Lion-Windows users cannot see attachments

I just upgraded to Lion, and now some Windows users cannot see/find attachments. I did all that was advised (clicking on the "Windows user friendly" list), but to no avail. I sent to several Windows users and no one can see attachments with the new Mail program. Also, one of the most important icons in the Mail toolbar ("Add Attachment") seems to be missing. This sometimes helped in previous Mail versions when sending to PCs, but I cannot locate it in Lion. Looks like I will have to use Microsoft Office Outlook for email. This is too bad, as I like the other features the new Apple Mail program has, but must use a trustworhty email program.

Scott,
The issue is one I am chasing, and is due to Lion's change to not send Plain Text (apparently). Although changed in the Compose window, when reviewed, it will have been sent with HTML, anyway.
While the actual problem is with MS and Outlook or Outlook Express, the work around once was to use the command to Make Plain Text before sending.

Windows user cannot see files copied into a folder

File share is on a Windows 2008 (R1) server.
We use shared folders as mailboxes for users. When the file scanning person (Heidi) scans the incoming paper mail, it is placed in each user's individual mail folder on a shared drive. Each user has full control permissions on their mail folder.
All of our users are running Windows 7 Pro x64, with the exception of two people who run Windows XP SP3. Heidi is one of those users.
Angela has a mail folder with full control permissions. When Heidi scans something from her desktop and places it in Angie's mail folder, Angela cannot see it from her computer. Anyone else can see it fine.
I set up a Windows 7 VM and logged in as Angela and I can see the file with no problems. So the only time Angie can't see her files is when she's logged in to her computer in her own office. Anyone know why?

Hi,
You did not mentioned the system version of Angela so I assume it is a Windows 7 system.
There is a known issue when Windows 7 users accessing a folder, newly created or deleted files are not updated immediately. Please test the following hotfix.
SMB2 directory cache is not updated correctly if a file is deleted in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2646563/en-us
Also the rollup update is always recommended to be installed:
An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

PC users cannot see attachments. Why?

When sending attachments to PC users, I get a lot of people saying that nothing was attached. I end up having to zip everything for PC users.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
thanks

Try sending Plain Text emails.
Format -> Make Plain Text

Why is it when I convert a Keynote show into HTML, PC users cannot see it properly? Using latest OS and Keynote versions.

Why is it when I convert a keynote show into HTML, PC users cannot see it properly on their computers?

There is never any guarantee that automatically generated html will look right on every browser, especially Explorer. For max compatibility with MS stuff it's best to use Office to start with instead of iWorks.
I don't know whether you could manually edit the Keynote html to make it work better with Explorer. It would be interesting to know whether it looks right in Windows Safari, Chrome, or FireFox so you could know whether only IE does it wrong.

I have a application installed in my apps folder but others users cannot see them

I installed an app on my imac using OSX Lion. The app is in the application folder of the admin account. The other standard users cannot see the app. Is there a way that they can use the app and see it in the application folder when they log in?

Then move it into their application folders as well.

My users cannot see my java applets

I have a few java applets on my web page, but most of the users cannot see them.
I have changed my html's with the HTML Converter, hoping to overcome the problem, and got the following codes in my html's:
In the <OBJECT> tag:
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0
In the <EMBED> tag:
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index.html#download
Questions:
1. Will these URL's in the html automatically download, or tell the user about the java installations he needs?
2. Is it the Java-Plugin or the Java Virtual Machine users have to download to view java programs?
Even if you don't have the answer I would be grateful if you can tell me if you are able see my java applet. If you can, you should see a flashing text reading "Mixed" in the middle of this page:

Best regards,

Questions:
1. Will these URL's in the html automatically
download, or tell the user about the java
installations he needs?Yes, on most browsers, the URLs and html you have written will automatically download the plugin or tell them where to go to get it. As a rule of thumb, if your users are on IE the plugin will automaitcally be downloaded. If your users are on Netscape they will be directed to the url in the embed tag. Your page looks right. It could be the code has an error in it and it is not the html. See my previous reply. Looks for errors and post them for me to see.
2. Is it the Java-Plugin or the Java Virtual Machine
users have to download to view java programs?The Java plugin run the Java Virtual Machine. So, they have to download both to view applets, but they come together since the Java Virtual Machine is inside the Java Plugin.

OK i am a step forward.
i checked help.sap.com and find a hint to the Security Zones.
Defining Permissions for Security Zones
1. Navigate to Security Zones ® com.sap.nw.wpc ® wpc.
2. In the context menu of the following folders, choose Open Permissions and define the permissions specified.
Permissions for Security Zones
Folders
Roles/Groups
Permissions
medium_safety
Site owners, editors, and authors (for example, the wpc_editor_role role)
Select the End User checkbox.
You can leave the default entry for the Administrator column as None.
no_safety
Visitors (for example, the everyone group)
Select the End User checkbox.
You can leave the default entry for the Administrator column as None.
I changed the no_safety (i added Group - Everyone)
Now i can see the Page.. but i also see at the top right of the page: EDIT PAGE
And a Standart EndUser should not see: Edit Page
What can i do here?

New Jabber user cannot see (only) one of the added buddies

Running ichat server, just a handful of OD users. OD is on the same machine as Ichat server. Nothing is limiting the use of Ichat by any of the OD users. Server G5 10.4.9, Clients managed Intel Imacs 10.4.9
Added a new user.
New user can add buddies in the Jabber List.
New user can see all but 1 of them in the List.
One of the buddies, lets say UserX, can see the new user in her Jabber List.
No matter what we have tried from within Ichat the new user cannot see UserX.
Both users are members of the same groups and have matching access abilities.
Any suggestions. Thanks for looking at this.

New user can see all but 1 of them in the List.
If I understand it this correctly, 'new user' can see all other buddies except one. And all the other users can see this buddy.
Lets call the new user "userX" and the one they cannot see "userY" and lets call your ichat server "jabber.myserver.com"
The configuration files for users buddylist is stored in the spool di rectorywhich you can find at /var/jabber/spool/. In there you will find a directory the matches the name of your ichat server. For me that is jabber.clayford.com. In this directory you will find one xml file for eash user of ichat server. Their file name is the OD logon name for the server.
Stop the ichat server service and make back up of any files you edit before you start.
Open the file for "userX.xml" In this file you will see some xml code that starts <item jid='[email protected]' subscription='xxxxxx'>. there will be a number of them, one for each buddy.
Mke sure the xxxxxx is the word 'both' [with the quotes] and if the text ask='subscribe' exists in that line before the >,remove it. So that definition should now be: <item jid='[email protected]' subscription='both'>.
Save the file and now open the file userY.xml and check that the item <item jid='[email protected]' subscription='both'> exists.
Restart the ichat server and the problem should be fixed...

One user cannot see Inactive Addresses in Account Overview

One user cannot see Inactive Addresses in Account Overview in the CRM 7.0 IC.
This user has the same roles and authorizations as all the other users.
We have also performed a user comparison in CRM and ERP and have also reset the user buffers in both systems.
If I copy the user to another user in CRM and ERP the copied user can see the Inactive addresses. A user comparison shows that the user and copied user are identical.
Any ideas?

Windows users cannot open my Pages documents

Even though I check Windows Friendly Attachment, Windows users cannot open my Pages documents. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

If the only questions we're going to answer are the ones that aren't already answered in the manual, then these discussions will consist of little more than directing people to page numbers. Yes, it would be nice if people read the manual before posting here. But everyone's brain works a little differently, and I don't mind if nice people ask questions that can be solved by reading the manual or doing a search in this discussion group. Even figuring out how to find things in the manual isn't intuitive to a lot of people.
In terms of helping people, it's actually a lot less work to provide a solution for them than to look it up in the manual, then come back and report the page number.

My windows friends cannot read attachments from my e-mails

My Windows friends cannot read attachments from my e-mails

If the attachments are common files that your recipients should be able to read (PDF, DOC, TXT) then what is the setting when you select the menu command Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments (checked or unchecked).
If it's unchecked you should check that setting and retry.

Windows users cannot open window friendly attachments

Hello All,
I have sent "windows friendly" attachments from Mail but Windows recipients cannot open the attachments. This is with .tiff , .pages, etc. I have also tried to change the file name to .doc, .tif, etc. The only attachments that seem to work are .pdf . The check box "send windows friendly" is always checked.
Any way around this?

I tried it and it works. From Pages I did this:
1.
2. Clicked Word Doc.
3. Then saved to desktop so it is easy to find
At first what I did was attach a "Windows Friendly" from Mail. Which you would think would make it "ok" for a pc user. Guess not... (see below)
Thanks for everybody's help!

Windows users not seeing my attachments, and other issues

After being an Entourage users for years, I finally switched to Mail/Address Book/iCal/.mac combo when Leopard came out. After using Mail for a few weeks, I have some questions:
1. In Entourage, I could paste an image from the Clipboard (say, a screenshot via Command-Shift-Control-4) into a message, and everyone could see it. When I do that now, none of my Windows friends can see the image. All they get is a blank box with a red x in it. What are the methods in Mail that work for sending attachments?
2. If I get an email from someone, I want to know if they're already in my Address Book. Is there a way to do that? If I right-click on the person's email address, a drop down says "Add to..." and it will add them, even if they're already in my Address Book, which leads to duplicates and even triplicates. I find myself duplicating contacts virtually every day. In Entourage, if you clicked "Add to Address Book" and it that person was already in the Address book, it would toss up a window, saying that this address was already in there, do you want to view it, or add to existing contact.
3. No categories. If I get an email from someone that treats me with familiarity, but I don't recognize them, there's no way to go into my address book and tell what relationship I have with that contact. Client? Acquaintence? Purchaser? Relative I only met once 6 years ago? This is because there seems to be no way to attach a category to each contact. Once you have over 2000 contacts, it becomes difficult to remember what each one is there for. Did they purchase a product on my site? Or are they a vendor? Someone I met at a party? There is the Mail Group function, but those act more like Smart folders. But those groups aren't attached to the actual contact, so when viewing the All Contacts, there's no way of telling who's who. Even if there were simply a way to color each contact, those colors could act as a category, and one could sort by them. This is my major concern right now with Mail over Entourage. Any ideas on how you are handling this?
4. There doesn't seem to be any way to grab the entire mailing address in one Copy. You can highlight/copy the address, street and zip, and paste that into, for instance, a Dymo label, but you have to go back and grab the name separately. Any way to completely grab the mailing contact information?
5. If I search for, say, "Comcast" in the Address Book, I logically get all of the contacts that have "comcast.com" in their email address. But there should be a way where it gives precedent to the actual Comcast company contact, instead of having to scroll through hundreds of contacts to find the actual company. I'm finding this for many companies that happen to also have their name in the Notes section of many contacts. I guess I don't have a question on this point, just pointing out something.
Thanks for any tips.

It would help us help you if you posted the URL to the html file that holds the QuickTime file.
A QT MPEG-4 file should be viewable on a Mac or PC running QuickTime version 6, or higher. A 36 minute movie that is not set to "fast start" would require the entire file be downloaded prior to playback and that would take a few hours over my pitiful Texas dial-up connection.

Windows users cannot open my Mail attachments

I run into periodic Windows users who cannot open my attachments. Initially they claim they did not receive them, however on further inspection they have received them, just cannot open them.
These files are in various formats: jpg. tif. pdf. I include all file extensions and I send as Windows Friendly Attachment.
What can be done to remedy this problem?

Have you tried Zipping them before attaching? Sometimes this helps.
Finder, ctrl, menu, Archive. (This Zips a duplicate, on my machine).
