Trouble opening e-mails over 300KB

I recently upgraded my mac mini to Tiger, and since then my mail is not opening e-mails with attachments larger than about 300kb.
When I click on the e-mail to view it the top portion of the e-mail downloads (from, date, if there are attachments, and how large, etc.). Then right away the pinwheel shows up as if it is downloading the attachments and the body text. However, nothing ever comes of this and I end up having to force quit mail. And when I open it back up I have to quickly delete the e-mail or the same thing will happen again...basically freezeing up my mail.
Before I upgraded to tiger I did not have this problem. Large attachments downloaded fine.
Any suggestions?

I don’t understand. The message has already been downloaded in its entirety by the time you view it...
What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?

We use Embarqmail from CenturyLink on our home computer. We can get to our email on our iPod, but we have trouble opening the mail. When we tap on an email, sometimes they open; most often they don't. Is there a solution?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari

Recently began having trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari. I am continually asked to upgrade my Safari to a newer edition; however, when I do a software upgrade check it tells me I have the latest edition. Anyone else having this trouble?

Your OS is way out of date and thus your version of Safari and Firefox are too. It would be wise to update Tiger using the combo update found here:http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
Then you can further update Safari to it's current version using Softwareupdate from the Apple menu.
You can also use Firefox Help menu to update to it's current version.
To be safe run Disk Utility's repair disk function from your original install disk and repair permissions before and after the update from your boot disk.
Good Luck,

TS3899 I am having trouble opening all mails. Mail is seen in inbox but the mail body cannot be viewed or opened.

I am having trouble accessing my mails. Mails appear in inbox,but preview not available. Not able to read mails.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Trouble opening e-mail video attachments

As with most Macs, my MacBook Pro came with trial versions of Windows and iWorks. I decided to go with Windows. The trial period has long been over, and clearly my computer is set to some sort of default because when I attempt to open an attachment (such as a video, etc.) in mail it attempts to open iWorks, notifies me it has expired, and encourages me to subscribe. How can I change this default to allow these attachments to open in Windows-friendly applications, or do I simply have to buy iWorks? I've talked to several other Mac users--who have chosen either Windows or iWorks--and none of them have had this problem.
Thank you.

Open your e-mail account on your Mac and double click on your attachment. If you have set your touch to delete mail on the server (not really a good idea if you use the same account) change that setting.
If you have changed the server setting or use a separate account, just e-mail yourself the attachment.

Trouble openning e-mail attachments taken and sent by cell phone cameras

I am able to preview Pdf attachments sent to me by e-mail that was taken with cameras but is unable to open those documents; can anyone help with that?

Hi fyzabad,
Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader are you using.
Could you clarify what you mean by saying sent by 'cell phone cameras'?
You might have received an email with PDF files attached to it.
Please save them first and then try to open with Reader.
Let me know then what happens.
Regards,
Anubha

I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

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 JPG files sent to my email address in Mail

If I open my Mail box, I am unable to view JPG sent to me, but if I log onto >mac through firefox, the photos are displayed as per normal, but if I use the Mail appl, all I get is text messages

However, if I reply from the .Mac mailbox, the reply
is still "from" the AOL account (I'm assuming because
it looks at the To: field first). Is there any way I
can have it reply from the email address where I
received the message (if I am looking at it from my
.Mac inbox, I want it to reply from my .Mac account,
even if it was only CCed there).
It sounds like you have two Email account preferences: one for your .mac the other for the aol. Depending on which account you have selected will determine which outgoing email server is used. Check that the selected mac account prefs is using .mac as its outgoing mail server.

I cannot open yahoo mail login page over wireless using FF 35.0

Ever since FF updated to 35.0 I can not open yahoo mail log in,
using wireless. It seems to work only if plugged in. If I open it in IE 11 I seem to have no issues though regardless of how I connect. I have tried several of the suggestions safe mode, resetting, firewall, etc but no luck.
Running Win7 64 bit (with latest updates), Firefox v35.0

Okay, Using wired you have access, using wireless, none.
I take it both are going thru the same modem?

Sending, receiving and opening e-mail in Pagemaker 6.5?

I am currently having trouble sending e-mail in Pagemaker 6.5.
I send it to its destination, however it arrives in a different format that can't be opened. I
Is there anybody out there who can help me? What do I need to be doing?
I can't understand sending it in the proper format only to have it arrive in something else.
Help...... FAST..............

If you are certain the other person is also using Pagemaker 6.5, my suggestion is to compress it in a common format for compression before e-mailing it. Data sent over the internet in its own raw format instead of an encoded file format that is supported by most people can sometimes get corrupted. Check with the person you are sending to what operating system they have, and which compressed formats they can open. http://www.maczipit.com/ for instance supports Winzip/PKZip compression. Control-mouse selecting Archive in 10.3 supports GnuZip (Gzip) and in 10.4 supports Winzip/PKZip compression. If the other person has an older Mac, they may only have Stuffit compression support, for which you'd need http://www.allume.com/ 's DropStuff or Stuffit Deluxe.

Can't open iTunes, Mail, Safari, and others since Security Update download

I see that this subject has come up in other posts - here's my situation -
I have a four year old Powerbook G4, running on 10.4.11. I downloaded (using Firefox as my browser) Java for OS X 10.4 Release 5, iTunes 7.6.2, and Security Update 2008-02 (Power PC). Since that time, I can no longer open iTunes, Mail, Safari, iChat, Yahoo and MSN Messenger. Software update will not open from the Apple menu, but I can open and run it from the System Preferences panel.
I tried to re-download Safari and iTunes, but the installer won't open the files - just says that the installer closed unexpectedly and to send the info to Apple.
I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the HD (my HD is not the original HD, but a new one installed two months ago), and the device, without any success.
Any ideas in where to go from here?

Should I try doing that before I try the Archive and Install?
Running DU from the HD will not allow you to repair the HD, but it will allow you to Verify the HD to tell if you need to boot from the Install disk to actually Repair it.
Should you need/want to do it from the Install Disk...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Also, if I try Archive and Install, will it delete all of my personal files, too, or will these be carried over?
If you use A&I and choose the Preserve Users & Settings, it should just replace the OS' files and leave all yours intact. About the only way it could fail is Power Failure during it, (make sure Laptops have AC power during A&I or Repairs, , updates, etc.), Bad Disk/Directory info to start with, or flaky RAM or some such odd thing.
