Unable to open .doc & .docx attachments goes directly to send mail window .pdf opens fine

I am running Windows Vista Ver. 6.0.6002 Svc pack 2 Build 6002. Tbrd 24.5.0. AVG 2014.0.4592. In the send mail window the attachment is in the attachment box with the correct name on it. Everything worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply but unfortunately that did not help. I have the option set to use Microsoft word as the default program for .doc attachments and now it comes up with the file is possibly corrupt. If I go back to a .doc attachment that I had previously opened it does the same thing in that if I set the option to ask me what to do and I select Word it says the file is corrupt. I just discovered that if I save the attachment to a file then open the saved version with Word it works fine so that to me proves that the file is not corrupted. Now that I know how to get the file to display on my screen I will do that from now on but it is not right.
Thanks for the help.

Could you open those Office file on another machine? If no, repair you source file first.
Do you install any other application in this SBS 2008 server, like it also is a DC role?
Repair/reinstall Office from Control panel to check the result as well.

IPhone 5s doesn't ring and goes directly to voice mail. Do not disturb is disabled. Have reset network settings and did a hard reset. What am I missing?

iPhone 5s doesn't ring and goes directly to voice mail. Do not disturb is disabled. Have reset network settings and did a hard reset. What am I missing?

Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

My phone is dropping calls, doesn't ring all the time-goes directly to voice mail, do no recieve alert on when a text is recieved

1-My phone does not ring all the time upon recieving an incoming call, it goes directly to voice mail.
2- Not recieving alert tone upon recieving a text message.
3- Dropping calls also

We have the same problem widespread in our company with iPhone 4's and 5's:
- Fails to establish the call, dials but nothing happens
- Drops the call for no reason even though signal strength is good
- Recevie text alerts to notify of voicemail when the handset has not rung nor does it show missed calls
We migrated someone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a month and all these issues went away. Nothing to do with alert tones turned down or faulty silent switches.

Receiving Calls Problem - going directly to voice mail

My iPhone is set to check for email every 15 minutes. If someone calls at the time iPhone is automatically checking for email, the call goes directly to voice mail.
Worse it doesnt even show up as a missed call.
I understand that Edge is turned off when making a call.
But this happens automatically so I have no control over this feature. I tried calling myself from a landline at the time iPhone was checking for emails and verified this issue.
Does anyone else have the same problem - what is the solution?
Thanks

"That's the way that GSM/EDGE works. The radio can only do one thing at a time. If it's doing data, then the voice call goes right to VM and you don't get notified until the VM gets in."
That is not entirely correct. That is not how GSM/EDGE works. This is how iPhone is designed to work. I have a Nokia N73 and when i am browsing the Web using EDGE (T-Mobile's network), if i get a call, i will be prompted to accept the call. The way that iPhone is designed, it seems to be that Apple values data connectivity more than voice calls. In my opinion, this is probably the wrong way to do it.

Unable to open .doc email attachments

I recently upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8 and now I cannot open .doc attachments in my emails anymore. I'm using the iOS mail app with my Gmail account. The app just opens a grey screen with the document name. No change when I tried to reset my device.
Just to make sure I opened the same email on my iPhone 5 runnung iOS 7.1.2 and was able to open the attachment just fine... What gives?

This is a tip I got from ehow.com:
"While less common in Firefox, runtime errors can still occur on that browser. To prevent it from happening again, merely uninstall and reinstall Firefox on your computer."

Firefox will not open to home page as directed in options and settings. Opening in safe mode makes no difference, either. Any ideas?

Firefox will not open to home page as set in the settings. Even in safe mode, it still will not open to home page as directed. It seems to want to open to last set of tabs, even though that is not the way it was set in settings. It seems as though the settings do not have any impact on the way it behaves!!!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

How do I stop duplicate attachments showing up on sending Mail?

I've just started using Mail, and find that attachments embed themselves in the message I want to send as well as as an attachment. On the other end the document appears to have two attachments, one of which won't open. (Word document, recipient using Windows). Same when I send to myself.
Also, when I send and receive photos, they are embedded in the message, as well as attached. I want to disable the embedding feature. Can anyone tell me how?
Thanks, Frances

The attachments are not embedded. It is called inline or viewed in place which is different.
When attaching image/photo attachments and smaller PDF attachments (1-2) pages, these type of attachments are shown inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off - when sending and receiving.
You can control-click on a viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon. Regardless, all Mail.app attachments are sent as true attachments to the message.
Depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place with the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately for which we have no control over.
I prefer this feature since it ensures that I have selected the correct image/photo attachment before the message is sent and I always add all attachments after I've finished composing the message below all text.
You can use a 3rd party Mail.app plugin called Mail Attachments Iconizer which can be downloaded at the following link.
http://lokisw.com/index.php?item=MailAttachmentsIconizer
Regarding the two attachments that appear, the extra attachment is the Apple resource fork for the file which is invisible to fellow Mac users. This doesn't occur with all Windows users since it depends on the Windows version and email client and version the recipient is running.
Beginning with Panther (10.3), the Mail.app includes a send Windows Friendly Attachments feature.
Check Windows users have problems with files I send and be sure to include the filename extensions, such as .doc, in the names of all files you send to Windows recipients. This way the files can be read by a Windows application.

Adobe Form send by e-mail as PDF + opening Outlook

Hello,
I've created a form with a "send by e-mail' button.
When clicking this button, the users Outlook should open with a new e-mail and the pdf attached (subject and To pre-filled)
I have tested this in example mode in Livecycle designer. Everthing works fine then.
But when I publish the form it sends the form directly to the given e-mail adres, without opening the outlook e-mail first.
It is important to open the outlook e-mail first, because I want them to add attachements and some comments in the mail before sending the form.
Any of you familiar with this problem, and how to solve it?

Did you use this script in your button?
mailto:? Subject =
This has always worked for me.

E-Mail attachment (PDF) opening up Hyperlinks instead of PDF

When we receive a rich text email with an attachment which is embedded, sometimes we have a problem when opening up the attachment. When clicking the attachment it opens up a hyperlink instead of the attachment which is normally
a PDF attachment. I believe it could be due to the email signature anyone else have any thoughts about this or seen this with a hotfix to resolve the issue?
Running Exchange 2013 and it view through Outlook Web App fine.

Hi,
Thank you for your update.
Have you confirmed where the user got the PDF attachment?
I’ve tested this issue in my environment. I copied an image from a web site, pasted it to a new email with rich text format. Then I sent it to another email account. When I tried to open the image from the account by clicking on it, it opened
the web site where I copied the image.
So, for your situation, I suppose it is the same reason to my test. To confirm this, please let the user (who send you the problematic attachment) save the PDF file to local, and double-check it when attached to the new email. Right-click on the attachment
and select Hyperlink to confirm if it contains a hyperlink.
Or, we can just check the issue locally. Open the problematic email, click
Forward, then right-click on the PDF attachment and check if you will get the following pop-up window.
If so, select Edit Hyperlink to check if you can find any hyperlink from the
Address field.
Please let me know the result.
I'm standing by for your reply.
Best Regards,
Steve Fan

Mail windows stay open when offline

Hi everyone,
I'm running 10.6.1 with mail 4.1 (1076).
I do a lot of e-mail while commuting and since I upgraded to Snow my messages typed and send offline just stay open; the close button doesn't respond. Even if I delete the message the window stays there. If I close the mail.app and reopen it everything is clean again.
Not a big deal but just annoying.
Any clue ?
Thanks

Actually, the message window stays also open when I'm connected... trying to close a newly created message is not possible, sending it is ok, if I save the message (cmd-s) it appears in the drafts, if I double click on the draft list a new window will open (so I have two windows of the same message), If I delete the message from the draft list it will disappear from the list but the window(s) will stay and are still editable.

Treo 800W: Missing Calls, Going Directly to Voice Mail

I am at wit's end. My Treo 800W will roll directly to voicemail for no reason. I've gone through my settings to ensure the box that blocks interuptions during data sessions is unchecked. I've made my active sync a manual operation. Yet I still miss 5 or 6 calls a day!
Any ideas?
And I'm not alone. There are others all over the Treo forums experiencing the same problem. Check here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=168727
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

I have sprint as well and have that issue. I always though it was because of the service provider. Please let me know what feed back you get with regards to this.

Calls going directly to voice mail

Since this morning I am not receiving calls - in testing the call rings once then goes to voice mail. I called Apple Support and was told to do a Reset, which took care of the problem for about an hour and now it is back.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I use my iPhone for business and this is very disruptive.
I upgraded to 1.1.3 last week - everything has been fine until today!!

People in the past had posted issues with call forward. After they had deactived this feature the calls were still being sent to the forwarding number. Have you used this feature? If so then you need to call AT&T to have it deactivated. If you have not used this feature I would still call AT&T since this appears like an issue one their end. Best of luck.

"open with" menu not showing in safari when having a pdf open. even when tabing the pdf in safari.....

As the title states....
In default settings when opening a pdf with safari and tabbing the page, there is a black bar (menu) on top of the pdf and it allows you to open in ibooks or open with another app....
I've noticed that with some (company) ipads this black bar is not available.... probably this is a security setting of some sort? But I can't seem to find it anywhere...
anyone any idea what I need to change?
Thanks a bunch !

Its old code from the menu maker that I havent updated (bought their update).
Save your money. AllWebMenus are notoriously bad. You would be much better off replacing what you have now with a good CSS Menu.
Some CSS Menu Systems to look at:
