I am unable to open attachments other than pdf. What do I have to change?

Please advise on how I can open all attachments

In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

  • Can't get adobe reader out of system - it always blocks opening items other than PDF files.

    I can't get rid of Adobe reader.  Want to get back to making Preview my browser default source.  Can't get this solution to work.
    Either "File"- "Get Info" in the menu bar or press Cmd-I. This will give you a pop up screen where you have an section called "Open with".  Go there, select Preview as the application to open the document with, press the "Change All" button and confirm.

    Remove Adobe plug ins, if any.

  • I am unable to open attachments (Word Documents, Excel file, Adobe) from my Gmail with Firefox.

    You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
    I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
    application/pdf
    Acrobat Portable Document Format
    Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
    (in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
    While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
    You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
    It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
    Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I am using Windows XP on my laptop. Had to format the C drive. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps.

  • Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

    Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

    Hi there.  I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac.  On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types.  If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
    OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview.  I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
    If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens?  That will help people to help you.

  • I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

    I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

  • I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

    I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

    iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
    It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
    When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
    If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
    Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
    Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
    So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
    If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
    Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
    Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.

    Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2

    when I start ffox I want the same 2 tabs to open EVERY time no matter what sites I have visited in previos session - can I achieve this

    In the home page setting you need to use a pipe (|) symbol as separator.
    See [[How to set the home page]]
    You can also create or modify a Firefox desktop shortcut and add the two URLs to the target field of that shortcut.
    In that case you need to separate the URLs with a space.

  • Unable to open attachments in my aol email account, i get a run time error. I am able to open them in ie. Also unable to open up a downloaded doc in word.

    Since updating to firefox 15. whatever and now 16.0.1, i have been unable to open up any email attachments in my aol email account. I am able to view them via internet explorer. Initially the attachment will open (i can see it) but then a message of "run time error" comes up and when I close that window, the document goes blank. Also, today I clicked on a link via an aol news story and the same thing happened. It went to my firefox downloads, I was able to see part of the document and then that window with "run time error" message in it popped up. Help!!!!

    This is a tip I got from ehow.com:
    "While less common in Firefox, runtime errors can still occur on that browser. To prevent it from happening again, merely uninstall and reinstall Firefox on your computer."

  • Since downloading Firefox 4, I am unable to open attachments in my Lotus notes e-mail account, but not if I open Lotus notes via Internet Explorer.

    I recently downloaded the latest version of Firefox (I have been using older versions for the last two years). However, when using my Lotus Notes e-mail account (through the University of Dayton), I immediately was unable to open e-mail attachments (both new e-mails and older, saved e-mails with attachments that had previously been opened. The word "attachment" appears at the end of the message (in light grey), but does not respond to the cursor. I have delayed working on this problem, because if I open Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, my Lotus Notes account will allow me to view new and past attachments. It seems that the new Firefox has changed some security setting that does not relay attachments with my incoming or stored e-mails. Suggestions--or should I continue to just always open with Internet Explorer?

    Maybe the "Remote XUL Manager" add-on mentioned in these threads will help?

  • Unable to open attachments from Exchange

    I have recently added two mail accounts to my iPhone one is POP3 and works perfectly; I can view images and attachments as expected. The other is my corporate exchange account. During the initial setup I received a certificate could not be loaded error and was prompted to press cancel or retry I pressed retry and the same message came back, I pressed retry again and the account verified. Mail, contacts and calendar started to sync and I thought everything was going to be fine. When opening emails I noticed that images failed to appear (a link in their place) and while I could see attachments I am unable to open them. When an attachment is selected it appears to be downloading, although the progress bar never makes any progress and just sits on 0kb of ?kb. The message is similar to what you would expect from plain text not HTML. I am able to see the company directory and edit calendar entries and all my contacts have updated just no images or attachments.

    Sounds like the attachments were not actually added to the reply, just placeholder text to show there was an attachment.  Mail, for example, inserts such text in replies by default, though you can change that behavior using Edit -> Attachments -> Include Original Attachments in Reply.  Forwarded messages in Mail should include the attachments by default.  Different e-mail clients may behave differently.

  • Unable to open attachments in WebUI only for some users

    Hello ,
    Can you please help with this attachment problem we have..
    Certain users are unable to open/view attachements in emails.
    This is causing huge downtime as the users work a lot on emails and attachments.
    1. Checked the profile of users who are able to open and who are not
    able to open and they appear same
    2. PC issue was ruled out as the user who was unable to open the
    attachment tried logging into the pc where user was able to open the
    attachment , but still could not open the attachment
    Can you please suggest what could be the issue.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Monica.

    Hi Monica,
    If the authorization check was not problems, and the problematic user tried in a same Internet Explorer with the same settings where another user can open attachments without problems, it's complicated
    I would tried to debug a little in the SAP system with the problematic user, trying to get some clues about it. I can point you:
    - The URL that is associated to an attachment is built on iterator class CL_CRMIC_ATTACHMENTS_IT, at method IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_CELL_START. There you have a switch, and when the p_column_key is 'FILENAME', check the value for
    lv_row_ref->url. It should be something like this:
    /sap(<COOKIESTRING>)/crm/crm_att_provide?cid=<CONTENT_ID>&content_disposition=attachment
    - When you try to open the attachment, the class that will handle this is CL_CRM_ATT_PROVIDER. Check method IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST and debug it's execution.
    Check if this helps you a little more...
    Kind regards,
    Garcia

  • People unable to open attachments

    Dear all,
    I have been having problems where people are unable to open documents that I send them as attachements to e-mails. This appears to only happen when I send them from Mail on my MacBook, but they can open exactly the same document if I log in online to my .Mac mail account and send it from there! Can't quite understand this. The outgoing mail server is set as my .Mac account, although I have also tried using my gmail account as the outgoing server too.
    Any help appreciated

    Conor,
    For info about Windows Friendly, see the support article at the link below, which is also found by using Mail Help:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/2.0/en/ml1014.html
    However, the use of Rich Text is often a separate issue, with some recipients. If you use Rich Text, and also, through the use of a Signature, or other source have more than one font used, then the message is converted to HTML, which in turn can introduce problems for some recipients. When only one font is in use in a message, Mail actually changes the message to Plain Text, on its own, but cannot do this when multiple fonts have been used.
    Have you recently changed your Signature, if you use one? Have you caused more than one font to be needed, such as with the use of Reply or Forward?
    More, info, please.
    Ernie
