I can't download anything from the internet

I can't download anything! I've tried downloading software updates, widgets, you name it. The page flashes quickly and nothing happens.
Any idea what's going on?
thank you in advance!

Hi
Two of several possibilities:
Do you have a Download accelerator installed in your system? The most popular is Speed Download? Enter Speed Download in your Finder's Spotlight panel. If installed, you'll either need to become a registered user or uninstall the Plug-in.
If no, You may have a corrupted Safari Downloads file. Go to your Finder: Your User Account>Library>Safari. There, move the Downloads.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari and try a Download.

My macbook pro can't download anything from the internet

Hi, I tried to download some software from the internet (like MAMP, tomtom, or samsung kies). When I clicked the download button, instead of downloading, my page reloaded and nothing happend. At first I tought something was wrong with Safari, so I tried using Chrome, but nothing changes. Also tried with Firefox and opera, also still can't download. Does anyone know what to do? I need to download some of the software for my classes.
thanks

TS1368 I can't download anything from the app store or iTunes today on my ipad2. Doesn't matter whether it is a previously purchased app or a new one. Help???

I havent had any problems with my iPad2 until today. I cannot download anything from the app store or iTunes. Doesn't matter if it's a previously purchased app or a new one. Help???
I just get a message--- after a long wait where the app icon says "waiting" that I can't connect to iTunes.
Wifi signal is strong. All bars.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6...can I download it from the internet?

I bought this program some yearsai ago and had it installed on my old computer. I live in another country now and have a new computer....I do not have the original disk with me...is it possible for me to download the program again from the internet? I do have the registration code.
Thanks for your help.

Well you can ask for upgrade price which is usually < than the full product price. On Adobe.com you will be able to find only latest version. You might look on web and check if any other vendor is having PSE6 but i fear since it is 4-5 yrs old so hard to find the same. If you have cd/dvd for PSE 6 you can reinstall. Make sure you have serial key with you for the same if it used to need it.

Can I download something from the internet that is only meant for windows? Can I make it work with safari?

I would like to download a business program from the internet, but it is only meant for windows. Can I make it work on my mac?

You are aware that you can purchase and install a copy of Windows directly on your Mac, right?
Boot Camp is included with OS X, and requires that you create a separate partition for Windows and install it onto your Mac hard drive. You re-boot your Mac computer into Windows when you want to run the Windows app.
There are also virtual machine environments that will allow you to run full Windows at the same time as Mac OS X: Parallels Desktop, and VMWare Fusion.
Windows performance running in a virtual environment will be limited by the amount of RAM available, the microprocessor, and the amount of hard disk space available.
Parallels offers a free 15-day trial, but you still need a full licensed copy of Windows in order to test it.

I can't download anything of the Internet, thus no anti virus. What do I do?

I have just brought a new iPad 2 and also got norton anti virus but it will not down load with a message along the lines of 'safari can not download this'. I have also tried download different ones but still the same message, any suggestions please.

You can only install apps from the iTunes app store on your computer and/or the App Store app directly on the iPad - PC and Mac software are not compatible with the iPad, they are different operating systems.
I'm also not aware of any viruses on iOS devices, and there are therefore no anti-virus apps available for it.

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.

I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download the Kobo reader app. can I download things from the internet that are not available in the apple store?

I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download from the internet (such as Kobo) that are not available on the app store. It asked me if I was sure it was safe, so it's got me worried.

If you know the sites are OK, then download away.

Why i can't download anything from the app store? (It turns up "Error en el App Store. Vuelve a intentarlo más tarde. (null)"

I am trying to download a game from the app store to my apple but it turns up "Error en el App Store. Vuelve a intentarlo más tarde. (null)".
I am trying to download any other thing from the store and i can´t.
I would like that somebody could tell me if it is a problem of my computer or if it is an apple problem , and if i can do something to solve the problem.

That cryptic error message might mean that the payment information in your account is invalid. Check with your credit-card issuer to see whether a charge was denied. If not, see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Y I can't download anything from the App Store to my iPod touch 4

Can't download any apps from the store with upgrade. And my device won't let me
Upgrade to iOS7

I suspect you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

I did the latest download for my iPad and now I can not download anything from the App Store or iTunes. Please advice how I can fix this problem?

I downloaded the last update on my iPad and now I can not download from the apple store or iTunes. I just sits there and continues to act like it will but nothing happens. And then it times out and goes back to home screen. Have a 32 so have have plenty of room.
What would you advice I do? I purchased this iPad in dec 2013.

Double tap your home button to bring up the most recently used apps.
You'll see the app icon below and a screen shot of the app page above.
With your finger swipe the app page above the app icon upwards to fully close the apps (you should do this regularly).
Now, reboot your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any data or settings.
When your iPad comes back up, see if you can download again.
