Word saving documents as binary files- can't send documents as attachments

I've had my Macbook for about 9 months. During the first 6 months, I could send attachments via email perfectly fine. After about 6 months, something happened and the files could no longer be opened after being attached. I tried sending some attachments to myself and found out that the documents were being sent as binary files.
I also backed up my documents onto an external hard drive. When I opened the documents on a Windows computer, the Word documents that I created during the first 6 months could be opened. However, the most recently created documents couldn't be opened by my computer.
I decided to do an erase and install on Saturday. Afterwards, Word was working fine and I was able to send documents as attachments. This morning (Tuesday) I tried to send attachments again and it didn't work! Again, the documents were binary files.
I'm not sure what to do because it was working fine for three days, but now it's not working anymore. I think something must have happened during those three days that corrupted my computer?
Has anyone had a similar problem? Can anyone help?
Sorry I know it was a long post but I wanted to give more information in case it would give some clues. I feel I should add that I've been having quite a few problems with my Macbook, e.g. screen freezing, DMGs not loading properly, getting some pop ups

Also wanted to add that I've had my logicboard replaced recently because of problems such as freezing, so I don't think it should be a hardware problem.

Since Word is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility between Macs and Windows.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you

When I do a download, it is saved to a Binary File. Where are these files stored & how do you uninstall a program you don't want to keep ?

I use firefox, when I download a file from another website, there is a pop-up that shows the name of the download, which shows it is saved to a binary file, (don't know what a binary file is) but my question is where are the binary files stored on my computer & if I can uninstall it if I don't want to keep it.

Every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

Here is a simple fix I found that worked for me.
1) Clear your download history
2) Go to Options > Options > General Tab: Change your download location to something other than what you currently have it set at. Apply the changes.
3) Go back into the Options and change it back to what it was or whatever you want it to be.
You should be all set from there.

Receiving mail, but can't send mail with attachments?

Hello,
I can't send mails anymore, I have been able to send some without any attachments (i.e. reply doesn't work as it automatically attaches the original text). This started 3 days ago. Also, my mail doesn't seem to recognize powerpoint and word docs., but I a know the people who have send me such files do not have VISTA. When I choose "open with" then it works. So I have 2 problems, one being moe urgent then the other.
1) can't send mail with attachments
2) .doc (word), .pps (powerpoint)attachments are not always recognized.
thank you all!!!

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

Saving ResultList as binary file

Hi,
I like to store my ResultList as binary on file drive. The aim is to safe drive space and execution time for creating the report (XML or ASCII) for each UUT.
At the moment i had nothing figured out doing such stuff in TS.
Thats the reason why I started this thread to discuss with you what is possible or impossible.
Do not care about the programming language. LV,CVI,C++,C# or anything else is welcome.
My idea sounds simple
1.) Creating : Take the address space of the ResultList and save it to disk. Problem: Size of Buffer !!
2.) Consuming: Take the Binary file and put it back to TS and let a the TestReport (XML, ASCII or whatever you want) Callback running.

Hi Johann,
Thanks for your answer. But unfortunately it pointed not out what I really want to know. Or lets say what i want to discuss.
The major task is: Is there a way to safe a the complete ResultList (if you take a look into the TestReport-Callback it will be variable "Parameters.MainSequenceResults") as a binary-file without any modifiactions or generator/parser stuff.
The first aim of this procedure should be no loss of data by saving huge number of file drive space. The Second is saving execution time for generating the report file in the Testreport callback.
The last few "lunch-breaks" I have dealed with this question to figure out a useful solution.
I have found several things in TS4.0 that deal with this topic the serialization of data
One the one hand there is a Engine method "SerializeObjects" . I got this running (I hoped so) for binary data but for re-building
just for visualizing the data to an Operator. I found no running solution. On the other hand there is PropertyObject method
"Serialize" This stuff was working fine. But data always have been stored in INI-Format on file. So there was no great benefit
on file size.
While looking on the TS4.0 poster on the wall i was focused on PropertyObjectFile. And with it found a resonable solution for this task. It is simple. Create a PropertyObjectFile, do some settings like binary and path, get the parent PropertyObject from it, and ceate a new varaiable in the data folder. Now take the ResultList, clone and add it to your variable. The last step is saving.
A comparsion to the XML-Report (shipped with NI)
Binary <--> XML
Filesize: 23 kB <--> 2202 kB that is a reduction of filedrive space of over 95% !!!
Executiontime 160ms <--> 1960ms that means i have to spent only 8% of time as in XML
I have attached an example. It writes the report on Root C:\report.dat
For you and all other members feel free to test it and please tell me what you think about it.
If there is an other solution so lets discuss it.
Greetings

Can't send documents created in pages and exported in windows word format

Created a document in Pages then exported them into a Windows Word format to my desktop then opened Mail and attached the document to Mail. Whenever I hit the send button I get an error message: "syntax argument error." My ISP is yahoo. They researched the problem and stated it has to be a Mail problem. Anyone out there had this problem? How did you rectify it?
Thanks anything will help...

Does sound like a mail problem. You could try right clicking on the file & create archive of ... This will create a zip file. Try sending the zip file.
Do you have another account? Try that.
Try another mail program like thunderbird.

Can you do document compare in pages, can you do document compare in pages

In that "other" word processing program, you can do a document compare to see how the documents differ. I have not found how to do that in Pages. Is it possible?

No, it's not funny !
It's really boring to see titles with questions repeated two, three or even four times.
Is it so difficult to take care of what you type ?

Can't send document to Apple Mail after upgrading to Maverick

Hello,
When I in iWork '09 try to send a document to Apple Mail as an attachment, I get an error message that says "iWork encountered an error while attempting to create the attachment data", I get the same message wether I select "Pages", "Word" or "PDF".
I get the same message in Pages and in Numbers. It started after I upgraded to Maverick.
I copied this from the console:
2014-05-11 19:37:27,587 Pages[234]: -[NSFileWrapper setContentID:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xc74d4c0
2014-05-11 19:37:27,587 Pages[234]: Caught the following exception while trying to send to mail.

Help would be appreciated.

Hello Fruhilda!
It seems that my problem is resolved. My version was 4.1 and App Store didn't show any updates. But after som searching I found out that there was an iWork 9.3 update which I downloaded and installed. After the update the version was 4.3 and I was able to send documents to Apple Mail.

Opened a draft that had been saved, edited it, and now can neither send, nor delete, nor close that message. Mail program stuck there. Any idea how to get it "unstuck?"

In mail, on my iPad 2, I opened a draft message that had been saved. I edited it and want to send it. The Send and Cancel bottons are both grayed out. I can't send it, nor cancel it, nor get out of that message. Please help.

Charlie-
First I would select the contents of the message and copy it to the clipboard.
Click your Home button to get out of Mail. Then double-click the Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Mail icon. Press and hold on it until it starts to wiggle. A red minus sign will appear on each of the icons. Press the minus sign to remove Mail from the list. This should also un-hang it.
If successful, Mail should work normally, and you should be able to paste the clipboard to another new message.
If not successful, you can try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.

How many files can i send

Having been forced from SendNow to Send, is there a way around the 50 file limit?

Hi dporterphotography,
Please see this forum thread: Re: Is there any way around the limit of 50 files in Adobe Send?
One way around this limit is to zip up your files and send them in batches.
Best,

Can't send document attachments from Mail to iPhone

...well I can but not very well.... When using Gmail IMAP to sync everything, document attachments sent from Mac Mail to iPhone mail arrive as a bit of mess.. i.e. not as attachments but as text within the email itself, plus lots of garbled numbers and letters. Strange because if I send the same message from the iPhone back to itself or from webmail-Gmail it works fine. Its also just fine with photos and Pdf's. Help!

No, sorry. false alarm.
I just received a message, sent by Apple Mail 2.1.2 from OS 10.4.11, through POP, to an email-forwarding address, to my imap-gmail, and received from there (by IMAP) with Mail 2.1.2, too.
Details of what got garbled below, just to say that sending the email not to the forwarding address but directly to [email protected] did not help either.
the email was constructed like so:
- some text, readable.
- an attached PDF, space characters in name. this entire pdf was just printed in the email, meaning the postscript code and what have you.
- some more text, that was still readable
- an attached image that was probably pasted into the email, the name was "pastedGraphic.png". The image survived.
- text, readable.
- another PDF, raw contents printed into email body.
- a zip file, spaces in name, made with the built-in archive maker of Tiger. Also here, the entire 'source code' of the zip is printed in the body copy.
- some final bits of text. readable.
On another computer, this email was not routed through a gmail account and was received by POP. not a single problem there. In fact, not ever.
This is not very cool

Can't send documents with Web Intelligence anymore

CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
Hi everybody,
I'm implementing BO XI R2 SP2. The installation is OK, but when I import the repository from BO 6.5, I cannot send any document with Web Intelligence. I found the following message in the log files :
assert failure: (.\wireob.cpp:667). (false : Error: Wrong number of parameters in URL ).
Can somebody help me?
Thanks.

The error is just an assert that gets thrown into our log files but likely has nothing to do with the issue. I'd suspect either import wizard workflow or maybe permissions? You will likely need to verify the workflow with BO-support and/or trace some of the processes to see where the problem is occurring.
Did you migrate security?

How can I send document folders to someone?

My gfriend has never created one folder for her Documents. I have a lot that would be useful for her. Does she have to create them one-by-one on her Mac, or can I somehow create them for her to import? PS I do not want to send the contents of my folders, just the shell.

Give her a list and let her create them on her own.
