I also receive e mails that have excel (xls) files attached and I am unable to open them, Can anyone advise? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

How do you exactly mean: transferring files? Would you like to copy them to the machine with Vista?
And regarding the Excel (*.xls) files, you need Microsoft Excel which is in the Microsoft Office Package. That means if you have no Microsoft Office for Vista then you will need to purchase one to open and edit Excel files.
More information here: www,microsoft.com
Cheers

  • Have new MacBook Air and old MacBook. Can send file from Air to MacBook by Bluetooth but cannot transfer file from MacBook to Air.

    Have new MacBook Air and old MacBook (2 1/2 years old). Can transfer files from Air to MacBook by Bluetooth but cannot transfer file from MacBook to Air. When I try, MacBook does not recognize Air. File transfer only goes in one direction. Any solution to this problem? Regards

    The Setup Assistant can restore your data from a Time Machine backup. You'll be asked if you want to do this the first time you turn the computer on.

  • Transfer file from UNIX to windows application server G:\ drive

    Dear Expert,
    Really need some help on this, very urgent !
    The download program schedule in background to allow file store in unix.
    Can we do a unix command in abap program to transfer the file from unix to windows application server G:\ drive.
    The gateway for that application server is ukblmqg02.emea.astrazeneca.net .
    Anyone have the sample source code ?
    Thanks&regards

    Hi,
    1.
    There is  a FM 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT'.
    If the requirement need not necessarily require a FM to transfer a file, then you can also use transaction 'CG3Y' to transfer a file
    from application server to presentation server.
    2.
    Try to use FM  DOCFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT. I am using it to download a file from SAP application server to desktop.
    Source path should be application server file path along with file name i.e. /tmp/sample.xls.
    Target path should be something like c:\file.xls.
    Best regards,
    Prashant

    having trouble transferring files from macbook pro running os 10.6.7 to macbook pro running os 10.8. getting message to up grade migration assistant but cannot find upgrade

    The latest version of Migration Assistant is version 5 and should have been installed in you Utilities folder when you upgraded to version 10.8. Use the 10.8 version machine to migrate to and you should have no problems.

  • Program to transfer songs from iPod to Windows Vista computer.

    Hello, I was looking for a program that would take all of my music from my 5th gen. ipod video and put it on my computer that runs windows vista. I have found some programs, but I don't think any of them are compatible with Vista. Saying as i didn't see vista listed. Does anyone know of such a program that can do that? I dont mind if its not free either, I would prefer it to be haha. But if its not thats okay.

  • How Do I Transfer File from Mac to Windows?

    I have a 5GB video file on the Mac that I would like to transfer to a Windows laptop.  Windows can not read my external mac drive and a 5GB file is to large for a FAT drive.  Is there an easy way to do this?

    Thanks for the quick reply, I am not familiar with ExFat, but I do have Windows 7.  Will see if I can figure out how to do that then.  I have a 16GB flash drive that I can try this on with.  I assume ExFAT does not have the GB limit that FAT drives have then.

  • Can't open cp file from laptop with Windows Vista

    I created some files at work using XP and copied them to a jump drive. (Captivate 4)
    I've installed C4 at home using Vista on my laptop. I tried opening the cp files and none will open. C4 opens, but stays on the normal open page. I've copied them to the laptop drive and it still won't open them. I've tried opening by double-clicking the file, and by opening C4 and attempting to open them from within. Nothing. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, the Vista is 64 bit, the XP is not. Actually, I'm using the laptop to record new audio, so I don't have to get the audio from the XP machine. However, another problem has arisen and that it when I try to record in C4 on the laptop it doesn't work. It asks if I want to test and then nothing happens, the test window doesn't open, and then when I hit the record button again, nothing happens. I've downloaded Audacity and it records fine, so I'm going to save those files and import them. This has been one nightmare after another. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Just connect the drive to your Mac. The Mac can read most Windows formats (it cannot WRITE Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) formatted drives.

  • I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

    I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

  • HT201236 I want to do something so simple that there are no instructions. I just need to have two windows open at the same time so I can transfer files from one to the other by drag

    I want to transfer files from one device (or page ) to another by drag and drop , so i need two windows ope   at the same time,
    I know this can be done but I have forgotten how

    Don't use any full screen options for any app that has them
    Mount your device and double click on it to open it. Drag this window to the upper right of your Desktop and resize it to a bit less than half of your Desktop.
    Open the next folder and position it on the lower left side and resize it so you can still see the previous window.
