After clicking "Save" in "Save as" file dialog, the dialog disappears but no download is started. Is this a Windows 7 64 bit issue? It works fine in Windows XP.

I am trying to download the iTunes installer for Windows 7 64 bit.
I have "Always ask me where to save files" checked in Firefox's download options.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) In the iTunes download page I click the "Download now" link and Firefox shows me a "Opening iTunes64Setup.exe" dialog with a "Save File" button.
2) I click the "Save File" button. Sometimes the dialog disappears but nothing else happens. Other times I get the Windows 7 "Save as" dialog.
3) I click the "Save" button in the save file dialog (I'm using the default user documents folder). The dialog disappears and nothing happens.
If I uncheck "Always ask me where to save files" then the download works fine.
I also have a Windows XP 32 bit with the same configuration where everything works fine which makes me think that this problem only happens in Windows 7 or in the 64 bit version.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • PS CC - Crashes after clicking save.

    Hi,
    I'm having problems when trying to save an image after editing it.
    The scenario - I have a raw image, and a virtual copy of said image, open in lightroom 5. Both have had minor tweaks to them. I then highlight both images and click "edit in photoshop as layers".
    All is well at this point. I then do what I do in photoshop which is minor editing, only a few basic layers, then I hit save. My goal here is for me to save what I have done in PS and then view image in lightroom etc etc.
    However after clicking save, I keep getting a message saying Photoshop CC has stopped working, and I can search web for help or close program. Clicking on either closes photoshop and I lose what work I have done.
    I'm not only new to photoshop but my tech knowledge is relatively basic when it comes to computer faults and programming etc. The "error code" I keep getting is MMXcore.8bx
    This happens about 99% of the time however on a few, very few, occasions my image has saved and it's now in lightroom. Also when I open an image as layer in photoshop and then make a few basic adjustments to my image, the hit save it works. But when for example I convert a layer for smart filter and hit save , it crashes?! It only seems to happen after I do a bit more editing.
    I really don't know what happenin and what information I need to provide for help, but basically I can't save my work and it's very frustrating!
    Thank you!
    PS I should add that I'm not too sure how to provide my tech specs or the full error message. If I have left something out please say and I'll add to post at next opportunity. Thanks.

    Hi Chris,
    None that I know of. To be fair this behavior has only begun to occur; I used PS CC regularly without problem. The only thing that I can think of is that I recently installed CC 2014, which caused some complexities using Bridge, which has changed my workflow slightly. Bridge CC is a bit confused as to where its loyalties lie. I used to open in ACR and then open from there into PSCC. That no longer works, as it apparently tries to launch into CC 2014 even if CC is open. "Open in" in the context menu does not contain an option for CC, so what I have to do is to launch CC, then go to Bridge and choose simply "Open", which launches an instance of ACR that connects to CC when I choose "Open".
    Perhaps this causes some state in the system that, combined by some as yet unidentified keyboard command, causes the keyboard driver to hang. Just a completely uneducated speculation. Using CC 2014 I use my normal workflow faultlessly, so I will just go ahead and get all my plugs installed and drop CC completely.

  • Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac no longer able to save or save as documents;  program freezes after clicking save

    Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac 2004 is no longer able to Save or Save As documents.  After clicking Save or Save As, the program ceases to respond and must be Force Quit.  Any tips on making Word functional again?

    There was a second Security Update (v1.1).  Did you download that one.  It was supposed to have fixed the problems created by the prior update.  At least is solved my problems with Quicken 2007 for Mac and AppleWorks 6.

  • 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 save a file in the server?

    Hello,
    I am writing a Java Web Start program that it will generate a html file, how can I save the generated file in the server, fro example, the directory where I stored my JAR files. Because right now, it will create the html file in the local client mahcine instead of the server. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thanks you.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

  • How can I save a file in the Downloads folder and automatically have it opened?

    Often, I'd like to download a file, save it to my Downlaods folder and have it opened right away.
    Currently, you can only decide between the two options "open" or "save to...". There's seemlingly no way Firefox can do both at once.
    I know I can download it, open the downloads manager and open it manually. But when working with over a dozen documents a day, that doesn't quite do the trick.
    In Chrome, you only have to click twice: Once for downloading and once for opening it from the download bar on the bottom of the screen. You do not have to open a download manager.

  • How to make the active save-to-file with the data from GPIB ?

    Hello,,everybody !!
    I want to make the active save-to-file with the data from GPIB since starting the measurement. To save-to-file at the end of measurment is somehow risky for losing the data because my measurment have to take for long time (eg. 24-48 hours).
    Thank you in advance for anybody's help !!

    Thanks Dennis,
    I have already append, I got it but still have one small problem that between each line it has the blank line. Example as below ,
    16:40:33 54.24
    16:40:34 54.23
    16:40:35 54.24
    I want to get rid of the blank line in between.. Do you have the idea about it ?

  • Cannot re-save a file into the same folder

    Hi.
    I have a odd issue where users are unable to resave their documents into the folder that they have opened them from.  The folders in question are their home folders to which each user has full permission to access. You cannot save over the original
    file or even to the same folder and changing the filename makes no difference at all.  You can however save to a different folder within the users home folder.  I get an event 300 error/event when trying to save but no other errors other than a confirmation
    box saying the file hasn't saved.
    Has anyone else seen this before/
    Thanks
    Tom

    It seems like a permission issue, can you save new files to the location anyway?
    You can try clean boot to determine whether other programs are conflicting:
