PDF mail attachments are shown as question mark instead of preview or icon.

When I receive a mail with PDF attachment, I can see paper clip on the header of mail. This is fine. However, Apple Mail does not show as preview or icon. I can see only a box with border and a question mark sign "?" in the middle. If I click the "?" symbol, preview opens the PDF attachment properly.
It is fine for other mail attachment such as .DOC or .JPG. Either I can see preview or as icon.
Is there anybody who knows the solution of this problem?
P.S. I use OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 but problem was existing also with Mavericks.

No, I don't think so. Same attachment is shown properly on the my colleague's Mac who is another recipient for same e-mail. There is something wrong about my Mac.

  • E-Mail attachments are shown as "undefined" since switching to Firefox 7.0.1

    Since I switched to Firefox version 7.0.1, any attachments I add to an e-mail are shown as "undefined". If I look at the "Sent" e-mail, and click on "Attachments", I find them to be correct. This is very confusing when there are multiple attachments as I can't tell which have been attached and which remain to be attached. Firefox is my primary (default) browser. When I checked on Internet Explorer 9.0, the attachments were properly identified, so I know this is a Firefox and not a Verizon problem.

  • Slideshow controls are shown as question marks

    I know since the end of MobileMe the pop up slideshow doesn't work properly.  I'm trying to fix the missing controls.  When you click play slideshow, the slideshow pops up, but at the bottom, the play/pause, etc. controls are question marks.  I've tried to follow Old Toad's tutorial listed here:
    http://www.oldtoadstutorials.net/No.iW14.html
    but I am still having problems.
    I have mulptile sites in iweb that have already been published with slideshows.  So, I need to fix all of them at this point.  I've changed the item that he refers to in the tutorial and uploaded it to the website's server.  I've tried putting in different folders; the scripts folder, the slideshow_files folder, just in the root folder, but it is not working.  What am I missing?  Any thoughts about what I need to try next.  Thanks for your help!

    If you are changing the script in the iWeb package you will need to republish every slideshow from iWeb for the updates to appear in the published version.
    You could modify the local or remote versions of the file outside of iWeb but you would need to do this every time you publish changes to your site. See [2]...

  • I have a question mark instead of a downloads icon

    I can click on the question mark and it gives me the option to open but when I do nothing happens and question mark still there. Please help

    It will be the directory with the 'little house' on it, located in your root Users folder on your hard drive. You should see a folder named 'Downloads' in there:
    See it?

  • Unicode characters are shown as "question marks" in Eclipse console

    I am trying to retrieve Unicode data from Sybase database using jdbc.
    The data are stored in Sybase with unichar and univarchar datatypes.
    Following is the java code tring to run.
    {color:#808080}public class Test
    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception
    CoreServiceSoapBindingStub binding_Core = new CoreServiceSoapBindingStub();
    CoreWSServiceLocator locator_Core = new CoreWSServiceLocator();
    binding_Core = (CoreServiceSoapBindingStub) locator_Core.getCoreService();
    Contact[] con = binding_Core.getContact();
    for(int i=0;i< con.length;++i)
    System.out.println(con.getLastName());
    }{color}
    The result of this code in Eclipse console should be as follow (consists of one English and one Japanese name).
    {color:#808080}Suzuki
    &#37428;&#26408;{color}
    However when I run this, I get the following.
    {color:#808080}Suzuki
    {color}
    The alphabetical characters seem to diplay fine in the console, but foreign characters are not....
    The default character set of the database is ISO-8859-1, but I used unichar and univarchar to store data in unicode thus believe no issue at database side...
    Used jconnect 6.05 (com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver
    ) for the database driver.
    Java files are encoded in UTF-8.
    Console Encoding is UTF-8.
    Is this an issue in database driver?
    Since I set the parameters for character set to UTF-8 in both the database and java files....
    It would be great if someone could give some comments on this issue....
    Thanks a lot.

    It might be better to ask this question on an Eclipse forum. I have a couple of suggestions, but none of them have made the output in my console look entirely correct:
    1. Try to start Eclipse with these parameters: -vmargs -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
    2. Try switching the font settings for the Console under Preferences in Eclipse.

  • Question mark instead of icon in dock

    I'm seeing a question mark instead of the VLC icon in my dock. Does anyone know why?

    The icons in the dock are basically shortcuts to the applications themselves.
    Can you still open VLC through Spotlight or the Applications folder?
    If so, delete the question mark from the dock by dragging it up off the dock and letting it go "poof." Then open VLC, right-click on its icon in the dock, and choose Keep in Dock.

  • Refinement Panel show "file name" values with question mark instead of spaces

    Hi,
    I customized Refinement Panel to refine by file name. In some cases the value (file name) is shown with question mark instead of space. It looks like gibberish and the refine by that value doesn't bring the result.
    Any ideas how to solve?

  • E-mail Attachments are only allowing me to open in e-mail as opposed to PDF, PPT, GIF or any app that is relevant to the attachment.

    E-mail Attachments are only allowing me to open in e-mail as opposed to PDF, PPT, GIF or any app that is relevant to the attachment.

    Meaning if you use the "tap and hold down on the attachment" you are not getting the "Open In" option? Or should we just keep guessing about what might be happening?
    If that is what is happening, deom the home screen .... quit the mail app completely in the recent tray by double tapping the home button to bring up the recents tray - and then tap and hold down on the mail app icon in the recent tray until it wiggles, then tap the red minus sign to quit the app. Restart the iPad and then try the "tap and hold down" on an attachment again.
    If you mean that something else is wrong or happening - share the information.

  • Values are returned as question marks.

    I have set up a UTF-8 database, on my english version of WinXP..
    SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS;
    .. shows this is correct - UTF8
    I have set up NLS_LANG variable in windows, to be "American.America.UTF8"
    Using SQL*Plus worksheet I can update a row in my database to contain chinese characters. I dont know what the chinese means, but I can copy and paste from another application, and the glyphs looks the same in the source and SQL*Plus worksheet.
    I can then select the row ..
    SELECT * FROM THETABLE WHERE THECOLUMN = '{CHINESECHARS}';
    The correct row is returned, but the column is shown with just question marks, instead of the glyphs I expect.
    (This also happens with the web application I am developing which also seems to return qurestion marks. (PHP not JSP))
    Can anyone shed any light on this problem as I am completely stuck.

    Check these notes# 132453.1, 152260.1 & 158577.1 out on metalink also for further good details. This may/may not work for Chinese yet it should steer you
    in the right direction.. It's the combination of the NLS_LANG and Active
    Code page settings on the client as well as the database characterset. I believe you say the database character set is UTF8. That part should be correct. It's then the client side combo's that do the trick. It's trying differing combo's until he desired results are achieved. Having not worked with Chinese I can
    give you an example of what I've experienced...
    These are the following steps I performed to enable the client SQL*Plus (command line and GUI) and SQL*Worksheet to display/input the euro currency symbol correctly for example...
    1) Search from the top of the registry (regedit) for ALL occurrences of NLS_LANG and make the value AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252.
    2) Go to the following registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP
    and change the active code page (ACP) to 1252. If there is an OEMACP entry there change that also to 1252.
    3) Reboot the PC
    To test .. go to DOS and enter at the prompt..
    E:\>chcp
    Active code page: 1252
    If the above message IS NOT 1252 you must have missed editting the registry entry
    explained above. However you can change it for this session by entering
    E:\>chcp 1252
    - < Set font to Lucida Console (in Properties, Font tab) >
    To get the UNICODE characters you want insert into the database do the following
    E:\>charmap
    You will see a display of different characters.
    If you click on advanced view at the lower right corner a search screen comes up. Enter UNICODE for the character set, ALL for group by and EURO for the search for and the euro currency symbol will come up. This is one way how the user can enter this character into the app. You can copy the character in this function as you can see and then you can paste it elsewhere. Copy whatever character you want to test with. My test was with the euro currency symbol.

  • In the new version of Thunderbird it seems impossible to set that attachments are shown as"Read only". It was possible in previous versions. Can anybody help?

    In previous version of Thunderbird it was possible to set that incoming attachments are shown as "Read only". The solution was to set browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit as TRUE. In the latest version, no matter how I set this value,. the attachments ARE NOT shown as Read Only. As I need my attachments to be shown as Read Only, I had to restore older versions of Thunderbird. Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this in the new version of Thunderbird ?

    I don't see a solution on these links. I am not a computer expert, but it was easy to fix in previous versions of Thunderbird. I can't do it now with the latest version, on either Windows 7 or 8.

  • Arabic characters are displaying as question marks in forms 10g

    We have migrated our application from forms 6i to forms 10g and now in forms 10g the arabic characters are displaying as question marks while it displays correctly in the old application using forms 6i. I have already set the character set to AR8MSWIN1256 in the registry, but it didn't help. Somebody please help.

    @ Sarah, Al-Salamu Alikum We Rahmatu Allah we Barakatu,
    Sarah Habibty, why new installation ? In order to select a new suitable character set !!!
    Then creating a new instance from the db is a better alternative since it saves time,effort and another back up of his current db is exist safely if needed for any purposes in the future.
    @Amer,honestly speaking...
    Modifing ur NLS_LANG to > AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
    Works for me in both Arabic and English data in 2 applications.This works in my pc.But it didn't works at my boss pc this can happened don't have any reason for that.!!!!
    i spent lot's of time trying to search but what i had got is that solution i suggested by a friend of mine.
    Now please could you advise me, is it better to create a new instance of database as Amatu Allah has suggested or is it better to change the character set through sql as some others have suggested? Again i suggest to select the short cut way ; to reset the character set through sql after taking a back up from ur data that is currently exist.
    then retest again doing the select and test ur data input and retrieval.
    SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters
    2 where parameter in ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LANGUAGE');watching the output if it works that's fine saving ur time & effort .
    if not working with the correct NLS_CHARACTERSET then use my previous solution.
    Hope this helps...

  • Blue question mark instead of photo

    I sometimes get a blue question mark instead of a photo on my mac book pro.  How do i fix that?

    Hello tomfromridgetown,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    I understand that sometimes when you receive an email it contains a small box with a question mark for the attachment. It sounds like what you may be seeing is a windmill.dat attachment. Please review the attached article for information on what these attachments are and how to avoid them in the future.

  • Blue icon with question mark instead of image in email

    Sometimes I get a blue icon with question mark instead of image in email, when viewing in Apple Mail Program.
    Does anyone know why?????

    I'm asking your thread get redirected to the proper forum. Please read this tip on how to post on Discussions for future threads:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1574700
    Is this issue with Tiger or Leopard? Your profile indicates you have a machine with Tiger, yet your signature of your post says you have Leopard.
    Also, there is no such thing as a Powerbook Pro. Read the text under the screen to tell us exactly which model you have. MacBook Pro is the name given to Macs that are for the pro lineup of notebooks once Apple shifted to the Intel CPU.

  • Question marks instead of graphics

    I'm getting mostly question marks instead of graphics. I use earthlink as my ISP. Any suggestions?

    I'm using Mail 1.3.11. The emails are generally coming from merchants. The mail stays on the earthlink server until it is downloaded onto my wife's 6 yr old iMac. The emails generally look fine there.
    Thanks so much for the response.
