Why Can't AOL Mail or Safari Open PowerPoint Attachment (.pps) ?

I went to Microsoft but they offer nothing for OSX

Hi akwehl,
If you don't have MS Office, and if you can boot (dual booting machine) into OS9 (not Classic under OSX), I've seen online that you may be able to download MicroSoft's free PowerPoint Viewer to view them.
If not, you can most likely be able to use OSX and open them in the free NeoOffice which should open them. You can find it at NeoOffice.
hope that helps some,

  • Embedded tiff file in aol mail wiill not open firefox34

    An embedded tiff file sent via aol mail will not open in firefox. If it is sent by gmail it will.
    If it is sent by aol to IE 11 it will open. ??????

    <blockquote>
    Firefox can't handle TIFF files internally.
    You will have to open the file in an external application or install a plugin like AlternaTIFF.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.
    If these don't work try Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can't run Mail and Safari at the same time.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can't run Mail and Safari at the same time.
    Either Mail will crash or the iMac will run so slowly as to be unusable. With both running, the HDD spins constantly at a high rate of speed.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    Why can I receive mail on my iPad during my visit to the USA but not send mail?

    Double check to make sure that your same email addresses are set up on both devices in the Messages settings. Also ensure that you have text messaging forwarding turned off if you do not want to receive them on your iPad.

  • Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

    Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • Can't e-mail from Safari's Reader after upgrading to 7.0

    How come I can't e-mail directly from Safari's Reader after upgrading to 7.0?  That was a great feature.  Why did Apple disable this or is something wrong with my Safari browser?

    Thanks.  I didn't know the command but the old version had a menu that appeared at the bottom of the page.

  • With router linked, mail and safari opens slow!

    WHEN MY IMAC HAVE MY ROUTER d-LINK G604T CONNECTED, Mail and Safari take a very long time - one.2 minutes to open on my imac with 10.3.
    Safari keeps bouncing in the dock. Then, after 20 bounce, it stops. The black triangle under the icon isn't displayed. After 20 seconds safari opens!!!
    mail: bounce just 4-5 times, then stops bouncing, the triangle is displayed, but no windows is opened. If i right click on the icon, the windows says "application not responding".
    After a minute the window opens.
    This DON'T HAPPEN if the router is not connected to the mac.
    WHY?

    I know it's very late to reply but I have had the same problem recently and the solution for me was to enter the DNS servers in the Network Preferences. It solved my problem immediately.

  • AOL mail does not open PDFs on iPad mini

    I have AOL mail set up on an iPad mini. I live in a retirement community and we get frequent notices from the staff by email.  Many of these notices come as PDF attachments.  When I open these emails, the icon for the attachment immediately goes into download mode, then after a few seconds it changes into a icon labelled "winmail.dat".  When I tap that icon, nothing opens and I am offered AirDrop or Mail ... as if I wanted to share it with someone.
    I have reset the entire iPad, and resetup the AOL mail. Same problem.  I took the iPad into my local Apple store and they suspected hardware problems and gave me a new iPad.  I set it up from scratch (the backup would not work!), and resetup the AOL mail again.  But, same situation on the PDF attachements from my retirement community staff.
    Note: PDF attachemnts from other people seem to work OK, which makes me suspect some combination of my iPad AOL email and the retirement community's email process.
    Does anybody have an idea on what is going on here, or possible next steps?

    Jazcan,
    Thx for the references.  It appears that the solution may be to UNCHECK "Send to this recipient in Microsoft rich text format" checkbox in OUTLOOK.  But, we are unable to find this checkbox.  Any guidance on where it might be in OUTLOOK?

  • Why can I not lock the Safari window to display?

    Before Mavericks, the Safari window would always open on the last display to close one. In this way, I could lock the Safari window to my second display. With Mavericks, it always opens on the primary display--no matter what. The ability to open it on my display of choice made things easier as I could have Mail and Safari windows open simultaneously without one trying to cover the other.
    I would like to see this ability restored.

    Force close an app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

  • Re: Mail and Safari opening randomly

    Hi.
    I sspoke to Apple support over the w/e. they feel it was prob malware. They got me do delete lots of stuff from the library but mo avail. In the end I was advised to reinstall from Time Machine from a period before the problem arose. All went well until I got a message saying "Unable to restore from this disk".
    In the end I did a complete reinstall, which was v tedious and will take an hour or so per day for a week to get the computer back as it was. The odd thing is that the files on the Timemachine disk are all checking out ok and the disk verifies. Normally I have a copy of Supaduper to act as a second backup, but just this once...........
    Best wishes

    Hi Hackintosh
    I have exactlly the same problem as described by Doug, but I am running latest version of Lion (10.7.3). It doesn't seem to occur if I log in as another user, and I have run both clamxav and cocktail.
    Sometimes Safari opens spontaneously at a Bing search page with a load of nonesense in the search box, or sometimes the Mail app opens with an email written with similar nonsense, but empty address fields.
    It is v irritating.
    I have quite a few login items:
    Day One agent (a journal app from the app store)

    Growl
    Eye TV Helper
    Busycal Alarm
    Rogue Amoeba Schedule Helper

  • Why can't I get Automator to open multiple files at once?

    I'm trying to do something relatively simple with Automator: I want it to open (in Photoshop) all RAW files within a certain folder. Here is what I have:
    1. Get folder contents
    2. Filter Finder items: Name Extension Contains "RAW"
    3. Open Finder items: Open with Adobe Photoshop
    When I save this as a Finder plug-in and apply it to a folder, it only opens the first RAW image in PS. It is possible to open multiple RAW images at once in Photoshop, so that's not the problem. Somehow I can't tell get Automator to open ALL the RAW images in the folder, not just the first one. I've tried substituting "Find Finder Items" for "Filter Finder Items" but the result is the same.
    What am I missing? A million thanks to anyone who can give me a solution!

    If your using PSCS2 I assume you also have Adobe Bridge.
    The best I can come up with is a workflow that filters RAW files out of a mixed file folder into their own folder, then opens that folder in Bridge, from where, with a command-a (to select all) and command-o (to open), you get all of your RAW files up in the RAW converter.
    1. Get Specified Finder Items (Make this source folder)
    2. Get folder contents
    3. Filter finder items
    4. New Folder (Target for filtered results)
    5. Open finder items (Open with Bridge)
    I've tried adding an Open with Photoshop as a last step and for some reason it bypasses the RAW converter and pops them straight into PS.
    IMHO, it's just as easy to use the Adobe Bridge, and open the files you want direct from there.

  • Why can't Apple Mail filter out junk mail like Gmail?

    Gmail does a great job of filtering out spam.  Lately, iCloud is doing a miserable job.  It appears to have gotten much worse in recent months.  Apple's official advice on this is laughably ineffective.  Why can't Apple's do as well as Google at this?

    How would we know?  We aren't iOS developers.
