Excel files sent from macbook viewed on iPhone

When an employee emails an excel file from a PC laptop, I have no problem viewing it on my iPhone. When an employee emails the same excel file from a macbook, I cannot view it. What should I do?

Could be something really simple like no file extension. iPhone may not know what to do with it if it doesn't say ".xls" or ".xlsx".

The email sent from macbook do not appear in my iphone and yahoo account

the email sent from macbook do not appear in my iphone and yahoo account

thanks for your help... I was feeling frustrated because the sync problem, but with your suggestion all contacts are now on my iPhone. _Thanks once again_.
I think that I was asking two different questions at the same time, because the problem with the iPhone synchronization was solved, but the .Mac Address Book still has no new contacts... just the contacts before the Mac OS X update to Leopard. I guess that I will need to look for help in other discussion topic.

I cannot Open EXCEL files transferred from my old HP laptop.

I am unable to open EXCEL files transferred from my HP LapTop. How to resolve?

The forum for MBP:

Maybe if you try export first....?
Vista has its own ownership permission flags. Maybe if you modify the file or a copy first, and then copy.

I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iPhone 5?

I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iphone 5?????
Is there anyone to help me?
Thanks in advance.

This should work, how did you do? Explain ‘I can’t transfer my files’. You are in the new mac, the older mac is connected via wl network or eth, it is detected and mounted, and does not work?
Firewire would be better, probably with a 400-to-800 fw adapter (6 to 9 pin).

Hi hosoriol,
You can refer an excel as an external table first using the steps below and then you can start reading from it.
If you want to update the excel file then create an view and create instead of triggers for it.

Illustrator CC 2014 can't open files sent from Draw.

Illustrator CC 2014 v18.0.0 (just installed today, 11/6/2014): I can't open files sent from Adobe Draw. The files send from Draw OK, but in Illustrator—which finally opens as advertised—I get an error message, i.e. The file "Dog - Drawing 1.draw" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened. This goes for all of my work, whether created in Ideas then opened recently in Draw, or files created in Draw from scratch.

Illustrator files (.ai or .pdf) that I save using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine on our network server. I try to open them on Mac.
'The File "x.pdf" is an unknown format and cannot be opened'
This may in some way be related to accessing the file over the server since when I transfer the file to my lcal drive I don't get the same error. I still can't open the file but I get an error near the end of the opening process :
"Could not read the file because the plug-in made an invalid request of the Photoshop adaptor"
Again, I can open this file using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine.

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

Transfer video from macbook pro to iPhone iOS 8

how to transfer video from macbook pro to iphone 5S IOS 8, anyone?

Hi hjmdsalleh,
You typically use iTunes to sync your content to your iPhone.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
If you are having problems syncing some videos, they may not be in the correct format.
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
Take care,

Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

I have recently bought a second I phone4 and have the same apple ID on both of them, strangely I noticed the messages sent from one phone appearing the other one along with any pictures I sent from one of my Iphones. Is it possible to see the same msgs.

You need to setup different Receive At addresses for iMessage.
If you don't want the same pics on each, turn off PhotoStream.

Differentiate file uploaded from explorer view in SharePoint

Hello,
I am working on event receiver which on item adding updates few fields of document in library if those are not empty. The code is working fine in new file, drag and drop but in explorer view, I am not getting afterproperties values except two default field
values (vti_parserversion and vti_filesize). But in updating event we are getting those values.
Is there any way to differentiate file uploaded using explorer view in event receiver? So that I can work on updating in case of explorer view.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to differentiate file uploaded from explorer view in SharePoint 2013.
I made a test in my environment, both the two ways(“new document” or “Open with explorer” ) to upload document, the AfterProperties only contains two default field values(vti_parserversion and vti_filesize) in
ItemAdding method in event receiver.
There are two steps occur when uploading a file to document library, the file is uploaded in the first step, then the list item properties will be modified in the second step.
So, it is recommended to update the fields of document in ItemUpdating
method in event receiver.

I am unable to open attachments (Word Documents, Excel file, Adobe) from my Gmail with Firefox.

You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
application/pdf
Acrobat Portable Document Format
Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
(in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
Good luck & happy computing!
