Uninstalling Silverlight and reinstalling from:

seemed to fix the issue, even though I still ended up with the same version of Silverlight (4.0.50917.0).

  • Can't open Attachments in Hotmail on my iPhone

    Hi guys,
    Can't someone please explain to me why I can't open up jpg or wmv attachments when I check my Hotmail account in my iPhone? Is there a setting or something that I have disconnected or something?
    Thanks for all your help.
    PS - I have NO idea what OS I've got on the iPhone by the way, I just chose that. If there's any way of checking please let me know.

    Unless there's a setting in Hotmail to sent the attachments to your iPhone, there's no way to view them. I don't use Hotmail (for a variety of reasons) but I'm able to view attachments on a different webmail server which downloads the files to your device.

  • Can't open attachments in hotmail

    Hi, I have a problem, when I open my messages in hotmail, there's no option to open my attachments, the message says it has one, and I can see it, but in gray, there's no option to click on it, do I need a special aap to do this.
    Thanks.

    What are you using to get to your HotMail? the Mail app? their webmail?
    Using their Webmail I can't download or see any attachment. However, the attachments do show and download in the GoodReader app.

  • I can't make attachments or edit them when using hotmail. it works ok when using explorer on my laptop.

    I can't insert attachments or edit them from previous mails when I am in hotmail. The insert bar remains passive. My hotmail works fine using explorer.

    The Yahoo! Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to invisibly extend downward over the top of the web page display area. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • I can't add attachments to my hotmail using safari

    I can't add attachments to my Hotmail... using Safari.....

    This probably is known with older versions of Silverlight, but from what I remember Silverlight only runs on Intel Macs.  PPC indicates PowerPC.  Are you sure you have a PowerPC Mac?  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac.

  • I cannot open any attachments in hotmail when using firefox 4 beta

    I cannot open any attachments in hotmail when using firefox, but had no problems with the attachments when using safari. I much prefer using firefox and don't want to have to change.
    Can anyone help please?

    Same here, firefox cannot open any attachment, the page simply refresh itself or perhaps its not refresh but some kind of ajax. But NOTHING happens at all.
    Attachment downloads fine if I use IE though.

  • I can't open attachments since I accidently cleared my download and browsing history

    I can't open attachments in my email. Hotmail. Using Firefox browser. I just want to clear recent history for cache but cleared all but the two bottom ones, offline website, and site preferences. I was trying to fix a problem that I could not access my contact list of my hotmail account. I am using IE now and can get to my contacts and open attachments in that. But want to fix my Firefox

    I understand that you cannot open attachments.

  • Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007?

    Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
    I have only tried one pdf file which downloaded wonderfully to the iPhone. I synced to the PC without the PC being connected to the email account. This also worked except that when I tried to open the attachment on the PC I got a message that the mail wasn't fully downloaded. When I went on=line on the PC, it downloaded the attachment. I would love to have this option because I can't access some email accounts from my corporate computer.

    No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.

  • After Mountain Lion update, i can't access Facebook and Hotmail websites

    When I was with the OSX Lion, everything was fine.
    After Mountain Lion update, i can't open Facebook and Hotmail websites.
    I already reinstalled the Mountain Lion, but the error still happens. The only way to open these websites is with the private navigation.
    Please, help me.

    From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari > Preferernces then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If you still have problems with Facebook, go to the Facebook page then click the downward facing arrow to the right of Home then click Account Settings.
    Select Security on the left then click Secure Browsing.
    Select the box next to: Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possiblle then click Save Changes.

  • I can't open attachments on my iPad 2.  I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update.  I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

    I can't open attachments on my iPad 2t and I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

    Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
    In order to close apps, 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.
    When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Can't Send Attachments Using Exchange Account

    For some reason I can't send attachments using my Exchange account on my iPhone. Pictures, Word docs, Excel Docs, doesn't matter. They just get stuck in my out box and I get the following message, "Cannot Send Mail - An error occurred while delivering this message." I can receive attachments just fine, but cannot send or forward them. If I use any of the other email accounts on my phone, it works fine. The Exchange account is the only issue. Is this some limitation with Exchange on an iPhone or something? Anyone ever have the same problem as was able to fix it? Thanks!

    I've got 38 iPhones deployed running the 3.1.2 OS against an Exchange 2007 server. Several of my users complain about the same issue, and I've seen it myself. I have found a workaround of sorts - I've found that if I've sent a message with an attachment and I get a failure to send, if I manually browse down to the Sent Items folder, that forces a replication of the Sent Items. The next time I do a manual sync, the e-mail with the attachment will go.
    I presume this has something to do with Exchange trying to put a copy of the e-mail in to your Sent Items at the same time the iPhone is trying to send the message.
    Potentially, this might be solved by turning off the option to always store your sent e-mails in the Sent Items. I have not yet tested that as a workaround as from a corporate standpoint and an ease-of-use standpoint, we want that e-mail in the Sent Items for reference.
    If anyone has any success with this fix, please let me know.
