Can't open attachments from mail as it sticks at "verifying" popup

iMac early 2008 running  OS X 10.9.5. and  Mail version 7.3. Attachments to messages which previously opened now fail to open application with the attached pop up with rolling barbers pole. Have to shut computer down to get rid of it. 

I'm having the same problem.  I know there's an attachment.  I can see the paper clip in the listing of e-mails, but when I open the e-mail, there's nothing to launch to see the attachment!

  • Can't open attachments from Mail since downloading Lion...

    I have recently updated to Lion and since then I'm unable to open attachments in my email - either attachments received or documents I've attached to an email I'm composing. The app - Pages, Numbers, etc. - will open, but nothing happens after that.
    When trying to open email attachments the document will open in Preview, but if I select "Open in Pages/Numbers" it gets stalled, as described above.
    My only option seems to be to save the document and then open through the app or Finder, extra steps I'd rather not always have to take.
    Help?

  • When people text me pictures to my iphone5, I can not open them.  This was not a problem until I downloaded iOS 6.1.3.  I also can't open attachments from e-mails sent to me on my phone.

    Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
    If that does not improve try a restore

  • Can't open PDFs from mail or saved to desktop.

    I can't open any pdf file from mail. This is the error message I get..."The application “Adobe Reader” failed to open the attachment “HRA-Reg-SC-2009.pdf”. Would you like to save the file to disk?"
    Then it says it "you cannot open this application because it is not supported on this architecture. Can anyone help me? Here I get a new computer and can't open pdfs

    Could be an adobe issue. Is it up to date? Within Adobe in the Help menu, try repair adobe installation. In the mean time, right click on any pdf and Get Info. Under open with, change it to preview.

  • Can't open attachments in mail, all I can do is save files.

    Before I updated to ios5, I was able to open mail attachments by choosing an app. Now all I can do is save the file. If I use gmail directly, I can use an app to view an avi file so it's not the app as I had previously thought. Any suggestions?

    I'm trying to open avi files with either goodplayer or oplayer. I can open them with oplayer if I get my email on the web instead of in mail which makes me think the issue is with mail.
    That would be a good guess, and it will probably be addressed in an upcoming update, but it sounds like you are getting along OK for now

  • How can I open links from mail in the background?

    I receive a lot of digest emails with lots of links. I would like to be able to click all of the links in a given email, have Safari open those pages in the background, and then when I'm done selecting the links I can switch to Safari and read them all. It's a logical workflow for me: click all the links you want to read, THEN go read them.
    But instead, every single time I click on a link it jumps to Safari, so I have to switch back to Mail, click on the next link (which again jumps to Safari), etc. NetNewsWire allows me to open all my links in the background so I can avoid all this switching back and forth--can Mail do the same thing?
    Thanks in advance for any help ...
    --Bill

    You should be able to Command-click on the link in Mail and have it open in the background.

    Hi Boxergirl,
    Did you happen to install anything else, or make any other changes to your system. I'm flummoxed how signing up for an online service could affect file associations. Here are the steps for resetting file associations on Windows 8.1: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows8_1-desktop/windows-81-how-to-set-a nd-restore-file/16c2e10d-ec99-4fee-8f56-b87c4338e006
    Please let me know how it goes.

  • 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.
