Can't open e-mail attachment from Russia to UK

Hello,
I've been sent an e-mail attachment from Russia to the UK but when I click on 'downdload file' I get the message 'Cannot open file'.
I'm using Windows 7 on a laptop.
Would be grateful for any advice.

Better yet, ask the sender to use a file sharing service (Acrobat Workspaces, Dropbox, Google Drive, ...), then send the download link by email.

Hi there!
There are a multitude of questions/answers to go through to help you out, but those won't work unless you come to the forums and register an account. For instance, if you are on BES, then you need to go see your BES admins as they are in control. If you are on BIS, then there may be resolution steps you can attempt:
1) Register HRT:
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > BBKey (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books:

Please come to:

and register an account. Then post to the applicable forum.

Can't open e-mail attachment

I have an email with an attachment that won't open. It told me to sign up for Adobe, which I did, but the attached
still won't open. What do I do?

Hi jhammer1,
Do you get an error message when you try to open the PDF attachment? You say you signed up for Adobe; does that mean you get a free Acrobat.com account? Or, did you download and install the free Adobe Reader? If you don't have Reader, please download it from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html and install it. Once it's installed, you should be able to open PDF attachments.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Can't open big PDF attachment from Mail

hi, guys:
We have this issue with both iPad and iPad2.
I have setup EXchange account and be able to download and read Emails.
However, we found when we try to open big size (more than 1MB ) PDF.
As matter of fact, we can't even download the size of file.
We click the attachment, then, arrow starts to spin and spin and none stop.
Any ideas why? and how do we resolve this issue?
Thank you very much.

This looks like a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services. The notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved.
Resetting Launch Services
The following article also describes the side effects of cache cleaning:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
The following article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner.
In addition to the utilities mentioned above, you may also consider OnyX, which is free. If you want to try OnyX, after installing it, do this (be sure to read the articles about the side effects of cache cleaning first):
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you've already done them using other utilities.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart.
If that doesn't solve the problem, you may try again checking the Links between documents and applications option in step 3 instead.
And yet another free cache cleaning utility is Cache Out X.
Please, let me know whether you were able to solve the problem, what worked for you and what didn't.

Can I somehow copy mail attachment from iPhone to Mac?

Hello.
I would like to use my iBook in work (Im really really tired with PCs). Problem is, that all files I use are on PCs. I cannot connect directly to our work network, nor I can use internet connection here.
I can either use flash disc to move files. But I have other prefered way in mind. I would like to send files from my work PC by mail to my iPhone (thats the easy part using Edge) and then get these files to Mac (not through internet). Is there a way to do it? Through wifi network connection, blue tooth, cable connection? I didnt actually tested it yet, but I dont think Mail in iPhone would for example easily synchronize with Mail in iBook just by connecting iPhone to iBook with cable.
Any advices? Thanks.

Maybe I should more specify what Im talking about:
I need to move files from PC to Mac and back, so I can distribute them through internal network. I cannot connect to PC with Mac (admin doesnt allow that), my Mac doesnt have internet connection here. I can use the flash drive for file moving, but Im looking for something more sophisticated (if its possible).
I would love to use Mac/PC soft Dropbox, but I cant install anything on my PC (admin doesnt allow that). So I was hoping that:
1) I could send/recive files via mail and get them through iPhone - PC Outlook -> iPhone Mail -> Mac and Mac -> iPhone Mail -> PC (using wifi connection between Mac and iPhone, cable, blue tooth, whatever) or
2) I could somehow use iPhone with its Edge connection as a modem for iBook (which would be totally best, because I could also use "slow" edge connection ,with my unlimited data plan, for web browsing etc.

Can I send a mail attachment that will automatically open

Hello,
Can I send a mail attachment that will automatically open when the recipient opens the message. Sometimes when I get attachments they are already open and sometimes I have to open them. Why is this?
Thanks

Hello Bobejoe.

It isn’t.

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

IPad mini will not let me access mail after latest software update, 6.1.2, seems to want me to sign in, but whenever I type my Id ad password it just says that the mail account already exists.. Still can't open my mail!

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.
