I can open all emails ok but can't find or open attachments.

I can open all emails ok but can't find or open attachments.
The attachment bar at the bottom of incoming emails has no ''paperclip'' to select and open attached documents

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
See [[Menu bar is missing]]
Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

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

I have the interactive student mathematics CD for the Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0607) Extended from Haese & Harris Publications that requires Adobe Reader and includes a 'Self-help Tutor". I can open all the features using Adobe Reader except the Self-Tutor. I get a pop-up message saying that: I require an app to open "26Unitary Method.app". I can find no mention of this app online so can someone please help me?
Thank you.

Thank you for the prompt reply. The CD says that it needs Adobe Reader (and it does read the 'Text book'), but it is not opening the interactive elements. Great!
I am doing as you suggest and contacting Haese directly. Again, many thanks.

I can open all of my docs in Pages except for the last one I was working on for some reason. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

I can open all my docs in Pages except the last one I was working on. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

The document might be corrupt. If you worked on this particular document at all in the iWorks in iCloud.com beta, that may have caused a problem. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can rule that out as a possibility.
In any event, you could try opening the documents in iCloud.com using your computer, and see if you can download it to the computer, edit it there and then upload it again.

I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies

I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies & history and hard reset a number of times. I can open other websites no problems.
Any help appreciated.

You cleared cookies and data in Settings>Safari? Did you close Safari as well before you reset the iPad? Double tap the home button and drag the Safari thumbnail up to the top of the screen to close it.

710: Can't open/save email attachments. Please hel...

Hello!
I am brand new to the Nokia 710 and I have my AOL email account linked up to the phone. I am able to send and recieve emails just fine.
My problem is that when I try to open/download any attachments like a Word or PDF document that are in the emails, they never open. They start to open but never do. I can open these attachements on my old Palm Pixi rather quickly and without any trouble so I know it is not the files that are the problem.
I've searched both this USA forum and the UK one and didn't see anyone else with the same issue... so did I not set up something properly with the phone?
Many thanks.

Sorry to take a little while to respond back. I had to open a Yahoo account and then send an email with attachments to it and open the account on the Nokia phone to test it...blah, blah, blah...
The outcome... Yahoo works. Very quickly too. I tested two Word Docs and a JPEG.
I also set up a personal email account I have from a register.com domaine name (an IMAP, have no clue what that means) on the phone to test and... I can open the documents and the photo as well.
So, my question is why is it not working with AOL???
I know I'm and old dinosaur and it shows my age that I still use AOL and all, but I would hate to have to switch email addresses now just because I can't open attachements on this phone.
Any clues?

Can't open word doc attachments in pdf mail portfolio

I created a pdf portfolio by converting outlook mail messages in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I can open the attachments but my coworkers are unable to open email attachments that are word documents (they can open pdfs). When they go to Preferences --> Trust Manager, the first option about pdf attachments is grayed out and cannot be selected.
Can anyone please help tell me how to make the word documents accesible to other users.
Thank you

Hi,
I have Acrobat 9.5 on my machine and I am not able to see any problem in opening non PDF file attachments.
Please give the exact version of Acrobat you are using ( to see the version go to Help -> About Adobe Acrobat).
Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e 9.5.
As you have mentioned that in Preferences-> Trust Manager-> Allow opening of non PDF file attachment with external applications is grayted out,
is it a custom installation of Acrobat ?? because in normal installation this option is not grayed out.
Thanks.

Why can't I open word email attachments on iPhone on io7

I was able to open email attachments before the io7 update, now I can't open any attachments in Word. I can open Excel but not Word. I've gone back to try and view Word attachments that I had opened and viewed with no issue prior to the update and now I can't open them.

What happens when you try? More info would be helpful. In any case, the first thing to try is a reset, cures 99% of glitches. Hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Recipients can't read email attachments

Scenario: Office full of Macs. All supposedly configured exactly the same (same OS, same version of Word, etc.) When one staff member creates then sends documents (so far Word and pdf docs), others can't read the attachments. The attachments, when opened in Word, look like gibberish.
The employee in question is using Mac Mail as the mail client. The others are using Thunderbird.
But here's the thing. When we take a file from the affected computer, put it on someone else's computer, then email it, the file comes over ok.
Also, we were able to test sending the same file from another Mac using Mac Mail and the file was okay.
I checked the mail preferences to see if he had the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" option clicked. He did not.
Any ideas on where I should look to fix this problem?
Thanks.

So, the problem is in the Mac Mail set-up.
Have the user try changing some of the parameters.
Though Ernie has show himself to be smarter than I, I think that it has nothing to do with Exchange or anything besides how the Mac user using Mail.app has it configured, and -- so -- how the email is constructed and sent from that machine.
You said, "I checked the mail preferences to see if he had the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" option clicked. He did not."
Okay. So set the option, restart Mail, and try it.
I have it set. I send Office docs, PDFs, everything, to people using every email client you can think of. I cannot think of one time I had a problem like this.

Unable to open gmail email attachments on iPad3

I recently bought the new iPad. I configured gmail on iPad, however I am unable to open email attachments. Despite clicking on the attachments, the grey dashes around the attachments dont change & subsequently the am unable to view the attachments.
I have already reset the iPad a few time which included erasing all content & restoring it completely
Need some help to figure this one out.

What you're experiencing is one major issue raised by iPad users. Yes, you are far better using the Gmail App than the native Gmail on iPad. Even with the native, if you switch to desktop view, you'll have the same issue.
My issue has been, in the native version, can't attach anything without issues. Using the Gmail App, I'm able to attach, but only pictures. It doesn't allow me to open other subfiles to attached pics in other files or PDF, Word,Excell,etc which I create using QuickOffice Pro.
I've tried this on various Android Tablets, and not a single issue with them. You can attach anything. So, it's definately an Apple device thing.
I'll even go further. If using Facebook on an iPad 3, you can post, but cannot delete a post you make whether in desktop view, native FB on iPad or the FB App itself. Yet, on my Droid Razr phone, I can by simply swyping sideways, a black X appears and I delete the post.
It's these quirks, that is leading me to consider selling my iPad 3, and just stick with my 13" MacBook Pro.

Can't send email attachments since upgrade to 10.9.2.

After upgrading to 10.9.2, I can no longer add email attachments (PDF, .ai, .eps, etc.). When I do I get a reply mail from Postmaster (Using Outlook) that says "Undeliverable Mail" due to being in MIME format. I have NO idea what this means, but I had NO issues ever before Tuesday.
This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand
this format, some or all of this message may not be legible.

MacKeeper may well be the root cause of your issues, remove it completely, reboot and try again.

Can't download email attachments

When using my yahoo email account, if I click on an attachment and click on download, nothing happens. The guy at the apple store says the attachment will appear in iBooks but it isnt there. Where are my downloads?

What type of attachment are they e.g. PDF, pictures, documents ? Not all document/attachment types are naturally supported by the iPad, though there may be third-party apps that are capable of opening them. From the manual :
+Open an attached file: Tap the attachment to download it to iPad and then open it. If iPad doesn’t support the format of an attached file, you can see the name of the file but you can’t open it.+
+Open an attached file with a different app: Touch and hold the attachment, then choose an app. If you don’t have any apps that can open the attachment, you can view it, provided it’s a file type that iPad supports.+
+Save an attached photo to your Saved Photos album: Tap the photo, then tap
Save Image+

Open all pages in a PDF and save them as sequential files

I'm trying to make a script that will open all pages in a multi-page PDF and save them as sequential files, but I have had no luck with the simple script in the "Adobe Ilustrator CS5 Reference: JavaScript".
there example to open a PDF to a designated page does not work for me in Illustrator CS 5.
// Opens a PDF file with specified options
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
// Open a file using these preferences
var fileRef = filePath;
if (fileRef != null) {
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
if anyone can get me on the right path it would be appreciated.

Hi DuanesSFK,
you can open a PDF page on this way (tested with CS3 and 5):
//OpenPDFpage2.jsx
var uILevel = userInteractionLevel;
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
// Opens a PDF file with specified options
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
// Open a file using these preferences
//var fileRef = filePath;
var fileRef = File("~/Desktop/YourOwn.pdf");
if (fileRef != null) {
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
app.userInteractionLevel = uILevel;
To open all pages you have to loop through all pages etc.
Easier for you:
Search here in forum for the "open pdf" script (I don't know the exactly name, it was written by CarlosCanto, ) This should always work for you.
Have fun

Why can't I open emails in my inbox that arrived before today - I can open today's messages and I can open earlier emails tha are stored in other folders

Yesterday I had a message that I could not "get mail" because my inbox was full and that I should delete some files or compact. It only had about 20 messages in it but I had ignored suggestions that I compact for a while so I went to the menu and hit compact. Then I could get mail and I could open it while it was in my inbox.
This morning I got mail and I was able to look at it and I deleted quite a lot. A little later (I had restarted my computer in the meantime) I wanted to look at an email in my inbox. It appeared to open but had no content at all. Similarly when I looked at the message at the bottom of the screen it did not show there at all. The only messages in my inbox that I can look at are the two that arrived today.
I am able to open messages that are stored in other folders. But moving a message from the inbox to a folder does not make it able to be opened.
Another odd thing; in the inbox, one message that I can open shows the wrong sender - the sender of a message I had been moving to see if it could be opened if it were stored elsewhere; but the sender is correct when I open the message.
It is all very weird.

This sounds like you do have a corrupted Inbox file.
First of all create a backup of your profile folder.

Then try to repair Inbox.
Right-click Inbox - Properties - Repair Folder

I can open all email attachments except .pdf.
