Downloading instead of streaming

Hi, i am a pretty new Mac user. Used to be able to download the audio files my dj friend puts on his website with a windows pc, but now I can only seem to stream them and not save them to my computer. Would be very grateful if you couyld tell me how to do this as he deletes them every few weeks to make way for new stuff and I am losing lotsa good material.

The Mighty Mouse is the newer mouse, with left, right, middle, and side buttons. I believe what you mean is that the computer only has the older mouse, with one button.
What he meant was click the control key (not the Apple key, which is also called the command key) and left click with the mouse on the link. This should open up a small menu letting you save it to the desktop. The control key is two buttons to the left of the Apple (command) key on the standard size Apple keyboards. Remember to hold down the control key while clicking with the mouse.
Good luck.

My videos started DOWNLOADING instead of STREAMING, please help

Hi,
I use to be able to show streaming video's on my site, created with Apple's iWeb and Compressor. Now, the videos I add to the site do not stream they download; they show the QuickTime logo; it takes quite some time for the videos to appear.
I used QuickTime codec H.264 (mpeg-4), among others; videos are 320X240, 12 fps, hinted streaming, self contained just as for the other videos created and uploaded previously onto www.zoetra.com that play properly. I upload using Cyberduck.
I contacted the host they do not know what causes this problem. Here below are the URL addresses of the pages where the videos download instead of streaming.

I don't know much about this QuickTime stuff, but what I hear people recommending is to make sure that your movies have the "faststart" property included. It sounds like you probably have QuickTime Pro, and I understand that it is one of the save options there.
If you don't have QuickTime Pro or if you just want a one-trick pony type of application to add the faststart property, you should check out Lillipot...

What you'll have to do is to re-save the movie files, then replace the ones currently on your pages with the updated files.

ITunes 11 Downloading Instead of Streaming

So unless I'm missing something, according to Apple the new iTunes 11 allows you to stream songs that are stored in the cloud, without having to first down them. I have a couple albums I purchased on my iPhone and show up in iTunes with the iCloud/download button like they should. But when I double-click a song it starts to download it, instead of streaming it. Once it's downloaded it plays like normal, but I don't understand why it's downloading instead of streaming.
Second issue I'm having is that complete albums are not showing up in iTunnes. I just purchased a single song, and from what I understand when I view it in album view it should (or at least can) show the rest of the album and offer me the chance to purchase additional songs. On my iPhone I can click the "Show Complete Album..." button in order to do this. But in iTunes all I get is the single song I've downloaded. How do I change this?

Imatch is downloading instead of streaming

I've come to realize that I filled up my phone with music that I thought I was streaming. When, in fact, I was downloading, and filled up my phone with data described as "other." So, the question is, what steps to I take to make sure I'm not downloading? Grateful in advance.

In iOS 6 the tracks are not "streamed" in the traditional sense we know. A cached version of the track is downloaded to the device and stored in non-permanent memory. There is no way to change this behavior. But the Music app is smart about it. It will periodically delete tracks from the cache that are older and have not been listened to recently.

Quick Time downloading mp3 file instead of streaming it

When I click on an mp3 file on a webpage which normally streams, it now starts downloading instead of streaming. Using the latest version.

Thanks for your help. Actually after my last post in saying it only happened in Firefox I had a further look in Firefox - Options - Applications - it showed that Quick Time default player was set to play mp3 files. I changed this to the Quick Time plug in and it worked. Thanks again.

My DVD isn't working and I'm trying to install/re-install CS6. Can I just get a download instead?

I've got an HP Pavillion Laptop and the DVD drive isn't working. I'm trying to re-install CS6 on it and need it for a trip Friday,so I can't get the drive fixed by then. Can I get a phone number or email address and just have my version downloaded instead?

You should be able to download photoshop cs6 from here

CFM files downloading instead of processing

I have an IIS7 Windows 2008 server that was running ColdFusion 9 Standard just fine. We're trying to update it to ColdFusion 10 Standard. However, despite multiple re-installs, CFM files always download instead of serving properly. Here are the things I have confirmed.
All the necessary IIS services/features are installed per the Adobe documentation
The ISAPI filter and handler mappings are getting added in IIS and pointing to the correct CF10 filter.
We have run the Connector program, removed CF and re-added CF to the sites, with no change in behavior.
If we remove CF10 from the site, and then run the CF9 connector and connect CF9 it works great. As soon as we switch to CF10, though, it just will not execute CFM files.
One other odd thing... I noticed that the MIME type of cfm file when downloaded in /msdownload. Even if we manually enter a text/html MIME type for cfm files (which shouldn't be necessary) it still comes down as /msdownload.
My theory on this is that some process is intercepting the request before it gets to ColdFusion/Tomcat. Not sure why it happens with CF10 but not with CF9.
Thanks for any advice you may have.

Hi,
It often depends on the website serving the videos. If they specify the wrong MIME type for the file then Safari will treat it as a regular binary file and download it.
Can you give examples of sites where you see the differing behaviour?

Downloading from photo stream not limited to wifi

Downloading from photo stream seemed to me to be very active while I was not on a wifi connection. Due to other people tossing a ton of photos in their shared streams I burned a ton of data and then had to turn off the phone when I realized what was going on.
Have others experienced this? Is there a way to stop it?
I loved the addition of shared streams but this is probably a feature killer for me.

1. Yes. It's 30 days or 1k pics, whichever comes first.
2. I'm not sure about your phone or iPad. I would check on the forum for one of those devices or here

3. No it doesn't do video.

Audio Video Content created in 10.6 Downloads instead of Plays Back

I have a situation where all content created in 10.6 will download instead of playing back with a browsers plug-in. That includes, mp3s (mp3s created with Logic) and all types of common video formats - DivX avi's, mp4's, mov's.
I have tested on Safari, Opera and Firefox in 10.6, Safari in 10.4, and on Windows Vista with Google Chrome.
It appears there is something common with 10.6 that cuases these problems - I would very much like to know what it is and how to resolve it.
So that you can test it for yourself, the website is:
www.rohanstevenson.com
/TV and Film Demos
In the mp3 demos, most of the contect was created in 10.5 and plays back ok. But "Nightmares and the Sidh" was created in the latest logic version on 10.6 and in safari, it won't play unless you move the slider forward very slightly, or copy and paste the URL into quicktime or VLC. In Firefox, it will download even if you ask it to playback using the plug-in. In Opera it will ask you for the plug-in and it will playback in the browser there. In Safari OS 10.4 and in Vista Gogle Chrome it will download no matter what.
In the Movie Demos, most of them were updated and will automatically download instead of playing back in the browser. However:
Dragon's Demand, and Fanny Hill - The Sonnet, were created in previous OS's and do playback properly (ie they don't download) in all the browsers.
The movies that download may have been created in 10.6 or not, but even the ones that were not were edited (cut out) using Quicktime Pro 7.6 recently in 10.6 and they download and do not playback. That is to say, anything that has had any editing done and therefore saved with an application in 10.6, or were created directly in 10.6 force downloads instead of playing back in browsers in the manner described above.
Help!
N.B. the website was made with iWeb, but I don't think that is the problem, I think there is some header information in the files that stop them from being properly recognized.

there's been a number of long & short threads with similar problems, I think some even had the same content-type yet still misbehaved on some servers (an OS update or two ago, so some things might be fixed)
One poster at least thought that 10.6 created files were ok, but not if changed by iTunes (I think it was that, anyway); I never found a way to present the files on all servers that always worked, although using embed or something other than a direct link seemed to solve it in some cases w/o needing any end-user wiggling.
I'm sure that people must create/publish ok, but a number fetch up here saying that 10.6 won't play the results.
In case you've not seen it - Safari-Develop-Show Web Inspector-Resources-Headers shows what Safari gets as content-type, you can alter user agent & see if it changes. Sites like web-sniffer.net do it too.

Photos in camera roll do not download to photo stream

photos in camera roll do not always download to photo stream on iphone?

Try quitting the Camera app or restarting the iPhone. Do they upload to the Photo Steam after that?
Take a look at Apple's Photo Stream FAQ.
On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

Whenever I try to stream radio (pls or m3u) a program in MS Office opens instead of streaming. I've tried reinstalling both Office and iTunes. Any ideas?

Whenever I try to stream radio (pls or m3u), instead of streaming the computer opens a program in MS Office. I've tried re-installing both Office and iTunes, but that did not fix the problem. Any ideas about a solution?

You need to right (or Control) click on your playlist file and select "Get Info."
Then in the Get Info Dialog go to the Open with section and select the app
(like VLC or iTunes) that you want to open when you double click on the
playlist. You can click on the Change All button if you want all files of the
same type to launch with the same app.
