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.

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

Adobe Reader does not open .EXE files, it opens .PDF files. If you were on Windows I would tell you to fix the file association, but I have no idea how to do that on a Mac.

Why doesn't apple allow you to download files from the internet like how android users can?

I was using a friend's android phone yesterday and saw that he could download files a wide variety of files from the internet and that made me wonder why Apple doesn't allow iPhone users to download files like the ones you could on an android device

To keep the sort of malware rather prevalent for Android devices off of your iPhone. Depending on what you need to download, though, you can probably find a third-party app that will do it. Since such apps keep their documents in their own sandbox, it helps protect the iPhone from being infected by malicious "documents".

Thanks in advance

Hi nosebear,
this is a piece of JAVA-code to read a URL. This works also for XML-files.
You can use this in adater-module, JAVA-Mapping or UDF

Executing downloaded files from the Internet

I downloaded a software conversion program from the Internet, but everytime I execute it, the executable file runs as a Filemaker Pro 8 file. Is there a way to run this executable so that it will install the application?

The file you downloaded may have been written to run on Windows, and therefore can't be used in Mac OS X directly; if so, you can use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, or CrossOver to run it on a Mac.

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.

How to download files from the internet??

I am a new Mac user, and I am soooo befuddled by downloading files, and what to do with them once they are on the desktop/under devices in Finder. Would someone here be kind enough to explain how to do this, please, or show me in the forum where this is already covered? Thank you very much in advance.

Hiya,
Downloading files is simple. All downloads appear in a download window that will open up. Once they are downloaded, you can click the "clear" button if you wish - you don't need them in there any more, and close the window. Files will then be wherever they're set to download to in your Safari preferences - Desktop, Downloads folder etc - and can then be used as you wish, opened, edited, moved. You can drag the files from the desktop into folders in finder. Sadly, someone at Apple foolishly thinks having no "cut" option in finder as you do in windows was a good idea - not quite sure how they came to that conclusion - so you'll have to drag the files from one folder to another, or copy them and then delete the original.
If you're downloading compressed files (.zip) you may want to look up "Stuffit Expander" - a great file extraction tool.
Hope this was the information you're after.

Cannot download files from the internet

Two G4 Macs, both on OS 10.4.6. Desktop (ethernet connection) will not download files/apps -- hit the button and it very quickly flickers and says "done" but nothing has downloaded. Laptop (Airport connection) will download correctly from the same sites. Have repaired permissions, and have tried turning off firewall (Norton) with no result. Obviously some setting in the desktop, but I'm perplexed...

Hi Michael,
hit the button and it very quickly flickers and says "done" but nothing has downloaded
That description sounds like a bad/incompatible SpeedDownload installation. Do you recall installing that in the past?
Either way, try going to http://www.yazsoft.com -> Downloads and then download the installer by control-clicking/right-clicking on the download link and choose "Download Linked File". Once downloaded, run the installer, but select the Uninstall option.
Give your browsers a restart and retry after trying the uninstallation.
Edit: All Comp's are Model T's, try the same procedure as well. Hopefully $5 will be on their way to me
