Unless you believe middle-click is yours and don't like it being usurped, mine is set globally to "Enter".

How do I open attachments in emails I receive to view them before I send them on to friends?

Often, pictures or simple documents (eg, one-page PDFs) will appear directly within the message itself. You can also use the Quick Look button next to the attachments line (in the message header) to view and scroll through the files (provided they're viewable, and aren't compressed or binary files).
You can also click Save next to Quick Look to save the files to your Downloads folder.

How can I open attachments in email

Are you sure that the attachment file type is a supported file? Can you open the attachment on your computer?
If the answer to both questions is yes - try quitting the mail app completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Desktop clutter: How to stop opened attachments from saving on desktop?

Hi,
Every time I open (not save) an attachment, a copy of it is automatically saved on my desktop. My desktop continually gets cluttered. I've searched on my computer but can't find where I'd go to change the default settings so this will stop happening.
Thanks for any help!

Are you referring to attachments in email, or
attachments as part of web
pages (such as download are sometimes erroneously
referred) or in what
application are you interested in controlling this
action?
The Finder preferences generally do not blanket
control these kinds of
actions; so if you are using an email application or
a browser with email
handling capabilities, these usually have a set of
preferences you can
control and choose what it does with files downloaded
or attachments.
Some attachments can be set to open in another
window. In some
applications, you could assign a folder once and have
things go into it.
What applications are you using that generate these
attachment files?
Thanks. I am referring to email attachments. I always use Mozilla Firefox to open up email attachments. In Firefox Preferences under the download tab you can choose either "Ask me where to save every file" or "Save all files to this folder." I've set it to "Ask me where to save every file" of course yet this is still saving to my desktop. Further, I don't even want to save the files, the files always save to my desktop when I just try to open, not even save, an attachment.
Thanks for your help.

When I receive an email that includes an attachment, I am not able to open the attachment. I get this message:

If its a software issue because of a bad install of the update there are a few things you can do to try and fix it yourself; restart, reset, restore from backup, and restore as new. Doing the first two won't cause any data loss and are the easiest to do. A restore from backup will reinstall the OS but it might reintroduce the glitch if it was caused by corrupt apps or data. A restore as new sets your phone up in a new out of the box condition. I suggest you back your data up to your computer via iTunes before you do anything - just in case. If you are going to do either restore methods do it through iTunes rather than over wifi. If you do the restore to new then test your phone to see if you still have the same issues before you reinstall your apps and data.

Are that PDF files?
Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

How can I open email attachments in Pages?

I am unable to open email attachments such as Word docs and PDFs in Pages. If I select them I get "open in mover lite." Until recently, when I selected them I could open in iBooks but that is no longer an option for me. I am not sure iBooks would help anyway!

according to MS KB article:

That file is made when someone is using Rich text format and attaches a file. Have them switch to either HTML or plain text and reatatch the file and you should see the proper attachments.

How can i Open mail attachments in a separate Window

Who knows how I can open attachments from mails like PDF and so on in a new window so that I just see he attachment not the email text and the attachment?
Mercy

if you're using the iPad's mail application just tap on the attachment and it should open up in a new window with the attachment shown full screen. if you're using a web site to view you're email it's up to the particular site though if you do a long press you may get an option to open the file in a separate window
Really hope that helps

I have received emails with attachments such as .wmv .avi etc How do I open them on my new iMac ?

How do I open attachments such as .

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs running Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard, but has not been tested on Lion, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/adobeshockwaveplayer.ht ml
Note that if are running an Intel Mac you need version 11 of Shockwave Player as previous versions only run natively on PPC Macs:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/822/82216d24.html
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs using OS X prior to Lion,, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/10/29/apples_ios_pushes_microsoft_to_dia l_down_silverlight_for_html5.html and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11673384
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.
