Problems with opening attachments sent from Microsoft Outlook

I have been using MacBook Pro and I have had problems with opening files from Microsoft Outlook.
The attachments appear as .dat files (text, images etc..) and I am not able to open them.
Does someone have any experience in solving this type of compatability problems on Mac OS ?

Get this app or tell the sender to send the attachments using plain text for their emial:

HT1338 I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

Problem with opening project file from my friend

My friend save his project and gave me it on CD. Of course he gave me all needed files like source videos. It's videos from the same type of DSLR clips which I also have. So I making my own movies also with clips in this codes or similar. My DSLR is Canon 600D but DSLR of my friend is Canon 550D - clips from his DSLR are of course also written form my system. So everything seems to be OK.
Now i try to open this project in my PC but it doesn't work at all. I can see only this message:
My friend work on CS 5 but I work on CS 6. I don't believe that Adobe Premiere Pro can't open a older type of his project files. Please help.

Sequence preset? I don't know anything. But I think that is unneceserry even to know. Because why sequence preset can be important? Preset is only a preset. So I can't see any reason preset was a main problem with it.

Problems with opening attachments

Received a 14 page attachment to an email. Playbook Adobe reader only showed first page although it indicated there were 14 pages. ( No problem with reading document on my computer.)
Logging on to my Bank via internet I have been unable to open messages. This was not an issue last week. Now I get a message " file exists Rename this file or press save to replace existing file" Then I get a blank screen. All I am trying to do is open and read the message in my browser..

Partially solved the Adobe reader issue. If I simultaneously swipe down from the top and up from the bottom I get to a bar which advances the pages. I have to do this for each page as the bar keeps disappearing. Must be an easier method.

Problem with Opening Attachments in PDFs

I recently upgraded to Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.3.2. When I attach Excel or Word files within a PDF file, I can no longer double click an attachment to open it. I receive an error message that states my administrative security settings don't allow me to open attachments. I can't change the security settings (they are grayed out). Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

You need to change the preferences in the Trust Manager.

Problem with opening PDF files from JSF page using SDO

Hi all,
I'm new with JSF and was attempting to read a PDF file from a Database using SDO and JSF. The code below throws an exception when casting from DataObject to Blob. The getLcDoc() method was created by WSAD when I dragged an SDO relational record onto the JSF page. This method returns an DataObject type which I tried casting to a Blob type before using it further. However, an exception is thrown.
Any feedback is appreciated.

try {
               FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
               Blob file= (Blob)getLcDoc().get("ATTACH");
               int iLength = (int)(file.length());
               response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
               response.setHeader("Expires","0");

               if (i<0) break;
               os.write(buff,0,i);
               os.flush();
               os.close();

          System.out.println("Error while reading file : " + ex.getMessage());
     }

Hi...I found out that there is actually no need to use a Blob object at all. You can simply call the OutputStreams write() method and pass the DataObject.getBytes() method that returns a byte[] array. The revised code is shown at the end of this posting.
However, a few other teething problems exist:
1. This works well only if I specify the content type in response.setHeader() method. What if my users upload different types of files, is there a way that the browser opens according to the file type without setting the content type?
2. I still have a problem opening PDF files, even if I specify - response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
I get the message - The file is damaged and could not be repaired
3. I would also like this to open the attachment in a new window and using target="_blank" doesn't seem to work as seen below:
<h:commandLink
                                             styleClass="commandLink" id="link1" action="#{pc_DocumentDetailsRead.doLink1Action}" target="_blank">
                                             <h:outputText id="text5" styleClass="outputText"
                                                  value="Click Here"></h:outputText>
                                        </h:commandLink>
------------------------Revised code-----------------------------------------
FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
               response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/msword");
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
               response.setHeader("Expires","0");
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
               response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
               ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
               os.write(getLcDoc().getBytes("ATTACH"));
               os.flush();
               os.close();

Problems with reading information sent from a servlet to an applet

Ihave just created an applet and servlet. i want the servlet to send some data back to the applet so i can read it and just check to see whether the servlet has done the required job.
here is part of the applet and servlet code.
applet:
url = "http://localhost:8080/servlet/Option1Servlet?Firstname="+firstname.getText()
               +"&Lastname="+lastname.getText()+"&Staffstudentid="+staffstudentid.getText()

               URL urlocation = new URL(url);
               URLConnection uc = urlocation.openConnection();
               BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (uc.getInputStream()));
                    while((inputLine=in.readLine()) != null) {
                         servletInfo.add(inputLine);
               System.out.println("recieved info from servlet about ot process!");
               inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(uc.getInputStream(checking));

               System.out.println(checking);
               in.close();
          catch(java.io.IOException ex) {ex.printStackTrace();}
          if (checking == 0) {
          Regcomplete f5 = new Regcomplete();
          f5.setSize(500,400);
               this.setVisible(false);
          f5.setVisible(true);
          else if (checking == 1) {

Problem with Contact download from Microsoft Outlook 2003 SP2

For some strange reason that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out; my contact list ( address book ) downloads, but, even though I specified " sort by last name "; some contacts show up sorted by last name and some show up sorted by first name ! Also, some have commas in the name, even though there are no commas in the record in Outlook !
Anybody else have this experience ??

I went to edit-preferences-ipod-contacts tab and
selected synchcronize from microsoft outlook and
synchronize all contacts then I select ipod and
update and doesn't syncronize my contacts, outlook
was open by the way.
Any ideas.
same for calendar.
it doesnot work itunes 6.0.5.20 the lattest.
Please help.
the only way that it works if I do it manually where
I have to same my contacts 1 by 1 becuase I can't
export them as .vcf files so I had to same every
contact as a .vcf file in a private folder and then
moved to my ipod as a hard drive use. Which takes to
many steps for a normal user. It should be 1 step
synchonize.
I need ipod engineers to give a hand with this.
Thanks in advance
There it's only two options microsoft outlook and outlook express on the ipod contacts tab. So I chose microsoft outlook, and the answer for what I have in my computer it's Microsoft Outlook 2003.
Thanks,
Rj

Trouble opening email attachments sent from another mac

When I try to open email attachments from my new email acct at Charter.net they come out as giberish! Charter is unable to help me. They have no idea why this is happening. with my hotmail acct I can open them inconsistantly. I am sending things from my work mac to my mac at home. Both use system 10 and both computers have Word so that can't be the problem. I also make sure that the attachments say .doc in the title of the attachment. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

DOS 8.3 refers back to the pre-Windows days when file names were restricted to no more than 8 characters in the filename plus a three letter extension that identified the type of file; e.g., filename.doc for Word documents. A surprisingly amount of Windows code is still based on DOS, and some programs still behave oddly if you try using longer filenames or filenames with spaces or non-standard (letters and numbers and underscores) in the name.
On the Entourage machines, check Preferences> Compose and make sure the 'encode for' pull-down fiels reads 'any computer (Apple Double)'.
Your correct that Hotmail is rather well-known for mungling attachments sent from Macs. For that matter, it's prone to mungle attachments sent from or read by any browser other than Internet Explorer for Windows (e.g., if you use Firefox on Windows, Hotmail will corrupt the mail's formatting). It's possible to have either Safari or Firefox to pretend to be IE for Windows but I've never found that to actually help with Hotmail, probablly because it's checking for ActiveX which is Windows only. I have no knowledge of charter.net or how it's webmail works. One thing that may help with either email at home: try saving the attachments to the hard drive and then open the program you want to use and open the saved file from within the program (as opposed to trying to open the attachment from within the webmail browser or saving the attachment to disk and double-clicking it on the desktop to launch the associated program).
One thing that might work well is to bypass the webamil approach at home and use a stand-alone mail program, such as Apple's own Mail program in the applications folder or the free download of Mozilla Thunderbird. You mention using Entourage at school; that suggests you'd qualify for the student-teacher version of Microsoft Office, which would let you use Entourage at home as well (that's essentially my home Mac situation; Entourage-to-Entourage works quite well).

How can I sync up the calendar from Microsoft Outlook email with my ipad 2?

How can I sync up my calendar from Microsoft Outlook with my ipad 2? Or do I have to enter in all of the dates individually?

When the iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes, then on the device's Info tab you should be able to select where to sycn a calendar from - from the iPad manual :
You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
