I can't open jpegs attached to my email.  What can I do?

I can't open jpegs attached to my email.  Error messages say "The file “CH02_12_07_08_07_06_01.jpg” could not be opened." and "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."  What can I do?

I'm using Mac Mail as my email client.  I've tried to open it directly from the attachment in the email, and also saving it to my download folder to open seperately.  It will open on a PC with no issue.
Background: The jpg comes from a remote cameral systems I've set up.  Any movement that is detected sends me an email notification and a jpg image of the motion from the camera
I've attached a copy of the jpg file in question.

    Tap on the open attachment and then a blue "Done" button should appear in the upper left corner of the screen. Tap "Done" and you will close the attachment and return to the mail app and the email message that was open on the screen.

  • TS1506 I can't open pdf attachements in my email from outlook on my iphone

    How do I open pdf attachments in my email on my iphone

    here is what is supposed to happen...
    an e mail attachment is usually shown as a icon at the end of the e mail.  If you touch it, and if it is a file type that the pad can handle in preview, it opens and you can read it.  and example would be a word document.
    If you want to do something besides read the attachment, you need an app.  If you touch and hold the attachment you will ge a prompt called "open in", and any apps you have that can deal with that file type will ber lsited, you pick the one you want to use.
    Sometimes there is no app on your machine to open a particular file type.  You can go to the app store, and search for that file extension, and frequently find an app that will deal with it.  Windows .wmv files are an example.
    Lastly, there are some file types that the pad simply will not open, and there are no apps to be had either.  Flash attaments, i believe the extension is swx, cannot work on the pad.
    so - when you get an e mail with an attachment - what happens when you touch it?

  • I upgraded to OS X mountain lion, but now can't open any of my office documents - what can i do?

    Can anyone help me here?  I had no idea that my version of office would become inaccessible once I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  What do I need to do to gain access to these important documents?

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Adobe premiere elements 13 can not open avi on my Mac. What can I do?

    I just bought adobe premiere elements 13. I hoped that it would help to open an avi on my brand new Mac, which iMovie of course did not open. (That's why I spend the money on premiere!) I got the file from a disc, and I don't know what kind of camera took the pictures. Premiere 13 should open AVI's. What is wrong?

    franks
    Premiere Elements 13 Mac should be an .avi import only. But, avi is just a file extension (container/wrapper format), which wraps the video and audio compressions of the file.
    Although the program might support a particular video compression and a particular file extension (container/wrapper format), it may not support the combination of a particular combination of video compression with file extension for a file.
    What are the properties (video compression et al) of your video file with the file extension of .avi?

  • HT201272 i have downloaded Breaking Bad in itunes but can't open and watch any episodes. What can I do?

    i would like to watch breaking bad. It says downloading 4 hrs when done. It starts to download again! Why?

    Ok - success!!!  The songs are on my iPhone now!
    What I did....first I went in iTunes on my Mac and knocked the stars back to 1 star so they they would fall off my top rated.  I synced again with the iPhone.  No change yet.
    Then I went back into iTunes on the Mac and manually DELETED the songs and moved them all to the trash.  I emptied the trash.  Then I synced again with the iPhone.
    Then I just ripped the CD again in iTunes, then five-starred each song, so they went right into my Top Rated on the Mac.  Then one more sync with the iPhone and voila!  There they are!  Phew!  This was weird, and soooooo un-Apple like....but it's cool, and it's all good now.
    Cheers!!

  • Can't open Jpeg files in email

    I just purchased a Samsung Continum.  I love it but I am unable to open jpeg files in my emails.  Am I missing something?

    Just keep in mind, downloading has limitations. The maximum file size for picture / videos/attachments can vary from device to device. The file size limitation is based on the megapixels of the camera on the device. The maximum file size that can be sent from an email to a device is 3 MB. When any message over 350 KB is sent to the device, the file is reduced in size to be under 350 KB prior to delivery. If a device sends a 500 KB file to a device with a lower file size limit the file will be reduced to a file size acceptable by the receiving device.. A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient. 
    Listed below are steps to download attachments
    From a home screen, select Applications.
    Select Gmail.
    Select an email message.
    View the email message. If the email message has an attachment (e.g. jpg, gif, bmp, etc.) select one of the following attachment options:
     An installed application is required to download or preview some attachment types. 
    --Download
    Downloads the attachment to the SD card.
    --Preview
    Previews the attachment within the viewed email.

    Hello Mats in Sweden!
    I'm from Austria, not so far away! The file that you've received seems to be a Windows Media File and you may need a special software for your iPad to be able to open it. I've found something HERE.
    If you open this link on your iPad it should take you to the App Store, resp. open it. The price for this app is 1,59 €.

  • Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

    Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
    When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
    checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
    From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
    is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
    I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
    I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
    I will appreciate your assistance.

    Hi,
    Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
