"This file attachment is too large to be viewed." What?

I created a 15.6MB m4v for iPhone using compressor to test being able to email clips to a client for review on his iphone. A couple of strange things. First, when the message is received, the attachment now reads that it is 20.6MB in size. Second, when I attempt to open it on my iPhone... it gives me the message "This file attachment is too large to be viewed."
Is there a limitation with the iPhone here that I didn't know about?

Yes this is a public board, which shouldn't exclude common courtesy.
This is a user to user help forum only and fellow users that post answers to questions or provide suggestions here volunteer their time to do so.
I don't have a problem with you providing what you think is a shortcoming, but there is nothing wrong with me providing a reasons or reasons why it isn't a shortcoming for the most part. If that is being "needlessly defensive", then you are needlessly interested only in thoughts that agree with your own.
What does that mean exactly? I wasn't suggesting they would, they usually use their own dedicated mail servers... which they can set to unlimited if they wish... which is why putting the limitation on the iphone pulls the rug out from under them if they want to use the iPhone AND send/receive large files via email. Pretty simple equation really.
What it means exactly is, you were talking about business use and you mentioned Gmail having a 20MB overall message size limit. Yes many businesses use their own dedicated server, which they can set to unlimited if they wish, but this will only work internally and with other businesses that do the same.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts the overwhelming majority of businesses with or without their own dedicated email server do not have an unlimited overall message size limit. Some may have a larger overall message size limit than 10MB, but 10MB is a very common limit.
So any way in which the iPhone can become more useful as a business device is a good thing... isn't it?
Certainly, but what you consider as being more useful may or many not match what I or someone else may consider as being more useful and there is nothing wrong with that.
Perhaps you will never need or otherwise enjoy landscape email, full screen attached video playback, or attachments greater than 10MB... but to not see the obvious improvement as a business device had these features been implemented in 2.0.2 just doesn't make any sense to me.
I have been discussing overall message size limits only. I haven't mentioned anything about these other items.

  • "File size is too large"

    When I imported the only 4 files in a particular folder (scans of photos) into the Organiser, the message "File size is too large" came up for two of them instead of preview images, although do appear to have been added to the Catalog as their MB size, pixel dimensions and creation date show in the Properies General tab.
    I take it this must relate to pixel count and not the file size per se as the two tifs (13.2 and 13.3 MB but 1792 x 2508 and 2518 x 1798 pixels) are fine, while the two JPGs (12.9 and 30.8 MB and 9616 x 6480 and 7048 x 10376) are the ones without preview images?
    I wasn't aware of this as a problem, so can anybody tell me please, have I just set too low a limit somewhere or is there a real restriction?
    And is this new to PSE6 or something that's been around for a while?
    Thanks, Peter

    I have a 212mb psd file (a panorama).   I have Elements 6.0 and 4 meg RAM, Vista.
    I went through the regedit process as outlined in Adobe Technote kb402760 and upped it to 1,000,000,000.  I would think that would have given enough headroom for my file size.  But it didn't.  I still have the generic "file size too large" on my thumbnails.
    I did note that the tech note had a different location for the Software/Adobe/Elements 6.0/Organizer (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ ) from the location in my file structure.  In fact, this string was listed in at least three places OTHER THAN the one indicated in the Technote.  How likely is it that adding "MaxImageSize" to the Elements 6.0 register locations other than specifically indicated is the reason why the file size capacity was not increased.  Why doesn't Elements show up in the location indicated by the Tech Note?
    NOTE FOR ADOBE:  Why isn't this a more easily accessible option in the user interface?  If I have a large file that slows things down a bit on my thumbnails, that could be my choice.  This artificial constraint built into the regedits that no one goes to is too much like parental controls for 5 year olds.

    Please let me know what format of file do you wish to optimize and send.
    You can try compress and zip the file to reduce the size.
    If it's a pdf file you want to optimize, you can refer to the steps mentioned in : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5084402#5084402

  • I tried to send and email file that was too large and now my email is not working. the draft continue to repopulate over and over

    I need help with email. I composed a new mail with an attachment that was too large. I never sent it, but it locked my mail up and continues to repopulate the draft.

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • Video Sharing - Videos upload issue to Vimeo because files are now too large post iOS7.

    Videos taken prior to iOS7 update uploaded without issues to Vimeo.  Vidoes taken after iOS7 update will not upload because videos are too large.  I am videoing the same type of activities for the same duration post iOS7 as I was pre-iOS7.  What has changed with iOS7 that is causing my videos to be saved as larger files?  This is a HUGE issue for what I do!  HELP PLEASE!!

    You're going to have to edit them on a computer before uploading them, unless you can convince Vimeo to change their limits.

  • Pre 9 error message "File video dimensions too large"

    Pre 9 has given me an error message: "File video dimensions (width/height) too large"  while getting media file (still images) for my movie.
    What does that mean?
    My movie's about 15 mins long so far. A mixture of pictures and videos.
    Thanks,

    Your message means that your photo has exceeded the total number of pixels (16777216) supported by Premiere Elements 9 for the still image.
    I have gone into full detail on the issue and what needs to be done in post 6 of this older Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/732067
    What are the pixel dimensions of the photos that are triggering this message in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1? Also what is the frame aspect ratio, 4:3 or 16:9? What is you destination...DVD-VIDEO standard on DVD disc or DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc?
    This type of message is not present in later versions of Premiere Elements. But, even though the message in those later versions does not prohibit you from continuing as in version 9.0/9.0.1, that does not necessary mean that because you can you should.
    We can discuss this further.
    Thanks.

  • I need to export (to doc format) just a few select pages from various parts of a PDF file that is too large to convert in its entirety

    I already paid for the service, but I can't seem to do the above.
    If I upload the entire thing the process fails, saying the file is too large...

    I would suggest using an outside product, such as PDF Splitter (FoxyUtils SplitPDF - Split PDF Files Online for Free), or just open up the document in Chrome, and print from your desired start to end page as a PDF. Then try uploading the file.
    There is no internal workaround available in Acrobat.com yet, as after all, it is still in its beginning stages, unlike the Acrobat desktop application.
    Wouldn't be a bad suggestion, I guess, though, for an improvement to make for a future version.

  • Once combine file, it is too large to email. Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

    Combined files and now it is too large to send. Is there a way to reduce the size of the converted file in Adobe?

    Hi yodonna,
    Adobe Reader doesn't allow you to reduce the size of a PDF file, as Acrobat does. But, you could upload that file to your Acrobat.com account, and create an anonymous link to it using Adobe Send. Then, you could send that link via email. You can access Adobe Send at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. The Create an Anonymous Link feature doesn't require that you have an Adobe Send subscription.
    Best,

  • Error message when uploading book for printing. All images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large to upload? What size is required and how do I reduce size in Aperture?

    I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?

    Hi Leonie,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are  around 1-3 mb each and  72 ppi. I think  I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
    Apple  talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
    Error message
    1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
    2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
    3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.

  • Cannot open on Nook, "This Nook cannot read this file. It may be an unsupported format"  what can I do?

    I used ADE 4.0 and ebook transferred to computer and Nook - it opens on my computer but will not open in Nook.  Error message says "This Nook cannot read this file.  It may be an unsupported format."  What can I do to open it on my Nook?

    First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal.  This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences.  I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place!  So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
    Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.  In the Terminal, enter the following:
    sudo rm -f
    Make sure to put a space after the "-f"!  Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window.  That should insert the path to the file in the command.  Then go back to the Terminal and press return.  You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure.  Press return again after entering your password.  The file should be deleted.

  • "This attachment is too large to be opened"

    I emailed myself a 22MB PDF from a scanner at work. I'm trying to save it so I can open it in Goodreader but I get that error.
    Is there a workaround, setting or something I can do? Or does anyone know the size limit for email attachments?

    This only further supports my position that GMail allowed the file to go through and that the Mail client refused to download it. Yes, I can open the .pptx file in Safari, but I can't save it anywhere so that doesn't do me a load of good. More importantly, I shouldn't have to email myself a file. I should be able to import it via USB or SD card using the camera connection kit.
    I already found a workaround which was to use the Goodreader app.. The whole point is that I shouldn't need workarounds for something so basic.
    Why can't you just acknowledge that Apple should fix this instead of coming up with silly defensive explanations for the limitation?
