Cannot save an MP3 file from a webpage after Leopard upgrade

Hello,
I am a graduate student and my instructor posts his lectures online as mp3 files. When I was using Tiger and Safari, I was able to right click the file and save it to my computer. Now, after I upgraded to Leopard, I right click and attempt to save and I get an error message of "no permissions to read file." If I click on the file, quicktime will play the mP3 in the safari browser but I want to save the file to my computer so I can listen to it through iTunes.
I am able to currently work around this by using Firefox as it allows me to save the file with no problem but I want to use Safari.
Any ideas?
BTW - Safari is 3.0.4 (Leopard)
Thanks!

It won't work if you drag it, but you can copy it from the Activity window, and then paste it into the downloads window. But it may get stuck that way too. The only way I know of is to open the MP3 in Safari, let it load, and then click on File and save it. And I'm using the latest Safari.

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

HT1473 how do i save an audio file from a webpage to iTunes?

how do i save an audio file from a webpage to iTunes?

If the web page is designed to let you save files it will often have a download link, or if it is a link to the file directly you can try to right click on the file. If it isn't set up that way then they probably don't intend for the file to be downloaded.

Can't drag and drop MP3 files into GB since Snow Leopard upgrade

Not sure if this is a known issue but ever since I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6), I have only been able to import (drag & drop) some MP3's into a podcast project. For example, some files I was able to import before, no longer can be dragged and dropped to create a new track.
I've tried creating a new podcast project but thats not working either. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I just read another from another website - http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
that if you choose delete the prefernce files .plist/.cs and use "SAVE AS" vs "SAVE" the files I referred to above get saved when attempting to open th project again. I tried it and it seems to work for me now. I hope this helps others with the GB *"File Not Found"* dilemma in Leopard and Garageband V5.1

Cannot save or print pdf from safari in Snow Leopard

Just recently have been unable to save or print PDF documents from two different websites using either Safari or FireFox on Snow Leopard (10.6). The same websites can be accessed, saved or printed on a different computer using Safari and Lion (10.7). Looking for help.

Found a previous post that suggested doing a Right Click on the PDF form in the Safari Window and then printing from the pop-up menu. This does work. Also, on one of the PDF forms there was a pop-up menu at the bottom of the form that appears only when you move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the form. From this memu I could either save or print. But, just using the Safari File>Print command did not work.
Although both of the alternate techniques work, it is still a mystery why this behavior should suddenly appear.

Cannot write or delete files from DVD+RW after erasing it through Disk Utility. Help.

Hello. I erased (completely not quickly) my 4.7 GB DVD+RW with the help of Disk Utility in which it was successful, it asked me to open Finder, DVD Player or Disk Utility, I chose Finder. Then I dragged a MP4 and burned it, it asked me to name the blank DVD+RW so I named it and then it successfully burned the file onto the DVD+RW, now when I try to burn a file again (as it is a RW) by dragging the file to the DVD+RW window the cursor shows a stop sign with it (the sign which is a circle and there is a diagonal line it it) and it denies to write files again, when I try to remove a file it doesn't do it as well. Please help.
P.S When I secondary click on the DVD+RW icon and click get info it says "Capacity : 4.7 GB" and "Available : 0 Bytes" even when the MP4 file is just 8.3 MB.
Computer: Macbook Pro 13-Inch (Non-Retina) Highest Configuration.
Please Help.

Hello Aditya's Apple,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you want to write again to a CD RW or DVD RW disc you will need to first erase it, and then start another burn process. The only time you can burn multiple times to a disc without first deleting what is on it, is by multisession burning. The following article explains more.

Cannot reply to text messages from certain contacts after iOS5 upgrade. Anyone able to help?

I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 4. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to send text messages to certain contacts, I receive messages from them ok, but when I reply, it is unable to send. Any help appreciated - thanks!

Apple offers a ridiculous "solution" for a problem they created.
I recently switched from iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S5. It became clear shortly after activation that I was not receiving texts from other iPhone users.
After a quick search it became clear that the issue was with iMessage. That is, otheriPhone users were sending me texts via iMessage. While this problem appears to be widespread and my search revealed a class action lawsuit against Apple for this issue, there were no viable solutions.
In a nutshell, Apple support told me the ONLY fixes to this issues were to 1. Have all of my contacts delete our text thread and 2. Wait 45 days for iMessage to expire. This is outrageous and not a solution at all.
If you want to see screencaps of my exchange check out my blog post about it:

Go to the HP site and look for drivers for your scanner. It apparently needs an updated driver to work with Mavericks.

Cancel cannot save to the file because it is in use

Hi guys,
From a couple of days ago i cannot export ANY pdf file in InDesign withouth the "cannot save to the file because it is in use by one or more background tasks". It seems there is a "temporary files" are saving. So the trick is to delete the file from the Finder and save the PDF again. It is annoying that i cannot replace the pdf directly with the same name.
Can i override this situation?
Any help or ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for the fast reply
Actually i learn before from a forum that could be an issue so i take care so the file is not marked. Nevertheless it keeps telling me the file is in use. What could it be?
Cheers

[bug] Airdrop Mp3 files from MBA to iphone6

Recently I am running into an issue:
Airdrop one folder containing larges Mp3 files from MBA to my iPhone6. all is good and no error msg.
However, those files cannot be found in iphone by any internal app , such as itunes or 3rd party app such as QQ music.
Those hidden files takes around 2G files in my iPhone6 16GB, so I made a phone call to Apple Support and I got the below WOREST experience with APPLE center in China
Case ID:754622896
1, I explained how to reproduce issue: airdrop mp3 files from MBA to Iphone6. very simple steps
2, the Front-line cannot solved this issue and escalated this issue to HK Support center Senior Engineer
The Senior Engineer answered:
1, Please try to go GENERAL -> restore to free the space. But in fact, it didn‘t solve my problem.
2, After put me on mute for 10 minutes, she came back to me and list the link below and saying: Apple don't support airdrop mp3
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5887?viewlocale=zh_CN
and she tried to close my case and hang off my phone call after receiving my insist: i need complain about her answer.
I takes me 2 minutes to find the above equivalent English Article, I admitted that: from iPhone, AirDrop cannot support music files
Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
But from AirDrop itself, it supports mp3 files as official link below
OS X Mavericks: Share your files with others near you
From my experence, I think by this Community, it can draw more attention for this bug and let others know the Support quality of Apple.

I have the same issue!! Someone get solved this problem aka bug? it's annoying that i can send mp3 files from my mac to my iPhone but can't open it on the iPhone's music player.... and the 3rd part application are crappy...

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How to download/save a AI file from Web

Hi all,
I need to download some ai files from my client's web application in which, whenever I click the links from their web, my acrobat pdf reader 8.0 will be pop-up and I cannot save the ai files under the acrobat pdf reader. Recently, I don't have any Adobe Illustrator program in my PC because my job is download all ai files and forward to my designers. Can anyone have any suggestion?
thanks
steven

Hi Silk,
I've tried this before. I've no idea why my client's application cannot right click the link. Probably, the web application is written by something related to Java. Even I use left or right click, my windows will be automatically popup the Acrobat PDF reader. I was trying to search some related discussion to disable the Acrobat PDF reader(8.0) popup but fail. Have any idea?

How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable audio file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

In summary, it sounds to me as though the Mac concept of "hidden extension per file" isn't embraced at all by Photoshop.
So assuming the extension is always visible, what is the easiest way do each of the following (ignoring issues with integration with other apps):
1. Save a JPEG as: abc.jpg
2. Save a JPEG as: abc
3. Save a JPEG as: abc.
4. Save a JPEG as: abc.xxx
Since it seems to me we still haven't nailed down whether there's a disparity between how this works on Photoshop for Mac vs. PC, I'll answer the above questions for PC:
1. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type (replace filename with): abc
2. No difference than 3 on a PC.
3. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type: abc.
4. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type: abc.xxx
How is it different from the above on a Mac?
Is there something more complex, such as the sequence of operations, or another system setting, that I didn't cover here? I normally always keep Explorer set so that file extensions are visible (it's global on a PC).
