Everytime I open an email attachment or cd, my calendar page opens, Why?

The same goes with opening certain downloads.

Go all the way to the bottom of the email (even if it contains previous messages), and you'll see the attachment @ the bottom of the message and can just click on it to open it. I hope this helps. I had the same problem initially until I figured out what to do. Until then, it's very frustrating....

  • Is there a way to paste an email attachment into a pages template?

    That depends of what format the attachment is off.

    Redirect the saving of the attachment to a folder of your choice. There is a setting for saving attachment to a specific folder and another that allows you to chose which folder everytime you save an attachment.

    I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open.  I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case.  Please advise

    They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen.  I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
    I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
    doc.
    The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
    The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted.  OS is Windows 8

  • I have an email attachment that I would like to be able to access when NOTconnected.  I found one suggestion that I should open the attachemtn iniBooks and save it there.  Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that.

    I am trying to store an email attachment (an Excel spreadsheet) somewhere on my iPhone 5 to be able to access it easily in the future.  I do not need the ability to work on it, just to access it, although it would be convenient if i could load updated versions over it on a regular basis.  The spreadsheet was created in Excel on a laptop with Win 7.  I read one posting that said I should save the document to iBooks and then could open it whenever I wanted.  The same posting refered to something in the upper right corner of the attachment that enabled me to save it to iBooks.  Unfortunately, there is no such option showing when I looked at the file, which I did email to myself.  I was able to open the attachment, but can't get beyond this point.  My tech ability doesn't go much beyond being able to power up my phone, so I need a really simple solution, if one exists.

    First of all, Excel file can't save to iBook.  (iBook only can view PDF files). That's why you don't see it in "open in" options.  In order for you to save excel, you will need a third party app like Numbers, Office2.  There are a few free apps that can use to view.  I used Office2 from Byte2, because I can not only store and view later, I can do some edit too.  Especially when you want to edit a few numbers and re send them to my office or clients will be very useful for me. 

  • Mac won't open some files MasterPlan.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

    I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.

    The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded.)

  • Can't open PDF file as email attachment

    I have windows xp with adobe reader 8. When I try to open a pdf attachment file in my email it wants to go to my browser and won't open. Just get a warning messege. I want it to open in adobe reader. I can save it and then open it from my documents given on option when I right click. I do not get any options when I right click while it is still attached to the email. It started when I screwed up opening another pdf file in my email. An option box poped up with a chice between adobe or browser. I picked browser and then clicked the apply button. I have not been able to undo it. I can't find that option.

    I tried that.

  • I can't open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC.

    When I try to open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC I get this error message " Photyoshop CC.exe - Entry Point not found" with this string:

    I don't think I have ever been able to open an image directly from Outlook into Photoshop.  What you can do, is drag from outlook to desktop, and then from desktop into Photoshop.  Or, if seeing the windows at the same time is a problem, drag onto desktop, then minimise everything, and drag onto the Photoshop icon (if you have a Photoshop shortcut on your desktop).

  • No option when opening a pdf from an email attachment

    I recently had trouble opening a pdf file that was attached to an email, and while mucking around with it, I tried opening it up in Word (which didn't help that particular problem anyway).  Unfortunately, now, all my emailed pdf files open up automatically in Word rather than Acrobat Reader.
    So now my question is, how do I get them to automatically open in Acrobat reader directly from the emailed attachment instead of Word? At the moment I have to save them all to my c: drive, then right click on them and select Open With Acrobat Reader 10.  What I want is for them to automatically open in Acrobat Reader 10 rather than having to save them all to my c: drive first because I have many, many of them to print out.  Can anyone help me with this please?

    Hi,
    Can you try saving any PDF onto your local machine (say C:\) and then right click on the same.
    1. Click on the "Open With > Chose Program".
    2. Select Adobe Reader 10 and make sure that you check the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK and you should be good to go.
    Hope this does the trick

  • How do I edit an email attachment that opens in google documents. I have no option to open it in anything else.

    Hi, I wonder if any one can advise me?
    I have an email in a gmail account with an application form attached to fill out and return by email. I have tried everything but can't write on it. It opens in google documents and I can read it but not amend it.
    I have downloaded quick office and adobe reader but when I press and hold on the attachment it either just opens or bring up an 'open' button not 'open with'.
    I have also tried pressing the box with the arrow at the top of the safari page but this just has print, copy Facebook etc?
    I can just press download on my friends mac and I can write on the form but I have attachments I need to send with it so need to do I from the ipad.
    What am I missing, it surely can't be as difficult as I am making it?!
    Thank you in advance for any help,
    Emma

    This may seem like a silly question, but have you tried logging into your GMail account in Safari by going to http://gmail.com/, then clicking on the email attachment from there to edit it?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?
    Saved from where?  What is the file size of the saved document?

  • I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

    I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

    We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
    Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    This might help as well.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again
