How to define default apps to open email attachments

Whenever I open an email attachment the IOS email client open a quick visualizar. I would like to define an app to open the attachment. For example, the visualizer is not able to open Zip files. I have to touch and hold in order to select the app I should use to open the attachment. I would like to define the app that could be opened with typical files.

You can't define a particular app to use to open a file. Any app that will work with the file type that you want to open will appear in the Open In window.

How do I change the default app for opening a file;

If I right click on a file in finder, it tells me what the default app for opening the file is. it also gives me a short list of other apps.
I would like to change the defaults for several file types, and also delete one app from the short list and add a different one.
How do I do this?
thanks

You could try this:
- right-click (tap with 2 fingers on the apple trackpad) on a file you want to open in openoffice
- move the cursor over "open with". You should see the default app, then some suggestions, then app store, then at the end, "other...". Select "other..."
- find openoffice in your applications folder and select it (if it is dimmed, change "enable: " from "recommended applications" to "all applications", then you can select "openoffice")
- check "always open with"
- then, click "open". The file will open in openoffice and from now on, openoffice will be the default application to open the type of file you just opened. You should also see the icon of all files of the same type change to the openoffice file icon.
This is supposed to work, but that's not always the case, especially when the default app happens to be an Apple app. If you don't want to use that Apple app, delete it (or move it elsewhere if you want a backup). That can help.
Good luck!

Error message: "There is no default application specified to open this document." How do I find app. to open file??

I am trying to NETGEAR software for a Wireless USB adapter. When I put cd in and click autorun.exe file it says "There is no default application specified to open this document." How do I find app. to open file??

Or if you get stuck, post back with details of the Netgear device you are attempting to use.
I'm sure that we can get it to work, but be prepared that it just MAY have to go back, if for example it requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later - I found a lot of networking USB dongles seem to require OS X 10.4.11 or later. But Netgear are one of the better device manufacturers, so I'm hopeful it'll work just fine.

Default app for opening attachments

I have Appleworks 6.2.9 and the 30 day trial for office 2004. How the heck do I remove "word" as the default app for opening attachments and make Appleworks the default app!? I've read a whole lot of previous questions but can't get an answer. dlog

If you are referring to Word files received as an email attachment, save the attachment from the message to the Desktop or your preferred location of choice.
Select the Word file via the Finder and use Get Info for the file.
At Open With, select AppleWorks via the pop-up window.
Below "Use this application to open all documents like this", select Change All.

Hi,
How can I download or open email attachments on my iphone 6. attachments like excel, word or pdf files.
Bichitra

Hello Bichitra84,
You should be able download and view most attachments from within the Mail app on your iPhone. All you would need to do is tap on the attachment to download it and then tap it again to view it. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Make default app for opening files NOT default app

A long time ago I assigned TexEdit as the default app to open all basic text files.
Now I've started using Bean and whenever I edit a Bean file it's icon changes to a TexEdit file instead of retaining the Bean icon.
Even using Get Info to change it to open with Bean only lasts until the file is edited again.
How can I tell the system to leave the Bean files alone and not open them with TexEdit?
Thanks for any advice.
Ron

Eric... yes
Now I'd like to have it so whatever text app creates a file... that app will be the default to open its own files.

How can I open email attachments in Pages?

I am unable to open email attachments such as Word docs and PDFs in Pages. If I select them I get "open in mover lite." Until recently, when I selected them I could open in iBooks but that is no longer an option for me. I am not sure iBooks would help anyway!
How can I open attachments in Pages?
Thank you,
Prea

according to MS KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061
That file is made when someone is using Rich text format and attaches a file. Have them switch to either HTML or plain text and reatatch the file and you should see the proper attachments.

After update I am no longer able to open email attachments by just clicking on the attachment. I now have to click control and then click open linked file. How can I open attachments by simply clicking on them?

Unless you believe middle-click is yours and don't like it being usurped, mine is set globally to "Enter".

Making iWork the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents

Is there a way to make Pages, Numbers and Keynote the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents, such that if I double-click a Word document it launches Pages and opens, etc.? I know I can do it by double-clicking the Office document and dragging it to the appropriate iWork app in the dock, but it would be nice to have it happen by default. That way I can put Office in my rearview mirror!

Fantastic - worked exactly as advertized. Thank you both!! Office is now a distant memory (except when I have to save in MS formats to send files to the unfortunate masses).
Best regards,

Suddenly all my apps is not opening .i didn't do any thing only my default apps are opening

suddenly all my apps is not opening .i didn't do any thing only my default apps are opening may i want to reinstall the apps??

Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

HT2523 My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

No, TextEdit cannot read those. You will need to convert them to .doc files first:
Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be able to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
Go to this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2'
This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.
Update: This link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976831 takes you to a newer version 1.1.3 (released Nov 10, 2009).

Can't see, quickview or open email attachments...

iPad 2-I can receive emails fine, but cannot see, quickview or open email attachments. I've been sent PDFs and can see a paper clip icon in email list view, but no PDF icon in the email.
Why?
Thanks.

How about something really crazy and unheard of?
I have two email accounts with Google Mail. Both are the only ones set up in the Mail app inside my iPad2. One would load everything: .jpeg, .docx, .pdf, and everything. The other would not.
I tried hard reset multiple times, deleting both email accounts and hard resetting. I cut all processes using SBSettings and killed all processes related to mail. So I have nothing running now, and I deleted all of the readers, Doc to Go, Quick Office, and other apps I had added.
Now I have nothing running and no apps installed.
Then I set up mail again from the bottom, as if the iPad came in the mail today. One gmail account still automatically opens and previews .jpg attachments, and show .doc, .pdf attachments with their respective icons. THE OTHER GMAIL ACCOUNT IN THE SAME iPAD MAIL APP DOES NOT OPEN THE SAME MESSAGES I HAVE FORWARDED TO BOTH. I would see an arrow pointed down in the icon inside that "faulty" mail account, and the name of the attachment below the icon. I have pressed my finger a gadzillion times on those icons, only to see the spinning wheel briefly and nothing. Holding them down would do nothing, and i can't open in other apps.
The wackiest thing is... when I hit forward (by tapping the curved arrow at the top), I get a drop-down choice list: "INCLUDE" and "DON'T INCLUDE" attachments. When I tap on INCLUDE, .jpg files immediately load and show in the reply message, only two of four .pdfs load and open, but no .docx attachments would.
How would we be supposed to troubleshoot or fix something like this?

Opening email attachments in Word

Hi
I want to buy the Curve 8520. I am new to blackberries, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Will i be able to open email attachments that are word docs? Or will i need to buy a software product to facilitate this?
I just bought another phone and was told in the shop it would open Word docs - which it doesn't!
With the blackberry, i don't want to sign up to a contract to then find i can't open Word Docs
Thanks in advance

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I cannot say 100% what happens at this moment and with every carrier/reseller, but normally BB's come pre-installed with the Standard Edition of Desktop-To-Go, which includes an app to render Word docs. Check with your seller and see if that app is included.
Good luck!
