I use gmail on my ipad. Why can't I open any attachments? Not word files, not photos, nothing. Thanks

I use g-mail on my ipad. I have no trouble receiving mail, but I cannot open any attachments of any kind. Why?

For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email

    Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email.  I did not have this problem before

    What is your operating system?
    What is your email client?
    What is your Reader version?
    What exactly means "can't"?
    Does this happen for any attachments, or just PDF files?

    Why can't I open any PDF files ?

    I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1.  After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window.  Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window.  What next steps should I take?  Thanks.

    I can no longer open any attachments that are sent to me. I click on and get cannot preview (but have had this for ages). I am clicking on download and nothing happens. It does not download. I clicked to install a new version after updating and clicking repair. But still the attachments won't open including invoices I have received today. It is all attachments not just pdfs.

    Then most likely it is not caused by Adobe Reader.
    Anyway, perhaps someone has some idea, if you give us some details: operating system, browser, email client, ...

  • Why can't I open a PDF in Word?  I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011

    Why can't I open a PDF document in Word.  I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011 installed because I have to email PDF and word documents to my clients.  Please help. 
    I currently have been viewing them in Preview.  Is that the only way? 

    Word is a text processor, not a PDF viewer. You can embed a PDF document in a Word document, but that's pretty much it. Besides Preview there are numerous third-party applications that can also view PDFs such as Adobe Reader.

  • Why can't I open email attachments in Firefox?

    I can open my e-mail attachments if I'm in Internet Explorer but I cannot open email attachments if I'm using Firefox. Why?

    I've been on here for hours trying to figure out where the directions are for this - there's never an answer but finally found it. Go to Tools, Options, Applications and then Help. That's where the instructions are for Firefox File Handling - it helped me alot, although I still like the way IE opens attachments better. I am getting so I really like Firefox though, especially how incredibly fast it is. :)

  • After up grading to Adobe Reader XI why can't I open any PDF files?

    I am running windows vista and had been using Adobe Reader 8 - when I upgraded,  can not open any PDF files. When I attempt to open a PDF file, I receive the following messages:
    Update available
    Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
    after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
    Sorry, an error has occurred
    This application requires an update to Adobe AIR but downloading that update was not successful.
    I have uninttalled all of my Adobe freeware & reinstalled statring with "adobe AIR" then "adobe Reader" and then attempted to opne a PDF file only to see the same  message
    Update available
    Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
    Agein after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.

    Thank you Pat,
    I have already been there done that. I first  Un-installed all of my adobe freeware (reader, flash player, air. etc) then started reinstalling. First I reinstalled reader (latest version Reader X), same error messages. added AIR (latest version not listed - Last updated April 1st, 2012 -
    maybe that should tell me something), same error messages. I un-installed these two and reinstalled AdobeFlash Player,Adobe Shockwave Player,&Adobe Media Player, verifying that each worked after each reinstall of the next program everything was OK until I put Reader back on (NOTE: I dug all the way back to version 8 & still had the problem). for some unknown reason I finally right clicked on a PDF file on my desk top & was greeted with a the drop menu & he option of "open with" for fun I clicked on the "open with" & found that I had two options the first was a white Icon with the Stylized A and labeled Acrobat.com the second was the normal red Icon we all know & live
    when I reset the default to the normal red Icon everything began to work just as I have always had adobe reader work. Now I have no clue how or when I picked up the "Acrobat.com" program even worse it does not show up under programs on the control panel. When I have a few moments this evening, I will run a search for "Acrobat.com" & hopefully be able to remove it from my computer.
    Bottom line I don't know how I got the program which seems to have caused the breakdown of adobe reader but by resetting the default program to open PDF files it is now working as it should
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Sincerely,

  • Why can't close open multiple docs in Word 2010 in multiple windows while having the option to close them out while keeping Word open?

    End User of mine is wanting to open multiple docs in Word 2010.....first initial glance I thought it was a PICNIC issue. But when addressing it she has it set up to NOT "Show all windows in the taskbar" that option is unchecked so that way she
    can close out docs in Word and not actually close Word. But with unchecking that box it only stacks the docs it won't display them in mutliple windows. This is not the case with Excel as she has the option enabled to "Show all windows in the taskbar"
    but yet the enduser still has the option to close out the spreadsheet and keep Excel open. Is there anyway to keep that second smaller x in Word to close out the docs but yet open in multiple windows like Excel does?
    Please advise!
    Thank you and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi VyDrix13,
    What will happen if you check the option of “Show all windows in the taskbar”?
    If you want to closing document and keep Word open, the alternative is to click File > Close, right there under Open and Save.
    You also can add the Close button to the Quick Access Toolbar.
    If there is anything that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

  • Why can't I open any downloads?

    I've tried everything that I've seen people suggest but, nothing works. I went to about:config and changed it to false. I came up with the same problems. I even cleared firefox history and other things. I really need help because what ever I do firefox won't let me download anything

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why can't I open any pdf files with any version of Adobe Reader after I upgraded?

    Upgraded Adobe Reader not too long ago and after then it stopped opening pdf files. I had an old version of Adobe Acrobat and that opened the file no problem. I tried to downgrade Adobe Reader, but that didn't fix the problem.
    Just tried to open Adobe Reader by itself without any files and it still crashed.
    FYI – I’m using Windows 7 (Microsoft 2013)

    It's not a good idea to have both Acrobat and Reader unless they're both of the same version number (like X or XI). Such a situation can cause all kinds of conflicts and crashes, as you've seen. Also, if you have an old version of Acrobat it's might not be compatible with your OS any more.

  • Why can't I open any of my app from the app store?

    I can't open none of my apps

    Did you already try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device again:

  • Why can't I open some of my word documents on my Mac?

    I just tried to open up a document in Microsoft Word on my MacBook Pro (I have Microsoft Office 2011 for Macs) and a message popped up saying "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I was working on this file yesterday afternoon and needed to edit it further for a job interview. It is saved as a docx, and similar files are opening just fine. All PDFs created through Word are opening as well without issues. I have tired both resetting and shutting down my computer; neither remedied the situation. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get these files opened? I am not sure if I should bring my Mac into the Genius Bar or uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Office. Thanks!

    I don't think that you can uninstall Word alone, you have to remove all of Office (but I could be wrong)
    Removing Office requires several steps, here is a Microsoft page on how to do it.
    But first, try a Safe Boot (hold the shift key while booting) it may help.
