Iphone4S email attachment and jpeg problem - Cant open

Hello,
I hope someone can help me as I'm a bit rubbish and the problem is driving me nuts! I've tried searching the support forums but I can't find an answer.
For some reason, I'm unable to open email attachments or RTF files and even Jpegs that are sent to me on my hotmail. I always used to be able to on my 3GS but now it just says unable to open file?
Is there some way of sorting this does anyone know or is anyone else having problems or maybe I have to tweak something on the settings? ( told you I was rubbish)
Any help and advice would be brilliant!
Thank you.
PS.
I have tried forwarding the same jpeg to my new icloud email on my iphone and can open it and view it no problem, so maybe it's a homail thing? I don't understand...!

When that happens to me I have to do a hard reset (depress both Power/Sleep and Home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. When screen activity stops depress these some two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. The restores the normal iPad function till it happens again.

Mac won't open some files MasterPlan.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.

The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded.)

Using Maverick, error message: Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Receiving error message using current Maverick version: "Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).". Is fix the same as on previous OS versions?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 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.

What is your operating system? Reader version?
Saved from where? What is the file size of the saved document?

Hi there, if there is text in the body of the email it will print automatically when sent to an ePrint email address. The only way to just have the attachment print is for there to be no text in the email body.
Hope that helps answer your question.

What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

As Retired Engineer indicated, you will need to install Snow Leopard first. After you install Snow Leopard, you need to go into Software Update and perform the updates. 10.6.6 will install the App Store. You should continue to update to 10.6.8 before purchasing and installing Lion from the App Store.
Be sure your machine meets the minimum requirements. Basically, any Mac with a Core 2 Duo processor or later and at least 2GB of RAM (but 4 is highly recommended). If you have a first generation MacBook Pro with a Core Duo, you will not be able to upgrade to Lion.

I just bought adobe pdf pack and now I cant open any of my jpeg pictures they show as adobe files

wtf i just bought adobe pdf pack and now cant open any of my pictures...i get a pop up in adobe that teh file is corrupted...how do i get rid of this program and get my jpegs back t jpegs?

In general below is the way to change the default program Windows to open JPEG files or other file type:
1. From "Start" > "Default Programs"
2. Select "Associate file type or protocol with a program"
3. Select "jpeg' from Name column
You can change the setting to other program by clicking "Change Program" button at top right corner.
