Quicktime stopped playing attachments from email

When I first got my iPhone 4S, I used to be able to download attachments from them, like videos and such. I would scroll down to the bottom of the email, click the attached file, once completed I would click the attachment again and it would start playing the video. For some reason now, when I click on the attachment after it has downloaded, it goes to a new screen where it shows the title of the video but doesn't play the video. All it shows is a black screen with the title on top. At first I thought it was just the new emails wern't compatable, but I even went back to some of the older emails that I know worked before and they won't play now. What happened? How can I fix this? Please help.

Here's what I'm getting

Why can't I remove attachments from emails in the Sent items folder?

I Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, and so far, there are at least a couple of things that puzzle me.
One is that now I don't have the option to "Remove Attachments" from emails in the sent items folder. It seems to work normally
in the Inbox and Drafts folders, but not in the Sent items. Go figure ???
Another thing that bothers me is that in Preview, when I save a screen shot, or a scan, etc., I no longer have the option of saving it as a GIF
(which, when better quality isn't absolutely necessary, is often much lower in KB or MB than a PNG or JPG, etc.. When I store lots of things as such images, I'd rather have that option.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have now created a smart mailbox as described above (good idea), and although I have some 50 messages in my Sent box, all with attachments (waiting to be removed so I can store the messages in the proper mailboxes), the smart mailbox is empty. So, Mail doesn't recognise these messages as containing attachments.
This led me to think that maybe Mail has been redesigned to work the way you would expect it to, at last; to contain a link to attachments instead of including them in all their bits and bytes. That would mean that the messages in my Sent box - with attachments - could be stored in local (or server-side) mailboxes without taking up extensive space.
But then I checked the size of my Sent Messages folder inside the Mail Folder in Finder, and - whoops - it's 50+ MB. So the sent messages do contain attachments all right. And Mail doesn't recognise these, since a) the smart mailbox trick says that the messages are free from attachments, and b) the Remove Attachments menu option is disabled.
I will have to wait for the next Mail update, and my Sent box will grow accordingly ...

Since I have updated my iOS to iOS 7 I'm unable to save the photo attachments from email. It this a bug? Please look into the issue.

Unable to to save photo attachments from emails in ios7

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iPhone 5s stopped playing videos from web, Facebook, youtube, instagram etc. What should i do?????

Hi 361,
If you are having issues with your iPhone not playing video from any source, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I upgraded some things and Quicktime stopped playing MPEG-2 movies (black screen)!

I upgraded some things and Quicktime stopped playing MPEG-2 movies (black screen)!
I need help, I was ending a project and now it just plays black!
I have quicktime X.
HELP! PLEASE!
thank you.

Quicktime was working fine, I am not sure what Quicktime it was. I upgraded Java, I am not sure if I upgraded Quicktime. After that all quicktime movies with "MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode" codecs started playing black with audio in the background. iMovie was not used. Thank you, I am beyond desperate and I am starting to think no one can help me with this.
Then I am not sure how your created the MPEG-2/PCM MOV files. Files not imported via the MPEG-2 Import codec would normall remain in their long GOP compression format which it not edit compatible in QT based video editors. Those that are imported via the codec to make them edit-compatible then need the codec for proper playback in QT based players/editors.
Since you now say that "Quicktime is working fine," am I to assume that it is After Effects that is playing "black" screen videos and that the files play fine in the QT players? Since you also mention the files are time coded, am I to assume you used FCP or some other app to import the files (which may use the same sort of import workflow) or am I to assume it is the timecode data itself that you feel is now causing the problem. In either case, a Java update may have been a security update that is now causing your current issue by disallowing access to the required playback component for some unknown reason which Apple is unlikely to divulge if it refers to a software security risk.
If problem is general on your system, then do you have a short sample file that you can upload for testing purposes on my Snow Leopard system? At the very least, this may confirm if the problem is general to all updated platforms or local to your individual system and/or user account.

My quicktime player no longer plays quicktime attachments from emails.

I cannot play quicktime attachments from incoming emails although I used to be able to. Any suggestions?

Are you sure the files are playable by quicktime. Corruption perhaps?

Trouble downloading all attachments from email

Hey There,
I am absolutely frustrated that I can not download any attachments from my yahoo email!
Recently, someone gained access to my computer and read private files. This lead me into a spin of security over haul. I activated all the security settings in the System Preferences (set a master password and ticked all the boxes), as well as tried to retrieve my files (which they deleted) using a demo version of Stellar Phoenix and Disk Warrior to no success.
But since I've done all of the above in the last few weeks, I can not download any attachments (word, pdf, jpg anything) from my yahoo email.
I click on the attachment icon to download. This then appears in the downloads box. It starts to load but then gives up at "9.3kb of ?". saying that it "cannot create the file". I click on the refresh button next to the details and it prepares the download, but ends up not being able to create the file.
Would this be a Safari problem or would it be due to the security settings that I have recently activated?
Please help me!

No luck unfortunately
I turned off all the security preferences I could (Filevault, waking the computer with password etc), except for the master password, and I still am having the same problem of my email attachments not downloading.
While using Stellar Phoenix Demo to try and recover my deleted files,I had to create a new account, one for myself and one for the Root. Could creating either of these possibly have an effect? I know how stupid that sounds but the separate accounts and the master password being set are the only two options left that I can't change and I'm still having problems downloading attachements.

Airplay stops playing music from my iPhone 5 IOS7 after 5 minutes or so.

I want to listen to my music on my tv using Apple TV (latest Apple TV with latest firmware) from my iPhone 5. But after 5 minutes it stops playing. What can be done about this?

I have been scouring everywhere for a solution to a similar problem where the audio would drop out for a second or two ever 5 or so seconds - regardless of whether we were streaming content or using an iPad and Air Play.
I tried changing the audio channels on the ATV as suggested elsewhere and here - no luck.
Played with the settings on the Air port Express - no luck.
We swapped the ATV to a different tv and it worked fine.
Then played with the audio settings on the SONY Bravia - no luck.
Swapped the audio out on the ATV to play through the Air Port Express and plugged in the some headphones. NO AUDIO DROP OUTS!
My deduction - a problem with the HDMI cable. Borrowed a friend's cable - wasn't going to spend another $50+ if the cable wasn't the problem. And lo and behold the HDMI cable was the problem.
Only took 3 hours.

Desktop clutter: How to stop opened attachments from saving on desktop?

Hi,
Every time I open (not save) an attachment, a copy of it is automatically saved on my desktop. My desktop continually gets cluttered. I've searched on my computer but can't find where I'd go to change the default settings so this will stop happening.
Thanks for any help!

Are you referring to attachments in email, or
attachments as part of web
pages (such as download are sometimes erroneously
referred) or in what
application are you interested in controlling this
action?
The Finder preferences generally do not blanket
control these kinds of
actions; so if you are using an email application or
a browser with email
handling capabilities, these usually have a set of
preferences you can
control and choose what it does with files downloaded
or attachments.
Some attachments can be set to open in another
window. In some
applications, you could assign a folder once and have
things go into it.
What applications are you using that generate these
attachment files?
Thanks. I am referring to email attachments. I always use Mozilla Firefox to open up email attachments. In Firefox Preferences under the download tab you can choose either "Ask me where to save every file" or "Save all files to this folder." I've set it to "Ask me where to save every file" of course yet this is still saving to my desktop. Further, I don't even want to save the files, the files always save to my desktop when I just try to open, not even save, an attachment.
Thanks for your help.

Saving Attachments from email??

How do you save attachments from an email?? I received a ringtone and would like to save it to my phone, can this be done?

You can't save a ringtone from email. Ringtones can only come from synchronisation with iTunes on your computer or from the iTunes app on your iPhone.

Why does it take too long to open attachments from email account?

It takes forever to download attachments from my email account. I have tried to do the following tasks explained on the vista forum :http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/6b046ae9-1434-4423-9303-400ff6fe686b1033.mspx#ESD but none of the possible fixes work.
After clicking open on the pop up box asking whether i want to open or save the attachement It takes too long to download it. The transfer window stays open showing that it is ready to download but stays at that bhox window. I press cancel and try to open again, if lucky it opens that file, otherwise it takes forever forceing me to cancel. The files very small files most of the time, usually between 50kb so should take seconds.
I have even tried to save the files but again same process. The transfer box stays open but does not download.
Any one any ideas.
Thanx in advance.

Hello
It is not easy to say what happen exactly but it must be something with email account provider and their page. For me this case is not some typical Vista problem but you can try to find solution on Microsoft Vista IT Pro forum.
By the way: do you have alternative mail address by some other provider? Is there the same situation?
