Adobe InDesign downloading Never-Ending file from Web

My Adobe InDesign 2.0 application has automatically gone onto the web and is downloading a file (for the last 8 hours) making the application unusable. The error message I get when trying to launch the application is:
Downloading: File 2 of 2...
No personal information is being transmitted.
File: AWEDBFiles4.awe
To: Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Web:AWEDBFiles4.awe
when I go to the directory where this file is being downloaded, I see a 0 KB file entitled:
AWEDBFiles4.awe.tmp
I also see a 4KB text file entitled:
AWEXFiles.txt when I open it, it says..."we're sorry. Please try again later."
In the same directory is a 4 KB file entitled AdobeWorkflowTemp_.awf which has 8 entries for 04-14-2007 each saying:
Downloading
File is to be downloaded from: http://cgim.adobe.com/adobe_online/getAWEFiles.cgi?App=43&Lang=enu&Platform=2&DL LVer=2.0&AOMVer=2.0
File is to be downloaded to: Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Web:AWEXFiles.txt
Downloading completed at: 04/14/2007 11:57 59 sec
Result: success
Can someone please help me get rid of this stupid download. I realize that I have an old operating system, but if you had my income, then you would not be able to upgrade either. Please help me restore my Adobe InDesign into a workable application so I can get my resume out...I need a job. Any help you give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Here is what worked:
1. When I launched an Adobe application, I was getting an error message with a title bar that read:
"Updating Adobe Online components from Adobe.com"
The error message read:
"Downloading: File 2 of 2...
No personal information is being transmitted.
File: AWEDBFiles4.awe
To: Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Web:"
The download would not end...it went on for hours.
2. In order to stop the downloads, I had to "Force Quit" the applications that I was trying to launch.
3. I went to the downloading file named on the error message:
"AWEDBFiles4.awe"
and trashed the file.
I noticed another file (a text file) with a similar name in the same directory:
"AWEXFiles.txt"
when I opened the text file it read:
"we're sorry. Please try again later."
I trashed that file too and emptied the trash.
4. I exited all open applications and shut down the computer.
5. I booted up the computer WITHOUT powering up my DSL line and modem.
6. I went to an Adobe application, in this case, Photoshop and to the "Help" pulldown menu and clicked:
"Adobe Online"
"Preferences"
"Update Options"
and clicked
"Never"
7. I exited Photoshop and shut down the computer.
8. I booted up the DSL line and modem and then the computer.
9. All is good.

Using AMP to download and save FLV files from web sites?

I thought I had heard months ago that this new media player was going to allow you to download and save the FLV files from web sites like YouTube and others, where a direct download while possible, isn't the easiest thing to currently do. But I don't really see any way in this new media player to download and save files from web sites....it's plenty willing to play them if they're already saved on your hard drive, but I thought one of the reasons for Adobe building this was to make it easier to get them in the first place?

I'd have to agree. This is one of the most useless products I have seen from a company of this standard. Why they continue to provide this product as an example of what can be done with AIR, is bewildering. Myself and others have posted over and over again that the player deletes the saved movies at some random time, an hour or two hours after they appear to be saved.
What is the point of having a 'saved' icon the CD ICON if that movie will be deleted FOR NO BLOODY reason. I just wasted 400 mb of my quota dowloading moves 3 times...!! just to realise that the application deletes them from the VERY CACHE that it copies them to.
Adobe, if this is what I can expect while trying to view the tutorials for FLEX what will the development experience be like. Myself and others are fed up with posting this bug to Adobe, just to be ignored. How much stress to do you want on your servers before you WAKE UP.
I have been in 4 meetings over the last 2 weeks and everyone has remarked about the 'experience' trying to view these tutorials.
Wake up to yourself. If you want to charge $500 for FLEX then atleast fix this crappy player.
PS. I note that this player is supposedly built with Flex and that the list control truncates rather than wraps, in addition, no 'tool tips', dates are not localised, the video keeps unpausing itself each time I return from the downloads page, no settings for where files should be cached. Occasionally the underlining (grey) window bar appears over the top of the flash window edge. I've used the application for an hour or so...
Where is the alternative... I'll be glad when Adobe get some real competition.. so that they pay attention to input. A big wastefull site if all support does is read and ignore posts.!!!!!!!!!!!!

How to download/save a AI file from Web

Hi all,
I need to download some ai files from my client's web application in which, whenever I click the links from their web, my acrobat pdf reader 8.0 will be pop-up and I cannot save the ai files under the acrobat pdf reader. Recently, I don't have any Adobe Illustrator program in my PC because my job is download all ai files and forward to my designers. Can anyone have any suggestion?
thanks

Hi Silk,
I've tried this before. I've no idea why my client's application cannot right click the link. Probably, the web application is written by something related to Java. Even I use left or right click, my windows will be automatically popup the Acrobat PDF reader. I was trying to search some related discussion to disable the Acrobat PDF reader(8.0) popup but fail. Have any idea?

Safari will not open or download pdf files from web?

Safari will not open or downlaod pdf files from web? IS there a setting, or something else to do this?

Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

HT2488 How do I create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScripts to download an excel file from a specific webpage?

I would like to create a workflow in Automator or a script in AppleScript (or a combination of the two), that opens Safari to a specified page and downloads an excel file from this page and saves the downloaded document to my desktop.
Is this something that be done? If so, how?
I have so far been able to build a workflow in Automator to open Safari and added an AppleScript that takes Safari to a specific page that has an Excel document.
I can't figure out where to go from here... Any help would be apprecitated.
Thanks!

Would you have the web address the excel sheet is on?
Is there a simular web page you could point to if not?
Would there be a copy of the file on an FTP page. This would be easier.

Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
# Press return to run a command.
the curl is a terminal command ( Unix ). It allows you to read a file off of the web.
man curl
provides cryptic information on the commnad curl.
press the space bar to advance a page.
press letter to q to quit.
What you may have to is to read in the web page as a text file. Go "fishing" through the page to find the excel file you need. Once you find the file, you can use curl to read the file.
curl is a very full featured command. (read complex to figure out ).
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:

Opening pdf files from web

New to forums. Trying to open pdf files from web, and no luck, despite following Adobe trouble shooting suggestions. Using OS 10.7.5. no flickering or messages, just a tab with a blank screen. Older documents fine, nothing changed until this week. Downloaded X1 in attempt to solve problem.

Yes i tried following your list of commands and got the same error from MyMathLab by Pearson Publishing or the other link. I'm beginning to wonder if they are protected.
As you probably guess - I am not computer savvy. I will take my laptop to school tomorrow and ask another student.
Thanks for your followup.

How to upload Unicode encoding files from web?

Hi everyone,
I do not manage to upload Unicode encoding CSV files from web. Currently I use class CL_HTMLB_MANAGER to upload file from web. It works fine with ANSI encoding files, but file content is not uploaded correctly with Unicode encoding files. Especially I get innumerable characters u201C#u201D throughout the string that contains the file content (For example instead of u201CSAP CATALOG CSV 2.0u201D I get u201CÿþS#A#P# #C#A#T#A#L#O#G# #C#S#V# #2#.#0#u201D).
I did not find in forums a solution to my issue that is why I am now asking for your help.
How can I upload Unicode encoding files from web? Do you know another way to upload file from web that is Unicode compatible?
Remark: I tried to upload Unicode encoding files from SAP GUI using function module GUI_UPLOAD and upload is successful.
Here is the code that I currently used.
DATA:     lr_event_ex     TYPE REF TO if_htmlb_data,
           fileupload      TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_fileupload,
           lr_upload_model TYPE REF TO /ccm/cl_bsp_upload_model,
           lr_error        TYPE REF TO /ccm/cx_file_upload.
lr_event_ex = cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event_ex( runtime->server->request ).
IF lr_event_ex->event_name = 'fileUpload' AND lr_event_ex->event_type = 'upload'.
fileupload ?= lr_event_ex.
FREE lr_event_ex.
* get the model
lr_upload_model ?= me->get_model( model_id = 'mupl' ).
IF NOT fileupload->file_name IS INITIAL.
*   upload data
    TRY.
        CALL METHOD lr_upload_model->upload_data
          EXPORTING
            iv_file_name = fileupload->file_name
          CHANGING
            cv_xcontent = fileupload->file_content.
      CATCH /ccm/cx_file_upload INTO lr_error.
    ENDTRY.
    FREE fileupload.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Thank you in advance for helping me.
Best regards,
Vanessa

I need an addon to extract music files from web pages like myspace.

I'm running Firefox 23 on Ubuntu 12.04. I would like to be able to extract/download music files from web pages like MySpace. I searched through the addons but didn't find any. Is there and addon to download music from MySpace?

There's a Search box at addons.mozilla.org which you can use. <br />

The first one listed there says it works with MySpace.

"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall."

Hi EveryOne !
"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall. Missing files: \Program Files\Common FIles\Adobe\TypeSupport\...\CP1252.TXT" This is the message I keep receiving on CS5.5 of InDesign.
I am running InDesign CS5.5 North American, English, with updates on my WinXP SP3 machine. Local copy, no network server. Yes, I might possibly need a newer machine, or a newer desk, or to reinstall WinXP to fix this one problem, but everything other than InDesign CS5.5 still runs great and I feel no compelling reason to make system-wide changes or upgrade until Win8 has been thoroughly tested and new hardware is released and tried and true for that OS.
So, last year, I received the same message and reinstalling didn't work either. So, I pried everything Adobe off of my computer and reinstalled Adobe PageMaker 7.x. But now I am compelled by my co-workers to use ID, which I have grown to love. I have no desire or $ to upgrade to ID6 but must make use of the ID 5.5. I don't want to uninstall PageMaker as we still use it for legacy projects and it has been a faithful companion to me since it was called Aldus Pagemaker.
My question: what is causing these messages and why does re-installation not help ? If there is a system problem, why is only CS5.5 affected and not my PageMaker and Quark ? I have searched the web and found only related posts (with no responses relevant to me) for users of Apple products.
Thank you in advance for any information that you may be able to provide.
