How do I stop my excel documents opening up in ITunes

My Excel and Word documents are opening automatically In iTunes when I open my Windows Vista laptop. Infact all my documents seem to be quickly transferring themselves into iTunes, so I cant open them at all. H. When I open an Excel Document that has been emailed to me in Microsoft Outook it can only now be opened in iTunes. Any help will be really appreciated

Turning your laptop off and starting it again is the equivalent of a reboot but this takes two separate actions whereas a restart/reboot can be performed in one action. But back to your main problem.
When you refer to your Inbox I presume you are talking about the Inbox in Mail app on your iPad.
I think what you are trying to tell us is that you cannot open certain files on your iPad that have been synced or emailed to it. If this is correct then you need to have a compatible app on your iPad.
However, the undermentioned list of file attachments [courtesy of Demo, another participart] are VIEWABLE in the Mail programme as standard but if you want to save and work on them then a compatible app must be installed-
Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
If the file is not one of these file types, you will need an app in order to open and view them - i.e. - .wmv files ...
Are we on the right lines?

    I don't have any problem attaching just a MS Word file in Mail. My process is pretty simple....with a message open I click the attach icon (paperclip) at the top of the message, then navigate to where the file is located and select it. I make sure I have the cursor at the bottom of the new message below my signature line. FWIW I use MS Word 2011.

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

    How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?

    The frustrating part about the restore is that is seems to be finished when it in fact is not.  The restore will look "finish" and your phone will be at the Swipe to Unlock screen. If you swipe and look at your home screen at this point of the restore, you'll see everything is not quite right.  While the process seems to be not doing anything just leave the phone attached and do something else for about an hour.  This part of the process is not mentioned during the restore operation.  I believe there are about two steps to the restore process: 1) restore the phone settings (ringtones, background, notification settings, etc.) and give the user the unlock screen; 2) without letting the user know there is still more to do, begin the slow process of restoring all the music, movies, apps and what not.  It's this second step that causes the confusion.  Nothing lets you know to wait that process out.  I've restored a couple devices from a computer backup and the 2-step process looks the same.

  • How do i print an excel document?

    I am new to iMac so still learning.  My friend emailed me an Excel document (it opens in Numbers) and I cannot figure out how to print it.  I hold 2 fingers down on my trackpad, and "print" is not an option.  I do not see "print" anywhere as an option.  Help!

    Hi George,
    Numbers 3.1 (but similar in Numbers 2).
    If you don't see this, there is something very wrong!
    If there is no menubar, perhaps the keyboard shortcut command p will bring up a print dialogue.
    I hold 2 fingers down on my trackpad, and "print" is not an option.
    That doesn't work for me. Never has.
    System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll and Zoom shows Double-tap with two fingers for Smart Zoom, nothing at all to do with Print.
    Please reply with a screen shot of a small part of your screen (large shots are often difficult to read).
    To take a screen shot,
    1. hold down the shift and command keys, then type 4. The cursor will change to crosshairs. Release the shift and command keys.
    2. Drag over that part of your screen then release the mouse/trackpad. A screen shot will appear on your desktop.
    3. In a reply to a message, click on the camera icon in the Toolbar above your reply and
    4. Choose File > Choose > Insert Image.
    If this does not work, Close the Insert Box (red cross on the top right) and go back to Step 3. Camera icon sometimes needs a wake-up call, but works the second time.
    Remove any personal details before taking the screen shot.
    Regards,
    Ian.
