How do I get an attachment that has a .wmv extension to launch?

I have been sent an attachment that will not launch. It has a wmv extension and is some sort of a video file. What do I have to do to get firefox to allow this file to launch?

Usually if Firefox can't handle some media, it will allow you to open it in an external program, such as Windows Media Player.
What is Firefox doing in this case -- just ignoring your attempts to open the media?
Is this the only attachment affected, or do you have more general issues with email attachments? Yahoo and AT&T Yahoo mail users who access mail using old bookmarks have reported problems accessing attachments. Try getting to email through your Yahoo/My Yahoo or AT&T Yahoo home page in that case.
Finally, to get the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox, if you are interested in using that, see this support article: [[Play Windows Media files in Firefox with the Windows Media plugin]].

  • How can I get an item that has the broadcast icon next to it into MP3 format so I can put it on my ipod nano?

    Question: how can I get an item in my itunes library, on my mac os 10.6.7 that has a broadcast icon next to it into MP3 format so I can play it on my ipod? right now it won't let me, and it's very frustrating!!!! thanks

    I might have misunderstood what you mean by the "broadcast icon," but if you are talking about an audio stream, then there is just no way you can convert a stream to MP3. What this would involve is either recording the stream, and then you would just be replaying the recorded audio on your iPod (is this what you are trying to achieve?), or reading the stream directly on your iPod, which an iPod nano does not support (it would need wireless connectivity).
    Hope this helps

  • I have an iPhone 4, and I'm able to save photos that have been emailed to me on the iPhone.  However, I cannot figure out how to save a video attachment that has been emailed to me on the iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I have an iPhone 4 and I can save photos (to my camera roll) that have been emailed to me on the iPhone.  However, I've been unable to figure out how to save  video attachments that have been sent to me on the iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated.   

    Apparently not. I have both an iPhone 4 and an iPad thatbive upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.  While it is reported that if you click on the attached video file and hold that you will be presented a "Save Video" option, all I see is "Quick Look". Thinking it might have been GoodReader, I unknow installed GoodReader but still no option. I wonder if this yet another feature in iOS 5 that doesn't work on upgrades

  • How can i get the user that has created a document

    I only need to know wich user has created a document(purchase order).
    For example, if user SALES1 creates a purchase order(100),in wich table/field is stored this information?(that tells me that user SALES1 has created purchase order 100).
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    If you look in the table of the documents there is a field called "UserSign". This user sign then matches with a column "usersign" in OUSR. In ousr it has the user names and all the other details for all the users.
    Hope this helps

  • I sent an email with an attachment, but when the Reply came back to me the attachment was not included. How do I get the attachment that I send to be attached to the response?

    HOW DO I SET THE COMPUTER TO INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL ATTACHMENTS IN RESPONSES TO ALL OUTGOING EMAIL THAT CONTAINED ATTACHMENTS.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

    How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

    How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

    THanks for your reply.
    Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
    you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
    my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
    converts it into docx, my choice.  I can read it there and when I try to
    copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
    like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
    save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
    to see it.    I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
    give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing.  What
    I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit.  People send me
    things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
    in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
    doesnt allow me to copy the text.  If it is in image form, I cannot work on
    it.  It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
    I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program.  Its just double the work and
    ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
    Sorry  if I am a bit dumb with informatics.  But I simply could not find
    any way whatever to  copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
    format that would enable me to edit it.
    Kindest regards,

  • HT1420 how do i Deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    how do  i deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    You can only deauthorise individual computers directly on them. Otherwise if you've reached the 5 computer limit, then you should be able to log into your iTunes account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can only do once every 12 months) and you can then (re-)authorise up to 5 computers : authorising and deauthorising.

  • How do i get the movies that I bought on iTunes onto my new macbook through iCloud?

    how do i get the movies that I bought on iTunes onto my new macbook through iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly iTunes and iCloud are different things, movies are handled by iTunes.
    iTunes now has iTunes in the cloud and iTunes Match, but neither deals with movies. Your purchased movies will need to be copied from your old computer to your new one.

  • Why can I not open a attachment that has the suffix .mpe?

    A friend and I both received an email with an attachment that has the suffix .mpe.  When I try to open it I get a message that Quicktime can not open the file- that it is in a format that Quicktime doesn't understand.  I wrote both the friend and the sender and they say their machines open the attachment.  If I drag the attachment to my desktop and change the suffix to .mpeg I can open the file.
    I don't know if it is relevant, but they are both using mountain lion and I am using snow leopard.
    Is there a logical explanation for my inability to open the .mpe attachment?
    Thanks
    Dave

    I am hesitant to believe that the reason they can open the file and I can't is because they are running mountain lion and I am not.  It would seem to me that Quicktime is Quicktime no matter which operating system one is using, or...?
    Incorrect. It's not so much the system itself, but rather the QT structure embedded in the OS together with the different player apps. They are probably running QT X v10.2 (603.6) while you are likely using QT X v10.0 (131) and there have been some major changes between the two during the interim. E.g., try playing "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 content to see the difference in audio support between OS v10.6.8/QT X v10.0 and OS v10.8.2/QT X v10.2. Another major change was the disabling of legacy codecs—they're probably still enabled on your system but disabled by default on their systems unless they re-enabled them. To say the least, QT is constantly changing and that is why so many people are here trying to find out why something works or doesn't work in one instance but is totally backwards following a certain OS upgrade or app/security update.

    Hi Terry,
    2 minutes ago I was on a page in the community that had content 2 seconds ago, 1 minute ago etc. Now I can't find it. I see 1 hour ago, 4 hours ago... How do I get back to that page.
    When you say "2 minutes ago" was that literally 2 minutes ago, or did the page stay idle for some time? The page does not automatically update and continues to show the times of posts when last opened. If you leave the page and return to it, it will then update (reload) with new elapsed times.
    Questions and replies come thick and fast. Perhaps the thread has been pushed down the page by newer posts. It could have been pushed to another page. Click on the Next button (top and bottom of page). "Next" is actually older posts (they are stored in descending time order).
    Have you followed suggestions by b j t and ~Bee?
