Every time I log onto a new site i get the following popup:Content [application/octet-stream] found Do you want to download it to C:\Users\kathy\ ? ... Can someone please tell me what this is and how do I stop this!

'''bold text'''

Back up all data.
Check the Mail, Contacts & Calendar preference pane to make sure you're not synchronizing Notes in more than one account.
If you're not, disable Notes synchronization temporarily.
Quit Notes, if it's running.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
Copy the whole line of text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop.
The folder you're moving is named "com.apple.Notes" It is not the subfolder named "Data" or anything else.
Re-enable Notes synchronization.
Relaunch Notes and test. If it works now, delete the folder you moved. Otherwise, quit again, and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.
Caution: If you delete some or all of the contents of the selected folder, but leave the folder itself in place, the application may not launch. Deleting the folder will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Get MIME type of file returns application/octet-stream for all but txt

Eclipse 3.3.1.1, JRE 1.6.0_03, Tomcat 6.0, webwork 2.2.4
I've created a test upload/view file page. I can successfully upload and return the file to view. However, the content type is always application/octet-stream except for txt.
String contentType = new MimetypesFileTypeMap().getContentType(filename);
System.out.println("contenttype for " + filename + ": "+contentType);I created mime.types in my META-INF for tomcat and populated it, but it doesn't change anything. Uploading an mp3 should return the audio/mpeg3 I have in mime.types:
audio/mpeg3                         mp3
I verified that it is in /wtpwebapps/MyApp/META-INF/
My web.xml even has it:
    <mime-mapping>
        <extension>mp3</extension>
        <mime-type>audio/mpeg3</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>Am I missing something?

Darn it. The form gobbled up my mimeTypes.rdf code. Here it is again with the GT and LT symbols replaced with '+':

Inbound Email Attachments with MIME type of application/octet-stream

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I'm trying to start a BPEL process via email. The email can consist of no attachments or multiple attachments. All the attachments should be text, e.g. XML, CSV, etc.
Where I have got to is receiving the email and writing the attachments to variables. All is fine until I get an attachment that has a MIME type of application/octet-stream. I would only expect to see this for files that are not text based.
Does anyon know how I can inturpret this type so I can extract the text? In this example both files are text based although only the first file is displayed.

When I automate my application using selenium on firefox, Firefox gives a pop-up of "application/octet-stream".

I am automating a web application using Selenium. When I run my Selenium scripts through Selenium RC on firefox, Firefox does not invoke the application's URL and throws a pop-up:
You have chosen to open
which is a: application/octet-stream
from: http://application url...
what should firefox do with this file?
Open
Save.
If I open the same URL manually, by entering the url in browser's url bar, it gets opened properly.
Please suggest, if any setting needs to be changed in my browser.
I am using:
Win XP and FF 3.6.12

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Changing+the+e-mail+program+used+by+Firefox
Comcast online email is considered '''web mail''' so you need to scroll down that support page to the web mail section.

You have chosen to open which is a: application/octet-stream error

I have been getting his error for a very long time now:
you have chosen to open (web address here) which is a: application/octet-stream ehat should firefox do with this file? open - save
i got this from firefox 3, i tried completely uninstalling it, and then reinstalling it
and the same thing happens in firefox 4, which i just uninstalled firefox 3 and did a clean install of firefox 4
it happens randomly and periodically, it seems each new session resets the warnings, and when i click on about 35% of the websites in my speeddial, it will load that warning and a blank tab, after i click the speeddial again, it will work for that site, for the rest of the session..
it seems completely random, sometimes its google.com, sometimes mozilla.com, it could really be anything..
it could be a website in my speeddial, but it also happens sometimes when typing from the address bar
i have done extensive spyware sweeps, and antivirus sweeps for anything out of the ordinary, and i even repaired Windows XP SP2, and then I even upgraded to Windows XP SP3, i have all the updates, etc..
I have 2 computers on this network, and they both do it.
its really driving me crazy.. i even thoght about wiping my entire hard drive and reinstalling XP, but i dont want to do that
i tried IE8, but i hated the lack of speedials and tab options
and I tried Opera but i hated the fact that there were no multiple speedial tabs
and im not fond of chrome or safari for similar reasons..
i've tried a few things i've found online, but nothing really applies to this problem
does anyone have any idea how to fix this so i can keep using firefox?
thanks

Show us the output of
emctl status dbconsoleMost of the times, EM stops with DGCP being enabled on the system after the db's creation. I faced alot of it just 2 days ago when 2 of my boxes stopped EM. So show us the output of the above command and to have an idea of basic EM troubleshooting, read this,

Attachments (word docs and PDFs) to emails can not be opened by the receivers. Are received as .dat files or application/octet-stream

Attachments I add to emails (word doc or PDFs) can not be opened by the email receivers. Word documents attachments are received with ATT00427.dat (application/octet-stream) or .doc with (application/octet-stream). PDF attached files arrive with .pdf (application/octet-stream). My copy of my sent email has the same attachment extensions.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

When I save a pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf. What's happening?

When I save a Pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf and recipients can't open it. Some load correctly, but about half don't load as a pdf. What's happening?

Hi mjmonck-
Which email provider are you using? There are different solutions possible for different providers. Yahoo is having trouble with attachments, outside of any Firefox issue. I've seen a Google user fix this by manually adding the mail URL to their ad block program- which mistakenly perceived the webmail page as an advertisement.
Hope this helps.

Mime Types : application/octet-stream

When using CFFILE, I am allowing "text/xml". Client is saving
MS Excel as XML. Many test done and has worked until today when the
error started occuring that the MIME type is not accepted. I do
understand that the "application/octet-stream" MIME type is
generated (sometimes) when a file is viewed or save in a word
process or spreadsheet application.
The question is ... are there security concerns if I allow
"application/octet-stream" MIME type to be uploaded to the server?
Any thoughts or conerns would be appreciated.
-jb

The MIME type is provided by the client browser. Is the
browser posting an XML file and sending the MIME type as
pplication/octet-stream instead of text/xml? In Windows/Internet
Explorer MIME types and extensions are associated by a registry
entry. If you have access to the client's PC you may wish to check
this.
If you allow application/octet-stream you are opening
yourself up. I also recommend you check file extensions and only
accept uploads from trusted sources.

HT4528 I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal.

I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal. It seems to continually keep trying to download but cannot. Please help!

i do understand that. if you purchased the music on the phone. its still available to you. if you go in itunes on your computer. go to purchases. there should be all the music you have purchased. there you can download the song if it isn't already and then sync it to your phone which will add the song to the phone. have you tried to power off phone and then try to download again. the itunes way is just another option.

My iPhone 4 won't let me download apps or sign into iTunes from the app

Everytime I try and download an app I type in my password and nothing happens. If I click it again then it asks for my password again then retupe and have the same problem. It's the same when trying to log into iTunes from the app and the same when I try updating an app, If I type the password wrong then it tells me it's wrong. I've tried resetting the phone bye holding the two buttons for ten seconds but no joy? Oh and for some reason podcasts have dissapeared from my phone completely?

Please update your profile. The iPhone 4 cannot run iOS 6.0.2
Do you have any restrictions set?
