View .tif attachments on iphone

Is there a way to view .tif mail attachments on iphone? When an email is pushed from my yahoo account to my iphone I can't open this type of file. also, I have tried logging in to yahoo mail through Safari, still no luck. other files such as jpegs have not been a problem. Please help

Interesting - I just emailed a tif to myself (as a .tif, then I noticed that the iPhone specs page lists .tiff, not .tif, so even though both extensions refer to the same file format, I tried .tiff as well). In both cases, when I tapped the attachment in the email, I got the spinning wheel, not the image (waited nearly a minute for a <50 KB image).
Then, I tapped the Reply arrow at the bottom, and since Save Image was an option, I tapped that. In the Camera Roll, I could see a fragment of the tif image. When I returned to the emails, I could view the tif (and tiff) images inline in the emails. So, I then sent a different tif to myself, and this time, when I tapped on the attachment it downloaded and opened normally.
Seems to be a bug, hopefully this workaround will help you...

Viewing mail attachments on iphone 3g

i sync with outlook and am unable to view email attachments (word, powerpoint, excel or pdf). how is this done?

You should just tap on the attachment and it will open.

Why can't I download or open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?

Why can't I open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?
Tap to Download icon flashes but does nothing.

I just hooked this thing up to my computer and was able to load new apps and update via the app store that way, installing them onto the iPad via sync. Very annoying though as I cannot make in app purchases etc still.
Wish apple wouldn't pull this kind of junk.

Unable to view PDF attachments from my iPhone.

I am using service called RightFax this service is send the faxes to clients mailboxs. I have been reported from clients that they are unable to view the attachmentson their iPhones, the attachment format is PDF. The attachment can be openned from any desktops and Android phones without any issue.
i can see attachment from on my iPhone but when i tab on it to view it it just scrolled up to the top of the mail. Also if i farward the same fax mail to my self then i can view the attachment.The IOS version is 7.1.
I contact the RightFax company to check with them why only attachments from fax mails with PDF format is not openning from iPhone devices from the first time, the company check theur services and do tests and reply me that there is no issue with their services since the PDF attachments are openned on android and desktops. They informed me that it might could be compatability issue between Exchange 2013 and apple that doesn't allowed PDF attachments to be openned from the first time, so they advised to contact Apple support to find out why PDFs are not openning when i initially attempt to download them.
I download third party mail client on my iPhone and all fax attachments are openned without problem.
Could anyone help me with this strange issue ??

RightFax advised you to contact Apple Support - this is NOT Apple Support but rather a public user to user technical support forum.
As far as I know, it is not possible to open PDF attachments on an iPhone, but it is on an Android phone, which is why you are having the problems - unless there is an app to help you that you can purchase in the app store, then there is not a lot you can do about this, except switch to an android phone, but as far as I know, you have never been able to open PDF documents on an iPhone.

Not sure but maybe some exotic compression? Where did you get
that TIFFs
and how they were prepared?

How can I open TIF attachments on IPad?

I have IOS 4.2.1 on my IPad. I cannot open TIF attachments on mail, even though I am able to do so on my IPhone 4. The setting to upload remote images is on. Any ideas?

Search for "Large Viewer" app.

Cannot view email attachments unless....

I have been experimenting sending various word and Excel sheets as attachments and opening them in Mail on the iPhone.
The documents I send without an extension in the filename ( .doc or .xls) cannot be viewed on the iPhone, but if I send the same file and add the appropriate extension, it is viewable as noted in the user guide.
Are others noting this effect? Seems too "Windows-like", haha.
Bill

I have tested more file types, and get same result. That is, to view attachments in iPhone mail the sender must have the appropriate extention on the file name, eg. .xls .doc .pdf ........

Cannot view email attachments after ios update

I have an ipad3 and just downloaded ios 8.2. Now, when I view emails I cannot view the attachments. Is there something I need to change? I checked up storage and still have 35GB left.

Hi, Grumpy Girl.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to view email attachments on your iPad. Try forcing all open applications to close and restart the device. Once this is done, see if you are able to view the attachments.

How can i download or open email attachments on iphone 6

Hi,
How can I download or open email attachments on my iphone 6. attachments like excel, word or pdf files.
Bichitra

Hello Bichitra84,
You should be able download and view most attachments from within the Mail app on your iPhone. All you would need to do is tap on the attachment to download it and then tap it again to view it. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Viewing PDF documents on iphone and ipad

Hey, I just ran across something that makes no since to me so maybe some of you have ran across it before.
My son-in-law just sent me a PDF document that opens and is filled out completely but on his iphone and ipad it shows up as a blank document
I resent him the form that I can read but when he opens it the form is blank. If he selects quick look the form fills out and can be view. I would believe it has to be a setting because the form can be viewed on both my iphone and my daughter's iphone, but not on his.
The form was emailed.
He and I are using a iphone 5 and my daughter is using an iphone 6,
When the same email is viewed on the ipads it shows up as a blank document until you select Quickview then the form fills in and can be viewed.
I would believe it to be some setting but I can find nothing that is different on his phone than mine.
Any suggestions.

If he can read the form when he selects Quicklook, that's a new one on me. That has never, ever worked for me. Form fields have never been visible as attachments in the built in Mail app on any iOS device that I have ever owned. he needs to download a real PDF reader app in order to view, edit, sign, etc. form fields. Tell him to download Adobe Reader which is free and it gives him all of that functionality. Other pdf apps will do the same things, but Adobe Reader is free.
it's tough to beat free and functional.

List View in ios8 on iPhone only shows 1 year

List view in ios8 on iPhone only shows 1 year. Earlier events are there, and you can see them in other views, but not in List View. Any ideas?

OK, I solved it. Here is the solution if you have precisely the problem I had.
1. On the iOS device: delete the iCloud account.
2. Go to the Apple ID website and make sure the ONLY email there is the me.com email and that it is set as primary. If you Mac.com email is listed as a secondary email THIS will cause the problem. So delete the Mac.com email.
3. Log back in to iCloud on the iOS device.
Only you wanted to use the Mac.com address and not the me.com one, you could follow the above instructions just swapping me and Mac.

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

I think there may be more to this question than you say.
If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.

View numbers on the iPhone

I just switched over to mavericks and I'm using the new numbers. I created a new spreadsheet and it's stored in dropbox. Now I'm trying to view it from my iphone and I can't. What's going on? Thanks.

Try moving the document to iCloud.
If you activate iCloud on your Mac and on the iPhone you will find that documents sync back and forth very well and open directly in the Numbers app.
