Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is
Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Mail Format tab.
3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

  • Two different site collection cannot use the same Term Set . Is there any solution for this ?

     I can save department site collection as site collection template. Also I can use this template for a new department site collection creation.
    But Managed Meta data Navigation throws the following error
    •Error loading navigation: The Managed Navigation term set is improperly attached to the site. (Correlation ID: 6fa6b19c-820a-001d-b9e0-d939d702050a)

    Hi ,
    this is a limitation. please refer this
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/sharepoint/en-US/029b7e2e-661f-4ac3-bfcb-eb99b43016f2/the-selected-term-set-is-already-used-by-another-site
    Unfortunately in SP 2013, a termset can only be used by a single site collection for navigation. This is a known limitation. There is no out of the box way to use a central termset to manage navigation across site collections. You need to develop a custom sitemap
    provider to do that.
    Another way to do this is to create termset for each site collection and reuse/pin the terms from the central termset instead of creating duplicate terms. You can script this easily using Powershell. This has some limitations though.
    Also, you can try little customization. Follow this link -

  • HT4199 The screen is freezing when i am mirroring a video from my mac to LCD TV via Apple TV? Are there any solutions for this problem?

    Anybody can help?

    One area to troubleshoot is to check the amount of bandwidth that you have available for mirroring. Starting with your Apple TV; which generation is it? What is the make and model of your wireless router? Is the Apple TV in the same room as the router, different room, or different floor? How about your MacBook Air when you are attempting to mirror to the Apple TV?

    I bought iPhone 3GS(Used) recently and updated ios 6.1.3 my iPhone is taking blurry Pictures through basic default Cam app.Can anybody please let me know any solution for this?

    Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • Primarily using the ipad air as an art portfolio but photos i upload in order get rearranged. other than changing the date they were shot, is there any solution to this? can they be reorganized in iphoto on the ipad?

    primarily using the ipad air as an art portfolio but photos i upload in order get rearranged. other than changing the date they were shot, is there any solution to this? can they be reorganized in iphoto on the ipad?

    You are welcome.
    Sorting and organizing photos on IOS devices is one of the things that really need to be improved. It looks like the developers simply did not expect the users to want to keep large photo libraries on an IOS device, where the ordering would matter. I'd send feedback to the developer team, so that they see, what the users want and need:
    You can use this form:  Apple - iPhoto - Feedback

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • If I switch to iCloud, Outlook for Mac is not synchronizing with iCal and iCloud anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?

    I normally use Outlook for Mac as the standard email and calendar programm. When I use the USB cable fro synchronising contacts and calendars with my iPhone 4s ther is not problem at all. iCal, Mail and Oulook for Mac are synchronising perfectly.
    When I switch to iCloud, Oulook is completely empty and Calendar and Contacts are not synchronised anymore.
    Is this a known problem, and is there a solution for it?

    I have the same keyboard and do not have battery issues.
    It may have something to do with using rechargeable batteries.
    You can also try removing the keyboard then re-pairing it. Maybe a bad bluetooth connection is draining the battery.
    System Preferences > Bluetooth > right-click (control-click) on the keyboard > Remove > Remove
    Wait for it to show in the bluetooth list then Pair > enter the number sequence & return as displyed on the screen.

  • I'm using iA Writer on my new iPad. I've opted to store doc's from this app on iCloud. Now I'm unable to access iCloud and retrieve my doc's so I can continue writing. Needless to say this is very frustrating. Is there a solution for this issue?

    Please, need help. I'm using iA Writer. I opted to store doc's on iCloud and now I find I'm not able to access iCloud in order to retrieve said doc's. A solution to this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Satya

    iA Writer on iDevice: 
    Look at the Storage List, there should be an iCloud entry (along with iPad/iPod/iPhone, and Dropbox).  Choose iCloud to get a list of documents.
    To write a new file:  Be sure to have iCloud chosen in Storage.  Create new doc, write and click on the Storage list.  File is written to iCloud.
    iA Wrtier on Mac: 
    Write file and save locally, then choose: File>iCloud>Move to iCloud.
    To read a file:  File>iCloud>[choose file name]
    I should add that files read by iA Writer must be files created by iA Writer, either on same device/computer or another.
    -- OR --
    I may have misunderstood your post.  If my ipad is not connected to the internet, I can still open a file I had saved on iCloud (only this is the "local" copy of it).  When I'm done, it's saved locally but when I turn on wifi and access the file again and then press the Storage List icon, the file is saved to iCloud.  Are you saying that you can't open a local copy when not connected to wifi?

  • My new iPhone 4S has hearing problem.speaker and headphone works very good.However using handset to make and receive calls I cannot hear anything?I did restore the phone and removed the plastic.Is there any solution to this problem please?

    I am having heraing problem with iPhone 4S.Speaker and headphone works well.No echo.When I use handset to receive or make calls,I can't hear anything?I restore the phone and removed the plastic as well.Is there anyway to fix this problem?

    I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
    Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
    Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
    But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
    Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

  • My iPod Touch 4G (black) is constantly crashing after a few months of using iOS 5.0.1. Are there any solutions to this?

    Okay, so i have been using the iOS 5.0.1 for a while now, and a few months ago it was working very smoothly, and i was very happy with it because of its new additions. However for the last few weeks, my iPod touch started to lag, especially when i use the facebook app and safari. When I use facebook, safari, or any of my apps, they will crash in under 5 minutes. It has been driving me insane... I open up safari, open up a website, and there, a black screen, and it crashes! Or i open up facebook, try to put up a new status, or check my notifications, 2 seconds later, black screen, and crashes.
    I'm not sure if i want to restore my ipod because the last time i used restore, the apps were all over the place and a lot of information was lost in tht process.
    If i go to the apple store, will they be able to fix this or replace my ipod? if not, then i'd much rather throw this one out and buy a new one..
    But please, if there are solutions, please tell me!!! (i dont wanna waste another $300)
    Additional Information:
    -iPod Touch 4G
    - 32 GBs, 7.4GB free - audio = 4.9 GB, video = 7.3GB, Photos = 0.19GB, Apps = 7.8GB, Other = 1.16GB
    - Black
    - Capacity (said on ipod touch's itunes devices page) : 28.48GB
    - Software Version/iOS : 5.0.1

    Well, you could trade it in for a white one! 
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Help help help help. I just mistakenly deleted a Note from the Note App that I need.  I don't use iCloud. The only place I have the Note app is on my iPad and my iPod. What can I do? Is there any help for this?

    Help help help.
    I just deleted a note from the Notes App form my ipad3. I don't use iCloud. The only place this note was is my iPod and iPad. Is there any possible way to recover this note?????
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you sberman, yes the first thing I did was check my iPod. Instant synching works great between the iPad and iPod, so it was deleted there as well. On both devices I have my Notes account to the same account.
    I ashamedly have not synched to iTunes for ages. After I calmed down I realized that most of the info on that deleted Note I had copied and pasted from an excel file in November. I'm in the process of doing that again, and am only out the recent info.

  • Is there any solution for scanner functions in windows8 consumer preview yet? I use HP 8500A AOI

    HP 8500 AOI
    Toshiba Satellite P755
    Windows 8 Consumer Preview
    New Install of W8
    Want to know if there is a solution for scanner functions for the HP 8500 in W8.  I understand it is new beta OS and all drivers are not released yet.  I have no problem with printing, but scanner is not recognized from computer, computer not recognized from printer.  Have not found any solution in web search.  Thanks

    I suggest for you to wait for the Windows 8 full version to be released. The scanner function will be available then for sure.
    Works every time.
