  • When i try download a file from the internet it looks like its downloading then when i go to open this file it opens up in the app text edit and says it cannot open i DOS mode? Can anyne help?

    when i try to download a file from the internet it starts to download but when its finished it opens up in the app "text edit" and it says this file cannot open in DOS mode.
    Can anyone help?

    It sounds like perhaps the file doesn't have an extension that the system recognizes. Is this all files, or just one specific one, and if so, which? What is the name (and extension, if it has one) of the downloaded file? What kind of file do you *expect* it to be? (PDF, or whatever). Renaming a file with the appropriate extension can often fix that kind of problem.

    reset IE settings to defaults and turn on smart screen filter.
    Control panel, internet options, advanced, restore advanced settings, apply.
    If that does not take care of it reset all settings to defaults:
    Control panel, internet options, advanced, reset.
    Then select tools from your toolbar, smart screen filter, turn on smart screen filter.

  • Issues opening downloaded docx files from the internet on my mac air...

    I have owned my Mac Air for nearly 1.5 yrs and never had an issue, until yestrday.
    I can download docx files from the internet no problem, but when I go to open them (after they have saved into my downloads folder) a pop-up window with "convert file from" appears? Alas I can not open any downloaded docx files from the internet/email etc! This is making work very difficult.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    that explains a lot, you didnt mention that critical part before.  I upload a lot to FTP sites as well
    originals fine.... but thru the server theyre corrupted, .....that narrows everything down.
    have you contacted sys admin for the server about this?

  • How to download aperture 3 from the internet

    After a crash intalling maverick, I lost Aperture. My Mac Book Pro CD drive was replaced with memory so I need to download from the internet instead of from the disc.
    Thanks

    The only download of stand-alone Aperture installers that Apple offers currenty is from the AppStore. But to be able to restore from the AppStore for free, you need to at least install the Aperture version from your installer CD. Or restore the version from your crashed disk from your backup, if your backup included the Applications folder.
    Do you still have the Aperture 3 installer disk and serial number?  Then find someone who owns a computer with a CD drive and clone the Aperture installer to a thumbs drive or write a disk image to a portable drive. Then you can reinstall Aperture 3.1 from the thumbs drive and then directly upgrade to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page. This will let you run Aperture on Mavericks, so you can enter your registration code. Aperture 3.1 from your installer media cannot be executed on Mavericks, but its presence in the Applications folder will be sufficient to let you upgrade from the Support page to Aperture 3.4.5.
    After that, you can upgrade to 3.5 from the AppStore, to have the current Mavericks compatible version.
    If someone in your household owns a mac with a CD drive, you could try to use their CD drive remotely with CD Sharing.

  • How to download a file from Oracle UCM using OSB

    Hi,
    How can I download a file from Oracle UCM and save it on a filesystem using OSB 11.1.1.5.
    Thanks

    UCM supplies webservice interfaces which let you retrieve the filecontent by soap calls from UCM (http://ucmhost/_dav/cs/idcplg for example). (maybe you should enable some settings on ucm to have this webservice interface getting published).
    This services for example has 2 operations getFileByID and getFileByName.
    So you can just call these services from within OSB.
    After that you need to do some tests if you eitherway need to create a file-transport business-service and call this one from your proxy service or create a messageType proxyservice (binary)  which calls this file-transport business service to be able to write fo filesystem.
    I think for the OSB book i used a jca file adapter generated in Jdeveloper and used that one to write to filesystem.

    Hi!
    Your question is marked as a Firefox OS question which is Mozilla's own mobile operating system. Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support!

  • I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

    Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
    When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • How can I download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server?

    I am trying to download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server. I've tried doing it with Datasocket as suggested in these articles,
    <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/f3cc5f7e60a75cb2862567e700696abf?opendocument">Retrieving an Unformatted Text File via FTP or HTTP Using DataSocket</a>
    <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/4FA09E7B3674DA34C1256BD400555C41?OpenDocument">Download a Text File from a Password Protected URL Using DataSocket</a>
    but all I get is error 1181 (protocol unrecognized by Datasocket).
    I know I have the URL correct, because I can put it into a web browser and it works fine - I can download the file manually.
    But I want to have a LabVIEW program do the download automatically.
    I have the internet toolkit, but don't have the foggiest clue how to use it, and am using LabVIEW 7.1
    I am a bit out of my depth here, so any advice welcome.
    Regards,
    Mark.

    MIG,
    What is the URL to the website? Is it an FTP site? The articles you referenced are for specific transfer protocols. If the stie you're trying to get to doesn't follow these protocols, then you'll get the error you're seeing. You may have to use ActiveX to control IE and download the files programmatically.

  • Why doesn't apple allow you to download files from the internet like how android users can?

    I was using a friend's android phone yesterday and saw that he could download files a wide variety of files from the internet and that made me wonder why Apple doesn't allow iPhone users to download files like the ones you could on an android device

    To keep the sort of malware rather prevalent for Android devices off of your iPhone. Depending on what you need to download, though, you can probably find a third-party app that will do it. Since such apps keep their documents in their own sandbox, it helps protect the iPhone from being infected by malicious "documents".
