Can't open pptx on my iPad

Recently I've found that I can't open pptx files from my email on my iPad. This is really frustrating and whilst previously the formatting was never great, it used to work and I could review presentations whilst on the move.
Apple please get onto this and provide a fix.

Look at the Rccharles answer on this post.

Also, you can download these free MS Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to view (but not create or edit) these files.

Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
Please help.

It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

Can not open app store in iPad 3

why I can not open app store in iPad 3

IF you get app update notifications, are you able to use the App Store from the Updates Tab? Try closing the App Store and reset your iPad. You will not lose any data.
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.
Next, 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.

Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.

Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad

Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad Brooks i was reading some days ago.

You can't - ibooks from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple haven't so far made a Mac or PC reader for them
If you don't have one of those iOS devices, then though all purchases are considered final, you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

iPad do not support flash natively.
Look in the app store, some browsers do support flash with limited functionality.

I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

You can't open it meaning it does not launch when you tap on the app icon? If that's what's happening try this and then see if Safari will launch.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Now close Safari. To close Safari, 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 Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail app to close it.
Now reboot the iPad. Reboot 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.
If Safari does launch and this isn't what you are experiencing - you need to explain in more detail what is going on.

Can't open Adobe documents on iPad 3

Can't open Adobe documents on iPad 3 with Adobe app

Here is web site where I had the problem.
http://hosted.rightprospectus.com/IvyFunds/Fund.aspx?dt=AR&cu=8911&ss=IF
Since then I received another such email with a pdf extension and it worked!
I got this reply from Adobe on my problem with the above link.
"Thanks John,
I looked at your screenshots, and it appears that the issue you are seeing is that the website you are trying to get the documents from is not compatible with the iPad. Unfortunately, many websites have still not yet updated to work with the new mobile systems, but since tablet sales are increasing rapidly, and should overtake laptops in the next 3 years, that will change.
The website seems to be using an HTML feature called “Object Embedding” which only works on desktop computers. The website seems to also be presenting a dialog to the user letting them know that to view the embedded PDF they need to install Adobe Reader, and forwards the user to our standard Adobe Reader download page.
The net is that I don’t know how to make this work for you, unless you can find a way to make that website give you a link to just download the PDF directly.

I can't open safari in my ipad 2, can someone please help me?

I can't open safari in my ipad 2, can someone please help me how to solve this problem?

If you have iOS6: Double click your home button. The app icons will line up on the bottom of the screen. Scroll sideways if needed to see the mail app. Hold your finger down on it until they all start to wiggle. Tap on the red circle to close the app. Single tap the home button to exit the mode.
If you have iOS7, double click your home button. You'll see the app icons and a preview window for the app. Scroll sideways if needed to access the mail app. Flick the preview window up and off the screen. Single tap the home button or tap on the home page preview to exit the mode
See if Safari will open after that.

TS2015 Can't open hotmail from my iPad using safari

Can't open hotmail from my iPad using safari

I've just spent two weeks trying to resolve this problem. Is it only hotmail or other pages ? I was having problem with other pages as well. I found a thread on here which said change the DNS number in your wi fi connection.
Tap blue arrow next to your wi fi connection and change DNS settings to 208.68.222.222. I changed mine and yippee it worked. Can sign in and out of hotmail. No problem Hope this helps.

I can't open pptx files on keynote 6.2

Hi. I am an Iwork user who got a pptx file from a windows user. The problem is that I can't open it on keynote, even when I can open it on my ios devices. I can see it in preview, but can't save it. It is strange because I had been aple to open other powerpoint's docs. before. I had tried changing the doc title, the doc .name, and if might be useful, might even try to convert it to something else. But, my question is, isn't keynote supposed to open it? Thanks.
jro

Gary: thanks for your reply. Neither one or the other. As my title states, I am using the latest version of keynote, and also, as I said, I am able to open it on my ios devices (ipad and iphone) so, that means that the file isn't corrupt.

Can´t open pptx file in recieved email

I have an iphone 5 with sw 6.1.4.
When i recieve an email with a Powerpoint .pptx attachement I can´t open it after the attachements has been fully downloaded.
Where the file should be is just a text (See attatched file: ---.pptx).

From what information I can find, it appears that that format is not supported by the device itself.
*Edit: On page 150 of the manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf) I located some more information about what is supported.
