Can't download files, shows file size is "-1bytes"

Hello, recently when I try to download files they do not start up immediately like they used to, and when they do it shows the file size of the file is "-1bytes". But, when I use a download manager to download it, it downloads just fine.
This isn't just 1 website in particular it happens for all the websites. I tried uninstalling FireFox, and installing it again and I still can't download anything.
Example:

That may be a bug. Firefox shows a size of -1 if the size is unknown instead of suppressing the file size.<br />
You can ignore that if the file down;loads fine.

I have a .mov file that is 59 gigs. Is there a converter that can reduce the file size with minor resolution loss so I can import it into final cut express?

Open the file in QuickTime Player. Then do Tools > Show Movie Inspector. What does it say for Format and FPS?
At 59GB, I suspect you have either a 4 hour DV video or a 1+ hour video that was converted to Apple Intermediate Codec. If it's either of those, you can import it directly into FCE provided you select the appropriate Easy Setup first. Your clips have to match the properties of the Easy Setup you are using.
If it's neither DV or AIC then you need to convert it to one of those codecs. (QuickTime/DV or QuickTime/AIC) Many people in this forum rely on MPEG Streamclip (it's free and works great).

I am trying to download a ringtone on my iphone, keep getting message "safari can't download file."

How do I download a ringtone? I keep getting the message "safari can't download file".

To add a ringtone, download it from your computer and make sure it is a .m4r file. Once this is done, add it to your iTunes library (it will go in the ringtones section). Then sync your phone making sure that it syncs ringtones as well (check it in the ringtones tab).
Then in your sound preferences on your iPhone change the ringtone.

Getting error: Safari can't download file intermittently

I purchased an Ipad (original) for my father in law and it will sometimes give an error ' Safari can not download file' and it will not go to any website. Weatherbug won't connect. Any app that connects to the internet does the same thing. Connecting to the internet thru airport express connected to a dsl modem. Other windows based machine connected to the internet fine. Ideas?

Safari can't download file when trying to download movies

Safari responds with "safari can't download file' when I use download app to download movies . I don't have issues downloading apps or searching net. Would be grateful for assistance.

You can't download something from Safari to your iPad. iPad is a closed system, and not subject to virus intrusion. Now, if for example you have a Kindle app and you go directly to Kindle in Safari and using your ID you buy a book, the book will download to your Kindle account, which you could then open your kindle App on your iPad and read the book you downloaded in your App. But you can't go into Safari and just download a book or a movie directly to your iPad from the net........

Can't download file from Gmail...

I have the latest version of Safari and now I can't download files from my Gmail...

Might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Can't download file from any browser and download manager

i confused wit my MBP, becaus MBP can't download file from internet ( via USB modem & Wi-fi)..
can you help me to fix it ??
i use iGetter, and it not responding to download, safari too..

I was able to download the trial from rarlab.com. What happens when you click on a download? You need to make sure you select to download the Mac version. The .exe files do not run on a Mac.
BTW, you might want to check out GUI Tar https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14503/gui-tar
The other two sites also work for me. What exactly happens when you click on a link to download? Do you know how to find your downloads?

HI Phillip,
On the other I am wholly unable to download the file from either Safari or Firefox
Let's try one browser at a time. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder then the Safari folder. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Now launch Firefox. From the Firefox menu bar click Firefox / Preferences then select the
Advanced tab then the Network tab. Click: Clear Now.
Relaunch Firefox.
If nothing above has helped either browser, login to your Mac to another user account. Try Safari there. If you can't download files from Safari there, then it's a system wide problem. Boot from your install disc. Run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair any errors on the startup disk.

How do I can I install MS Office 2008 on a MacBook Air w/ a valid product key? Can I download files somewhere?

How do I can I install MS Office 2008 on a MacBook Air w/ a valid product key? Can I download files somewhere?
Here's the scenario....
I've got a brand new gift MacBook Air 11" and I want to install Microsoft Office 2008 since I have a valid key license that's given by my nephew. Do I have any other options here? Can I download all the necessary files from somewhere officially and just enter the Product Key to install what I need? Are there other possible options?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much.

You can use a remote disc to download Office as shown here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
But please note several cautions:
1. The product key is intended for one machine only. You would have to be the sole user.
2. Office 2008 is now very close to being obsolete. Office 2011 has been out for years, and Office 365 is available for your Mac as well.

When I download videos (from an external hard drive), they appear to be downloaded (file sizes look correct) but they all stop playing a few minutes in!

How can i download file from a pageflow portlet in Webloigc Portal?

How can i download file from a portlet in Webloigc Portal?
My Question is, when i download files used codes in a pageflow listed below,
it didn't work. but in non-portal environments, it worked well.
How can I download a file from a portlets in portal??
Thx in advanced.
this.getResponse().setContentType ( "application/ms-excel" ) ;
this.getResponse().setHeader ( "Content-Disposition" ,"attachment;filename="
+new String("Excel.xls".getBytes(),"iso-8859-1")) ;
sth.write(this.getResponse().getOutputStream());

i always use an old fashioned method when i have to do this, i create a new jsp that contains a scriptlet that writes to the ServletOutputStream.
<i>outputWriter.jsp</i>
// define your own class to get file here, otherwiser use netui-data:callControl tag
<code><pre>
File file = FileControl.getFile(fileName);
String fileName = (String) request.getParameter("fileName");
response.setContentType(file.getContentType());
ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
InputStream is = file.getInputStream();
for(int i = 0; (i = is.read()) != -1;)
sos.write(i);
sos.close();
</pre>
</code>
i then call this jsp from the jsp to which i forward in my action using a simple url rewrite with file name on the url.
<a href=outputWriter.jsp?fileName=nameOfFileToDownload

In the metadata settings i can find the file size in pix. is it possible to see the size in inches?

in the metadata settings i can find the file size in pix. is it possible to see the size in inches?

Yes, that is one way to do it. But you can also do it by doing some simple math. For instance, let's say the you have an image that is 4000 x 6000 pixels. It doesn't matter whether resolution setting is in the file. The image is still 4000 x 6000 pixels. But you can decide what resolution you are going to export your copy. And you would do that for its intended purpose. If you are going for a high quality print then you would probably want 300 PPI in your export settings. With the example I've given the size print you can get had 300 PPI would be as follows:
4000 (pixels) / 300 (PPI) = 13.333 Inches
6000 (pixels) / 300 (PPI) = 20 inches
So if you were really precise in needing a 300 PPI print you can get one that is 13 x 20".
If you are preparing for display on the screen, the higher resolution isn't needed. Using the same math:
4000 / 72 = 55.55 inches
6000 / 72 = 83.33 inches
By doing some simple math in your head you can determine the resolution that you need and the size that you need and set up your export accordingly.
Technically speaking a digital image doesn't have a size other than pixel dimensions. Everything else has to be determined by the resolution that you need for the intended purpose of the final image.
