Cannot download from safari any files.

Hope someone can help, I'm unable to download any files, get the spinning wheel then a plain dark grey screen, then it times out. I checked my internet plug ins and i don't have any third party plug ins. I've also trashed my downloads plist but no joy. Finally I have also tried changing the download location to desktop, then changing back to downloads, but still no luck. Has anyone else had the same trouble? I cannot even download firefox as an alternative because it won't even allow me to download this file. I'm running most up to date version of snow leopard and safari 4. Really stuck please help thanks.

Well, you went a bit overboard on removing things. You definitely need these for Safari to run properly:
JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
Quartz Composer.webplugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
The others are all optional, depending upon what other software you may have installed. One or a combination of them is probably the cause of the inability to download files in your user account, but unless you installed them in the new user account you created, it doesn't explain downloads not working in that account.
Try adding the Internet Plug-Ins back one at a time, starting Safari and testing for the problem each time, then quitting and adding another one and repeating the process until you're unable to download a file. That last item added back is one of the culprits, and if you still have more you haven't added back for testing, one or more of them could also be contributing factors.
You may have a version that is simply incompatible with Snow Leopard, so you should check the site for a compatible version and install that. If there is no compatible version, you'll have to do without it until there is one.

My iOS customers cannot download the video clips I send via Adobe Send "Safari cannot download this type of file"

My customers who use iOS cannot download the video files I send by Adobe Send "Safari cannot download this type of file" is the report they get. I have tried created a zip file of the clip but get the same result. Please help

This error seems to point at a problem not directly related to the encoding. The message might be misleading but I read "Safari cannot download this type of file" as relating to the file type - the end of the name (perhaps MIME type setup, but let's start with the file type).
But... some web searching finds others say that iOS cannot download files AT ALL because it has no filing system you can access. Clearly (?) you just want it to show the movie, but I don't know any more than that.
Perhaps someone else has worked in this area. Also worth trying suitable iOS forum.

HT1338 exe files won't open after downloaded from Safari on my Mac OS X 10.4.11

exe files won't open after downloaded from Safari on my Mac OS X 10.4.11

I use the free Unarchiver: http://unarchiver.c3.cx/unarchiver
I have just tested it on a self-extracting Windows Internet Explorer and it opened it first time on my Mac.
However, as you have been told, normally Windows executable files cannot be opened or used on Macs.

Also, Im a photographer, so I like to name a lot of files at the same time (used to do in on PC and it was very usefull.) cannot find out how to do it on my Mac. Really appretiate if some one can give me a solution! Thanx

Your drive is formatted with the NTFS file system. OS X can read but not write to the NTFS file system. There are third party drivers available that claim to add the ability to OS X to write to an NTFS partition. I have not tried them and don't know if they work.
The only file system that OS X and Windows can both write to natively is the FAT32 file system.

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "Awesome Screenshot" then remove it. No my Internet is not working, my Safari simply hangs

I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "awesome Screenshot" couple of days ago and then decided to remove it from the system . Since then the awesome icon does not appear But my Safari is suffering as it is not loading the pages.Please help

Try removing any other extensions and plugins and if that works introduce them one at a time, you may find it is one of those causing the problem.
If that does not work create a new post, this one being closed will gather less interest and someone who as an answer could miss it.

I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
Any ideas ...Please!

Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

It isn't possible on that OS. You need to upgrade the computer's OS or use a different web browser.

Cannot read from the source file or disk

I had to get a new hard drive for my Satellite A665 old one kept freezing up; had a recovey disk from Geek Squad when I got it but they did not work. So I ordered a Recovery Disc set from Toshiba.
A few minutes after I insert the 3nd disc, I get the following message:
Cannot read from the source file or disk
PREINST14.SWM
Type: SWM File
Size: 670 MB
Modified: 10/29/2010 11:24pm
Clicking [Try Again] or [Skip] clicked try again twice. Gave same message so clicked skip. Got another message.

An error has occurred.
Error: 10-FC06-0002
Recovery Error.
Please press [OK] to turn off the computer.
I tried erasing the disk, then running the Recovery Wizard again, but wind up in the same place.

It's hard to know exactly what the problem is. You might want to contact customer support because it could just be a faulty disc.

I should also ask what it was you purchased. Movies sometimes come in two formats, SD and HD and you may end up with both.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for purchased movies - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1906

Go into your account in the App Store, sign out, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.], go back to the Apps Store, sign in and try again.

My computer is converting downloads from a ppt file into a pps?

How do I stop my computer from converting downloads from a ppt file into a pps? When I download PowerPoint presentations from online for class my computer is converting the ppt files into a pps, even though I have PowerPoint. It used to download ppt files fine until recently.

Yep, this happens. I have not found a way to keep the files from downloading as a ,pps. So I use a work around. Find where you have the downloaded file. It should look something like "slides.ppt.pps." Click on the file name to edit and erase the .pps. You'll see a dialog box that asks you if you really want to eliminate the .pps. Say yes and it will be removed from the name and you can then load into PowerPoint. Hope it works for you.
