Answer 1

tell your sister to put them in zip files

Answer 2

It depends how big the attachment is. If you use msn. It only holds 10 MG. On Yahoo it's also 10 MG. you can send pictures but Videos I'm not sure about. I tried attaching one of my videos but it was 18.88 MG You can always check the size on your folder in My Computer. If your checking your video file make sure your view is set to Thumbnails. Then hover your mouse over the video for at least 5 seconds and you'll see a small box by your cursor and that's where you'll see how big the size of the file is.

Ask Your Sister if she is using Movie Maker ( windows ) If she is then she probely diddn't save the video/music/etc. as a movie file. On windows media player. If it only comes up as a black screen that may be the problem. Look under " capture video " and select import music/video/picture whatever your sister sent to you. Select the things you sister sent to you, highlight all of the music clips by clicking and dragging your cursor and then let go of clicking. then click ok. When you did all that you can just drag your music into the little boxes where the video/pics go. Make sure you put them in order. Listen to the song to see if you did.
When you are finished editing your video save it then click file and click save as movie file. open the file you saved in media player. Then watch it.

Or ask your sister to do what I told you.

Answer 3

you would think that files would be simple. But there is always someone out there wanting you to use there software or part with some money.
it could be that the files are mpg4 or something then you will need itunes software; wmp and you will need media player. She may have downloaded them and the files are protected so they cant be shared! there are many reasons but usually there is a way around it. usually it is by converting from one file type to another.
where possible i always stick to mp3 this is a broad range format that almost everything plays.

Answer 4

you may connect an MP3 report on your digital mail. once you've a standalone digital mail software (alongside with Outlook) you may merely drop it in to the message. once you've information superhighway-depending digital mail (alongside with Yahoo) you opt for to connect it manually. The report must be freed from digital rights administration (DRM). operating example, in case you purchase a music from ITunes and deliver it to someone by skill of digital mail, they couldn't play it. although, in case you purchase an audio CD, and rip the CD to MP3s utilising a software alongside with Nero, you'd be in a position to mail those MP3s on your buddy via attaching them to an digital mail.

Answer 5

try to open it with other programs like itunes
