Download box popped up
While I was online the download box appeared asking if I wanted to download three media files that I never requested to download. I clicked clear. I see they are still in my downloads. What should I do and do I have a virus?
No virus but you probably did tell the system to download the files. Navigate to your download folder, move the three files to your trash and then empty the trash.
Also if you haven't already after doing so please run Software Update and update to 10.6.8, your system appears to be way out of date!

So I Go To The Site, Everything Loads Properly And Quickly, Click The Video I Want To Watch, That Video Page Comes Up, Once Again, Quickly And Properly. So I Click The Play Button To Play The Video And The "Downloads" Box For Firefox Pops Up And Shows That I'm Downloading The Video. That's Great If I Want To Download The Video, But I Don't, I Just Want To Watch It There On The Site. I Just Now Downloaded Firefox Because I've Heard So Many Great Things About It. This Site (Liveleak) Was The First Site I Went To After Downloading, So It's Of To A Bad Start With Me For Firefox. This Site Works Fine In Internet Explorer No Problems Whatsoever, So Its Not The Site.
Sounds that you are missing the plugin that is used to play those videos embedded in Firefox.<br />
Your system details list doesn't show any media player plugin, so you will either have to check if the plugin(s) are installed, but disabled or install missing plugins.

You may need the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll) because Flash always uses a dedicated player to play the videos and would never offer to save videos directly unless an extension is used.

Download Box Pops Up When Viewing Websites With Facebook Like Buttons
Whenever I visit websites that have the option to click the "like" button from facebook (cnn, tmz, etc.), the download box on my computer pops up and says "You have chosen to open like.php from www.facebook.com in Text Edit" or "You have chosen to open fan.php from www.facebook.com in Text Edit." I rarely use Facebook and have never used the like button so I'm not sure why it keeps popping up. Does anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it? I am using Firefox 3.6 on a Mac with Snow Leopard.

no matter how I try to update the download never shows up in the downloads box. A box pops up at the bottom of my screen and says "all downloads finished" but it never shows up in my downloads list so I am never given the option to "run".
I was able to find it manually in the download list but I have no idea why it will not pull up correctly when doing an auto update.AA9 is not compatible with Reader. It is probably best to uninstall Reader and then repair AA9 (Help>Repair). Also, when you install you should generally be logged in as the administrator and have anti-virus disabled.
For the updates, it may be best to simply go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows, download the updates, and install them in order. A new system may be the problem, particularly if it is Win8 and 64 bit, you did not say. For 64-bit systems, the updates are critical (I think AA9 works on 64-bit systems after the updates). For AA X, it required 10.1 for 64-bits.
Also, if you updated OFFICE, then expect to only print to the Adobe PDF printer. AA9 does not work with PDF Maker on the newer versions of OFFICE.
If you uninstall AA9 for some reason (I don't recommend except as a last resort), then be sure to remove the Acrobat folder and run the cleaner (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html) before a reboot and reinstall. -
Whether pictures, or executable files, will download into the download box that pops up. When the file is done downloaded, when I attempt to either left click or right click on the file in the download box, it will not allow me to open that file
Do you owe money from these previous purchases? If so, you will not be able to download anything further from the iTunes Store until you provide a payment method, either a credit card or a prepaid iTunes card, to clear that balance.

******Why couldn't File Download Box pop up???
Hi all,
I want to use applet to call the IE' file download box which does the csv download job.
Here is my idea:
First, click the menu of applet to call the servlet
Scecond,call the IE file download box by this servlet invoked by the applet.
The following code snippets intend to show the file download dialog:
String fileName = "test.csv"
response.setContentType("APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""+fileName+"\"");
unfortunately, the box didn't show!!!:-(
One thing can be clear that with the IE or NetScape supported ,the file download dialog can be raised by writing the code above.
I wanna make two things clear:
No1:Is it true the file download box is part of function of the browser?
No2:Is there any solution to this problem?
Thanks a lot!it happens with the keyboard disconnected. I was surprised it booted up without going through the user screen so I didn't have to enter my password.
and on another note, I'm sure it's obvious, but how do I boot up from my external drive with my imac? the other day when I was having serious issues while trying to fix this problem, I was unable to boot from my install disc
thanks so much for your time -
If I download files, pictures, programs, etc. the download box pops up, but rather than remaining in a list(?) so I can download later , it just pops up and then disappears. This does not allow me to scan for virus', nor does it allow me to decide , or find, the download easily. It also clears the list, even if I don't want to clear the list ! What up?
What email program are you using? And what do you mean by "Safari mail"?

Okay, I'm going to try to post this ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!! This **** site keeps deleting my question!?????
While trying to download an app, even a free one, the download starts then a box pops up asking for verification of payment. I put in my credit card info but then it doesn't like my address info.? So I then try every variation of spelling and such. I can't make it happy, I never had a prob before .
Then I decided to try to redeem my iTunes money but a box come up , it has my account name there, and my remaining $. It all looks correct. But it asks for a code .??? I entered all the info when I got the card. Then threw the card away. I've bought items from this with no prob until now. ???
So I'm suppose to hang onto that carduntil I spend everything? Never did before, and it was working fine till now.
So here I sit . Pretty much clueless and starting to steam !
Hopefully someone has a tip or suggestion.If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

What was the exact error message you received? When you removed and re-installed iTunes, did you use the precise instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process?

I try download movie from purchased items on itunes but continues to stop. A box pops up saying connection has been reset. How do I fix problem?
kapots3v4,
if your MacBook Pro doesn’t stay active long enough to perform an OS X Internet Recovery, then you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service provider to have them diagnose what’s ailing it. -
The email that iTunes wants me to sign into is my mums which is weird because my mum has never touched my ipod so i don't why iTunes is asking me to sign into her account.
I've tried finding ways to change it but i can't seam to.
Another thing is that when i download an app, iTunes manages to get the email right and the box pops up with my email account and not my mums.
Please help me change this because i cannot update my apps.
Many thanks- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
To change the login
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
You may have apps purchased with her account that need updating. -
I was in the process of downloading something tonight and decided to close my browser. Unfortunately, the download window also closed and that meant my download was gone and I would have to start over again.
I went back and started the download again and the download box showed the file picked up where it left off but when I closed the browser the same thing happened again; the download box closed when I closed the browser.
The reason I close the browser is because my downloads download faster when the browser is closed and now that option is closed to me.
Is this a new feature if so I don't like it as a matter of fact I would say I'm very pissed off with this new development. Please go back to fixing it so I can close the browser and still download.Hi cor-el:
Thanks for responding to my post.
I went to about:config like you suggest and changed the the thing you said. There is no improvement. Instead of my browser and the download box closing when I click on exit button/link now a box pops up with the message "If you exit now, 1 download will be canceled. Are you sure you want to exit?
I don't need a box to warn me that if I exit that the downloads manager would close as well...I already know that and that's the problem. I want a way to stop the download manager box from closing when I exit the browser like it used to.
Thanks anyway.
