Please help, I can't download anything from safari

More specificially, you may only download files that may be opened by another app. First install an app that handles the type of file you want to download.

I can't download pdfs from links

Ever since I upgraded my Macintosh from system X.3 to X.4, I can't download a pdf that is accessed via a hyperlink in a web page. I can download a pdf attachment that I've received as e-mail, but if I click a link with a URL that ends in <PDF>, I just get a new, empty tab.

Is it that you are not able to view pdf in Safari? What exactly is the problem?

IPad cannot download PDFs from Safari.

My brand-new iPad cannot download PDF files from my class website on Safari. I was wondering if there was any kind of downloading application I needed to install first. Any thoughts? When I touch the file icon, a little window appears saying "Download failed: Safari cannot download this file."

Can't print pdf from safari

Ive been having this issue forever
When I need to print a PDF file, I cannot do so from Safari. It just comes up blank pages.
If I go to another browser like Chrome, I have no problems.
Anyone know why or what I can do?
It seems Safari causes so many problems in addition to this one that I seem to have to use other browsers more and more

Also, the little printing window that usually pops up on the dock when you print something and then quits itself after printing doesn't quit itself anymore. I have to actually select it and quit it myself. It's very annoying.

Hope this helps.

Can't save PDFs from Safari or Firefox after latest (10.1.3) update

I just installed the latest update, and now when I open a PDF in Safari, I can't save it to my computer. I get a message saying "The document XXX.pdf could not be exported as XXX." When I try to do it from Firefox, the PDF won't even open. I tried deleting the plugins and reinstalling Reader and that didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi mccradks1,
Regarding firefox, update it to version 10.0 or later and use it in 32-bit mode only.
To save pdf's in safari, please try using the save button in toolbar and see if it works.
Toolbar is present in two different forms:
1.
2. This toolbar appears when you hover the mouse at bottom of pdf screen.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Why I can't download attachments from safari, why I can't download attachments from safari

I can't download attachments of office, from my e-mail

Is there anyway to keep the download in the page like in the past arrow stay in the right upper corner.
That's a good question. So, you would like to know if you can have the "Show Downloads" button, as illustrated above, always remain visible. I will answer the quesiton accordingly as this is how I understood it, correct me if I am wrong please.
The direct answer is no. There is a logic reason for this though.
If you clear your downloads from the list the icon disappears because there is no longer a list to view. The downloads however are not gone they are only absent from this list or log as it were. The downloaded files remain in your preferred or default downloads folder, which ever one is set.
No point in viewing a blank list so no icon. However; the moment you download another file, it will re-appear.
On a further note, the list is limited to a certain number so don't expect to be able to see a list spanning every download you've ever made.
By the way, try to right click something from the list, some options to trigger the selection will appear. It would be nice if the available triggers would change depending on the type of file you are right clicking over.
If you move a downloaded file to the trash and follow-up by emptying the trash, Safari's downloads continues to show the trashed file because it does not know that the file was trashed, unless, as an exmaple you right click the said item from the list and choose "Show in Finder". The following message will appear.
In Safari's Help menu, type "Download". You will find some more good help topics for further inquiry.
Cheers!

How do I download PDFs from Safari by default?

I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window. I know it can be done, worked before I installed a new drive. But I don't remember what to do to make downloading the default.
Thanks!

I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window.
What version of Mac OS X are you running, and what version of Safari? There is no default behavior to download a PDF file; you can only do that by Control-clicking on the link for the file and choosing to download it.

Can't download .pdfs from web - Standard

Have standard 7.0 and it worked fine for years but recently it will not download pdf files from the web. Locks up IE and Mozilla when I try. Opens pdf's fine from local drive just a problem with the web downloads. Removed and reloaded Acrobat 7.0. No change. Downloaded ActiveX control - no change. Any ideas out there????

What version of Acrobat 7. Hopefully not 7.0.0 since there were many bug fixes. What version of Windows? What service packs? What version of MSIE? What version of Mozilla? Were there any recent Windows updates that you installed prior to things going wonky? Also, if running Windows XP, what firewall software and what virus protection?

Can not download PDFs to Safari or Firefox. 27" iMac running 10.8.2. Have disabled two Adobe plug ins per search in community. Did not work. Dowloads fine on other computer (older iMac, 10.6.8). Advice appreciated. Lyman

New iMac 27" running 10.8.2. Can not dowload PDFs. Have taken two Adobe plugins out of library (as suggested in comments I found last night). Did not fix proglem. Older iMac running 10.6.8 sitting next to new one can download fine. Then have to move downloads to new machine to use them. Thanks for help and suggestions. Lyman

My own answer. This was solved by a simple restart of the computer. This is the second time in a week that a restart has been needed to resolve "refuseal to work" type problems. I don't recall restarting being a regular fix in earlier OSs.Hope this doesn't become a standard fix as that could be really tedious. Lyman.

So can i download music from safari not to buy from itunes? thanks for the answear

can i download music?

There are legitimate sites where you can download free music. Also, I thing there are apps for the iPod to download free music. Google from them.
However, the only way to get music in the iPod's Music app is to either purchase it from the iTunes store or import into iTunes library on your computer and sync.

I can't open downloaded pdfs from safari

When I download a file from an internet site. I cannot open it and I get an error message "safari cannot open because no available application can open it" It is just a pdf document.
Also, when I try to open documents from my documents files, I get a similar message saying "The application preview can't be opened"

I was going to ask you to post a screenshot, but that doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Below the Open with menu, there should be a Change All button. You don't have it?

I can't open pdf from safari. I get a blank black page

On a Mac, I can right click if the option is available and download to downloads and open that way but I can't click on a link that is a pdf and it open. It loads a blank black page. Am I missing a plug in? What? IT is driving me crazy.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. <br>
See '''Creating a profile''':

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem <br>

HT2672 Download PDFs from Safari and Mail

This does not work for me. When I try to download the linked file, all I get is a irrelevant html web page. This happens with pdf links in Apple Mail and Safari. What happened to my pdfs I used to be able to download in Firefox and MS Entourage?

Did a few more things, went in to Font Book and ran a validation of all fonts. Several (21) were shown to have a "problem" so I removed them from the computer but it didn't resolve my issue. Additionally, I'm seeing other quirky things happening with Mail.app failing to stay connected to Exchange 2010 server and stopps pulling down email. I thought maybe it was rules as I ran into this issue on Lion several months ago so I removed all rules (disabling them didn't seem to matter) and have also removed MailTags and MailActOn from Indev. Still no resolution to the missing icons and this is really a problem for me. I don't want to have to reinstall Mac but I guess if I have to, I have to.
