How do I attach photos to emails?

Yes, I'm using an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.0.1, as is the other poster in this thread. Also, no one else has reported this issue in this forum, so the problem is either in your phone, your Outlook, or user error.

No, I am not willing to give you my email address to test this.

Do the following troubleshooting steps for your phone.

1. Sent a photo via email to SOMEONE ELSE. (Surely, you know someone....) If it's attached to that email, the problem is in your Outlook. Contact MS for advice.

2. If sending to someone else doesn't work either, do the following troubleshooting steps as needed, as described in the iPhone User Guide, Appendix B:

Restart phone

Reset phone

Restore in iTunes using a backup

Reset settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)

Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

What iOS version are you using on your 3GS?

Admire your perseverance modular747, but remember what the OP stated: "Yes, the picture is there in the email - embedded - NOT as an attachment" and "It only sends them as email [meaning in the body of the email] that are not recognized by Outlook as attachments."

To me that means there's nothing wrong with the 'sending' and nothing wrong with the 'receiving,' since the picture can be seen in the receiving email. Unlesss the OP claims the picture is one of those trick graphics that convert a picture into text characters, it arrived there as a picture attachment. Email protocols do not have any other method of transmitting pictures (short of embedded web server links).

If there's something wrong it's with the OP's ability to save the picture outside of the email, but he did not specify what he does to accomplish that task (drog & drop?), so...

Good luck to both of you.

Have you tried Resetting or Restoring your 4S?

Have you contacted your carrier? Perhaps there is something in the way your 4S' data plan was provisioned.

The received message has the paperclip, but there is no attachment. The picture is right in the email body.

If the email has the paperclip there IS an attachment and it's DISPLAYED in the body. Did you read my last post entirely - you need to troubleshoot your iP4S as it's incorrectly attaching the photo so that the attachment won't detatch correctly.

Restore the phone AS NEW, without using a backup. If it still not working, go to Apple for warranty service.

BTW, where are you located?

I envision Apple to just act the same as the forum and blame Outlook...

No one participating here is from Apple. Since your posts were so vague and incompletely described what you did and what happened (took 10 posts and 1 day to get it straight) as well as no one else seeing this issue, it remained unclear as to what happened, ..

2 to 2.5 minutes for 1 % of battery on 3G.

If your're referring to 3G data (once again, no info), the official spec is "up to" (depending on signal) 6 hours which = 2.2 minutes/ 1% charge. RIGHT ON SPEC! If you meant voice, the spec is up to 9 hours, or 3.2 minutes/1% charge.

What happens in Vagueness, stays in Vagueness!!

Is this not an Apple website? No one here is from Apple? I had no idea... No wonder

If you had read the forum Terms of Use you agreed to when you joined, you would already know that this is strictly a user-to-user tech support site and Apple doesn't participate (or even read most posts)/

I'm truly disappointed that the battery is so blatantly weak and yet they state how amazingly long the battery life is

The battery life is just fine for >95% of users, and if you're getting what you said, right on spec. Since there are no comparable phones that do even nearly as well, what's your problem?

Thank you to all that have sincerely tried to assist with helping with this problem without prejudice. It is truly appreciated.

You're welcome. Good luck restoring and setting up your phone.

Congratulations on awarding yourself "Correct Answer."

Don't worry, you're not going crazy Torinate, I've had the same issue.

After a LOT of testing, we finally found the solution. In order for images to send as "actual attachments" on iPhone 5 and not embedded, you need to ensure your signature is basic format, no BOLD, no italics, no hyperlinks, etc.. The downside is your (basic format) signature will also be converted to an attachment in the form of a TXT document. This and not being able to embed my HTML signature with my company logo are my two least favorite things about iPhone.

ALSO, if you are taking a picture, make sure the volume buttons are facing down or it will send upside down.

I'm not sure the signature is the issue. I have an exchange server email account and a POP3 I use on my iphone 5 on current ios. The POP3 account behaves as you'd expect. The exchange server account behaves as described by the OP.

I had an italicized signature on the Exchange server account and thought, "Yahoo!", gbumoon solved this frustration. I changed the signature to get rid of the italics. Nothing changed. I deleted the signature entirely. Nothing changed.

I can really do without the self-aggrandizing replies that seem only to boost the number of posts enumerated under one's name.

How about ONLY those who know what they're talking about reply? Wouldn't that be novel? Finally, something different on the interweb...

Well here I am - at least doing what I asked - since I know exactly what the problem is, just not how to solve it...

For a solution, we must go back to GBUMOON who had it exactly RIGHT.

I had to DELETE the old signature entirely, close settings, (on my ipad only - shut down and restart), then write a new signature with NO italics, bold, underlining, font changes, or anything else. Now attachments are attached as they should be.

Kudos to GBUMOON!!!
