TS1506 iphone iOS 7.0.4 won't open/download/save email attachments

I just bought the a new iphone 5s running iOS 7.0.4. I cannot open, download or save any email attachments. This is critical in running a business when I need to view an image or document when I'm out of the office! It works perfectly fine on my old phone running iOS 6. There seems to be a lot of people with the same problem and no fix yet. Disappointing to say the least. Apple, when will you be fixing this?

Hey Shaymom,
I found these these steps for when you receive an error or alert message when attempting to update or restore your iPhone:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Verify that your computer operating system is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after restarting.
On a Mac: In the Apple () menu, choose Software Update. Install all available updates.
On a Windows PC: Go to the Microsoft Windows Update page.
Check your security software: Note: Most restore issues are caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software, firewalls, and network router settings or firmware.
Isolate the issue to third-party software.
Update security software.
Properly configure your security software.
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software.
Temporarily remove any unnecessary USB devices, leaving only your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the USB cable that came with your device, and a keyboard and mouse, if necessary.
Restart your computer and try again.

  • After downloading iphone pictures to desktop, itunes won't open.  I downloaded itunes 10.6 (64bit) but get "Do you want the following program to make changes to your computer?" Apple Inc.  I've clicked "yes", restarted the computer, and still no luck.

    I also have the same problem, but the Software Updates tool doesn't recognise that Quicktime is out of date. Have you tried downloading Quicktime 7.7 Leopard from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime as this worked for me...?

  • My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs. it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this?

    My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs, it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this? I just bought the computer last month so this is some what frustrating.

    If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it.  (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

  • Brand new macbook air won't open or save pdf's

    FIles display pdf icon  but it says it won't open "because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged and may be corrupted" etc. I then installed adobe reader and still get same issue, I've downloaded several pdf's from different sources (old macbook and web, stored files I know are not damaged)
    I'm running mac osx 10.7.3
    my java is SE 6 64/32 version 1.6.0._31-b04-415 if that makes any difference (read java could be a factor)
    pdf's will open from the web in safari but won't save like normal "save as" menu would, it says
    "The document “Test_File.pdf” could not be exported as “Test_File.pdf”."
    very annoying issue as I use pdf's daily, any help greatly appreciated
    thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • After I updated iOS 5 can´t use the "open with" for mail attachments.

    After I updated iOS 5 on my iPad 2, I can not use the "open with" for mail attachments. The option is not appearing.
    For example, when I try to open an .wmv attachment the iOS 5 doesn´t show "open with". Before update, I was able to open with "AZUL" software.
    Can anyone help me?

    You did say that the option does not appear at all in mail no matter which file type you want to open correct? I can only assume that something went corrupt in the update that affected your settings and that's why this option no longer appears. For experimental purposes, you could try emailing a PDF to yourself and see if that will allow you to use the Open in function in the mail app.
    If nobody else jumps into this discussion with a different idea, then maybe you should try restoring your iPad. The best way to do so is - first backup the device - and then restore to factory settings and then you can try restoring from a backup at the end of the process.
    However, if one of your settings is corrupt, the backup will be corrupt as well. It may be that you will have to restore to factory settings and then start all over again - adding your apps and content back to the device to get the best results. I would certainly use this process as a last resort. Restoring from a backup maybe all that you need to do.

  • Pages on Mavericks won't open downloaded Google Drive docs

    How can I force Mavericks to let Pages open downloaded Google Drive docs?
    I installed Mavericks and then reverted back to iWork 09 but Pages now won't open files in .docx format that I download from Google Drive.
    I get error:
    The document “5TThinkPiece.docx” couldn’t be opened.
    This is one of the biggest #firstworldproblems I can imagine; if Mavericks isn't comptatible with Google Drive then the Mac has to go, because Gdrive > Computer.

    I had the same problem, but fixed it.
    Having bought the CD-ROM with iWork way back updates for this does not appear automatically in Mavericks App Store. However, after downloading the update for iWork here:

    - Pages works like a charm again when it comes to opening all kind of Word documents.
    Hope this will help you also.

  • Downloaded 3.5.11 & bluetooth modem won't open. downloaded 3.6.8 it won't open

    downloaded 3.5.11 & bluetooth modem won't open. then downloaded 3.6.8 & it won't even open. It put up a window that said it would send a crash message to mozilla, but nothing happened & I have no ID to give you
    == Crash ID(s) ==

    I couldn't solve it. So, I just use the previous version of itunes.
    As a matter of fact, everything goes crazy after update and also upgrade of OS. I have more or less the same problem now, since I upgrade my Mac OS X to the latest version "Mavericks". Eveything is slow and undesirable. It seems there is no solution for these problems.
    I decide to format all the labtop and again instal the mac OS from the begining. Hope it works and get my labtop back in the previous condition.

  • After downloading iOS 7 on iPhone 5 the control center won't open.

    When I swipe up from the bottom, nothing happens. Both of the control center options are enabled in the settings. Help!

    Do you have a bulky case with an edge near the bottom of the screen?
    Lots of people describe this problem with Otterbox Defender and other thick cases.

  • I can't update my iphone anymore because the itunes won't open.  It says I can't run itunes with my version of mac ox

    I can't update my iphone because a message pops up that says "You cannot use the application itunes with this mac os x."  I went to software updates and it said they were all complete.

    You are running an ancient OSX on your Mac. Since you didn't share what Mac model and model information with us, we cannot tell you if you are able to upgrade or not. You need OSX 10.6.8 at a minimum to run iTunes 11.2

  • IPhone 3GS music crash and won't open up

    One morning, I was listening to my iPhone 3GS then all of a sudden the music app itself crash. From then on I can't seem to open my music anymore and I have restored about 4 times now and I really want to listen to my music. What can I do to fix it???

  • My iPhone won't open photo library, email, email settings, app store, and most of my apps--basically anything relating to the memory of the phone. Any ideas about what to do?

    Ever since I few days ago, whenever I try to access these applications, it takes abot 10-15 seconds to load and then shuts down and shoots me back the home screen. I'm pretty savvy with my phone, and usually can figure these things, but honestly have no clue what to do.

    Clear background memory then Reset. Press Home button twice quickly. In now row of icons at bottom of screen, tap and hold on an icon until you get the Red Minus Sign. Then tap all the Red Minus Signs to delete background memory. When done with all, then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
