Download links not working? Have to rightclick everytime...

Hi,
This is weird and has me stumped. If I click a download link for a .zip or .dmg file in Safari or Firefox nothing happens. In order to download files I have to right-click the link and choose 'Download linked file', this works perfectly.
I've tried changing the DNS servers but that didn't fix it. I also completely uninstalled safari and all .plist files and re-installed Safari, this didn't work. My MacBook, which is on the same network works fine.
The issue is with ANY browser, not just Safari.
Any ideas on a fix would be fantastic
Dave

Maybe you should boot from your install disc just in case, run Disk Utility to see if there are any errors on the startup disk.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

CD installation disk download link not working

I'm trying to download the CD installation disk for the WRT400N. The disk came with the router
but the glue on the label got on the disk and makes it almost unreadable.
Can someone check that link to see why the .iso file is only a couple of bits in size? Should be @400mb.
Thanks

Yes, it can be configured without the disk, I realize that. This is my first experience with routers and wi-fi, so I would like a better copy of this disk I paid for. But the link for that download does not work. I was addressing that.
The disk I got had a dot of glue from the label on it and while it worked, it took almost half an hour to get it done.
Part of the disk is unreadable when I tried to copy it, so I want to download the .iso file to create a backup disk.
That's it!

Download link not working in Adobe AIR app.

I wanted to let users browse my site as a desktop application,
but didn't have the time to write an application from scratch. SO tried following trick. Created a simple Adobe AIR application with a single page. This page redirects to my website and hence loads the website in the AIR window.
Everything is working fine except that the download links are not working. The download doesn't start. Nothing happens. What is the solution here? Any help is appreciated.

I am now facing the same problem. I wrote a servlet .
code like this
         response = (HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
         response.setContentType("application/x-download");
         String agent = request.getHeader("USER-AGENT");
         boolean isIE=false;
        if (null != agent && agent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1) {
            isIE=true;
        if (isIE) {
            fileName = URLEncoder.encode(fileName, "UTF-8");
        } else {
            fileName = new String(fileName.getBytes("utf-8"), "ISO-8859-1");
        response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename="+fileName);
        ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
        byte b[]=new byte[1024];
        int n;
        while((n=in.read(b))!=-1){
            os.write(b,0,n);
       in.close();
       os.close();
and i open a new window refer to above jsp ,also i set a breakPoint at os.close(),the program has passed through,but nothing happened in the window.
If i use IE or FF ,the browser will open a small window to allow me select whether open or save the file.So can anybody give me some advice.Is it because air using webkit engine and the engine does not do this kind of job?
        Thanks.

LR Download Link Not Working

I am trying to download a trial version of Lightroom, but the link button does not respond. I have tried on two different computers.
Here's the page:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom
I already have Creative Cloud subscription which now includes Lightroom. I have everything installed on two allowed computers. How can I get just Lightroom onto a third computer? Please tell me I don't have to purchase full product
Okay, I found this link in another thread and it worked:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Windows
The link on the main download page does not work

This thread about I E not working for the lightroom 4 download is from August of 2012.
It's now November of 2012 and I found this thread after trying to download LR4 without success, using multiple computers with IE as the default browser.
I just tried it with Chrome and it worked just fine.
What the **** is going on here?
IE is still a major browser and it appears the Adobe has completely ignored this issue.
This is a problem with the Adobe site and there should be ramifications to Adobe for not even posting a warning on the download page so that people can at least use another browser and avoid so much troubleshooting.
Again, this is from months ago. You should be ashamed Adobe. Utterly disgusting way to treat your clients.

Website image and zip file download links not working in Dreamweaver Air application

Hi
I have successfully created and AIR app for an existing business website using the Dreamweaver AIR Extension. The site works very well in all respects except for the part where we have high resolution images and zip files available for download. The download links refuse to do anything, and right-click (PC) / ctl-click (Mac) does nto work either.
I suspect this may be an AIR sandbox/security issue but am I correct and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give.

Safari Download links not working, opening new page

Hi, I am not to happy with the latest version of Safari, and it has made one problem worse. When I click on a download link, more often than not, instead of getting a file to download, it opens a new page and appears to be loading the file as raw code. I will see in the location bar at the top something like:
download.php or FileName.zip, and it cycles a while until the full file is loaded but does not show anything by a blank page... Before this version I could right click and choose save linked file As and it would usually work, but now that doesn't work.
Anyone else seeing this problem or have a solution?
I have speed downloader but I have it turned off for sites that were problematic, but Safari doesn' seem to use it anyway, because when it works, it opens a Safari download window, not SD
Thanks
Jeff

Quit Safari if it's running. Move the file
Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
in your home folder to the Desktop. Test again. If downloading now works as expected, then that's where the problem lies. Otherwise, it's still somewhere in your Safari settings, but I wouldn't know where. You'd have to ask the "Speed Downloader" developer what to do next.

CS3 Not loading from disc and download link not working

I had to wipe my MacBook Pro hard drive. I am now running Mavericks. I bought CS5 as an upgrade to CS3 so CS3 is required to be on my computer before it will let me load the update.I have tried loading CS3 from the disk (I have my original discs) but it won't let me. It gets stuck about 2/3rds of the way through install. I've tried 4 times and I'm fed up. Nothing should be this hard. There is nothing wrong with my CD drive either, as I have loaded four other pieces of software that come on CD.
I tried to download CS3 from the links that Adobe tells me to use but none of the links work. I have searched for links in general, I have done specific searches in Adobe. Everything I come across for the CS3 download gives me an error when I click on the Mac version to download (HTTP Error: 404/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp). I have switched off the pop up blocker as well and tried more than one browser when downloading.
Does anyone have a work around? I've paid over $4,000 for this software, I don't have the money to buy the latest version and I need to get my work done. I'm done with the stupidity of just trying to load this and I shouldn't have to buy the latest version just to be able to load my update.
Please help if you can.
SIncere thanks
Hasmi

you don't need to install cs3 in order to install your cs5 upgrade. if you start the cs5 installation you will first be prompted for your cs5 serial number. the installer will then 'look' for cs3 on your computer and failing to find that will then prompt you for your cs3 serial number thereby establishing that you qualify to install the cs5 upgrade.
but if you want to install cs3:
You can download some of the older versions of Adobe software directly from the Adobe website. See the following links for details.
Accessible from these pages:
Download and installation help
Adobe Downloads - other downloads
Downloads available:
CS6 | CS5.5 | CS4 | CS3
Acrobat XI, X | 9,8
Premiere Elements 11, 10
Photoshop Elements 11, 10
or:
if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a download problem (eg, you see an error page or you are offered an incorrect version), you probably didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that (a restrictive browser setting) is another potential source of problems.

FlashPlayer Distribution Agreement - Download link not working (404)

Hello
We’ve got a new distribution agreement, but there seems to be a problem with the download link:
"Adobe® Flash® Player
Unter der folgenden Adresse können Sie die gewünschte Flash Player-Version zur Weiterverteilung herunterladen:
http://www.adobe.com/de/products/flashplayer/distribution4.html#http://www.adobe.com/de/products/flashplayer/distribution4.html#ID_RemovedIDREMOVED
We do know Adobe is changing the method how distribution partners should access the binaries, we saw in the mail that the old method will be decommissioned not before the 18 of November.
"• The existing hosting site URL will be decommissioned on November 18, 2014."
Can someone please investigate our issue?
Kind Regards

Hello,
The folks responsible for that page are working to fix the localized pages, which are not displaying. In the mean time, please use the English version of the page, Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. Thank you.

Not Yet Documented ADF Sample Applications download link not working

Steve Muench Not Yet Documented ADF Sample Applications located at http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/
The download link for the samples does not work. It directs us to Oracle JDeveloper Products Page instead.
Clicking on the title of any sample application used to enable the download of the sample file. Now it points to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/overview/index.html
Is there an alternative way to download the sample applications?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Mitesh

Unfortunately the link https://smuenchadf.samplecode.oracle.com/samples does not work. It gives message URL is not valid.
Your samples are a very important source of reference for us. Hopefully all the samples can be migrated to the new site soon.
I am using JDev 11.1.1.2. I am using editable checkboxes is a table with RowSelection = Single. When I click on a selectBooleanCheckbox on a different row other than the current table row, the checkbox value changes at first but immediately reverts back to the previous state. It works fine so long as I remain on current row of the table. If I turn RowSelection off then I don't face this issue.
For information, I wanted to take a look at your sample 145. Using a CheckBox in an Editable Table with Boolean/Button Binding.
Thank you for your help.
