Downloaded files not opening

Starting last week I've been unable to open and mount any downloaded item, either from Safari or Firefox. I tried using Stuffit directly, but when I drag/drop onto the Stuffit icon (whilst Stuffit is open), the computer pauses for a moment, and then nothing happens.
I've transferred a 'working' Stuffit from another computer, and the same thing occurs.
The last thing I successfully downloaded was EndNote from the website of my university. I might've updated Firefox around that time.
Thank you in advance.

I've been trying to expand .dmg and .bin, which I had been doing earlier. I saw something on the Apple download page and tried to get it, and that doesn't work.
*Hi Kjjg, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Get Info on a .dmg wants to use "DiskimageMounter.app" and then click on "Change All" for ".dmg"s. Use "Stuffit" for "Bin" and "Hex" files.
Good Luck, JP

Downloaded files not opening up automatically

Hello,
I have checked the Open Safe files on the preferences, but ever since I got the new Safari 3, Real sound files, torrent files on Transmission etc. do not open automatically. So I need to go to the desktop to double click every time. Can someone please tell me the way around it?
thanks!

the same happen to me with Safari 3 Public Beta for
Windows, how can I make Safari to open automatically
the download files, I have to open it manually from
Desktop.
Right click on the file and choose "Open" from a context menu.

Download File not opening correctly in Firefox... (Works fine in IE...)

Running the following code snippet in Oracle 11.2, APEX 4.2.3, IE 10, Firefox 24:
procedure download_to_user
is
t_excel blob;
t_filename varchar2(200);
begin
t_excel := finish;
t_filename := 'test.xlsx';
   htp.flush;
   owa_util.mime_header( 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet', false );
   htp.print( 'Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength( t_excel ) );
htp.print( 'Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' || t_filename || ';' );
htp.print( 'Content-Description: Generated by as_xslx' );
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file( t_excel );
apex_debug_message.log_message( 'done' );
end;
Now the strange part.. It works fine in IE & Chrome when I have it called from a button click on a form, when I try it in Firefox, it returns a garbled file that Firefox thinks IT Should open... I would think since all the issues we seem to have with IE that this would be the opposite..
Thank you,

Hi TexasApexDeveloper,
I don't have IE10 to test this with but I find it strange that you don't need to add
APEX_APPLICATION.stop_apex_engine;
or
APEX_APPLICATION.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;
at the end of your code, to stop possible branches or further rendering.
That's the only thing in your code that I can see that can indicate an error. Can you create an example on apex.oracle.com if that does not help?
Regards,
Joni

Download files not saved

Download files not saved. Click on download and then click on "Save", next the download window opens, but it does not show the download file?
I recently downloaded Nero 11 and then removed. I also deleted some software Babylon, Yonno (? some name) in control panel.
Using ZoneAlarm 10.1.101 and Firefox 10.0.2 (removed and reinstalled).

Hello Cor-el,
I went to Tools>Options>Privacy and it is checked off as you indicated/noted...
I will check out the URL downloads+windows later this week...
ZoneAlarm will not work with the latest Firefox versions 14 (or earlier ones)... so reverted to an older version of Firefox and ZoneAlarm... and it works! Aside- it is ANNOYING to click on latest version upload for Firefox and then get a screen showing what software is not compatible with that version. So I needed to remove the latest Firefox version and ZoneAlarm.. and re-install both.
No need to use Firefox 10.0.6 ESR because I am a small home user and not a big organization?
Thanks for your help, I will have to make the time this coming week and look into this further.

P.S. The files are still not downloading and saved?

Quick Time file not opening

Suddenly QuickTime 7.5.5 stopped opening the movies stored in one Hard Disc.
Here are descriptions of how problem occurs:
1) The preview in finder +column view+ shows only blank space, but not a movie.
2) Instead of opening the file QT claims that "This is not a movie file"
3) Not all the movies in the disk are injured but about 80 % of them. There might be in same folder movies that behaves normally and movies that behaves as described above.
I have restarted the machine few times and repaired the disk with disk utility, with not any couraging results...
If there were any ideas what the problem might be, and how to fix it, advices would be very much appreciated.
Screenshots of the problem:
http://koti.welho.com/tsuonio1/File-not-open.jpg

Two possibilities spring to mind. One is that the HD itself has been damaged somehow. Try copying one of the "bad" video files to your boot drive and opening from there. If it won't copy, your HD is clearly bad, if it copies and plays then something weirder is going on with the drive.
The other possibility has to do with the h264 codec you used. Apple's implementation of the H264 standard is a work in progress, they've been gradually adding features that are part of the full standard and may have broken something. If you recently upgraded QT that may be the problem. If you created the files using a third party H264 codec that might explain the playback problems. Also, you should install Perian (www.perian.org) and see if that helps, their codec plays back many formats that Apple doesn't support out of the box.
You may need to upload one of the bad files to an filesharing website of some kind so that other folks here can download and look at it themselves.

Imac G5 OS 10.4.11 Itunes not connect, Safari fine, new downloads will not open, new install of 10.4.11.4

Imac G5 OS 10.4.11 Itunes will not connect to radio or store. Errors out check internet connection. Safari connects fine.
New downloads will not open i.e. ms office critical update, nor Filemaker re-validate registration, also new intaller of itunes 9.2.1 etc.
After clean install of 10.4 and all updates same problem.
Other 10.4.11 systems I have work fine on ibook etc.
Can I move the system app that opens .dmg files from OK system to imac? Would that even solve the problem?
Ramon

I was pretty sure they changed to a minimum of 10.6.8
Are downloading iTunes 9.2.1 from here...

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe Reader

Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
The problem which i am facing is:-
In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
PDF will never show up in case of reader.
I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
I really need uregent help on this.
Thanks in advance for help.

.indd files not opening with recently installed Indesign CS3

The .indd files don't have the Indesign icon next to them, instead they have the win32 icon. When I double click on one of the files an error message appears telling me that...
"this file is not a valid win32 application"
Even when I right-click on the file and choose to open with Indesign, it tells me the same thing. Also in this options menu, Indesign is not shown with the Indesign logo next to it, but rather the windows generic 'unknown file type' logo.
If I open Indesign first however, and then choose file>open and choose the file. It opens fine.

Exactly my situation yesterday, with the icon disappearing and INDD files not opening within InDesign from Explorer.
I'm using an early XP Pro, which I guess qualifies it as 32 bit.
The steps to rebuilding everything using the Folder Options in Windows Explorer are:
Tools > Folder Options > File Types
If INDD is not listed, click the New button to creat an entry, otherwise select it and click the Advanced button.
You have an option to change the icon, so navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 and select the InDesign icon.
Then under actions you need to create four actions that will relate to the context menu choices when you right click an INDD files, so click New and add actions for edit, open, preview and print.
In the Application used to perform action box enter "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\InDesign.exe" "%1"
Those quote marks are important. Just browsing to InDesign.exe will fill the box for you, but for some reason - for me at least - it creates the %1 indicating to open the file you selected, but it doesn't wrap it in quotes. And without those quotes (at least on my machine) InDesign will start but won't load the file.
There is also a check box to use DDE. I don't know what's appropriate here, but I ticked the box and it works OK.

All downloads through Firefox are not opening correctly. Bookmarks open up a page with links flush left down the page that do not work. All file downloads do not open correctly with the same issue as bookmarks. Want to avoid losing all my bookmarks so don

Something happened in the last day with FF. IE downloads files correctly. FF Delicious bookmarks open up a page with blue links that look like an outline but they are not my links. My downloads do the same. No virus.

That can be caused by having some bookmarks with a long title in the main Bookmarks menu.
The width of a column in the Bookmarks menu list is in current Firefox versions automatically adjusted to fit the bookmark with the longest name.
You can check the names of the bookmarks and make the longer ones shorter.

What type of files are you trying to open, and what are you using to open them? Do you receive an error when you try to open them? And if so, what is that error?
Please provide a few more details of the problem, and we will do our best to get things sorted out.

IWeb "Domain" File Not Opening in Mavericks

I just bought a new Mac Pro and converted everything over from my early 2008 Mac Pro. However, my iWeb Domain file will not open in the new Mac. It defaults to the start up iWeb page asking me to choose a new template.
Facts:
1- Both systems are running same version of Mavericks.
2- Both systems are running same version of iWeb.
3- In the Early Mac system, when I open iWeb, the Domain automatically opens. In new Mac it opens to the "choose a template for your webpage" option. Same result if I double click on the actual Domain file.
Troubleshooting already done:
1- Confirmed this is the only Domain file on the system
2- Opened same file on old system to ensure it is a valid Domain file
3- Re saved in old system and transferred over to new system. Same result when opening.
Thank you in advance for any insights on this.

To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:
