Why do excel attachments get received by ipads as dat files yest excel file by mac pc's?

Question should have read: Why do excel attachments get received by ipads as dat files but received as excel files by mac pc's?

Are you using Outlook as your email client?
The problem is with Outlook and on the sending side of things. Have the sender change their Outlook text settings from RTF (rich text) to plain text and the attachment should arrive uncorrupted.

Why can I only get the option to print pdf files

Hi,
I have a website app that uses CR13sp2 and VS2010sp2. The reports were created with CR10 and are retrieved
to be printed via the VS2010 CR13 app.
I get receive a window which reads:
The viewer must export to PDF to print. Choose the Print option from the PDF reader application once the document is opened. Note: You must have a PDF reader installed to print. (eg. Adobe Reader)
The server is sql server 2003 and I have loaded all the latest runtimes for CR10
Can someone tell me what wrong. There are no CR13 reports passed to the app
Isaac

And to set the export types use this code:
// set up the format export types:
int myFOpts = (int)(
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.PdfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptrFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XLSXFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.CsvFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.EditableRtfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RtfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.WordFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XmlFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat);
    //CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.NoFormat); // does nothing except show no export types
//int myFOpts = (int)(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.AllFormats);
crystalReportViewer1.AllowedExportFormats = myFOpts;
You will need to create your own Print button to be able to use all types.

Not receiving email with ETP.DAT file

I have two users that are not receiving the email from the blackberry.net domain that has the ETP.DAT file attached. I set a new activation password on my blackberry and received the email. I have tried activating these guys a dozen time. I deleted them from the BES and re-entered their BES profile still nothing. I am only having problems with these two. When I activated myself I was able to trace the email through our SMTP Server right to my mail box. We are a Lotus Notes camp. Can anyone think of something I can try?

Why can't I get signal for Ipad 50 feet away in upstairs

I have a new airport extreme wireless router. signal is just ok in next about 30 feet awy almost line of sight. Cannot get wifi in upstair bedroom about 50 feet away. How can I make signal better or stronger.

Hi bcircus,
Below is the setup guide for your Airport Extreme
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/airport_extreme_5th_gen_setup.pdf
The article below outlines the optimal wireless settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
If your signal is weak in another part of your home, you may need to extend the network with an Airport Express:
Extend an existing Wi-Fi network’s range.
If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express — and near the area where you want your wireless connection. Launch the easy-to-use AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac, and you’re mere minutes away from long-range Wi-Fi enjoyment.
Cheers,
Judy

Why do i keep getting "image is missing preview data" when trying to move files from bridge to PS ??

I am not able to move multiple files to PS...regardless whether I am doing HDR or panorama.....get this "image is missing preview data" with the first file number of the series of files.
#missingpreviewdata

You don't "move" anything from Bridge "into" Photoshop. You use Bridge to call on Photoshop to come and open the file(s), and Bridge simply hands the files over to Photoshop.
The problem lies in how the files are being processed and saved.
No one can help you until you provide complete and sensible details.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Why do i always get conversion failure when converting pdf files to xls in exportpdf program?

I have had export pdf for months. I cannot export pdf files to excel files. It always says conversion failure. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I am so frustrated! This was supposed to make my payroll reports easier, but it has not helped at all.

Hi denise/sharon,
I can understand your frustration. Are you converting via the ExportPDF website, or from within Adobe Reader? Does the conversion failure occur every time that you try to convert a file (has it ever worked for you)?
Since you're talking about payroll, I'm assuming that you're accessing ExportPDF from a corporate computer. You may want to check with your IT department to make sure there are no firewall/proxy settings that limit your access to the Internet.
Also, make sure that you're using a supported web browser. You can find a list here: System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services
Finally, if you're using Reader, you can try disabling OCR (optical character recognition) by following the steps in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Why do I keep getting low memory errors when opening files in Bridge CS4? (New computer running i7 2.40GHz, 12GB RAM)

Just picked up a new computer which has a lot more RAM than my old computer bu I keep getting low memory errors. Never had this issue on my old computer, any ideas?

Windows or Mac? (If the former, I can't be of any help.) Exact version of your OS?
How much available disk space? Do you have a separate hard drive for Photoshop's scratch file?

Why is my machine sending / receiving a lot of data to the Internet?

Hi All,
After a few hours of running, my machine starts receiving and sending data from and to the Internet at about 275kbps each way (the maximum speed that my Internet connection supports). Here is what I saw:

Does anybody know what is happening on my machine? I'm really worried because the machines with ip addr of 111.*.*.* are from China and Taipei.

What do you expect a firewall to do? You do realize that for a simple ssh and web server facing the internat you don't need a firewall, if there are no specific access requirements to the services, right? Besides, the box is NATed and the router provides a firewall.
Indeed. The fact that the box is behind a router emerged in response to my question/comment about the firewall. I never said that the router did not provide this. (Although routers do vary and anything being forwarded to the box is obviously not firewalled. Depending on the router, you might or might not be able to make the controls there as fine-grained as you could using iptables. (With the router I've got, you have very little fine-grained control so it would certainly make sense to run iptables if you wanted more control.)
I completely agree that blocking particular ips is pointless.
@hunterthomson:
Great lesson from microsoft: if it doesn't work -- reinstall, it's all because of an angry virus. Before assuming that apache/samba is hacked, perhaps it is wise to learn about configs first...
As far as I can tell, nobody has suggested that a virus is involved. The suggestion is that a rootkit is involved. That is hardly the same. If that's the case, then learning to configure things securely is clearly wise but reinstalling is likely to be the only way to be certain the system is trustworthy simply because the system is compromised in that case. Configuring the services correctly will not do any good if there's a rootkit inside.
This is not to say that forensics is not a good idea prior to reinstalling. I guess that will depend on a whole range of factors.

How to get the owner sid of a file in Mac 10.7?

How can i get the owner sid and owner names of files in Macbook?
I am running an application through wine emulator and need to get the owner sid and owner names of files.

Your question doesn't make sense.
First off, if you are going to get the attributes of a file, you need its full name before you can do anything. So that's part one taken care of.
This function returns a dictionary full of typical file information (type, size, mod dates, etc.) as well as some HFS data (creator code, type code) which, I strongly suspect, are not "pulled out of the file" but rather generated on the spot. (See NSFileManager for the full list of attribute keys.)
The other items you hoped of retrieving are not part of the regular file system. Sure, a Truetype font has a copyright string and a version, but what about an HTML file? A PNG? A text file you just created?
There simply are no standard functions to retrieve copyright and version.

Why does iPhoto 6.x create another set of data files?

Hi,
I upgraded from iPhoto 5 to 6, and iPhoto creates a new file system housed in 'Data'. The old folders labelled by year from iPhoto 5 still sit there, gobbling up HD space.
Is it safe to delete them?
Thanks,
Klaus

Hi Klaus,
Here is what the folders are:
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
As for the stray Year folders in the root of the library folder...look through them and make sure there are no photos in those folders before you delete them. If there are photos in those folders, check and see if the photos are in your library when you open iPhoto. If they are in your library, then you can delete the stray Year folders in the root of the iPhoto Library folder.
Do not touch the Data, Originals or Modified folders as they all have year folders in them also.
