How do i open an .rdf file from email and display in an ipad?

i have attached an .rdf file in ipad email, and it cannot open or view it.  can someone help? 

I don't think you will find on.  I just looked, and the hit on the search was for a feed reader, that I think is not in the same context as your question. 
My only suggestion would be to ask the send to send it in a different format, or from another computer, rename the file.  I suspect that if you gave it a .txt extension you would be able to open it and read the elements.

  • How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?

    How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?
    I mixed down a song from my band's latest session and saved it as a .m4a file (Apple AAC Audio format) and I e-mailed it to myself. Then on my phone I opened the e-mail message in Mail and held a long-press down on the attached .m4a file. But I do not see the option to open it up into the Music app. It only gives me the options of iMovie, WeChat, and USB Disk. Why would I want to open it up in those? It's a song. It should open up into the Music app so I can play it. What the heck?
    Please don't tell me that I have to use iTunes to do this and sync my phone to my computer, because I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library. They are *practice session tracks* that I want to listen to then delete later when we have new versions.
    If there is no way to open them into the Music app, then is there a music player app I can get somewhere that will let me simply save audio files from Mail into it, and use it as a player for those songs? That's all I want to do.
    The only reasonable workaround I have found so far is to save them as .mp4 audio files, which the iPhone thinks are movies, so it lets me save them into the camera roll as Videos.
    Voice Memos would be acceptable as a place for them to be able to open into as well, but of course that's also not on the options list. Sigh.

    Why is that such an issue for you?
    Why do people insist on replying to threads without even reading the original post? I explained it there already!
    I don't have to use iTunes to save an image from Mail into my camera roll, or to save a PDF from Mail into iBooks. Why should I have to use iTunes to save a music file into Music app?
    But I'll repeat it since evidently you can't be asked to read the original posts before spamming a thread with questions that have already been answered. I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library.
    My iTunes library is a sacred temple into which I only allow to enter the very best and highest-fidelity musical recordings of all time. I refuse to sully and soil my iTunes library with crappy practice mixdowns from my band, etc.
    Want to know why? Because I like to be able to hit "shuffle all" on my iTunes library and know that something that will improve my existence will emanate forth from this amazing device that I have invested thousands of dollars into (yes, I count my cell phone plan amongst the expenses).
    I shall not have the crappy burner mixdown tracks from my band's practice sessions come up every five songs (we generate TONS of these... literally hundreds... and they are all high-bitrate .m4a tracks in the 10-15 MB range). I let iTunes keep my music folder organized on my computer. It makes copies of everything being placed into it, and I don't want 159 GB of copies of burner tracks hiding like roaches throughout my temple. We don't name these files anything sensible (in fact the guy who mixes them down intentionally gives them random weird names) and they lack metadata. So there's no easy way to delete them back out of iTunes once they're in there. It's a huge pain; I used to do it, but I swore it off years ago and *I'm never going back!*
    The REAL question is, why does Apple force me to have to use iTunes—the most convoluted, kludgy piece of bloatware ever to issue forth from Cupertino—to do something as simple as adding an MP3 from Mail into the Music app on my phone? Why can't there be something simple—something equivalent to the Camera Roll inside the Music app, not only for the files I want to save from Mail, but also for my Garage Band exports, not to mention all the exports from all the various synthesizer, drum machine, and recording apps I use on a daily basis in iOS?
    It would be awfully nice to be able to play the songs I've recorded right in the Music app without having to go through the rigamarole of adding those files to my iTunes library, tagging them with metadata, syncing, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda—just to delete them again as soon as I've synced so they don't pollute my computer's iTunes library!
    I bought Apple for ease of use, not so I would be forced to jump through a million hoops just do to something that ought to take one tap to accomplish!  That's ridiculous!

  • How to retrieve xml file from BLOB and display on browser with css/xslt

    Hi All,
    I am new to xml. I am storing my xml file into BLOB in database. Now in my jsp page I want to retrieve this xml file from BLOB and display in HTML/CSS/XSLT form...
    Pl. guide me.. any docs..?? Logic...??
    Thanks in Advance.
    Sandeep Oza

    Hello Sandeep!
    I'm not familiar with jsp but logic should be as follows:
    -in jsp page instantiate XML parser
    -load specified BLOB into parser
    Now you may traverse the XML tree or you might load XSL file and use transform method to transform XML according to XSL file.
    I have an example where I'm selecting XML straight from relational database and then transform it using XSL into appropriate HTML output, but it's written in PSP.
    You can try http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp for basics on XML, CSS, XSL. It's easy to follow with good examples.
    Regards!

  • How do I open an xlsx file from a website rather than downloading it?

    When I try to open an .xlsx file from a website, it downloads and does not open. Before the last update, it would just open the file. How do I get it to open when I click on it rather than just download it?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that didn't work...it still just downloads it to the temp file and doesn't open. Any other ideas? It worked before the last update of Firefox.

  • How can I open different binary files from BLOB column ?

    If we store some type of binary file (XLS, DOC, PDF, EML and so on, not only pictures) in BLOB column how can I show the different contents? We use designer and forms 9i with PL/SQL.
    How can I copy the files from BLOB to file in a directory or how can I pass BLOB's content to the proper application directly to open it?

    The mime type is just a string as explained above (e.g. application/pdf...). There are lot of samples here and on metalink.
    E.g. add a column mime_type varchar(30) to your blob table. Create a procedure similar to the following:
    PROCEDURE getblob
    (P_FILE IN VARCHAR2
    IS
    vblob blob;
    vmime_type myblobs.mime_type%type;
    length number;
    begin
         select document, mime_type into vblob,vmime_type from myblobs where docname = p_file;
         length := dbms_lob.getlength(vblob);
         if length = 0 or vblob is null then
         htp.p('Document not available yet.');
         else
         owa_util.mime_header(vmime_type);
         htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(vblob));
         owa_util.http_header_close;
         wpg_docload.download_file(vblob);                
         end if;
    exception
         when others then
         htp.p(sqlerrm);
    END;
    Create a DAD on your application server (refer to documentation on how to create a DAD).
    Display the blob from forms (e.g. on a when-button-pressed trigger):
    web.show_document('http://myserver:port/DAD/getblob?p_file=myfilename','_blank');
    For storing blobs in a directory on your db server take a look at the dbms_lob package.
    For storing blobs in a directory on your app server take a look at WebUtil available on OTN.

  • How do I open my imovie files from an external hard drive on a new computer

    I'm trying to open my files from an external harddrive and the I don't know how to open it on another computer...the "event" files are confusing and I can't open a file of imovie 08....thanks!

    If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
    If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
    Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.

  • How do I open an HTML file from my hard drive?

    Hello FireFox,
    I develop applications in JavaScript and need to test them in the three major
    browsers including FireFox. In the older version one would click on the FireFox logo and
    go to New Page (New Tab?) and then File. Recently downloaded FireFox 30.0 and there
    does not seem to be New Page option. I see New Window but it does not give me an option
    for opening a file from the hard drive.
    Thanks

    Hi!
    There are a few ways to open files in Firefox. The easiest is '''CTRL''' + '''O'''. Another easy option is to click Menu > Open File (if it's not there, you'll have to enter the Customize menu to drag it in).

    Happy coding!

  • How can I import an mp4 file from my video camera into my iPad ?

    I'm totally new to this iPad world.  I would like to import a file from my video camera to edit it in iMovies.  I tried adding the file through iTunes, and it appeared to transfer the file to my iPad, but I can't find any way to open the file, not even to play it.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The time should already be shown on the status bar, but you can't add the day and/or date to it - if you would like to have them then you coul leave feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    If you want to copy an attachment from an email then you can't do that directly from the Mail app. If the email is still on your provider's server then you should be able to read the email on your provider's site via a browser on your computer and save it from there directly on your computer. Otherwise you will need to copy the file from the Mail app to another app on your iPad via the 'open in' function. Do you have an app on your iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy ? How you then copy the file to your computer will depend upon what the app that you copy it to supports - different apps have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, dropbox etc

  • How can i open a ppt files or a work document on my ipad and save it?

    I have been opening ppt or .doc from school on safari, but i don't know how to save it in my ipad so i don't have to go back online eveytime for those documents. So far i have been only able to save pdf in ibooks.
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    You first need one or more apps on your iPad that support word and/or powerpoint documents - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version which allows you to create and edit Powerpoint docs) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
