Can,t open word,PDF or excel attachments that get sent to me what am I doing wrong?

Can't open attachments like Word,excel or PDF files I get sent what am I doing wrong?

What have you tried?  Ifmyou just tought the attachment, it will open in sort of a quick view mode.  For all of the file types you mentioned.  If you touch and hold, a small window will open and suggest other apps, if you have any loaded, that will also work with those file types.
So what happens when you tap an attachment?

  • I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?

    I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?  I go to the photo app, then albums and 2 show up, I tap edit and nothing happens...  I just want to delete these...

    How did they get on the iPad ? Only albums created directly on the iPad can be deleted via the Edit button.
    Albums/photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync, or you might be able to delete all synced photos/albums by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button, but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

  • [SOLVED] Can't get GDM to run - what am I doing wrong?

    Alright, I'm running a fresh, up to date install of Arch in a virtual machine, and I'm consistently unable to get GDM to work properly. I pretty much followed the beginners' guide, and tried reinstalling from scratch several times. I've installed gdm, gnome, gnome-extra, dbus, and anything else the wiki recommends, like virtualbox-archlinux-additions. I edited /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.conf accordingly.
    Relevant lines in /etc/inittab:
    #Boot to X11
    id:5:initdefault:
    x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
    Relevant lines in /etc/rc.conf:
    MODULES=(vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo)
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network crond)
    When I start the virtual machine, it displays the CLI login interface along with a bunch of warnings:
    Arch Linux 3.4.4-2-ARCH (tty1)
    vbox login: gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.271335 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011053 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011250 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010699 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010361 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010921 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors
    After that, I can still log in just fine, though I obviously never get into any desktop environment because of it. I have no idea where to find the X server log. I skimmed through /var/log, but couldn't find any log file with remotely helpful contents besides 'gdm'. The contents of the 'gdm' file:
    ** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
    ** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
    I've been bashing my head against this problem for several days now, but been unable to actually fix it. Anyone feel like pointing out what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?

    Aaaand figured it out thanks to that one. I skipped starting it manually in this VM; got it to work when started manually on a previous install, and hence assumed it'd be fine.
    Turns out, I was doing the installations of the base packages - # pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils - wrong somehow. I think I must've missed that step or something; installing xorg-server and xorg-server-utils through Pacman just now solved my problem.
    Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
    EDIT: Wonder, you ninja you.

  • HT204266 I can't find apps that I know are available what am I doing wrong? I have typed it correctly

    I can't find apps that I know are on the market what am I doing wrong?

    What specific apps are you looking for?
    Not all apps are available for all operating systems, and
    apps that are available in some countries may not be
    available in other countries.

  • HT6030 how can i send word/pdf/ppt/excel sheets as attachments to my emails via gmail using ipad

    i have been trying to save word pdf excel and ppts on my ipad and also send these files as attachements using gmail App but I am unable. please advise.

    Open the file you want to attack in an iPad program that will open it (Docs 2 Go for example). The program should have a share icon somewhere. Click on that and then select email. Without a little trickery I don't know how to attach more than one item per email.

  • Can't open any pdf in email attachments.

    Can open pdf already saved to computer, but can't open from email.  Windows 7, Firefox 25.0.1, Adobe Reader 11.0.4, and Plugin 11.0.4.63.  Email is yahoo (at&t version).
    Edit: It is the yahoo/att.net email program as I can open the pdf in another email program.

    What exactly means "can't"?
    Also, are you receiving your email in the Firefox browser?  If so, note that Firefox uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136

  • Can't open embedded PDF from Excel

    Our company recently upgraded from Acrobat Reader X to Acrobat Reader XI. Now we cannot open embedded PDF files from Excel. I am using Excel 2010, but I believe this is an issue for all versions. I get a repeated pop-up error message "Microsoft Office Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action". It appears the only way to stop the pop-ups is to stop all Acrobat instances from Task Manager. In Reader X, we had to uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" to be able to open embedded PDF files. I have had mixed results adjusting this and the "Enable Enhanced Security" setting in Reader XI. What is the right solution to this?

  • Just since the last update I can't open attachments. No matter which opener I choose, all I get is gabble. What am I doing wrong?

    I can't open text attachments. Even when I use the 'free document viewer' program all I get is a pattern of letters, not clear text. I've tried every program in the choices list, which doesn't include Adobe or Word, both of which are on my computer.
    I believe this problem started after the last Mozilla update, but I'm not sure. I receive messages in my Mail.com account on a cycle towards the end of the month, and this cropped up since the end of last month.

  • HT204382 This was no help at all. i can not open and veiw the video emails that are sent through

    I can not veiw my video emails that are sent to me..??

    It's not quite that. It is saying it's an MOV file which, although it is read by iTunes on the Mac, cannot be played by the iPhone. It's slightly confusing as I downloaded it off the iTunes store. Do you think this can be remedied? Or refunded?

  • I was able to hook up my ATV with HDMI. The picture came out fine and i can navigate fine however i have no sound. What am I doing wrong?

    I was able to hook up my ATV with HDMI. The picture came out fine and I can navagate but I get no sound. What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you for all your responses to my questions really appreciate it.
    I have the HDMI cable hooked up directly to the TV and I do not have an optical hook up directly on the tv. The receiver is in a separate room. Not close enough to connect to the receiver. Can I connect the apple TV though my DVD player which has a HDMI port and in the same room as the receiver?

  • I can't get TextWrangler to work as a comparison tool - what am I doing wrong?

    I've followed your help advice for 'Compare local and remote files for differences' and I can't get it to work.
    I have an iMac running OSX 10.7.2. I have Dreamweaver 5 and TextWrangler (3.5.3) installed in my Applications folder. In Dreamweaver, selected Edit - Preferences - File compare.
    Then I've added the code: Macintosh HD:usr:bin:twdiff
    However if I right click a local file and select 'Compare with Remote Server', I get a message saying 'There is no remote version of xxx to compare'
    This is despite the fact that I am connected to the remote site and can see the matching version of the file in the remote section.
    What am I doing wrong?

    You may have installed your TextWrangler application without administrator privileges. In this you'll have to look for the twdiff file in the Local Applications Support Folder (refer to TextWrangler User Manual).
    To fix your problem with Dreamweaver, while selecting your File Compare tool, try looking for the twdiff file in the following location :
    Macintosh HD:usr:local:bin:twdiff
    That should definitely work. It did for me
    Cheers!
