Trouble opening attachments in Bridge messages

I can't open attachments. When I tap the attachment, I get a message that says: "attachment too large".
I'm sure it's something simple....any help is appreciated.

There may be a IT policy preventing you from opening the attachments. Speak to your BES administrator. If that is the culprit and they refuse to change the policy than you are SOL on opening attachments.

I can no longer open attachments. Error message XPCOM. How do I fix

I used to be able to open all attachments - now I cant open any. The error message simply says XPCOM How do I fix?

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Trouble opening attachments

I find I am getting attachments that I can't open on my Mac, but have no problem opening on my PC. (I'm new to Mac so running both machines now as I am in changeover phase) The attachments I am having problems with seem to be WORD docs with the suffix .docx which I think means they were generated in Windows 7, the newer system, and also .pdf files. In both cases they arrive on my Mac as files marked winmail.dat and they won't open. Tried everything I can think of, but not many options - can't convert them or save them. Talked to Mac technical support and was told it's an issue with my Internet provider (Bell Aliant in my case) so called them and they say it's not their issue, so I'm caught in customer limbo here. All suggestions welcome. One related thing. A friend recommended software called TNEF, which can be used to convert any files that won't open. This has worked on some of these winmail.dat files but not all.
Thanks.

Winmail.dat is an internal structure from Outlook. If you are seeing this file it is due to a misconfiguration somewhere on the PC side of things. Here is a document from Microsoft that explains how to fix it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053
The above document will be no help to you. You have to send it to whomever sent you the e-mail messages and have them make the necessary changes.

Bridge Message icon has disappeared

The Bridge message icon has disappeared from my playbook.the program is still there but the icon isn't.
When I open up any message notifications which appear in the top left hand corner I can open up the bridge message, no problem.
Has anyone any idea how I can recover it?

Tried that and I'm afraid it didn't work.

Open jpg files in message

The one thing I don't like about Icloud mail, is that you can't open attachments within the message. I really don't like having to download the attachment to my computer just to see what it is. My concern is if I'm on the shared machine I don't want to download my attachment to their hard drive. There must or should be another way to do this. Apple are you listening?

I don't have an answer as to why Preview doesn't want to cooperate, but if you only need to view the jpeg's and do nothing else to them, you can use two FREE applications that come already pre-installed on your Mac... Those are iPhoto and Safari. Just drag and drop over the application icon.
You can also find several FREE photo viewers in the APP STORE.

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 am having trouble with the cache in bridge. When i open I get a message saying bridge has encountered a problem reading the cache try purging in the central cache to correct the situation. I did that but now when I try to get to the folders where my photos are stored bridge never gets to where I can work. The message appears "building criteria" and I get an endless loop on the lower left panel. How do I correct?

You correct it by leaving Bridge alone until it finishes rebuilding its cache, overnight if necessary.

PC user has trouble opening my photo attachments

The person on the receiving end has trouble opening and saving my jpeg (72 dpi). They appear in the body of both e-mail, hers and mine. She told me to send it as an attach and I said that's what I did. She is a graphic web designer and I can't imagine why she can't save them easily by right clicking.
What gives?

You didn't answer every question, namely this one.
+If you are using RTF for message composition, are you adding attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used?+
RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML but certain things must occur for HTML to be implemented with the message body.
Selecting a font or different font size and/or color via the Font panel when composing a message, changing the some of the message format - adding bold. italics or underlining selected text, using a Signature that was composed with HTML or RTF or that includes a graphic insert.
Windows Outlook has always had various problems with Mail's RTF and the extent of the problem depends on the Windows version and/or Outlook version used by the recipient.
For some reason when using RTF for message composition, Outlook has problems when adding attachments anywhere in the message body besides below ALL message text including a signature if one is used.
If Plain Text was supported with the exchange of email only, most if not all problems experienced with the exchange of email and message attachments would be eliminated so using Plain Text instead of RTF should resolve it with this particular problem being with Outlook recipients only. For such an old and mature email client, Outlook still has its share of bugs.

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
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.

Trouble opening a just created Pages file.....error message says I need a newer version of Pages......Apple Store says I have version 5.0.......opening an older Pages file it says I have version 4.3.......can not find any way to try another upgrade to 5.0

Trouble opening a just created Pages file.....error message says I need a newer version of Pages......Apple Store says I have version 5.0.......opening an older Pages file it says I have version 4.3.......can not find any way to try another upgrade to 5.0........please help......
Thanks

Personally, I would not recommend deleting/removing the iWorks 09 folder for several reasons: one is that the new versions have had several functionalities removed and until you decide that you can work with the new one and do not miss any features the older version had, I would leave the old one in place. Personally, I will not be using the new versions.
The second reason is that you can accomplish what you want using a different approach: simply open a Get Info window of your document and choose which version of Pages you want this to open in - you can also stipulate that all docs like this are opened with whichever particular version.
FWIW: Once you have edited an old document in the new Pages version, you can no longer open it in the older version. However, you can still export it to the old version.

BB playbook Bridge message app won't open.

I have the same thing happening to me today. What did you do to fix it. All the other apps in Blackberry Bridge work fine on my Playbook, it's just the messages. I have tried re-starting both devices but I still can't display the messsages, just the annoying white to black flashing screen.

Was skiing with a lifeproof on and my phone did not get wet. On the ride back my phone was struggling to send/receive messages and had trouble opening apps. The screen froze and I hit the sleep button; since then, it has not turned on. Any suggestions on what to do?

It probably got too cold and shut down. Warm it to room temperature, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.
