Cannot download files from web sites using 4.0, and slower. Do I need to prep my Mac in any way prior to installing 4.0?

I use browser to grab small game programs off various websites, which then run on apps I have installed. When I attempt to download these files in version 4, I get an "unknown error has occurred" pop-up, & no file. This has not been an issue w/previous version.
Am I required to change any system prefs after installing 4.0? I have de-installed and gone back to previous system until I know what the issue is... odd, all other upgrade installs have been easy and simple.
4.0 also runs notably slower.

  • Errors when downloading files from web sites

    I cannot download files from Firefox anymore on my home computer. I click on the download link and it takes me to another page that is blank. I can download just fine w/o any problems from my work computer, download box/window appears just fine. I'm using the same Windows 7, Firefox 8.0 program and same website that gives me the error message from my home computer. Is there a pop-up blocker, cookie or plug-in that I need to turn off/on? How do I enable downloads so I can save to my home computer?

    Clear cache and cookies and try again. Also, check your firewall permissions for Firefox 8

  • User download files from web site

    I have files I want to allow users to download from my site.
    Problem is that I just don't know how to do that. And does
    Dreamweaver make that it possible?

    Deja vu all over again...
    To force a download without using Zip files, you will need to
    run a server
    side script - the flavor depends on which programming
    languages your server
    supports.
    This one uses php.

    Otherwise, search www.HotScripts.com for other Forced
    Download scripts that
    will work on your server.

  • Using AMP to download and save FLV files from web sites?

    I thought I had heard months ago that this new media player was going to allow you to download and save the FLV files from web sites like YouTube and others, where a direct download while possible, isn't the easiest thing to currently do. But I don't really see any way in this new media player to download and save files from web sites....it's plenty willing to play them if they're already saved on your hard drive, but I thought one of the reasons for Adobe building this was to make it easier to get them in the first place?

    I'd have to agree. This is one of the most useless products I have seen from a company of this standard. Why they continue to provide this product as an example of what can be done with AIR, is bewildering.  Myself and others have posted over and over again that the player deletes the saved movies at some random time, an hour or two hours after they appear to be saved.
    What is the point of having a 'saved' icon the CD ICON if that movie will be deleted   FOR NO BLOODY reason.  I just wasted 400 mb of my quota dowloading moves 3 times...!! just to realise that the application deletes them from the VERY CACHE that it copies them to.
    Adobe, if this is what I can expect while trying to view the tutorials for FLEX what will the development experience be like. Myself and others are fed up with posting this bug to Adobe, just to be ignored. How much stress to do you want on your servers before you WAKE UP.
    I have been in 4 meetings over the last 2 weeks and everyone has remarked about the 'experience' trying to view these tutorials.
    Wake up to yourself. If you want to charge $500 for FLEX then atleast fix this crappy player.
    PS. I note that this player is supposedly built with Flex and that the list control truncates rather than wraps, in addition, no 'tool tips',  dates are not localised, the video keeps unpausing itself each time I return from the downloads page, no settings for where files should be cached. Occasionally the underlining (grey) window bar appears over the top of the flash window edge.  I've used the application for an hour or so...
    Where is the alternative... I'll be glad when Adobe get some real competition.. so that they pay attention to input.  A big wastefull site if all support does is read and ignore posts.!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 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...)

  • Where can i get an example of Viewing wap, downloading files from wap site?

    as we know, almost every simulator has this function. now i wanna write the same function via MIDP, how?
    And, anyone know nextel i730, it's very weird that it cannot download file from the wap site but other phones can do it from the same site.
    any help would be appreciated.

    WAP = HTTP. Just open a http page in midp and read the data. Displaying WAP in MIDP is another thing, since it does not have facilities for that. Why should it anyway? All phones that hava java, already have a W(AP/EB) browser.

  • Cannot download apps from App Store using iPhone 6

    Cannot download applications from App Store using my iPhone 6, and when I made a sign out, I cannot sign in, even I asked to reset my Apple ID account by e-mail, but I did not receive any feedback by mails yet, while I can access the App Store, and download apps using my old iPhone 4, and my iPad Air using the same account.
    I Stuck now, and what I read cannot help me, as I cannot sign in even.

  • 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!!

  • Download files from web to client

    Hi,
    I am trying to download txt file from the web and save it on the client using webutil_file_transfer.url_to_client. I am experiencing some problem which is connected to web util and says: The WEBUTIL object group is not available in this Form. WEBUTIL can not work.WebUtil error: oracle.forms.webutil.filetransfer.filetransfer.
    Can somebodey suggest what is the problem or any other solution for downloading files from url and saving them on the client?

    OK guys, i have done everything and web util finally (probably) works fine because i don't receive any error messages. Despite this i still cant download the file on the client machine.
    ps. I don't receive any error message
    here is the sample code , so you can try it if you want and suggest something
    DECLARE
    flag BOOLEAN;
    BEGIN
    flag :=
    webutil_file_transfer.url_to_client
    ('http://igor.pandurski.googlepages.com/CIIT-Molika-2007-WebServicesforInsur.pdf',

  • 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.

  • 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?
