Cannot download any files from Safari 6.0.1 (Mountain Lion)

Hi, I have had an ongoing issue with downloading files from Safari 6.0.1. When I click any links (even from emails) to download various files from pdfs, zips to photos, firmware etc, Safari opens a new tab with the file URL in the navigation bar. However, the tab is a blank gray window, and the download does not begin. I have been copy pasting the links into firefox and the downloads work fine. Would rather be using safari though and its rather annoying to be opening a separate browser anytime I need to download a file. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Select Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins from the Safari menu bar. Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
iPhotoPhotocast
Java
QuickTime
Shockwave Flash
WebKit built-in PDF

I cant download any file from safari on my ipad 3 WI-FI it gives me safari can't download this file

I can't download any file from safari on my ipad 3 why
It gives me : safari cant download this file

Hi Morning mist,
If the app did not specifically indicate that it was available from the iTunes & App Stores then, as Diavonex indicated, you cannot download it.
The App Store has 2 free Heartmath apps for the iPad - Inner Balance, and HeartQuotes HD. You can click on your App Store icon and find them under Heartmath in the Categories search bar.
Not sure what you might have paid for?
Cheers,

Cannot download any files from Sharepoint site to Samsung Note 2

Hi,
Can anybody tell me why a user would be able to download files to their samsung note 2 phone from email etc, but not from a SharePoint 2013 website that they have been authenticated for?
thanks,
Sherazad

Hi Sherazad,
Please provide more information about the issue.
Firstly ensure the file could be open from PC machine. Could you open the file from mobile browser? If you couldn’t download to mobile device, did you receive any error message? Does the issue occurs to all user or all mobile device?

Unable to download any files in safari despite having 18.5 GB available

Help! When I try and download any file from Safari I get the following message;
"Safari could not download the file "File name" because there is not enough free disk space"
with the following advice,
"Try deleting documents or downloading to another disk."
It does not allow me to download to another disk. Surely there is something amiss? Please help...

You normally need admin rights to be able to install/copy things into the Applications folder - I'm guessing the current user you are using isn't an admin?
Most people set a specific downloads folder somewhere on their drive to keep all the 'clutter' together, but each to their own

I have Elements 9 and cannot download NEF files from my new Nikon1 v1, any help appreciated

I have Elements 0 and cannot download NEF files from my new Nikon1 V1, any help is appreciated.

PSE 9 is too old for any of the versions of ACR that support the 1 V1. You have three options:
1. Upgrade to PSE 10 or 11.
2. Use the Nikon software to convert the raw files and send the resulting tiffs to PSE for further editing.
3. Try the free Adobe DNG converter, and you should be able to open the resulting DNGs in your version of ACR.

HT5701 Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4?

Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
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.

I can not download any files using Safari ? when I choose to download application file the URL include the file name and stop responding. Any help??

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

I cannot download any app from my iPhone 5.
