Safari 4.0.3  download "sa.aspx" files automatically

After upgraded to the new Safari v4.0.3, when load in some sites, they'll always download some "sa.aspx" files automatically, one reloads(refresh) one downloads, like "sa.aspx, sa-1.aspx, sa-2.aspx....", that's real big fat trouble!!!
Safari 4.0.2 and firefox has no same trouble, and I never seen that before.

JT--
This is a recent and known problem with Safari.
They are working on a fix.
In the meanwhile, just trash those files.

  • Why do pdf files from some web sites download as aspx files, which I can't open from Firefox but I can in Internet Explorer?

    I have tried downloading files which are supposed to be pdf but they download as aspx files. This doesn't happen if I use Internet Explorer and other pdfs from the same web site download without a problem.

    To make a long story short, the server can send a preferred file name but isn't always programmed to do so. IE sniffs the beginning of the file and may override what is sent by the server; Firefox does not.
    You can manually change the file extension when you save it (if you have Firefox set to ask you where to save) or you can rename it after it is saved.

  • Firefox 25 downloads aspx files instead of serving up sites thru Google search

    I used android 4.1.2 and just installed Firefox. when I attempt to connect to a website through a Google search link it downloads an aspx file which will not open. entering an address in the window works fine.

    That won't help, Waka.
    I would need to know what exact site is causing the issue to be sure. The likely cause of this is the site using an incorrect mime type such as a wap one when they actually serve html content.

  • .aspx files associated with wordpad. Can't find in options/applications to switch to Acrobat Reader.

    At some point, I went to download a .aspx file and mistakenly set WordPad as the application to use to open this file type. It was a bad choice. Neither WordPad nor the .aspx file type show in the list on the Options/Applications widow to change it.
    I'd really like to not have to use IE everytime I need to download and view a .aspx file.
    Suggestions?

    You can rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

  • Everytime I open Safari it downloads a series of blank.aspx files into my downloads folder. Anyone having the same problem?

    Everytime I open Safari it downloads a series of blank.aspx files into my downloads folder. Anyone having the same problem?

    Has there been a fix for this yet?  I am downloading close to 150 blank aspx files every 15 minutes.  I have tried the fix from Carolyn Samit and the AdBlock seems to be working thus far, but when it is not working it launches Adobe Dreamweaver.  Which is going berzerker.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks to all on this community.

  • My mac downloads aspx files when i browse?

    Hi,
    When I browse certain pages on the internet, Safari downloads .aspx files to my default download destination .. any idea why? These files are annoying as they accumulate and I have to delete them every time I surf ..

    Lots of information on aspx files here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET
    ASP.NET pages, known officially as "web forms", are the main building block for application development.[8] Web forms are contained in files with an ASPX extension; in programming jargon, these files typically contain static (X)HTML markup, as well as markup defining server-side Web Controls and User Controls where the developers place all the required static and dynamic content for the web page. Additionally, dynamic code which runs on the server can be placed in a page within a block <% -- dynamic code -- %> which is similar to other web development technologies such as PHP, JSP, and ASP, but this practice is generally discouraged except for the purposes of data binding since it requires more calls when rendering the page.
    Another gift from Microsoft!

  • Safari 3 quits as soon as I download a .pdf file

    I've just downloaded the Beta of Safari 3, running on my 12" Powerbook (10.4.10, 1.25Gb RAM, 1.5GHz processor). Now, whenever I try to download a .pdf file from any site, the browser crashes without warning or error message.
    Three questions:
    1. Anyone else having the same problem?
    2. Anyone got an answer to it?
    and, assuming the answer to (2) is 'no',
    3. How do I re-install the latest version of Safari before the Beta 3?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Right - apologies for posting the wrong forum for a start... Should have looked around and spotted the Beta forum.
    Secondly, problem now solved:
    Moved the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" from HD>Library>Internet PlugIns to
    HD>Library>Internet PlugIns>Disabled PlugIns

  • How do you stop Safari from removing last download when it's of the same file type? (e.g., when I download a new pps file I can no longer open a pps file that I've just downloaded)

    When I download a .pps file, I can open it from the downloads and everything is great. But if I try to download another one, then I can no longer access the previous download from the download bar. This is very annoying to me as I download and open dozens of these files every day. Is there some way that I can display all the files in the download bar and not just the last file downloaded of a certain type (a way to get Safari to stop hiding the .pps files)

    To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
    In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
    I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
    In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
    Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
    That's it. Does it work on Facebook?
    ''The about:config preferences editor in the mobile version is similar in principle to the desktop version but many of the preferences available on the desktop version have no effect in mobile. This one I only tested on one site, but it seems to work.''

  • How do I setup automatic download of PDF files in Safari?

    Previously whenever I clicked on a pdf link it would automatically download the file and place it in my downloads folder, now I have to manually save each pdf file in a safari window to my downloads folder assigning it a name. When I would download credit card statements, as an example. the statements would automatically download and be placed in my downloads folder and be assigned a progressive name like "statement1", "statement2", etc. But now it's so frustrating that files don't automatically download, and that I manually have to save each one and assign it a name. If you have any suggestions to help, I'd greatlly appreciate it!

    pjmetz: You say "tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect." What effect did these changes produce? I am sure they didn't leave things as they were, did they? If they did, and Adobe Reader is strong-arming its way to causing all PDF files to download, try removing Reader and give it a test with no Reader-assist. Oh, I'm not trying to get you to give up on Reader. You can copy Reader to an ext. HDD for safe-keeping, and then trash it from the internal HDD, and empty the trash. Then test Safari. If Safari works correctly without Reader, get your answer from Adobe.com
    maxintaft: PDF files cannot be editied easily even on your HDD, mush less in a browser window. Whatever it is you are typing in (or have been typing in previously), it is not a PDF file, so your issue needs a new question, or contact the school site webmaster for help.

  • Safari 4.0.3 crashes when downloading a .PDF file

    Whenever we try to download a .PDf file, Safari crashes with this error. "The application Safari quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the Acrobat Plug-in."
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Greetings,
    Are you trying to download a PDF file, or open one in Safari? There's a difference, so you need to be clear as to what you're really doing.
    For the sake of argument, I'll assume you're trying to open a PDF file in Safari. In that case, the problem is the Acrobat Reader and it's plugin. You don't need either one, because Safari is perfectly capable of rendering PDF files all by itself, and faster than Adobe Reader.
    You should use something like AppDelete to remove Adobe Reader and it's plugin entirely, then restart Safari and try opening a PDF file. You should have no problem.

  • All files download INSIDE a Safari tab - not in Downloads window

    One of my several Macs has now developed a very annoying problem. Anytime I click on any weblink that links to a file (say, a ZIP), that ZIP doesn't auto-open in Safari's Downloads window. Instead, Safari opens a new tab and tries to download it in a dark gray window, but never completes downloading the file. See the linked screenshot.
    http://www.daviddas.com/clients/safariproblem.png
    I can't figure out how to fix it. Any help? (Note: if I copy the URL to the clipboard, open a new tab, and hit option-return, I can successfully force Safari to download it. However this is a tedious workaround every time I want to download a file, and it doesn't work when a more complex PHP app is not giving me the file's true URL.)

    HI,
    Go to Safari/Preferences and click the General tab.
    If you have the Safari preference "Open 'safe' files after downloading" selected, and Safari considered that a downloaded file was safe:
    *Safari will automatically open the file after it's downloaded.*
    *If the downloaded file is an archive (.zip file), Safari will decompress it.*
    *If the downloaded file is a disk image (.img file), Safari will mount the image volume.*
    *If Download Validation cannot determine that a downloaded file is safe, it will be stored in your default download directory just as if the "Open 'safe' files after downloading" preference was disabled.*
    If Download Validation determines that a downloaded file is unsafe, you will be asked if you wish to download or cancel. If you download the file, it will be placed in your download location, as configured in Safari preferences. If you cancel, it will be saved as a web download in your download location, as configured by Safari preferences. It will be named the same as the original file with ".download" at the end of it. This can be moved to the Trash.

  • Safari adding .hqx to downloaded file name

    I am on an imac with mac os x 10.4.11 and safari 3.0.4. I download a mac cd image file with filename of the form x.y.z.iso. safari downloads it but, mysteriously, adds .hqx to the name so it stores on my mac as x.y.z.iso.hqx. Then it tries to unstuff it and says it is not an encoded file. Of course it is not. It is a volume image. if i rename the downloaded file to x.y.z.iso and double click on it, it brings up the volume just fine on my desktop and I can open it.
    Does anyone know why Safari would decide to add .hqx to a file name on download?

    I think you are in essence describing what is happening, except for how I got there. In our infinite wisdom in taking this original file, we set up the download with some file type info or some such that we figured Mac would like better. It messed it up. that is why I could never figure out why a file destined as a WINDOWS iso image never was mishandled by Safari. it downloaded it and even produced a volume entry when opened, on the mac desktop.
    once we stopped messing with the mac image file and just downloaded it as it came, Safari downloaded it correctly and did not add .hqx to it. thanks.

  • Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)?

    Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)?  I updated last night and ever since, these files download as soon as I launch Safari.

    I've gotten these from multiple web sites, including Drudge and National Journal.
    It is my opinion that this behavior is a side effect of the latest Java update. Until this latest update, Apple has maintained its own version of Java. The latest update is Oracle Java.
    Apple's note on the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 11 includes this:
    On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate. 
    Looking at the innards of one file downloaded, it appears to be a JavaScript beacon from advertising.com for rubiconproject.com. These files are used to track web browsing activity. I suspect that this Java changed the way the beacon is served and Safari.

  • When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls

    When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls
    If I rename the file, it opens just fine, if I don't it opens all in one column.
    I had found a fix on my old macbook, but just got a new MBP and it's happening again.
    Can't remember or find where the fix is.
    Thanks!

    Safari: Downloaded file's filename may have an additional extension

    That's from June 11, 2007!
    Working from my defective memory, this happened to me, but stopped if I unchecked 'Open safe files after downloading' in Safari Preferences/General.
    At least I think that's how I stopped it - it hasn't happened since!
