TB (currently v31.1.2) does not open certain attachments (e.g. jpg, pdf) properly.

I've been having trouble opening certain attachments, notably .pdf and .jpg. Example: today I wanted to open a .jpg attachment. I right-click on the attachment and select Open. I get about one-third of the picture okay and the rest is just a muddy grey colour. For both pdfs and jpgs the file also shows in the body of the message as a collection of weird characters at the end of the message underneath the name of the file.
[As an aside, I deal with this jpg problem by using my iPhone, opening the image, pasting it into the BODY of a new message, sending that message to my email address, opening that email in TB and then copy & paste to where I want it. I haven't yet found a way around the PDF problem except by opening and reading on my phone.]
From the support pages I'm guessing this is a problem associated with mimeTypes but that is a step too far for me :) I go to Tools>Options>Attachments but just see a box that shows me two tabs (Incoming and Outgoing). Under incoming, none of the entries mention .pdf or .jpg and there is no mechanism to add such an entry even if I knew what I was doing.
Any help/thoughts would be appreciated (running Windows 7 64 bit)

Thanks for this Matt and Toad Hall. It makes sense to me. I had to install a firewall on my machine (long story ... to do with a game I play and a new VOIP router) and later, but around the same time, installed an update from TB. It was after the update that the trouble started so I assumed it was a TB issue.
But although I can't check this, it is quite possible that I didn't receive any emails with PDF or JPG attachments between the time I installed the firewall and later installed the TB update and thus the problem caused by the firewall didn't show until after the update.
The firewall is part of the Outpost suite from Agnitum (recommended by my ISP) so it all seems to tie in with what you have said.
I have now attended to the issue with the firewall and it all seems to be okay.
Many thanks

Safari 6 on ML does not open or even let me save PDF flies

I don't know if anyone has come up with this problem, but ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I can't open PDF files or save them to downloads folder or on my hard drive. Every time I click on a pdf link, Safari opens a new tab with the full address ending in .pdf in the address line, but empty page. It does not give any opttions to save the pdf either. So every time I need to download or read a PDF document on internet, I have to launch Opera. I don't want to change my default browser from Safari to Opera, but if this pdf issue can't be sorted out, i will have to migrate to Opera. Has anyone had this problem before?
There was no problems with PDFs in Safari with Lion or Snow Leopard (though I don't remember if I was using Safari 6 with them).
I am running a mid 2012 MBP, ML 10.8.0, Safari 6.0, default PDF viewer: Preview

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again.

Normal double clicking or apple O, does not open certain mp3's

I have a few mp3's that no matter what route I go, i.e. drag and drop, manual import through file menu, or double clicking on iTunes mp3's, does not seem to open certain mp3 files. It seems to be random as I can click ten and only one will not open in iTunes. They files don't however look any different or seem to have any major differences.
I can play the files that don't open however in preview, quicktime or logic, so why can I not import and play in iTunes? Any insight here?

SAFARI DOES NOT OPEN CERTAIN WEBPAGES, INSTEAD DOWNLOADS ASPX EXTENSIONFILE

Safari doesnot open certain webpages, instead it downloads a file with .ASPX extension.
I opened the Mac in safeboot and run Disk Utility and repaired Disk permissions under it. In safe boot, safari (or other) browser opens all the webpages very well, but when I open the system in normal mode, again .aspx issue appears.
I am getting so upset with the system. Can you please help me?
Thank you in advance

We had this problem on a few websites over here and in our case the administrators of the pages had to make some changes to the pages to make them Safari compatible.
A workaround we used in the meantime was to set Acrobat to open aspx files using the finders Get Info window.
Then we set Firefox as the default browser.
Then when we clicked on ASPX links the files downloaded to the disk and when we double clicked them in Firefoxes downloads window they opened in a PDF window inside Firefox.
I hope you get what I'm talking about.

Address bar google search does not open in the current tab

When I do a address bar google search, the search window does not open in my current tab (which is usually a newly blank tab window), instead it opens in a previously opened tab window (or sometimes even a new tab), but never does the search appear in the current tab. When it does this, it ofteb replaces a web page which I can no longer view it without going backwards.
The only fix I have found is to open a new tab and go to Google's web page and search from there. But, this takes extra time and I have to remember to do this. Otherwise, I might lose web pages I wish to view.
This never used to happen until recently. I have a Mac using Lion for the past year.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anna

I appreciate your input, but I don't want the google web page to open in a new window.
Instead, I want to search using the address bar in using google to open the search in the tabbed webpage I am viewing, rather than open another tabbed webpage. When it opens in a different tab from the one I am in, it either creates a brand new tab, or more problematically, opens the search in an tabbed window which has an existing webpage I still want to access for viewing.
This is a Firefox issue. Address bar searching works as it should in Safari.

How can i setup pages to automatically open when double clicked. Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

Hi Karen,
Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
Close the info window.
Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.
Regards,
Barry

You can try a direct connection and select No Proxy in the connection settings.
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
Also do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

IBM Systems Director link to HMC does not open

I use IBM Systems Director. When I find a VM on Systems Director and click on the link for the VM, a new window should open to another application called Hardware Management Console. The window does not open, I only see the screen blink once. Pop up blocker disable does not help.
This used to work on older versions of firefox and it currently works on IE 9.
I do not receive any error messages.
Thanks

Hi mikosrt, these releases were current in March 2013:
* General releases
** 19.0 before March 7th
** 19.0.1 released March 7th
** 19.0.2 released March 8th
* Enterprise releases
** 17.0.3esr before March 7th
** 17.0.4esr from March 7th forward
A lot has changed since Firefox 19, so it may be difficult to pin down the issue. If you need to run this application in Firefox 19, you could use the unofficial "portable" release. This installs to a single folder independent of your main Firefox. However, you generally can't run both at the same time.
You can download portable releases from SourceForge for testing to find the latest one that works:

Compiled executable does not open in maximized window

I have attached a JPG showing the VI Properties that pertain to Window size. Despite the fact that I have indicated in Run-Time Position - Position: Maximized. The compiled executable does not open in a maximized window.
Even stranger, if I take the shortcut for the program and change it's properties (on the target machine) to Open Maximized, it still doesn't open maximized.
I have had this behavior with every compiled executable for a couple of years using versions of LabVIEW 8, 2010, 2011 and currently 2011 SP1. Both the compiling machine and the target machine are Windows XP.
Is there any explanation for this behavior? Any way to correct it?
Solved!

I think Ravens Fan is correct. The aspect ratio appears to take precedence over the window position.
You can set a property manually in your code to maximize the window.

Does not open in new tab

Just installed Safari 3.1 on a Windows XP Pro SP2 computer. Works fine except it does not open new links in a new tab as it is set in preferences. It will open in a new tab if you right click and select new tab, but should not have to do this.
Currently it opens in the same window. It seems to have changed since I first installed and set preferences, it was always opening a new window, now same window, same tab.

If you want to open a link (that is in a Safari web page) in a new tab, you need to hold <CTRL> when you click it (if you have it set that way in the "Tabs" section of the preferences).
You maybe confusing "Open links from Applications" (ie. links from an email program or the desktop, but not from inside Safari) in the "General" section of the preferences, with the settings in the "Tabs" section.

Global Policy Link Does Not Open A New Browser Window

Hi All,
On 11.5.10.2 version
Global Policy Link which is located at the top of most iExpenses pages is
supposed to open a dynamic web page (Core policy manuals) on a new browser when
someone clicks on it. Currently this link, when clicked on it, brings the
correct page on the same browser.
I need the page to be opened in new window.
if not so, i need a alternate solution to open in new window
Thanks in advance,
Vali

Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

Grey Window - Does not open after Running a Form

Hello!
I have the following problem:
I just installed Oracle 9i-Developer Suite.
After installing it, I wanted to run a form (also made in Forms 9i).
So, I selected one form , connected to the database and Run it.
The first time, a dialog appeared informing me i need to instal Jinitiator1.3.1.9.
So, I installed JInitiator and Run the form again.
The result is that it does not open. It seems to be blocked.A grey window apppears and that is all. After some minutes (about 30 minutes after), 2 error messages appear:
1.FRM-92101 : A Failure has occured on the Server. you will need to reestablish your session.
2.FRM-92050 : Failed to connect to the Server. /forms 90/190servlet -1
Please tell me what to do next to run this form (or any other form).
If an aplication is runned, and it uses Jinitiator 1.3.1.13 everything seems to be ok.

If you are getting the applet background (usually gray or tan colored), it means the http listener (oc4j) is likely already running. This is confirmed by the request to install jinitiator. If the listener was not running, neither of these events would occur.
Before going to far, I have to ask.... do you know how old 9i is? Also, "9i" could possibly be one of two versions 9iR1 = Forms 6.0.8 and 9iR2 = Forms 9.0.2. Both of these versions were desupported long ago. This is important to know for several reasons.
1. Even if you actually have a valid support contract with Oracle, they will not be able to offer much assistance as Support is not able to report new bugs against these versions and in some cases, can no longer refer you to documentation as some of it has already been obsoleted.
2. Because these versions are so old, they will not likely run on newer operating systems. For example if you are using Vista, Win7, Win2008, etc, Jinitiator will not run on these platforms. Since neither of these Forms versions was certified for use with any of the JRE versions that were supported on these newer operating systems, the only solution that makes sense would be to upgrade the Forms version.
Apparently, you partially see the problem as you indicated that it works when using JInit 1.3.1.13. Even this version is very old. In general, Jinitiator is no longer supported either, but the latest and last version is 1.3.1.30. So you can see that the latest version is many releases newer than .13. If you are not using one of the platforms I mentioned above, you may have more luck with a newer jinit version. You can download 1.3.1.30 from MyOracleSupport using Patch ID 7410076. If you do not have access to MOS, you may be temporarily out of luck as these files are currently not available on OTN although may return once the recent migration has been completed.
Regarding the errors you noted:
FRM-92101 generally indicates that the runtime (ifweb90.exe) was not able to start or crashed after it was started.
FRM-92050 generally means there was a problem with the url or the related session ID or header info. This can occur if your machine is not properly configured in DNS, as well as many other possible causes. Assuming you are using the Forms Builder to run your forms, try changing the url from the host name to "localhost". In other words:
http://localhost:<port number>/forms90/f90servlet
Regardless, upgrading will be you first best action.
