How/what do I do in Safari 5.0.6 to download anything?

Downloads are not downloading after something was turned off/on in a setting. Ran AJ auto, Disk Utility, OnyX, deleated, re-downloaded Safari 5.0.6 , deleted any internet programs installed before it stopped downloading (all AppCleaner). Is there is a setting I am missing to turn on/off or download from Leech for now? Thank you! 

Hi BD, thank you for your rapid response. It was always set to dl to the dersktop and has always before. I have no right click on my mouse, and all I ever did was click on "download" on a site and it did.Then I added some new apps, "Folx", "Speed DL 4 and 5" and others, they are all deleted now via "AppCleaner" since this prob arose. I must of hit something in one of those programs that stopeed it (Safari) from DL anything at all. I ithen re-installed Saf, same thing still. Then tried "SeaMonkey" b/c "FoxFire" doesn't work w/ 10.5 (?) Sea Monkey works a bit w/ a combo of "Zipeg" but I've really never had a problem w/ Safari???  Any other suggesteions are really apprecieted!

    how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

    Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com.  login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

  • Safari and aol won't download anything. What can i do to fix that?

    My internet browsers seem to be in a funk. For some reason i can't download anything off the internet. However, My iTunes can dowload songs fine and i can still dowload updates for all the applications i already have. I just can't download any new applications with safari or aol. If you can think of anything that could help that would be great. Thanks.

    Hi Jordan,
    Let's try one of the easier solutions. Go to your Finder: HD>Users>your User Account>Library>Safari folder. In that folder you'll see Download.plist. Move that file to the trash, then restart Safari and try a download.

  • Safari and Firefox will not download anything.

    Whenever I click on a link to download anything, Safari crashes. Funnily enough, the only thing I have managed to download is Firefox. In Firefox, there is the same problem, but Firefox doesn't crash when I try to download, it just does nothing. I tried the Disk First Aid thing that was mentioned in other topics, and resetting safari. I don't think it's the download links that are wrong, because I've tried 5 or so downloads and they all crash safari. Could someone test and see if this downloads:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/radio_podcasts/lastfmrecenttracks.html
    which is what I was trying to download first last night that wouldn't work. Any help is appreciated :]

    I tried deleting those files
    Exactly which files did you delete? Some programs, such as, but not limited to, Speed Download, require that you use their provided uninstaller. Dragging the app to the trash will only lead to problems. Some plugins, such as PithHelmet, only work with specific browsers (Safari & Shiira for PithHelmet) so they would not affect behavior in other programs.
    Have you tried using a new user account? If not, do so to see if your problem is account or system related. To create a new account, open System Preferences and click on Accounts. You may have to click on the padlock and give your admin name and password to create an account. Click on the plus sign in the lower right corner to create the new account. I see no reason to give it a password. You can delete this account later using using the minus key, although I have kept my second account to use for testing (the user folder only takes up 32 kb).

  • Safari quits whenever i try to download anything

    safari quits whenever attempting to download anything. specifically, we are trying to download the updater for sims 2 from macgamefiles.com. but, it also happens when trying to download podcasts or anything else. any suggestions?

    alex,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you have any 3rd party apps on there that are supposed to "enhance your internet experience?"
    Like iGetter, Speed Download, AcidSearch, PithHelmet, Safari Enhancer, or other stuff like that?????? Or even worse, Norton or Virex? These are the most common causes of download problems.
    Get back to us and let us know which of these kinds of apps
    have ever been installed on your Mac, OK?

  • HOW can I FIX Mavericks and Safari 7.0 to allow Gmail to work?  Gmail has been FUBAR'd since downloading Mavericks today.  Finally found the brute-force logout site to just getr logged out; can't keep doing that.  Other features no longer work, either.

    Made big mistake of downloading Mavericks today.
    Been struggling with all the FUBARd messes it caused, ALL DAY.
    Google basic buttons don't work--can't log out or other basic functions.
    Website use is impaired.
    It took almost 3 hours to do a basic online order on one of them--at this rate, I'll be out of business soon, and it's seriously impairing Christmas preparations!
    Google Voice/Video are screwed up, had to RE-download their voice/video plugin all over again--again.
    Voice/video quality is REALLY poor.
    Lag times in so many things are bad.
    Thought this would download WITH the better writing/bookkeeping programs--NOT!
    Mac Maps is piddle compaired with GoogleMaps.
    The Email program on the desktop is REALLY hard to use, has few useful functions.  It's MAYbe good if one only has ONE email; using it with severeal various email accounts is a serious liability in many ways--like filing, sorting, marking, etc.; no clear way to move email files to an external drive to save, to unload the HD.
    HOW can Safari and Mavericks be fixed?
    IF not, HOW can I REMOVE Mavericks and get back to Mountain Lion--which was not too great, but certainly more functional than Mavericks!
    I NEED my web-based emails to work--NOW...NOT when Mac finally gets around to fixing things sometime later.
    I NEED online ordering to work--NOW--not later when Mac finally gets around to fixing things.
    PLEASE someone--any help out there?  I couldn't even find but a rare hint that Safari 7.0 even exists--much less that anyone admits it's got problems, nor fixes for it.
    What to do?  Throw the whole unit out? Wipe and reboot?  Dumb it back to OS 10? HOW? WHAT?
    [freaking out here...]

    Zak Adelman, LexSchellings,
    It's a shiney new computer.  Came loaded with Mountain Lion.
    Too busy learning to use the blessed thing, to download anything....except...
    The only pluggin that had to be loaded, was Google Voice-Video pluggin, while Lion was still it's OS.  [AND been using the Safari that came already in it.]   Had to do that a couple times--nothing new there--that plug-in had to be re-loaded when using a PC, too--THAT happened even before Google slammed everyone into coerced use of it's Google+. 
        [I understood from others, that Firefox won't work in Mac units--or I woulda put that in it to see if that solved anything]
    This unit seemed a bit sluggish from the git-go, out-of-the-box. 
    I figured that was probly the local DSL here---rural DSL is...um...our DSL's not something to brag about, but it's the best we can do...
    The difference between speed of loading pages, etc. on the new Mac, was --not-- toooo terribly different--though yes, slower on Mac....and chalked it up to my inexperience with Mac. 
    Been trying to get things up and running for a bit over a month now.
    NOT doing very well at it--just barely getting by; rapidly falling behind what needs done [work]. 
    Google worked just --OK-- when OS was Lion, as did the Google voice/video--slower, and voice-video was kinda scratchy or glitchy, but worked enough to --get by--.
    Loading Mavericks, ruined that.  
    VOIP calls via Google talk have bad echio, static, cut-outs; video calling was pixilated or not working; WAS cued to re-load it's Voice-Video plug-in....which seemed to help a bit, though not very well; it only helped the Voice-Video some, not all--figured that was probably Google issues, less than Mac's, since Google has been increasingly dysfunctional as they have twisted it to be a social media-dominant thing.
    [[now seeking an email venue that does what Gmail was good at, including the Voice-video calling, that has no intention of turning itself inside out to be "social"]]
    Can't sign out of Gmail or Google+, nor use buttons in upper right corner with the drop-down menu.  
    NO buttons in upper right corner cluster on Gmail work, except the name+ button to toggle over to Google+---which I don't need! [yeah--THAT's a Google problem!] 
    Can only switch to HTML version by catching that button as the account signs in--if one fails to be fast enough with their fingers, it goes to Google+; can't get to email unless type in mail.google.com.
    Managed to catch that button today, and clicked to use HTML "permanently" until these issues get solved.
    ALSO:
    Have fairly new [about 1 year?] HP bluetooth printer-scanner. 
    BUT, after Mavericks loaded: it HAS the unit listed, HAS drivers for it, HP unit IS listed as default printer, everything --seems-- "go",
    .....except Mac keeps posting it's out of ink, and/or, not hooked up, and/or not turned on--even when it is on.
    It's SUPPOSED to be blue-toothing that printer/scanner.   
    It did it for Lion, before loading Mavericks, even though it was troublesome to get it to work, it at least HAD printed one document when Lion was the OS.  
    Thank you...Downloaded EtreCheck: 
    BTW:  Trying to copy/paste data from that check list, to this post, was achaic: 
    had to use Edit, select all, then use edit again to get it pasted--the mouse buttons weren't allowed to copy-paste using right-click functions [is this a relic limited-function "thing" with Mac?, or is it because I wanted to keep using this new wirless, non-Mac mouse?].
    Advice?

  • How can I get an updated safari browser?

    Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro, Mac OS X, version 10.6.8; I am getting error messages about updating my browser.  I checked the apple store to see if I could download a new version of Safari, but could not.  How can I get an updated safari browser at this time without downloading the new OS X Yosemite.  I know I might need to download the Yosemite, but would prefer to wait untill all the glitches are fixed.  I have learned that the Yosemite may cause wifi failure and e-mail connection problems.  Since I am not a computer expert, I don't need the headaches trying to figure out how what is wrong and how to fix a bug, so I would prefer to wait untill apple has totally fixed all the glitches that the Yosemite has. In the meanwhile, I just need to know how to go about updating a newer version of safari. I thing I have a 5.0
    I would be greatfull for your help or response.
    "New to this"
    <Subject Edited by Host>

    Safari 5.1.10 is the newest version for Snow Leopard, and all available Mac OS X upgrades other than Yosemite require a purchase. You may want to switch to another browser, such as Firefox, temporarily.

    how to get current version of safari. without having safari browser?

    I don't understand the question. Safari is a browser.
    Can you elaborate on what your are trying to do that initiated the question? People may be able to come up with some other option that gets you working the away you want.
    When you respond, please post the version of the Mac OS and the version of Safari you currently have. Otherwise, people are guessing and the quailty of help you get plummets.

  • How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

    How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

    This is what I was told:
    Double tap the home key...press and hold the icon...when the minus appears on the icon, tap the minus.
    This will delete the aforementioned icon from the task bar. When the icon disappears, the browser, or any app, is then closed.
    Is that correct?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How do I solve problem that safari cannot open because of too many redirects?

    How do I fix problem that safari can't open because of too many redirects?

    Try clearing the browser cache and delete any cookies for that site. If that doesn't resolve it, then that's a problem with the web-site itself, so unless it is your own website, you can't fix it.
    Often it's a bug in the website code that detects what device/browser you are using and it gets stuck in a re-direct loop. You could contact the website developers and inform them.
