When clicking on an attachment to an email, it will only save rather than save or open. How can I change the setting to allow me to open an attachment before deciding whether or not to save it?

There is a dialog box that appears when I click on an email attachment that asks whether to open or save a .pdf document, and whether I always want that action to be taken. However, when clicking a .doc or .docx document, I no longer have the choice. How can I revive the dialog box to choose to 'open' the file rather than being forced to 'save' the file?

Try to clear the cache.

You can rename such files with a .html file extension and give them a .jpg file extension to make applications see them as an image.<br />
If Windows is stubborn and keeps the .html file extension and you end up with image.jpg.html then add quotes around the name ("image.jpg")

  • Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.

    Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks 10.9.1. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.
    I am having trouble locating such files as PDF's INDD, AI etc. When I view all hidden files and try to open it in the program..it looks like it is really not on the drive. Has anyone come across a solution?

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

  • HT3228 everytime I open my e-mail on my I phone I get the same messages delivered as new even if i have previously deleted them. How can I change the setting to where when I delete them off my handheld they do not reload

    I have a problem with e-mail--everytime I open or push my e-mail I get the same messages delivered over again even if I have deleted them previously. is there a setting I can change that once I delete them they are gone?

    Without more info, we can only guess, but most likely you're using a POP server account, and have it set to leave the email on the server after downloading (in order to make it available to other devices/clients).  When you delete the email from your inbox, it just gets re-downloaded.
    The solution is to set the account to delete the email from the server as soon as downloaded to your device.  On the phone: 
    Settings > Mail,.... > your account > Advanced > Incoming Settings > Delete from server > When removed from inbox.
    If you access mail with multiple devices, you should use an IMAP account.  POP accounts are designed for one client only.

  • How can i change the automatic ID that apppears in my iPhone where in fact itis not my apple ID in the first place?

    how can i change the automatic ID that apppears in my iPhone where in fact it is not my apple ID in the first place?

    The automatic ID DaintyDaisy is talking about is when you go to your app store and it shows you as logged in under a certain Apple ID, and asks you for the password to log in.  If this is not the correct Apple ID, then we (including me!!!) need to know where to go to re set it.  I followed some other discussions and one link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796  shows you how to sign out, but when the Apple ID is greyed out, it doesn't help!!! Typical Apple world... get tangled and suffer for endless hours trying to fix one problem... but there is a million more to fix (like getting the righ App to download pictures from one's iPhone).

  • I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I guess you mean one of the resume templates.
    What "format" have you saved your finished resume in?
    The only formats a Windows user will be able to open are .doc (Word), .pdf and rtf. The 1st 2 are usually the best.
    There is no Windows version of Pages.

  • When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Question
    When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
    If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

  • I inadvertenly clicked on HD when purchasing a season's pass for a tv show, In the midst of the download of the first episode I discovered my mistige.  How can I change the purchase to SD before it downloads any more episodes?

    I inadvertenly clicked on HD when purchasing a season's pass for a tv show, In the midst of the download of the first episode I discovered my mistige.  How can I change the purchase to SD before it downloads any more episodes?

    Apologies if this is an off-target question, but had you bought the HD season originally or just the SD version?
    The reason I ask is that I have had similiar difficulties with the autodown load and when I check for available downloads on season passes, it says all downloaded.
    Then, when I go to the store and search for the season, it first brings up the HD season indicating I would need to make a new purchase, but if I select on SD, there are my purchases and I can freely (and manually) download the latest episode without new cost.
    Needless to say, neither of us should have to go looking. Here is the iTunes technical support email: <[email protected]>. I encourage you to email them. I have already done so but I think it helps for anyone with this problem to also do so, so that they will realize it is a wider spread issue and not a human error by a single user.

  • In Pages when I go to FIND how can I change the highlight colour of the found word?  At the moment it is a very pale grey and not easily seen.

    In Pages when I go to FIND how can I change the highlight colour of the found word?  At the moment it is a very pale grey and not easily seen.

    Well, it might depend on the nationality of your keyboard, but on my US keyboard, the tilde ("squiggle") is above the TAB key; on a Mac, ⌘-TAB cycles through the active applications and ⌘-tilde cycles through the windows in the front application.
    When you do a Find, Pages selects an instance of your search text (the next one after the current selection, I think, but I didn't check that). It doesn't make the document window the front window, though. If you click in the window to bring it to the front, it moves the selection (or insertion point) to wherever you click unless you click on or above the ruler. Try clicking at the top of the document window after you do a find; say somewhere near the document name. Now you should see the highlighted selection (your search text). If you click back on the Find window, the selection will go grey again, unless you hold ⌘ down while clicking.

    You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
    In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
    If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
    Do this from the Windows Desktop:
    If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose

    Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.
