Attachments cannot be opened

Hi,
Since a few days I can no longer open attachments: instead of the file, Mail shows a blue 'lego' block with a question mark in it. Clicking has no effect.
A similar thing happens for the Stationery.
Finally, Safari suddenly has problems with Flash (it can't find the plugin, even though I installed it). Not sure if it is related, but Flash content shows similar blue blocks on Flash pages.
Any ideas? I linked it back to some problem in my account because with another account it seems to work.
Thanks

Outlook 2013 XLS Attachments cannot be opened in Excel 2013 due to Trusted Center restrictions with Outlook Secure Temp Folder

Dear all,
I'm having some serious issues with Office 2013's Trusted Center settings. In Outlook 2013 XLS Attachments cannot be directly opened in Excel 2013 with double-clicking due to Trusted Center restrictions for Excel 2013 regarding Outlook's Secure Temp Folder.
I tried to adjust the corresponding Office 2013 Administrative Template within my GPOs but to no prevail.
I did find out that Outlook 2013 places an attachment within the Outlook Secure Temp Folder located at "C:\Users\a.ollischer\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\PPIU10RW” before passing it to Excel 2013 in order to
open it. It fails due to not trusting this location though I added the corresponding path to my Trusted Locations.
What can I do in order to make this work without having to tediously save each and every attachment to "My Documents" prior to opening it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Maurice 7785,
Deal and customize attachment security behavior to access such kind of blocked file format. Usually, Outlook does not allow users to open such unsafe type of attachments. It means they are blocked them by default, so you need to unblock such items using REG
values.
Take more help from the similar thread:

My forwarded attachments cannot be opened

When I forward an e-mail from the iPhone I get sometimes the response that the attached files cannot be opened. Any Idea what went wrong?

Hi Miykael,
Do you have flash player installed on your system for that browser? Did you tried accessing that pdf file from a different browser?

Attachments cannot be opened while using browser to open my pdf documents

HI,guys
I've got a problem,can anyone help me out?
Some of my PDF documents got attachments,these attachments can be opened while I using Adobe Reader. After I uploaded those PDF documents to My FTP server and then using my browser to browse those PDF,I can not open these attachments.
Thanks

Attachments cannot be opened by recipients

I decided to use Mac Mail with my new intel iMac rather than Entourage. But now people on windows-based machines cannot open my Word attachments. This is why I went to Entourage on my old Mac. Argghhh.
I have checked "always send windows-friendly attachments" and "always add .doc suffix" to my Word docs.
Some people say their computer says a conversion program is needed while others just cannot open it at all.
Any ideas?

Please send such message again, but before sending make it Plain Text. Click on Format in the menubar and choose Make Plain Text. Report the result, which I think will be positive.
If you use Rich Text, and use two or more different fonts, or font color/size, then Mail converts the RTF to HTML, this HTML will often trigger SPAM filters that may remove the attached files, or some recipients may see the attached files as embedded in the HTML and fail to let you open them in a normal manner. A Signature can often be the source of the second font type, if it is composed in Rich Text.
Of course you can also set your Mail Preferences/Composing to always use Plain Text.
More info, if this does not resolve the issue.

Protected View Error "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened"

All
I have a problem with Protected View in Office 2010 on Windows 7.
Symptom: When downloading a file from the Internet, the file will not open if launched directly from the source location, or saved locally and then opened. This
is impacting both Word and Excel. I haven’t tested other applications. The user gets the error "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.".
Expected behaviour: Documents should open in Protected View because they are coming from an untrusted zone (Internet Zone).
Troubleshooting Results:
-      If I turn off Protected View the error goes away and the documents open without
issue (but not in Protected View obviously)
-      If I save the file locally, then copy it to a network drive, the problem goes away (because the zone information is changed?).
-      If I save the file directly to a network location, then open it, the problem does not impact me (also doesn’t open in Protected View)
-      If I repair Office the problem is NOT fixed
-      If I reinstall Office the problem is NOT fixed
The problem doesn't impact all machines, but any new machine I build suffers the problem. All Protected View options are set by group policy and all machines are getting the correct settings.
-       The setting “Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet” is enabled
-       The setting “Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe locations” is enabled
-      The setting “Enable Protected View for Outlook attachments” is enabled
-      Enable Data Execution Prevention mode is enabled
Has anyone seen this problem or can anyone offer suggestions of where to start looking for the root cause? There are lots of postings on this around the various Internet forums, but most
just suggest turning off Protected View, that is not a valid solution to my mind, Protected View is there for a very sound reason and it is not something I'm willing to turn off, especially when it is working on some machines as expected.
Thanks.
James.

Thanks for coming back, James, and I'm glad you've found the source of your
problem.
As an aside, I had no idea HP made software like that and will take a look
at it - or would if I could. Personally, although I love their hardware, I
wouldn't touch HP software, and the fact that their web page doesn't load
(in IE8) just reinforces my feeling.
Enjoy,
Tony

Word attachments do not open

In the last few weeks I have not been able to open Word attachments sent by email. Possibly coincidently I switched to Infinity about the same time. The email list shows those with attachments but on opening an email containing an attachment the 'doc' icon does not respond to double clicking. If I right click I only have the option of saving the whole page as an HTML document, so I still cannot open the attachment. It's not just the odd email, either - every email I receive with an attachment has the same problem. Also, sometimes if I reopen an email that I know has an attachment the 'doc' icon is missing completely. Does anyone know what can be wrong? I need to sort this out quickly as I am taking over as editor of a small free magazine in the new year and I will be receiving loads of attachments.

I presume this is with your BT webmail - Have you tried using an email client like Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail. If you use an email client it will download the emails onto your computer and you access them from there rather than through your Internet Browser.
Emails are easy to set up and are in my opinion far better than using webmail.

Outlook 2010 error - The file is corrupt and cannot be opened

Hi experts
Im getting the error - "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened", when opening office attachments in outlook 2010.
I’ve tried disabling the protected view options in office which hasn’t fixed the issue, the only suggestion I have seen which I’m sure would work is to delete
the user profile and recreate. This seems a bit over kill to me, does anyone know what files I need to remove to fix the issue.
Thanks

Cannot not open attachment in UWL

We have a problem where certain attachments will not open in the UWL. The user gets an error message saying
'Unable to perform the request. Try again and if the problem persists, inform your system administrator'.
The attachment in question is a Web Dynpro however it is not all Web Dynpros that don't work. A user can open the attachment at a different stage of the workflow but at the approval stage he cannot. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Rob

Hi experts,
I can see the attachment in the backend (ECC 6.0), but not in Portal's UWL. In my case, the attachment is a HR requisition in PDF.
As I'm not a WF expert, I can see a strange behavior of my tasks when the user clicks on the button to see the attachment:
1- The current task is marked as completed;
2- A new task is created, with the description "View form of requisiton number ####";
3- This new task is automatically opened in ECC (but not in Portal) and the form is displayed;
4- When the user clicks on Back, the view task is marked as completed and;
5- it seams that the first task is re-created.
Is this normal? Could anyone give details on how to fix that?
As I said, I'm not a workflow expert. I just notice that because, in Portal, when the user tryies to view an attachment, nothing happens, just a "OK" message is displayed above the task's description. But, if the UWL is refreshed, the new "view" task replaces the "requisition" one.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Gustavo

I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

Unable to open .eps file "unknown format and cannot be opened" ?

A client sent me an .eps file (logo). I tried opening it in Illustrator AND photoshop (just to see if it was saved in one vs the other program) - however to no avail.
Illustrator gives me a message "unknown format and cannot be opened"
Photoshop gives me a message "photoshop was unable to parse the postscript".
I'm using Adobe CS4, and I've never seen this message before—would love to know what this means and how to resolve?
File attached if anyone is able to open / fix it?
Thanks kindly,
Chemol

Thanks for the advice Scott - does compression improve the .eps? Is it
silly for me to ask them to compress it since the file is only 766 KB
(that's how big the attachment is in my email - though I am unable to open
it)?
My friend is able to open it on his end - however the 3rd person (client) is
the one who sent it, and I have already requested a different version - no
response from them yet. Unfortunately what the company "has" is what he
will likely give to me again (ie: same file / unable to open). So ... I am
curious about how I can resolve this issue on my end - if possible?
Do you know what the AI and Photoshop error messages mean? Could the issue
be a mac vs PC concern? Or is it a corrupt file? Could it be a software
version issue (old vs new) ... or Quark incompatibility?
.... just guessing at this point....Any insight as to what different
scenarios may apply in this situation would be greatly appreciated ..thank
you.

Attachments simply quit opening or open incorrectly on my ipad.

PDF attachments just quit opening correctly. I generally get the first page in the e-mail body, and no options to download the remaider of the file. Other times, it downloads, but will not open. This just started about a week ago. I use 7.1.1 and have not recently added any apps or changed the software. Any ideas?

Try closing all apps on the iPad and then reset the device. No data will be lost when you reset your iPad. It is like rebooting your computer.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
