Getting error: Safari can't download file intermittently

I purchased an Ipad (original) for my father in law and it will sometimes give an error ' Safari can not download file' and it will not go to any website. Weatherbug won't connect. Any app that connects to the internet does the same thing. Connecting to the internet thru airport express connected to a dsl modem. Other windows based machine connected to the internet fine. Ideas?

To add a ringtone, download it from your computer and make sure it is a .m4r file. Once this is done, add it to your iTunes library (it will go in the ringtones section). Then sync your phone making sure that it syncs ringtones as well (check it in the ringtones tab).
Then in your sound preferences on your iPhone change the ringtone.

  • Safari can't download file when trying to download movies

    Safari responds with "safari can't download file' when I use download app to download movies . I don't have issues downloading apps or searching net.  Would be grateful for assistance.

    You can't download something from Safari to your iPad.  iPad is a closed system, and not subject to virus intrusion.  Now, if for example you have a Kindle app and you go directly to Kindle in Safari and using your ID you buy a book, the book will download to your Kindle account, which you could then open your kindle App on your iPad and read the book you downloaded in your App.  But you can't go into Safari and just download a book or a movie directly to your iPad from the net........

  • Safari can't download file

    I am trying to access my work using the Citrix receiver and it works well on my Mac.  However on my iPhone 4, I get an error message that Safari can;t download the file.  I beleive the file is a *.ica file to launch the Citrixonline plugin or the Citrix receiver app.  Any suggestions?  BTW it works well on a co-workers Android phone.... imagine the grief I am getting!  :-)

    Ok I guess I should have made it more clear.  I am using the suggested app.  I have to point to the CAG server in Safari, like I do on my Mac and like my Android brethren.  After I log in, I click the link to launch the actual Citrix receiver (or the citrix online plugin) to get to the Windows desktop, and Safari says can't download the file.  I was unaware on my Mac that a file was being downloaded, which I suspect is the *.ica file, as it happens very quickly and a small window opens that is the Citrix receiver or the online plugin and VIOLA the Win desktop appears.
    If I open the Citrix receiver app on the iPhone, there are settings that need to be entered and at this time my higher up IT support won't provide that info, as the iPhone is not approved officially and they won't offer me any info.
    I just figured it'd work like it did on my co-workers Android as the process is the same for him and believe it or not for him "it just worked".  :-)

  • Keep getting msg safari unable to download file when trying to view MP4 videos?

  • Get error "Safari can't find the Internet plug-in"

    I get error when I tried to open a Potcast on IBM's website in Safari 5 for Windows 7
    "Safari can't find the Internet plug in. Some content on the page "IBM Cloud Computing - idea - United States - United States' Can't be shown because its MIME type is unspecified.
    I checked these settings
    -Plug-ins enabled in edit\preferences\security
    -Java enabled in edit\preferences\security
    -JavaScript enabled in edit\preferences\security
    -Quick Time Player 7.6.6 is installed and works
    -Potcast works on Google and IE. Note: IE prompted for MIME type configuration, clicked Yes and Potcast worked.
    I tried to search the web for answer but couldn't find solution for this error.
    I checked Apple's forum and didn't find anything so Please help.
    thanks

    Is that the "Listen and learn about cloud computing and the IBM difference" podcast on this page, Concise?
    http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/cloud_computing/ideas/index.html
    If so, I can replicate the effect on my XP SP3 box (running Safari 5.0).
    A bit odd, because it just looks to be a QuickTime plugin when I click on it in IE.
    The W3C Markup validation service doesn't like the code on that page much:
    [88 Errors, 69 warning(s)|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fsmarter planet%2Fus%2Fen%2Fcloud_computing%2Fideas%2Findex.html&charset=%28detect+automa tically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0]
    ... but it might be worth doing a "Help > report bugs to Apple" (in Safari) just in case the effect isn't related to the code.
    (If anyone has suggestions for Concise on workarounds to get safari to play the podcast, please feel free to leap in.)

  • When sycning photos get error message: can't sync file not found

    Trying to sync my wife's new 3gs to my macbook Pro.  Never had any problems syncing my phone. With hers I can sync everything but photos. I get an error message saying can't sync file not found.  I have no idea what file it is looking for or whether it is missing from the phone or my computer.

    Thanks so much. The file path wasn't exactly the same as the link said, but it was close enough that I found it in a few minutes. Trashed the ipod cache as instructed, and now all my iphones and ipods have synced photos. Thanks again, would have never found that file on my own.

  • HT4623 I tried several times to download iTunes version 6.3.1 but it says safari can't download file. What do I do next?

    Need help installing iTunes version 6.3.1 or higher on my iPhone 4S. It tells me that safari can't open the file.

    You don't update Safari on your phone, it's built into the iOS.  You update Safari on your computer, and the latest version is 10.7, not 6.3.1; available here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/.

  • Can't download file from bank. Error safari cant download qif

    I am trying to find a bank program that let's me run a budget and check register. I am trying to download a qif file to import my bank information but I get an errorbthat says safari can not download that type of file

    Just a theory but I think it holds some water, you can't download the file because you don't have an app that will let you save the file to on the iPad. I think that makes sense. I just downloaded a .qif from my bank site as a test and I was able to open the file in DropBox - not in any useful way - but I was able to save the downloaded file. My point is that if you choose one the apps the Dah-Veed has suggested to you, then you should be able to download the file if they work with the .qif format and I will trust Dah-Veed on that point.
    If there is no app that can handle the file on your iPad, you more than likely cannot download the file and that's why you get the message. You are "putting the cart before the horse" by trying to download the file.

  • Will a program mention for MAC OSX be allowed to download on the newest iPad version. If so, how do I get past the "safari" can not download this file?

    Will a program mention for MAC OSX be allowed to download on the newest iPad version. If so, how do I get past the "safari" can not download this file?

    No, because iPads do not run Mac OS X. They run iOS.

  • I downloaded songs to my phone at xmas and when i plugged in to my laptop it wiped the phone of new purchases when i try and download them to my computer in itunes via previous purchesses it wont load the list and i keep getting error 10053 can any1 help

    Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album.  These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer.  If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
    If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

  • I can't download files or videos, I get the response "The object is blocked" As far as I know I have removed or disabled all security programs

    HI Phillip,
    On the other I am wholly unable to download the file from either Safari or Firefox
    Let's try one browser at a time. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder then the Safari folder. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    Now launch Firefox. From the Firefox menu bar click Firefox / Preferences then select the
    Advanced tab then the Network tab. Click: Clear Now.
    Relaunch Firefox.
    If nothing above has helped either browser, login to your Mac to another user account. Try Safari there. If you can't download files from Safari there, then it's a system wide problem. Boot from your install disc. Run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair any errors on the startup disk.
    Help here for Disk Utility: The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?

  • What causes "SAFARI can not download this file"?

    I have purchased and downloaded books from WWW.Baen.com in the past with no trouble. When I now purchase and then try to download a book I get this message--"SAFARI can not download this file".
    What has caused this and how do I correct it?
    Thanks

    Fine. Why did this site all of a sudden become incompaatable and how do I correct it. I have not changed anything on my iPad except to install APPLE's updates.

  • I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

    I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

    It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed.  This is pretty typical.  Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
    You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images.  How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
    For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile.  If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
    You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it.  It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background.  A quick web search turns up many overviews.  Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.
