.wmv is a proprietary Windows format.
There are some apps that supposedly play .wmv. Search for them in the App Store. I have heard of one called oplayer. I do not have it.

  • How do I open a mime attachment on my iphone ?

    How do I open a mime attachment on my iphone email?

    You can't.
    All attachments must be encoded before being sent and MIME 1.0 is the industry standard for message encoding.
    When receiving a message with an attachment file type that cannot be recognized by the email client and/or by the computer/device used, MIME attachment will appear instead.
    This can mean the attachment that was sent is a file type that cannot be accessed/viewed by the iPhone. I also see the same on occasion when a received message was forwarded by the sender and the message received by the sender contains an attachment that can be accessed/viewed by the iPhone but the original message that was forwarded was composed in HTML which can do screwy things with email on occasion - personally I wish HTML would be forbidden with the exchange of email - this along with forbidding the use of the AOL program to send email with attachments.

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

    I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

    We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
    Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This might help as well.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

  • Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow......

    I have an email with an attachment that requires a password the open.  I can open the file but embedded in the attachment is another attachment.  When I double click attachment I get the following error message.  Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

    You would need to make a change to your registry; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/attachments.html
    Basically you would need to add the .pdf with the permission 2.
    Let us know if you need help with that.  Either way, make sure to create a System Restore Point before editing the registry.

  • Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.

    Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.
    In Snow Leopard Mail 4, (Version 4.0 (1075/1075.2)) if I attach a word document to a message and, BEFORE sending the message, I double click the attached document to open it, to make sure it is the right one, I get the error "Mail was unable to save the attachment “Test.doc” to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writable."
    The attachment is mailed correctly and arrives at the destination, but the ability to verify an attached document before sending it is essential. This has worked fine in all previous editions of OS X.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks - Lawrence

    I have same problem. I've done the following testing to pinpoint where the problem lies and there are clues (see below):
    1. My machine had SnowLeopard installed "fresh" (i.e. disk reformat and installed cleanly)
    2. I have a comparison machine running Leopard (10.5.6) - essentially a mirror but with different OS
    3. Problem is triggered when creating new email, with a MS Word .doc attachment added. If you attempt to open the attached file in the mail (not yet sent) it produces the error message "unable to save file XXX.doc to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writeable"
    4.However, once the mail is sent, the recipient can open the attachment without problems.
    5. I have run Disk Utility and all permissions are correct. My downloads folder exists.
    6. The problem is not present in Leopard (mirror machine other than OS)
    7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office. Problem still present
    8. I have deleted and recreated the preference files for both MS Office and for Mail. Problem still present.
    And finally...
    9.The problem is confined to .doc files.It works fine for .pdf, .ods AND even for Microsoft .xls files.
    So it may be a MS Word problem triggered by Snow Leopard?
    Apple: if you can confirm this is a Microsoft problem it may be able to be reported to them as a compatibility issue?
    Hope this helps.

  • I cannot open a PDF attachment in Mac Mail

    I can see the attachment that arrived but I cannot open it on the Mac. I have no issues opening it in webmail under Windows.
    As if this would not be enough I am running into something else hard to understand. On the Mac I could not post this question, it never allowed me to go beyond entering the title for the question. I am now submitting from Windows.... Obviously I was logged in on the Mac. This is like a bad joke, having to report a Mac issue by using Windows because the Mac doesn't even allow me to report the problem...
    Any help for both issues would be appreciated.

    I sent myself 4 attachments (PDFs). Two came across as Icons, two were embedded in the Email. I was able to open and print them all. So maybe there is something "strange" about the one I cannot see/open on the Mac, only on the PC....
    Why is that some PDFs some PDFs come in as icons others are embedded?
    ================================
    Going back to the other topic I had in this thread: I can go back to this thread on the Mac. I tried to post again a new question from the Mac and I CANNOT do it.  It doesn't do anything beyond allowing me to enter the subject.
    I am wondering if there is an administrator for this form who can provide help in the is case. It is really not a good thing for Apple to require that I use a PC to get help for other problems for the Mac....  I do know that this is a user community but it does run under Apple's site, so I would assume that they moderators, administrators, etc like for other user communities who can help in a case like this one. Does anyone know how to access help for the forum? Thanks
    I agree that the one is an anomaly. I have no idea why some are embedded and some are icons.
    When you attempted to post and start a thread, did you go to "new?" That would bring up a template for starting a thread. IMHO, if you are able to post at all, there is no impediment to beginning a thread.

  • Mail opens as "mime-attachment"

    Many times when I get emails, they arrive as a blank mail document with a "mime-attachment". It happens in Mail 3, Mail 2 and in both 10.4 and 10.5. I can open the mail in text-edit. Sometimes I can simply read the email, many times, I can see the references to websites and files. Obviously, this is not how it is meant to display.
    Is there a setting or preference I'm missing?
    Thanks folks

    I'm having the same problem. It has nothing to do with incoming or outgoing attachments, or the incoming message having been forwarded. It happened with 2 incoming messages this morning. They were sent directly to me, not forwarded, and did not have attachments as such, (although they may have contained graphics--e.g., color, special fonts, little pictures). If I go to my webmail, I can read the text of the messages, but when they are downloaded to "Mail (2.1.2)", I see only "mime-attachment". The suggestion of one poster to add the extension .eml, then try to open, did not work for me. Is there no solution to this problem?
    Thanks.

  • TS1347 ios 7: how can i open a mime-attachment.ics file?

    since i installed ios7 on my iphone i can not open mime-attachment.ics (invitation sent from an outlook email) files in my calendar. does anyone know what i can do to open these files in my calendar?

    All email attachments are encoded before being sent are encoded with MIME.
    If your receive an email attachment that is not recognized by the computer or mobile device, that usually means there is not an application available on the computer or mobile device that is compatible with the attachment type.
    For the iPhone's email client:
    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); .zip; .ics

  • Cannot open .eml attachments (attached RFC/822 email messages) in iPhone Mail - iOS 5.1

    I cannot open attached emails (such as those in .eml format) in iOS mail, but I seem to recall this working in iOS 4. (Can't remember for sure.) Is anyone else having the same problem? For me they just show up as garbled pieces of headers, not even as attachments.
    For more information see Can iOS open .eml files?

    Am I really the only one out there who cannot open emails attached inside emails on the iPhone? I see 31 people have viewed this so far but no replies.
    To make sure this wasn't a problem with my mail provider (an IMAP server on a proprietary Linux box), I also tried sending an email with an attached email to my me.com/iCloud account. Same problem there. The webmail interface on iCloud.com deals with the attachment just fine, but not the Mail app on the iPhone. It doesn't even display as an attachment on the iPhone.

  • Cannot Open E-Mail Attachements

    I have a Mac Book Pro and I am finding I cannot open attachments that my husband sends from his computer that is Windows based. I always get win mail.dat as the title of the attachment and when I download it I get a picture of a traffic cone with orange strips on it and I still cannot open it.

    That winmail.dat attachment is a kind of Outlook/Exchange-ecosystem "universal" container for encoded files of many types. If you husband cannot adjust the settings in his email program to avoid the use of the container file, there are programs that you can run on your Mac to decode it. One such is called "TNEF's Enough" ("TNEF" standing for "Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format" used to encode winmail.dat attachments).
    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Neutral_Encapsulation_Format for more information.
