Why can't i open attachments?

Why am I unable to open attachments on my HP touchsmart? I have microsoft word.

Hi,
What is the version of your MS Word ? What is the file type of the attached file(s). Older Word version needs Compatible pack to open documents created from newer Word versions.
Regards.

  • Why can't I open attachments after updating Adobe reader to Adobe 11?

    I get "unknown error" when Thunderbird attempts to save an attachment, and therefore won't open.

  • Why can't I open all my emails, open attachments or send photos on my ipad anymore

    Why can't I open all my emails, open attachments or send photos on my ipad anymore. Sometimes it takes awhile for an email to open, other times they open without any incident. I can't seem to be able to email any photos anymore.

    It sounds like you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them.
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files at all. You will need to Export the Pages '08 files to Word .doc/x or use Pages '09 to open the Pages '08 files and resave them.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 older Pages files can not be opened in previous Pages.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email

    Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email.  I did not have this problem before

    What is your operating system?
    What is your email client?
    What is your Reader version?
    What exactly means "can't"?
    Does this happen for any attachments, or just PDF files?

  • HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

    Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

    Hello...
    I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
    Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
    Here was my process in a nutshell:
    ~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
    ~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
    ~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
    as often throughout this process.)
    ~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
    ~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
    ~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
    ~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
    I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
    Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.

    Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
    Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

  • Why can't I open a lot of documents since yosemite. They are in grey

    Since I installed the last version of OS X on my Ipad, I could not open a lot of documents on my Mac. I thought this problem would be solved when I would install Yosemite on my mac but this is not the case.
    Why are so many documents in grey and why can't I open these documents on my mac with yosemite ?

    Tell your friend to go to bit.ly to create a 'short URL' for that address.
    They can send you that & you shouldn't have to worry about the SMS or any other messaging size limitations.
    NOTE: there are many other URL shortener services…

  • Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite?

    Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite? In the previous OS, I could highlight many links at a time, right click and then select "Open URL" to open the links in Safari. Now, if I select more than five links at a time (and sometimes with five links) it will only open the first five and TextEdit pops up with the alert, "The 'Open URL' service could not be used."
    I'm running 10.10.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 500 GB HD.
    TextEdit is Version 1.10 (319).

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Why can't I open a Adobe PDF file sent to me by e-mail as an attachment?

    Why can't I open a Adobe PDF file sent to me by e-mail as an attachment?

    I don't know. What exactly happens? (Exactly - including all error messages in full please) What is your computer (e.g. Windows 7), browser, and email program?

  • I have a mac 10.6 system when using firefox, I can no longer open attachments or downloads. I deleted firefox and reinstalled and it still doesn't work.

    When using firefox, I can no longer open attachments, pdf or downloads. A new window will open and it is blank. The only way to open an attachment or pdf is to shut down firefox and use safari. Everything works with safari so I can't understand what went wrong with firefox. I even download adobe reader thinking that would help. I then deleted my original firefox and re downloaded firefox again. It still doesn't work.
    I am using a 10.6 operating system on my Mac.

    Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

    Why can't I open a pdf file on my desktop?  I have Adobe Reader and running OS 10.10.1  I keep getting the same message: "Adobe Reader could not open '8pdk_96_4.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."

    I tried that.

  • What is a .pkf and why can't I open it?

    Newb here,
    I am working in Audition for the first time (by employer's request).  I was given session files as .pkf files from work but have no idea how to open them at home.
    I have searched through all of the previous forum entries, help folders and google to no avail.  I have a deadline to meet and am getting nowhere closer.
    So in summary,
    What exactly does a .pkf file hold?  Session info? Audio?
    Why can't I open it in Audition if it was created by it?  How do I open it?
    Any info would be very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to read my request!
    (also, let me know if this is the wrong place for this)

    THANK YOU!!!
    You have provided me information that I couldn't find after countless hours of searching everywhere imaginable! 
    I'll go contact my employer right now.  I have all the audio files but no session files (sesx) that would contain all the range markers I need.
    Thanks again!

  • Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
    I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
    So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
    Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
    Please help!
