Full Stop Replaced with UnderScore when downloading

I've been having an issue download files from IE9.
1. Any file i download has the full stop replaced with an underscore before the file extension.
2. Some downloads try downloading a PHP file instead of th requested file.
3. The Download prompt bar remains on the screen, until i click Open or Save. Cancel does not remove the download bar.
4. The first attempt always fails and reports that the file couldn't be downloaded and i have to click retry for every file.
I have tried removing and re-installing IE and running with Add-ons disabled but still having the same issue.
Any help, suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.

I still think diagnosis may be required but it appears that a workaround has been found.
In another thread a safe mode boot was found to be a workaround, doubling my conviction that diagnosis would be required.

FWIW my guess for that one would be the user's AV package. <eg>
In fact, perhaps that interferer would step out of the way when Protected Mode is unchecked? Etc.
Good luck

Non-alphanumeric chars replaced with underscore when saving long filenames

Hi,
I have a java application that streams a byte array (content type: 'application/pdf') to an Internet Explorer window. The PDF displays fine, in an embedded version of Adobe Reader 8. However, if I click on the Adobe 'Save' button then the filename gets changed as follows:
PDF URL: http://localhost:8080/mcs/ctrl/flowOpenJobPDFWindow/AP1070.pdf?veryLongQueryString...
PDF filename: http___localhost_8080_mcs_ctrl_flowOpenJobPDFWindow_AP1070.pdf
Anything that isn't alphanumeric is converted into an underscore character. I would expect, and need, the file to be named something like 'AP1070.pdf'.
I think this has something to do with the fact that I am streaming content to IE because if I point an IE window to an identical file that actually exists on the server then the filename when saving does look like 'AP1070.pdf', regardless of the length of the URL or querystring. Does adobe reader expect something in the header to stop this happening?
I can provide java code if this would be useful, or any other information required. If you think this is more likely to be a java issue then I thank you for your time and will raise on a java forum.
Environment:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2.
Adobe Reader 8.
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11
Many thanks,

What determine whether I see 'keep both' or 'skip/stop/replace' as options when moving files??

Recently I've rolled over the file numbers on my camera again, so moving new photos around often causes filename conflicts: 'An item named "_XXX1234.jpg" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving?"
What controls whether I see "Keep both files" as an option (where Finder just adds a 2 suffix to the filename of the newer item being added) vs "skip/stop/replace"?
When I'm trying to copy distinct new items with duplicate filenames, I want to use 'keep both files'; when I'm grabbing a mass of files, moving to a common storage place, and want only the new files to copy over, so that finder does the hard work of figuring out which ones are new/missing from the new folder, I want the option of 'skip' instead.

The option-click 'copy file' does not change the dialog box from just clicking and dragging without option--still only seeing the skip/stop/replace.
I do use iPhoto, but find the file structure does not follow my patterns of use, so do not let it organize the files--for those many, inevitable times when I want to access the images directly without having to export the images first. I also have Adobe Bridge, which has a file renaming feature. But I started seeing this option of 'keep both' recently--I think since my install of Mavericks when 10.9.3 came out, and determined it does something very helpful to me, but can't figure out how to make it show up consistently. For some things it would be nicer than always just making a new iPhoto library when the file numbers start over again.

Punctuation sometimes being replaced with "?" when published

Hello,
Every once in a while, when a page has been updated, most of the punctuation is being replaced with question marks (?).
I've since gone in a second time and changed the question marks to the proper punctuation and the page published properly.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hello Kagan,
I noticed on both of the pages, your charset is defined as:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Please try changing it to UTF-8 and see if this resolves the problem:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

How to Stop Quicktime from Opening when Downloading a Song?

I'm trying to download a song from an artists website. When I click on the song, a new window opens and quicktime starts to buffer the song for playback. This happens with both IE and Firefox.
How do I disable this? My laptop doesn't do this, but my main desktop is.

Why not just right-click and save the linked file to your computer?
Open the .mp3 with any app you choose.
You can disable the QuickTime plug-in from playing .mp3 files in a browser window by opening the QT Control Panel/Advanced and click the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for the .mp3 format and restart your browser for this change to take effect.

IChat stop working with Bonjour when parental control was enabled

Hi,
I'm wondering if someone could help me out with this issue.
I am running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
When I enabled Parental Control, iChat stops working on bonjour account, is there a way to fix this or is there a work around.
Thanks,
Mindy

For some reason at present I can not get Bonjour to work properly between My Leopard computer and my Tiger one.
Having Looked at Parental Controls I do not see that this is an iChat Issue.
Look at the Way the computer/account is allowed to share files with other computers

Problems with Quicktime when downloading new iTunes

I was trying to burn an audio CD from an iTunes playlist, and kept getting error message. So I went to the Apple site to download the newest version of iTunes, to see if that would help. I got the file (iTunes75Setup) downloaded. When I opened it to install iTunes, however, it proceeded into the installing of Quicktime, and partway through it gave me an error message (error # 2738) saying the installation of Quicktime failed, and Quicktime is needed for iTunes functions, so I should try installation again later. I tried a few times and got the same error.
The thing that confuses me, I already HAVE Quicktime installed on my computer separately, and working just fine. (Version 7.1.5) So why do I need to re-install it with iTunes? (Particularly since it seems to be the part of the process that is causing problems.)
Does anyone know how to fix this error, or if there is a way to upgrade to the new iTunes without requiring a re-installation of Quicktime? Thanks!

I am having this same type of problem. When I try to open the new iTunes it says there is a Quicktime error (it cannot initialize). I've tried uninstalling both iTunes and Quicktime and reinstalled them without any luck. Does anyone know how to fix this??

HT204053 My calender stopped sync with iphone when I upgraded ti iCloud?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS lion, 10:7:3 and it stopped syncing calender with my iphone.

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Download window no longer updates with files I download. It still pops up. Does it get full?

Downloads windows stopped updating with files I download.
It still pops up. and the files do download.

Marcello, I am having the same problem. When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini.
I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

How to replace ComboBoxCell with TextFieldCell when not editing

Hi,
I want to replace the ComboBoxCell with TextFieldCell when I am not editing the cell and shall be replaced with ComboBoxCell when clicked on that particular cell. Any pointers highly appreciable.

If I replace the netgear with the TC is there a way of doing so that won't cause me to have to re-enter wireless info and passwords for all my devices that connect to the internet (iphones, ipads, apple tv, wii, other computers, sonos, etc........).
Sorry, but no.
Another thing to think about is that your Netgear device may likely be both a modem and router in one package. If that is the case, you will still need to use the Netgear device, even if you do add the Time Capsule.....since the Time Capsule has no modem on board.

When typing an email I need each new sentence to automaticaaly start with a capital letter. At present after a full stop the new sentence automatically starts with a lower case letternot an upper case one

When typing an email new sentences do not automatically start with a capital letter after a full stop.
Surely this should happen automatically without the need for me to touch the capital letter icon.

Either you didn't actually call Apple, and got some tech support scammer instead (calling the first number that pops up on a Google search for "Apple support" can give you some bad numbers), or the Apple tech you spoke to didn't know what he's talking about. It's not a virus.
As for the problem, if you have enabled auto-capitalization and the problem continues, first try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect.

I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

TS1539 How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?
