Problem saving Excel files sent in mail

This problem is since I upgraded to Maverick.
I receive an Excel file ( file.xls ) in Mail as an attachment and when I try to save there is an existing file with the same name it then ask if I want to replace it and I answer Yes. The problem is is does not replace the file and I dont get any error messages. I must delete the old version of the file first then save the new version. I dont know if it is Mail or Excel that has a problem with Maverick. Doe anybody else have this problem?

I am experiencing exactly the same problem, but with text files. It seems that the "replace" doesn't work, but with no explaination or warning. Extrememly frustrating. (Mail 7.0, Mavericks 10.9)

How can i send a folder containing multiple excel file to a mail address?

hi ,
       i have report showing details sales report. Key field is customer id. my requirement is to send the output of this report as excel file to a mail id according to customer id. suppose there are 100 customer id , so 100 excel sheet will go to the mail. I have done it. But now i want to send a folder or zip folder that's containing all the excel file to the mail id so the mail user can download that folder at a time containg all the excel file. Is it possible ? if then how. i have used cl_bcs , cl_document_bcs and if_recipient_bcs these class and interface.
I need your suggestion.

Hi Sandipan,
You can use some of this classes: CL_ABAP_ZIP or CL_ABAP_GZIP
For example:
DATA: OBJ_ZIP TYPE REF TO CL_ABAP_ZIP,
            ZIP_FILE TYPE XSTRING.
CREATE OBJECT OBJ_ZIP.
OBJ_ZIP->ADD( NAME = <file_name>   CONTENT = CONTENT ).
OBJ_ZIP->ADD( NAME = <file_name2> CONTENT = CONTENT ).
ZIP_FILE = OBJ_ZIP->SAVE( ).
You can also visit this Otto Frost detailed post on GZIP:

I hope that helps.

HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox.

do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

Problem Reading pdf files sent thru e-mail

I saved some software output prints to pdf files (software has option for saving to pdf) and e-mailed to a co-worker. I can see and print fine from my hard drive but recipient got only dots on the pages. Should have been numbers and text. I have Adobe 8.1.2. Do you have any idea why this happened or what to do? Thanks.

Some email servers corrupt PDF files because they use the wrong encoding for them. Try zipping them up before sending them.

Email attachment problems with "excel" files.

I have just upgraded to the iphone 4 from the 3gs and since doing so any emails I receive with excel files attached will not open the attachment? These files openened with no problem on the same email account on my 3gs.
Instead when I download the attachment and go to open it I am met with a page displaying....
"Unable to read document.
An error occured while reading the document."
Has anyone else having this problem or even better anyone know what the fix is to get these files showing up?
Any help would be appreciated,
Kris

After much frustration about excel files not opening and repeatedly not getting answers from apple, I think I might have found another way. It seems that the new apple OS does not support older versions of excel. By saving the excel file in question (Save As) to "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook" the Workbook opens just fine as an E-mail attachment. If you have macro's you can save as "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook (Macro Enabled)" and it works also.
The Workbook in question as far as I was concerned was created in Microsoft Excel 2003.
Hope this helps
Apple needs to get on the ball. This was almost a dealbreaker with me.

Problem in excel format while sending mail with excel attachment.

Hi Gurus ,
I am sending a email with Excel attachment using FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 or SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I am able to send a mail with excel attachment with a piece of code which I got from SDN itself.
But the problem is when I am trying to open the attachment, <b>A pop up comes which says that it is not in recognizable format. Would you like to open it?
and several other lines of caution.</b>
When i choose to open it, i get the correct data in one excel sheet. Certain vertical lines of the excel sheet is missing. <b>But no data is missing. </b>
I am attaching the code below. Can any one please tell me where is the problem in this code ?

Saving Excel Files to CD-RW

For some years now I've been able to insert a CD-RW disc, double click on an Excel file stored there, open the file, edit the file, then simply resave the file under the same file name back onto the CD-RW disc.
Seemingly, suddenly I am no longer able to do that. Now when I double click on the Excel file, it opens as "Read Only". After I make my edits, the system wants me to save under a new file name because the file is "Read Only". When I do that, the system now "saves" the file to a temporary burn folder rather than writing the file to the disc. I then burn the file to the disc and a new file is added under the new name.
I could probably handle the extra step of burning the file to the CD-RW everytime but I simply want to overwrite the previous file, not fill up the disc with new files everytime.
How do I get back to inserting the disc, opening the file, editing the file and saving the file to the disc, then being able to repeat all of that but rewriting the file not creating a new one everytime? I'm sure that I am missing something fundamental in how writing to CD-RWs works.
Thank you.

Make excel file and then mail it via workflow...

Hi All,
I got a requirement in CRM Workflow like i have the item level details from a FM. Now i need to send these details by putting them in an Excel file. So how can i make an excel file in SAP and then mail the same file to a person.
Please suggest. Is this feasible?
Regards,
Guddan

Hello,
Yes. Just attach it. I don't know how to create an excel file in SAP but I'm sure it's possible.
You can always try these things first, and then ask if you encounter a specific problem.

Problem reading Excel files from site

I use Dreamweaver CS4 for my site and have for the last few years. Everything was working quite well - easy to use and I was familiar with it. My site has multiple pages and there are .pdf, .jpeg, excel and docx files listed throughout. Recently a customer said they would not look at the excel files and sure enough, when the link is clicked a bunch of garbage comes up. Same thing with .docx files. Both excel and .docx files could be read in their appropriate format in the past. The link can be right clicked and saved. The saved file can then be read. I contacted the site provider and they said my web.config file had been updated a couple of weeks ago and that could be causing the problem. The file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="topic">
                    <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
   <conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_USER_AGENT}" pattern="(ConBot)" negate="true" />
<add input="{URL}" pattern="^((.*)(.css|.js|.jpg|.png|.gif|.jpeg|.bmp|.json|.swf|.pdf|.mp3|.mp4|.doc|.txt))$ " negate="true" />

                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Any suggestions? I edited the web.config file (added .xls and docx) and uploaded to the server with no change in the results.
Thanks.

I know that for tomcat, I've needed to modify the web.xml file to support the 'newer' MS Office file types.

I took picture and Movie when i first got my iPhone5 and i have iphoto and iMovie 2008 they say ilife 11 is and upgrade. when i transfered pictures to start with to my iPhoto i had to inport them to iMove inorder to watch them. then when i messed around and added more shots and deleted some some went missing and to totally delet the whole bunch of photos and the movies My iMac made a folder in my Finder and drug and dropped and trashed my project that way. Three short movies went missing that i was looking to watch and they never showed back up. Today i started trying things in the New Yahoo.com Mail Applicatins Attachments and there were the three Items and the Mail Attachments page does not offer a Choice or deleting attachments.

Problem saving gif file over the net

I am using a simple loop to save files using a URL Connection. It grabs html files fine and they look right but when I used to to download an animated gif it had an error. It saved the file but when I tried to open the image I got a "drawing failed" message.
I compared it to the working image and the sizes were identical. I also compared the characters in notepad and the beginning and end characters were identical. I looked at the preview in "My Computer" when you select it and it drew only the first line or so. This makes me believe it is a problem with how it switches lines when saving. I checked the ends of the lines though and they also seem identicall. Any ideas? Here is the code. Thankyou.
FileWriter fileName = new FileWriter(saveFileName);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
newConnection.getInputStream()
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fileName);
for (;;) {
int data = in.read();
// Check for EOF
if (data == -1) break;
else {
System.out.print ( (char) data);
out.write(data);
}

GIF files are binary files and can be corrupted if you use the Reader and Writer classes. Use the *Stream classes, like FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

I have another problem with my restored sent e-mail messages

I like to back up my mail on my MacBook Pro. Ever since I restored my sent e-mail messages on my iMac using its TM, I copy my mail folder on my MacBook Pro but the sent messages doesn't work on my MBP.
I think that I know the cause is, on my external drive it says: Backup for Steve's iMac. I think that means the backups will only work for my iMac.
So here's my question, is there anyway to change my sent e-mail messages to universal so they will work both in my iMac and my MBP again?
BTW, although I have time capsule for my MBP but I use mail exclusively on my iMac. So at the end of the day I just copy my iMac's mail folder into my MBP and only I start my mail application in my MBP is to make sure that all of the changes are there. I do this day after day.
So the changes come from my iMac, do you know what I mean?

Sounds like a permission problem, but I can't be sure.
You may benefit from MobileMe to sync your email instead of copying and pasting.
Just a thought.

Problems saving a file in Adobe Reader 11 after highlighting

Hi,
Has anyone come across a problem where Adobe Reader 11 seems to have problems in saving certain files after highlighting some text?
One of our processes involves checking information and to do this we open up a saved PDF file in Adobe Reader 11 and highlight the relevant text to confirm the amounts have been checked, and then save the file.
This is all done in Adobe Reader - not the full version and not using any external helpers etc, and running under Windows 8 64 bit.
However one of our users is having problems with certain PDF files where, when she goes to save the file after highlighting, it comes up with an error saying that it can't save to this filename and requests that a new filename is entered. If we then save to a new file, and then save as to the original file it works.
So basically this user is having to save the PDF file twice after highlighting - which is annoying.
The strange thing is it appears to only be happening with PDFs created from certain applications on our system (payroll software and BACS processing software) whilst other PDFs work fine. Another user, also using Adobe Reader 11 and also using Windows 8 64 Bit, can open up the problem files, highlight text and save the changes without any problem at all, so it doesn't appear to be the files themselves.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Reader without any success.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks

I'm getting something similar, but the message I get is "...pdf already exists. Do you want to replace it?" I click 'Yes' and the document is replaced under its original file name. This is using Reader 11.0.10.
Sorry - I should have been clearer.
She gets exactly that question, but when she clicks yes, then she gets 'The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.' At this point the name of the document as shown at the top of the screen has changed to a ???????.tmp filename.
Trying to save this document over the top of the original now works.
It looks like something is locking the original file and only releasing it after the attempted save, which then allows the original to be saved over.
Also using 11.0.10
