Why is there a extra file attached to attchments opened on a PC

When I send files attached to a email that get opened on a pC they always have an additional file attached.
Is there a way to prevent this?

They're "Spotlight" index files. You CAN'T remove them in OS X because Spotlight will just replace them, and Windows can't use them but it will show them if you have Explorer set to show hidden flles.
In an Explorer window, click Tools>FolderOptions
Under the "View" tab, uncheck "Show Hidden Files and Folders".
Click Apply and OK.
That won't remove the files but you won't see them anymore.

Why is there a maximum email attachment size?

I can understand why there is a maximum MMS file message size but why is there a maximum email attachment size set by the handset? The limit is preventing me sending pictures from my phone. MMS messages are charged at a flat rate but GPRS data is chared per kB. My operator, Tmobile, say they have no limit on email message sizes (and obviously they make more money if you send a larger file. If I transfer my sim card to my laptop or PDA I am able to send any size of attachment with no problem. But with the sim back in the handset a limit of 100kB is imposed. I get the same result using both Tmobile or Orange sims. This is especially annoying if you have a phone that produces high quality images with file sizes several times the limit. You can have a great image with no means of sending it at its original resolution. Anyone know why this is?

Most operator's (carrier's) MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Center) servers do set a limit.
What the MMS size limit that's guaranteed to go through is defined by a document known as the MMS Conformance Document (maintained by OMA, Open Mobile Alliance, which is a standardization organization by mobile device manufacturers and network operators, primarily).
So, both the handsets (phones) may or may not have a size limit depending on how it was designed, and in addition the networks also have their own limits, and they do not need to be the same, but the doc I mentioned specifies what the devices and networks have to support, at least.
More on OMA (and you can try to find the MMS Conformance Doc, if you wish):

Why is there an old file name next to the search icon on all my pop up windows?

Parade Dental is an old project file which has now been deleted but for some reason it appears here. How do I get rid of it?

You can actually store (aliases to) files, servers, etc. up there in the menubar.
You may have inadvertently dragged it there once.
If the item is no longer available, you get the question mark.
Press the command key and drag that thing off of there.

Why isnt there an XFDL file reader for the MacBook BUT there is one for the iPhone

This has been a long going issue for us military folk. A lot of our official forms are XFDL files and its really had to do work on our Mac Books when there isn't a reader for this file except on the iPhone and iPad. Many of us have moved from windows to the Apple products...BUT...the military is still stuck in the past and still using Windows and windows programs. PLEASE HELP.

Hi AdithyaRavi,
Thank you for the suggestion, however is this also happening on a specific site?

Why won't my SWF file attached to html play in Safari but work fine in Firefox?

I've tested the files in dreamweaver, on all browsers, and they work fine. But when I uploaded them to my site they only work in Firefox. The crazy thing is when I check the file in file management they work just not from the main site. What am I missing?

I have a MacBook Pro bought in 2010. I had been burning Sony DVD+R's without any problem.
Then I ran out of blanks and bought a cake of Sony DVD-R's. Put one into the drive and the
macbook spit it out. Launched Toast then inserted the blank again and Toast says "You can't write
to this disk". Quit Toast and out comes the blank.
The system info for the DVD drive says it can read/write -R, -R DL. +R, +R DL, etc. Anything.
I don't know what the problem is, but it is not a failing or dirty drive. I don't think it is a problem with
the blank DVDs either. It is probably a compatibility problem between MacBook Pros and
Snow Leopard/Leopard and -R DVDs.

Why does'nt a pdf file sent to me open automatically. I have to open adobe software first and then open the file.

Why cant a pdf file open automatically.I have to first open adobe software and then open the document.

All files have their "native" application. Without the application the file cannot be created.
Once created the file must have the native application to be "opened".
For the application to do that first to open is the software (application).
Be well...

Why does "There is no default app specified to open the document.."pop up

Hello. I'm still getting used to my iBook (I only had it for like a month now) and sometimes when I try to open different applications this message keeps coming up. It gives me the option to cancel or to choose an application, but just about all the application are in the light gray color and it won't let me select it. Help please! Thanks in advance

What kind of file is dir.data? What program do you think should open it? A .doc file is a Microsoft Word document. You could use AppleWorks or even TextEdit to open it. If you click on the file once to select it, you should be able to choose "Get Info" from the File menu. In the next window, you should be able to select AppleWorks or TextEdit to open the file.

How do I install Rosetta Stone onto my Macbook running OSX 10.8 when installing it I go into the folder called For MAC Users and the files in there are .exe files which cant be open on a Mac. If anyone has a solution or even a download link let me know.

This is really frustrating please let me know I looked around and all the downloads cost money and I would prefer if you guys could give me a free one but a solution would be even better!!
Thanks

You have the Windows version of the software. You will need to contact Rosetta Stone directly to get the Mac version of their software. I can confirm it does install on Mountain Lion without issues.

IMAP. Two Leopard Macs. 1st Mac sees file attachment 2nd Mac doesn't

I use two Mac computers both on 10.5.2, each running Apple Mail 3.2 to access Gmail's IMAP.
Worked well for ages, but recently, in one computer, I sent an email with a very large 3MB file attachment, and then transferred it to a folder. That was then reflected in Gmail's IMAP interface. Hence, as far as Gmail is concerned, the file attachment and email are there.
But when I used the 2nd Mac to download the same email, the email is there, but no file attachment.
When I open the particular email, there's an error message at the top of the email:
Apple-Mail-9-1026228142
Content-Type: text/plan; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed; delsp=yes
Content- Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
I've never seen that before.
Also, in the 2nd Mac, in Apple Mail, there is no paper clip icon that is usually associated with a file attachment.
Even stranger: A few days later, I initially used the 2nd Mac to download an email with a file attachment. So the email and file attachment are on the 2nd Mac. I verify that the email+file attachment are on Gmail's IMAP web interface.
The strange thing, however, is that the 1st Mac now only seems the same email, but no file attachment.
It almost seems as if whichever Mac I first use (either the 1st or 2nd Mac) to download an email with file attachment, that initial Mac sees the attachment. But subsequently, when the other of the Macs downloads the same attachment, it does not have the attachment.
As said, Gmail's webmail IMAP indicates the attachment is there.
Any ideas?

I figured it out. I had been connecting to my router with Ethernet AND Airport (both were turned on in my Network preferences, and both had a green-light status of 'connected'). Don't know why that would have affected it, but when I turned OFF the airport connection everything was instantaneously corrected.

Is there an actual solution to "Unable to open project file"

This has happened to me so many times that it isn't funny. So many people have asked why their final cut project files are unable to open. I have tried all the suggestions such as deleting preferences, repair permissions, saving files often and separate project files with different versions, but there always seems to be one that doesn't open and usually several versions before that as well as the autosave files.
Basically I need to save all the time and check every few minutes to see if I am not losing anything, which is very annoying. Why does this happen? It doesn't happen in iMovie. It is very frustrating. Is there an actual solution or just work arounds? Is Apple aware of this problem? Can they do something about it?
PowerMac G5, iBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Al,
Thanks for the reply. So how should my system setup be? I have searched tons of forums. Some say that FCE doesn't like transparent images and I have used transparent images, but that is one of the things it is supposed to do in order to create certain effects. Many forums say that the file gets corrupted and so should save often and save seperate project files such as version 1, 2, 3 and so forth, which I have done, but why do the files get corrupted? If the render files are the problem, how do I know and how do I solve the problem. Like I said I have searched this forum and many others and they all say the same thing, but I still don't know why it keeps happening and what the real solution is.

Why is there way too much extra info attached to my photo cd, when I simply burnt only 6 pictures on it? This has been happening for months now.

Why is there too much extra info attached to my photo cd, when I simply burnt only 6 pictures on it?
This has been happening for several months now.
It used to work correctly.
For example:
I burnt a photo file of 25 pictures from my iphoto collection.
When I went to the store to print them, the computer indicated there were 155 photos on it.
All were cropped versions of my 25 pictures.
Weird.
Then when I only burnt 6 pictures today onto a cd, I took the disc to a Print Shop.
Sure enough, the disc had other data and files associated with photos on it.
Yes, my 6 were on it, but the Print Shop had to spend extra time searching for them.
What's uP?

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Why is my 40 minute long iMovie showing to be 22.9 gb in total. if i go into all my files there are extra clips there and when i delete any of them it deletes my source clip

Why is my 40 minute long imovie video showing to be 22.9 gb in total if i go into.... all my files.... there are extra clips there and when i delete any of them it deletes my source clip. I think the video should be about 9gb

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update? My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
Select "Properties"
Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?

Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews. We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension). The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation. Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform. Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?

FYI Rave,
There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:
