Safari Download links not working, opening new page

Hi, I am not to happy with the latest version of Safari, and it has made one problem worse. When I click on a download link, more often than not, instead of getting a file to download, it opens a new page and appears to be loading the file as raw code. I will see in the location bar at the top something like:
download.php or FileName.zip, and it cycles a while until the full file is loaded but does not show anything by a blank page... Before this version I could right click and choose save linked file As and it would usually work, but now that doesn't work.
Anyone else seeing this problem or have a solution?
I have speed downloader but I have it turned off for sites that were problematic, but Safari doesn' seem to use it anyway, because when it works, it opens a Safari download window, not SD
Thanks
Jeff

Quit Safari if it's running. Move the file
Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
in your home folder to the Desktop. Test again. If downloading now works as expected, then that's where the problem lies. Otherwise, it's still somewhere in your Safari settings, but I wouldn't know where. You'd have to ask the "Speed Downloader" developer what to do next.

If this is still a problem for you, please describe the issue you're experiencing.

CD installation disk download link not working

I'm trying to download the CD installation disk for the WRT400N. The disk came with the router
but the glue on the label got on the disk and makes it almost unreadable.
Can someone check that link to see why the .iso file is only a couple of bits in size? Should be @400mb.
Thanks

Yes, it can be configured without the disk, I realize that. This is my first experience with routers and wi-fi, so I would like a better copy of this disk I paid for. But the link for that download does not work. I was addressing that.
The disk I got had a dot of glue from the label on it and while it worked, it took almost half an hour to get it done.
Part of the disk is unreadable when I tried to copy it, so I want to download the .iso file to create a backup disk.
That's it!

Download link not working in Adobe AIR app.

I wanted to let users browse my site as a desktop application,
but didn't have the time to write an application from scratch. SO tried following trick. Created a simple Adobe AIR application with a single page. This page redirects to my website and hence loads the website in the AIR window.
Everything is working fine except that the download links are not working. The download doesn't start. Nothing happens. What is the solution here? Any help is appreciated.

I am now facing the same problem. I wrote a servlet .
code like this
         response = (HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
         response.setContentType("application/x-download");
         String agent = request.getHeader("USER-AGENT");
         boolean isIE=false;
        if (null != agent && agent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1) {
            isIE=true;
        if (isIE) {
            fileName = URLEncoder.encode(fileName, "UTF-8");
        } else {
            fileName = new String(fileName.getBytes("utf-8"), "ISO-8859-1");
        response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename="+fileName);
        ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
        byte b[]=new byte[1024];
        int n;
        while((n=in.read(b))!=-1){
            os.write(b,0,n);
       in.close();
       os.close();
and i open a new window refer to above jsp ,also i set a breakPoint at os.close(),the program has passed through,but nothing happened in the window.
If i use IE or FF ,the browser will open a small window to allow me select whether open or save the file.So can anybody give me some advice.Is it because air using webkit engine and the engine does not do this kind of job?
        Thanks.

FlashPlayer Distribution Agreement - Download link not working (404)

Hello
We’ve got a new distribution agreement, but there seems to be a problem with the download link:
"Adobe® Flash® Player
Unter der folgenden Adresse können Sie die gewünschte Flash Player-Version zur Weiterverteilung herunterladen:
http://www.adobe.com/de/products/flashplayer/distribution4.html#http://www.adobe.com/de/products/flashplayer/distribution4.html#ID_RemovedIDREMOVED
We do know Adobe is changing the method how distribution partners should access the binaries, we saw in the mail that the old method will be decommissioned not before the 18 of November.
"• The existing hosting site URL will be decommissioned on November 18, 2014."
Can someone please investigate our issue?
Kind Regards

Hello,
The folks responsible for that page are working to fix the localized pages, which are not displaying. In the mean time, please use the English version of the page, Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. Thank you.

Not Yet Documented ADF Sample Applications download link not working

Steve Muench Not Yet Documented ADF Sample Applications located at http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/
The download link for the samples does not work. It directs us to Oracle JDeveloper Products Page instead.
Clicking on the title of any sample application used to enable the download of the sample file. Now it points to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/overview/index.html
Is there an alternative way to download the sample applications?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Mitesh

Unfortunately the link https://smuenchadf.samplecode.oracle.com/samples does not work. It gives message URL is not valid.
Your samples are a very important source of reference for us. Hopefully all the samples can be migrated to the new site soon.
I am using JDev 11.1.1.2. I am using editable checkboxes is a table with RowSelection = Single. When I click on a selectBooleanCheckbox on a different row other than the current table row, the checkbox value changes at first but immediately reverts back to the previous state. It works fine so long as I remain on current row of the table. If I turn RowSelection off then I don't face this issue.
For information, I wanted to take a look at your sample 145. Using a CheckBox in an Editable Table with Boolean/Button Binding.
Thank you for your help.

Website image and zip file download links not working in Dreamweaver Air application

Hi
I have successfully created and AIR app for an existing business website using the Dreamweaver AIR Extension. The site works very well in all respects except for the part where we have high resolution images and zip files available for download. The download links refuse to do anything, and right-click (PC) / ctl-click (Mac) does nto work either.
I suspect this may be an AIR sandbox/security issue but am I correct and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give.

Download links not working? Have to rightclick everytime...

Hi,
This is weird and has me stumped. If I click a download link for a .zip or .dmg file in Safari or Firefox nothing happens. In order to download files I have to right-click the link and choose 'Download linked file', this works perfectly.
I've tried changing the DNS servers but that didn't fix it. I also completely uninstalled safari and all .plist files and re-installed Safari, this didn't work. My MacBook, which is on the same network works fine.
The issue is with ANY browser, not just Safari.
Any ideas on a fix would be fantastic
Dave

Maybe you should boot from your install disc just in case, run Disk Utility to see if there are any errors on the startup disk.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

LR Download Link Not Working

I am trying to download a trial version of Lightroom, but the link button does not respond. I have tried on two different computers.
Here's the page:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom
I already have Creative Cloud subscription which now includes Lightroom. I have everything installed on two allowed computers. How can I get just Lightroom onto a third computer? Please tell me I don't have to purchase full product
Okay, I found this link in another thread and it worked:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Windows
The link on the main download page does not work

This thread about I E not working for the lightroom 4 download is from August of 2012.
It's now November of 2012 and I found this thread after trying to download LR4 without success, using multiple computers with IE as the default browser.
I just tried it with Chrome and it worked just fine.
What the **** is going on here?
IE is still a major browser and it appears the Adobe has completely ignored this issue.
This is a problem with the Adobe site and there should be ramifications to Adobe for not even posting a warning on the download page so that people can at least use another browser and avoid so much troubleshooting.
Again, this is from months ago. You should be ashamed Adobe. Utterly disgusting way to treat your clients.

Navigation links not working on some pages

Since updating to iWeb '08, I have had problems with the main navigations links on most of my pages once I leave the Home Page. I'll go to the site, click on a Navigation link at the top of the page, and when the new page loads, the nav links at the top of the newly loaded page (which are the same as the ones on the home page) don't all work.
Anyone got a clue?
Site: www.faithmountainaz.com
Thanks, all!

That was a hopeful. But the graphic is NOT blocking the nav bar. I even went through all the pages to make sure it was out of the way.
Bummer. That would have been an easy fix!

Why does "Insert MathType Equation" not work in new Pages for Mac?

Command opens MathType (6.7e). After typing an equation, pressing Command-W closes the MathType window and returns to Pages. (Instructions given here: http://help.apple.com/pages/mac/5.0/#/tan0e6bf8310 indicate that I should have to answer "Yes" to some question at this point, but no question appears. The return to Pages is automatic.) But no equation appears in the placeholder in the Pages 5.0 document (as it does in Pages 4.3). Subsequently double-clicking the placeholder in the Pages 5.0 document opens a new (blank) MathType window. Where is my equation?

Right -- you shouldn't have to start MathType separately. If it's running, fine, but if it's not, it will start when you first use the Insert MathType Equation command.
All the posts and replies have been helpful, but I'm still getting mixed results. The first document I opened in Pages 5.0 was one that I created in Pages 4.3, and it had several MathType equations in it. I could not edit the old equations, but I could insert new ones and edit them once they were inserted. I later rebooted and opened the same document (which was now saved in Pages 5.0 format), and I got a message saying some of the images had been deleted. All of the original equations had been replaced with empty placeholders (gray boxes with a large X), but the new ones were still there.
I haven't been able to duplicate that behavior with additional "old" documents. I can open Pages 4.3 documents in Pages 5.0, and all the old equations are visible and editable. Someone mentioned re-installing MathType, and I must say that I did that (for a different reason), so I must consider the possibility that this had some bearing on the outcome, but I can't be sure.
It does appear, as has been reported many times, and as Peter alluded to above, that you can't add equations or other objects to text boxes or tables. I believe this was intentional on Apple's part, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea.
That said, and this is a Pages thread so I won't say much about it, I haven't seen any problems at all with Keynote 6.0 and Numbers 3.0, when it comes to how they deal with MathType.
