Why can't i attach multiple attachments on email using iPad

Using the iPad, in the apple mail app you can't attach documents only photos and videos, why is that? Especially trying to attach PDF files from iBooks  you can't from the mail app. Even if I go to iBooks and try to attach multiple pdf's on one email I can't.
please help with this.
Thank you.

There are Apps like GoodReader which allow attaching multiple documents to emails including multiple PDFs.

    Why can't I attach documents into my email? I am currently using OS X 10.5.8

    You can call Apple with the Serial# handy, & possibly get the original Install Discs cheap, or...
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

    It looks like they might still have it...

    It's been reported that if you have a MobileMe account, it may be free from Apple.

  • 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.

  • TS3276 why can't i open SOME attachments from email and most of the time i can open them?

    why can't i open some attachments from some emails and not on others?

    Read this link from Apple for more info:

  • Why can't I attach files to my emails in Mac Mail?

    I've messed with the .webarchive and .mailsignature to create myself an HTML email signature. After completing that, which worked, I can now no longer attach files to my emails in Mac Mail. I can click the attachment button, browse to the attachment and hit okay, but it shows nothing in the email and seems to freeze up. I have since replaced those .webarchive and .mailsignature files with the originals from Apple and restarted the computer but still am not able to attach files to my emails. Any help?
    Thank you.

  • Why can't I attach files in an email instead of having them embedded?

    Can't figure out how to attach files in an email. They always come up embedded. I need to send files to someone to edit them. Help please.
    I'm sure this is an easy fix.
    Using Leopard on a MacBook Pro and Iphoto 08
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can. Control-click on the embedded photo and select View as Icon from the menu.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • 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.

    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 I not select multiple items in Muse using Shift Click after installing update?

    I am trying to select multiple items on a Muse page by holding shift and clicking each items. This has been pretty much my standard method across Adobe products but after updating Muse it will no longer let me do this. Am I missing something or did this method change with the update?

    It seems to be happening mostly for Hotmail account.  I just rebooted and tested two accounts.  Only in Hotmail now.

  • In the new iphoto app, why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once?

    why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once? it seems i can only save one at a time and its very frustrating..
    the options seem to be there, they are just greyed out and i cant click on them.
    at first i thought its because the images were too big, so i tried it with smaller images but same thing.
    APPLE HELP!

    I can confirm @khaniff's original post the option in iPhoto for iOS is greyed out in conflict with the referenced article that follows:
    Save to the Camera Roll
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap .
    Tap Camera Roll.
    Confirm or change the photos you want to share by tapping an option.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.

  • Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

    Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

  • 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?

    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 open multiple tabs in safari on my I pad air

    Why can't I open multiple tabs in safari on my I pad air

    Don't know since we don't know that you are doing.
    Are you tapping the blue + sign in the upper right corner of the Safari toolbar? That is what you do to open a new tab.

I just read in a blog that this is a known issue to Apple/Mac and Micrsoft is there any anticipated dates to fix this problems? and if is not getting fix why are they still selling this product for a system that does not supports it? this is kind of upsetting smh....
