Word documents are garbled when sent through Outlook Exchange. I know something in the profile folder gets corrupted. Anyone know what?

Our school district uses the web based version of Outlook Exchange. Several of us using Apple computers have had problems when sending word documents as attachments. When received, the document is full of garbled text. This has happened with different model computers, running 10.5.x or 10.6.x. I determined that removing the items from the folder in profiles (Users-> <user> ->Library->ApplicationSupport->Firefox->Profiles-><profile folder>) the problem is resolved. However, all preferences for Firefox are then lost. Does anyone know what specific item in the folder would cause this?

I think this is an excellent indicator that not only is Palm reviewing the feedback from the support forums here, but actively reviewing feedback/comments/wishes on other sites as well.
As the original poster copied this (quite solid, IMO) wishlist from Pre Central, the palm support staff acknowledged first seeing it there.

When I upgraded itunes, I lost my credit at the itunes store. Does anyone know how to retrieve it?

When I upgraded to the new itunes, I lost my credit I had in my account from an itunes gift card. Does anyone knoe how to retrieve it?

My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. If yours doesn't show (you've tried logging out and back into your account to see if it then shows ?), and you didn't have any pre-orders or auto-renewing subscriptions that might have used it, then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Emails always are suck in outbox when sent through Apple mail

Emails always are suck in outbox when sent through Apple mail. How should I deal with it ? Many thanks!

As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

My pictures are saying delivered when sent through iMessage but the person isn't actually getting them. How do I fix this?

My pictures are saying delivered when sent through iMessage but the person isn't actually getting them. How do I fix this?
My pictures send through iMessage only to certain people. And others the message is saying " delivered" but the person on the other end isn't getting any of my picture messages and sometimes regular iMessages with no pictures.

I was sure this curse was an Android feature since I had it constantly with my Nexus phones for the last two years, but sure enough it affects iOS8 too. Turn off wireless and and your MMS will go out fine over cellular ever time (in my experience anyway). Ridiculous, right?

Word document attachments garbled

When I try to send a Word document to users outside of my ISP they come through as "noname" This does not happen with TextEdit files or with pdf files. It also doe snot happen when sending attachments to other users in my ISP (Road Runner). The folks at Road Runner insist that I have a virus. I ran a virus scan with the most recent virus defs and nothing showed up. I repaired permissions and repaired the hard drive -- no problems found.I have tried using the extension, not using the extension, clicking to open, opening from within the application and it's always the same result. This is what appears at the top of the "noname" file (titled "test file" when sent):
--Apple-Mail-2-863040009
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Type: application/applefile;
name=test file
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="test file"
A string of letters, mostly A's
--Apple-Mail-2-863040009
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Id: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
x-mac-type=5738424E;
x-unix-mode=0644;
x-mac-creator=4D535744;
name=test file
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="test file"
More computer gibberish.
I can receive with no problem. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

"It's a virus" can sometimes be loosely translated as "I don't know."
It could easily be that the Word documents are getting stripped by intervening SMTP servers or firewalls, or by anti-spyware or anti-virus tools. Word documents are common mechanisms for transmitting malware and thus a common target for filtering; the whole family is a particularly hazardous form of file as it can easily contain executable code.
What you're showing are the MIME section headers of Base64 MIME-encoded mail. With the intervening text that comprises that part of the MIME message.
The "gibberish" is the message text or the attachment, encoded using Base64. (Base64 is a way to get binary or arbitrary data converted into printable data for transmission, since most mail systems only deal properly with printable characters.)
When you are sending the message (with Mail.app, I assume?), did you select the "Windows Friendly" option? You can set this Windows Friendly option on a per-message basis, or you can always select it via the (IIRC) Edit menu; to default it. It's generally safe to default it.
I'd also suggest having the receiver extract the text of the mail message for a look. (If that wasn't the headers from the receiver that you were showing.)
The MIME headers look to be missing the filename information, which could be the sending mail client, some filter or firewall, or something in the receiving software. A more typical header is:
--Apple-Mail-2--31415926535
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Type: application/applefile;
name="whatever.doc"
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="whatever.doc"
Have you tried sending the mail messages with another mail client? With Thunderbird, for instance.
And as a test, when you receive the message with the noname file, extract it as you would normally, and name the created file noname.doc, and try opening it using catdoc, NeoOffice, OOo, or whatever you're using to read that file format. (There seem to be a few tools around that will open .doc files.)

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write. Still, documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder on the server. Techies can't figure it out here. What am I not doing?

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

When I try to combine two pdf's, it asks for a permission password and says the documents are protected; however, I didn't put any protection/security in the documents. I assume it is a default security under the enhanced security settings of the Acrobat Pro XI which I recently purchased.

Acrobat (Pro or Standard) does not apply a "default" protection. It appears that someone or some other process has applied protection.

MY WORD DOCUMENTS ARE GONE....HOWW..HELPPP

HI, I CANT LOCATE MY WORD DOCUMENTS?? THEY HAVE DISSAPRERED... PLEASE HELP. THE ICON SAVED IS THERE , BUT WHENEVER I CLICK ON IT, IT SAYS WORD CANT LOCATE, PLEAE HELP

Greetings,
What happened right before they went missing? (software updates, "cleaning" up the computer, etc.)
Are your other files still there like music, movies, pictures, bookmarks, etc?
I'm sure you've already come to this conclusion yourself, you need a back up. Its easy to do with 10.5.8 and later: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553.
Try searching your account for any ".doc" files (Word documents) by going to File > Find and using the options below:
If you don't find any of the documents you are looking for in the search window and nothing else is missing then it would be wise to get a second opinion ASAP before any chance of data recovery is lost.
Make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store (they don't do data recovery but may be able to see something we can't see from here) or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider to see if they can look around the hard drive for you.
If the second opinion reveals that the data is really gone off the entire computer then you will need data recovery software or service:
Data recovery software requires you have a separate hard drive so you'll need to buy one first. Data recovery software examples:

All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address. If so just check off your phone number and try that.

A 6 and a 6 Plus with seperate phone numbers are receiving txts sent to only one number. They share the same iTunes acct. Is this the problem?

Hmm... Just found out the 6 and 6 Plus were updated to 8.1.1 today. Coincidently, that's when this started.
Another thing is both phones ring and you can answer either one, or both. fwding is not selected.
Thanks Kilted Tim.

disaster, thanks firefox 1 year of photos lost

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.
