I can't open downloads

Up until yesterday, I had no problems opening documents sent me as attachments to an e-mail. Now I can't open any.

Hi,
Please try a '''Ctrl '''+ '''F5 '''refresh of the mail page. This helps to bring in the page contents afresh. Previously, were the documents opened in another application or were they opened inside Firefox??

  • Can't open downloaded files

    Help! I can't open downloads from the internet or e-mail in preview. It seems to be happening with both pdfs and jpegs. It just started yesterday, and I'm not sure why. It gives me a message stating that the file may be corrupted or the wrong file type. The file type is not wrong, and it says this for files from any source even trusted ones. Any help is much appreciated!!

    HI,
    Assuming you are using Safari... try maintenance.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons then cick Reset.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty Cache.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
    • Downloads.plist
    • History.plist
    • LastSession.plist
    Restart Safari.

  • Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad

    Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad Brooks i was reading some days ago.

    You can't - ibooks from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple haven't so far made a Mac or PC reader for them
    If you don't have one of those iOS devices, then though all purchases are considered final, you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Can't open download folder in my mac

    help!!!! I can't open download folder anymore. Anyone can help me out?

    My case is little different than what you said above. When I click the Download Fold that is in the dock, it just pops up a blank window. Then even I click the Finder in dock, it pops up blank window as well. However I still can open Finder with "Conmand + N". I clicked Download Folder the one in the home folder, it does not respond.
    Just let you know I am using Lion os x, the folders in the home folder can not be modified and deleted.
    I tried using spotlight to open it, but it still doesn't work.

  • I can't open downloaded files within Mozilla Firefox Particularly PDF files. I have Adobe Acrobat on my machine . Do I need to import it to firefox if so how do I do it ?

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • Can not open download folder in Finder after update to OS X Lion

    Hi there. I have recently upgraded to OS X Lion. The upgrade was smooth. But since the upgrade I am unable to open Download folder in Finder. If I select Download in Finder's sidebar nothing happens. Finder won't display content of Download folder. If I go and select Home folder in sidebar, Finder displays content of my Home folder including Download. If I double click Download folder to access it nothing happens again. Cant access it. But if expand download folder using triangle next to it, Finder will expand me Download folder and show it's content...
    I tried to verify and repair my permissions with Disk Utility, but did not solve my issuel. It is very frustrating scenario, since Download folder is something I access every day multiple times.
    Any ides what can I do?

    I found a solution that worked for me. Seems like my firewall did not accept the afp connection permissions anymore after installing lion... Since everything worked well turning off the firewall.
    So if you don't want to keep your firewall disactivated here is what worked for me:
    - Leave your firewall activated.
    - Turn OFF afp file sharing in the sistem prefs
    - Restart your Machine
    - Turn ON afp file sharing
    - You should now get a message if you want to accept afp connections...
    - click YES
    Seems like this resets somehow the afp permissions in the firewall settings
    Everything fine on my network now.

  • I can´t open downloaded documents anymore

    I had no problems with leopard, but since I installed snow leopard (and also afterwards mavericks) I can´t open most files I download from my firefox gmail or hotmail. I want to open a word or pages file with pages and it is the standard program for opening the file but everytime I get the message that I cannot open it.
    Can someone help me to solve this?

    Maysun wrote:
    ...I have also tried updating pages and done a restart but it doesn´t help.
    It is pages ´09 version 4.0 (727)
    I have no experience with Pages but it's common for newer versions of software to be compatible with earlier file format versions of the same program but not the other way around. From what I've read, there were substantial changes from version 4 to version 5, and it's likely the new files you're downloading were created or updated in the newer version.
    On further investigation, it looks like "you can't get there from here" and you have company in that. See this discussion for why you can't unless you upgrade to version 5 and lose a lot of features.

  • Can't open 'Downloads' folder. Finder crash.

    Can't open my 'Downloads' folder. Every attempt to open it crashes Finder and restores a new finder window. However I have no problems with other folders. I appreciate any input or suggestions. Using a Late 2009 White Unibody Macbook with OS X Lion 10.7.1.
    Thanks.

    Solved.
    Went into terminal and deleted the corrupted .DS_Store file.

  • [SOLVED] Firefox 1.5 in KDE can't open downloads from

    Hi there. I have searched a lot of forums and google for that one but haven't found a cure so I'm hoping someone here can help me.
    When I download files they go, as usual, in my downloads folder and appear in firefox' download manager window. There i have options to remove it from the window or open it.  Removing obviously erases the entry from the window, but "open" doesn't do anything.  I would like to associate the open link to opening my documents with the appropriate application but I can't seem to find how to do it.
    In the Downloads section of the option menu there is a possibility to "View & Edit Actions" but there is only possibility to remove or edit actions and not add a new one...
    To be fair, it's not an arch-specific problem as I have had this same problem before moving here a few weeks ago (running 0.7.1 right now)
    Thank you for your time

    Thank you Ryochan7, you were right on the money. I was wondering why all the posts I found in my search ended up talking about nautilus.  I just installed it with it's 10MB of dependancies (too bad for that...) and now all I can easily open any downloaded file straight from the firefox download manager.
    Thanx for the info and time
