Windows users cannot open window friendly attachments

Hello All,
I have sent "windows friendly" attachments from Mail but Windows recipients cannot open the attachments. This is with .tiff , .pages, etc. I have also tried to change the file name to .doc, .tif, etc. The only attachments that seem to work are .pdf . The check box "send windows friendly" is always checked.
Any way around this?

I tried it and it works. From Pages I did this:
1.
2. Clicked Word Doc.
3. Then saved to desktop so it is easy to find
At first what I did was attach a "Windows Friendly" from Mail. Which you would think would make it "ok" for a pc user. Guess not... (see below)
Thanks for everybody's help!
Tony

Windows users cannot open my Mail attachments

I run into periodic Windows users who cannot open my attachments. Initially they claim they did not receive them, however on further inspection they have received them, just cannot open them.
These files are in various formats: jpg. tif. pdf. I include all file extensions and I send as Windows Friendly Attachment.
What can be done to remedy this problem?

Have you tried Zipping them before attaching? Sometimes this helps.
Finder, ctrl, menu, Archive. (This Zips a duplicate, on my machine).

Windows users cannot open my Pages documents

Even though I check Windows Friendly Attachment, Windows users cannot open my Pages documents. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

If the only questions we're going to answer are the ones that aren't already answered in the manual, then these discussions will consist of little more than directing people to page numbers. Yes, it would be nice if people read the manual before posting here. But everyone's brain works a little differently, and I don't mind if nice people ask questions that can be solved by reading the manual or doing a search in this discussion group. Even figuring out how to find things in the manual isn't intuitive to a lot of people.
In terms of helping people, it's actually a lot less work to provide a solution for them than to look it up in the manual, then come back and report the page number.

Lion-Windows users cannot see attachments

I just upgraded to Lion, and now some Windows users cannot see/find attachments. I did all that was advised (clicking on the "Windows user friendly" list), but to no avail. I sent to several Windows users and no one can see attachments with the new Mail program. Also, one of the most important icons in the Mail toolbar ("Add Attachment") seems to be missing. This sometimes helped in previous Mail versions when sending to PCs, but I cannot locate it in Lion. Looks like I will have to use Microsoft Office Outlook for email. This is too bad, as I like the other features the new Apple Mail program has, but must use a trustworhty email program.

Scott,
The issue is one I am chasing, and is due to Lion's change to not send Plain Text (apparently). Although changed in the Compose window, when reviewed, it will have been sent with HTML, anyway.
While the actual problem is with MS and Outlook or Outlook Express, the work around once was to use the command to Make Plain Text before sending.

Windows Journal cannot open " ". An unexpected error occurred in Windows 7 Professional

I copied my Windows Journal Notes from a tablet with Windows XP Tablet PC edition onto my Windows 7 Computer. When I try to open a note from the pull down "look-in" menu within the Windows Journal program, I gives me the error
"Windows Journal Cannot open. An unexpected error occurred." I thought this was a problem with my computer, BUT have replicated this same error on every computer in Best Buy and other computer stores. This is not a problem with
my personal notes. This is a problem with the coding of the Windows Journal Software on Windows 7 and 8. It was also tested on a Vista computer with the same error.
Please, if someone knows how to fix this problem please let me know. I use Windows Journal exclusively on a tablet PC for my business and am afraid of upgrading from XP to Windows 7 or 8 unless I can see that the Win7 version of JOURNAL works properly
as the WinXP Tablet edition of Win Journal.
Note: I have tried recreating user profiles, sfc.exe, cleanboot, safe mode, chkdisk.... all failed. THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE IS THE ACTUAL CODE that is written for Windows Journal. ALL notes can be opend by hitting FILE-OPEN. However, if you
go to the "view recent notes" button and click on the "look-in" pull down menu within the Windows Journal program, you can not open the file through this. Because of the way I do my business, I need to look up various files quickly
and write notes after opening each note from the "look-in" pull down menu.
Please Help.

The problem seems to be that the "look-in" menu doesn't open the files which are located in the "Notes" folder. If I open the files through windows explorer in windows 7, the file opens into windows journal and appears in the look-in menu.
Another interesting thing occurs if you create an additional folder under my documents. I tested this on various computers in an electronic store: Windows Journal was working fine with the "look-in" menu; I was able to open various journal note
documents. Then, once I created another folder under My Documents and tried to open a journal note in that folder and then go back to the "notes" folder, I was able to replicate the same error message.
In short, it seems that once a new folder is created, the original folder "Notes" as well as the new folder, both do not allow for the files within them to be opened through the "look-in" menu. However, they may be opened from hitting FILE, then OPEN.
But, the "look-in" and Browse menu doesn't work.
Also, I looked in the Event Viewer and couldn't find anything in particular related to Win Journal. Please tell me what and where specifically to look in the Event Viewer --- I can't seem to find anything related to Windows Journal errors in the Event
Viewer.
Thank you.

You cannot open window [60110] Service Call Form with your current license

Mohamed

Dear Mohamed,
This issue probably occurs due to the application error described in the SAP Note [1456922|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1odSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1456922].
When login B1 with incorrect upper/lower cases for the user name (eg. The user name is registered "manager" but login as "Manager"), the user can login successfully but fails to open a certain form window the user has permission.
This issue is planned to be fix in a Patch of 8.8.
As workaround, until the issue will be fixed, the users should use exactly the same user name as itu2019s represented in the OUSR table, with case sensitive user code.
hope it helps,
Regards,

After updating photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 x32 (windows) I cannot open my documents/files or create new

I had the problem before. Reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and updated again.
Clicking a file starts Photoshop but does not open the file.
If I click "new" to make a new file, nothing happens.
Help....!!!!!!

Hi PE
Yes, but nothing happened.
I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
However, it did not work.

Error You cannot open window [951] Authorisations with your current licence

Dear experts,
I am getting following error msg while clicking on any documet in sap b1 Menu..
You cannot open window [951] Authorisations with your current licence
Thank you
Santosh Dhere

Hi Santosh..
You can check by clicking each user on the License administrator to find which user has assigned the License.
To reset the licence please follow SAP note 951816:
Symptom
When trying to allocate licenses to users, the number of licenses available is less than the (number of total - number of licenses already assigned).
(Menu Path: Administration -> License -> License Administration)
Solution
A user with a license allocated to her/him has been deleted from the system without deallocating the license first, or a company with users assigned has been deleted without deallocating the licenses first.
Each time a license is allocated/deallocated an entry is generated in an xml file "B1Upf.xml"
(Path: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One ServerTools\License\ B1Upf.xml).
If a user/database is deleted without previous deallocation of a license that entry is not removed from the file thus taking up a license space.
To resolve the issue follow these steps:
1. Close all SAP Business One clients.
2. Make a copy of the file (C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One ServerTools\License\B1Upf.xml) and save it with a different name or in a different folder.
3. Delete the original file.
4. Stop/Start the license server.
5. Connect to SAP Business One and assign the licenses (Administration -> License -> License Administration). You will need to reassign licenses for all your users.

Kennedy

Windows Defender cannot open

Hello,
I've got a question about Windows defender: I have a brand new Thinkpad T440S (Windows 8.1 Pro) and
Windows Defender cannot open. There is a message saying: “This app has been turned off and isn’t monitoring your computer”. Impossible to turn it on”. When I try to launch it (R+service.mcs + windows defender), I still have this message: “Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.”
What should I do about this issue?
Thanks a lot for your answers/advice.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
For Windows 8 (and later), Microsoft renamed its Microsoft Security Essentials anti-malware software to Windows Defender. Which can be a bit confusing since Windows Defender was the name of the anti-spyware program Microsoft shipped for Windows 2000 through Windows 7, and worked alongside other anti-malware programs.
Windows Defender (the version for Windows 8 and newer) is a full anti-malware program and cannot be run in combination with other anti-malware programs such as those from Kaspersky, McAfee, Symantec and so forth.

PC users cannot open my Pages-exported PDF documents

Has anyone encountered this? When I want to give someone a PDF, I need to export it from Pages, choose "Open with Adobe Reader," and then re-save from Reader as a different name. (If I just export from Pages, some PC users cannot open it.) When I look at the file information for these two supposed PDFs, the one that's only exported from Pages says "Portable Document Format (PDF)" and the one opened and resaved with Reader says "Adobe PDF Document." What's going on here? Is there a reason my PC friends can't open a Pages-generated PDF?

Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, when I changed the "Open With" selection inside the "File Info" box to tell it to use Reader, it it still tells me in the "General" information section that it's a "Portable Document Format (PDF)", but it does replace the "Preview" icon in the upper left with the Adobe logo. Only the version that I physically opened with Reader and re-saved lists the "Kind" of document as an "Adobe PDF Document". Wacky.
Regarding the extension, when I exported from Pages, the "Hide Extension" box was unchecked in the "Save" window, yet the file's PDF extension is in fact hidden (and the "File Info" box also says it's hidden). What's up with that? Grr.
Seems like a small bug--now I just have to get some PC-using friends to let me know which ones they can open! Thanks for your (tres rapide) help guys!

Some Users cannot Open Workflow Approval Task

We have a SPD workflow published to our production site and it includes a 'Start Approval Process' task which involves a number of users (determined by a lookup to another list) this worked brilliantly until we republished the workflow with some minor changes,
none of which were to this particular approval task. Now we are seeing some strange behaviours. When some users click the task to approve they are seeing 'This from cannot be opened in a browser, To open this form use Microsoft Infopath'. Now strangely it's
only certain users, if you're a site collection admin you never have this error. So if a user previously had the error and i then add them to the site collection administrators list the error goes away and they can complete the task.
Obviously not a solution! giving users full control permissions on the task list or task item doesnt fix the error either. The same workflow on our UAT works without any issues. The task forms in SPD have not been customised either. Its a SP2010 Standard
farm with no infopath services obviously. Bizarrely there are some users with only Contribute rights to the task list who can open approve tasks, so it's looking like a permissions issue to me but I'm at a loss to find a fix. I've tried totally removing
the worklows and republishing, regenerating the .xsn task forms in SPD by deleting them and republishing, removing and re-adding the task related content types to site, Changing the Approval Task settings 'only allow users to edit their tasks...' to false
and then back to true, the works, but to no avail.
Anybody any ideas?
TIA
Chris

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Some Users cannot Open Workflow Approval Task.
I recommend that you can create a new list and workflow to check whether it works.
Then use the user who get the error to open task.
If he can open the task in the brower, the issue is related to the older list.
Then you can use the new created list and assgin the task.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

How to retrict user cannot open the same form more than once (Forms 6i)

Our users always open the same forms more than once. For example the customer form, the user may access a customer record in the first form, however, he will open a new customer form to edit the same record, the result is he cannot save the record because the record is locked in the first customer form.
How can I control the user cannot open the same form more than 1 time.
Best Regards,
Kane

The customer form is only an example, I found there will cause a lot of problems is I cannot control the user from calling 1 program more than 1 than within application. Sometimes a user (not good in using computer) will overlap the form for many times.....
Is there any simple way to do that?...can I have some PL/SQL statement or build-in functions that let me easily found our what forms the user has already opened, then I can control whether I let him open this form or not.
Urgent...please
Thanks

Migrated user cannot open outlook or log into owa

We are in the middle of an Exchange 2013 migration from 2007 and this is the 2nd time I've encountered this issue. The migrated user cannot open outlook or log into owa. The error that is thrown in owa is below. I cant really find any info
on this error. Also, notice the date. No idea where its getting that. We've moved about 7000 users and I've seen this on two of them. I'd appreciate any insight on this. Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by Duplicate legacyExchangeDN properties. Thus, let’s check it and remove or change it:
Check if the properties of the two problematic users is same. If it’s same, we can change the value.
If not, let’s check if there are other users who have the same value with the two users:
Use LDP.exe to search "legacyexchangedn=/o=…”.

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
