How can I open files from a mobile app?

I've got a mobile app developed in 4.6.  Part of our app includes the ability to store files on our remote servers which users can access.  In its simplest form the app displays a list of the files which the user can then click on to open.  I tried throwing a navigateToURL which works - although it's ugly as hell.  It opens the browser which then throws it to the os.  Again, it works, but I know there's got to be a better way. 
Files will include PDF, images (jpg, tiff, etc), and Word and Excel docs. 
Any suggestions?  TIA

Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.

  • How can I open tabs from my mobile device on my desktop?

    Hi there!
    Currently I'm having a desktop(Win7 x64), Mobile phone (Galaxy S2) and a tablet (Galaxy Note 10.1) Both of which run Android 4.0.4. (Also, neither is rooted)
    All three are running Firefox and I'm quite happy with the overall performance. There is one small thing that puzzles me, which has to do with sync.
    All three are currently running FF 18.0.2.
    The problem I'm experiencing is in the sync procedure itself: I can see which tabs I have opened on my PC on both the phone and tablet, but the reverse is only possible by going to about:sync-tabs. The little arrow that should show them (the one with tab-groups) only shows local tabs that are opened. Is there any way in which I can make the tabs appear on my PC without having to go to the about:sync-tabs page?
    Should you require more information I'd be happy to provide it!

    I researched through many articles and was unfortunately not able to find a solution to you're problem.
    ''Have you tried uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalling it on your computer? ''
    If not follow the steps below:
    '''Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!'''
    '''*Note: test device is currently experiences issues, so I was unable to recreate the issue you are experiencing.*'''

  • How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

  • Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

    Hi,
    Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
    I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
    I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
    Files that were created earlear also not opened.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • How can I transfer files from my computer to my I pad ?

    How can I transfer files from my computer to my I Pad?

    Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
    Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
    Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.
    Use the open with to view/move files into other apps.

    can't open files from my e-mail. How to fix it?

    Hi Boxergirl,
    Did you happen to install anything else, or make any other changes to your system. I'm flummoxed how signing up for an online service could affect file associations. Here are the steps for resetting file associations on Windows 8.1: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows8_1-desktop/windows-81-how-to-set-a nd-restore-file/16c2e10d-ec99-4fee-8f56-b87c4338e006
    Please let me know how it goes.

  • How can i store files from a PC on time capsule

    How can i store files from a PC on Time Capsule

    Actually although the format on the TC is not NTFS but Mac HFS+, that is irrelevant as far as windows is concerned. The TC offers SMB protocol to the network.. so how the TC stores the files is totally irrelevant.
    1. TC is by nature not particularly SMB happy..
    Change all names, TC and wireless to SMB compatible. Short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Turn on the guest account to read write access.. assuming you don't have security issues.
    Set the workgroup correctly.. don't use wins server.. no body does nowadays.
    Note short no space names.. guest access and workgroup all set.
    2. Download and install airport utility for windows or just bonjour for windows.. bonjour should be included with the full uitlity but that is not necessary.
    3. Just doing the above when bonjour loads it should bring up TC as accessible.. if not, or you need to access it manually.. open windows explorer and type in the address bar.
    \\TCName or \\TCIPaddress .. obviously replacing the generic name with the actual one used. In my case. as per the above screen shot. \\TCGen3
    You will then see the main root directory of the TC.. data or whatever it is named..
    Create a new directory under the root directory for your windows files.. and copy them there.
    Note .. some issues can arise if you are using the TC for TM backups.. Please keep a large enough amount of free space available that TM still works.. pondini recommends using disk images.
    http://pondini.org/TM/TCQ3.html
    As long as you still have plenty of free space this is not an issue but TM may have issues when it fills the drive as it is designed to do.

  • Where can I find the Start up disk and how can I delete file from it.

    where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
    How can I delete files from it?

    The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA.  You may delete files by draging the file  to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete).  Then empty Trash.

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.
