IPad gives Message "safari cannot download this file"?

I am trying to download firefox on my iPad and I keep getting message "download failed". "safari cannot download this file". Please help

Mozilla doesn't have a version of Firefox for iOS on the iPad.
The FirefoxHome application is all Mozilla offers for iOS. <br />

  • "Safari cannot download this file" when I tried dl a .mobileconfig file

    Hi,
    I have been asked to research deployment of configuration to Ipod touch to determine if our clients will be able to use these devices on our secure network. According to the Enterprise Deployment Guide I should be able to send the Ipod Touch a .mobileconfig file:(http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Enterprise_DeploymentGuide.pdf)
    But I'm getting the message "Safari cannot download this file" when I try to download the .mobileconfig file from our internal http portal.
    Any advice you have would be much appreciated. Thank you,
    M

    Hi M,
    There may be an issue with the website or the file, try emailing the profile to an account setup on the iPod touch.
    If the issue persists, try resetting or restoring the iPod touch.
    You can reset the iPod by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through the restore process.

    Hi there!
    I am trying to transfer a Ticketmaster ticket from "oss.ticketmaster.com" to Passbook. I have done this several times in the past, no problem. However this time, I am getting the following error message, "Download failed. Safari cannot download this file."
    Has anyone else encountered such an error... and could it have anyting to do with the new iOS updated that was recently released?
    Thank you!!

  • TS1702 trying to download mp3 get: Safari cannot download this file

    I am trying to download MP3  even tried AAC I receive error Safari cannot download this file..  I am clueless in how to do this thank you Linda

    You can't download music via Safari. If you are trying to get music into the Music app then you will either need to buy/download them via the iTunes store app, or download them on your computer and sync them. If you are using a third-party music app then does it have its own browser function for downloading music, or does it only support copying via a computer's iTunes ?

  • Safari cannot download this file

    I have a site optimized for Ipad, all looks great except when I go to download a linked .pdf which is a zip file. I get the "safari cannot download" msg I have a Mac Pro and when I access this site and click a link the download window opens.
    any help?
    RD.

    A PDF and a zip file are not the same thing. Post the PDF on its own (not in a zip file) and you shouldn't have an issue.
    There may be an app for unloading a zip. check the app store.but it means anyone using the site with an iPad would also have to have a similar app.

  • Safari cannot download a file

    Safari cannot download a file error message

    I am experiencing a similar problem.  I purchased two games from GameHouse, which I have done before, and when I attempt to download either one, I receive an error message that says "Download Failed.  Safari cannot download this file."  I have not changed any settings or did anything that I suspect would interfere with the ability to download the game.
    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

  • My iOS customers cannot download the video clips I send via Adobe Send "Safari cannot download this type of file"

    My customers who use iOS cannot download the video files I send by Adobe Send "Safari cannot download this type of file" is the report they get. I have tried created a zip file of the clip but get the same result. Please help

    This error seems to point at a problem not directly related to the encoding. The message might be misleading but I read "Safari cannot download this type of file" as relating to the file type - the end of the name (perhaps MIME type setup, but let's start with the file type).
    But... some web searching finds others say that iOS cannot download files AT ALL because it has no filing system you can access. Clearly (?) you just want it to show the movie, but I don't know any more than that.
    Perhaps someone else has worked in this area. Also worth trying suitable iOS forum.

    on ipad 2 safari cannot download the file for windows live photo gallery

    What you can download via Safari on the iPad is very limited - you can only download apps from the iTunes app store on your computer to sync to the iPad, or from the App Store app directly on the iPad

    It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file

    How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file

    SWF files are flash files, which are not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    If you want to play the file then the iSwifter or Skyfire browser apps might work (they don't work on all flash sites) but you won't be able to download it

  • I keep getting error message safari cannot download file.

    Every time I try to download a Mac game from Bigfishgames I get casuarina cannot download file. Also will not allow me to download app. I am a new iPad user.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Correct, Safari can not be used to download files on the iPad. Also a Mac based game will not work on an iPad. Any available Apps for the iPad need to be downloaded from the App Store.
