Opening wmv attachment

Is there any way to open a wmv attachment files for mail in iphone 3G?

No there isn't.
WMV is a proprietary Microsoft format which requires Windows Media Player to view the video. In the past Microsoft has a Windows Media Player version for OS X on a the Mac to view these files, but Microsoft stopped providing and supporting it for OS X a long time ago. A 3rd party purchased some rights from Microsoft to provide this capability on a Mac, which is called Flip4Mac. There is not an iPhone version for this and doubtful if Microsoft has any plans to provide support for viewing Windows Media Player files with the iOS for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Opening wmv attachment in mail

I tried to open an attachment that was in an email.   It is a .wmv
It would not open. The only option I was given was to put it in a new email.
I just wanted to watch the video not send it to someone else. I

Sorry to add that as of today, this problem persists. I got the latest update for Flip4mac, and nada. My mail got stuck on a message containing a .wmv attachment and I couldn't get out of it. If I forced quitted it when I restarted it began on the same message and froze again.   After several tries, as soon Mail came on I quickly moved to a different message and it worked.   Don't know why Apple can't do anything about it. Even if they can't or won't handle wmv attachemets they can fix it so that the program does not freeze. They can just say, sorry cannot open attachemt and that's it rather than let Mail itself freeze.

Mail in Lion crashes when opening .wmv attachment?

Anyone else has this problem? I can get around it by going to my Verizon account and opening such attachemets from their mail page.

How to open wmv. attachment

How do I open wmv. attachments on my Apple that were sent by a Window user ?

Flip4Mac.

Opening .wmv attachments

This problem occurred after I reinstalled OS 10.3.9.
If I get a .wmv attachment in Entourage I can't open it there. I get the error message "QuickTime must be in stalled to run this application."
I can, however, locate the file and drop it onto the QuickTime icon and view it. I think this means that QT is installed along with Flip4mac.
QT Version 7.5

I think this is the same issue that cropped up after QT 7.5 was released, which is talked about at the F4M knowledge base HERE. It refers to the problem manifesting in Mail, so I imagine it is manifesting in Entourage with some variations. I suspect F4M will have an update soon.

Unable to open URL attachment from SBWP in CRM WEB UI

Hello Gurus,
Need your help please. I'm having some problem opening the URL attachment from SBWP via CRM 7 WEB UI (I used a Transaction Launcher for SBWP). The attachment is a Webdynpro application. I am able to open the attachment in SAP GUI, but not in CRM WEBUI. This problem occured when we update the SP level of CRM 7.
Here's the scenario,
- whenever I click the attachment, it open a new window, which also happen even before SP level update, with the following information:
Execute an Application on FrontEnd
Please wait. You will be forwarded automatically.
This page is included for technical reason.
Execute program.
Status: Displaying Office Document ..........
After a couple of seconds, it will return to the Workflow Workplace screen.
I have checked the workflow log and found no inconsistency on the attached URL.
Immediate response would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Edwin

Thanks for the reply WD ABAP.
Yes, I did try to use the functionality of Worklist and the URL attachment successfully opened. However, there are some limitation in its functionality as indicated in the link below that opted us to use the SBWP in CRM WEB UI via transaction launcher.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRMWorklist-AdvancewithDialognotSupported
We don't want to adjust the logic of our existing workflow at this point as described in the above link as it will entails end-to-end testing again. We just encountered this issue when we update the SP level of CRM 7.
Hope there is an alternative solution without shifting us to Worklist.

Edwin

Receiving, opening, saving attachments WARNING long post

In some ways, this post is more of a reminder to myself on how to deal with attachments that I've discovered so far and hopefully it will help some other confused souls. I'm betting that like most people on this forum, your interest in the Playbook is partly motivated by how you can quickly and easily access files on the run to review them and edit them minimally and quickly (oops! forgot to change the boss' title in the memo now!) without resorting to hauling out a laptop, waiting for it to start, load the relevant office program, and then hoping your hotel wifi is strong and stable enough to actually load up a bloated email client to download far too many attachments. If that's your circumstances are like mine, then the PB is clearly a work in progress. I thought that Apple's iPad method of dealing with document transfers was crippled at best; the PB is a quest in hide-and-seek.
Transferring media files (photos, movies, etc.). If you use Windows, I'm guessing you're doing okay. If you use a Mac like me, the BB Desktop will not work for such transfers. You can use wifi to bulk transfer media files from your Mac to the PB, but you lose the rich context (playlists, etc.) that you probably want.
Opening attachments in Mail within Bridge. This one confuses me, but I suppose it works best for the corporate world - maybe. If I open an attachment from an email in the PB Bridge from within Mail, I could select an attachment and tap to open it. The relevant app (Reader, sheet to go, word to go, etc.) opens up a new window and the document can be read. At this point in the RIM life cycle, any documents within Bridge are read-only and cannot be saved/edited, which of course defeats any aspirations of on-the-fly editing. Nonetheless, they are viewable and gloriously so. But it was not obvious to me where the documents were now. If I wanted to, say, review them later, where would I find them? The most rational place I thought they would be would be the Bridge Files icon. However, if I selected Playbook under Bridge Files, there did not seem to be anything, and if I selected BlackBerry smartphone, it was not obvious either. By chance, I muddled through and discovered that under the smartphone choice, if I drilled down through my SD card directory to BlackBerry to documents to Bridge (ah! that's new!) subfolders, I would find all my downloaded documents in this new Bridge folder which is supposedly on my smartphone. Distressingly, I cannot find this same subfolder "Bridge" on the SD card on the smartphone itself.
But this is the where we enter another dimension however! All of the above (2) ONLY seems to apply to emails sent to my GMail account that my BlackBerry - and therefore my PB - is also set up to receive within Mail in Bridge: given that I'm not an IT adminstrator, I'll just call them the non-corporate emails. If I open up an attachment from a message in Mail within Bridge that was sent through my usual corporate email system (in this case, Lotus Notes - yet another story), then the attachment ends up in SD card directory to BlackBerry to documents, but does not go into Bridge. I lack the knowledge or wisdom to fathom why this is different, other than it probably has something to do with the corporate side of things.
Opening attachments from Webmail (e.g. GMail). This one is also a bit bizarre. Although not very easy to find, at least all the attachments from (2) and (3) ended up in almost the same places on my smartphone SD card. But you cannot edit them. So what if I opened up via the web browser? GMail works quite well actually. When I tapped on an attachment to open it in GMail, it would bring me to a new pane and ask me to save it (Save "1"). It does not necessarily open it however and sometimes I would just get a new blank window. But if I swipe down from the top, I could see the downloads option, and choosing that would show me the attached document and an Open button. Opening it would load the document using the relevant app (e.g. Word to Go) and swiping down gave me another save (yes!) option (Save "2"). However, I had no idea where the attachment was saved. It does not appear under Media, any Bridge folder, etc. Assuming the attachment file type is associated with the app however, if you now open, say, Word-to-Go, well, there it is (finally!). So, the bizzarre thing is that the first save (Save "1") that you are prompted with does not seem to actually save it: only after the relevant app loads it and then you save it again (Save "2") does the attachment seem to actually get transferred to the Playbook's internal memory (somewhere). I cannot figure out the reason why you have to go through this double step. But at least now I can edit them. So maybe the solution is to mirror all my corporate emails to another service like GMail or Hotmail? (I can hear the collective gasps of the security minded types!)
Opening attachments from Webmail (e.g., GMail) within the Bridge Browser. This is maybe the ultimate compromise and combination of the above, and perhaps the situation most of us want to know about when we're on the go, get that ever important email about what was needed yesterday, don't have wifi access, but need to edit the attachment and cannot do it within the regular mail within Bridge. Dismally, this one is a fail - I get the error message "Bridge Browser: Cannot download corporate files."
After fumbling my way through an iPad and pretty much abandoning it for my workflow (although it is very good for other applications), I thought the Playbook would address almost of my needs, particularly since I've used a BlackBerry for the last six years. Personally, I think the PB hardware is fantastic, the form factor is great, and I do not care for or need 1000's of useless and trivial apps, but the implementation of what I consider core functionality is mediocre at best. I'm an academic - I'd grade the Playbook a C- (maybe even a D+ (ouch!) if I was in a grumpy mood).
In the interests of fairness, I recognize that some of the issues may simply be the way my corporate parent runs its business. I toil away under Lotus Notes and use a BlackBerry Bold, OS5, Rogers network, and a three year MacBook Pro.
If anybody has found other solutions or I've simply done something wrong, I'd love to hear. Otherwise, my abode will likely not be this Playbook's forever home.

Hi fochtk... you're welcome (I think! this seems unnecessarily confusing!). I think you're referring to my points (2) and (3) from my original post. In summary, this is what I THINK is happening.
On my BlackBerry Bold 9700, I have two email accounts, my corporate Lotus account, and my GMail account. There is one universal desktop that gathers both incoming emails into one so that I can view all messages at the same time. I imagine that the corporate server for this universal desktop therefore also have all these same messages because all the messages (GMail and Lotus) then show up in Mail via Bridge on my PB.
A. When in Bridge - Mail I open up an attachment in a mail that was received by my corporate Lotus account, the documents show up on my phone's SD card (I think you mean the memory card, not the SIM card for telecommunications). If I check my Playbook under Bridge Files -> Phone Icon -> BlackBerry/SDCard -> Documents, the attachments are there, and if I check my file manager on my phone, the same attachments are listed in the same subfolder. Interestingly, I was given the option to download them too.
B. When I open up an attachment in a mail that was received initially by my GMail account, the documents are not given the option to download. However, when I go to Bridge Files -> Phone Icon -> BlackBerry/SDCard -> Documents -> Bridge, the attachments from this GMail destined message are there! Weird, because I didn't create a Bridge subfolder on my phone's SD card, nor can I find a Bridge subfolder on the phone itself.
SORRY. I stand corrected. I just went into Bridge - Mail to double check and guess what... ALL of my email attachments no matter what account they were sent to originally (Lotus or GMail) if they are accessed through Bridge get dumped into this Bridge subfolder that is supposedly located on my phone's SD card (situation B). Maybe situation A was for when I downloaded the attachment to the phone first: I've gone back and forth with this so many times now...
Maybe this Bridge subfolder is a hidden folder tied to your phone so that if you lose your Playbook attachments cannot be accessed? But there seems to be no options to delete these downloaded files. UPDATE! Yes, I should have checked sooner. When you are accessing your phone, use the menu button to select "Show Hidden". It then displays the greyed out Bridge subfolder under Documents and you can then manipulate (e.g., delete) your files from there. This would make sense so that your files are as secure as possible via your phone. Still can't edit the attachments though...
Hope this helps...

Hi,
Are you using any webdispatcher or some proxy? Is there any URL filter configured in between?
If yes then I think you have to allow these pages.

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 €.

Open PDF Attachment with Adobe Reader put GW to background

Hello all,
We have problems with opening pdf attachments from GroupWise client 12.02 with Adobe Reader 11.0.06. The attachment opens fine, but when opening the attachment, the mail and GroupWise client immediately are placed to the background in Windows. So when closing Adobe Reader, the user won't come back in the mail but in another application that was open and the user have to click on groupwise in the taskbar to go back to the mail.
There is no problem with opening other attachments from other applications (like Word or Excel) or when opening the pdf with Adobe Standard. It happens with every user.
They are working in a Citrix Xenapp 6.5 environment on Windows 2008R2 (it also happens if working in a RDS session)
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Jaap

Are you trying to say that all of the apps mentioned are running as
XENapps? If not please specify which are local vs remote.
What is the client OS being run as that may also factor in.
Worth trying another PDF reader such as FoxIT reader to better see
which side is driving that behaviour.

Whenever I try to open an attachment I get "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred"

Title says it all. If I try to "open" an attachment, the download dialogue comes up and the progress bar begins to fill, then when it should be complete I get the message:
"The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred
Please Try Again."
I can still save the files, but then I have to delete them (and that's just a hassle). Any help would be appreciated!

Tools, Options, Attachments, Incoming. Then set to your prefered PDF reader.
An update has reset this to the internal PDF viewer rather than sticking with the one you had before. This reader does not work on my machine.

You need a third party app. Take a look at some of these on this Google page.

Hi,
I would like to know what font type, you are using in the forms.
Ideally it should be HELVETICA .
If you are using any other font in your style/form,try changing it to HELVETICA & Test.
Also Check the OTF data at the call of gen. FM,before converting it to PDF.
