Can't open gmail attachment in safari, OS X 10.8.2

Hi,
I just got my new macbook air and updated to OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I can't download attachments in Gmail. I click on "download" next to a file, but nothing happens. I can sometimes work around it by clicking "view", then "download original", but there has to be a simpler fix, no?

Thanks for your reply, Sig. They are not in my downloads folder. I tried changing the safari preferences to save downloaded files to desktop, just to make sure i wasn't missing them somewhere, but still nothing. But when I click on "view", then "download original" they will appear on the desktop. Weird.

I can´t open Gmail on Safari! Help!

Hello,
I can´t open Gmail on my Safari. I already updated it and reseted it but it still does not work.... what should I do?
Thanks in advance!

What happens when you try?

Can't open gmail in safari

today i can’t open gmail in safari. of course google is of no help. anyone else having this issue today?

By use of direct login to their site for webmail, there is no issue here.
A few days or up to a week ago, there had been reported issues with
gmail and they managed to fix some causes of that problem. Of course
when you aren't using a client software to access webmail, there may
be less issues than when it is set up to negotiate incoming/outgoing
download/uploads.
The problem may be based on your geographic location, too.

When did this start? What was the last thing you changed before problem started?
Have you tried sending the attachment from a different account. Have a friend send you an attachment. Get a gmail account.
Send the email with attachments to two different accounts one to your ipad and the other to a gmail account in a web browser and not on an iPad. See if you can read the ones to the gmail account.
You did reboot your ipad?
Standard stuff for ipad.

Hello Mats in Sweden!
I'm from Austria, not so far away! The file that you've received seems to be a Windows Media File and you may need a special software for your iPad to be able to open it. I've found something HERE.
If you open this link on your iPad it should take you to the App Store, resp. open it. The price for this app is 1,59 €.

Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

I can not open PDF files in safari

I can not open PDF files in safari. How can I fix this problem?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Mountain Lion is the second release of OS X to be delivered via the Mac App Store. Like with Lion, users can create their own bootable USB key installer to use as a recovery disk or to install Mountain Lion on multiple Macs without needing to download the 4GB installer multiple times.
Ars Technica has an excellent walk-through using either the Disk Utility application that is included on every Mac, or the newly updated Lion Diskmaker app that automates the process of creating a bootable install key.
The biggest catch to the whole process is to make a copy of the Mountain Lion installer before actually installing Mountain Lion, otherwise the installer will need to be redownloaded from the Mac App Store.

Can't open any windows in Safari even after re-install

I can't open any windows in Safari, even after installing Snow Leopard, not even the "About Safari" info window. I'm using Firefox to get online. I can open the program itself, but can't do anything else. I'm suspicious that it may be a virus, because I'm getting some weird messages on restart, such as asking me if I want to use some wireless network I never heard of, and if I want to give somebody access to my Twitter account - very strange. My son was using a website when this happened.

Greetings,
I'm suspicious that it may be a virus
Not possible, since there are no viruses for Mac OS X. You should ask your son what site he was one and whether or not he downloaded and installed anything. And you should turn off wireless networking and delete any networks that you didn't specifically setup. Use Ethernet to connect to your modem/router for Internet access.
Are you sure that Twitter is asking to give somebody access to your account, or just authorize them to follow your tweets? I've never seen Twitter do the former for anyone, ever.

I can't open jpegs attached to my email. What can I do?

I can't open jpegs attached to my email. Error messages say "The file “CH02_12_07_08_07_06_01.jpg” could not be opened." and "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." What can I do?

I'm using Mac Mail as my email client. I've tried to open it directly from the attachment in the email, and also saving it to my download folder to open seperately. It will open on a PC with no issue.
Background: The jpg comes from a remote cameral systems I've set up. Any movement that is detected sends me an email notification and a jpg image of the motion from the camera
I've attached a copy of the jpg file in question.

Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

Do you have an example? I develop Google maps for Web pages and haven't had problem with Safari and its extensions, only FF which I took out all the addons and plug-ins, but it wouldn't surprise if the Google map code doesn't display the map or information for the map or doesn't work with newer versions of Safari.

Can't open Gmail in Firefox but Internet Explorer can!

Though my browser deletes everything before it exits out I didn't take any chance and ran CCleaner and in-spite of this I can't open Gmail. Mozilla says Untrusted Connection! Gmail opens fine on Internet Explorer. There are some other websites as well that do not open here. All this started after the last automatic update. Can you guys find a solution for me?

How can I open a PDF in Safari without the screen turning black?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
Depending upon your version of OS X and your version of Safari, as detailed in the Adobe help document links below, Adobe pdf documents created with the latest releases may require an (updated free) Adobe plug-in for Safari, or (free) Adobe Reader in order to display properly.
