I am trying to download a ringtone on my iphone, keep getting message "safari can't download file."

How do I download a ringtone? I keep getting the message "safari can't download file".

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.

Apple's download AND activation servers are being stressed today with all the downloads/activations. It might be best to wait and try later.

What version of iTunes are you currently running? To check, in iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. For example, I see:
iTunes: 10.5.2.11

Trying to download an ebook on ipad. Keep getting message "ibooks is required."

Been trying to download ebooks on ipad. Keep getting message "ibooks is required." deleted ibooks and reinstalled, but still same problem. Even erased my ipad, still no luck. Can someone suggest a solution. Extremely frustrating. Wake up apple..
Thanks in advance.

Try simply restarting your device. Also, try signing out of iTunes and sign back in. If that doesn't work then go into the iBooks app and get books from there. You can tap Store in the upper left hand corner to take you to the ibooks store.

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?

Is there a problem with iPhone update server, I can't seem to update my IOS on my wife's 3GS iPhone, keep getting message that the server is not reachable, yet I am connected to internet and had no problem syncing the phone or downloading iTunes software

What's up with the iPhone update server. I have repeatedly tried in recent days to update the IOS software on my wife's 3GS iPhone but keep getting message that the iPhone update server cannot be contacted. The phone syncs normally and I am sure I am connected to the internet properly. Also I have successfully updated ITunes software during this same time frame. What gives??

Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and look at this section.
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

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/.

I've downloaded 6.0.2 several times. Each time the download doesn't "stick". I keep getting message "you are working with insecure version".

1. Firefox downloads. On screen is "opening Firefox 6.0.2.dmg". I choose "Save File". It is saved in downloads. I open the file.
2. I move Firefox icon into Applications Folder. Message the "Firefox.app" already exists in this location". I replace it. Firefox app copies.
3. Next message is "updates available at http:www.firefox.com"
4. Sometimes I receive message "you are using an insecure versions".
Help, please and thank you.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

When I click on Firefox.exe I get error message Can't start Firefox.exe as js3250.dll missing. When I try to re-download Firefox I get message saying can't download because Firefox is already running, but it isn't. How and where can I get js3250.dll?

Why punish me for a few too many keystrokes by deleting what I have already entered below my question. You're becoming MS.

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.
