Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email. I need to save the pdf file itself.

Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email? I need to save the pdf file itself, so I can re-read them for later. ANy fix. Some pdf files I send are saved as pdf files unopened.

I have no idea how an iPad works.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader.

I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader. I do not want to view them in iBooks or Quickoffice. Since I cannot email these large files, how can I get them on my iPad? Thanks for your help.

I think that Adobe reader supports file sharing.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under "devices". Click on the Apps Tab in the window on the right. Scroll down to the File Sharing Apps list under the main apps list. Click on Adobe Reader. Drag the documents into the file sharing window on the right or select them using the "add" button.
Launch the Adobe reader app and the files should be in there.

I can't open any of my Word documents on my Apple Mac. The error code is EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) and the blame module name is WordArt. The documents are still there, and I can open them on my iPad when I email them there. Any ideas?

Uhhhhh... Thank GOD... Got all of my files.
Spent some time on the phone with Apple Care... who was great to deal with but actually... not as helpful as I was hoping. It was suggested that I try DiskWarrior 4 to try to recover the files. $108 later, I had no files.
More calls with Apple Care and they were pretty sure that everything was gone since once the External drive was installed, like a moron, I let TimeMachine go ahead and back up my new MacBook... so it overwrote who knows how many gig that was my entire MacBook.
I wasn't giving up so I called Maxtor, the manufacturer of the external drive itself. They suggested file recovery software from I365... which is also a Seagate company (the makers of the drive). The suggested I simply use their demo because the demo version would find the files. If it found them, I could buy the software to restore them.
It found them! Another $129 after and I was able to restore all of them back to my old PC laptop.
NOW, I just need to figure out how to get the 50gig of HD video files off of my old laptop now and into my Mac and IMovie so I can actually make some DVDs out of them!
I get that Macs and PCs are different formats but I think it is ridiculous that formatting still means basically just wiping out or at least treating massive lots of old data as if it isn't there. There's gotta be a better way to do that.

After installing a new motherboard, my imac opens pdf files with colorsync. How do I reset it to open them with Adobe?

That makes sense Dennis. I did that but was unable to find Adobe Reader in my Applications folder. Of note though is that after a restart, the problem seems to have gone away. So, disaster averted. Thanks for responding though. It's nice to have help on this stuff.

Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them

Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
the songs are in the library

I had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0. I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad. I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.

What are these files that keep appearing on my desktop and how can I stop them from showing up?

Ever since I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks, I've had these strange files show up on my desktop. The trouble is that they show up even a little while after I delete them. Here's a few examples:

I've done a few virus scans, but they showed no viruses. Why are these files always popping up and how can I prevent them from appearing on my desktop again?

You need to delete Bitdefender from your Mac. It will cause you nothing but problems.
Removing Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac
The best way to prevent malware from being installed on your Mac is to enable Gatekeeper.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

How can i change my files from cwk to normal files that i can send to anyone and they can open them

i have an imac with snow lepard program, and all the files from apple work finish, once saved with cwk.

is there any way i can convert them into something thats compatiable with all other programs and computers?
HELP thank you

AW WP & SS files can be opened directly in Pages and Numbers (iWork). From there they can be exported as Word or Excel, but there may be some loss of formatting.
Just drag WP file onto the Pages icon in the Dock, or a SS file onto the numbers icon. Likewise presentation files onto the Keynote icon.
Or you can right-click on the file and use the "open with" dialogue to choose the relevant application.
Databases are less easy.
You can export AW DB files as ASCII text files which can then be imported into Numbers. Not ideal, but OK for simple lists.
You can then export them as .csv files which can be imported to most third-party database applications.
For drawing and paint files, Intaglio looks OK, but pricey. You may find others with a bit of searching, but that's the only current app I found that claims to open AW draw and paint files (as distinct from MacPaint and MacDraw).
Addendum; I'm told that the ASCII extension can be manually changed to .tsv (tab seperated values) which should also open directly in many database apps.

I have a pdf file attached to email inbox for ipad3. I also have an neu.Annotate app for pdf. Can anyone tell me how to open my pdf through neu.Annotate and save the file?

How do I save the pdf on ipad3? How can I view the fiel from neu.Annotate so that I could do the editing from the app?

If the PDF isn't already downloaded in the email then you should be able to do so by tapping on it.
If the PDF is open within the body of the email then press and hold it and after a second or so you should get a 'Open In' pop-up; otherwise (e.g. the PDF opens into a separate screen) then tap the PDF and you should get an icon top right of a box with an arrow coming out of it - tap that and you'll get the 'Open In' option

I used to be able to open pdf-files but then all of a sudden I have problem opening them. Why? I have already tried all the steps in Troubleshooting.

I have also recently installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Could that be the reason?

Because you had the printer connected to Windows, the print queue on your Mac was for this connection. With you moving the printer away from the Windows computer, the print queue on the Mac will no longer work and will show offline. So for the new connection of the printer you have to create a new print queue.
Now the question is; how is the printer connected to the Mac. If it is connected by USB to the Mac then it should appear in the Default Add Printer view. If it is connected to the Mac via some other method, then could you reply with how it is connected.
If it is connected to the Mac by USB then the most likely cause for the printer not appearing in the Default Add Printer view is thenUSB printer cable. So try disconnecting it and reconnecting it or even try another USB printer cable.

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.
