Try saving to disk first and then opening the file.

My macbook pro can't download anything from the internet

Hi, I tried to download some software from the internet (like MAMP, tomtom, or samsung kies). When I clicked the download button, instead of downloading, my page reloaded and nothing happend. At first I tought something was wrong with Safari, so I tried using Chrome, but nothing changes. Also tried with Firefox and opera, also still can't download. Does anyone know what to do? I need to download some of the software for my classes.
thanks

I can't download anything from the internet

I can't download anything! I've tried downloading software updates, widgets, you name it. The page flashes quickly and nothing happens.
Any idea what's going on?
thank you in advance!

Hi
Two of several possibilities:
Do you have a Download accelerator installed in your system? The most popular is Speed Download? Enter Speed Download in your Finder's Spotlight panel. If installed, you'll either need to become a registered user or uninstall the Plug-in.
If no, You may have a corrupted Safari Downloads file. Go to your Finder: Your User Account>Library>Safari. There, move the Downloads.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari and try a Download.

Then it shows as downloading failed.But if I click on it twice ,it opens up .
this has started happening since last week.Before this ,it never happened.
Please suggest what has gone wrong somewhere and how can I rectify it.

Please install the following add-on to see if it helps.

Why cant i buy download anything from the app store after the new ios7 update?

Why cant I download anything from the app store after updating to the ios7.02 system?

Do you have a song or podcast in iTunes that did not finish downloading? If you do - finish that one first. The apps will not update until that download is complete.
If that doesn't do it - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if you can tap on one app and start the download.

Welcome.
Two words of advice, it is much easier to read lower case than capitals. Secondly, never quote your email address publicly like this to prevent it from being harvested. The same applies to your telephone.
As a first step, do a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
Next, u go into your account again and try changing the method of payment to None. If you get past this then download any free app. If successful, go back into your account and enter your credit card details again and see what happens.

Cannot download anything from App Store, no error.

I haven't been able to download anything from the Mac App Store. I've tried a few things to help with troubleshooting, and this is what I've gotten so far:
- I cannot download anything when I use my computer
- I cannot download anything, even if logged into another user (it is not limitted to my account)
- I can download things if I'm logged into my account on another computer
- Internet connection is not the issue, as I have tried many internet signals
I don't have any firewalls or anything like that.

I fixed it by turning my computer off and on again.
Go figure, I've been trying to fix this for weeks.

Problems with downloading files from the internet?

Problems with downloading videos from the internet....please help

sorry if this the wrong forum to post but I don't know where else to post my issue.
Normally when I download videos from the internet I click on "window" then "activity" then the largest file ie ? of ? (which is the MB file) and it downloads then I use isquint to put it to mp4 format. However now when I do that the file I download says that "video _ts folders can't be directly converted" and there is a button that says "Inadequacy". I can't even download videos from youtube. Any help would be great.
thank you

Other than the videos on YouTube, can you post a link or URL of the videos you having problems with for us to test out for you?
I use Firefox which has quite a few video converter add ons that allows downloads of any type of video from the net. The one I use is called +Flash Video Downloader.+
"Is there anything else I need to have installed in order to be able to download videos?"
The latest versions of the following:
QuickTime
RealPlayer
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
"I also have divx and 3ivx installed"
You can get rid of those if you have any of the above installed.
" Mac OS X (10.5.2)"
Use Software Update to update your OS which is seriously out of date. The last version of Leopard I believe was either v5.6 or v5.8. Also, update all the other things listed that pertain to the OS & your model computer if applicable to your needs.

How do I download videos from the internet to my mac

How do I download videos from the internet to my MAC?

You can use SnapZ Pro X, which will screen record with sound any animation on the monitor into a QuickTime file, but it's expensive.
If you look for Add-ons for Firefox, there are some that download Flash and YouTube videos to a file on your machine.

You Mac likely will come across sites and content that won't play in Quicktime, on your Mac or in your web browser unless you install additonal codecs

How to install
When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.
