Can no longer open .doc attachments from email

I can see the attachments at the bottom and I can click on them and it looks like it is processing (the little wheel spins), then nothing.
PDFs open fine.
Any ideas?

    Try this  - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:
    1. Quit Internet Explorer(any other browser)
    2. Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    3. Choose Edit > Preferences.
    4. Select Internet in the list on the left.
    5. Deselect(Uncheck) Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.

    I can no longer open any attachments that are sent to me. I click on and get cannot preview (but have had this for ages). I am clicking on download and nothing happens. It does not download. I clicked to install a new version after updating and clicking repair. But still the attachments won't open including invoices I have received today. It is all attachments not just pdfs.

    Then most likely it is not caused by Adobe Reader.
    Anyway, perhaps someone has some idea, if you give us some details: operating system, browser, email client, ...

  • Since a recent thunderbird upgrade, I can no longer open file attachments directly from my thunderbird email client.

    I can save the file to my computer, then navigate to the file I saved and open it that way. With a very large share drive, though, this takes up a lot of time. I really need to be able to click the file attachment from the thunderbird window and have it open. I'm on a mac running OS X version 10.9.5 and Thunderbird version 31.4.0. Here's a screenshot from my preferences -> attachments. Thanks in advance!

    Your settings show that you want it to ask you every time and not auto open.
    Files can have different extensions: eg: .doc, .csv, .pdf etc
    The extension determines the type of file and different programs are used to open different file types.
    eg: Adobe Reader may be used to open .pdf documents.
    MS Word or OpenOffice.Writer may be used to open .doc documents.
    For Thunderbird to open a document it needs to know what program to use to open that specific type of document.
    In your supplied image it does not specify what program to use with the exception of Content Type: MS PowerPoint Presentation to use program MS PowerPoint.
    All the others state must Always ask.
    Example:
    Content Type: Microsoft Word document
    Action: click on the downward arrow to see a drop down selection.
    If MS Word is in the list select it.
    If you cannot see MS Word in the list, click on 'Use Other'.
    If you can see the program you want to use in the list, select and click on OK.
    If you still cannot see the program, click on 'Browse' button and navigate to the Winword.exe file, select and click on Open.
    when the program has been selected click on OK to save changes to Options.

    While I don't use a Mac, I belive you connect the device to the computer via USB and then import the file using a file utility similar to what you do when you import digital pictures. I'm guessing that the Mac has something like this?

  • I can no longer open .doc files with pages 5

    hi,
    whenever I click on a .doc document pages tells me that:
    "Pages doesn’t support RTF files."
    this is very annoying and complicates everyday exchange with colleges,
    does anyone has an idea how to solve that? make pages open .doc?
    best,
    jakob

    The weird thing is that it was a .doc file (I suspect an older version is what has caused that error) and not .rtf... I tried to open the same document with the older version of pages, which worked fine.
    No, I can assure you it was an RTF file.  The fact that the filename ended ".doc" is irrelevant and certainly does not make a file a Microsoft Word document.  The filename is irrelevant, and the file content is what's critical.  For example, I could take a .mp3 music file, and then rename it "Presentation.doc".  You would not be able to open this in any word processing software on any operating system.
    Also remember that having files end with ".xxx", although a requirement in Microsoft Windows is completely optional in other operating systems like OS X and Linux.  Files do not have to have "extensions" at all.
    You have two options:
    1.  Rename the file, removing the ".doc" part.  Now when you open in Finder, it will automatically open with Text Edit, which is OS X's RTF editor.  If you absolutely must cling to Windows conventions, you could set the extension as ".rtf" - it makes no difference, as Finder uses the file content format to detemine the best program to use.
    2.  If you do have Microsoft Word available (either on Windows or Mac), open the .doc file in Word, choose "save as..", change the document type from RTF to the Word ".doc" format, ignore the warning informing you that you are changing the format, and then Save.  Now you can open the file in Pages.
    Hope this helps.

  • My quicktime player no longer plays quicktime attachments from emails.

    I cannot play quicktime attachments from incoming emails although I used to be able to.  Any suggestions?

    Are you sure the files are playable by quicktime. Corruption perhaps?

  • Can't open docs dowloaded from email

    For several years I have been getting work-related reports by email as .pdf files and have had no trouble opening them. Suddenly the reports are messed up; they download in two parts, one with Acrobat logo and filename w/o extension, and the other with an icon that looks like a document, and is labeled filename.pdf.PART. Both files show as 0 bytes file size.
    This started before I updated to latest version of Reader, and still continues after I upgraded. Somewhere around the same time I upgraded to newest version of Mozilla Firefox.
    Occasionally I get a report to download, but then Reader tells me it is not recognized .pdf file or is was not decoded properly.
    What do I do??
    Thanks!

    Sounds like they are not downloading completely which could mean one of many possible problems. Are you on a Mac? What version of Reader? What email client do you use?

  • I have just updated to Firefox v 6.0.2 and can no-longer open web links from Windows Live Mail 2011 (Bld 15.4.3538).

    Shutting down programmes and rebooting computer did not help. Launching web links from Live Mail has never been a problem before. Error message reads " There was a problem sending the command to the program"

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • I can no longer open an image from the organizer to the editor.

    In early Dec I had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall PSE11. Everything was working fine until a couple of weeks ago. Now I cannot select an image and click on the editor button and edit the image. The editor will open but the image is not there. I've also tried to right click on the image to Edit with Photoshp Elements and Ctrl-I and the edit menu to open.
    Its a real pain to have to have to go to the editor and load the image since my images are located on various hard drives on my system I have to navigate to the drive, folder, subfolder to located the image.
    Is there anyway to solve this problem? Do I perhaps need to reinsall Elements?
    I'm using Windows 7 (64 bit) with lastest updates

    winmail.dat files usually mean the email has been sent in rich text format - you could either the person who sent it to send it in a different format e.g. plain text or HTML, or there are a few apps in the store that support it (search for winmail.date in the store).

  • Why can I no longer open .doc files with Word2011

    I can no longer open .doc files with Word 2011.  .docx files are not a problem.  Everything stops responding as soon as I try to open a .doc file and I have to do a manual reboot (by holding the power button down).  This seems to coincide with my update to Mavericks OSX.  I have Word version 14.3.9.
    A colleague of mine is having the exact same problem. 
    I tried repairing my disk permissions but this didn't help.
    Please advise.

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I can no longer open and populate fields in eith Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Readers wher I used to be able to.

    In earlier version of Firefox I could open a PDF file from my Insurance provider with some of the fields automatically populated. Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I can no longer open PDF file from this site.
    I have upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X and also Adobe Reader X in an effort to resolve this issue with no luck.
    I have changed the settings under tools/options to use Adobe in Firefox as well as use Adobe as default with no difference.
    I seem to recall a note of some sort when upgrading Firefox to 4.0 about compatibility with Adobe but cannot recall the details.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    I use Windows 7 64 bit operating system.

    The URL below is to Adobe's Acrobat update page.
    There you'll find each of the incremental updates to Acrobat 10.
    They must be installed one at a time in sequence. 
      http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    Now, if after attempted updates fail then you'll need to speak with your IT Department.
    You need your install of Acrobat 10 updated to dot version 10.1.7.
    Be well...

  • After my OS update I can no longer open email attachments.  What could be the issue??

    After my latest OS update I can no longer open email attachments.  What might be in the issue??

    Quit Mail and restart.
    Select each of your mailboxes and select Rebuild under the Mailboxes menu.
    If those don't help, then reinstall Yosemite:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
