I am unable to save download installer

I downloaded firefox browser yesterday. Today I uninstalled the program because it kept loading sweeptstakes pages. So I decided to get a fresh download after the uninstall and I wasn't able to successfully download the installer file. When I try to download firefox browser and I am prompted to save the installer file, I select save and get an error indicating the file is unable to be saved. No matter how many times I hit "try again" I am unable to save the file and can't get the browser. I've already tried turning the firewall off. It still doesn't work. I hope there is a solution.
Thanks for your help.

Try this:
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that helps.

  • Can't save downloads

    Can anyone help ? I am unable to save downloads into my itunes library. I can download from the itunes store or upload a CD into my library but when I log out it won't save.
    I get a message "The itunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-50)"
    I phoned the helpline and they told me to save my library and uninstall itunes which I did. When I installed it again the problem was still there.
    They said they couldn't suggest anything else !
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    What kind of PC? If it's a Sony Vaio, read through this older topic. It's some Sony software conflicting iwth itunes. Redkeefy has a good post on it.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1800551&tstart=90
    If it's not a Vaio, then check what other software could be preventing the library getting saved. You could also move the library into a new folder to fake out whatever is "watching" the itunes folder.
    See if you have a bunch of TMP files in your itunes folder, like this person

  • How to save downloaded update installer files

    How can I locate a downloaded update installer file so I can save it and use to install on another mac without having to download all over again?  Today I downloaded updates for OS X and also for Office 2011.  The first is over 2GB and the second around 300MB.  I have installed on my Macbook Pro, but I have another 3 units to update. I live in a 3rd world country with very slow internet and it takes me days to download such files.

    Grateful for you having replied but for some reason I seem unable to open your message "Re: How to save downloaded update installer files".  Waikato99

  • Unable to save or download files, already tried suggested options

    I'm not the most tech-savvy creature on the planet, so bear with me.
    For a while now, I've been unable to save or download files using Firefox. IE isn't working either, but I only initially used IE on this computer to download Firefox anyway. I've tried the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable%20to%20download%20or%20save%20files suggested options].
    I'm not incapable of downloading though - Steam and the Blizzard launcher are still working as always. AVG's updating download, hoever, doesn't appear to work. On occasion, I have been able to download things - VLC Media Player and seldomly an item I attempt to download will successfully be saved. It's so infrequent and unpredictable though, that I can't reliably find out what's allowing me to do so. Needless to say, since my virus and spyware scanners appear to be borked, I'm more than a touch worried and unable to download any suggested alternatives.
    When downloading a file, it will briefly appear in the location I saved it to before vanishing. I ask now because my computer's performance has seriously dropped within the last month or so, and I'm not convinced I'll be able to sort it out while I'm so thoroughly grounded without downloads.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there, I've had a java problem ever since i removed an old version thinking that i didnt need it because i had newer versions, well, i've learned alot since then, but unfortunately not enough. I play an online game called runescape. For one month now, i've been searching up on google, EVERYWHERE, trying to find help so i can play my game again.
    I get up to a point where the game loads the game script, and on 100% comes up with an error "Error_loader_savefile - Unable to save to cache". I've tried everything, i've installed almost all of the java versions, I've been through environment variable settings and made sure that the PATH is pointing to a version of java, What can i do, im desperate for help, please post back. CHEERS

  • Otally unable to save a download. Unable to run a download and used up all the faq suggestions

    I am unable to save or run a download. The reason being ' unable to read source code' Contact server administrator. I have used up all the suggestions in faq's and am able to download using explorer

    I'm a designer not a code-geek and people like me need an easy way to grab screenshots. Codelines in developer tool is not an option! And the F1-option mentioned above does not work...
    Please, please give us the screen grab add-ons back!!!
    Or you have to implement a "right-click" feature within FF for screengrabbing...
    If not I'll have to downgrade my FF.
    (By the way - I've deselected the automatic upgrade option! Never again will I accept an auto upgrade!)

    Office for Mac 2004 is NOT compatible with Lion. It must be upgraded to Office for Mac 2008 or 2011, once you have upgraded the files will be accessable. Office for Mac 2004 is written for old PPC (Power PC) based machines. Beginning with Lion support for PPC based apps has been dropped.

    Today while working on PS Elements 12 I was asked if I wanted to save my work. I said yes. After that I was unable to save my editing work on PSE 12. I use OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. Instead of saving my work I continue to get a "could not complete your request because of a program error. My work can't be saved. I tried downloading the Creative Cloud and tried both settings, save to the cloud and do not save to the cloud. Either way I cannot save my work and I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Sorry, but I don't understand. PSE has nothing at all to do with creative cloud. If you're saying that you can't save work in any program, that's probably something wrong with your OS X installation. If you just are having a problem in PSE, the first thing to do is to go to the editor's preferences>general, click this button, and restart the editor:

  • Firefox can't save downloads on OS X

    I have an installation with FF 32.0.3 on Apple OS X 10.9.5 which is unable to save any downloads.
    I can start a download, FF creates the .part-file, furthermore the real filename will be created too. The download manager immediately shows "Failed" for the download and the file with the real filename is empty. Sometimes the part-File contains the data, but not always.
    I've tried all from http://mzl.la/LJ0h2w, nothing worked.
    I created a new FF-profile, does not work.
    When I switch to another user on this Mac it will work. So it is in fact a setting within this user. But where to look further?
    Thanks in advance an best regards, Ric.

    Thanks for your input. Download dir is Desktop and permissions are as follows:
    computername:~ username$ ls -l|grep Desktop
    drwx------+ 19 username admin 646 14 Okt 14:31 Desktop
    Doesn't matter what directory we choose, it is always the same behavior.
    FF creates the .part file which contains the download itself. Then FF creates the final file but the size is always zero. It looks like the last step - move the content into the final file - will fail:
    computername:Desktop username$ ls -l
    -rw-r--r--@ 1 username admin 0 14 Okt 14:24 downloadfile.pdf
    -rw-r--r--@ 1 username admin 90016 14 Okt 14:23 tbsWPYgF.pdf.part
    So FF can create and name files. If I rename the part file by hand it will run fine.
    FF runs with user privilegs:
    computername:Desktop username$ ps -eo ruser,f,comm|grep Firefox
    username 4084 /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
    I set browser.download.debug tot true. Firebug shows:
    "NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE: Async version must be used - nsHelperAppDlg.js (Line 207)"
    I don't know if this is important or not, it comes up on downloads.
    I worked through all the hints about download errors, nothing helped so far.
    Any more ideas?

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

    That's it really.

  • Unable to save webi report in excel format

    Hi All,
    I have a question. I recently upgrsded my internet explorer from IE 7 to IE 8.
    Previously, i was able to save webi reports in excel format without any issues.Even after upgrading to IE version8, i was able to save webi reoprts to excel without any issues for 2 weeks.
    Suddenly I am unable to save Webi reports in excel format now.When I select the Save to my computer as Excel option the saving dialog box appears and hangs forever.
    Can someone please advise me on this??
    Please hel as it is very urgent.

  • Error while creating task: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again. (SharePoint 2013)

    I get the following error while saving a task inside task list:
    "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I tried restarting "search service host controller".
    The server has 8 GB RAM and according to task manager, 6.67 GB is being used.
    I logged into the site with user which is the owner of the site. I tried creating tasks from client as well as the SharePoint server itself. Same error is shown in both the cases.
    How do I find information on the exact problem that is causing the error? What are possible solutions?

    Hi robikshrestha,
    This error message often shows when there is low memory that can be used, the workaround restart the “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” service is to release some memory, and make it work. Whether restart the service release memory
    in your situation?
    Would you please check whether this issue happens all the time in task list, or happens sometimes when the memory is lower to use. If it doesn’t have a large impact, you can restart the server, check the result. have a look at the event
    log and ULS log, see whether there is related information.
    If it happens all the time, would you please use other browsers, whether the results are same? This may be caused by some add-ons in IE, like Free Download Manager I have seen.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to save ANY types of files in Elements 5.0

    Today I was working with Elements, creating a photomanipulation. This involved several layers, including a background of a beach, a horse, and some text. I've done this before with this exact same program on this exact same computer and not had too many problems. But not today.
    Today when I try to save my creation, in ANY format, I get this message:
    Could not save as
    "C:\Users\User\...\Untitled-1.jpg" because the file is already in use or was left open.
    GAHH!!!! Well of COURSE the stupid file is open, I'm working ON IT and trying to save my work!!! If I try to close the file, I get the standard question:
    Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop Elements document "Untitled-1" before closing?
    to which if I say yes, I get the same old crap:
    Could not save as
    "C:\Users\User\...\Untitled-1.jpg" because the file is already in use or was left open.
    Now if I select save as *PSD or *PDD, *SOMETIMES* it acts like it has saved my work, (Instead of just saying it can't) but when I look for what I saved, all I find are a bunch of crap files that can't be opened. Example:
    Cannot open 'C:\Users]User\Pictures\Photo Manips\~ps2AA0.tmp' because it is the wrong type of file.
    Please note that I never actually chose to save ANY files called ~ps2aa0.tmp at any point in this process.
    So I am stuck in a vicious cycle where before everything was working just fine. And it's not just editing photos or doing manipulations. I can take a brand new blank canvas, scribble a line on it with a paintbrush, and I am completely and totally unable to save even the simplest thing in ANY format whatsoever.
    I tried uninstalling Elements and reinstalling it and that did absolutely nothing, except cause me to lose all the special effect brushes I spent hours downloading. And when I started it back up, I was right where I was before, it even had the same custom color preloaded on the palette, as if it did not truly uninstall AT ALL. (Just the special brushes were missing, thanks for nothing!)
    My computer is maybe 8 months old now, a nice Hewlitt Packard with Vista. I specifically bought this computer so I could do more things with my art and more photos, and the first thing I loaded on it was the Bamboo tablet by Wacom, which came with Photoshop Elements 5.0 free. I've been using it ever since with hardly a problem and now today, I can't save the simplest little thing, and it is really aggravating me to death.
    ANY light that anyone could shed on this would be most appreciated. I'm sure it's something extremely stupid, like I found the secret invisible "do not save anything ever again" button and somehow managed to press it. Whatever it is, I can not for the life of me figure out how to make it work like it's SUPPOSED to work. Somebody please help me before I go stark raving mad.

    Further note: I have uninstalled this stupid program now THREE different times, including using a registry cleaner, which then deleted my DVD drive, thankyouverymuch. And even after I got the DVD drive back so I could reinstall the program, it was like I'd never uninstalled it (with the exception of the custom brushes still being missing) right down to the canvas size and paint color I had been using when all this started.
    So uninstalling it does nothing, resetting preferences does nothing... I can not save my work, period. I've been fighting with this for about 8 hours and I am so frustrated I could just throttle someone with my bare hands for putting me through this crap.
    For a product that came bundled with a $200 graphics tablet, it sure isn't worth a damn. Anybody got any ideas? I'm at my wits' end here.
