• All of a sudden I can't open attachments to emails. I get a message that the 'security settings' do not allow. Where are these settings and who put?

  I use TWC (Time Warner Cable) as my server e-mail and Firefox as my browser. I went to my emails and has attempted to open an attachment and got an error message stating "security settings prevent the download file. Well, I contacted TWC, Norton and my PC settings. It seems that Firefox is the problem! If I use another browser ie: Google and go to my email account, I have no problem. I remember recently that Firefox did a download of updates and this may be the cause of the problem.

  Thank you for your private message with the error text: "your current security settings do not allow this file to download."

  Firefox partially integrates with Internet Explorer security settings for download purposes. You can realize your Internet Explorer settings to the 'Internet' zone by following the steps described in this answer to Microsoft forums:

  Note: Traditionally, the Internet Options dialogue box was available in the Control Panel, as well as in IE. Not sure about Windows 8.1.

• I can't open attachments Yahoo mail, but can in Internet Explorer. Tried all of the suggested fixes and nothing works.

  I tried all that on the previous thread for the same problem and I can not open attachments. I have no problem with attachments in Internet Explorer. It looks like a problem of FireFox for me.

  Whuch suggestions did you try? Here are two recent threads, I found:

  • Firefox 977835/questions/977835 used to download all attachments from yahoo, all other downloads work email
  • / issues/978924 Cannot open the pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

  Have you tried /questions/977835? page = 2 #answer-506091 (change the parameters of 'Complete' to 'Basic')?

  Are you accessing Yahoo Mail directly from https://mail.yahoo.com/ instead of via a bookmark? Edit: I see already suggested this and linked to another thread, philipp/issues/971042

• Smartphones blackBerry "BOLD": cannot open attachments to emails or send emails

  I have the "BOLD" and it works very well for a month. Then, I got my Peral (an old that I dropped in the snow) to finally turn it back on and used the Fund Manager to transfer my contacts and settings of my "BOLD". Once I did that I can no longer use my "BOLD" to send emails or open attachments to emails. I get e-mails very well however. When I try to open the attachments I get the message "cannot perform more demand. Service book information not found ".

  First of all, what is the book of service? because I saw another post saying try to reset but I don't know how I could go about this.

  Secondly, any ideas on what I could do to make it work again? Is there a system restore? Or restore default settings to get rid of the changes I made when you use Desktop Manager to update my settings?

  Thanks for any help!

  Hello

  On the Blackberry will first of all for advanced options options-host routing tables-press menu key and select Register now.

  You will receive an activation message. You are now properly registered with the network.

  The next thing is to send service directories. A service book contains information that configures the interaction between smartphone BlackBerry with the BlackBerry Infrastructure. It also allows specific services for your BlackBerry device.

  In the Blackberry, use the email Setup icon and log in with your username and password and send service directories.

  The attached link has pictures to show you how. You will receive an activation e-mail for each account that you have configured on your device.

  You should now be able to send and receive emails and open attachments. Test it to make sure it works.

  If you find that you can send and receive but not to open attachments, the second link will show you how to reset

  your Blackberry attachment service.

  Thank you
