Hi,
Which email application (e.g. Outlook <version>, Outlook Express, IE, ... etc) are you using?

  • 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.

  • Trouble downloading email attachments

    Can anyone enlighten me as to why all of a sudden (about a couple of months ago) email attachments such as pictures, wmv files and slides won't open any more. It looks as if the files are downloading but instead of then opening and playing, nothing happens. The black slideshow box opens and indicates however many pictures there are, but it just goes round in circles and remains black. Grateful for any help.

  • I am having trouble downloading attachments from email

    I have an iPad 2 that has been upgraded to IOS 7.0.4. This was a problem before the update - which is the reason for the update but that's another story.
    So for now, iPad 2 IOS 7.0.4 16GB wifi/cell model
    I am having trouble downloading attachments. Not all. but some. a movie in particular and some documents.
    I would thingk it was the email account but I can open it on my iPhone without issue.
    I would've thought the link was bad but I forwarded it one of my other email accounts and it opens fine.
    I have restarted, rebooted, deleated the mail account and reloaded it.
    Still nothing. I have tried to save the video by clicking the "Save Video" icon when you tap and hold the video but it never saves.
    Sometimes it will act like it is going to save because I get a black screen and a rotating flower in the middle of the screen and it says "Loading" but it never does anything. Other times it will just give me a message that says "Can't download attachement".
    Any one have any thoughts?

    What is your connection via speedtest.net ?
    Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify network interference
    Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

  • Since i reinstalled OSX i am having trouble downloading my email attachments

    since i reinstalled OSX i am having trouble downloading my email attachments. I have updated the system.

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

  • Can't preview Excel attachments in iOS8

    We have several users who can't preview Excel attachments in e-mail on their iPhones . I've seen this happen with users with iPhone 4Ss to iPhone 6+'s. They all have iOS8, including the most recent update.
    The device tries to open the attachment: you see the spinning wheel for a few seconds, then just shows the name and file type.
    I've tried saving the file as an older xls file, or a newer xlsx file (new up to Excel 2010: haven't been able to test with 2013). I've tried removing worksheets, reformatting the file. It does not work.
    The files will open in Numbers or Documents to Go on the device. It is only in the mail preview it does not open.
    It happens in e-mail from an Exchange server, GMail or AOL.
    I do see that it creates an error log. Under the Diagnostics and Usage log, there is a log file called quicklookd_DATE_TIME added and the file LatestCrash_quicklookd.ips is updated each time I open these. I'm not sure how to find the error in here, but the Exception Type is EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT).
    I've seen some posts about downloading full messages to solve this, but as far as I can tell they are downloaded.

    Yes, it can't be opened as an attachment.

  • Can't open Excel attachments

    After upgrading to Lion, any Excel attachments I receive from a windows machine will not open. Previously under Snow Leopard I was using an older version of Excel and never had any problems.
    Since upgrading to Lion, I've taken to editing a document in Numbers, saving it as an Excel file and mailing it to a windows user as a windows safe attachment. The Windows user can open and edit it but I cannot open the edited file they return to me. Interestingly a friend's Windows pc has no trouble reading the attachment.
    Does this sound like a Lion problem, or is there something on the Windows side causing problems?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pelennor

    Hi! Thanks for your response, but I'm not trying to open the file in Excel. I guess the question is whether Numbers can open up an excel file (.xls). The workflow is:
    1- create file in Numbers
    2 - save file as an excel file (.xls)
    3 - email file to partner as a Windows safe attachment
    4 - partner updates file in Excel and sends updated file back to me
    It's at this point where the problem occurs. I try to open the updated file and I can't. Numbers doesn't recognize it, yet a friend's Windows PC has no trouble. It's as if there's some kind of encryption occurring in step 4 that makes the file unreadable on the Mac.
    I hope this clarifies the problem.
    Again thanks for responding!

  • Why does Reader XI download email attachments to my Download folder before I am able to print them?

    After last update my Reader XI automatically downloads email attachments (.pdf) to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that file in order to print it.  Before, the attachment would open in Reader and I could print from that direct.

    Windows 8, Firefox email client.  What happens is that I click on attachment links in emails, which are .pdf files.  Instead of a menu allowing opening of the file with Reader, the file gets automatically downloaded to my Downloads folder.  I then have to open that folder, click on the file name... then Reader opens and I can view the file as well as print it from the Reader menu.

    I have a "search.jsp" with a commandButton to generate excel. "Report.jsp" opens up in a new window when i click on this button by running below mentioned javascript.

Does anyone has solution. It will be big help. Thanks.

    Try upgrading JSF. I recall a Javascript-specific bug like this in a specific webbrowser. You could try to test in different webbrowsers. The latest JSF 1.2 is currently 1.2_14 which came out just 3 weeks ago. You can get it at [http://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net].
    Oh, you certainly need to invoke `FacesContext#responseComplete()` afterwards. This is really not the problem.

    Hello, can anyone help me out there? Im having trouble downloading itunes on my computer.
    Ikeep getting a error message reading:
    #1  applesyncnotifer.exe- entry point not found.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
