Animated Gif showing OK in Mac Email Body but not the PC

Hello,
Not sure where to post this (MAC or PC Photoshop forum), but I will try here first.
I have an animated gif that is placed in a Microsoft Word Document and then Sent from there, as an HTML e-mail.
This guarantees that the animated gif shows up in the body, not as an attachment.
All is well on the mac side, but the PC just shows the first frame...The animation doesn't work.
Does anyone know why?
I have checked on Outlook 2003 and 2010...no animation.
Thanks

Hi Marian,
I agree 100%...Unfortunately, We want to add a little bit of animations to our evites..nothing extravagant, but many of our in-house folks and clients use Outlook. We initially started to use the Word option, because we didn't want the emails to be just background images, as there were other issues.... but we couldn't send them as attachments either, as we wanted the evite to be in the body when they opened the e-mail, not an attachment. If you have any other suggestions about how we could use an animated gif in the body of an e-mail to show up in outlook, I am all ears!!! Of course, like Jeffery points out, if Outlook won't play them anyway, then we simply can't do it. I just have to believe there is some way to do this that will work for outlook as well???
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

I think this is just the way things are.
I inserted an animated GIF in an Outlook 2003 eMail, for which I have configured Word 2003 to be the editor. It didn't animate while I was composing the eMail. I imagine this is because it's still a Word document at that point; it isn't converted to HTML until it's sent.
However, after I sent it (to myself), I can see the animation both in the preview pane of Outlook 2003 and if I double click the message to open it as an HTML message I see the animation as well. In Outlook, I have the following options set, which seem to be pertinent:

Artwork Shows up on Mac, iPad, iPhone, but not Windows

My main iTunes library resides on my home Mac. I access the library via an iPad Air, iPhone 5S, and a Dell PC running on Windows 7 Enterprise.
All of the songs have album artwork. All of the artwork shows up on the Mac, the iPad, and the iPhone. Much of the artwork does not show up on the Windows machine. The Mac & Windows box are running the most up-to-date version of iTunes.
I have tried enabling and disabling iTunes Match on the Windows machine. I've also completely uninstalled iTunes and removed all associated files from APPDATA, then reinstalle iTunes. No joy.
Our organization has a policy that doesn't permit the Bonjour service to run automatically. I have to restart it every morning when I come in. It used to be that restarting the Bonjour service and restarting iTunes would cause most, but not all, of the artwork to appear. Now that trick no longer works.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi there Kenneth Kirksey,
I see that you are seeing some issues with the song and album artwork in iTunes Match. I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue, and it can be found below:
Songs or albums are missing artwork
If some songs or albums downloaded to an iOS device from your iCloud library are missing album artwork:
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version for free.
Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu, choose Advanced > Get Album Artwork.
Once iTunes has completed processing the album artwork, you'll need to update iTunes Match.
From the iTunes menu, choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
Once iTunes Match has finished updating, launch the Music app on your iOS device.
Locate the songs that are missing artwork, and delete them from your device by swiping left over a song.
After you've deleted the song, download the item again from your iCloud library by tapping on the download icon.

Why does Angry Birds Rio 2 show up on my portable devices but not the iMac?

I have Angry Birds Rio on all my devices and the updates for Rio 2 have been downloaded on both the iPad and iPhone but it still is not showing up on the iMac. I know the updates for each device don't always come out at the same time but Rio 2 has been out for a while. How do I get it to show up on the iMac?

That was it! I had both versions on the iMac but the older one was on my dock and thus the one I kept opening. I removed the older version and put the 2.1.0 on the dock and all is good. Thank you!!

My calendar syncs only one direction (mac to iPhone) but not the other direction?

I used to run a sync of my iPhone and my newly entered appointments would sync both directions whether I had entered them on my iphone or on my mackbook PRO.
Now when I enter an entry on my phone it does not upload to my Mac Calendar. but if I entered the appointment on the MAC then it does sync to my iphone5.
Not sure if it changed after an ios upgrade or when. Tried it several times both wirelessly syncing as wel as with a USB cable.
Any ideas if this is a setting?

Greetings Mary,
If you are syncing using USB you can sync your iPhone to your computer which will update iCal with the iPhone's calendar. Then when you plug in your iPad and sync your iPad, it too will update with the same information from iCal.

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
Read this from a site I found:
Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

Edited gif file will work in a viewer, but not in email client

An animated gif file received in my email client, after editing will not work in the same email client, but is working properly in a browser. Further, the background in the altered gif is black in the email client instead of the non-pixelated file that was "saved for web."
I had received thsi working gif file and made changes to send the altered animation back, wherin I encountered this quirky littel issue.
Anyone had this problem or have answers to what's going on here?

Hi Ozkarleo,
Please post more information to make your question clear. What’s the type of project you are using? Universal app? Windows phone silverlight app?
The Sqlite libraries in runtime project are different with those in WinForm. But you have not mentioned what libraries you are using in runtime, so I assume you are using this common ones.
Sqlite for windows 8.1
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/1d04f82f-2fe9-4727-a2f9-a2db127ddc9a.
Sqlite for windows phone 8.1
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5d97faf6-39e3-4048-a0bc-adde2af75d1b.
One thing important you need note is that we have no access to the entire file system in runtime app, copy the file to local storage then use it.
A good sample you can get started with it. Get it form MSDN code gallery.

If you cannot make it working, please post more information about your scenario.

I have just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am looking for an email which I put into a folder on my Mac Pro. The smart folders have come across to the Air, but not the 'On my Mac' folders. Are they lost?

I have just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am looking for an email which I put into a folder on my Mac Pro. The smart folders have come across to the Air, but not the 'On my Mac' folders. Are they lost?

Are you sure that the "On My Mac" folders weren't empty? If all your mail accounts are IMAP, they may have been.

Table borders show up with Firefox or IE but not Safari (Win or MAC)

This very simple site (http://www.brandondean.net) has two table borders that show up under FF and IE but not Safari (either Win v4.0 or Safari for MAC, same result). I'm not an expert but I did the work using Dreamweaver 2004 MX as XHTML compliant, tested every page at W3C.org to make sure they comply with XHTML, and they do (except for my not putting in "alt" on images). I even downloaded Dreamweaver CS4 to run the "clean up the code" command and nothing is fixing the problem. I'm hoping someone out there has seen this before and can help us out. Thx.

Hi Gary,
It's probably just because the border widths you are specifying are too small (or WebKit is interpreting picas differently to Firefox/IE - I say WebKit as the same problem is visible in Google Chrome and that uses WebKit like Safari as well).
Try setting using this instead:
.borders {
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-variant: normal;
color: #cccccc;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #888888;
That seems to do the trick for Firefox and Chrome on this Linux machine I'm using at the moment.

I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory. It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

Question: I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory. It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images). You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer. If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it. If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
NOTE: If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

ITunes opens but without any text showing. Drop down menus have text but not the app itself. I have a Mac Powerbook Pro running Windows XP under Boot Camp.

Running under Windows XP, a few upgrades ago iTunes started opening without any text showing in the application. Clicking on PLAY will play music but no text shows to indicate what's playing and no text to show music library. Drop down windows show text but not the app itself.
Subsequent upgrades and reinstalls have not corrected the problem, When I run under iOS (Snow Leopard), iTunes opens with text and runs correctly.
Help!

Because I created FAT32 partition using Boot Camp tool few days ago I installed my custom copy of Windows XP with SP3, IE7 and WMP10 integrated using nLite (for WMP10 integration use RVM Integrator). I did not use Boot Camp tool this time - I just booted CD using Option key. Then I installed Boot Camp 2.0 drivers you can find on Mac Disk 1. After this I installed Boot Camp drivers 2.1 update. In Add or remove Programs I checked drivers - I uninstalled old drivers which call identical, but you can skip this. Everything works fine BTW it is better to format your partition to NTFS - you have much less disk errors, you do not waste time for disk errors scans during Windows startup, your data are much more safe. If you need NTFS write permissions use great tool Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX or open source NTFS driver.
