Issues on Play WMV on iPad

  • Got a .WMV file in my mail that I can play on my iMac with Quick Time but on the iPad I get the message "Mail cannot open this attachment"...so what can I do?????
  • I am a nursing student and am required to view some videos for my classes. The videos are in .WMV format and are not playing on my iPad. What should I do?
  • Does anyone can help me solve how to be able to play wmv files that I receive through my email with ipad 2?
  • I wonder if anyone can advise the best way to watch .avi files on the iPad. My iPad 2 cannot open WMV files attached to my e-mail.
  • On my new iPad, when I opened an email in Mail, it had a .wmv attachment. I double clicked it hoping it would play but instead it said "open in Airplay" which is one of my apps for cloud storage. So how can I play a .wmv file on the iPad?
