Cannot Download files from internet on my main account

I have had my macbook for about 3 months, and recently i havent been able to download files from the internet on my main account...i have had to switch between accounts. Is there anyway to fix this? Or to transfer all my files from one account to another? any help would be greatly appreciated
Justin

That sounds odd...
Any error messages? What happens when you try to download an item? Have you tried downloading to a specific, non-desktop, folder?

With Firefox 4, I cannot download files from the internet. Please help me !

I cannot download files from the internet (with Firefox 4). I was able to until this upgrade. I am disappointed.
The site specifically is www.c64g.com/games.php?q=p

What buttons do you get to click on with this message? What browser are you using (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer...)

Problems with Yahoo, I Cannot download files from my mail or logout from my account.

Recently, I have discovered that I cannot logout from my Yahoo account without closing Firefox, which clears my history. Also, I have problems downloading files from my email. At first I thought maybe Yahoo was having some issues but when I use Safari, I don't have these problems. Any idea as to what my problem could be?

I can't think any way in which Adobe Reader is involved in downloading pics from your camera. If you think Adobe is involved, check the name of the Adobe software you are using, they make lots of stuff.

I cannot download files from some websites

Since upgrading to ver 5.0, I cannot download statements from many of my financial websites. I am forced to start IE or Opera to download. Sometimes I am able to right click the link, and do 'Save Link as' and it will download, but not all. My Verizon bill is the latest failure today. When I clock on the link, I get a new tab opening that shows 'about:blank' in the web link, and says 'done' in the status bar. It does nothing after that.

When reading about the antivirus, I didn't equate that to the iPhone. Since antivirus software cannot run in the background on an iPhone, that isn't it and if pop-up blockers was enabled before I doubt that has anything to do with it either.
Is the statement in PDF format?

Cannot download files from certain websites: log-in prompt

Hi, I am for some reason getting a log-in prompt when clicking on downloadable files from certain websites (pdf files, etc.). It is especially strange because it is happening on multiple sites, which gave me no problem downloading in the past. This is particular to my computer, and it is happening in different locations, so it can't be a problem with my isp or something.
I am getting this prompt:
"To view this page, you need to log in to area "PAGE TITLE" on "www.address.com:80"
Your password will be sent in the clear."
(Where PAGE TITLE and address.com are specific to the page I'm trying to access)
I've tried giving a username and password, but it didn't work. I tried emptying my cache and deleting cookies, renewing my ip address, to no avail. I do not use any proxies, so I am really confused now.
I've found no documentation of anyone else having this issue.
Any help would be appreciated!

i figured it out... it was just a strange coincidence, nothing wrong after all.

Cannot download files from the internet

Two G4 Macs, both on OS 10.4.6. Desktop (ethernet connection) will not download files/apps -- hit the button and it very quickly flickers and says "done" but nothing has downloaded. Laptop (Airport connection) will download correctly from the same sites. Have repaired permissions, and have tried turning off firewall (Norton) with no result. Obviously some setting in the desktop, but I'm perplexed...
G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Michael,
hit the button and it very quickly flickers and says "done" but nothing has downloaded
That description sounds like a bad/incompatible SpeedDownload installation. Do you recall installing that in the past?
Either way, try going to http://www.yazsoft.com -> Downloads and then download the installer by control-clicking/right-clicking on the download link and choose "Download Linked File". Once downloaded, run the installer, but select the Uninstall option.
Give your browsers a restart and retry after trying the uninstallation.
Edit: All Comp's are Model T's, try the same procedure as well. Hopefully $5 will be on their way to me

How to get the functionality of downloading files from internet on my jsp

i have a jsp page that lists me the names of the zip files in a paricular directory on a remote computer over the network.wat i want to do is download those files.so when i click on them it gives me "page cannot be displayed" error.but when i go to that remote machine and run the same jsp to list me the files and download the same it allows me to download the files.but i want the same functionality over the network.so i think that that link is looking for that file locally instead of looking for them over the network.so is it so that i need to give the ip of the remote machine from where i want to download the file and if yes then how and if no then is there any way that i can do it some other way.
in short this functionality is like downloading some file from the net like downloading software or music....i want to incorporate the same on my jsp.please guide me.

You can try this, Give the URL from where you want to Download.......
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class DnldURL {
public static void main (String[] args) {
URL u;
InputStream is = null;
DataInputStream dis;
String s;
try {
u = new URL("http://username:[email protected]:8080/files/for/me/file.txt");
is = u.openStream(); // throws an IOException
dis = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(is));
while ((s = dis.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
} catch (MalformedURLException mue) {
System.out.println("Ouch - a MalformedURLException happened.");
mue.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Oops- an IOException happened.");
ioe.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
Here in the URL we will give username and password, if the remote system is password protected.

Win 7,Acrobat pro 9, Repaired, operational but cannot download forms from internet

Does anyone know how to fix above problem? Acrobat Pro 9 will work with all forms on hard drive or emaile in PDF format. But on internet when trying to download. Acrobat window opens with blank black screen and no File listed or available Ran repair numerous times. Also cannot install Adobe reader to assist in acquisition of PDF formated files from any internet source. Why me???

There is no reason to download Reader, AA9 should be able to do the job, unless someone put something very specific to AA X in their form (bad form in most cases). You have have an issue with a plugin to your browser, not Acrobat. Sometimes, the plugin is separate as I understand it. You should still be able to right click on the form and select to save it or open it with a specific application rather than in a browser window.

At times I cannot download files from Firefox, but I can in IE

Hello,
My problem is twofold. Firstly at least once in three, I cannot download my attachments from gmail. What happens is the download window flashes up for a half second. Then it disappears. The file is NOT downloaded in the appropriate folder (or anywhere else), I have checked that.
Secondly, I am trying to listen to a radio station from the website below, but anytime I click on the Listen link, nothing happens except for the download window flashing for a half second. Then it disappears. I can only assume it is a .pls file as most internet radios have a file with such an extension for their playlist.
Both errors have been occuring since the update of 3.6.10.
Thanks for any insight.

The eLocity A7 tablet you have should technically work with the mobile Firefox.
It has Android 2.2 and most importantly a ARMv7 type of cpu, a NVIDIA Tegra II T20 and it has 512MB RAM.
mbrubeck who works on mobile Firefox has been recommending to try the Firefox 9 Beta's because it includes a new interface designed especially for Android tablets.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta
Current mobile Firefox 9.0 Beta 4 for Android (will need to manually update):
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/9.0b4/android/multi/fennec-9.0b4.multi.eabi-arm.apk
mobile Firefox 8.0 for Android:

Downloaded file from internet and now I can't find it

So my dumb *** downloaded a file from the internet today from an untrusted source and now I can't find it anywhere except for when I click on the downloads button on the safari web browser (i.e. )
I clicked on the file it shows that I downloaded and this pops up
"Safari can’t show the file “4-More-PeopleAreUsingCellPhonestoListentoOnlineRadioinTheirCars.xlsx” in the Finder because “4-More-PeopleAreUsingCellPhonestoListentoOnlineRadioinTheirCars.xlsx” has moved since you downloaded it."
I looked for it in the finder window under the "downloads" folder, looked under "All my files" sorted it by the date added, clicked on the magnifying glass next to the only place I can see it and the file still didnt show up in finder.
help, anyone?

I have no idea why it disappeared from your Mac. But I trust this reassures you there does not seem to be anything malicious about the file.
You might want to search on your Mac using some of the key words in the file.
Not that I am denying the results but out of curiousity how did you manage to download and locate the file when I didn't provide you with the website from which I downloaded it from?
The thing is, what I supposedly downloaded wasn't supposed to be an xlsx file nor any type of text file for that matter. I got it from a website called ryushare.com.
I also tried to search for it with the use of the key words in the file you found and no luck. Any way to know for a fact it's not going to affect my computer? Also, any way I can look for the file and delete it through terminal?
Thanks again Eustace

Cannot Download Files from Certain Web Site

There is a website I must use for work quite often. Whenever I try to download or open a file from the site, I get the following error:
Safari can't open the file.
Safari can't open the file ""2010 Pennsylvania Release Notes.pdf" because ""2010 Pennsylvania Release Notes.pdf" has moved since you downloaded it.
I am using a Windows XP machine and these files work fine with any other browser. I really want to make Safari my default browser, but it is out of the question as long as this continues to happen with Safari alone.

I just noticed, when I try downloading a PDF file using Safari from this website, it puts a " in front of the file name. It does not do this with any other browser. I think this may be what is causing the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!!

Computer freezes and I cannot download files from PC to droid!

Any thoughts on why my pc locks up when I connect the Droid?? Also, I am unable to download any files; music, pics,ect..!! I contacted HTC, to no avail! I re-set factory settings, (lost all my contacts) re-booted. Nothing!   Any one have a similar scenario?? Help

Check JYoon’s post on disabling CD ROM mode on your device. (Post below)
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-Incredible-by-HTC/Computer-connection-issue-MAC/td-p/299898
2. Once complete, put your device in Mass storage mode. I have provided the instruction in an article below:
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=31795
Connect the phone to your computer using the supplied USB cable.
2.      When the Connect to PC dialog box appears, tap Disk drive, and then tap Done.
3.      On your computer, the connected phone is recognized as a removable disk. Navigate to this removable disk and open it.
4.      Do one of the following:
Copy the files from the computer to the phone’s storage card’s root folder. Copy the files from the phone’s storage card to a folder in your computer or computer desktop.
5.       After copying the files, un-mount the removable disk (that is, the connected phone) as required by your computer’s operating system to safely remove your phone.
6.         Do one of the following:
Disconnect the phone from the computer. If you want to keep the phone connected to the computer but want the phone to be able to access the storage card, open the Notifications panel, tap Disk drive, select an option except Disk drive, and then tap Done. See “Opening the Notifications panel” in this chapter to learn how to open the Notifications panel.
*Once in mass storage mode, the device should pop up on your computer as a device letter. If not, or if your computer freezes up again, try another USB port.
*Also try restarting your computer.

Cannot download files from services like Rapidgator any longer

Use Firefox as my browser. High speed connection via Comcast on a 1-year old HP laptop running Windows-7, protected by Kaspersky.
This just started yesterday afternoon - when trying to "Download" a File from services like RAPIDGATOR
when I hit the "Download" button it just goes to "Searching" and the file never opens. This is also happening with other file services I subscribe to. I have already deleted my "History" and "Cookies" and it did not help. Also tried to download with Kaspersky turned off, that did not help.
any ideas?

We are experiencing some proxy issues, this bump should be cleared up shortly with version 18.0.1 to land.
Thank You!

Cannot download files from filesonic

I cannon download a file from Filesonic using the "slow download" button. Normally when in click on the the "slow download" it take me to screen where I have to wait 30 seconds. With the latest upgrade this no longer happens.

That sounds odd...
