Ho do I open a wmv file on my iPad?

What do I need to open a wmv. file I receive in an e-mail on my iPad?

Look for a wmv player app in the app store. I can't recommend a specific one because I've not used them, but I can just suggest search for .wmv, read reviews and make a choice. Once you install that you should be able to open that video.

    No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

  • Numbers cannot open an excel file (in my ipad).

    Numbers cannot open an excel file (in my ipad) sent from an email. I get this message: "the document can't be opened because it contains cells outside the boundaries of Numbers"...what this means?

    If you have Numbers for the iPad, that will be one of the options to open in (besides, or from, Quick Look) if you don't have one of the PDF  / printing apps. Numbers handles Excel files quite nicely on the iPad, in my experience--one more reason to have it.
    One reason I like the Save2PDF app is that it gives me lots of options on the iPad for how I want to save or process email attachments.

  • Can I transfer Mpeg and wmv files to my Ipad and how do I do it?

    Just wondering if you can do this

    Yes, you can transfer your mpeg or wmv files to you iPad, but they can not be played in iPad, as they are not supported with iPad. So to play them in iPad normally, you should first convert your mpeg or wmv files to mp4, mov, or avi, then transfer the converted mp4(mov, avi) file to your iPad.
    What you need is a video converter, and there are many ones on App store or Google.  And I just got Total Video Converter, it depends on your demands.

    How can I open an excel file on my ipad from dropbox using numbers?

    You are asking about Numbers for iOS in a forum dedicated to Numbers for OS X.
    As most of us aren’t using this app, it would be more efficient to ask in the dedicated forum (link below).

  • Firefox 6.0 w/ win media player plugin 1.0.0.8 enabled ALWAYS asks if I want to open a .wmv file with Win Media Player.

    Firefox 6.0 would not open .wmv files, so I downloaded and installed M/S windows media player firefox plugin, ver 1.0.0.8.
    I have checked using the plugin mgr that it is installed and enabled, but firefox still will not open .wmv files - It still brings up a window asking if I want to use Win Media Player to open the file.

  • Quick Time opens internet.wmv files as text files

    I'm trying to open internet video files that are generally .wmv files. Quick time does not open them, rather they open in a text format. Ideas? Thanks!

    As the above poster said, you can download Windows Media Player for Mac to view .wmv files, or you can use my preferred method. Although it will cost you $9.99, you can download Flip4Mac's WMV Player. This is a Quicktime Codec that allows you to watch .wmv media within Quicktime and within your browser ending up as a complete media solution. You don't need two different applications.
    Hope this helps,
    Ryan.

  • What application opens a .wmv file?

    I've gotten several .wmv files in my email and being new to Macs I don't know what application opens these files. I can download them successfully however I always get an error message that says Saffari cannot open these files. Help!

    .wmv is a Windows Media file.
    You can use Windows Media Player for Mac to open those.
    You might also need Stuffit Expander to extract the Windows Media Player file after it's downloaded.

  • Opening a .wmv file

    I can't open .wmv files. Is there a program I need to download. Thanks

    Hey there,
    My vote goes to Flip4Mac too. It works better than the Microsoft player. Be sure to double check the default settings in "System Preferences" after installation.

  • Quicktime crashes everytime I try to open a .WMV file!!

    I have the newest version of quicktime (the same one that's been out for a while). I also have Flip4Mac installed. However, every time I try to play a .wmv file, quicktime crashes and I have to use force quit. It never used to do this, it used to play these files fine. Any help?

    Hi,
    I too have been having this problem, and I've found a solution that works for me.
    If you have the Finder windows displayed in column view - then disable the preview option by clicking on the small arrow above the movie preview - it seems that the Finder clashes with Quicktime and Quicktime crashes.
