HELP!!!i can download files from the internet but i can not open them,help!

I am running mac os x 10.5 i can download files from the internet but adobe reader 9 keeps telling me they can not decode them,( Adobe Reader could not open 'dap93.exe' 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). help!

Adobe Reader does not open .EXE files, it opens .PDF files.  If you were on Windows I would tell you to fix the file association, but I have no idea how to do that on a Mac.

    a direct download of Adobe Reader X 10.1.4 (which seems to be the most recent standalone version that runs on Mac OS X 10.5.8) is here.

    It should unzip if you double-cick.
    What are you seeing happen when you do that?
    Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

  • Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
    CS5 is history and it is not longer supported.  There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
    You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

  • Why doesn't apple allow you to download files from the internet like how android users can?

    I was using a friend's android phone yesterday and saw that he could download files a wide variety of files from the internet and that made me wonder why Apple doesn't allow iPhone users to download files like the ones you could on an android device

    To keep the sort of malware rather prevalent for Android devices off of your iPhone. Depending on what you need to download, though, you can probably find a third-party app that will do it. Since such apps keep their documents in their own sandbox, it helps protect the iPhone from being infected by malicious "documents".

  • Executing downloaded files from the Internet

    I downloaded a software conversion program from the Internet, but everytime I execute it, the executable file runs as a Filemaker Pro 8 file. Is there a way to run this executable so that it will install the application?

    The file you downloaded may have been written to run on Windows, and therefore can't be used in Mac OS X directly; if so, you can use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, or CrossOver to run it on a Mac.

  • Problems with downloading files from the internet?

    I have Mozilla Firefox and Safari on my macbook. For some reason it will not let me download things from the internet. Whenever i keep a download link, the page never loads....can anyone put some insight into my problem?

    Since a few hours, I have the same problem like you. I uninstalled Firefox, because I thought it was a problem with it, but then i started Safari to redownload Firefox and guess what happened.. nothing. I can't download anything. don't know why. does anyone know whats wrong??

  • I can't download files from the internet

    When I select a file to download from the internet, my Application folder opens, but all of the programs are gray. I've checked Firefox Preferences to make sure that files are downloading to the correct location. I'm using the latest version of Firefox and Mac OSx4.11 on a MacBookPro. Safari works so its not a hardware problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 3 days ago

    Another thought...
    Have you recently tried a download manager like *Speed Download* by any chance? If you have, simply trashing it wont remove the files it installs, and if you don't remove them, the browser wont download anymore. You need to use the uninstaller.

    this is a piece of JAVA-code to read a URL. This works also for XML-files.
    You can use this in adater-module, JAVA-Mapping or UDF

  • How to download files from the internet??

    I am a new Mac user, and I am soooo befuddled by downloading files, and what to do with them once they are on the desktop/under devices in Finder. Would someone here be kind enough to explain how to do this, please, or show me in the forum where this is already covered? Thank you very much in advance.

    Hiya,
    Downloading files is simple. All downloads appear in a download window that will open up. Once they are downloaded, you can click the "clear" button if you wish - you don't need them in there any more, and close the window. Files will then be wherever they're set to download to in your Safari preferences - Desktop, Downloads folder etc - and can then be used as you wish, opened, edited, moved. You can drag the files from the desktop into folders in finder. Sadly, someone at Apple foolishly thinks having no "cut" option in finder as you do in windows was a good idea - not quite sure how they came to that conclusion - so you'll have to drag the files from one folder to another, or copy them and then delete the original.
    If you're downloading compressed files (.zip) you may want to look up "Stuffit Expander" - a great file extraction tool.
    Hope this was the information you're after.

  • Cannot download files from the internet

    Two G4 Macs, both on OS 10.4.6. Desktop (ethernet connection) will not download files/apps -- hit the button and it very quickly flickers and says "done" but nothing has downloaded. Laptop (Airport connection) will download correctly from the same sites. Have repaired permissions, and have tried turning off firewall (Norton) with no result. Obviously some setting in the desktop, but I'm perplexed...

    Hi Michael,
    hit the button and it very quickly flickers and says "done" but nothing has downloaded
    That description sounds like a bad/incompatible SpeedDownload installation. Do you recall installing that in the past?
    Either way, try going to http://www.yazsoft.com -> Downloads and then download the installer by control-clicking/right-clicking on the download link and choose "Download Linked File". Once downloaded, run the installer, but select the Uninstall option.
    Give your browsers a restart and retry after trying the uninstallation.
    Edit: All Comp's are Model T's, try the same procedure as well. Hopefully $5 will be on their way to me
