Mail no longer can open unrecognized file

In iOS 4, if mail encountered an attachment of unrecognized file type I would have the option of opening it with another application (e.g., FileApp, Evernote, etc.); when trying to open the same file in iOS 5, I get "Mail cannot open this attachment." And I don't see a way to map the attachment file type to another application.

Workaround of sorts - mail will recognise .zip extension so if you know someone is sending something to you get them to zip first if your target app supports that - still bad show by apple.

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

Is FCP X the end of FCP for pros? Has Apple abandoned us? No longer can open my older files?

It looks like FCP X is a useless app for any pro application. With no capture from or to tape (Which is still widely used in the pro industry) and we will no longer be able to open a version of our edit from any previous FCP project. The exports and imports have been severly limited. What is Apple doing? Why make FCP more like imovie? Obviously the changes were designed by guys in suits and designers who have no experience in the industry. I guess it's time to switch back to Avid or even Adobe Premiere. I know my company is selling 40 of their Mac work stations and switching to PC and Premiere. Something I don't want to do but if I want to contine working in the industry it may not be a choice.
BAD MOVE APPLE.

>Is FCP X the end of FCP for pros?
Yes ... at least until FCPX is much more muture and robust than it is now.
>Has Apple abandoned us?
Yes.
>No longer can open my older files?
Correct.
>What is Apple doing?
Making money.
>Why make FCP more like imovie?
Because that's where the market is most profitable for them.
>I guess it's time to switch back to Avid or even Adobe Premiere.
My plan as well.

Is there an application that can open idd files besides InDesign?

I create customized training documents, and they have gotten too large to be supported in MS Word. So, I'm looking at moving over to InDesign, but not everyone on my team will need all the power of InDesign. For example, my editors only need to modify the copy as needed. For such minor work, I do not want to purchase 10 copies of InDesign. Is there an inexpensive application out there that can open idd files for minor editing? If not, has anyone used Photoshop to create a graphically rich 200 page document, and used Elements for text editing?

No comment on Photoshop/Elements aside from that being like using a screwdriver to hammer a bolt into a lemon. Possible, but probably messy and likely to leave a sour taste...
Now, on to the InDesign portion of the question.
You do not need for your editors to have InDesign.
Option 1) Use MS Word (or any other text editor) to edit the copy of all the stories. Pro: common app that you already have. Con: unable to see results in final file.
Option 2) Use Adobe InCopy to edit the copy of all the stories. Pro: InCopy can 'open' InDesign files to allow editors to see the effect of their copy changes. Con: new application to purchase and learn.
InCopy is made for what you have in mind, so long as the minor editing is all text.

So the new ipad can open PPS files?

I recall with the previous generations (ipad 1, 2) you had to download a software like Keynote to open an attachment file in PPS format. It seems the new ipad can open such files straight out of box without installing any additional program. Is it because of the 5.1 update?

Wow...just wow... I love when I fix my own tech problems.
As mentioned before I felt my iTunes was the problem even though it was up to date.
I un-installed it and ensured I re-installed a 64bit version of it.
I synced it with the iPad but nothing changed.
Then I realised that maybe my zone alarm firewall might be the cause of all my problems even though I already tried syncing with zone alarm off (which didn't work) I thought maybe updating it to the latest version would fix the issue. I have long been aware that zone alarm has cause different issues with iTunes and iProducts. I don't know if anyone has ever covered it on these forums.
After installing the most current version of zone alarm firewall. I synced my iPad with iTunes and IT WORKED. My videos now play on the iPad perfectly.
Hopefully this new version of zone alarm won't cause any other conflicts otherwise I maybe have to remove it.
So in summary, ensure you are using the latest version of iTunes. If you are using zone alarm firewall. Update it or if that doesnt work then uninstall it complete and use another firewall.
Thanks to all who offered their suggestions.

I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months without having any problems with it. Recently I am having trouble with my Yahoo Mail. I can open it fine, but 2 out of 3 times when I try to actually open a message, the spinning ball comes on the screen and does not stop. Sometimes, I can log out or force quit and come back in to my account and use it. Other times, I run into the same problem. Any suggestions?

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder. Restart Safari. If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
Thanks. This was the solution for me.

Tried to "Open As" in PS a NEF file I modified in LR. Got the following error message: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file." I can "Open" the file in PS, but then the changes I made in LR (and saved in the associated meta data file with the "Control S" command) are not applied to the opened PS file. HELP!

If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

You can’t. You have upgrade or have whoever is send you files save as IDML. Don’t expect perfection.

Close and restart Photoshop if you have not already done so.
In Photoshop, go to the Help - About Plug-in... menu then choose Camera Raw. What version does it say there?

downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here. You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network. That's bad. Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network. So stop doing it.
As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information. There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot. Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

Since the last update my Numbers app in IOS, iPad3 and iphone5 will not open. It works fine on my macbook pro. It starts but before I can open a file it closes.

Since the last update my Numbers app will not load in either my iPad3 or my iPhone5. It works fine on my MacBook Pro. The app starts but before I can open a file it closes. Is this a common problem and do you know hwo to solve it?

Hi Michael,
If you've already restarted both your iOS devices after the update and Numbers for iOS still won't load, you might try clearing the documents temporarily out of iCloud, opening the apps, closing them, and then placing the documents back in iCloud.
To do this, in Finder on your Mac, hold down the option key and then Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers. Move the documents there out to the Desktop or other location of your choosing. Then give iCloud time to sync. Then try opening Numbers on iPad and on the iPhone. If they open, then close them, and move the documents back into Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and let iCloud sync again.
That sometimes clears up the problem.

I can open pdf files in emails, but not on websites. I have the new Reader.

I can open pdf files in emails, but not on websites, as I was able to a couple of weeks ago. On websites I get the message, "Adobe Acrobat has crashed". I downloaded the new Adobe Reader and that didn't help. I don't have Adobe Acrobat, on Adobe Reader.

Windows 7, Google Chrome and the most recent Adobe Reader (just downloaded the same day). The problem is with Google Chrome, as Fire Fox works fine. I tried enabling and disabling what would read pdf files in Chrome plugins and found that the only thing that worked was to disable adobe reader and enable chrome reader, which is the opposite of what was reccomended in answer to other adobe forum questions that were similar to mine.
