Can't open attachment but can see contents

I have received into Mail an email which was forwarded by BlackBerry from the original recipient. The attachments are three Word documents, sent to the original recipient and forwarded to me as part of the original email.
I cannot open the Word attachments from the downloaded email. When I try to do so, Word opens, but the underlying document does not open. I can see them in Quick Look, so the text has reached my Mail account. Also, they are on my MobileMe account online, and I have been able to download the attachments from MobileMe directly into Downloads and then open them in Word with no difficulty.
I have had no problems opening Word attachments in Mail emails, just this one.
Also, if I open Mail on my Powerbook (Tiger), I can open these attachments from Mail in the normal way. So it seems to be a Snow Leopard problem.
Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks

Same problem here but with picture attachments!!!

  • Can see contents of remote disk, but can't see it's contents

    Hi community.
    My configuration: MBA 13" (late 2010) and a Win7 computer with a DVD drive. Done everything as described in this note: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777
    On MBA, I see the entry "Remote disk" on the sidebar, i see my Win7 PC in the list.
    But when I expand it, the contents are empty (a dvd is inside and I can see it both by file sharing and by RDP on Windows)
    What do I do wrong? Tx in advance

    I can see the Windows PC, but I cant see the drive.
    So I only can do a 'Get info' on the PC and it says 'PC server'

    Now that your post has been moved to the Numbers forum we'll see if those of us here can figure out the problem. First, we need quite a bit more information.
    1. What version of OS X are you using?
    2. What version of Numbers are you running?

  • How can I get UDF to work on OS 10.8.5 will open 'intro' but not play content

    How can I view a UDF on Mac OS 10.8.5? It opens the cyclical intro but will not play the content. Using the controller reults in 'not permitted' for every action. Thank you!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • "Guest Account" Can See Contents of Time Machine

    I'm new to setting up accounts as I'm the sole user unless someone is prying. Fearing this prying into personal info, I set up a Guest Account with limited access to applications on the MacBook. Upon signing into the Guest Account to check it out I found that the Guest couldn't access any of my personal stuff when activating Mail, Address Book, Word, etc. BUT, when I clicked on the Time Machine icon, voila!, everything was there to view. That's a surprise. I double checked Parental Controls on the Guest Account and it is unchecked.
    I'd appreciated any ideas and suggestions you may have.

    not everything. when you activate TM from any account (guest account or any other), you can only browse files that you have read access to anyway. in particular, if you try to look inside, say, Documents folder of the main account from the guest account you won't be able to do it either in finder or via Time machine. if you want to further restrict access of the guest account to certain folders change permissions on those folders.

  • Yahoo mail starts to open an email (I can see the content) but then a message comes up saying "Whoops! The page could not be found. Try giving it another chanc"

    When i am in Yahoo mail and am opening on an email to open, the email starts to open (I can see the content of the email for a second) and then I get a screen with a message that states 'Whoops! The page could not be found. Try giving it another chance below'. But the email had been there so I don't understand that is happening. This just stated happening about a week or two ago. There is a search bar in the center of the screen and at the bottom of the error page is the following.

  • I can't access the contents of my email. I can see the message, but the email itself won't open.

    I can't access the contents of my email on my i-pad 2. I can see the message, but the email itself won't open.

    There are 3 things you can try:
    1.  Fully close you mail app.  From your home screen, press your home button twice to bring up your most recently used apps (task bar).  With your finger, hold it on any of those apps until they all start to jiggle.  You'll see a minus sign sign on the upper left side of each app.  Touch the on the Mail icon.  Touch your home button once more to stop the apps from jiggling and then again to return to your home screen. 
    2.  If that doesn't work, reboot your iPad.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (hold past the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
    3.  If that doesn't work, the last resort might be to delete this mailbox from Settings > Mail COntacts Calendars, then re-install the mailbox.
    I hope one of these suggestions helps.......

    Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

    We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public music folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music. We need different itunes accounts. We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.

    Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library.  iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

    I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
    that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto:  "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

    iPhoto 08?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    I came up with an alternative solution.
    Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
    When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).
