Ipad wont open attachments after update

After update my ipad wont open attachments ie word and excel. It did prior to the update. Is there a setting I am missing or have to adjust.

I have the same problem - only it is intermittent. Today both my mobleme and gmail accounts on my iPad received emails with a .doc attachment and showed it as a mime file with 0 bites. My iMac received the .doc account. But, at other times, I've not had this problem. The inconsistency is going to drive me to pound the iPad to bits with a hammer because I bought it to substitute for a laptop when traveling for work, so if I can't rely on it to receive emails, it is worthless to me.
I've read through 20 pages of discussions and so far, this is the first reference to the issue I'm having.

Getting two errors when opening attachments after updating to latest version of Thunderbird. First one is exception "cannot call openModalWindw on a hidden win

After the last Thunderbird update 24.4.0, attachments no longer open. Attempt to open attachment flashes a message quickly but not long enough to read. I get the following errors in the error log with every attempt to open a document like word.
[Exception... "Cannot call openModalWindow on a hidden window" nresult: ox80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js::openModalWindow::line 382" data: no]
resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js
The second error is
TypeError: this._taskbar is null
resource://gre/modules/DownloadTaskbarProgress.jsm
Under tools I have Word docs set to open with Microsoft Word. What are these errors and why can't I no longer open Word documents?
In addition I also receive multiple warnings at the same time such as Unknown property 'mso-style-type'. Declaration dropped.
{mso-style-type:export-only;
Expected '{' to begin declaration block but found 'WordSection1'.
@page WordSection1

What happens when you save the attachment to disk and open it with Word?

Why can't I open attachments after updating Adobe reader to Adobe 11?

I get "unknown error" when Thunderbird attempts to save an attachment, and therefore won't open.

Ipad air wont turn on after update today?

ipad wont turn on after update today. cannot do a hard reset either...
tried holding the power and home at the same time, still won't turn on suggestions?

How long did you hold the power and home buttons? You need to do that for about 30 seconds, sometimes even more before the apple logo appears.

Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.

Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update. iTunes says "can't allocate a resource"

I had the same problem after updating to iOS 7 today. I did follow the advice on another site, but additionally rebooted my iMac. Worked after that.
Follow these steps to reset the Lockdown folder:
Disconnect all iOS devices from your computer and quit iTunes.
From the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.
Type the following and then press Return:
/var/db/lockdown.
The Finder window should display one or more files with long alphanumeric file names.
In the Finder, choose Edit > Select all. Then, choose File > Move to Trash. Enter an administrator password if prompted.
Note: Do not delete the Lockdown folder itself. Delete only the files contained inside the Lockdown folder.
Reconnect your iOS device and open iTunes
My Additional step: reboot the Mac. Your iPad should give the first indication that it has worked by asking you to "trust this computer" or some such. Agree. Then iTunes should have reopened with your iPad showing and syncing.

The front camera of my iPad 3 doesnt work after updated ios7

The front camera of my iPad 3 doesnt work after updated ios7

Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If neither fix it then you could try contacting Apple.

First off, i think it's sad that i have to use my non apple device to post this question... Why has my iPad become absolutely useless after updating to iOS 8.1? I am unable to use my mini because it crashes, slow performance, major battery drain.

Restore iPad to Factory Default; do not restore from backup. It may be the cause of the problem.

My iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Wont open, then after a while a message pops up

i click on itunes and it wont open,but after a while a message pops up that says that itunes needs to shut down, i have tried reinstalling itunes and the same thing keeps on happening. please help, i am dying for some new music.
P.S. My audio card wont work, but my speakers still do. Do you know anything about that? thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Screen wont tilt anymore after updated to iso7, cant play games anymore

Help my screen wont tilt anymore after updated to iso7. When playing a game the person wont move when i tilt to left or right. ive unlocked the portrait and still wont work.
Nothing tilts when i trun phone side ways. any help would be great

Maybe, maybe not. Most games now require an Intel processor, but:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Any ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slow

Any ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slowAny ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slow

I found the reason why our iPads are slow after iOS 5!!!!!!!
What you need to do is this:
1) launch settings, go to mail contacts and calendars, go to fetch new data, advanced, and set iCloud to fetch.
2) go back and set an interval of when to fetch. Mine is set for thirty minutes.
3) make sure on top push is still on, that means that all your emails will still be pushed, but all the iCloud sync (contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks) will happen at the interval you choose.
Restart the device. Your performance should be 10x faster! No more keyboard lag, nothing! Doing this puts less stress on the A4 chip, which we know we need every bit we can get with it now!!!
Optional:
1) in the settings, go to safari.
2) clear all history and cookies/data
3) enable private browsing. One of the biggest reasons why devices are slow is because it keeps all the history and cookies in the RAM. You need more RAM to make things faster. By turning on private browsing, it never records it!
