Opening .dat and .log files on iOS?

I couldn't be sure which forum to put this under. I'm looking for an app that can open these two file types. Editing is not a requirement.

Its hard to say without knowing the actual format and contents of said files. log files can be plain text. So any Text editor should be able to open them just fine unlesss they log is in some other perhaps binary format. DAT files are usually containers ofr other formats, so without knowng what is in them again its hard to suggest anythng.
What apps have you tried if any?

Does Mail Drop have a feature to let you know if someone has downloaded your file.

I have been searching to find out more details about how it works.
Is there any way to receive confirmation or to view a record to see if the recipient who has been sent your large Mail Drop file has downloaded it?
Also is there any way to remove something off of the server once it has been sent?
Thanks!

No. This is why I don't have an iPhone yet (although mine is finally on order). The closest you are going to get is the ATT Microcell, but they are sort of the opposite technology. The UMA phones allow you to access any wireless network and make calls (as long as you have access to that network). Calls come out of your regular minutes, as they are removing the HotSpot@Home feature, which let you make unlimited calls via wifi.
The Microcell hooks to your wireless network, and works as a cell tower in your home. You can purchase a $20 per month service so that Microcell calls don't count against your allotted minutes, but at that point, you may as well just buy an unlimited minute plan.
The only thing the iPhone had up to this point was some services like Skype or iCall that let you do VoIP, but it wasn't making and receiving calls on your number, PLUS you couldn't be using another app.
I have been with TMO because of the UMA feature, and my wife and I both have BlackBerries. We are switching to iPhones now that Microcell is available. TMO has really seemed to be abandoning UMA for the most part. No Android phones have it.

I cannot open my mail. I updated Java and I updated my version of Firefox and it still doesn't open.

You suggested that I update Java which I did and I also installed a new version of Firefox and it still won't allow me to open my mail.

Which version of iOS is currently installed.
Which model of iPod do you have?
Is there a Model No. etched in to the back casing, if so, what is it?
Where and how are you getting this update. Does iTunes prompt you and tell you there is a new version?

I have drop box installed but I get e-mails that and the attachment goes to drop box but I can't open most of the files

I have dropbox installed and most files that go to drop box open OK but some files fail to open and I get a message that my apps don't support thoses files. Help!

Certain files like WMV need 3rd party Apps to open.

I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Zip file Mail attachment download in ios 7

Hi
I have downlaoded a zip file attachment from my Mail in ios 7 on Iphone. I am not able to locate the location of the file.
Please help me in locating the file.
Thanks

Hi,
as I found this in wikipedia:
Another common problem is the use of '\n' when communicating using an Internet protocol that mandates the use of ASCII CR+LF for ending lines. Writing '\n' to a text mode stream works correctly on Windows systems, but produces only LF on Unix, and something completely different on more exotic systems. Using "\r\n" in binary mode is slightly better, as it works on many ASCII-compatible systems, but still fails in the general case. One approach is to use binary mode and specify the numeric values of the control sequence directly, "\x0D\x0A".
Back to my issue:
In the UDF I am adding "\r\n" but only the "\n" seems to survive!
In Mapping test line feeds are available and the lines are shown as expected.
Using Notepad ++ to open the created txt file from the mail shows that LF is in the file at each end of line but CR is missing.
CR is only at the end of the last line in the file and is not from the UDF that creates the mail or the UDF that creates the attachment lines. Seems that this is added somewhere else behind the mapping.
This is what I found in galileo computing
(http://www.galileocomputing.de/glossar/gp/anzeige-11241/FirstLetter-Z, SORRY, only available in german language!):
In Parsing of XML-Documents the XML-Parser changes the end of line delimiter internally in general to a simple line feed (LF, #0A) as usual in UNIX. ..... In Windows this could result in problems with readability of source texts (e.g. in Notepad) which can be solved by choosing the right editor.
My target application is on Windows and not able to "choose" the right editor (PI system is on windoes OS too) !
But Im wondering where the CR at the end of the text comes from when all the \r\n will be replaced with \n as described.
Ideas are really welcome!
Best regards
Dirk

Dropping files to fullscreen apps through mission control results in app folder opening and in some sort of task switching madness

In Snow Leopard I got used to attach documents in mails by dragging and dropping files from the desktop to the message window. To do so I used active corners (spaces, exposé). Now, with Mission Control in Lion I've tried to keep that workflow but this leads me to an awkward problem. To reproduce it in my computer I do the following:
Pick up a file from the desktop --> drag it to lower right corner (opens mission control) --> drag it to full screen mail space, press space to switch (applications folder opens inside mission control), and a lot of apps too (those the cursor hovered).
At the same time, mail full screen window opens (as waiting time selected in finder preferences for triggering is short), then Lion turns crazy entering in some sort of spasmodic task switching mode, which lasts after I find some clear space to drag the file back in the desktop.
Did any other user experience something similar? Is there something I could do to help to fix the problem?
Thanks for you answers.
[Edit: Ok, so I started trying with other apps and it turns that every time I drag and drop any file to a fullscreen app in mission control and use the space key to open it, I get a similar behavior. I did it in Scrivener and it resulted in photoshop and itunes opening, Scrivener vanished and but left an empty (like dashboard's) desktop.]

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
>>Running bootcamped Win7, yes power consumption is more, a lot more,....indications are no.
Sorry, can you clarify on this one - do you mean the power consumption is more DURING the use of Windows, or ALL of the time (even when using the Mac as normal with OSX).... also what did you mean by indications?
>>From the parameters of what you say your use would be, Id recommend the I5 with 8gig of ram. the 12 hour >>batt. life is only rated for the 13" on the I5, ....not the I7.
Sounds like my first guess was about right - and good point about the battery life - as that is something that's quite important to me!
>>The "switch" is extremely easy. Ive seen grandmothers switch to a MAC and have its 'everyday use' >>conquered in under a week. So, you should have no worries, its extremely user friendly, no worries of virus, >>etc.
Glad to hear I've done more research and already seen a few features I can see myself preferring a lot more to the Windows system!
>>As a former computer repairman, Ive owned nearly 200 diff. laptops (many were free, or Franken-computers >>built from parts) and I can honestly say the Macbook AIR is the finest piece of beloved hardware Ive ever >>owned by a mile.
>>Many people incorrectly see the THIN nature of the Air and incorrectly conjecture its "less than" a full laptop, >>but the contrary is the case.
Nah, I don't associate size with performance - especially these days, everything is getting smaller. My concerns are really just about whether to upgrade for extra performance, and using the OS - once I have those nailed I am pretty cofident the hardware will perform well.
>>Additionally the AIR is the only Mac that has 802AC wifi, new Haswell cool-running processor, and extremely >>long 12 Hr. batt life on the I5 13" configuration.
Yeah that battery life is one of the big sellers
Cheers for the tips,

I can't open the attachment to a mail. I must open it i FileApp. but it says that there no App installed that open this type of file. What can I do? I've got iPad 2, version 4.3.3 (8J2) My age: 69 and not so good at computers.

I can't open the attachment to a mail. When I'm trying to open it in FileApp, I get the answer: "FileApp doesn't recognise
this file type.Would you like to try to open in.....
     another App
     as text file
     cancel
When I open it it in another App I get the answer:"there are no application installed on your device that can open
this type of file.
When I open it as a text file, it's loading and loading.....forever?
What shall I do?
PS I'm 70 and not good at computers

Hello Mats in Sweden!
I'm from Austria, not so far away! The file that you've received seems to be a Windows Media File and you may need a special software for your iPad to be able to open it. I've found something HERE.
If you open this link on your iPad it should take you to the App Store, resp. open it. The price for this app is 1,59 €.

Unable to double-click or drag/drop files to open.

I'm running Photoshop CC 64 on a Windows 7 64 machine and am only able to open files in Photoshop by going to File->Open. Double-clicking from Explorer doesn't work and i can not drag/drop files into the open application window or taskbar icon. Right clicking on files and selecting "Open with" also doesn't work.
I checked file associations and made sure to choose CC 64. If I right click on the shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator" which I have to do in order to get files to open between Lightroom and Photoshop (both need to be Run As Administrator), I'm still unable to open from Windows Explorer. However, if I check the box to "Run this program as administrator" in the shortcut's Compatibility tab, I can double-click to open from Explorer but am prompted with a UAC warning every time. Dragging/dropping into the open app still doesn't work.
Opening between Bridge and PS works as expected so long as both programs are "Run As Administrator"
Been searching the forums here and seen suggestions of similar but not the same issue, at least not that I've found.
Anyone else experiencing? Suggested remedies?

This is an OS permission problem. Make sure you have ownership of the HD. Do a web search on how to check. External HD can be a problem for permission.

Running iOS 10.6.8 on a MacBook. Suddenly Moneydance will not open my account data files. Does anyone know how I can access that information again!?

I'm running iOS 10.6.8 on a MacBook. Yesterday (08/15/14) a software program, Moneydance, stopped opening my account data files. I've tried various ways of accessing them, but the software program is asking me to open an entirely new account (I only see the "Welcome" page). I can see files in my library, but they are grayed out. I am also trying to get help from the Software manufacturer. Could this be a software update complication?

Contact the program developer. Unless you did something yourself, I would suspect that the program developer made some sort of change. Without knowing anything about the application, it is a guess to try to determine what happened.

How do I open an HTML file for iOS using acrobat?

This is a forum for Adobe Reader for iOS. Acrobat doesn't run on iOS. You need to run it on a Mac or Windows computer. In Acrobat, you can choose File > Create > PDF from Web Page to do what you want. You cannot do that in iOS.

Can't Open Excel Files in iOS 6

One of my co workers upgraded to the new iOS 6 last week and now they can't open some of the Excel files from their iPhone 4S. I can open the file with no problem, I have iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4S. iOS 6 can open some of the excel files, but I know it can't open them all. Some of the .xlsx files will open but some can't. Anyone else having this problem?

Here is the pic of what happens why he opens the file on iOS 6. It does not go any further. I open it fine with no problems, I am on iOS 5.1.1

I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:
