Can't open attachments on one account but can in another. Something within the one account not functioning?

When I click to down load the attachment in one of my Yahoo accounts, the box telling me a virus scan runs and finishes showing "Scanning is complete and no viruses were detected" then i click the Continue button which simply disappears and nothing else happens.
If I forward the same email to another Yahoo account and go through same procedure, the attachment opens and I can Save it or Open it, which seems to indicate the problem is lying within my account . . . but where?
thanks in anticipation

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

What do i do if i need to make a new apple account but have gift card money on the one im using now?

i have to make a new apple id because i cant remember the security questions to my old one and cant use the money i have on it. but i dont want that money to go to waste. is there any way to transfer that money to the new account i want to create?

You can't transfer a balance from one account to another account, nor use it to gift content to another account. Have you tried getting the questions on your existing account reset ?
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Can't open pdf files in IE8, but can in Chrome, using Reader 9

Settings for Adobe Reader 9 include, under "Edit->Preferences->Categories:Internet->Display PDF in browser (enabled)", (Adobe Reader 9 settings should be all default).   Internet security settings in IE8 are also default.
Opening a link to a pdf file, say from a search engine query, used to take place in the browser window. No longer so.   All I get when selecting a link to a pdf file is a blank, grey Adobe Reader screen launching, not from within the browser, but as an external window with a blank error dialog box, - and there it hangs.   No document is loaded and the web page crashes, forcing a recovery of the tab by IE8.   I recently updated both to IE8 and Adobe Reader 9 so I don't know which is the source of the problem.
I have been able to work around the problem in IE by right-clicking the pdf link and "save as", then opening the downloaded document from the desktop.   Reader otherwise works fine as a stand-alone utility to open pdf files.   Also, Reader works as expected from within Chrome, and pdf file links are opened effortlessly as a tab within Chrome.
I mostly use IE and do not like Chrome for other reasons, and would like to fix IE so it properly opens pdf files within the browser.   As it is now, pdf files simply crash IE, forcing its automated error recovery.    I have seen similar questions elsewhere, but none of the solutions offered seem to work.

Hi there
I have to analyse similar cases and was wondering if you found any solution.
Did u try to disable the "PDF in Browser"-setting in Adobe? The PDF will open in the Adobe window and not in the browser window anymore, but at least it didn't crash.

I have 2 email accounts but gmail will only send through the bt account and i need it to send through gmail? help!

My gmail account only sends emails through bt account and dont want it to ? help

You may have to use a second web browser & login
instead of mail client software, for the gmail account.
Check Google mail support for ways to set up POP
or other Mail settings that may work with your ISP.

Good luck & happy computing!

We have 2 iPhones and two iPads, we what to sync one phone and one iPad to an iTunes account and the other iPad and iPhone to a different iTunes account, but it keeps trying to sync the first accounts music, apps etc. We are using the one (only) computer.

My wife and I have an iPhone 3GS and and new iPad 2 each and we also have separate iTunes accounts.
We have only one computer and whilst I have no problem syncing the computer and my iPhone and iPad, I now need to sync my wife's phone and iPad but for some reason even when we sign into her iTunes account iTunes wants to sync my content to her devices.
Please could someone confirm how we can avoid this and ensure our content is kept separate and distinct
Thanks in anticipation

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

In dveloping a web page as a new user to html, I can't open my file in Firefox but can in IE what is the difference in this HTML for Firefox?

I have a problem with the HTML documentation on all of my pages nothing will shows. I had a page developed ion 2006 that worked fine and but then none of the pages worked so I began to rewrite new pages as opposed to revising my old ones. Nothing is working and nothing will show up and the HTML language is all checked. I wrote a simple page to show one graphic and it still will not work. Am I missing something here at the beginning of each page? This happens to all people that try to view my page using Firefox. I am as you can guess a novice at this.

Why can I open Word documents with Pages but can't open Pages documents with Pages? Oh, that's right, I have to PAY EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND

Sorry, this just upsets me.

Heaven knows what you are talking about.
I suppose you might, but probably don't, which is why you are huffing and puffing.
Probably this is about Pages '08 not opening the later Pages '09. Given that Pages '09 introduced many features that Pages '08 didn't have, it is not too surprising.
Remind me what it costs to buy Pages '09 from the M.A.S. to use on as many computers as you want.
Also remind me what it costs for Ms Word, or even lunch. I'm sure you have blown more on a whim than you ever will on something as useful as Pages.

Can't open AOL Mail with Firefox, but can open AOL website. Have to use Internet Exp. to get into mail. Help!

Have always been able to get into AOL Mail, until recently; last 2 - 3 days. Can get into AOL website, just not mail. No problem with any other websites. Have to get to mail using Internet Explorer, and I hate Internet Exp. What has happened and how do I fix it? I tried reloading Mozilla Firefox, but that did not help.

Hi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
Any ideas????
Thanks, Ginny

My MacBook Pro (mid 2010) won't startup correctly in my admin account, but works fine if I use the guest account...

My MacBook Pro (mid-2010) suddenly stopped working when I was overseas, but I managed to fix it when I returned back to the States after I reformatted and erased the disk, then installed Yosemite. I lost most of my files but didn't really care, though I noticed that some pictures from iPhoto had survived and were in the Trash folder.
I thought I could copy/paste them back into iPhoto, but it wouldn't let me since they were still in the trash. I started getting an error message for EACH PICTURE saying it couldn't be copied because it was in the trash, and when I realized that I'd have to click "ok" 644 times (once for each picture), I tried to restart, then shut down, and eventually forced a shut down by holding down the power button. This is where the problem started...
After trying to startup again, I was able to login to my admin account, and the desktop image would load, but I'd get the spinning rainbow wheel and the computer would remain frozen like that from then on. I tried to repair the disk (there was nothing wrong), and even re-installed the operating system again, but still the problem persists. BUT, if I login with my guest account, everything works fine.
I'm guessing it has something to do with it somehow being frozen on those error messages for those 600+ pictures, but I have no idea how to fix/unfreeze it. Any tips or suggestions?

Can the use of SATA3 instead of SATA2 hdd lead to some issues with my macbook?
I can try to find and buy new SATA2 sdd hdd but they are expensive and I'm not sure it will fix the restarting issue.
SATA3 is backwards compatible with SATA2. That is not likely to be your problem.
Based on what you have done, I suggest a reinstall of the OSX.
Ciao.

We had to change email and I can't access the old one. iCloud sends instructions to change passwords to the old account. I have tried deleting the old iCloud and create a new account, but it shows iCloud sent verification to the old email address again!

We had to change our email address and I cannot have access to the old one. I have changed accounts but iCloud sends verification instructions to the old address. I deleted the old but it won't let me access a new account without he verification and they keep sending it to my old email address.

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

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 have activated 2 iPhones using my iTunes account, but I now would like to take one iPhone off this account, and start its own iTunes "pairing" in order to back up, without cross syncing between purchases, how can I do this?

I have activated 2 iPhones using ONE iTunes account, but I would now like to remove one iPhone from the account and add it to a new iTunes account. This is so that I can back it up without cross syncing between purchases/apps on both iPhones.
Whats the best method for this?
I'm running Windows 7
Many thanks

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.
