Downloads from Safari going to trash bin

Hello,
Whenever I download files from Safari they go to the Trash bin. It's only with direct downloads using Safari as iTunes and other program downloads/updates go to the appropriate locations. I obviously messed something up (probably deleted some important download files or pathway) and I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the basic question.
Thank you!

If I want to create a Download folder on the desktop that Safari will download to, I'm thinking I should create it at the Macintosh HD level so that it would be at the same level as the Applications and Documents folders, right?
No. That level is for system-wide folders. There shouldn't be a Documents folder there. Documents should be in your home folder, along with a Downloads folder. If you really want the Downloads folder on the desktop, Command-Option-Drag it there. That will create an alias to it on the desktop but leave the folder in its normal location.
Instead of putting it on the desktop, why not drag it to the dock (to the right of the divider bar) or to the Finder sidebar (lower section)?

  • Music-Download from Safari goes directly to iTunes. Disable it?

    Hello dear users
    Always when i download some tracks from safari, the data starts to play. Due to that reason it's automatticly linked with iTunes. How do i disable this issue?
    Thanks for your answers.

    Hello Eustace Mendis
    Thanks a lot for your request. It helped me a lot.
    Actually this didn't solve the problem, but just below the line "Save downloaded files to:" I found a option to disable. Due to my translation skills from german into english it should be: "Automattically open downloaded files"
    Now all files won't open by themselfe after downloading it. This means, that the Music-Data doesn't go directly to iTunes . So I can tune the file before I drop it into iTunes. Perfect!

  • Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

    Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."  I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

    Try this:
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Empty the trash
    Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

    i download whats app and delete it an now i can't find it on app store..when i download from safari it write "your request could not be completed" tell what to to to find and download

    Go into your account in the App Store, sign out, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.], go back to the Apps Store, sign in and try again.

  • I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "Awesome Screenshot" then  remove it. No my Internet is not working, my Safari simply hangs

    I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "awesome Screenshot" couple of days ago and then decided to remove it from the system . Since then the awesome icon does not appear But my Safari is suffering as it is not loading the pages.Please help

    Try removing any other extensions and plugins and if that works introduce them one at a time, you may find it is one of those causing the problem.
    If that does not work create a new post, this one being closed will gather less interest and someone who as an answer could miss it.

    exe files won't open after downloaded from Safari on my Mac OS X 10.4.11

    I use the free Unarchiver: http://unarchiver.c3.cx/unarchiver

    However, as you have been told, normally Windows executable files cannot be opened or used on Macs.

  • How do i stop downloads from automatically going to downloads folder

  • How to Disable Downloading from Safari?

    Hi I am wondering if Safari has an option where you can prevent people from downloading from the internet. Just like IE did if the security settings are set right so downloading will be impossible.
    The reason is because recently the Hotel that I am doing my internship had installed 2 brand new iMacs and wanted to prevent guests from downloading files off the internet so is there any way?
    thanks a bunch in advance

    There is no option in Safari to prevent downloads, also I could not find any in the Parental Controls area in System Preferences.

  • Fix blurry images downloaded from Safari (The semi-easy way)

    Hi, I've noticed a couple of people around here have had problems with image quality (blurry images) whenever an image was saved to the camera roll from Safari.
    Turns out, there is a simple fix for this!
    This fix requires a drawing app such as Brushes (Or any drawing app where you can take an image from your camera roll, and save to your camera roll).
    Now, just open the image that is blurry in the selected drawing app.
    Notice anything? The image is no longer blurry! Woo!
    Now just save the image back to your camera roll, and delete the old blurry image. You won't be needing it anymore.
    Problem solved.
    (I think opening the picture in the drawing app reduces the size of said picture, making it less blurry. I'll try this the next time I find a blurry image to see the changes in quality. I'll also include a picture guide for those that don't understand how to do this (But would you really need it :P))
    Hope this helps all that have this problem!

    Like I said, I noticed a lot of people having this problem, so I decided to post this to hold everyone over until the problem is fixed. Maybe this problem will secretly be fixed in the 3.0 update? It certainly is easier and quicker than uploading the blurry photo itself into a program such as Photoshop and editing the dimensions there.

  • Can't open pdf files after downloading from Safari 6.0.5

    I was wondering whether anyone else has encountered this bug. Ihave a retina MBP with Safari and Firefox. If I save a pdf to the desktop via Safari I get the following message when I try to open it "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
    When I download the same file via Firefox, it opens no problem.
    It would, therefore seem to be a Safari 6.0.5 pdf problem, rather than an Adobe Acrobat Pro (11.0.3).
    I have tried with both extension displayed and not displayed options, no difference.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks for reading.

    I encountered the same problem.  In my case, the culprit was a plug-in in the Internet Plug-Ins sub-folder of my User Account's Library folder.
    Here's how I proceeded, based on a suggestion by Carolyn Samit here:
    <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5117605?start=0&tstart=0>
    1. Open the Finder.
    2. In the Finder menu bar, click on the heading Go.  Scroll down to "Go to Folder," and then click the mouse button again.
    3. Copy the following phrase:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    and then paste that phrase into the field in the navigation window that appeared at the end of Step 2.
    3. Click Go.
    4.  If you find a plug-in named AdobePDFViewer.plugin, drag it to the Trash.
    5. Quit and then relaunch Safari.  Then try to load in Safari a PDF from a web site.  Then try saving it.  Once saved/downloaded, try opening the PDF.
    When I followed this procedure, the corrupted-PDF problem went away, thanks to Ms. Samit's suggestion.

  • Xcode download from the app store trashed by development environment and I cannot recover by downloading again

    I downloaded xcode and it trashed my development environment.
    I had previously installed an earlier version.
    My purchased apps page does not list XCODE.  However, If I go to the XCODE download page in the App, it lists it as installed.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

    Go to your Spotlight search. (Swipe from left to right at your primary home screen.)
    Type in 'Facebook'.
    You should see your Facebook app.
    Unless you held down an app icon until it 'wiggles', then hit the black 'x' to delete it, you didn't delete the app.

  • Rock.ttf downloaded from safari

    Hi all !
    I noticed on quiet a few websites that this font gets downloaded. I checked my download folder and have 4 or 5 of these.
    Examples are the frenc sites "Le monde" or "Mac4ever".
    Any explanation on why it does that ?
    Best regards

    CSS3 Web Fonts
    CSS3 web fonts allow web designers to create stunning websites using the fonts they prefer rather than restricting themselves to “web-safe fonts.” Safari was the first web browser to automatically recognize websites that use custom fonts, downloading them as they’re needed.
    That's from here:
    https://ssl.apple.com/safari/features.html
    Still does't explain why it doesn't do the same for me.  Can you give a step by step guide, i.e. does the font download as soon as you get to the index page?

  • Cannot download from safari any files.

    Hope someone can help, I'm unable to download any files, get the spinning wheel then a plain dark grey screen, then it times out. I checked my internet plug ins and i don't have any third party plug ins. I've also trashed my downloads plist but no joy. Finally I have also tried changing the download location to desktop, then changing back to downloads, but still no luck. Has anyone else had the same trouble? I cannot even download firefox as an alternative because it won't even allow me to download this file. I'm running most up to date version of snow leopard and safari 4. Really stuck please help thanks.

    Well, you went a bit overboard on removing things. You definitely need these for Safari to run properly:
    JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
    nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
    Quartz Composer.webplugin
    QuickTime Plugin.plugin
    The others are all optional, depending upon what other software you may have installed. One or a combination of them is probably the cause of the inability to download files in your user account, but unless you installed them in the new user account you created, it doesn't explain downloads not working in that account.
    Try adding the Internet Plug-Ins back one at a time, starting Safari and testing for the problem each time, then quitting and adding another one and repeating the process until you're unable to download a file. That last item added back is one of the culprits, and if you still have more you haven't added back for testing, one or more of them could also be contributing factors.
    You may have a version that is simply incompatible with Snow Leopard, so you should check the site for a compatible version and install that. If there is no compatible version, you'll have to do without it until there is one.

  • Price download from ECC goes to which condition maintenance group in CRM?
