Opening attachments on my new macbook!! please help

Hi, I have only recently bought a new white mac book! So far, so good! however, I have one slight problem - I am still using my hotmail account and because i am at university I receive a lot of email about coursework etc. Friends in my group have emailed me powerpoint presentations from their own p.c's to my hotmail, but unfortunately I cant open them on my Mac?! does anyone know why this would be? I click to open and they go into this little 'downloads' page but I cant actually get the document to open. i am not even sure what I should be clicking to get it to open? I have iworks installed on my Mac, but I do not have any Microsoft Office Softw installed Could this be the problem?
I would really appreciate any ideas or feedback anyone has about this matter.
Thanks in advance, laura

Since you're at a university you should be able to get a good academic discount on the academic version of Office 2008. This would be worthwhile because almost all universities use Office either for PCs or Macs, and the document files are interchangeable.
Although you could buy iWork '09 as suggested by the other poster, I would recommend getting Office because it is the world standard. It's used everywhere including schools and businesses.

Can't open CS6 programs on new Macbook. Help!

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro and want to transfer my CS6 programs from my old computer. I deactivated the software and then moved the files onto my new Mac via my external hard drive. Now when I try and open a program (ex. Photoshop), I am receiving this error message:
Configuration Error
Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 16
http://www.adobe.com/support/
How do I reactivate my software in order to open them? Was I wrong to copy the files via external hard drive?
Please help!
Thanks.
Jaz

if you copied the installation (not installed) files, you proceeded correctly: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html

My photoshop will not open files or create new files, please help?

Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 will not work,
When machine is first started the program works, for about 10 mins, then
I can not open files, create new ones. When it does work it can not perform functions like transform etc.
I tried disabling third party plug ins
I tried creating a new account on my machine
Nothing seems to work.
Can any one shed some light on the problem?
Cheers!

Sorry! Ignore it.
There is a script running which Noscript lets me forbid, called akamaihd.net. It runs a script which is the same as in html when you highlight a word then attach a url to it.
I don't know why I am seeing it but not others. FF and Chrome seem susceptible to it. It's not malware as usually thought of because no virus/malware program finds it here.
Unfortunately, I have to forbid this script for every site I visit.
In the other thread where your browser displayed an 'i.trkjmp.com' link which isn't really in the web page, I gave you a Google link for info about the problem. You said that it must be something else. Well, for months now, Chrome and Firefox users have been troubled by extensions which cause the 'i.trkjmp.com' problem. You might want to revisit the link I gave you.

Crashing/freezing problems with my new MacBook - please help!!!

Let me preface this by saying I'm very new to Macs.
I just got my new 2.0GHz MacBook (1GB memory, 120GB hard drive) a few days ago. The first day, I had programs freeze up on me which has continued to happen regularly. This morning, I powered off the computer but noticed it sounded like it was still running and nothing was displaying. I had to hold down the power button several seconds to get it to restart and then a message appeared saying that OS X had unexpectedly crashed.
My questions - Should I really be having these problems when the machine is so new? Should I contact Apple and send it back to them? Or am I making a big deal out of minor problems?
Thank you!

Welcome to apple forum,
Try this :

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304308
And if the problem still persist, visit apple store nearest you like at King of Prussia Mall.
I assume that your macbook is built to order, and the built to order (not standard specs) is not eligible for return and replacement, but they will try to fix it until it work, maybe if it is unrepairable then you will get a new one.
Good Luck

Went to open a file in words and got message. "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have latest version. All other files open w/o a problem. Please help.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

You got ripped off. You bought a hacked/jailbroken phone. That's what error 1015 means. Return it and get your money back if possible and buy a phone from a legitimate source.
Discussing jailbroken / hacked phones is forbidden by the terms of service. Jailbreaking / hacking voids any warranty and forfeits your right to support here or from Apple. You can not get help here.

I worked on a Photshop file yesterday, but today, I received a notification that the file cannot open because it is incompatible. Please help!

The notification simply states that the file is incompatible with my current version of Photoshop, which is crazy because it was working fine until now and I need to work on this and multiple other files.

Thank you!

My iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

Error 1 or -1 indicates a serious hardware issue.
Take the device to Apple or whomever provides hardware support in your country for evaluation and likely replacement.

The Restrictions passcode is part of the backup, so you would not want to restore from backup. To restore as new, just connect the phone to the computer and iTunes, and restore. If you cannot just click on restore, you may need to put the device into recovery mode. Search for infomation on that.
