Just since the last update I can't open attachments. No matter which opener I choose, all I get is gabble. What am I doing wrong?

I can't open text attachments. Even when I use the 'free document viewer' program all I get is a pattern of letters, not clear text. I've tried every program in the choices list, which doesn't include Adobe or Word, both of which are on my computer.
I believe this problem started after the last Mozilla update, but I'm not sure. I receive messages in my Mail.com account on a cycle towards the end of the month, and this cropped up since the end of last month.

You need iTunes version 11 for iOS 7.
iTunes version 11 requires OS X 10.6.8 or later...
Click on the Apple icon.. Top left in Finder...
 > About this Mac > Version...what does it say?

Since the last update I can't get to files that I have up loaded to ITunes on my IPad in pages

The people trying to help are just other users like yourself & respond as they can & have the knowledge. I saw your post yesterday, but I was traveling & couldn't answer.
It is not at all clear what you have tried. Launch Pages on your iPad & tap the "+" to get the options to add documents then tap the iTunes icon. If you have added any Pages documents to iTunes you can then tap on it in the next screen to add it to Pages.

I've recently noticed that since the last upgrade any links to pdf files on websited no longer work. All I get is a blank white page or a blank black page when I click on these links. Can I fix this?

HT5706 How do I update my software on my Apple TV if the television isn't supporting my ATV anymore since the last update. Can I update through iTunes?

Since I last updated ATV my own tv no longer supports my ATV. On my HDMI channel it is picking up different Hz levels ranging from 18 Hz to 180 Hz when ATV is plugged in. A few times some white lines have appeared on the screen as though it is trying to connect. I have tested a different HDMI chord and that didn't have any effect and I've reset my Wi-if router. My tv still supports my bluray DVD player through the HDMI port. I want to update my ATV as I think that will fix the problem, but I can't see the menu on the tv to do so. Is there any way I can do this via iTunes or iPad?

What TV are you using? Did you try switching ports?
Yes, you can connect to iTunes via micro usb. It will restore the system and install the latest firmware.

My Galaxy S4 continues to crash, have no cell signal or internet signal since the last update. Can someone please help? I didn't have this problem until this last update and it is really aggravating!

Since this last update, something has happened to not only my phone, but to my daughters phone as well. We are constantly having to restart our phone and have no cell coverage or internet access in places we used to have no problems at all. This is very aggravating and I am ready to ditch the phone for something else! Please help!

I have a S3 and this is driving me crazy. I have taken the battery out (left out for 2 hours in dark place inside original box, SIM card out, hard reset, soft reset, and anything else I could think of including going back to factory settings.
My phone will turn off in the middle of something I am doing. No matter what it is. I still get signal and am able to talk to people. But I use my phone for work and it is starting to get annoying when you have to re-start the email you were typing because your phone turned off and a draft was not saved.
This is my replacement phone that I got back in March/April of this year. I have an otter box for it and had no problems with the other phone until I dropped it (no otter box).
Not to mention my battery will say its like at 80% in the middle of taking a picture and then it wont turn on until I have connected to a charger because it wont turn on without it because from the time I wanted to take the picture to when I turn it on, I lost 75% of my battery.
Or if I get lucky and it will turn on, I have lost half of my battery charge no what percentage it is.
Please help me fix this as I need a working phone and it is not great having to carry a portable charger with me at all times.

Ever since the last update I can't seem to open up the list of ''Recently Closed Windows'', is there anybody that can help me with that?

Yesterday my Firefox browser was updated without me even noticing it. I closed the only 2 windows that were open, both having a bunch of tabs, because I turned off my PC. Today I opened up Firefox, clicked ''Restore previous session'' which opened up one of these 2 windows. But when I wanted to access the list of ''Recently Closed Windows'' it didn't open. It only shows a small square as if it's there, but it doesn't show anything. I can open up ''Recently Closed Tabs'' but that doesn't help me. I now only have 1 window, but the other one had some important tabs opened in it as well, so I could really use some help.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear about this problem and for the delay in getting back to you.
Firefox stores your open windows and tabs in a file named sessionstore.js in your currently active settings folder. Could you check that folder and back up all of the sessionstore files as the first step.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
If you find a file named sessionstore but not sessionstore.js, Windows may be hiding file extensions from you. To work with files as accurately as possible, I suggest unhiding them. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
''(In Windows 8.1, you should be able to access the Folder Options dialog by tapping the Alt key to show the menu bar, then using the Tools menu. Click to the View menu and scan down for the hidden files/folders option.)''
Assuming you still have a sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file that would have your pre-update session, check out these threads for different ways to rescue the lost URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:
* Using Firefox's Browser Console (formerly known as Error Console): https://support.mozilla.org/questions/969046#answer-471950
* Using Firefox developer tool "Scratchpad": http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=622036&start=60&p=12098147#p12098147

Since the last update I can't open iPhoto at all.

Ever since I downloaded the new software update available I haven't been able to open my iPhoto at all. It looks like it's opening but then it says it's updating and will sit there for hours doing nothing at all. I'm a photographer and can't take the chance of losing what I have in there. Please help!

1 - the solution to not losing your photos is agood backup routine
2 - teh most likely solution to your current problem is to quite iPhoto (force quit if necessary) and Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

Since the last update I can no longer connect remotely to an SSL VPN system

I connect to work remotely (SSL VPN site, whatever that means), and was always able to do so successfully until this week. I can reach the log-in site, my password is accepted, but then when I click "Connect", I am left forever on the screen that says, "Launching Connection, please wait..."

Hello jmichel216,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to any Wi-Fi network after updating your iOS version. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

Restart your iOS device.
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:

I have a Samsung wireless printer. For some reason, my computer uses Firefox to connect wirelessly to this printer. Since the last update, I can't print to my Samsung wireless printer. Why?

Firefox tries to access the local address of the printer and then comes back with an error message that it is unable to locate it.

As you can see here, Mountain Lion does not directly support that model of printer:

I have an iPhone 5. always before when i called someone..or they called me the picture of them would take up the whole screen. I LOVED it! I could see it. Since the last update it is just a little "bubble" in the upper right hand corner. Can i change

Hi I have an IPhone 5. Always before when I called someone...or they called and I had a pic set up for them in my contact list..... it would pop up the full size of the screen. I LOVED it! I could actually see it. Now...since the last update...or maybe the one b4 that.... The pic is just a little bubble that floats to the upper right hand corner. Does anyone know if there is a way I can get that full size pic back?

I'm sorry, there is no way to change that. It is a change with the newer iOS 7. You can provide feedback to Apple, like a large group of others have that are disappointed in this at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :
hub >> overflow (bottom right button) >> Settings >> Display and actions >> Return to Default View When Idle >> OFF

Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

Since the last update my i tunes wont launch it just give error message Error 7 (Windows error 127) how do i fix it please?

Like many others I have been reading about online I am having the same error. I tried the fix listed above and simply wasted 30 minutes of my time. I scheduled a time for Apple to call and help me through this and their solution was for me to call Microsoft for some reason?!! iTunes made me upgrade then stopped working - I really don't see how this is a Microsoft problem??
Like Darren if a solution is not found quickly I will also have to sell my phone as the only way to get videos and music on my phone is through the software that you made me upgrade, broke and won't help me fix.

Since the last update, every time I open "Numbers" I get a notice that a font is missing. How can I stop seeing this warning?

Since the last update for "numbers", everytime I open numbers I get a notice that a font is missing. I don't care that it's missing and I would like to not see that message. How can I get rid of it?

A document you had open at the time you quit Numbers has a font that you do not have (probably Calibri). You can change the font to one you have OR close the file before you quit Numbers. Numbers will open files you had open when you quit.
Looks like:
The other thing you can do is check the box "Close windows when quitting an application" in "System Preferences > General"

Just since the last update I can't open attachments. No matter which opener I choose, all I get is gabble. What am I doing wrong?
