Can´t open pptx file in recieved email

I have an iphone 5 with sw 6.1.4.
When i recieve an email with a Powerpoint .pptx attachement I can´t open it after the attachements has been fully downloaded.
Where the file should be is just a text (See attatched file: ---.pptx).

From what information I can find, it appears that that format is not supported by the device itself.
*Edit: On page 150 of the manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf) I located some more information about what is supported.

Hello Rach Ryan
First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

I can't open pptx files on keynote 6.2

Hi. I am an Iwork user who got a pptx file from a windows user. The problem is that I can't open it on keynote, even when I can open it on my ios devices. I can see it in preview, but can't save it. It is strange because I had been aple to open other powerpoint's docs. before. I had tried changing the doc title, the doc .name, and if might be useful, might even try to convert it to something else. But, my question is, isn't keynote supposed to open it? Thanks.
jro

Gary: thanks for your reply. Neither one or the other. As my title states, I am using the latest version of keynote, and also, as I said, I am able to open it on my ios devices (ipad and iphone) so, that means that the file isn't corrupt.

Can't open indesign files sent via email

hello, a customer sent me indesign-files (CS6, CS4 and IDML). i think they are using the mac version. i have indesign CS6 on pc and everytime i try to open one of the files, indesign reports an failure: missing file oder missing authorisation. does anyone know any solution?

As previously mentioned, the files must be extracted from any archive and saved to a hard drive location before you open it. I have seen this error message once or twice in the past with a file that should have opened (stored on a network drive, which may have played a role), I think. They didn't happen to also include the .idlk file with what they sent? If so, delete it.
Have you tried clicking the "As a Copy" radio button inthe open dialog to make a new, untitled copy? If that works you can save with a new name and move on.

Can't open pptx on my iPad

Recently I've found that I can't open pptx files from my email on my iPad. This is really frustrating and whilst previously the formatting was never great, it used to work and I could review presentations whilst on the move.
Apple please get onto this and provide a fix.

Look at the Rccharles answer on this post.

Can't open movie files in browser or email

Hi, I'm not sure if this issue has been dealt with yet; however, I can't open movie files contained in emails or in my Safari Browser--even ones labeled as QT files. I am running Quick Time 7.0.4 on my 10.3.9 eMac. This is a recent problem, as I didn't have this difficulty until the last month or so. I had unchecked the "Open Safe Files" box in Safari's preferences some time ago as a precaution against a virus/worm, but rechecked it after the last one or two Security Updates. What else should I do to resume opening movie files? QT Player runs just fine with movie trailers, etc, but not in mails or the browser.
eMac, iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1 Ghz G4, 768 mb ram

Under the Safari Help menu choose "Installed Plug-ins". This will confirm your QuickTime install.
Under Safari Preferences/Security make sure you've got plug-ins enabled.
Try dragging the email attachment to the Desktop and see if it plays from there.

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

Can't open Jpeg files in email

I just purchased a Samsung Continum. I love it but I am unable to open jpeg files in my emails. Am I missing something?

Just keep in mind, downloading has limitations. The maximum file size for picture / videos/attachments can vary from device to device. The file size limitation is based on the megapixels of the camera on the device. The maximum file size that can be sent from an email to a device is 3 MB. When any message over 350 KB is sent to the device, the file is reduced in size to be under 350 KB prior to delivery. If a device sends a 500 KB file to a device with a lower file size limit the file will be reduced to a file size acceptable by the receiving device.. A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient.
Listed below are steps to download attachments
From a home screen, select Applications.
Select Gmail.
Select an email message.
View the email message. If the email message has an attachment (e.g. jpg, gif, bmp, etc.) select one of the following attachment options:
An installed application is required to download or preview some attachment types.
--Download
Downloads the attachment to the SD card.
--Preview
Previews the attachment within the viewed email.

Can't open .msg files more then once, saved or as an attachment to an email

we use :
microsoft xp & office/outlook 2003
can't open .msg files more then once, saved or as an attachment to an email
If we save an email as a outlook.msg file , we can only open it once, close it,
when trying to open it again it gives an error that it is not possible due to a scurity issue or it is already open.
After closing outlook and starting it again, we can open it once again.
Same when clicking an .msg that is attached to an email, but here we can switch to another email, go back to the one and open it again.
We have installed all updates for both xp and office 2003 also internet explorer 8.0 to test if that would work, normally we have ie7.0.

1 Translated from dutch as good as i know :
"Can't open : c:\test.msg, it might not exist, do you have the required permission to open the file or is it open in another application. Click
with the right mousebutton on the map click properties to view/check the rights for that map."
2 tried both, the network and locally, i have the rights to save it in the map and open it once, so thats not the problem, iseems that outlook locks the file after it is openen once.
3 security and ntfs permissions are ok, see 2
4 tried it from different pc's networks maps etc.
5 done.
6 in a pst file the msg can be openen ore than once, but thats not the problem, tried and this works, but i need to save an email as an .msg file.
7 addins removed and doen all of that part, didn't help.
We also have tried:
-Installing all updates and ie8
-going back to xp sp2 (fresh install of xp)
Only thing that did work was an msg file attached to an email, we couldn't open that more then once,
but after checking "Use exchange modus with cache" at the account properties we could open that more than once.
Now we need to be able to open the email's saved as .msg more then 1 time.

Keynote freezing when opening pptx files

hi there,
so i have keynote on my mac with iwork 08 since i got it two summers ago and i have never had this problem before. i think i have even opened pptx files before and they have worked, so im not sure why its not working now.
but the problem is when i try and open pptx files for school it will start the opening screen but stays on it forever and i have to end up force quiting the program. the bar that says loading only gets like 10% of the way, but never further!
whats the deal? i downloaded the latest update for keynote, but it didnt help.
i got the file via email though and can quick preview it both in finder and in mail. also the HD heats up when i try and open it and it sounds like it is strugglin'!
thanks
last second thought- i think it has happened just since my update to snow leopard.. maybe thats the problem...

There are two libraries on your Mac:
1. In the System folder
2. In your User folder
It's the second one that has Preferences.
I'd be very surprised not to see a plist in the User>Library> Prefs folder, as each time you launch an app, a plist is created.
However, if this is the case, my suggestion is to delete iWork and reinstall it.

SharePoint 2010 and PowerPoint 2010: Open PPTX File in Edit Mode and Open PPSX in in Slide Show Mode

I have the following issue while opening PowerPoint PPTX file and PPSX from the Document ID link provided by SharePoint 2010.
Issue
Initially when I opened PPTX file from the DOC ID link from SharePoint 2010, it is opening up in Slide Show mode which is not how we want it to be.
For PPSX, it is opening in Slide Show mode which is what we wanted.
Thus, I did some research online and found this article at support.microsoft.com/kb/q299824 which requires some modification to the Registry of the client machine.
I did the change as follows
Open Registry
Look for “Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12”
Set BrowserFlags value to a
After the change, PPTX is opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is correct but PPSX is also opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is not correct
This issue only occurs if I open the document from the Doc ID link in SharePoint. If the documents are downloaded, it will not have this issue.
Questions
Can I set PPTX to open in Edit Mode and PPSX to open in Browser Mode?
Is this fixed as in if I change the registry setting it will affect both file types?
Is there other ways I can achieve opening PPTX in Edit and PPSX in Browser Mode?
[Environment]
My Client machine is running on I.E 9 and Office 2010.
Thank you.

Hi,
To make the PPTX file open in Edit mode and PPSX file open in Slide Show mode, I recommend to edit the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12 to 8.
I tested the scenario in my environment with changing the key value to 8, after that PPTX file opened in Edit mode and PPSX file opened in Slide Show mode.
Best regards.
Thanks
