Cant open Mail attachments with Yosemite OS

Just installed Yosemite OS, and now I cant open Mail attachments when I double-click the attachments - any file format! What setting do I need to edit to enable viewing of attachment when I double-click on it?

Why not post this in the forum that handles these things?
The 10.8 Mail forum.

I cant open Mail attachments on iPhone 6

Before when using iPhone 5, I could open a Mail attachment in several Apps like Pdf Reader, TopDocs,MSWord etc. Now I bought iPhone 6 and I cannot open any attachment whatsover. I know how to download attachment in Mail and hold the attachment and direct it to an App for reading and opening; however, with iPhone 6 using iOS8.1.2 nothing happens after directing iPhone to an App to open the attachment. This is very annoying as it so frustrating to roll the clock backwards when one thinks one is advancing by upgrading into new devices and software. I have gone to Settings, Mail and Email account and see if there should be a listing of Apps that should be connected with Mail to open an attachment but there is none other than Mail, Contacts, Calendars and Notes??? .... Any troubleshooting suggestions how to fix? Thank you.

Hi Sign out of iTunes on iPhone then Sign back in. That may help. If not try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down Until you see Apple Logo. You will not lose any data. Cheers Brian

I cant open email attachments since ios5 update

Since updating to ios5 I cant open email attachments, (word, excel or pdfs)- help please!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Since upgrading to 8.0.2, I can't open mail attachments JPG

Why can't I open mail attachments photo.JPG, PDF... I could before I updated to 8.0.2

Did you have Firefox 37.0 or 37.0.1 before you updated? The changes were very minor, so I think the problem is more along the lines of a glitch than a program change...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

I cant open many website with firefox, there say filter not let open this site, but when i open they with internet explorer not have any problem.

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

I cannot open mail attachments on my iPhone 4S. I have reset it 3 times and lost Bluetooth once, but at least it's back on.

I cannot open mail attachments on my iPhone 4S. I have reset 3 times and actually lost Bluetooth once, but at least that's back on now.

Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

Cant open my libery with this version

You cant open the libery with this version of Iphotos
You opend your libery with a never version.....
How do I do sow my photos dont desepire?
How do I find the newer version?
thank you for help
( sorry teknology is not my strong side)

Back up your iPhoto library,
Not your photos - your library - this simpy involves making a copy of it in case of problems - Is does not involve using iPhoto in any way
However if you do not allways have a current backujp you will lose all of yoru photos and all other files sooners or later - things fail - if you do not you seriously need to pruchase an external drive formatted Mac OS extended tha is roughtly 2 1/2 times the size of your main drive and start running Time Machine or other backup software immediately if your photots have any value at all to you

Cant open certain emails with attachments

Hi
I'm having a problem with my iphone running ios 7.1.2 with exchange mail server, cant open up certain emails with atttachments, no similar pattern can be new email or replied email, any type of attachement, i just get nothing, any ideas?
Thanks

close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the device to boot back up.
Then check emails again.

Cant open Mail after Mountain lion update

So I updated my Macbook pro to mountain lion 10.8.2 and now when I go to open mail it says version 6.1 of mail cant be used with this version of os x

Hi no real idea on this, but many Network connectivity issues have been solved by this...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Also, turn off IPv6:

Or whatever Interface you use.

Can't open mail after installing yosemite

Hi,
I just istalled the yosemite on my mac, and now I can't open the mail.
Have tried sever times. Everythings seems good in the beginning and downloads all the messages. But then I get a message that the Upgrade failed and that the index is damadged. It says I can repare it by opening mail again, but the same thing keeps happening.
Regards,
Helga Marie

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Problem opening mail attachments after snow upgrade

Hi,
After upgrade to snow leopard , mails which are coming from unix servers are coming as Mail Attachments.If we want to open them we need to right click and choose the application to open.
Could you please suggest how to open directly.
For Example : We generate a excel report(abc.xls) from unix box and send to users.Before upgrade the mail will show that report as excel with name as abc.xls and we can open by clicking it.But after upgrade it is coming as MailAttachment(name of he file is not abc.xls but MailAttachment)and we are not able to open by clicking.

As an addendum, anyone with IMAP or Exchange accounts should be aware of what Apple says about reindexing by this method at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
Note the advice to remove account folders, and let Mail build new ones for IMAP accounts.
