How do i open an email attachment on ipad?

I cannot open any attachments on my ipad. Can anyone maybe tell me why or what I can do ?

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....

  • Adobe reader error when openning an email attachment on ipad.

    I can not open Adobe documents sent via email on my iPad since upgrading the app. This is the message:

  • Opening up email attachment on iPad.

    I use documents to go, but when I get an email with an excel sheet I can't open it.  It shows up as an win mail.dat file but when I also send that email to another iPad user with documents to go it shows up as an excel file and opens.

    The emails are probably being sent to you in rich text format - you will either need to get them resent in plain text or HTML, or there are some apps in the store that might be able to read them (search the store for winmail) : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1506

  • How do i open an email attachment in pages app on ipad ?

    HHi, I have been sent an email with an attachment that I need to complete and send back, I have purchased the pages app but I cannot work out how to open the attachment in pages? Can anybody help please?

    First of all it has to be compatible with Pages. It has to be a .doc, .docx, or a native Pages document or you will not be able to open and edit it in Pages. If it is one of those file types' just tap and hold down on the attachment icon in order to bring up the Open In window. Select Pages from the Open In window and the document will open in the Pages app. If the document is already open, tap on the screen to enable the share icon in the up upper right, then tap that icon to invoke the Open In window,

  • How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
    However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
    But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

  • How do I open a mime attachment on my iphone ?

    How do I open a mime attachment on my iphone email?

    You can't.
    All attachments must be encoded before being sent and MIME 1.0 is the industry standard for message encoding.
    When receiving a message with an attachment file type that cannot be recognized by the email client and/or by the computer/device used, MIME attachment will appear instead.
    This can mean the attachment that was sent is a file type that cannot be accessed/viewed by the iPhone. I also see the same on occasion when a received message was forwarded by the sender and the message received by the sender contains an attachment that can be accessed/viewed by the iPhone but the original message that was forwarded was composed in HTML which can do screwy things with email on occasion - personally I wish HTML would be forbidden with the exchange of email - this along with forbidding the use of the AOL program to send email with attachments.

  • 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

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi there, if there is text in the body of the email it will print automatically when sent to an ePrint email address. The only way to just have the attachment print is for there to be no text in the email body.
    Hope that helps answer your question.

  • How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

    How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

    That is a dedicated Windows format for Microsft Works ( now obsolete) and there is no direct conversion on the Mac side. There are workabouts:
    http://www.ehow.com/how_6132993_open-wps-files-mac.html
    The best thing is to encourage those who send such files to use "Save as..." from Works to save the file in another format. I believe Works allows the .rtf format that will open in TextEdit on the Mac. If they have the .doc option, you can open the file with Apple's Pages, Word for Mac, or any of the free productivity suites like LibreOffice.
    I received .wps files on a Win computer that did not have Works and it did not get very far either. Sounds like someone is not very accustomed to sharing files online.
    Can you tell us what model iMac you have and what Mac OS version it is running? "iOS" is not a Mac computer OS; runs only on iDevices.

  • New document: How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems

    Have you ever had problems with PDF attachments sent from Adobe Reader for iOS using Share > E-mail Document?
    You may find this document useful to avoid the problems.
    How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems
    Please let us know if you have encountered different types of problems with PDF attachments.  We can look for solutions or workarounds for you.

    Unfortunately, we (Adobe Reader mobile team) do not know if/when Apple will fix the attachment problems (software defects) in Apple Mail.
    In particular, the attachment problem with Microsoft Outlook (See Problem #2 in How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems) appears to be a long-standing defect that has been known for years.  However, Apple has not provided any fix for Apple Mail yet.
    Adobe Reader for iOS merely launches Apple Mail (the default mail app on iOS) to send a PDF document as an attachment.  Adobe Reader has no control over whether or not to embed a preview image of an attachment in the body of an email message, which is known to cause the problem with Microsoft Outlook (on the receiving side).  The same problem happens when you send a single-page PDF document as an attachment along with an email signature from Apple iBooks on iOS.
    For now, all iPad/iPhone users can do is to avoid the problems by using the workarounds that are described in How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
    When new and different problems with PDF attachments are reported by Adobe Reader for iOS users, we will update the document above.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.
