Cannot open attachments - various errors

We have a problem on a few macs in the office - not being able to view attachments. In all cases, the attachments (PDF and DOC files) are fine on any other computer, but when downloaded from the Mac Mail program to the desktop, cannot be read. If opened from within Mail, the same errors occur.
In the case of the PDF, the error mentions a problem with the "root," and in the case of a DOC, it says the file is "corrupt."
Is anyone else experiencing this? Could it be part of the recent OS X updates?

Turns out the problem was on the mail server side. Microsoft ExchangeLabs service has worked out a problem to the solution, which is related to POP and IMAP services. They are to post it soon.

  • Cannot open attachments with my firefox. my wife can with IE

    with firefox I cannot open attachments in my emails. I have been forwarding these emails to my wife's email. She is using internet explorer by yahoo through AT&t and then I have no trouble opening them on her email.

    hello jrhjmh, are you a yahoo mail user and does it work when you access yahoo mail through this link?: https://mail.yahoo.com/
    <sup>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971042</sup>
    I'm not sure as to what exactly is going on, but it looks like yahoo has changed something on their side that makes certain old urls/servers dysfunctional (you may be currently using those because you've bookmarked them before or through your history) - at least quite a number of other users have reported that...
    <br>so using the generic address https://mail.yahoo.com/ as a bookmark should lead you to the current & working url.

    I have bought a new computer and backed up off time machine backup now I cannot open photoshop get error code 150 30 help appreciated.?

    Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
    When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
    If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

  • I cannot open attachments

    Hi, when I try to open an attachment most times it does not work. I do not get an error message, but a window blinks instantly (i cannot read what it says, it might be the "download" window from the shape and nothing happens, the external application does not open or leads the file (if opened already). I have to save the file first and then I can open without any problem. This issue is not specific to any file type. If I try to open a file several times at some point it might work.
    Thanks!

  • Possible cause of "Cannot open Excel file error"?

    Hi!
    Here's my problem: one of our LabView applications creates .xls Excel
    files.  However some of these files are too big to be opened into
    Excel, so we need to open these files in DIAdem to analyse the data (in
    fact, even the smaller ones often need to be analysed in DIAdem). 
    The problem is that DIAdem seems totally unable to open Excel files,
    small or big, created by our LabView application or not.  The
    error message appearing when we try to import Excel files is "Cannot
    open Excel file"... which doesn't give any clue about the cause of the
    error.   My question is: what may cause this error to
    occur?  I searched both the help and the website without finding
    useful information.
    The computer is running on WinXP with OfficeXP installed, and we are
    using DIAdem 9.0.  If additionnal information is required, just
    let me know.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    I did some experiments this morning.  First of all, the file I had
    created using Excel that I tried to open yesterday just opened.  I
    don't know why it didn't work yesterday, but, for now, it's
    working.  Now, for my LabView-created files, I still get the same
    error message.  However, if I open the files in Excel and try to
    save, a warning message appears, saying that the file may not be
    compatible with the text (separator:tabulation) format.  If I
    ignore the warning and save the file as a .xls file, I can now import
    it into DIAdem.  The problem is probably that my LabView-created
    files are not "real" .xls files.  Now, this is a problem, because
    I can't open some of the bigger files in Excel without having the data
    truncated (Excel has a maximum of 65536 rows); last year, using DIAdem
    8.X (I don't remember the exact version we had), I could open those
    files without any trouble... Is there any way to get those files to be
    opened with DIAdem 9.0?  I attached one of those files if it may help.
    Thanks!

  • Cannot open Firefox. Error Platform version 1.9.2.15 is not compatible with minVersion =1.9.2.16 maxVersion =1.9.2.16

    Received an update yesterday that turned off Norton before installing itself. Now cannot open Firefox. Get error message.

    This issue can happen if the updater wasn't able to update all the files.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • "Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

    Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer.  I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
    Extraction Failed
    Cannot Open Output File
    And the process closes.  It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
    Any idea why?  I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support??  Poor, poor customer service.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    If you haven't still got the  Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop.  If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
    Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
    Download and install 7-ZIP.  Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
    Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ).  Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
    Hope this helps.
    Best wishes,

  • I cannot open attachments in my e-mail

    whenever I get a e-mail in my comcast web e-mail program with a attachment I cannot open the attachment

    I've been on here for hours trying to figure out where the directions are for this - there's never an answer but finally found it. Go to Tools, Options, Applications and then Help. That's where the instructions are for Firefox File Handling - it helped me alot, although I still like the way IE opens attachments better. I am getting so I really like Firefox though, especially how incredibly fast it is. :)

  • I cannot open attachments in Mail

    Suddenly, I cannot open any attachments in mail.

    I see it's been sometime since this problem was posted, but in case it's helpful...
    I found a solution to be to goto "View," then, "Message," and then choose "Best Alternative."
    This suddently allowed the attachment to be visible for me. I am not certain why this happens, may be related to Outlook 2011 formats for sending emails, but this is merely conjecture. I tested some emails (both to iCloud and Gmail) with attachments and did not have the same problem.
    Hope this helps!
    Best,

  • Cannot Open Attachments in Foxfire but OK in Internet Explorer

    I cannot open any attachments in Foxifre but do not have problem at all in Internet Explorer. I have reset cookies and cache already, to no avail.

    Hello Audrey.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Cannot open attachments with diacritics in Thunderbird

    When I receive an attachment in Thunderbird that has non-ASCII characters in the name (eg 'españa.pdf') I get an error that the file cannot be opened. The error message shows something like '/tmp/espa?na.pdf'.
    Strangely enough, this works in MEPIS, using the same thunderbird binary and the same profile on the same machine. In MEPIS, the system locale is set to en_IE.utf8, in Arch it is en_GB.utf8, not a significant difference I think.
    So, I am stuck. I am wondering, is there a way to set an encoding on a file system? Any other setting that might be involved?
    TIA!

    .eml files are e-mail files. You need an e-mail program to open them.
    Thunderbird is my program of choice, but there are many others (both online and stand-alone on your PC.).
