Can't open Gmail or zip drives

I cannot open Gmail on my MacBook Pro. It opens fine on my I-Pad and I-Phone. It says it is unable to verify account name or password.
I also cannot open any zipfile attachments in any email on any of my Apple devices.
Can anyone help me please?

Do you have 2 - step verification enabled? That has caused problems for some.
Zipfile - What happens if you control click on the zipfile?
Have you tried downloading it and then opening in on the Desktop?

How can i open Mac formatted zip drive files on my pc

i have been given some zip drive discs which have been Mac formatted...how do i open these on a pc...is there any software i can install on my pc to read these formatted zip drive discs??

Hi Stuart,
you can also have a look at HFSExplorer: http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html
At the moment however it can only read not write to Mac drives.
But it is free and maybe sufficient.

Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

Hi,
Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
Files that were created earlear also not opened.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
SSL yes
port 587
SMTP Authentification Yes
Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
I'll try and use the old passwords later.

Can't open Gmail in Firefox but Internet Explorer can!

Though my browser deletes everything before it exits out I didn't take any chance and ran CCleaner and in-spite of this I can't open Gmail. Mozilla says Untrusted Connection! Gmail opens fine on Internet Explorer. There are some other websites as well that do not open here. All this started after the last automatic update. Can you guys find a solution for me?

Can't open dmg or zip files

I have Yosemite, and recently installed the latest system update for this.
I've noticed today that I can't open dmg or zip files - attempting to do this via the 'open with' command results in the icon for (eg disk utility) appearing in the dock and hanging.
I can mount via Disk Utility - though I'm having issues opening the resulting mounted applications as these then also appear in the dock and hang. Haven't found a way to open zip files yet.
I have tried repairing permissions and disk - with no effect. Restarting the finder also has no effect.
Anybody have any ideas what could cause this (these seem like basic functions) or any troubleshooting steps?
Many thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Can't open gmail in safari

today i can’t open gmail in safari. of course google is of no help. anyone else having this issue today?

By use of direct login to their site for webmail, there is no issue here.
A few days or up to a week ago, there had been reported issues with
gmail and they managed to fix some causes of that problem. Of course
when you aren't using a client software to access webmail, there may
be less issues than when it is set up to negotiate incoming/outgoing
download/uploads.
The problem may be based on your geographic location, too.

TS3276 I can not open gmail attachments on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow

I can not open gmail attachments on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow.... that only happend on Gmail account

It could be just an issue with the gmail server. I don't know what settings can be made for attatchments there. I generally leave those messages with large attatchments alone and view them on the computer. I was finding that certain large files like .wmv would sometimes take 5 to 10 minutes to open on the iPad.
Yes it's aggrivating, but I don't have that answer either.

Can I install a 100mb Zip drive in PowerPc G4 Quicksilver?

I am using a PPC G4 Quicksilver to replace a PPC G3 desktoop. I have a collection of 100MB zips I would like to access. Can I install an internal Zip 100MB drive in the second drive draw in the tower? If yes, ATA or SCSI.
Thank you,
Ed Gaiano

Even if you don't get a bezel it might be a good idea to close the opening. I don't know how closely engineered those computers are to air flow and cooling and leaving off a bezel might change those characteristics. I did something similar on a different model computer once and used foam rubber to pack around the edge. Not pretty I'll admit.

How can I open my portable flash drive in my Macbook Air?

It doesn't pop-out and I can't figure out how to open it!

I have a personal portable flash drive of about 150GB and I would like to work on the the document stored in it. When I connect it to my Macbook Air via the USB port nothing happens. It doesnt pop open on the computer screen and I don't know where to navigate to set it open and work on my documents.
In my last laptop as soon as I connect the flash drive it pops-up and ask me "what I would like to do" and from there I carry on. But in this new Macbook Air I acquire about a month ago, everything seems up-side down and difficult to navigate.
My question is: how can I open my this portabble flash drive when connected to the Macbook Air? Hope that explains well. Cheers.

LR2.7 second (new) laptop can't open catalog on external drive

I've installed and updated the same version of LR on a new laptop which I'm still setting up (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit). It sounds like it's ok to have two installs for one user at home, but the second one is still in trial mode so far. I wanted to see how much faster/better the new laptop handles the catalog which is on an external drive. The old laptop is Windows XP SP3 32-bit.
If I connect the external drive to the new laptop and try to open the catalog, it says it can't use the catalog "because it is not writable and cannot be opened.
This could be caused by incorrect permissions or because another Lightroom application is using the catalog...".
I am an Administrator on both machines. I don't see a lock file, and the Windows permissions for System and Administrators allow all (but Special Permissions is unchecked).
There are some photos on the old c: drive that I haven't copied over yet, but that shouldn't make a difference.
And I can still open the catalog on the old laptop.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

I hear that on Win 7, running as Administrator is not sufficient--you need to make sure that your account "owns" the files or directories that it's trying to access.
Also, with LR not running, check in the directory that the catalogue is in and if there's a file with a ".lock" extension, delete it.

Can't Open (Decompress) any ZIP files all of a sudden!

Hi
I've never had problems opening Zip files until a couple of days ago.
All of a sudden I can't open Zip files from 2 different sources.
I've tried downloading them in Safari and Firefox.
I've tried the built in expander and I've tried Stuffit (latest version) and The Unarchiver.
I keep getting error messages, usually saying the data is corrupted or that it was compressed with an unknown method.
I got the original file re-sent to me several times (a purchase from a consumer website) with constantly the same result.
Then today I received a different Zip file from a completely different source with the same result.
My computer is up to date with all the latest Apple software updates.
I've tried repairing disc permissions.
Anyone know of this issue or have any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks.

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
"I've tried repairing disc permissions."
Did you restart your computer afterwards? If so, download a "zip" file. In the window that pops up, make sure *"Open With"* is selected. Make sure Stuffit Expander is selected or another utility that you want to open all your "zip" files.
Option: Select +"Do this automatically for files like this from now on."+
Click the "OK" button.
