Let's suppose I can only receive email on my iPhone 4.

How can I get the attachments from my iPhone to my computer without an internet connection?

If you have a local wifi connection Jul 15, 2014

You can set up a DropBox account and simply share the files etc. that you need to transfer.

Hi Edward,

You can always use bluetooth to send/receive files. You just have to synchronise both devices (Iphone-PC/Mac).

You can also plug your Iphone to your PC/Mac and use it as a USB device. This way you can search for the file and copy it straight from the Iphone.

Itunes can also work if it is well set.

I hope it works for you.

Best regards,

Marcos.

Email attachment received on iPhone, no internet connection on computer. Jul 15, 2014

Thanks to everyone who has replied so far.

The whole question is about my iPhone having an internet connection (e.g. through 3g or 4g) while my computer does not.

Marcos, can you walk me through step-by-step how to get the email attachment over through iTunes, which I have installed?

Hotspot? Jul 15, 2014

If the PC has wifi, you can use the Iphone as a hotspot, then email the attachment to yourself and check your e-mail on the PC.

Yes, under settings and wifi menu, turn on wifi hotspot then you can get wifi on your computer, extremely useful feature!
