe it but after 3 hours of reading everything i could find on this subject i discovered the answer on accident: IT'S THE CLOCK!!!!! I know that it sounds crazy but go to settings and go to date and time and set it to the automatic date and time, even if it's the wrong time. after i did that, everything worked perfectly! aldiko accepted my adobe id and imported my purchased book happily.  i hope it is that easy for everyone, best of luck.

  • I can no longer attach aperture files to mail messages. Why?

    Before the last aperture upgrade I was always able to select an image in my library and use the share command to attach that image to my mac mail message. Now the email opens but no photo is attached. it is a blank message. I know there is an icon in the right hand corner to access aperture files but this is not as convenient on large libraries.
    Is this a bug?

    Yes, I have always done as you have shown:
    "File→Share→Email", "right-click→Output→Email", and "{Option}+e" all create a new mail message with the selected Image(s) attached after being exported using the Image Export Preset specified in "Aperture→Preferences→Export".
    But for some reason after Idid the lastest aperture update a couple weeks ago (and I am still using snow leopard), I now cannot get files to show up in my messages.
    I can attach files while I am in macmail.And I can drag files from my desktop, but I can no longer get files by doing the file>share>email navigation through Aperture.
    Anyone else have this problem?

  • Why can't I attach docs to my email, even when I'm in my mac or yahoo account when using an iPad. I'm thinking of returning it because it is a basic tool that isn't supported.

    Why can't I attach files when writing an email, even when logged in to my mail account via safari, on my iPad. I'm thinking of retuning it as a big waste of time and money.

    Except for the first response, all of you are unhelpful. The email was configured. Apple contacted me about the issue and said that the iPad cannot attach multiple docs to a single email regardless of whether the docs are located on the iCloud, in Pages, or a dropbox. It's operating system is not designed to do so (a stupid error if they are promoting the use of iPads for business and productivity, or even fields like architecture, design, and marketing, or even as an office alternative for remote use in meetings...which they are in professional consultations with offices). It also cannot do this through an alternate email site like a university server, yahoo, gmail, etc via Safari. Apple also cannot recommend a third party App that can do so. What they recommended, and there seems to be a lot of buzz about this being a problem with the iPad on the Internet, is that people go to their website, go to product feedback and go to enhancement requests and request the capacity to attach different types of files other than photos, and the capacity to attach multiple documents to an email. Basic functions...any email user would want. One of the Apple techs even thought it was implausible that they hadn't integrated this function ALREADY, when I called to set up the appointment.

  • Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
    I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
    So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
    Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
    Please help!
    /S
