Why won't Outlook prevent forgotten attachments?

Sending an email and then finding out that you forgot the attachment is an embarrassing, frustrating, and common event; and one that could be easily prevented. Outlook scans email for spelling issues and address issues before sending. Why
can't Outlook check for a few key phrases like "see attached", "refer to the attached", "refer to attachement", etc. when sending a new message. If there is no attachment it could pop up a message box that
says something like "You appear to reference an attachment but haven't attached any documents. Send anyway?"
Gmail does it.

Outlook does this too since Outlook 2013.

Why won't Outlook will not sych with icloud

Is there a way to de-install icloud and reinstall on a PC with Windows 7 (64bit)? My computer no longer synchs with icloud and I have duplicate calendars in Outlook and will not open icloud folders?

Same problem here. only i'm on page 2 and it won't let me stay on page 1 long enough to click on any of my apps there

Why won't Outlook 2011 Contacts sync with iPhone Contacts?

When i left a previous company i wanted to keep my outlook contacts. To do this i exported them from the company PC into a .PST file. I was then given a MacBook Air at my current company and wanted to import the contacts from the .PST file to my outlook (Outlook 2011). This was fine and i have my old contacts on my new work MacBook. My problem is that i cannot get the contacts to show in my iPhone 6 (company phone) contacts. When i go to itunes, then my device and contacts i am given the option to sync contacts from different places. The only place that comes up is OWA and there is no option to sync the .PST file that is on my outlook. I need to be able to sync these so that if i add a contact at the office on the mac or if i add a contact on my phone when out meeting a client that they then appear on both devices no matter which one it was created on.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I did what you said and everything looked and worked perfectly...except the events still aren't showing up on my iPhone even though they are in Google Calendar. How much time does it take to populate the iphone calendar with the events from the just added calendar? I changed the settings a couple of hours ago.
Thank you!

Why won't Outlook 2011 send emails?

I'm receiving new emails fine. I've confirmed my outgoing server settings. smtp.mail.yahoo.com using port 25. with ssl selected. Each time I send an email from Outlook it sits in the outbox and I end up with an error "server has timed out"... Suggestions?

As Outlook is a Microsoft product you may get better answers on their product support forums.
Best of luck.

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easilly down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>

TS4062 Why won't my outlook calendar show data from my iPhone calendar after synching.

Why won't my outlook calendar show data from my iPhone calendar after synching?

I have the same problem - between the issue I had with restoring after the upgrade (Error -48), the duplicate entries I now get between my Outlook appointments and iCloud, and the inability to have Events added from the iPhone sync to Outlook, I'm surprised there hasn't been more outcry about 5.0x! Not to mention the battery problem, which I HOPE they ironed out.

Why won't Lion include e-mail attachments?

Help!! Lion won't include e-mail attachments. Does anybody know of a fix for this?

Please be more descriptive, it works perfectly fine on both of my Lion machines so it's probably something you aren't doing. Please describe in detail so you're painting a picture for us. An example of a screen shot of an email that has an attachment would be helpful.

TS3899 Why won't ios7 mail open .tiff attachments?

My iphone mail won't open .tiff file attachments, this is a biggie for me as work constantly uses this format and I need to access it in the go. The old iOS did it no worries and the specs tells me it will open them but as yet no love.

Apple has never supported the ability to open multi-page TIFF files on IOS. Check the App store for apps that support this functionality.

Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder. I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me. I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more. This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

Why won't my Mac, with Mountain Lion installed boot up?

I had problems getting my Mac to boot so I made a Genius Bar appointment at my local Apple Store. The ran some tests and discovered a "disk i/o" error which they said indicated that my hard drive needed replacing. Hard drive replaced, brought it home, restarted, set up, Disk Utility run (permission checks out, disk checks out), Time Machine back up loaded and still all I get is the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel (not beach ball). Why won't it boot up? Any ideas???

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

HT4591 Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

I'm running Snow Leopard and Motion 5.0.4. Software Update doesn't list anything for Motion, but the release notes say it's up to 5.0.7! Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

Thanks! The problem I had was that I simply needed to download a new version from the App Store. I had honestly completely forgotten about the App Store. I'm on 5.0.7 now.

Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open. Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't. It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops. Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

>Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.
