Can't open attachments in iCal

Hi guys,
Just have a fairly recent but sticking problem where I can add attachments to iCal easily, but opening them again is impossible. Double-clicking, option-clicking = nothing.
Anyone else got the same issue?

I am having the same frustrating problem with my iCal
I am running Mavericks. I have stopped using Numbers due to the latest update is absolutely hopeless to use.
I use Microsoft office for Mac 2011 now. I purchased a copy because I could not backdate my edition of numbers.
I have tried everything to open my saved and linked attachments in Excel spreadsheet form on my Tabs saved on a daily basis in my calendar.
This ongoing problem is a real bugbear in the day-to-day running of my work and reporting
Surely Apple need to address this absolutely hopeless situation. Is a total fundamental requirement of the iCal system. What's the point of it.
Over & out. The dedicated apple fanatic who is slowly and surely being deluded by poorly thought out software which seems to have forgotten that some of us use a computer and not an iPad or iPhone.
Not happy

After update I am no longer able to open email attachments by just clicking on the attachment. I now have to click control and then click open linked file. How can I open attachments by simply clicking on them?

Unless you believe middle-click is yours and don't like it being usurped, mine is set globally to "Enter".

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.

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.

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 attachments and Jpegs from my email

I upgraded to Firefox16 and since can't open attachments or jpegs in my yahoo email account. Yahoo claims that the problem is with my browser.

Hello tbrowntx, see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file#os=winxp&browser=fx16 Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file]

How can I open attachments in email

How can I open attachments in email

Are you sure that the attachment file type is a supported file? Can you open the attachment on your computer?
If the answer to both questions is yes - try quitting the mail app completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

Hi there. I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac. On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types. If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview. I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens? That will help people to help you.

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'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?

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 in firefox. Ok in i.e and from iphone and outlook

When using firefox for email, I am now unable to open any attachments. It has happened during the last week, before this it was fine and I haven't changed any settings (that I am aware of).
I have tried all the usual reboot stuff and looked at as many settings as possible, but nothing jumps out.
The same email attachments open fine in outlook, from my iphone and in ie, but I prefer the firefox as I am used to using it for so long now. Also, old attachments that I have opened in the past will no longer open.
Never had any problem before with opening attachments. All programmes are affected - word, excel, pdf etc.
Thanks - Jacki

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

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 google docs anymore

Some time this past week I've stopped being able to open attachments in my Gmail with Google docs. I've restarted Firefox, restarted my computer, checked my plug ins are updated (updated Flash) but nothing makes a difference.
When I click view it opens the Google docs tab and says loading and the page opens as if it's will finish downloading but then never finishes. The page remains blank and just says loading.
I also no longer have the option when I click download of opening immediately, or saving. Now I can only save the file and then open it. No option to open it directly.
I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8, Firefox 4.0

Whats the answer please?
- cause I have the same problem
