Problems with attachments. Receivers say they arrive corrupt on Windows

Hi,
When I send attachments in txt, doc, rtf, or zip format, the receiver says he cannot open the files and they are corrupt. Can tell me what I am doing wrong? It does not seem to effect pdf files though.

I'm not sure you answered all my questions so I'll try again.
> I save them as rtf,txt, or doc files and attach them after I type the message.
Does this mean you are you including the file extension with all attached files such as Document.doc or Document.txt?
I have about 12 e-mail accounts in Mac Mail.
Does this mean one or several of the 12 or so email accounts is provided by your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet? Are you sending these messages with an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your internet service provider?
If you are accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP and you are not sending these messages with your ISP's email account, try selecting/using your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with the non-ISP email account to see if using your ISP's SMTP server makes any difference.
> I also use an automated sig. for the accounts.
Does this mean you are adding/placing all attachment below ALL message text including your signature?
> Any circumvention that can be recommended?
Besides everything else that I've already provided, are you using RTF or Plain Text for message composition?
If you are using RTF for message composition, try using Plain Text instead is a good first start.

Problem with attachments and antivirus.scanners

Hi!
Problem is: Sending any attachment from Tiger (10.4.8) mail, all attachments are removed by a virus scanner at receiving end:
This message was modified by F-Secure Anti-Virus E-Mail Scanning.
Tried Windows friendly, text only, repair permissions, sending under other isp etc. no help.
If this same message with same attachment is send from next mac with Panther, it is received ok.
Receiving company is big and wont alter their virus-scanners and the problem clearly lies in Tiger.
Any help welcome.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The subject of your message should have been "Problems with attachments and F-Secure antivirus" since this is not a problem with all antivirus software, only with F-Secure.
Check this thread for a possible temporary solution when sending attachments to those who use F-Secure.

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

You can't run Windows on your Macbook Air without having Mac OS X installed with Boot Camp. So it should be an option to select the Mac OS X partition at startup when holding down the option key. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4818

I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't Work.

I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't work. When I called apple support she said to hard boot by holding off and home keys and restart. However this is only since the new release of the operating system, it happens ever day and it's getting OLD.. Any solutions?

Yes, almost daily since the iOS update. Is there a permanent solution. And does the hard reboot hurt the iPad?

Problems with attachments going corrupt from Mail in the dock when sending?

I have had my Mac G5 Tower at home now for a couple of years now and have always had a problem with sending attachments to any one from my .mac account with mail in the dock.
The error massage people would tell they were getting from the files that I attached were (The file is damaged and cold not be repaired). I also tried emailing the same attachment to my self and got the same results.
I always got around this at home by emailing the attachments via web .mac account from apple’s web site this is not an ideal solution.
Using the same .mac account and mail from the dock on my Mac at work no problems at all.
I thought by upgrading from panther to tiger that this would help, I am still having the same trouble.
Can anyone out there help.
Thanks

Thank you Justin for your response. Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been unable to log in to my forum account since the first time even though I'd verified my user name, reset the password (everything I could think of). Many hours (literally) on hold with almost every support department at Verizon hasn't resolved the login problem...so I've created a new username with my other email address. I know that creating a new account probably isn't the kosher solution, but my frustration level with Verizon phone suport on this has gone over the top as no one department seems to claim any knowledge of how to help with forum issues and passes me off to somewhere else.
I am using IE 7.0. I only have the problem when I am viewing my emails via the Verizon webmail. When I download the emails to Outlook on my desktop, there are no problems. In webmail, if I have an email showing in the preview pane that has links and I click on that email (in the preview pane), the linked website opens and I can't close it or do anything else. I can't even switch to viewing other emails in my inbox in the preview pane. I can right click on the email showing in the preview pane and select to open in a new window, but if I left click the link activates right there in the preview pane.

HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Is anyone having a problem with sending emails now they have ios 7?

Hi I am getting rejection notices from the server re emails sent. I have spoken to my ISP who has suggested port changes etc but this has not helped. They now say it is an Apple problem with ios 7. However Apple say it is a settings problem with my ISP! Has anyone any ideas?
Many thanks
Steve

Hey Steve100B!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue from the iPhone:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
If you have not tried to do this already, I would recommend focusing on step 4 of those instructions:
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

Problems with attachments - where is my content?

Hi all!
I've got a problem with my attachment in the shopping cart. We have implement a function, where the user is able to sent an email with an attachment from the shopping cart.
If the user, who added the attachment to the shopping cart will send the email, the field PHIO_CONTENT in the table ATTACH in the shopping cart structure BBPS_SC_APP_DOCUMENT is filled an i can attach these data to the email.
But when the shopping cart will be transfered to another user during the approval worklflow, the field PHIO_CONTENT is emtpy. All other data is already existing (like PHIO_OBJID). I've got the URL to the document too (field DISP_URL = http://sapdb01.XXX.XXXXXXX.de:8000/sap/ebp/docserver/Zellen%25252Exls?phioget&KpId=DDAB1A80829CEFF1B402001A4B4A73D6&KpClass=BBP_P_DOC&sap-client=010).
Does anybody knows why the data (field PHIO_CONTENT) will not by stored in the shopping cart? Is it neccessay to load the file from doc-server? If so, how can I read the files from the document server?
Thank you for help!
Greetings, Florian

Hello Florian,
I have a similar assignment where I need to send e-mail with attachments from the SC. The attachemnts can be in varius formats, i.e. DOC, XLS, TXT etc. I wonder how do you handle the attachments? I read the attachments using BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL and send e-mail using class cl_document_bcs. The content of the attachemnts are in binary format and receipient can't open them.
Thanks

Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7

Good Day
I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
My specs are:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr3 transcend
1 tb seagate 7200.12
giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
Please help lots of data.

Another option:
Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)
