Downloading files from a Flash site

I'm having a problem downloading MP3 files off a site made with Flash. When I click on the link to open the file it plays nicely on my QuickTime plugin, but when I click the link while holding down the Control key, I get a Flash menu instead of the Download Linked File As... (etc.) prompt. Is there any way that I can save those files to my hard drive?

Thanks for the reply.
I did Control-click the links but didn't get Download Linked File. I got a menu with the following options: Zoom In, Zoom Out (not available for that link), Show All (checkmarked), Quality, Settings, Print, About Flash Player 8.
The webmaster suggested I try a download accelerator (I don't know if he uses a PC or a Mac) to save the files to my computer. I've never used a download accelerator before; is there one available for Safari?

Cannot Download Files from Certain Web Site

There is a website I must use for work quite often. Whenever I try to download or open a file from the site, I get the following error:
Safari can't open the file.
Safari can't open the file ""2010 Pennsylvania Release Notes.pdf" because ""2010 Pennsylvania Release Notes.pdf" has moved since you downloaded it.
I am using a Windows XP machine and these files work fine with any other browser. I really want to make Safari my default browser, but it is out of the question as long as this continues to happen with Safari alone.

I just noticed, when I try downloading a PDF file using Safari from this website, it puts a " in front of the file name. It does not do this with any other browser. I think this may be what is causing the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!!

Cannot download files from private published site

I am using the "published site private" option settings to control user access with a user name and password. This site has a page with links to pdf files stored on my me.com account. The pdf items are to be opened and downloaded by users who access this page through the security settings.
With the security settings removed the process to download files works OK
With security settings enabled, the user name and password successfully open the site but the pdf items will not open and cannot be downloaded.
What am I doing wrong?

You can protect PDF files with a password and user name. When you go to save the document as a PDF file, i.e. Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF, there will be a window to set password and user name.
Click to view full size
That would work for files to be downloaded but not for the pages themselves.

Where can i get an example of Viewing wap, downloading files from wap site?

as we know, almost every simulator has this function. now i wanna write the same function via MIDP, how?
And, anyone know nextel i730, it's very weird that it cannot download file from the wap site but other phones can do it from the same site.
any help would be appreciated.

WAP = HTTP. Just open a http page in midp and read the data. Displaying WAP in MIDP is another thing, since it does not have facilities for that. Why should it anyway? All phones that hava java, already have a W(AP/EB) browser.

What type of file? From what site? What Apps have you downloaded for it?
Perhaps if you provide details of what you are doing we can provide more precise help.

Downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites U-R-G-E-N-T

Hi,
Since last year I encounter regular (close to 100%) problems downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites (for sure web-sites from which I could troubleless download PDF files in the past) The result on my HDD : 0KB pdf file ! = An empty file
This is very anoying and I am sure I am not the only one who encounters this.
Please review your procedures and make this possible again.
Note: I uninstalled Adobe Reader, reset Safari, closed Safari, re-installed Adobe Reader : no results !
THANKS FOR HELPING ASAP !
I travel a lot and have to bring my files with me as internet is not always available in the countries where I work
Christian

Hi Christian,
I've had problems for ages with this but I did notice that after I went through the reinstall with Apple yesterday I now have a couple of different options that are working.
Yesteday I uninstalled reader, restarted my computer and then reinstalled again. I didn't think it had worked for me but after some extra experimentation I have discovered a couple of things.
On some websites eg: https://www.gatewaycu.com.au/uploadedFiles/PDF/Forms/Quick%20Debit%20Authority.pdf
it is coming up with a toolbar (I suppose it's called) at the top of the PDF and it is allowing me to print and save to my desktop, open the pdf and print YEAH.
Also with another website the PDF is showing up differently. eg http://media.wix.com/ugd/99e891_6110f024d956431abb7b66dd24f19251.pdf
This shows up like it used to but the difference is that if you try to save as or print throught the safari options like I used too it doesn't work, BUT if you hover down the bottom of the PDF it brings up a bar type box (sorry I don't know the technical word for this) then you can print, save to desktop, documents etc and then print from there too.
YEAH! It looks like (I hope) that the problem is solved. You have to go about it in a couple of different ways depending on the website, but hey, I don't think that's so bad as long as I can actually print my PDF's. It's better that not being able to access any of them which is what's been happening for the last few months.
I hope this helps you guys out and if you have any problems just let me know and I'll try and explain it better for you.
Cheers
Andrea

Problem downloading files from flash movie?

For some reason, on my Mac Book Pro (running OSX 10.5.4) I am unable to download a file from a flash movie (.swf). All other macs in the office are capable, and I can download files from other sources, just not from a flash movie. It allows me to choose where to save the file, but when the download starts, the progress bar remains at 0%.
Does anyone know what causes this?

There's no such thing as Final Cut HD 5.0.4. If what you really have is Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, then you should be able to capture and edit HDV. But, you haven't told us what camcordr you have, so it's difficult to help.
The usual procdure for resolving this situation looks something like this:
1) With the camcorder powered on and connected, open System Profiler, and see if it sees the camcorder. (SP is in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
2) If SP sees it, then with FCP not running, power down the camcorder, then start Final Cut again. When the window opens saying FCP can't find your HDV device, power on the camcorder and click continue. Try it again.
3) If Log & Capture doesn't see it, then Quit FCP, shut down the Mac, power down the camcorder. Wait 20 seconds. Power up the camcorder, boot up again, open FCP & try it.
4) If L&C still doesn't see it, then trash your FCP preferences, and try it again.
5) Report back here.
EDIT: You are using the HDV Easy Setup, aren't you?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have purchased a full copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard software on 11th
of August 2014 (Order number: 8796780459).
I accidently deleted that file, and tried to download it from the
Adobe site with no success - Got a message directing to [email protected] that elaborates that the file is available for 60 days only. Webhelp at digitalriver has directed me to you
Please help me get a working link for download.

Since you don't give us any details like your operating system or Acrobat version, I can only direct you to a general download page https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html

Downloading files from filesharing sites causes the Android market to force close.

After the last big Android Market update, any time I download a file from a filesharing site like Rapidshare a prompt asks me to force close the Android Market. This continues throughout the download but stops once the file has been downloaded.

yes i am having that problem too, but i do not know how to fix it either

Errors when downloading files from web sites

I cannot download files from Firefox anymore on my home computer. I click on the download link and it takes me to another page that is blank. I can download just fine w/o any problems from my work computer, download box/window appears just fine. I'm using the same Windows 7, Firefox 8.0 program and same website that gives me the error message from my home computer. Is there a pop-up blocker, cookie or plug-in that I need to turn off/on? How do I enable downloads so I can save to my home computer?

Clear cache and cookies and try again. Also, check your firewall permissions for Firefox 8

How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look. Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
(Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail: you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..." If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
Anyway, glad that all is now sorted. Enjoy the music!

I just got a new Imac, and downloaded files from my old PC. Now, when I go to Finder, I have 1500 files in an area called developer. What is this, and can they be deleted? There are also 78 files listed as Other! Most of these files I do not recognize.

I just got a new IMac, and tried to download files from my old PC. When I go to,Finder, I have 1500 files under Developer, an 78 files under Other.
Most of these files I do not recognize. Can they be trashed? Why did they transfer? I used a flash drive for the transfer. Also, is there a way to transfer my older email files to this new computer?
Thanks for any and all help, I really need it.
Tom

Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
Good luck & happy computing!

Can't download file from any browser and download manager

i confused wit my MBP, becaus MBP can't download file from internet ( via USB modem & Wi-fi)..
can you help me to fix it ??
i use iGetter, and it not responding to download, safari too..

I was able to download the trial from rarlab.com. What happens when you click on a download? You need to make sure you select to download the Mac version. The .exe files do not run on a Mac.
BTW, you might want to check out GUI Tar https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14503/gui-tar
The other two sites also work for me. What exactly happens when you click on a link to download? Do you know how to find your downloads?

Toshiba 40SL733g - How to play video files from USB flash memory

When I plug my USB flash memory in USB port, Media Player menu shows up with two options : Photos and Settings.
How do I make my TV recognize and play video files from USB flash memory?
Flash is on FAT32.
I have tried to play avi, mp4 and mkv files but nothing happens. It looks like flash is empty.
Could you please help me solve this problem.
Thanks!

bzunic, have you updated the firmware for your model?.
With my own set, (32RL900A), the instruction manual said that certain buttons on the remote control were "unused", however, after the first firmware update, the previously "unused" buttons were used, (In our case, Time Shift, Record, and so on).
The reason I talk about this is, these features became available after a firmware upgrade, and were not mentioned in the user manual, in our case, and a later download of the instruction manual for our model actually gave the instructions for the use of these features, which were shown as "not available", in the original instruction manual supplied with the TV, but became available after the firmware upgrade.
Let us know how it all works out ............

I'm unable to print pdf files from certain web sites. I have just changed to Mavericks

i'm unable to print pdf file from certain web site. I just changed over to Mavericks.

You will need to access that PDF on your computer first, before you can print it — unless that PDF is corrupted, which occasionally happens. Your printer needs to be configured and working.
Default PDF web-browser plug-in in Safari, latest (Firefox/Chrome) also built-in.
Click on the remote PDF link to open in browser
On Mavericks, you will need to click through security challenges for the PDF
File menu > Print
Right-click on remote PDF file and then choose Download Linked File As...Open that file in /Applications/Preview.appFile > print
Adobe Reader 11.0.04 PDF plug-in
Same security challenges on Mavericks as first bullet
With PDF imaged in browser, either select print icon from the plug-in toolbar, or mouse over the bottom one inch of displayed document and you will see a printer icon in the popup toolbar. Use that.
