Can I send a mail attachment that will automatically open

Hello,
Can I send a mail attachment that will automatically open when the recipient opens the message. Sometimes when I get attachments they are already open and sometimes I have to open them. Why is this?
Thanks

Hello Bobejoe.
Can I send a mail attachment that will automatically open
when the recipient opens the message.
No, fortunately.
Sometimes when I get attachments they are already open
This doesn’t make sense. What do you mean?
Why is this?
It isn’t.

You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

Clicking on a picture or link that will automatically open up a 2nd window to view, but the window will open up but it appears blank

When clicking on a picture or link that will automatically open up a 2nd window to view, the window will open up but it will just appear blank and says Type a Web address in the top bar.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I create a simple app that will automatically add folder script

Hi! I hope I can get a little help on this. I tried searching online and haven't found anything.
Is there away I can make a simple "application" that will automatically add a folder script to a users folder?
Basically I need a folder script to run but I don't want to explaint o a user how they'd have to do it in automator.
I'd like to be able to create an application they double click. The app tells them to select a folder then automatically runs the script.
Does anyone have any ideas of how'd I'd do this?

Oh I get it. Yeah I read you post on one of the other pages and didn't quite understand, but not that you say that your're makeing this for another user, it makes sence.
So what you want to do is have the computer automatically install a script on a customer's computer, right?
(I'm using "custumer" loosly; i.e. just another user)
If that's what you'd like to do, then you'll probably have to write an actual program in Xcode, since I imagine automiticlly installing folder action scrips will be highly discuraged by Apple because it would cause a huge security hole in the OS. (You wouldn't want some random person sending you a folder action installer disgused as a regular app LOL.)
But I will actually suggest the following, which I think will work great for your users:
Make a regular Automator app, and drag it to your Dock. Now, have the user click and drag a bunch of photos to the application icon, and it will run the app automatically on those files.
You could try a work flow like this:
ask the user Are you sure?
convert pictures
save pictures to ConvertedPics folder
pop up a confirmation message saying that everything was resized
Hope this helps

Movie that will automatically open in "fit to screen" view mode?

I'm wondering if it's possible to save a video in quicktime pro that will, when opened in any normal version of quicktime, automatically open in the "fit to screen" view option. In the visual settings tab of the movie properties, there is an option to automatically open into full screen, but this isn't what I want - I want it to open in the normal (non-fullscreen) quicktime window, but to automatically resize to fit the screen size of the computer it's being viewed on.
I'm pretty sure that there isn't any easy way to do this, but it's pretty important, so if it requires some scripting or something, that's fine - i'm not a programmer, but i'm willing to do whatever i need to, to make this work.
Thanks!

The "Presentation" option is a bit confusing as there are "user" settings that each viewer could have set (double size, Fit To Screen, etc) in the QuickTime preferences and all of them will play with the "on screen" controls feature of version 7. So "full screen" is different because of the dozens of display settings that may be used and the same for "fit to screen".
If you set the file dimensions too large for a small display setting the viewer will not be able to use the QuickTime controller (it could be "off screen).
I just checked all my AppleScripts and Automator actions and none include "fit to screen" options. No luck there.
If you set the movie dimensions (Visual Settings) to the "fit screen" size this would work on your display but maybe not on mine. To do that just open the Movie Info window with your file set to fit screen dimensions, note the size and adjust the file dimensions to those new values and "Save As".
Easiest method for your workflow would be to send instructions for viewing to the end users.
Keyboard shortcuts for QuickTime file display:
Command-0 (zero) = half size
Command-1 = normal size
Command-2 = double size
Command-3 = fit to screen
Command-F = full screen (presentation mode)

Is there a Chrome extension that will automatically open a matching URL in Firefox?

I'm on OSX. I use Chrome as my default browser (personal choice). However, an internal site that I use regularly is a boxed product that works only in Firefox.
Is there a Chrome extension that I can list URLs that Chrome should automatically open in Firefox instead? I want Chrome to remain my default browser, but when I click on a URL for that site in my email, Chrome opens the site in a tab, then opens Firefox with that URL, then closes the tab it opened.

There might be some vise versa however.

Is there a mail setting that will stop opening the emails automatically?

Just upgraded to Mt. Lion, and find that in Mail, if I just click on the notification, it opens the mail in a small side panel. Can I avoid this in settings somewhere? There are emails I don't want to open, just delete.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I'm not sure why you want to waste time double-clicking the item in a list to read it, but you can close the pane by dragging the divider between the list and the reading pane all the way to the right (assuming you are in the new layout). If you are in Classic layout, drag the divider to the bottom.

Can I use a submit button that will automatically flatten and open up the save as screen?

Hello,
I'm working with forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and I want the submit button to flatten the document then open the save as screen. I know I can print to pdf and this automatically will open that screen, but these forms are going to be used with tablets that may or may not have the "print to adobe" as an option. Is there another way to flatten? I know the PDF Optimizer will do that too, but it isn't an executable option in the button properties. Magic anyone? Thanks.

It depends very much on the platform and the applications used by the users of this form. If they are using non-Adobe software, all bets are off.
Also, some tablets (iPad) don't support JS, so even if they do use Adobe's Reader for the iOS, there's not much that can be done in the way of scripting.
Generally speaking: In Acrobat you can flatten the form, but in Reader that's not possible. What you can do, though, is create a function that makes the form fields read-only, thus preventing the user from editing them after having submitted the file.

Having problem deleting all but one particular mail from the iPhone 4S mail inbox. I can delete mail either by the trash can or using edit, selecting the mail message and deleting. However there is this one mail message that will not go away. Any ideas?

I am having a problem deleting all but one particular mail message from my inbox. I delete by either using the trash can icon for individual mail, or using edit, selecting the mail message (s) and clicking delete. However there is this one mail message that will not go away regardles of what I do including deleting all from the trash. Any ideas?

I get that every once in a while on my 3GS, and that's what I do to get rid of it. Probably not a bad idea to power down the phone every so often, anyway, gets rid of any crud waiting to cause a bug.
Glad to hear that it worked for you.

How can I save a page offline? the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open.

the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

New computer, old .mac account, can't send e-mails!

A friend gave us his old Titanium PowerBook G4. We have an iBook G3 that we've been using and I'm trying to set up the new/old PB for my wife as her personal computer.
I upgraded osx on the pb and then tried to configure e-mail for my wife's account. I copied all of the info. exactly as it is in her old account on the ibook. For some reason, it will not send e-mails, though it will recieve them.
When I try to send e-mails, I get this error:
"Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings."
I switched the port number from 25 to the recommended one and also double-checked that everthing was copied correctly. But we still can't send mail from her computer. I couldn't find the answer with searches... any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks!
Here's what the error message is:
Cannot send message using the server
smtp.mac.com:wifes.address
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
Message from: Wife's Name <[email protected]>
Send message using: smtp.mac.com:wifes.address
So, I'm not sure what to do from here. I've tried various port addresses and none work. All that happens when I try to send a message is that I get the above error and the draft goes into the outbox.
Thanks in advance for any help, this has been really vexing for us and I'd love to get my wife up and running.

Can only send e-mail from home wi-fi

I have three e-mail addresses that I use on the iPhone however for one of them I can only send e-mail when I am at home using my wi-fi. If I am anywhere else using wi-fi or 3G I get a sender address was invalid message.
Any suggestions?

Many ISPs only allow access to their smtp servers (the server that sends mail, which is different that the one for receiving mail) over their own network. Others require different settings when connecting from outside (which you're doing when you're on 3G/EDGE). Another option is to use AT&T's outgoing mail server to send. You can enable that in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > tap account > Outgoing Mail Server/SMTP > set AT&T SMTP server to ON. That way, the AT&T server will be used away from home (as long as you're connected to 3G/EDGE/GPRS - if you're connected to another Wi-Fi network it won't work) and your ISPs server will be used at home.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'what settings are you using in the accounts part of mail preferences', but I'll give you as much information as I can in the hopes that some of it is responsive.
In "preferences" I select "accounts" and there are 3 listed:
'personal gmail' (IMAP)
'business gmail' (IMAP)
'Yahoo' (POP)
For each of the above, the "Account Information" tab gives:
description: [username]
email address: [correctly reflects my address]
full name: [my name]
Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
user name: [my username]
password: [*** - I've re-entered to ensure it is my true password]
outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com:username
Is it all in the same format on the iphone?
This is the same information for the 2 gmail accounts, with the exception of the usernames differing. If I click "server settings" at the bottom, it reflects the outgoing mail server "smtp.gmail.com" server port 25, my correct user name and password.
Again, different names for the different accounts, right? And this is the same port etc. as you put into the iphone
All of the above information matches what I input into my iPhone, and it has worked fine since day 1, so I don't understand the malfunction.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console. Make sure console.log and system.log are open (or see the File menu).
Try to send an email.
Look for new lines in the log files (it should scroll down automatically so the newest lines are at the end of the log at the bottom of the window). What do you see? (Erase or substitute for any personal info before posting.)
Do you use any firewall software or have you used third-party software or Terminal to configure the builtin firewall?
