  • Video Files as email attachments - what formats on iPhone 3Gs ?

    Hi
    This may turn out to be a dumb newbie quesiton but what format video files can I play when sent as email attachments?
    WMV shows as an attachment with the Qucktime icon but can't download/play
    MPG allows you to launch but then says "Movie format is not supported"
    Do I need to install a specific player app or is there a setting somewhere that I need to make?... or is this not possible (seems unlikely)
    Plays vids on YouTube etc no problem.
    Thanks!

  • Trouble downloading email attachments

    Can anyone enlighten me as to why all of a sudden (about a couple of months ago) email attachments such as pictures, wmv files and slides won't open any more. It looks as if the files are downloading but instead of then opening and playing, nothing happens. The black slideshow box opens and indicates however many pictures there are, but it just goes round in circles and remains black. Grateful for any help.

    No luck unfortunately
    I turned off all the security preferences I could (Filevault, waking the computer with password etc), except for the master password, and I still am having the same problem of my email attachments not downloading.
    While using Stellar Phoenix Demo to try and recover my deleted files,I had to create a new account, one for myself and one for the Root. Could creating either of these possibly have an effect? I know how stupid that sounds but the separate accounts and the master password being set are the only two options left that I can't change and I'm still having problems downloading attachements.

  • WAV Files on IPHONE

    I have a IPAD2 and a IPHONE 4S.
    I can listen to a WAV file attached to an email on my Ipad. But I can't listen to the same WAV file on my Iphone.  Is there a setting I have missed?

    You need to obtain and install a 3rd Party app from the iTunes App Store to enable listening to .WAV files on your iPhone.
    Hope this helps

  • Trouble Opening Email Attachments

    I am having problems opening email attachments. These attachments are .doc, .pdf and .xls files that used to open. They come across as winmail.dat files and won't open. Any ideas?

    They are appearing like that probably because the emails are being sent in rich text format and not in plain text : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1506 . You might be able to view them via a browser (I've enver received any so I haven't been able to check whether that works), or if you can get them resent in plain text format they should then be ok, or there are a few apps that calim to support winmail.dat files (I haven't tried any of them) e.g. Winmail File Viewer, Winmail.dat Viewer

  • 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).

  • Need advice on a strong laptop for playing/ recording music / .wav files

    I primarily use my laptop for music and enjoy making .wav files and hooking up to main stereo of house.  I've been experimenting with my daughter's laptop but I had to buy a sound card that attaches to the laptop.  Are there any good laptops out there with a good enough sound card available internally?  On my desktop I had a similar problem and needed to upgrade sound card to get the "what U hear" option.

    Most newer laptops have pretty good playback quality, and also most have optical digital audio outputs if you have a surround receiver with digital in.
    Recording is a different story.  In general, almost no system will have good internal recording capability, even with an internal addon card.  Recording is best done with an external device.
    You are confusing TOSLINK optical ouputs with digital coax outputs which are what they normally put on multi-media desktops to provide digital audio output though some older desktops did have TOSLINK ports. There was a period of time several years ago when you might find TOSLINK on a high-end multi-media notebook but digital coax was the standard in those days and that has obviously been replaced by HDMI which carries both digital audio and video signals.
    In my experience, when it comes to laptops, HDMI will produce no sound. I too have seen a handful of laptops that support TOSLINK in the form of a 3.5mm connector, and even the standard sqare connector(not common, however).
    If you aren't getting sound from your HDMI port that means your digital audio output is incorrectly configured, the digital audio signal is not in a format that your HDTV or display can recognize (simply uncheck the Dolby Digital, DTS, or WMA Pro boxes in the properties panel for your digital audio output), or the port on your display doesn't accept digital audio or is set to use analog audio in the settings. If you look in your TV's manual or dig up the manual online, the specs page will tell you what digital audio formats it accepts if any. A lot of older HDTVs with HDMI, as well as a lot of the first monitors with it, didn't accept digital audio over HDMI because they were using repurposed DVI chipsets which could be modified for use with HDMI by swapping out the DVI connector with an HDMI jack due to the fact that HDMI shares it's base video protocols with DVI. All it takes is fifteen seconds to figure it out if you know what you're doing.
    Ya, a mere few hours after I made that post, a friend hooked up his newer laptop to my TV via HDMI, and sure enough...there was sound. Me stands corrected.

  • Trouble sending email attachments or using photo mail

    Hi. I have Elements 6.0 and I'm using a HP computer with Vista. Starting about three days ago (for sure that I know of), I have not been able to send pictures by email attachment or photo mail in SHARE. I have been able to send pictures without problems in the past. When I "send" the pictures, everything looks fine (counting down of pictures sent displays and disappears as usual). When I pull down "find" and then "by history" and then "emailed to", its says my emails have been sent and how many pictures I have sent.
    So, that is my question. What has happened that I can't send email attachments anymore and how can I fix it?
    Thank you for any help or suggestions!
    Laura

    Well I had a brief moment of elation this am. All 26 of the test images I mailed to myself showed up in my mail box and my husbands. Thought it was all fixed. Tried to mail another and so far have not received it. Is it possible that the speed of delivery is REALLY slow? There has always been an inordinate lag time in receipt; about 7 to 10 minutes. But 3 days seems a little ridiculous. In the mean time I registered for the free adobe photoshop. It is bare bones, really easy, and it works. Their email does not have imbedded photos, but it does work. Just go to photoshop.com.

  • Why the speaker cannot play rhe recived wave file from data socket?

    hi,
    i have problem with datasocket when reading a sound file recieved from another computer,at the reciever side we have a waveform at the input of the sowrite module but nothing plays from speaker.
    thanks in advance
    banner,

    Hello!
    I am facing a similar problem. I am trying to broadcast sound using datasocket. One program "sound_input.vi" is to write sound to datasocket server, and another is "sound_output.vi" to read sound from datasocket server. The sound_input writes data to a datasocket server which is running on the same computer, hence the url is to "localhost" and the sound_output specifies url of the datasocket server's computer. (normal datasocket programming)
    When I run both these program on the same computer, there's no error, and I read sound (and infact hear too) perfectly. But, when the sound_output program runs on another computer, I see an error at the computer running sound_input.
    Error 4823 occurred at Sound Input Read (DBL).vi->Sound_Input.vi
    LabVIEW:  (Hex 0x12D7) A task must be running to perform this operation.
    My network connections are ok, since I can run my video input/output application using datasocket server, between these two computers.
    Any clues?
    Thanks ahead.

  • Trouble playing .avi and .mpg files

    I'm about ready to throw my Panasonic HDC-TM15 out the window.
    I used the camera memory to shoot video files and then uploaded those files onto my work computer, which is an HP. The files came in as .m2ts which would only play in the Panasonic video-editing software. Through this software I was able to convert the files to .mpg.
    I decided I wanted to use my new Mac Book Pro to edit the video files so I moved all the files (both .mpg and .m2ts) to an external hard drive and then plugged that into my MacBook. However, the files will not play through quicktime at all. I tried opening some old .avi files and that won't play either.
    I'm really fed up and I don't understand why these files (.mpg, .m2ts, .avi) will not play on my macbook. Any suggestions?

    Both MTS and MPG files are variations of MPEG; .mts is typically an MPEG-2 Transport Stream while .mpg is typically an MPEG-2 Program Stream (but not always). So you're essentially converting from one MPEG format into another and obviously that doesn't help.
    As Jeremy Hansen already suggested, try using MPEG Streamclip (freeware) along with Apple's QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99 USD) to convert the original MTS files into a codec that your system can play/work with.
    Jeremy is also correct about .avi files. AVI is merely a container; the audio and video streams contained within could have been made from any number of codecs, not all are available for a Mac. You could try downloading Perian ( http://perian.org/ ) to see if the added codecs from that package will let you play and/or convert some of the AVI files.

  • Trouble Playing A loaded 'SWF' file in the pain timeline

    Hey there. I have created a presentation that loads
    interactive SWF movies into a 'target' movie clip on the main
    timeline.
    As you progress through the presentation different SWF movies
    are loaded into the presentation. And this in turn allows me to
    change the presentations content quickly and easily for different
    clients.
    These SWF's use some of the flash preloaded content objects
    like combo box's and the like.
    However when these SWF's are called into the main
    presentation they cease to work properly.
    They work fine when tested independently of the main
    presentation.
    Does anyone know how I may be able to get these SWF's to work
    properly?
    Cheers Fletch

    The first thing to do is check the scoping in your loaded
    SWF. Any references to _root, for example, mean something different
    once the SWF is loaded into your wrapper movie.
    Also, some of the V2 components don't work properly when
    their SWF is loaded into another SWF. There's a Tech Note and easy
    workaround here:

  • IPhone email WAV file attachment

    Hello. My company uses a system for voicemail, that will send an email to me with an attached WAV file with the voicemail in it.
    When I check the email and then select the WAV file attachment to play, it pops up with an error that says "this movie could not be played".
    I have researched this and noticed that the WAV file that is sent as an attachment is ecoded with "ACM Waveform". The only WAV file encoding that I found works on the iPhone is "PCM Windows".
    Is there any way to be able to listen to the ACM WAV file? Anyone know of a fix?
    WAV files encoded with ACM, ADPCM and PCM all play fine in iTunes. WAV files encoded with DVI do not however. Yet only the PCM encoded file will play on the iPhone.
    Any suggestions?

    Sure you can. I can send myself emails with WAV files and they open fine using the media player on the iPhone, provided they are encoded with Windows PCM. Anything else does not work.
    That is my issue. The WAV files that my system sends me are encoded with ACM. I need them to be PCM.
