Download just opens 1x1 gif

Sometimes when I click on a download link in Safari (e.g. to a .dmg file), all I am able to download is a 1x1 gif. Is this a problem with Safari, the site I am downloading from, or something else? Here is an example of a link that does not download for me:
h**p://downloads.cepstral.com/cepstral/macosx/CepstralLawrence_macosx3.4.1.dmg
Instead, it downloads a .dmg.gif file
Thanks for any info,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Are you running NetBarrier by any chance?

I have just opened a new account with my new I pod Nano. I have registered,my husband and daughter have an Itunes account on the same computer. I have bought one song but the Ipod has synvhronised also downloading my daughters tunes from her Ipod.
How do I delete all these songs and prevent this from happening again.?

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

How do i add a download action for dxf files. firefox assumes its a text file and just opens it with no download action dialog box

I want to add a download action for dxf files so they open in Autodesk trueview. The steps described here (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20file%20types#w_adding-download-actions) say to click on a link for the filetype you want to add an action to but firefox thinks the dxf is a text file and just opens it in a new tab with no download action dialog box.

Use the right-click context menu and choose "Save Link As" or hold down the alt key and left-click the link.

Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing. With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

I do not want to save every file I download. just want to open a file and move on. I do not see an option to just open or run the download without saving.

Please give an option to just open and run a download without saving.
I have a bunch of the things saved in the download folder that I have no clue what all of it is. Please I do not want to save everything I download, I would like to just open a file move on.
Thank you.

sorry but there is no option like this.
but if you like you can delete them manually
for these :
1.open downloads from menu button on right or by simply pressing (Ctrl +J )
2.Then select the downloaded file you want to delete by a single click on it.
3. You will find a folder type icon on right side of that , in which you should click.
4. Then it will open folder where the selected file saved.
5. Then you can delete that file .
OK done

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1

I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1 with no luck. I am able to open docx files with the converters I have installed but not pptx files.

The PPTX file type is primarily associated with 'Power Point' by Microsoft Corporation.
This is the new format for Microsoft Office documents.
It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction.
To open Office 2008 for Mac documents (format .xlsx, .docx, .pptx) in Office for Mac 2004, you must download and install the Open XML File Format Converter. This article describes how to obtain and install the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac.

Instead of all that, and buying OfficeMac etc...
Try to see if the FREE LibreOffice suite will open the file on your Mac.

I have downloaded the free trial but when I try to open Adobe Illustrator it just opens a web page with tutorials.

Hello, I have successfully downloaded Creative Cloud and from there downloaded AI but when I try to open it all that happens is a webpage opens with three tutorials. The program itself doesn't open.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Sarah

I hope you don't mind but I have added an image as I'm not very technical.
I have downloaded Creative Cloud and you can see that I have downloaded AI or so I thought. When I try to open it I just get taken to the web page shown with the tutorials. There is a download option in the top right hand corner and when I select that it just opens up creative cloud again.
I am sure I am doing something that makes me a complete idiot but I am not sure what else to do.
Thanks for your response.

What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs. it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this?

My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs, it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this? I just bought the computer last month so this is some what frustrating.

If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it. (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

I just opened an email from someone I knew via Insight Broadband. It was a link. I clicked on it and it led to a enhancement drug web site. Do you think I downloaded a virus? I didn't buy any anti-virus software. Thanks to anyone who has time to help me.

Hello:
There are NO viruses that affect a Mac running OS X - none. FWIW, I suggest that you NOT buy A/V software. It is a waste of both money and computer resources.
Having said that, there are a couple of instances of malware that have popped up. Just don't follow links from unknown sources.

HT1414 what if none of my apps are opening on my iphone 4s? all of the apps I downloaded just say "waiting"

None of my apps that I downloaded are opening and all of them just say "waitin

Hi charmedbella10,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue of apps seemingly paused in "waiting" and may help:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Cheers,
- Ari
