Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which model iBook is yours?
What file are you attempting to download? Which browser are you using to attempt the download?

  • Activity windows shows "cancelled" for a .mpg file

    When I paste a valid URL into Safari the Quicktime player opens within Safari but the status message reads: "Failed to open page (see Activity window for details)". The activity windows status column just reads: "cancelled" that that URL.
    Pasting the URL into Firefox works w/o a problem.
    I am using Safari 5 and SnowLeopard (with all the latest updates).

    There seems to be a bug in Safari with .mpg files that include a space in the file name:
    * Safari issues a cryptic error, not even a file not found type error.
    * Replacing the file name with a %20 does not work either.
    * Safari works fine for *.mp4 files that include a space in the file name.
    URL with a space fails:
    http://www.wilhelmtell.org/images/Wilhelm Tell.org_web5.mpg
    This URL also fails (but works in other browsers):
    http://www.wilhelmtell.org/images/Wilhelm%20Tell.org_web5.mpg
    URL w/o space in the file name works:
    http://www.wilhelmtell.org/images/WilhelmTell.orgweb51.mpg
    URL with a space in for .mp4 works:
    http://www.wilhelmtell.org/images/Wilhelm Tell.org_web3.mp4

  • Plug-in canceled

    I recently went to the Apple download site to download the new Backup 3.2 program. Almost immediately the status bar at the bottom of the web page displayed the message: Failed to open page (see activity window for details). The activity window log, under the Status column indicates “Plug-in canceled”. Subsequently, after having read all the posts I could find on this subject, I went to the Adobe page to attempt to download the newest version of flash player. Same problem and message. Can some one point me toward a solution?

    Ok..
    Go to your Applications folder. Right or control click the Backup application icon, then click: Get Info. Check the version number. If it's 3.2... then it's already installed. If not....
    Go to your Apple Menu (top left in your screen) and click: Software Updates. Make sure your system software is up to date.
    If everything is up to date...
    Go to /Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist file to the Trash. Restart your Mac. Try the Backup download.

  • "Activity window" in Safari no longer works to download YouTube videos. Why not? Workaround?

    For years I have used Apple's recommended standard technique whenever I wanted to download a Flash video embedded in a YouTube page to my hard drive:
    - Open a YouTube page and click on the video's "play" button to get it started;
    - Press command-option-A to then open up Safari's "Activity Window" which lists all the components of the page;
    - Find on the list the component for the loading Flash video, which is usually much larger (measured in MB rather than KB) than all the other components, and also is usually still in the process of loading, so it's easy to spot;
    - Double-click the component's name on the list in the Activity Window, and voila, the video downloads to my hard drive.
    This "trick" is described everywhere as THE standard way to download YouTube videos (and similar page components); and I have used it successfully for many years.
    HOWEVER, sometime very recently (not sure when, exactly -- a few weeks or months ago) YouTube has changed the way its pages are coded, so that this technique no longer works. When I open the Activity Window, instead of seeing one large loading video file that's easily identifiable, I see a whole series of large files, all exactly 1.7mb big (no matter how large the file size of the actual video in question is), and they constantly increase in number -- at first there are two such files, but over the seconds and minutes more and more appear. Furthermore, many files with no named size are constantly loading and then disappearing. And here's the whole point: I've tried double-clicking on ALL of these files, dozens of ways on dozens of YouTube pages, and none of the are the video file I seek and none of them cause the file to  download to my hard drive.
    If I click on one the mysterious 1.7mb components, I indeed get a ".flv" downloaded to my hard drive, but it's not actually a Flash video; clicking on its downloaded file icon just brings up a blank box or an error message saying that it's not really a video file at all. I think it's some sort of "decoy" file or something to do with streaming Flash code.
    To see what I mean, just go to YouTube, load any random video page, and then open Safari's Activity WIndow and try to download the video that way.
    This happens on an iMac running Safari 5.1 on OSX 10.6.8, and also on a MacBook Pro running Safari 5.0.2  on OSX 10.6.5, and on a few other new-ish Macs I tested it out on, but failed to note their version numbers.
    I'm presuming that this problem is not specific to my computer, but is caused by the way that YouTube altered the background code for their pages. I don't know if the glitch is an intentional attempt by YouTube to prevent downloads, or if it is an accidental "bug" of the new code. Either way:
    How can I fix the problem? Is there some other lesser-known built-in way for Safari/Mac to download the new kind of YouTube videos? Or is there some reliable freeware or shareware or plug-in or extension or whatever for Safari that would enable YouTube downloading?
    I tried a freeware program called "Evom" that was highly touted, but it too was thwarted by the new YouTube code and failed to extract any videos from the YouTube page, even though that's what the application was designed to do.
    As a side note, I will say that I also have (though rarely use) FireFox for Mac, and the "Unplug" plug-in installed on it, and that ALSO "broke" recently and no longer has the capacity to recognize or download YouTube videos, even though previously it worked fine. This is why I think the issue is not specific to my set-up or computer, but is due to a change in YouTube's underlying code.)
    Any help with an explanation, solution or workaround would be much appreciated (by me and by millions of others who I assume are facing the same problem!).

    Carolyn:
    I just now did exactly as you recommended. Result? No change.
    Even after trashing the files and restarting and everything else, the Activity Window and YouTube behave exactly as they did before.
    (I had actually previously tried something very similar to your recommendation, and it didn't have any effect then either.)
    In case it's helpful, here's an example of what one of the mystery components that load endlessly in the Activity Window is listed as:

  • Something is stealing focus from my active window

    Hi,
    Something frequently steals focus from my Mail, Keynote and other active windows. I'm having trouble figuring out what it is as the focus doesn't 'go' anywhere. It's quite annoying as I frequently get the error-ding, and have to go to the mouse to return focus to the window I was working in.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem (probably because we work for the same company )
    The problem is with Symantec Endpoint Protection. I ran a script and found out that's causing the problem. I don't have a fix yet though unfortunately.

  • Download items from Safari's Activity window DEAD OS X.7 Lion

    Downloading items from Safari's (5.1) Activity window DEAD- Mac OS X.7 Lion
    Aargghhh this was brilliant before for grabbing stuff and not working now,
    all i get is a massive amount of text showing up and no download anymore.
    Yup you can download an earlier version (5.0.6) but Lion will not swallow it
    tried pacifist to open the old package but even that fails.
    thought i could find it inside and run it.
    so....
    what now?
    is there a way round this?
    a third party plug in!
    something?
    anyone got any idea how to sort this out?
    so i can grab filmclips pictures etc...
    just like before.

    I thought I was the only person who was grieving the loss of this feature. I used it mostly for downloading PDFs as preview handles them so much better than shoddy propriety viewers, or even the "preview in safari" mode. During my degree it was invaluable to me as it also let me save these files into folders and keep them for referencing later.
    To further exlpain; it was one of the features which set Safari out from the rest. The activity window shows all the different elements of the website which are either being loaded or which have been downloaded. It will show elements of javascript, images, music, PDFs etc embedded in the page including videos and the like.
    Within that activity window, you can also see (and copy!) the DIRECT LINK address of each element of the page. ie: Where the actual media files are being hosted, downloaded or streamed from. Certain sites disable this feature for protected works, as they are entitled to do so, but the vast majority allow it.
    When we had a separate downloads window, instead of this overlay box in the Lion safari, it enabled the end user to copy the DIRECT LINK in the activity window using Ctrl + C and do the following:
    1) Either paste it into the address bar to watch/ listen to the media free from the other elements of the page which waste memory/ get in the way
    2) Paste it into the "Downloads" window (Using Ctrl + V) which would instantly start downloading the file, as if you had clicked a "Download file ABC Now" link on a web page.
    With the loss of the download window, only option 1 is available. This means that only images and certain formats of video/ audio will be viewable off the website in question ie: ones that quicktime can play. And the current version of quicktime embedded within safari doesn't give you the option to "Download a copy" or "Save as" like older versions used to.
    This may necessitate a revisiting of Firefox, which has a "Media browser" function.
    I wonder if there is perhaps a bookmarklet out there which forces a download of whatever is dragged onto it. Any ideas?

  • Active Window/Airplay as external monitor

    When I activate Airplay to my AppleTV (as a extended monitor), the active window remains on my laptop.  It should toss the active window up to the AppleTV screen, since that is my active workspace.  IOW, I want it to behave as if I plugged in a physical monitor.
    Thank you for your attention.
    (And excuse my pidgen terminology.)

    Only windows that were last on that display. For instance, if I have a Quicktime video open on the AirPlay display then close the quicktime window, the next time that videos opens with the AirPlay display connected it will open on the AirPlay display (it's last open position). Additionally, if you have a window that was on an external or AirPlay display when that display was disconnected, when you reconnect the AirPlay display the window will return to its previous position.
    What I think you are encountering is an intended behaviour in 10.9, where windows try and restore to their last commanded position, and, in your case, one (or more) or the windows was last placed on the AirPlay display, so it moves there when you connect the AirPlay display.

  • After round trip to CS5 Aperture is not becoming the active window

    After I complete my edits in CS5 I command W and save and the file returns to aperture with adjustments etc but aperture doesnt become the active window so I have to click on it to start off the next part of my workflow. Unless I am mistaken there is something going wrong here as before when i used aperture on completion of the round trip I was back active in an active window where I started off. Anyone got any idea's with what I am doing wrong?  E

    If you were using CS5 and Aperture in SL, I think you are mistaken.  There is nothing about those keystrokes to cancel CS5 being the front application.  If you close CS5, then Aperture will be the front application, assuming you have not interimly opened another app.  I would not expect it to be different in Lion.  My use of Lion is currently testing another external editior, so haven't installed my Adobe Design Premium suite in Lion yet, but would not expect different behavior from that in SL.

  • Having issues with setting the "Active Window"

    Hello List,
    I've got a LV installation that runs three LV created EXE's simultaneously. In the "top level" application, the user enters a product model number (by way of a PS2 barcode scanner) to be tested, and that application looks at our network to see if there is a test recipe for the product. If there is, it hides and moves itself to the bottom and maximizes and moves to the top EXE number two. On EXE number two, the user is supposed to scan the product serial number. But on occasion, EXE number two is not the active window, even though it is the frontmost and maximized, so the scan from the barcode reader doesn't go into the field. (Looking at the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen, the task for the frontmost & maximized EXE is not "depressed")  A simple mouse click anywhere on the window will make it active, but the users don't have a mouse (or keyboard) (I am able to "remote in" from another computer using a product line "PC Anywhere). I have tried using the "mouse_event" from user32.dll in a "Call Library Function Node", but that doesn't seam to work reliably.
    So my first question is, will the "mouse_event" from user32.dll even fire if my computer doesn't have a mouse plugged in?
    And, if not, does anyone have any better ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    I'm guessing that it would, because Windows has a cursor even if there's no mouse plugged in, but I haven't tried it.
    As for the second question, you could try what I posted here, although you'll probably want to clean up the code - http://lavag.org/topic/12751-how-do-you-make-your-​application-window-frontmost/?p=76308

  • Activity Window Shows "Forbidden" When Attempting to Play FLV Movies

    I've noticed a problem for the past few months using both Safari 2 and 3 that when I go to certain web sites with embedded FLV movies, if I click on the movie, I get an error at the bottom of the Safari window that tells me to check the Activity window. When I do, I see that the specific URL for the embedded movie shows a status of "Forbidden." However, if I click on the link to view the movie directly from the source site (not the embedded version), I have no problems. If I try the same thing in Firefox, the embedded movies always play fine. I'm running the latest version of Flash (just downloaded 9.0.115 today) and still have the issue. Any idea why a movie won't play when it's embedded but plays fine if you go to the site directly? What could be causing a response of "Forbidden"?

    Happy Dance!! I purchased a TV Show and it solved everything. I like the product... now, but what a pain all around, with very little direction. Thank goodness for forums like this. What a nice way to outsource your support to you customers! If it helps anyone, this is what I went through to gt everything working across a wireless AirPort Extreme network (iMac source):
    1. Followed instruction out of the box, connected to network fine, established connection to iTunes fine, set up sync fine
    2. Couldn't play any purchased content on ATV (unauthorized), logged in about 5 times on ATV, which is a PITA, no luck
    3. Unplugged ATV, plugged back in, login in was successful
    4. White screen on video, couldn't play purchased music
    5. Purchased TV episode, everything played fine
    Between steps 4 & 5 I also unnecessarily did the following over the course of a day:
    1. Reset ATV
    2. Reset ATV to factory
    3. Removed ATV from iTunes
    4. Deauthorized/reauthorized Tunes
    5. Changes every video setting thinking that it was my TV, as Apple would never release a buggy product in the market
    Anyway, thanks for the hints, as now I'm liking this little piece of gear.

  • Active X Plug In Problem

    Does anyone know how to fix a problem with the Active X plug in? I have it but it fails to initialize.
    Please help.

    "are there solutions for Mac Users? "
    Sorry, but no. If you want to use an Active X
    control, you must run IE for Windows.
    "I prefer not installing Windows XP and
    Explorer"
    Purchase CrossOver Mac from codeweavers.com and just
    install IE.
    Sounds like a plan I can live with. I will follow your suggestions and will let you know how successful I was. THANK YOU!

  • Mail Activity Window - Nothing showing most the time??

    I am fairly new to Mail. I've used Entourage for years and switched over when i got my new imac. Sort of liking it. There are many more functions in Entourage that Mail doesn't have. For one...I could hit Command > Period to stop sending an email while it was in the process of sending. How do I do that now in Mail? I see there is a Mail Activity window but most of the time it doesn't show any status down there..? Why? Sometimes it does but not very often. There's no rhyme or reason...Just when it wants to it seems. When it DOES show the status of a sending email i see that there is an "X" to cancel. But that is only when it shows. Command > Period doesn't work here.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have found an acceptable solution to this until the real thing comes along...
    Under Window in the task bar, select Activity. This moves a small box onto the desktop. Make it as small as you can and drag it to somewhere on your desktop where it's out of the way.
    Press Get Mail as you used to and all the activity is shown in the - ahem - activity panel.

  • Mouse deselects active window, wont respond until ctrl alt del

    The problem that I'm having is that my mouse sporadically "unfocuses" my current active window when I click, and will not interact with anything onscreen. The computer isn't freezing, you can still move the mouse but can’t click on anything. You also can’t click and drag. Also the mouse looks like a standard pointer, not the spinning blue circle. There is no visible active window, it's as if there is an invisible window on top of everything else, that stops the clicks from going through. When this happens, mousing over things doesn't provoke a response; For instance - Mousing over a link in a webpage doesn't turn the cursor into a hand signifying a clickable link. The keyboard still responds perfectly, and all programs continue running normally. This occurs at any given time, while on or offline.
    When this problem happens, I can press ctrl-alt-delete, and click once anywhere on that blue screen to make the mouse begin to respond again. Then I click cancel and go back to whatever I was doing for anywhere between 5 seconds and 30 minutes when the problem happens again
    This computer is virus free, and I've seen others have this problem on a fresh install of Windows Vista. I have tried this mouse in other computers, and the problem doesn't happen. I've also tried other mice in this computer and it still occurs. I've been told by other who have the same problem that it "Happens with touchpads, pointing stick, wireless mouse, wired USB mouse", and possibly others as well. I'm running an OEM Windows Vista Home Premium, fully updated, MSI K9N4 SLI Motherboard, AMD 4600+ processor, Razor Deathadder mouse, Logitech G15 Keyboard, ATI Radeon 4870 HD Graphics card, and 4GB Mushkin ddr2 sdram. It also occured with 2gb of corsair ram and an 8800gts graphics card.
    If you have any questions concerning hardware/software/what i had for breakfast, I'll gladly answer.
    If you have any ideas, I will pretty much try anything at this point.
    As of now, I have tried every idea at this website - http://blog.bidenpc.com/267/vista-mouse-cant-click/ - to no avail.
    Thank you for your time, please help if you can.

    Thanks for this post! This is exactly what cause the issue. I tried to press the forward button on the mouse only to find out it was stuck :D

  • Batch won't run unless Illustrator CS3 is active window?

    I'm hoping someone can help me out with this as it's driving me nuts. Basically I'm trying to batch an action I made in CS3 to run on about 700 illustrator files.
    Everything runs just fine and dandy until I switch from Illustrator to another program (Firefox, photoshop, bridge, anything other than illustrator), once illustrator is no longer the active window, the batch process stops. When I make illustrator the active window again, the batch starts again. This worked perfect in CS2 and I never had this problem until CS3.
    This is a huge pain as I can't work on anything else while keeping the batch running in the background.
    Here's the nitty gritty details:
    XP SP2, Illustrator CS3, smoking fast machine
    Action was created in actions palette to do the following:
    Unlock All > Select All > Create Outlines > Convert to Grayscale
    Ran the batch via the actions palette, choose "Save and Close" and "log errors to a file".
    I've restarted Illustrator, restarted the machine, recreated the action, broke the folder into smaller folders with less files. It's making my Tuesday feel like a Monday.
    I've search all over and found nothing. There was one post here on the adobe forums, but it was from October and it never got answered. If you have a solution you will be my hero!
    Thanks!

    Yes, I have absolutely seen this! At our office we batch process Illustrator files to JPEG very frequently, and it's a huge nuisance to have Illustrator block the system during the batch processing. Everyone here is on XP SP2 as well, and we all have this issue. In fact, trying to switch in and out of Illustrator while it's batching can cause the application to crash fairly regularly for us.
    I can confirm that the Mac version of Illustrator CS3 does *not* have this problem, as I am batch-exporting right now with Illustrator in the background on my Mac. (Mac OS X 10.5.2, Illy 13.0.2)
    A fix for this would be most appreciated, Adobe!
