My iphone 4 will not open docx files.  they all show as winmail.dat files.  I've checked settings in Outlook.

Hello-
My iphone appears to have stopped being able to open docx email attachments.  I don't do it really frequently, so am uncertain if it's because of the last software update or not.  I am using 5.1.1 on an iphone 4.  Anyone else having this problem?

Update - I found the iphoto cache deleted it.  This did not work.... it still cannot find the photos.  I then placed all the photos on my desktop and synced my phone to the folder.  It found ALL the pictures on my desktop folder.  I would still prefer to find a fix, so I can sync my photos to iPhoto....

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • Spotify on iphone will not open

    Spotify on iphone will not open.Yesterday it was working. Today it will not open. I checked my mac it still will works.  Any solution?
    I already deleted and installed it three times. I also shut down and restarted my iphone. But I still can not get Spotify to open. Thanks for help

    Peter,
    So this is the fix finally. Forget the links
     change your Region Format settings to USA.
    iPhone/iPod Settings > General > International > Region Format > then change country
     Obviously 17,000 posts and 5300 Kudos you know what you are talking about. . I don't understand why customer support at the company doesn't just come out and say the new app is screwed. Many others are having the same issue. Technical support is a joke it's a bunch of high school students cutting and pasting the same questions. Someone should have emailed this simple sentence above 2 days ago. Maybe its all  ploy so that when Apple launches its streaming service Spotify will become the next Etoys or Netscape. Anyway Peter thank you for your attention. Tell Spotify they owe you some extra stock options
     

  • I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro ?

    Hi Jenny, I just had to do that, for the 3rd time. It is a pity though when one pays for such expensive software that this happens, specifically when the only Adobe help is to tell you to post your problem on a forum and hope someone can help you. Not good enough and not what I expected when I bought it. I am so disappointed in Adobe.

  • When forwarding mail i select a group to send mail and when i go to select another group it will not open for me to select other emails in that file.

    when forwarding mail i select a group to send mail and when i go to select another group it will not open for me to select other emails in that file.

    When you select a "group", it automatically selects everyone in that group.
    If your just trying to add other people outside that group, then in the "To" make sure the curser is just after the last entry and you can hold your finger on that line to get your contact list to pop up or after the last entry you should have showing after that ;    
    Example:   [email protected]; [email protected];          *notice the ; then a space for the next one

  • My iphone will not open.  The little apple appears on the creen and it looks like it is trying to open, but it doesn't

    My Iphone will not open.  The little apple appears, but I can't get the open screen to appear

    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.

  • HT201413 suddenly itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention" is blocking itunes from opening....why????

    itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention (DEP)" feature in Windows is preventing it from opening. (this is after I've been using itunes for years???? If I try to manually deselect itunes from the DEP filter, of course I get a message that itunes cannot operate without the DEP active...another Catch 22 from the evil program designers....

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • When I send out mail from MS Outlook enterprise account in the office to my Mac at home they are received as "winmail.dat" files.  Even if I perform a "save as" to the correct file name the file format is still not recognized.  Why is this happening!?

    I would honestly try this. It is how to restore your phone and see if it works.

  • My mac will not open the adobe reader, it shows a foreign language in the response box when I try to open up something from the internet?

    Please help, My Mac will not open when I rtry to download something from the internet, a box with foreign language appears in the textbox?

    I have seen this a couple of times over the last few days here in the forum; the Reader 11.0.7 plugin for Mac displays the message in Japanese.  Here is the English translation.
    Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement then quit and relaunch the browser.
    Do it, and the message will disappear.

  • Firefox will not open Gmail, or load all the data on the google tab and will not load Outlook lite on a webpage correctly.

    In the last couple of days when I start Firefox it will not properly load the Google home page I set up. It will not load the calendar or Date and Time. When I try to open gmail it will not open. I use Internet mail using outlook lite and it does not open properly formatted. All of these problems did not exist until two days ago. I have even gone back and did a system restore 8 days ago to see if that would correct the problem.
    Thank you

    For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.

  • TS3276 why is jpeg file lost and replaced with winmail.dat file in mail

    I sent a jpeg file to my hotmail account, which is synchronised in my Mac Mail but the file was lost/converted to winmail.dat attachment, which I couldn't import to iPhoto. How do I import a jpeg image, emailed to me from an external source, to iPhoto?

    I think you need to configure Outlook in Windows to use HTML messages.
    Here is Microsoft's incomprehensible support document on the issue.
    Here is one from about.com that makes sense.
