I'm downloading a large file through Safari, but it keeps returning to the homescreen and the download stops. How do I stop this?

If it's not a jpeg or PDF, you can't download it on the iPad.

    Apparently cookies was turned off in Safari. I rarely use it so I have no idea how that happened. Anyway, turning them on seems to have cured the problem.

  • My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs. it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this?

    My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs, it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this? I just bought the computer last month so this is some what frustrating.

    If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it.  (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

  • Every time I download a large file in safari (mavericks version) at the end i get the error cannot write file. help

    evrytime i dowload a file on my macbook pro it tells me at the end that it cannot write the File. Small files download Ok but Large files do not.
    Help Please.
    mackbook pro 13 late 2012 upgraded to Mavericks restored backup from M lion with time Machine.
    Thx

    I am experiencing this as well.  I've found a workaround.  Once you know the file has stopped (the Safari download menu says it cannot write the file) then do the following:
    1. Open the Downloads folder.
    2. Open Terminal.
    3. In Terminal type "cd " and then drag the "incomplete" .download file to terminal (this just copies the path), then hit "Return" and you will change into the directory.
    4. Type "ls -l" and you should see within the .download bundle, the complete file is actually there and complete.
    5. Now, let's say the file name is "file.mp4" type "mv file.mp4 ../" and it will be moved out of the bundle one level up into the Downloads folder.  You may need to enclose the file name in quotes if it has any special characters.
    6. You can now drag the .download container to the trash, and the file should be fine.

  • HT5313 I cannot download & open pdf files on Safari but can do so on Google Chrome browser?

    After upgrading to Lion 10.7.4 , I cannot open pdf files on Safari 5.1.7 but can do so on Google chrome browser? I get a message that the file cannot be exported?

    look in
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    and remove any with 'pdf' in the name, then restart safari.
    failing that - check in the same folder within your user 'home' Library
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    in either case, you can triple-click the names above to select, then ctrl-click & choose Services - Open which should open a new Finder window showing the folder

  • My Mail has frozen - can access my hotmail through Safari but Mail now has a blank rectangle on the screen and the inbox underneath it has not updated for 2 days

    Mail giving problems. Small white rectangular box comes up on screen and inbox underneath has not updated for 2 days.
    I can use Safari to get new messages but, since getting this laptop, when I go to Hotmail via Safari old messages self delete every so often, whereas via Mail messages stay in the inbox unless I actually delete them. Any suggestions?

    Here is a photo of what I see when I tap on the mail icon to open it. It stays there for a second or two and then goes dark. Then I actually have to put my iPad into sleep mode in order to use it again. The app will NOT close no matter what I do, just shutting it down or put it in sleep and then restart  it.
    here is when I tap the mail icon. It looks like an empty page but you will see the format of the mail page. Next photo is what is see after a second. And the last photo is what I see before the iPad locks up or Les blank. I hope this makes things clearer as to what the problem is. Thanks for your help, hope this helps! Diane May.

  • Download several large files - get CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR

    Dear all,
    I want to download several large files from the application server to frontend with function module GUI_DOWNLOAD. I use a loop over the several filenames and download the files with following code:
      DATA: l_append        TYPE as4flag,
                 l_count         TYPE i,
                 l_max           type i    value 50000,
                 ls_ziel         TYPE string,
                 ls_download_txt LIKE LINE OF gt_download_txt,
                 lt_download_tmp LIKE gt_download_txt.
      CONCATENATE p_front gs_sel_table-selname '.' 'txt' INTO ls_ziel.
      IF NOT gt_download_txt[] IS INITIAL.
        LOOP AT gt_download_txt INTO ls_download_txt.
          APPEND ls_download_txt TO lt_download_tmp.
          IF l_count = l_max.
    CALL of FUNCTION MODUL GUI_DOWNLOAD    
            REFRESH lt_download_tmp[].
            CLEAR l_count.
            l_append = 'X'.
          ENDIF.
          l_count = l_count + 1.
        ENDLOOP.
    If I only download one large file, there is no problem. But when I want to download more then one file the function module returns the error CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR.
    I can not say at which file the error occurs (2nd, 3rd, ...) I think it depends on the file size. Several smaller files are no problem. At two large files I get the error.
    Does anyone has an idea?
    Kind regards,
    Sven

    Hi,

  • When downloading a large file, like a movie Internet Explorer automatically provides one with the choice of where to save it - e.g. "C" drive, but Firefox doesn't. How can it be done?

    When downloading a large file, like a movie, Internet Explorer automatically opens a download window offering the choice to "Open" or "Save"the file. This provides one with the choice of where to save it - e.g. "C" drive, in the "My Documents" or "Desktop" folders but Firefox's download window doesn't. This has always frustrated me because I would rather use Firefox exclusively to access the Internet, but when it comes to saving files downloaded off the Internet, sadly, I have to revert to IE!

    If you click on Firefox from the upper-left, then Options, a new window should appear. On that window, click on the general tab. In the middle of the window, you'll see options regarding your downloads, one of which says, "Always ask me where to save files." Click on the bubble for this options, then click Ok. From then on, you should always be prompted on where you want your files saved.

  • I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

    I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

    The D610 needs ACR 8.3 so you are easily covered there.  I am not entirely clear on the process you are using the bring the files onto your hard drive.  The safest way is to simply bring all the NEF files into a folder on your hard drive, then find them with bridge and open from there.
    If still stuck, open Photoshop, and go Help > About plugins > Camera RAW and check that 8.7 installed OK.

  • When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls

    When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls
    If I rename the file, it opens just fine, if I don't it opens all in one column.
    I had found a fix on my old macbook, but just got a new MBP and it's happening again.
    Can't remember or find where the fix is.
    Thanks!

    Safari: Downloaded file's filename may have an additional extension
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24293
    That's from June 11, 2007!
    Working from my defective memory, this happened to me, but stopped if I unchecked 'Open safe files after downloading' in Safari Preferences/General.
    At least I think that's how I stopped it - it hasn't happened since!

  • HT201413 I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website.  I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it.  I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file.  Any ideas?

    I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website.  I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it.  I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file.  I have downloaded apps before with no problems.  This is the first music download I have purchased on my ipad2.  Maybe it has something to do with the security on the email I received from the artist containing the download.  I have the latest iTunes OS and apple iPad 2. O.S.  Any ideas on what to do?

    You can't download music via Safari on the iPad - you will need to download it on your computer, add it to your computer's iTunes, and then sync it to the iPad.

  • Is it possible to upload large files through FTP to server with iWeb?

    Is it possible to upload large files through FTP to server with iWeb like for example with Cyberduck?
    I don't need to publish website with files, I just need to upload files on server. Can it be done somehow with iWeb?

    Here's some info about FTP...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
    Make sure you are allowed to store files on your server. Most hosting services don't allow anything to be stored that can't be accessed via the internet. Check the fine print!

  • Put File of a large file through FTP not working correctly

    I put a lot of large files to my web server through Dreamweaver, and when I get files larger than about 45 meg, the file is put fine to the server.  But then Dreamweaver waits for a server responce to make sure it got the file.  and after about 30 seconds or so, it says server timed out, and it starts over with the FTP, and the first thing it does on the start over is to delete the file.
    The only wai I have been able to put my large files to the server, is to sit and wait for it to finish, and then cancel the check for if the file is there or not.
    I have my FVT server timeout set to 300 seconds, but that does not help eihter.  it still times out after about 30 seconds.
    Is there a fix for this so I don't have to sit and watch my files being transfered to the server?

    I changed it to passive PTF, but that did not help, sending a 90 Meg file did the same thing.  What the problem is, is that the Dreamweaver FTP wants to verify that the file got there. and when you send that large of a file, the server wants to make sure it is a clean file, so it takes a while to put it to the correct location.  And while the server is doing this, Dreamweaver says that there is no responce from the server, and causes a reconnect.  and on the reconnect it starts over, and the first thing it does is to make sure the file is deleted.  What it should do it verify that the file is there and the same date as the one you sent up there.  That would eliminate this problem.  I was hoping there was a setting in Dreamweaver that I could tell the FTP not to verify the send.
    Are there any Dreamweaver developers that visit this forum. that could tell me how to bypas the verify on put.  It seams silly to have a tool that costs this much that can not do a task that a free pice of software can do.

  • Playing MIDI files through safari browser

    I have been using an online web app called "piano player plus" that uses MIDI files to teach the piano and the app works for pcs using some kind of virtual synth built into windows called "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth"... however there doesn't seem to be a way to integrate the application with safari.
    If there is a way I can just route the midi information to go to a synth that would be amazing. Coz I know a lot of mac users are having the same problem. Its one of those rare occasions where pcs are easier than macs.
    I don't know what the IAC bus does but could that work?
    Thanks

    Hi
    the issue is, those pages use the bgsound tag to play the midi files, and only Internet Explorer supports it. The file is perfectly playable in safari or any browser, or quicktime player.
    eg http://www.hearandplay.com/s05.mid (this will likely download automatically, due to the way their server is configured)
    Short of seeing if the ancient & unsupported & insecure IE5 will run on your mac, assuming you can find a download ( don't bother looking at Microsoft ), you're stuck. apart from checking the source code of each page & downloading each midi file to play in Quicktime... better finding another online tutor site, I'd think; sorry.
