I cant open email attachments since ios5 update

Since updating to ios5 I cant open email attachments, (word, excel or pdfs)- help please!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Cant receive/send MMS since IOS5 update.HELP :(

Just recently updated my Iphone 4 to IOS 5. But now I can receive or send mms to non-Iphone mobiles. Have resetted Iphone, turned Off, pressed Home&Power button together. NOTHING! My iphone is not Jailbroken, just want to send and receive mms messages.
Was able to send before the update. Am not happy
Im with Optus Prepaid if that matters.
Frustrated

Also tried the sending MMS with no WiFi and on 3G....nope. ddnt work. MMS Tab is on in Settings too....So can you help?

Hi J,
Just had the same problem myself.
Ended up giving in and called OPTUS.
I had to go to settings, general, down to reset, reset network settings, enter code.
Then go back to settings, carrier, turn automatic off, it will search for other carriers, (may take a while), then select a different carrier than yours, let it put a tick next to that carrier, then select your original carrier (may take awhile again), then when tick next to your carrier, turn automatic back on.
Test and see if you can send yourself an MMS. (always takes a while to go thorugh).
If that works, pick a friend and try to send MMS to them.
It appears to be a resetting requirement since the upgrade. Hope its not necessary every upgrade.
I am a happy girl, now it works.
Let me know if it works for you...Fingers crossed.

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

After my OS update I can no longer open email attachments. What could be the issue??

After my latest OS update I can no longer open email attachments. What might be in the issue??

Quit Mail and restart.
Select each of your mailboxes and select Rebuild under the Mailboxes menu.
If those don't help, then reinstall Yosemite:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

After update I am no longer able to open email attachments by just clicking on the attachment. I now have to click control and then click open linked file. How can I open attachments by simply clicking on them?

Im losing will to live! iphone3gs not being recognised anymore in itunes or iphoto via usb since IOS5 update

Im really really p'd off with this!!!!!
Have had my 3GS for 2 years and it has always been recognised in Itunes and iphoto when plugged into my macbook pro (10.6.8) with the usb. Now since IOS5 update it intermittidely recognised it, now it doesnt at all, I plug it in it beeps then nothing, I have tried everything in all the tech services advice. Last week it did finally recognise it and I had time to switch off the wifi syncing which I now realise was a mistake as now I cant sync it at all. I have uninstalled itunes, reinstalled itunes. Been here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540 tried it nothing, tried everything, swearing at the devices is not working, thinking about throwing through a window to see if that helps!
Seriously I need to sync and get all the photos off from past 2 months, why is this not working anymore? Is it a problem with IOS5 10.6.8 snowleopard and 3GS combo?
Can anyone suggest how I get it working again please!!!

I have experienced everything you have and more pixel ate it.
My last sync was around Dec. 14 and have been unable to do so until yesterday. My PC is now freezing, itunes does not want to open and it now sees the iPone as a camera but not recognized in iTunes.
I have tired addition to re-installing iTunes 4 different times: tried to install an older version and rebuilt a compatible library file, deleted and re-built current library versions, started entire computer in safe mode, disabled add-ons, ran a registry fix program, ran a Win-Fix program, done a system restore 2x, re-authorized the iPhone more than twice, turned iCloud off to try sync via USB, ensured I had an 'enhanced' usb port needed for OS5, that I can recount!
My PC was working perfectly until I was able to sync yesterday and it is now back to it sick state. I have no idea why syncing would create such havoc and I am now back to the same state I was in Dec. 14.
What good is a smartphone if Apple isn't smart enough to push out a fix!!??
I replaced my android because my contacts and calendar are my life and now I can neither.

Opening email attachments in Word

Hi
I want to buy the Curve 8520. I am new to blackberries, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Will i be able to open email attachments that are word docs? Or will i need to buy a software product to facilitate this?
I just bought another phone and was told in the shop it would open Word docs - which it doesn't!
With the blackberry, i don't want to sign up to a contract to then find i can't open Word Docs
Thanks in advance

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I cannot say 100% what happens at this moment and with every carrier/reseller, but normally BB's come pre-installed with the Standard Edition of Desktop-To-Go, which includes an app to render Word docs. Check with your seller and see if that app is included.
Good luck!

Opening email attachments created by microsoft

first week with ibook going smooth but minor problem can't open email attachments created by microsoft word or excel, any suggestions would help

camryn,
Since your iBook is new you may have a trial version of Pages and Office 2004. It may have also come with AppleWorks.
Look in your Applications folder.
If you have any of these programs control click on the attachment and >open with, Navigate to said program.
Pages does agood job of opening Word files, AppleWorks is IMHO not so good. I'm not sure about the Excel files, maybe someone else can offer more on that.
You can go here to check other alterntives:

Pages has stopped opening email attachments. No changes were made from previous work where it functioned correctly. Suggestions?

Pages stopped opening email attachments. No changes have been made in the setup. It worked fine for a few weeks but not will not open any email attachments from any of my accounts. Suggestions?

I do not believe there is a way to have a photo in iPhoto auto update in a Pages document. This sounds like LinkBack which is being developed by Omni Group amongst others. I always thought that this seemed like a good system. I don't think Apple often take other people's systems on board like this one. Updating an Omnigraffle image in the same way would be excellent too.
I agree that this would be a useful feature sometimes. I may not always be desired behaviour so making it easy with a contextual menu would be good though.
If this is something you want to see then submit it to Pages feedback. You never know…

Why does my iphone not open email attachments?

Iphone 4S IOS6.1.3 has stopped letting me open email attachments such as Word, Exel and PDF. Instead it throws up a dialogue asking me to open it in another application (like 'Mail' ironically). Other Word docs present themselves as 'winmail.dat' format attachments. what the **** is going on? I need the iphone to read office attachments like it used to. I have 'reset' iphone using power and home buttons. Made no difference.
Anyone know the answer?

It could be for any number of reasons. Since you do not identify the computer OS you use, here is information for both.

HT2523 My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

No, TextEdit cannot read those. You will need to convert them to .doc files first:
Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be able to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
Go to this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2'
This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.
Update: This link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976831 takes you to a newer version 1.1.3 (released Nov 10, 2009).

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!
How can I open attachments in Pages?
Thank you,
Prea

according to MS KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061
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.

I can't open email attachments on my ipad that have an arrow on them. Those with a W open just fine. Also can't open jpeg files-- they also have an arrow on them. Any ideas?

Hi, I can't open email attachments that have an arrow on them. Attachments with a W (windows) open just fine. I have an ipad 3. Thanks for any ideas.

Attachments that show as a bold downward pointing arrow in a gray rectangle in a dotted box have not yet been downloaded to your phone (usually because they are large). Tapping such an icon should download the attachment if you are connected to the internet and your mail server is reachable. Once downloaded, they should appear as normal (which would depend on the attachment type).
This is the "Using iPhone" forum, so I said phone, but the same applies on an iPad.

Can't see, quickview or open email attachments...

iPad 2-I can receive emails fine, but cannot see, quickview or open email attachments. I've been sent PDFs and can see a paper clip icon in email list view, but no PDF icon in the email.
Why?
Thanks.

How about something really crazy and unheard of?
I have two email accounts with Google Mail. Both are the only ones set up in the Mail app inside my iPad2. One would load everything: .jpeg, .docx, .pdf, and everything. The other would not.
I tried hard reset multiple times, deleting both email accounts and hard resetting. I cut all processes using SBSettings and killed all processes related to mail. So I have nothing running now, and I deleted all of the readers, Doc to Go, Quick Office, and other apps I had added.
Now I have nothing running and no apps installed.
Then I set up mail again from the bottom, as if the iPad came in the mail today. One gmail account still automatically opens and previews .jpg attachments, and show .doc, .pdf attachments with their respective icons. THE OTHER GMAIL ACCOUNT IN THE SAME iPAD MAIL APP DOES NOT OPEN THE SAME MESSAGES I HAVE FORWARDED TO BOTH. I would see an arrow pointed down in the icon inside that "faulty" mail account, and the name of the attachment below the icon. I have pressed my finger a gadzillion times on those icons, only to see the spinning wheel briefly and nothing. Holding them down would do nothing, and i can't open in other apps.
The wackiest thing is... when I hit forward (by tapping the curved arrow at the top), I get a drop-down choice list: "INCLUDE" and "DON'T INCLUDE" attachments. When I tap on INCLUDE, .jpg files immediately load and show in the reply message, only two of four .pdfs load and open, but no .docx attachments would.
How would we be supposed to troubleshoot or fix something like this?
