Lockup when opening attachments in Mail v.1.1.1

Has anyone else experienced the iphone locking up when opening email attachments after updating to v1.1.1? I get a blank screen with the spinning icon and have to force reboot. Suggestions? thanks

Here is some info on the problem. Sending plain text instead of rich text is the easiest thing to try.

  • Mail Crashing only when opening Attachments

    I have a friend on the white intel imac, 17" screen, all updated to 10.5.7. Her mail keeps crashing only when opening any email with attachments. I have delete the apple.com stuff and reloaded everything. So that is not the problem. Any other solutions ?

    The upgrade to 10.5.7 results in a new version of Mail (version 3.6). It is possible that the upgrade process has resulted in a problem with Mail. To determine if the problem is machine wide or isolated to your current login, try creating another user account with the same permissions as that which you are currently using. Login to that account, open Mail, set up your email account, send yourself an email with an attachment and see when you open it without Mail crashing.
    If it does crash then the problem is system wide and I recommend that you download the [Mac OS X 10.5.7 Combo Update|http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate] and install that. It is a large file (730Mb).
    If it does not crash then the issue is with the other user account rather than being system wide. A possible solution is to do the following:
    1. Open finder and Move the folder ~/Library/Mail to the desktop
    2. Launch Mail and re-create your email accounts.
    3. Import your old messages via the menu option "File" then "Import Mailboxes".
    4. Select "Mail for Mac OS X", click Continue.
    5. Select the Mail folder from the desktop and navigate to the folder Mailboxes within that folder then click Choose.
    6. You will be presented with a list of pre-selected items to import so click Continue and the import will proceed.
    If that works and you can successfully open and view messages with attachments then you can delete the Mail folder that you moved to the desktop in step 1.

  • Can't open attachments from Mail since downloading Lion...

    I have recently updated to Lion and since then I'm unable to open attachments in my email - either attachments received or documents I've attached to an email I'm composing. The app - Pages, Numbers, etc. - will open, but nothing happens after that.
    When trying to open email attachments the document will open in Preview, but if I select "Open in Pages/Numbers" it gets stalled, as described above.
    My only option seems to be to save the document and then open through the app or Finder, extra steps I'd rather not always have to take.
    Help?

    I'm having the same problem.  I know there's an attachment.  I can see the paper clip in the listing of e-mails, but when I open the e-mail, there's nothing to launch to see the attachment!

  • Can't open attachments from mail as it sticks at "verifying" popup

  • Any way to open attachments via Mail?

    I have my iPhone 4 mail sync with Exchange server over the air. It works great. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to open attachments to email messages (I do have a document viewer for PDF, etc installed). When I view the message, there is nothing to tap on to open/view the attachment.
    In the subject view, I can se that the message has an attachment (paperclip icon). When I forwad the email, the attachment does get forwarded. But how do I VIEW the attachment?

    Duh... I didn't scroll all the way to the end of the message where the icon to open the attachment appears.

  • I cannot open attachments in Mail

    Suddenly, I cannot open any attachments in mail.

    I see it's been sometime since this problem was posted, but in case it's helpful...
    I found a solution to be to goto "View," then, "Message," and then choose "Best Alternative."
    This suddently allowed the attachment to be visible for me. I am not certain why this happens, may be related to Outlook 2011 formats for sending emails, but this is merely conjecture. I tested some emails (both to iCloud and Gmail) with attachments and did not have the same problem.
    Hope this helps!
    Best,

  • Safari not opening in landscape mode when opening links from mail

    Hello,
    Since the update to iOS8 I experience following: when using my iphone in landscape mode, opening links from the default mail app doesn't open Safari in landscape mode. I have to manually tilt the phone to portrait mode and back to get landscape mode.
    When opening Safari manually in landscape mode, it works fine.
    Anybody else experiencing this issue?

    Hey there streatuac,
    It sounds like the Safari app is not automatically switching to landscape when you open a link from the mail app on your phone. I would start by closing all the running apps on your phone first:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • When opening attachments from my email, they are opening in HTML.pdf.  When viewing, they are nothing but symbols. Any ideas?

    When opening an attachment from my suddenlink email, the attachment opens in html.pdf.  When I use my gmail account, the attachment opens fine.
    Any ideas.  Thanks.

    Install the Flex:Player App;  http://itunes.apple.com/app/flex-player/id451024857?alreadyRedirected=1&mt=8
    Then you can open the movies, keep tapping on them and choose Open in Flex:Player.

  • File extensions become corrupted when sending attachments in Mail

    Hi,
    Since I upgraded to Leopard the file extensions on attachments that I send in Mail are corrupted in transit. The problem is not irremediable: .doc may change to .doc00 or .docis or something like that. The recipient can delete the extra characters when saving or opening the attachment, and the file is intact. But this is a bit of a bore, as I have to send attachments all the time. It doesn't matter whether I send from my iMac G5 or my MacBookPro, and it doesn't matter whether the recipient has a Mac or a PC.
    Any collective wisdom out there?
    Many thanks,
    Anna

    Some people have found that not having accented characters or spaces in the file name cures it. The bug has been reported.

  • Word won't open attachments in Mail

    Hi,
    I'm using Mail to get my email via POP. When attachments come with a message, I have problem opening them when they're Word documents. I get the error "The application “Microsoft Word” failed to open the attachment “Chasteen Resume SEPT 2007.doc”. Would you like to save the file to disk?"
    When it's a PDF, and I click on it, Preview automatically opens and opens the attachment without a problem.

    Hi Ernie,
    Yes, if I save them, they open without issue.
    In fact, if I choose "open with" and choose "MS Word" then it opens in Word. However, there are two entries for "MS Word" in that list of available applications -- one works and one doesn't. So it appears that Mail thinks that my MS Word application lives somewhere that it doesn't, but if I manually tell it where Word is, then it is fine.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "Is you copy of Mail located in the Microsoft Office folder (2004?) in the Applications folder?". Both Mail and the MS Office folder are located in the Applications folder. Should I put Mail inside the MS Office folder?
    "In Mail Preferences/General what are your setting regarding the Download folder?"
    It's set to the default "Mail downloads" folder. When I change it to a particular folder (eg., a downloads folder in my Documents folder" that doesn't help.

  • Ipad2 won't open attachments in mail app

    I have an iPad 2 on 5.0.1. I am unable to open photos, docs or PDF files that are sent to me via email. These same files open fine on my iPhone and Mac.
    On the iPad the attachments have an arrow on them. One click on it and a fast wheel spins but nothing opens. A click and hold does nothing.
    What am I missing here?

    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 (Adobe Reader, Goodreader, 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?

  • E50 Problem opening attachments in Mail For Exchan...

    Hi,
    I am helping out a user at our office with a Nokia E50 and we can't manage to open/save attachments from emails.
    If we try we get an error message explaining that there's a problem with the connection. However downloading mail works flawless so there shouldn't be any problems with the connection.
    Other users with other brands / models does not share this issue so there should not be any problems with server.
    The phone is using the latest stable phone software and Mail For Exchange 1.5.0.
    Any suggestions?
    /Danny

    Not sure why you can't add attachments other than by dragging onto a new Mail window, but you might want to make sure that you have Windows-Friendly Attachments selected in Mail's Edit menu. Also, clicking on the attachment in the body of the email and selecting 'view as icon' sometimes helps recipients receive the attachment.
    On a general note, sometimes Mail's handling of attachments is lacking, in my experience - especially when sending them to PC-users. Most users don't seem to have a problem but some do. The only way I have managed to ensure that Mail handles all attachments as hoped and ensure that recipients have no problems with them is to install the paid for plugin called Attachment Tamer. You can run it in demo mode to test it before deciding to buy: http://lokiware.info/
    (I've no connection with Lokiware, just happy to recommend their software which I have used for some years).

  • Error message when opening iTunes and Mail

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac Book.
    Since the recent 'hack' reports, I subsequently changed my Apple Password.
    Since then, when I open iTunes I get the error message:
    "You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with podcsts. Do you want to sunc these podcast subscriptions and stations with <my e-mail address>?
    If you chose to sync then these podcasts and stations will be merged with any that have been syncing on other devices or computers.""
    If I click the highlighted blue 'Sync' button, it does sync, but it's frustrating that I always get the error message. Why is this happening?
    Also, when trying to use Gmail, I now get the error message:
    "Enter Password for Account GMail.
    Enter the password for user <my g-mail address> on POP server imap.gmail.com"
    Neither my old or new password allows me to use Mail. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Can't open attachments in mail, all I can do is save files.

    Before I updated to ios5, I was able to open mail attachments by choosing an app. Now all I can do is save the file. If I use gmail directly, I can use an app to view an avi file so it's not the app as I had previously thought. Any suggestions?

    annhadz wrote:
    I'm trying to open avi files with either goodplayer or oplayer. I can open them with oplayer if I get my email on the web instead of in mail which makes me think the issue is with mail.
    That would be a good guess, and it will probably be addressed in an upcoming update, but it sounds like you are getting along OK for now
