Unzipping files sent from email

I feel like this is a stupid question but do i need to download a program in order to unzip a file that was sent to me that I am now trying to open on my MacBook Pro? I can't seem to open the file - or at least launch the application within the zipped file. Thanks!

Download & install this free utility called StuffIt Expander - 2010.

  • 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.

  • I am unable to read signatures on PDF files sent from my Los Angeles office - they use windows, any solution?

    I am unable to read signatures on PDF files sent from my Los Angeles office - they use windows, any solution?

    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.

  • How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • Pdf file sent via email attachment gets a webloc extension

    Someone sent an email with a pdf attachment to our entire school via our google mail account. People with PCs were able to open the pdf files. Mac users received the pdf files with a webloc extension (i.e. - filename.pdf.webloc) and were unable to open it. How did this happen and how can we prevent it from happening again? I had 2 of the pdf files on my mac (one of which I created) and they did not have a webloc extension. Any help would be great. Thank you!!

    Hi Kappy.
    I tried that and received a message from Adobe Acrobat that read "Adobe Reader could not open 'Absentee Ballot.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).
    Since we have 300+ families who receive these emails and I don't know who has a mac and who doesn't I would rather be able to send the pdf attachments and prevent the webloc from being applied at all versus letting everyone know how to remove it once they receive it.
    Thanks for replying.

  • IMac can no longer open .jpg .jpeg & other media files sent from PC?

    I can no longer open .jpg photos & media files sent to my iMac from my wife's PC through Outlook email. I get an error message saying the item cannot be opened. All other recipients have no trouble opening these attachments. We have tried numerous fixes suggested by Apple chat sites but to no avail. I suspect an OS update around December 2010 has caused this problem on not just our machine but thousands of other iMac users & Apple is ignoring it. Why isn't Apple addressing this huge issue?

    Likely, because there are millions of Mac users, and not everyone is experiencing this issue.   Until it happens to all Mac users with a specific system, it will be very difficult to isolate the cause.
    You can sign up for a free online developer account:
    http://developer.apple.com/
    And you can post here your bug report:
    http://bugreporter.apple.com/
    Attachments may need to be encoded a specific way with Outlook to be readable by Mac OS X Mail.
    You can also try reading those messages with Thunderbird, or another Mac e-mail client.  To find other Mac e-mail clients, search the software search engines here*:

  • Can't print jpg files sent in emails - they're autosaved as HP MediaSmart photos

    when someone sends me a .jpg file in an email, it comes thru as HP MediaSmart photo, and the only options are for "play". "rotate", edit or trash. There are no options for printing or saving. And you can't right click. So I can't accept any .jpg files sent to me.

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot print jpg files sent in your emails. With your HP Officejet 9620, on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this issue for you!  I am assuming you have the HP Officejet 8620, as I cannot seem to find a HP Officejet 9620 online. If this is not your printer, please post your printer's Product/Model Number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. According to this guide, Using HP MediaSmart Software Photo Features, you should be able to print your photos by doing the following:  For home printing, just select the photos you’d like to print with HP MediaSmart Photo’s drag-and-drop print option. With one easy click or touch, you can add your print-ready photos to your printing queue. To print your photos from HP MediaSmart Photo, click Print Photos on the bottom of the MediaSmart Photo window. Click the album or slideshow from which you would like to print, and then click the add photo icon for each photo you would like to print. With the Print Picture controls, you can zoom in or out on the image, and move the image left-right or up-down to change the composition.If you change your mind about printing certain photos, click and drag the photo to the trash can or click Clear All to remove all the photos from printing. I would also recommend our HP Print and Scan Doctor, if you are unable to print from other programs as well.  Hope this is helpful, and thank you for posting!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • Why can't I open pdf file sent by email?

    I recently installed Word 2007. I couldn't open a pdf file sent to me by Hotmail email and using Explorer 9. If I download it in open/save I can open it but can't open it as an email.
    I have Acrobat and even reinstalled it because I heard I should do that to make sure it was installed properly. Should I purchase something to help this problem?
    Please, help
    Thank you,
    Apadana

    Don't know why you would uninstall Acrobat. I assume you must have another PDF reader if you don't want Acrobat installed (for whatever reason). If you do not have another reader, you will not be able to read the PDF. On a MAC, you could use the Preview, but a PC does not have that option. On a PC, the reading of a PDF depends on the settings of both your OS and the mail package. It is not clear what happens when you try to open the PDF, or even how you are trying to open it. Hard to help when we don't know what you tried to do. Sorry.

  • Problem in opening of word and excell files downloaded from email attachment in MS office professional 2013 paper licence

    Hi,
    I am facing the problem in opening the word and excel files received through email in my MS office professional 2013 paper licence, Microsoft Windows 8.1 enviornment. please help in this matter

    I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files.  They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
    However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
    Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
    Very strange.
    Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??

  • Why the receiving party received iMessage from me but displayed as sent from email address

    When sending SMS through iMessage, why is it that the receiving party received the SMS as being sent from my email address instead of my mobile number

    I have iPhone 4 iOS 5.1; I've been trying figure out how to make it so iMessage sends from my phone number and this is what finally worked for me:
    First, I went to Settings>>Messages>>Receive At
    Then, from there I logged out of the apple id by tapping on my email address and selecting "Sign Out." Now, in the place of where my email address was is the text "Use your Apple ID for iMessage." From here, I returned to "Messages," and next to "Receive At" my phone number was displayed.
    After following these steps I am able to send messages from my phone number, instead of from the email address associated with my apple id.
    The following things did not work for me:
    I have tried signing out from my apple ID via Settings>>Store but this did not work. I have tried setting my Caller ID as my number, but this didn't do anything (i.e. iMessages were still being sent via my email address). I have tried changing the aforementioned items and restarting my iPhone in various ways. The only thing that worked is what I mentioned above.

  • How do i find a .mp4 file downloaded from email to my iphone

    How do i find a .mp4 file downloaded from my gmail email to my iphone. Unable to locate the file or maybe not sure how to go about it?

    You don't, as ringtones are a one time purchase and as such can't be redownloaded.
    If you still have them on your iTunes library, you may sinc them from there.
    If you have a backup that contains them, you may restore your phone from that backup.
    Or you can go to expresslane.apple.com and try for a re-issue. Which they do only occasionally and depending on the circumstances.
