Cannot download GPS Almanac files from navcen.uscg.gov

Cannot download GPS almanac files (current.alm) from NAVCEN. response from NAVCEN says:Greetings,
Thank you for contacting the USCG Navigation Center with this issue. We were able to duplicate your issue using Firefox version 3.6. Further testing using earlier versions of Firefox (3.5 and 3.0) and Internet Explorer encountered no issues downloading and saving the GPS almanac files.
There are many reports of similar downloading issues from other sources on the Mozilla support forums with possible solutions to try so it appears to be a software/web browser issue and we recommend you try another browser or a different version of your current browser and see if that resolves the issue.

That's an odd one. The site is not much help either. There is a list of plugins and/or viewers that they claim are used for documents on the site: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=plugIns (the link is at the bottom right corner of the main page, "Download plug-ins").
Note that those saying "...Viewer 2003" are out of date; the current versions are "...Viewer 2007" and are available free on the Microsoft site: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=site:microsoft.com+viewer+2007&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
I tried to load into:
Foxit Reader (substitute for Adobe Reader/Acrobat): No go
Open Office Calc (substitute for MS Excel): had to parse into 2 columns of descriptive text and numbers
PowerPoint Viewer 2007: no go

The file will not open in Firefox but will open the Word application and display the download there; save it from Word if you want to keep the file.
When the screen opens to Open or Save file, choose Browse, browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office1# and click on winword.exe ; if you want it to handle all .alm files in Word in the future, check the box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on".

  • Hi. I have Lightroom 4 installed. I cannot download my CR2 files from the Canon 5D Mark III camera. I have downloaded Lightroom 5 thinking it was an update but it appears I have to pay for the program. Any ideas how I can get lightroom 4 to accept my CR2

  • Cannot download or save files from the internet

    I have the Satellite L675-S7115.  When I get any email with an attachment or go to the internet to download it will not allow me to download or save the file to the computer.  The message remains on the bottom of the screen until I log off the internet and return.  I can sometimes view the file on-line such as a word or excel doc. but can't download.  I'm using Kaspersky virus software.  The computer started doing this about 4 months ago and I've been able to use my desktop as a work around.  I haven't changed virus protection and I've gone to the control panel to see if the security was set low enough for me to get the downloads.  If anyone has any advise please help. I've looked at other posts with similar problems but haven't found an answer.    Thanks

  • I downloaded an Adobe file from my email but cannot find it on my hard drive or in recycle bin - it's in downloads but am unable to open from downloads - how can I recover the file?

    I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?

    Thanks Rob.
    I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
    I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

  • Cannot open a raw file from my Nikon D800,,,i have downloaded every and i mean every version of raw

    i am up to raw 8.3,,still getting an error message,,,frustrated,,,but still shooting in Tiff,,,would love to see a raw file open

    Unreadable on my computer. I also use a D800, so I know my computer can read them.
    Opening it up in a binary editor, I see the magic words "Nikon Transfer 1.1", which you've already been asked about twice.
    You need to update this software, or use something else. Old versions of Nikon Transfer are known to corrupt recent Nikon cameras' files.

    for info on updating or disabling it.
    You will need to download the raw files from the cards again, once you've fixed the problem.
    Personally, I stick my cards in a card reader and use Adobe Photodownloader, which is part of Bridge (which comes with Photoshop).

    iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
    iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
    A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
    As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

  • I cannot download a pdf file that was sent to me.

    I cannot download a pdf file that was sent to me.

    Sent from where? By whom? It may not be a PDF at all, just a virus in disguise. That aside, we need some system info at least...

  • Cannot open nikon raw files from my 3200 in elements 8

    i cannot open nikon raw files from my 3200 in elements 8

    You would need PSE11 since the 3200 requires ACR version 7.1
    Only PSE11 can have 7.1, so to be able to use your raw files with PSE9 you should download the free Adobe DNGconverter which can batch convert a whole folder of raw files into the Adobe raw DNG format which your PSE8 can open.

    You can download and install on your system from Adobe's website.  Have you already opened the box you have received?  If not, you can return it for an exchange.  In the meantime you can download the trial version from this link:
    <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=en_gb>
    I am not sure if the Windows Serial number will work on your Mac system.
    Good luck.

  • I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

    I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

    Did you ever figure out what happened?
    I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
    Thanks.

  • How to download a .pdf file from a JavaMail application?

    hi to all,
    iam unable to download a .pdf file from a mailserver using
    my javamail application.i have downloaded all kind of files except .pdf.
    my code snipnet:
    public static void dumpPart(Part p) throws Exception {
    //     if (p instanceof Message)          dumpEnvelope((Message)p);
              System.out.println("CONTENT-TYPE: " + p.getContentType());
              Object o = p.getContent();
              if (o instanceof String) {
                   System.out.println("This is a String");
                   System.out.println((String)o);
                   } else if (o instanceof Multipart) {
                        System.out.println("This is a Multipart");
                        Multipart mp = (Multipart)o;
                        int count = mp.getCount();
    System.out.println("****************************************");
    System.out.println("count" + count);
    System.out.println("****************************************");
                        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++){
                             System.out.println("CONTENT-TYPE: " + p.getContentType());
                             dumpPart(mp.getBodyPart(i));
                        } else if (o instanceof InputStream) {
                             System.out.println("This is just an input stream");
                             InputStream is = (InputStream)o;
                             String filename=System.currentTimeMillis()+".exe     ";
                             FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(filename);
                             int c;
                             while ((c = is.read()) != -1)
                                  //System.out.write(c);
                                  fos.write((char)c);
    }//dumpPart
    what's wrong with this code?

    fos.write((char)c);Converting the byte to a char is unnecessary and probably harmful. Just do this: fos.write(c);

  • Download a text file from JSP (Urgent Please!)

    Hi,
    I have a issue with this JSP, I need to download a txt file from my webserver to the pc client, the page shows the dialg box but appear the filename (list.jsp) of my jsp instead of the txt file.
    If I click the save buton save the list.jsp page; if I click in the open buton, then appear again the dialg box and now appear the url (download.jsp?filename=...) and if I click in the save button now I can save my txt file in the local pc.!!!!
    Any ideas ??
    list.jsp --> is the jsp from the download.jsp is run.
    download.jsp
    <%@ page import="java.io.*,javax.servlet.*,java.util.* "%><% String filename = request.getParameter("filename");
    response.setContentType("application/download");
    String value = "attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\";" ;
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",value);
    int iRead;
    FileInputStream stream = null;
    try {
    File f = new File("C://test//" + filename);
    stream = new FileInputStream(f);
    while ((iRead = stream.read()) != -1) {
    out.write(iRead);
    out.flush();
    finally {
    if (stream != null) {
    stream.close();
    %>

    Maybe try no quotes around the content disposition header?
    Also, I'm not sure that application/download would be the best content type, maybe "application/octet-stream" instead. You should also probably explicitly set the Content-Length header to the file size.

  • Downloading an XML file from Website through BPEL/ADAPTER

    Hi,
    I want to download an xml file from one webpage through BPEL. I am using jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 to create a BPEL process and Adapters.
    Is there anyway to download the xml file from the site through FUSION middleware.

    what do you mean download, is it a site where you click a hyperlink then down load the file.
    This is not possible as this is invoked by human intervention. SOA suite is invoked by events. If you want to perform this kind of function you would need to create a jave service to perform this.
    Is there any posibility that there is a FTP link that you could use?
    cheers

    How can i download the xml file from the site through FUSION middleware?

    Another option would be to write a smal Java class the uses URLConnect to connect to the URL in question and use WSIF to bind it to the BPEL process.
    Just google for sample code.
