Attachments received via Hotmail unreadable

I'll admit I'm a Mac virgin. I've had my MacBook Pro for less than a week. I finally got tired of 'blue screen ****' when my HP would crash. I was a Windows slave for more than .... well, a long time. Since I have migrated, I've had to knuckle under and get Office 2004 for Mac. Microsoft is no better at Mac software, I see. LOTS of bugs. But, I digress.
When I receive email via hotmail via Entourage or right at the hotmail web site, any video sent to me is not decoded. It remains a 'winmail.dat' file. So, what do I need to do to receive the video?

This indicates the sender is using Windows Outlook as their email client which is the cause of this problem.
See Dealing with the winmail.dat file: the problem and the solutions.
You can try using TNEF's Enough.

  • When sending email via hotmail on both iPhone and iPad, I receive message an error occurred while delivering this message

    WHy all of a sudden, today, I can no longer send emails (via hotmail) from both iPhone 5s and ipad 2? I receive message that says "an error occurred while delivering this message".  I have no problem sending emails from PC.

    *** solved ***
    You have to add another SMTP server as following steps:
    Just go to hotmail acount setting
    Then click on SMTP in outgoing mail server
    Then click add server
    Host name: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    User name: your email
    Password: your password
    So now you can send mail
    Thanks

  • New imac, I cannot send attachments via hotmail - Safari?

    I have a new iMac G5 and I now I am unable to download (or is it upload?) any file/attachments onto my hotmail or yahoo accounts. On hotmail, I cannot access the browser button. On yahoo, the message reads: "browser does not support attachments." Both of their customer supports say that it is my Safari browser and that it must be optimized. I do not know how to do this and I cannot get apple support to respond nor do I see it in manual. Please help!
    Also, I have tredi sendign photos via four of the big image sharing sites (webshots, snapfish, etc. ) and cannot; is this also because of a problem with my mac - incompatiblity? No error message son those sites but no progress either.

    I had the same problem and here is how I fixed it.
    I had traveled out of town (away from my ISP) and just now found out that when I travel away from my ISP I need to do the following:
    Go to mail preferences, click on accounts, go to outgoing mail service and click on that and edit the smtp server and click on the advanced tab.  Click on use custom port and put in 587.  Under authentication click on password. Now this should work the mail sending when you are away from your area (mine is roadrunner).
    Now, if you are home, you should do the above, but in the custom port put 25 and under authentication click on none.
    This fixed my problem.  Hope it helps you.

  • Cannot send email via Hotmail through port 587 with Secure Connection (SSL) set

    Something is blocking my attempts to send email (with Outlook Express) via my hotmail.com account. The error I receive is as follows:
    Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
    When Hotmail.com first changed over to a POP3 server (Sept 2009), I could send emails through them using port 587, which they require. But then something happened, with no changes on my part, to disable my ability to send.
    I have checked and rechecked my Outlook Express account settings. I can send email through another third-party mail account (at 1&1 Internet.com) using port 587, which does not require setting SSL to yes. I can also ping the Hotmail SMTP server via port 587 and receive a response from it.
    I connect to Verizon DSL via a Westell 327W modem/router. Clearly it is not blocking port 587 without SSL. Does it have the capability to block SSL traffic? Or is the Verizon server the culprit, not allowing emails to be sent via Hotmail.com?
    Two different computers on my LAN have the same problem sending emails via Hotmail.com. I have tried everything the Hotmail people have suggested; at this point they think it is an ISP problem, hence this post. This problem doesn't make sense to me and is driving me crazy. Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks.

    You can still have your reply address set to your hotmail address. And you don't have to really remember to do anything. Configure your client for the HOTMAIL account with Verizon's outgoing server. It will automatically send via Verizon. You don't reveal your verizon.net address, you are just using their server to transmit.

  • Can I use an external GPS Receiver via Bluetooth?

    Great phone.  I used a Galaxy Nexus for over a year until I got this phone, but once I started using the Z10, I never looked back.  The "Hub" is a GREAT feature, exactly what I use most of the time.  Oddly enough, I was never much of a BB fan until the Z10.
    Anyhow, I have bought several apps and accessories for the Z10.  I rely on my Z10 a lot.
    I still have (from my old Windows Mobile 6 phone days back several years ago) a perfectly working external GPS receiver that has Bluetooth (Holux GPSlim236).  Great little receiver.
    Since I often use my Z10 for GPS nagigation (I am using Mireo DON"T PANIC) for directions whilst riding my motorcycle all day long, with Bluetooth enabled to my helmet, having the GPS radio on as well as Mobile (aka phone) and Bluetooth does drain the battery faster than if I could avoid using the internal GPS at this time (I still want to use the internal GPS at other times).  I do have a data plan, so I could use the internal maps, however, I often ride through places with no data access (back country).
    I was able to pair the Bluetooth GPS Receiver to the Z10 (easy enough), however, there is no option in the "Network Connections" settings area to be able to disable the internal GPS radio, or anywhere else, so I can't tell for sure that this is working (that is, not using internal GPS but using external GPS).  I suspect it is not using the external GPS Receiver, though, since Bluetooth settings indicate "no services" for the external Bluetooth device.
    Is there a way to sometimes use the external Bluetooth Receiver on the Z10 (in order to save battery on long trips)?
    It is also not just for battery power savings, but also when I ride there is no air conditioning, so the phone does get hot, and I suspect would be cooler if I used an external GPS receiver via already-enabled-anyways Bluetooth.
    Thanks

    I am not sure my original message was clear.
    I have th Z10, it has GPS software and a built-in GPS radio receiver.  I also have an external GPS radio receiver, not a GPS device.  It is strictly a radio receiver.  I used to use it years ago on my Windows Mobile device - the software with maps was on Windows Mobile, and the GPS receiver hooked up via Bluetooth.
    The GPS receiver in the Z10 uses the Z10 battery.  I have the Bluetooth on anyhow to connect to my helmet headset.  Since Bluetooth is on already, I could save Z10 battery by using the external GPS radio receiver (disable the internal GPS radio receiver), thought the map software would still run on the Z10.
    So, the previous response says "does have GPS profile" but also says "external GPS will not work:".
    I am not sure the statement was respect to my setup.
    What I really need is for the Z10 Bluetooth to see the external GPS receiver, perhaps as a serial  device or as a GPS device, howsoever such things work, and for the GPS map software to use the external rather than try to use the internal (the map software should not really care, it should be the OS that virtualises the GPS port).

    If you have a DVD version then you have to use the serial number that is associated with the DVD version.  A Cloud subscription number has no relationship to a DVD serial number.

  • '12 Mini to Older Receiver via Optical - Can't get 5.1 Surround

    Yet another "Can't get surround sound via Toslink" question...
    System:
    2012 Mac Mini
    Video to Sharp HDTV via HDMI
    Audio to Pioneer VX-D608 Receiver via Optical
    I have the cables connected properly. Video is flawless. Audio is being transmitted to the receiver, which "sees" an AC-3 or DTS signal and automatically switches into those modes according to the format encoded with the files. But for some reason, I am only getting sound out of the front speakers.
    I have tested the receiver and all (5.1) speakers are functional.
    It is as if I am only sending the front right and front left signals via AC-3 or DTS.
    I have spent about 40 hrs playing with various audio software arrangements, including Plex, VLC, Perian (AC-3/DTS passthrough), Soundflower and Soundflowerbed routing.
    Currently, in Audio MIDI Setup I am using the "Built-In Output", set to Encoded Digital Audio. The Format appears to switch depending on the file I am playing. The speakers can only be configured to Stereo, none of the surround options present themselves, which I understand is OK because the AC-3 or DTS is passed to the receiver via an encoded stereo signal.
    My VLC player is playing an AC-3 or DTS track, and the output is set to the Built-In Output (Encoded).
    As I mentioned, the receiver "sees" DTS or AC-3, but the sound won't come out all 5.1 speakers even though I know they are functioning.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!!

    If the receiver is seeing an AC-3 or DTS signal, it indicates
    that the software is passing through the encoded audio. 
    These streams cannot be altered or manipulated, especially DTS
    which is a very tightly licensed codec,  by the software or the Mini.
    So, if the receiver is seeing the digital audio as AC-3 or DTS, the problem is
    not with the Mini.

  • Unable to view photos received via e-mail or texting

    Hi,
    I have been unable to view photos that I received via a text message. I do receive the yellow bubble alert telling me to download.  After I hit the download button, it just hangs.  I also attempted to send myself a photo from my work email address by mailing to [email protected]    Again, I received the notification to download the photo and after hitting the download button--nothing!   Am I doing something incorrectly?   A setting to be made perhaps?  FYI, I am running the latest update for the Charge.
    Thx for the help!

    Well since nobody here responded, I called Verizon Tech Support directly.  I was instructed to remove the battery while leaving the power on (that's important--do NOT power off!).  Then depress the power button in succession twenty (20) times.  Replace the battery cover and power up as normal.  All fixed!!!    Thanks to "Julius"  at VZW.  Obviously, this is some type of reset sequence for the Charge.
    Depress the power button 20 times with the battery still out or after putting the battery back in?

  • How to save a photo I receive via email?

    How can I save a photo that is received via email on my iPhone (through my gMail account). Can this be done? How can I save a photo to my iPhone's photo library when I get one via email on the phone?

    Not possible with the iPhone.
    Assuming you are also accessing this email account with an email client on your Mac and you use iPhoto for storing photos, save the emailed photo to iPhoto - Apple's Mail application includes this option from or with the received message - saving the photo direct to iPhoto and then transfer the photo from iPhoto to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    This is the only way - at the present time anyway.

  • Mail is no longer deleted on ISP's  server once received via mac mail- why is this happening?

    Why is mail no longer deleted on ISP's  server once received via mac mail?
    The box to delete message from ISP's server once it is downloaded is ticked in Mac Mail account's prefrences and this option in the past did delete it from the ISP's server. It no longer does this, it only moved the copy from the ISP's in box to the trash so now the recived message has to be manually removed from the ISP's trash.
    Does Apple need to supply a patch to put this right?
