    double-click opens Excel Office 2011 for mac without the document.
    It should open the document in Excel 2010 for Windows.

  • PDF attachment does not open

    I have a Samsung i760 with Verizon Wireless. I am running Windows Mobile 6 Professional. I have installed Adobe Reader PPC 2.0, and the Reader application itself appears to work fine (appears in my Program list, I can open the program, etc.). I have my work e-mail (from an Exchange server)pushing to my phone, and my e-mail has been working fine. Every day, I receive a report via e-mail with a .pdf document attached. When I open this e-mail, and click on the .pdf attachment, it says "Downloading..." on the bottom of my screen, but the file never finishes downloading or opens up. The file is only "(12K)" according to the e-mail, so it should download fairly quickly, and then Adobe Reader should open up and display the file. Any ideas why this does not happen? It just says "Downloading" forever until I manually stop the download. Thanks.

  • ALI type attachment does not execute in UWL

    Hi Experts,
    We have successfully installed the SAP Office Notifications Inbox Connector (SONIC) for our Enterprise Portal (EP) and it is able to retrieve SAP Office Inbox items under "Notifications" tab of the UWL.
    There is just one problem. Some batch jobs defined under transaction code SM36, contains spool list recipients. The recipient will receive a copy of the spool output in their SAP Office Inbox, generated by SM36 after a batch run. The spool output will be in the form of an attachment of "ALI" (ABAP List) type extension sent as a notification to the SAP Office Inbox.
    This attachment can be executed successfully when this is accessed via SAPGUI or WEBGUI. However, should the user attempt to access it from UWL in EP, EP is not able to recognize the "ALI" ABAP list. Instead, an operating system pop up window appears requesting the user to select a program to open the "ALI" type file. In fact none of the desktop programs is able to interpret the "ALI" type file which is in binary mode.
    My question is, does EP's UWL with SONIC installed have the capibility to recognize an ABAP list type of attachment in a notification or is there some additional configuration that needs to be done. Please advise, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,
    You will have to examine the payroll log to see where in the schema the wage type is being dropped by the system.  Normall it is just a processing class that is not set correctly.

  • Cannot send email. When I click Write the window does not open properly. Does not have the "send, spelling, attach security save" line.

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995
    • Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

  • MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

    Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
    I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
    For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
    Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

    Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.  In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
    For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
    For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

    I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • Unable to upload files using firefox, be it dropbox, gmail or any other websites where we need to attach files. It does not open up a new window to choose file.

    all of a sudden im unable to attach files in any of the websites. Im using firefox version 30 and when I click to attach file it does not open up a new window where we can choose the file from my computer. It happens almost in all websites that I use (gmail, dropbox, other websites).
    This was not the case before, seem some problem with firefox.. can somebody fix this at the earliest. thanks

    hello Balaatmozilla,
    please check if this problem appears as well when you try to download a file, does this happen again when you try to download a file?
    if so there must be a problem with your HDD controler, to solve this issue follow th steps:
    1.Right Click on My Computer, Select Properties
    2.Click on Device Manager in Top Left corner
    3.expand the IDA/ATI/ATAPI controllers
    4.right click on the one which is related to your HDD
    5.click on Uninstall
    6.Restart
    when you restart your windows the OS will try to install the drivers again, if this happens then restart again and check if the problem is solved, if no try to install the HDD drivers and related drivers manually and then restart your machine

    I'm not sure this is similar to your problem but I had an issue once with opening word documents from the UWL and I think that the problem was that it was opened via ITS and ITS didn't not open word documents. try to set the links to open in winGUI and maybe than they will work.
    In the portal go to:
    Content Administration->Portal Content->Portal Users->Standard Portal Users->Universal Worklist->UWL - Launch SAP Transaction
    Under property category choose 'content - transaction' and set 'SAP GUI Type' to 'SAP GUI for Windows'.
    maybe it will help your problem as well.

  • In compose, the attachment popup does not open

    When composing, the attachment window does not open. Switch to Crome and it works. Switch back to Firefox and it works. Stays working for some days and then fails again.
    Ken

    Hi Ken, sorry about that unrelated reply.
    I'm trying to think of how giving the site a few days of rest could possibly help and nothing obvious is coming to mind...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

    The Adobe PDF printer is no longer available in Snow Leopard. This is an announce to this fact at the entrance to the Acrobat Macintosh forum. The old methods for doing what you want will not work in Snow Leopard. I recommend you look at Quite Imposing. It can do everything you want and more. Alas, it comes at a price.

  • Link to a file in the jsp page does not open correctly

    Hi all,
    I have a JSP application which is similar to a discussion forum and the messages usually carry a link to an attachment file which could be of any extension.
    The client pool I am dealing with are concerned only with MS Word/Excel/PPT files. When the user clicks on the file, a new browser window opens but it does not open the file in the correct application. I know that browsers can display Doc, ppt and xls files.
    In my case, the browser just shows some garbage. THe link is to the correct file, I know that because I can right click and download the file and then open it in the correct application. But I want browser to find the application and open the file.
    Can somebody give me hints as to what may be wrong?
    Also, I am in the development stage and therefore I have only 100 odd messages in the database. Many have attachements. But only one attachment to a particular message works well..ie the browser finds MS Word and displays the doc.
    Why not the remaining doc/ppt files?
    Help please!!
    Thanks in advance.

  • WebDynpro editor issue: Clicking on UI element does not open up defn in UI tree

    Hello,
    We are facing a strange issue with webdynpro editor on one of our SAP Landscape. In change mode when i double click on an UI element in webdynpro layout editor( SE80) the corresponding UI element definition does not open up in the left hand side ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER tree. This functionality works in our ERP system which is on a lower service pack.
    I recently discussed this problem with an onsite trainer ( from  SAP ) who suggested this feature was taken away in NW Ehp 7.3 onwards to avoid some javascript error in the webdypro layout editor. Can someone confirm this? I have already tried searching servicemarketplace without success. If this feature has been removed i dont want to waste time creating OSS note.
    Regards.

    We're experiencing the same behaviour since a couple of weeks. Did you already create a message to SAP ? If so I'll wait for you to post the feedback from SAP in answer to this message. If not I'll create one because it becomes hard finding your way in the navigation tree for large views...
    Kind Regards,
