How to tell Safari .csv is legitimate extension?

One of our users has to download tons of .CSV files each day, and prior to our upgrade to Tiger, she had no trouble.
But now, every time she goes to download a .CSV file, Safari adds a .txt to the end of the file name. Then she has to manually remove the .txt, and even then Safari complains
"The name filename.csv appears to have an extension. Do you want to append .txt anyway?" and she has to click on "Don't Append".
When she has to do this several hundred times in a day, it gets old very quickly. How do we tell Safari that .csv is a legitimate extension and that it doesn't need to add .txt to it?
Thanks

Jim,
Two observations:
1. Firefox downloads .csv files just fine.
2. When changing the extension, it's not Safari complaining. it's the Finder, right? If you have a bunch of files it's easy to change using a WYSIWYG app like A Better Finder Rename.

How to tell SAFARI to select especific mail service

Does any one know, how to tell SAFARI to use for example, YAHOO web mail serivice instead of MAC MAIL, when selecting the option MAIL LINK TO THIS PAGE.
Tks in advanced from México

Ralphjh,
An Automator workflow can save the page in a web archive format:
First download the Save Safari Web Archive workflow.
I would add two additional actions at the beginning of the workflow, each from Automator's Safari library, so that your final workflow would look like this:
1) *Get Specified URLs* -- Deselect or use the minus sign to remove the default www.apple.com address. Open your puzzle page in Safari, make it frontmost, and click on the Current Safari Page button.
2) *Display Webpages*
3) *Run AppleScript* -- No need to modify the existing script.
4) *Get Selected Finder Items*
5) *Move Finder Items* -- The desktop is default.
Save the Workflow as File Format: application, and add it to your Login Items.
It all may be for naught however. I suspect that upon your return from vacation, you'll be disappointed to find that opening any one of the saved files will only result in opening the current day's puzzle. For example, on Tuesday April 29th, the puzzle linked from the URL you posted opened the puzzle for +that day,+ Puzzle Number 760. A quick look at the 30 Day Killer archive (scroll down the page) reveals that each day's puzzle has its own URL. The actual URL for Puzzle Number 760 is:
http://www.sudoku.org.uk/DailyKiller.asp?day=29/04/2008
You'll notice that the URLs for the individual days' puzzles in the Killer Archive differ only in the dates appended to them. You would likely need to find a way to incorporate that pattern into an AppleScript -- correlating the current date to the updated URL.

How to tell Safari to open and save a web page

While on vacation, I would like to save a daily puzzle that occurs on a web site that uses the same URL for each new puzzle. Using the Energy Saver Preference panel, I can schedule a daily start up and shut down and add Safari to the Login Items. How would I tell Safari to open that URL and then save the web page to the Desktop?

How to make Safari stop adding filename extensions

If I use Right-click->Download Linked File As... with a link to a text file whose name has no extension or an unrecognized extension, Safari adds ".txt" to the name without showing in the Save dialog that it is going to do so. I think this is a regression in Safari 7 and/or Mavericks to a bad behavior from the Tiger era, although it is possible that it is an edge case that wasn't fixed along with the fix for more common modes of downloading/saving files and I just haven't run into it recently. I understand the mechanics of what Safari is doing (mapping the HTTP Content-Type header to a filename extension) and I don't see any good workaround short of a master switch making Safari stop doing that at all and instead trusting that I really do want unextended filenames and the ability to use a period in a filename without informing LaunchServices.
As an antique Mac user I've never been entirely comfortable with the adoption of the Windows filename extension botch, but I do accept that battle as lost. I'm just looking for a way to make Safari save files with the name shown in the Save dialog.

How to tell Safari to save as a Web Archive

The default "Save" when using a script is to save as "Page Source." How would one write a script to Save as "Web Archive."

01. In 'Safari' - manually, select the 'File, Save As...' menu item. A drop down sheet will appear.
02. Select the 'Format:' Web Archive' menu item.
03. Click on the 'Save' button.
04. Locate the just saved web page, trash it, and empty the trash.
You have now set 'Safari' to save all future 'Save As...'es in the 'Web Archive' format.
05. Use the code (which is supplied with no error trapping) below.
-- Code starts here --
property tURL : "http://www.badcopnews.com/"
tell application "Safari"
activate
make new document at end of documents
set URL of document 1 to tURL
get document 1
end tell
delay 3
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
keystroke "s" using command down -- 'Command S' - 'Save As...'
delay 1 -- Pause for 1 second.
keystroke "d" using command down -- 'Command D' - Go to 'Desktop'.
delay 1 -- Pause for 1 second.
keystroke "c" using command down -- 'Command C' - Go copy highlighted text.
set the clipboard to ((do shell script ("date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S")) & (the clipboard))
keystroke "v" using command down -- 'Command V' - 'Paste'.
delay 1 -- Pause for 1 second.
click button "Save" of sheet 1 of window 1 -- Click on 'Save' button.
end tell
-- Code ends here --

How to tell Safari to Save As...

I have the following as which uses URL Access Scripting to download a webpage.
set the target_URL to "http://jott.com/notes.aspx?page=243"
set the destination_file to "Macintosh HD:Users:jeffrey:Downloads:jotts:" & "243.html"
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download target_URL to file destination_file replacing no
end tell
But unfortunately, this doesn't work with the particular pages I'm using, because the url assumes you're already logged in.
So what I need is essentially the same thing, but done with safari while already logged in.
Is there a way to do this?

Maybe you might try this:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
open location "https://jott.com/login.aspx"
tell application "Safari"
repeat until (text of front document contains "All Rights Reserved.")
-- just wait until the page is completely loaded
end repeat
delay 1 -- wait a little longer
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "0123456789" & tab -- your 10 digit phone number
keystroke "Jeffrey Ellis" -- your password
delay 1 -- for visual feedback
keystroke return
delay 1 -- -- adjust if necessary
keystroke "l" using {command down}
keystroke "http://jott.com/notes.aspx?page=243" & return
delay 3 -- adjust if necessary
tell process "Safari"
click menu item "Save As…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
repeat until sheet 1 of window 1 exists
end repeat
keystroke "243.html"
keystroke "d" using {shift down, command down} -- save to dekstop
tell sheet 1 of window 1
click pop up button 1 of group 1
click menu item "Web archive" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of group 1 -- or "Page Source" if you prefer
click button "Save"
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set theTargetFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:jeffrey:Downloads:jotts:"
set thePath to (path to desktop as string) & "243.html"
repeat until document file thePath exists
end repeat
move document file thePath to theTargetFolder without replacing
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT
Btw, I'm pretty sure there exists a one-line UNIX solution to your problem.

hello
how to remove Ads by CouponDropDown on safari with mavericks like extensions remains empty
thank you

Since I do not use Safari, I had no idea that was an extension, but that person should not be calling that a virus as that is a bit over the top; besides, I have extensions turned on precisely because I want Adblock and WOT to run.
If that is an extension, then it was installed and can be uninstalled which would appear to be a good way to handle it.

How do I tell Safari to play a live stream always in QuickTime?

I like to watch a television station from Eastern Europe that streams live on the internet. When I click on the link, the content plays in Windows Media Player. Recently, purely by fluke, it opened in QuickTime and I really preferred this version. Unfortunately I have been unable to repeat this fluke. There is nothing in Safari, QuickTime, or WMP preferences relevant to this issue. I have inputted the link's URL where QuickTime prompts me, but it does nothing.
Is there a way I can tell Safari to open the link in QuickTime whenever I select the link?
(Both my Safari and QuickTime use the latest versions.)

If the content is playing in Windows Media Player, you will be better off installing Flip4Mac which will allow a Quicktime window to open. Microsoft no longer supports WMP for Macs and recommends all Mac users to use Flip4Mac. This software can be found on Versiontracker and Macupdate as well as the manufactures website for download.

HT5502 how to download safari 6.0.1

How to get safari 6.0.1 please

It might be faster to contact the Apple store or reseller or Apple support in your particular region, and request assistance more directly.
To continue here, please tell us what OS X version you have now, what version of Safari you have installed, and what's happening with Safari when it's not working.
Some general details follow — I'm not clear on what's happening here — and I do not know what if any of the following will apply to your case.
There is no Apple-provided separate Safari upgrade — nor any Safari downgrade — for OS X. It's part of the OS X installation and upgrade kits.
If some version of Safari was directly onto your OS X system through some means other than with an OS X update and if something has gone wrong with the results of that, then reinstalling the most recent combo update or reinstalling the whole operating system are the usual paths to resolution.
If some version of Safari was not installed here and there are problems with a standard Mountain Lion installation, then try the following. If you have any Safari extensions or plug-ins or any "haxies" (input managers) around, try disabling or removing them, and test Safari again. Alternatively, try a completely different login, and see if Safari works in that other user login.
If you have an older OS X release and need to do Mountain Lion development, then you will need to purchase and upgrade to a newer version of OS X. The OS X version upgrade — and subsequent OS X updates — will upgrade Safari.
Here is a previous (and details) discussion of the available OS X upgrade path; of acquiring 10.6 Snow Leopard if you need that, then of acquiring either 10.7 Lion or Mountain Lion 10.8 — depending on whether your Mac is supported by Mountain Lion. If your Mac is not supported by Mountain Lion, then there is no supported way to use it to develop for Mountain Lion.

How to tell if multiple files are selected when they are opened in windows

Hello, can someone help me, my question is how to tell if multiple file selections were made when they were opened (right-click->open). Through modifying the registry I already have my Java program start up when a file with specific extension is double-clicked.
The problem is when multiple files are opened at the same time, an instance of java program is created and run for each of the selected files. Ideally I would like it so that only one instance of java program is run, regardless of the number of selections.
When you try it with Microsoft media player or winamp for example, it seems that only one process is created and run (I don't see many processes spawning when I watch it using task manager). Maybe this is more of Windows issue rather than Java programming issue. Any help is appreciated.

If anybody wants to know, this can be solved by either 1) using DDE 2) using DropTarget (from Windows) 3) make a light-weight EXE dispatcher (eg. in C), and use file to have IPC between the dispatcher (which gets the filepath for each of the selections) and the java program. There can be other methods of course. Using the second option is the simplest but it requires WinXP and higher. I implemented it using option 3.. the downside of this is there's a warning message pop up when trying to open many (>20?) files at the same time by Windows. However, option 1 'seems' to have the same limitation. Having a java program created each time for each of the selections seems to be too slow, for viable option.

How to tell EAX is working

is there anyway besides guessing to tell that EAX is working? I am using Windows 7, Vista, and XP, and I am curious if anyone knows if there is a log file generated when EAX is working or not. I understand full well how to use Alchemy but I am not sure about older games. Any thoughts? If I configure Alchemy correctly, then I do not know how to tell if I am successful 00% of the time. The game may sound good, but am I getting the legacy effects or did the developers just do a good sound capture?
Thanks for the thoughts,

from what i know games can use EAX through openal. also openal can be used by some higher-level libraries like fmod. a good example which was already mentioned here is bioshock which used fmod, openal and eax. a game could also be coded in a way that it uses EAX hardware processing but it doesn't have to be explicitly selectable in the options.
i think we can blame both game developers and creative for not enough info on the subject.
when a game comes out and uses the next new shiny dx we all know that long before release.
there is much less information about how sound is produced by a game besides "it supports 5./7."
i think someone from creative should post an extensi've clarification on the subject.

I some how deleted the safari app on my iphone as well as my app store and the itunes store app how do i get it back?

They are pre-installed apps and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved them onto a screen or into a folder. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the apps are still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find them on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Also check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Safari, iTunes and Installing Apps and Deleting Apps are all ON.

It's likely that jaredfs' proposed solution will work, if you are infected with some kind of adware. However, it's hard to tell whether that's the case from your description.

How secure is Safari?

I've read that isn't that secure that we all think, for instance concerning phishing attacks (is there really filter within Safari?). so how secure is Safari (for banking transactions and more) really?

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Phishing occurs when a misdirect to a fradulent site is built-in to a link via either an E-mail or web-site. No browser is 100% immune to this problem. Best defense is to avoid opening links in e-mails, especially those sent from Banks, Credit Card companies, etc. Also, reporting the e-mail to the affected web site hosts or security is very helpful.
Safari is as secure as any other browser. Its encryption meets current industry standards followed by lending institutions etc. I have no qualms using this browser for any https site, as long as the certificate of the site is up-to-date and valid (Safari will tell you if it's not).
To ensure I am opening a valid site address, I use 1Password. This is a 3rd party supplement to Apple's Keychain which adds another level of security.
