How do I get pictures that were attached to a message off my Nexus to my computer?

[Bluewhisper]

I received 2 pictures attached to a message in messaging. How do I get these 2 pictures from my Galaxy Nexus to my computer. I have tried AirDroid, looking every where on my phone and online to no avail.

Trying here now.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Open the pics first then save them. It'll be in the downloads folder. From there you can transfer to pc

On my gnex the only way to save a pic in messages is to long press the picture then choose save attachment. If you actually open the picture you can't save it...

ThePhantom I very much appreciate your response. Do you have any other suggestions?
I've looked everywhere for a save button, have not been able to find one.
The only description I can give here is that I received the pictures on what is called 'messaging' it is a green shaped box with a white smiley in it. I open it up and on the upper left is the green box smiley, below are the messages I can press to open. I do that on the one I know has the pictures, they open, then on the upper left is who sent the message, to the right of her name is the icon for a phone, then a paper clip then 3 dots atop each other. At the bottom is an area that says 'type message' and to the left of that an arrow. Nothing I click on has a save button. I click on the 3 dots upper left a drop down menu opens with, Add subject, insert smiley, delete thread, settings. If I click on the attachement icon, a menu opens with, Attach, Pictures, capture picture, Videos, Capture video, Record audio and slideshow. If anyone knows how I can get these family pictures from my Galaxy Nexus to my computer I'd be so grateful.

Thanks so much y2Kconcierge. I did that and can now save.

Again thanks to ThePhantom and to you too y2Kconcierge
