Download fails if initiating page is closed - What next?

Clicking on a download link starts download, but --
If I close the window with the download link, the download fails with "can't read source".
If the download link opens a temporary window, the download fails with the same error.
This is repeatable and happens on any site. Does not happen with Safari.
What troubleshooting steps should I follow?

I suggest you ask on the snow leopard server forum

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • Firefox refuses to show downloaded font on initial page

    The first of the following web sites is a hand written web site and the next is a WordPress blog:
    http://www.lovatasinhala.com
    http://www.ahangama.com
    They both use a downloaded Open Type font. It is a Singhala smartfont. (The first and only smartfont for any written language).
    Firefox 3.0 is the first browser that displayed the ligatures in the font according to Open Type. Since of late, when you use Firefox to go to these sites, the pages are shown in the default font (Arial). The author specified font is not shown even after the page is refreshed. However, if you click another menu (or a blog page), the font shows.
    I tested these pages in Safari, Chrome/Chromium, Arora, Opera and IE. All of them display the font as soon as you call up the web site except, of course, IE that does not understand Open Type.
    In 2006, there was a unfounded fear that rendering thousands of ligatures would grind the computer to a halt. It was due to a misunderstanding of how an Open Type font is processed. Later, the Bugzilla engineers of Mozilla tested this issue and found that the difference between rendering a non-ligatured font and my font is 2%, which I think is within the margin of error.
    I think the old legend has entered the minds of the Mozilla engineers.
    Please fix this problem as Firefox is by far the most popular browser in South Asia among users of Windows XP and Linux, and this solution for complex scripts is the only way Indic languages could be elevated to same level as European languages that use the Latin script.
    Thanks.

    cor-el,
    Thank you for trying to help.
    I do not understand what you expect me to see after doing Ctrl+Shift+K. What I get is a blank area and a prompt to type something just below it
    I tested V9 in my Puppy Linux machine and it showed the page as expected using the smartfont. The problem is in Windows XP and 7. In both of those, the page is shown as Romanized Singhala. If you try to refresh the page, it does not switch to the font that is already downloaded in the background. Only way to trigger it to show the Singhala font is to click on another menu and come back.
    Please see the two screenshots sent. They are of the identical page, but in two different fonts. One is in Romanized Singhala because it is displayed in the default Latin font. The other one is in the downloaded Singhala script.
    All other browsers (not IE) wait for the font to finish downloading to display the page in that font. This is the behavior of V3.6. Now it shows the default font forgetting the downloaded font. This may be due to a misconception regarding display delay.

  • When the initial page is closed and new tab is opened. How can I get back my google dropdown with previous searches.

Its gives you a dropdown window with previous searches. When the google toolbar is on, if you click on a new search. It does give a google search text box, but the downdrop searches previously done is blank or no entry on the dropdown. Before once you click the new google search, the dropdown window is populated with previous searches. Its important for me to see previous searches I did. I hope you can help me. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Shurthg.

  • Win 10 home fail to install several times. What next?

    Windows 10 home update is listed as failed several times.  Why, What's wrong, and can I fix it?

    It is possible that you had corrupt or missing install files. Were there any compatibility issues noted before you attempted the upgrade? Be sure you have your Windows key on hand, if required and go to this site, option 3 or 4 should do it:http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2267-windows-10-upgrade-installation.html#step3 

  • TS1550 "Partition failed - couldn't unmount disk"? what next?

    While trying to "fix" TimeMachine backup "failing" -- researched "Help" and followed the "disk utility" /partition=1/GUID/apply & got above message -- have no idea what to try next.  Time Machine has periodically been popping up with "Failed" for about 2 weeks now.  This happened once before (maybe 1 year or 18 months ago), but the aforementioned "fix" worked that time?  Where do I go now?

  • Disc Volume failed, not repaired by Disc Utilities: What Next?

    I have a Mac Mini 1.6GHz, Intel Core Duo. Currently running OSX 10.4.11. Hard drive was defragged and when I checked Disc Utility function, it found one invalid node and volume failure. Utility could not repair. I used my Tech Tool Pro and this did not work either. After booting from external drive and running TechTool Pro Volume diagnosis on the Mac drive, Mac drive crashed. No repair. I wanted to upgrade my OS from 10.4 to 10.5, but it is not working. I assume there is a relationship. Other than this, no problems with computer. What can I do?

    I just worked on a mac mini that had the exact same problem.
    I was able to fix it using Disk Warrior......took 5 days of continuous scanning I was able to get most of the data back for the user.
    It's an expensive piece of software, but it did it's job.

  • Created PHP site and Dynamic Pages. So what next?

    Hey guys,
    So i have created a site. It is a simple Car Dismantlers site with 4 pages in a front end section for visitors to the site. The pages are index.php, contact.php, search.php and directions.php. I have a back end section in an admin folder where an administrator can add, update and delete records from a database which is password protected. The whole site is working fine locally but now i want to upload it and dont know where to start. I have domain name set up with Lime Domains, it is PHP and MySql ready. This is the first php site i have created and I dont really know where to start to get it up and running now.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey J.S,
    Do you think its a bad idea to have Database admin over them web? How could i make my db admin into a program to run on a certain computer. i.e on the car breaker yard where there is no dreamweaver.
    Thanks J.S

  • Tiger installation fails despite the advice found here--what next?

    Greetings mac wizards--please advise me!
    I've been trying to upgrade my i-mac from the Tiger disc that came with my i-book. (Sales rep told me this was legal and would work.)
    Recurring message is "this software cannot be installed on this computer," despite having held the C key during restart, run disk utility repairs, removed plug ins, removed memory card.
    Also tried installing "bundled software only" but got error message "bill of material for this package was not found."
    Me thinks something is very wrong--perhaps this is not okay and rigged not to work?
    Extended utility for my beloved i-mac is in your hands!

    What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
    Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
    If you don't want to wait for Leopard 10.5.x to be released, and your iMac meets the Tiger System Requirements, Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, AppleRescue, etc.
    As posted, be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
    Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media."
    AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.

  • What can I do? Every "iPhoto Library Upgrader" I've downloaded fails to prepare the my iPhoto Library, so I can't open iPhoto any more.

    What can I do? Every time I download & run "iPhoto Library Upgrader" it fails to "prepare" the my iPhoto Library, so I can't open iPhoto any more. 
    (My MacOS & iPhoto are the latest versions.) 
    Ever since my last upgrades, every time I try to open iPhoto, a Alert box pops up saying, "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader", and it gives 2 options: a "Learn More" button or "Quit" (iPhoto) button. The "Learn More" button links to Apple's "iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader" page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037), but whenever I then download and run that page's linked app, the same thing happens all over again. 
    It does no good to rebuild the iPhoto Library (holding down the command & option keys while reopening iPhoto): the same thing happens. 
    It does no good to use iPhoto Library Manager (http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/) to rebuild the iPhoto Library, as was suggested elsewhere: the same thing happens.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards

  • I got message "OS X Yosemite failed to download" "Use the Purchases page to try again."

    i got message "OS X Yosemite failed to download" "Use the Purchases page to try again." when i download OS X Yosemite
    i got this message when i downloaded 869.7MB and i can't download more than that
    what should i do??

    This seems to be working for me. VPN using https://www.getcloak.com/ - 30 day free trial. Crossing my fingers since the download isn't done yet.
    I had a hunch that my ISP was the culprit. I cannot download anything from the appstore that had more than 1 gig filesize. Xcode, mavericks, yosemite. They would all stop and give the "failed to download....use purchase page..." error the moment the appstore starts downloading.
    None of the changing DNS, emptying of cache, on/off appstore, or restarting worked.
    I'm on an iMac, Maverick.

  • Hi, We have an application  built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1. When we try to download a file(.pvw file) in that application safari throws "Download failed" error. Please suggest what needs to be done.

    Hi,
    We have an application  built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1.
    When a file url is clicked instead of asking for Save or Open or Cancel options, the file gets opened on IPad by default.
    Is this default behaviour which cannot be changed or can it be configured to ask user preference?
    When we try to download a file(.pvw file -> a model file) in the above application, safari throws "Download failed" error.
    Please suggest what needs to be done.
    Regards,
    Pramod

    Safari on an iPad in general does not allow downloading of files. That's a safety precaution in the iOS SDK to keep unauthorized content off of iOS devices. Safari will open from the web site file types that it can handle, but direct downloading isn't normal behavior, and I don't believe the behavior can be changed, though you can try asking in the developer forum, either here or the one to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.
    Regards.
