Itunes won't download, binary file won't save to computer.

Every time I click on the "Download Now" button, I am able to select what folder I want to download the binary file to.
Once I click save, nothing else happens. I am taken to the "Thank you for downloading itunes" screen, but there is no record of my download anywhere, and the file is simply not saving.

So weird...I don't know why so many folks have this problem. Why won't the silly file download from Apple? When I click "save file" absolutely nothing happens. A dialogue box should pop up asking me where to save it.
My solution was to finally download it from one of the many file servers. I used one called "filehorse" and it downloaded right away.
How can one use their nifty iOS device if they can't install itunes on their computer?!
I tried the recommended "fixes", one of which included deleting the "temp" folder (which was not so easy to delete, required booting to safe mode command prompt) but made no difference. This was all using Firefox. IE is the only other browser on my computer, which seems to be permanently broken (most sites do not show properly even after using IE's "reset" feature).
I refuse to install Chrome, I tried it once and it sucked. Hopefully Apple will fix this silly issue so that next time I need to download iTunes, I can do it. Thank you!

  • Issue in downloading Binary File on Safari 5 (MAC OS)

    Hi,
    We are working on an application, which download binary file when clicks the button, when i am using Safari 6 the below code snippet download file successfully.
    Image:
    Safari 6: on clicking Export file downloaded:
    code:
    String userAgent = request.getHeader("user-agent");
                if (userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("mac") >= 0) {
                    response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
                } else {
                    response.setContentType(TEXT_CSV);
                // These Lines were added to make it work on the secure https
                // connection
                response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
                response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
                response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=contacts.csv");
    but when we use safari 5 on MAC its not downloading the file, it simply display the content on browser it self
    Image:
    and file is not downloaded in this case, can some one tell what should be the contentType(""); should be set to download the file in Safari 5, so that the file can be downloaded in case of Safari 5.
    Thanks in advance:)

    You can set content type to:
    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
    file will download on safari 6

    Hi,
    Shut down and reboot your iOS (press and hold the wake/sleep button and when prompted, slide to poweroff and then press and hold the wake/sleep button to reboot).
    Go look what had happen with your apps.  Maybe it's ok.  If not, tap and hold its icon and then tap the X to delete it from your iOS device and redownload it from the app store (no charge for that).
    Juste to let you know, your description state iPad2 but you are in the forum for iPod.

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

  • Web-downloaded epub files won't transfer from iBooks to iTunes

    Hi!
    Yesterday, on my iPad, I downloaded two epub files from a website (using Safari) and opened them directly in iBooks. They work fine, show up in my Library with no problem. However, I can't get them to sync down to iTunes. This is definitely not the first time I've downloaded directly to iBooks from an app on the iPad (although maybe a first for an epub from Safari?), but this is the first time I've had issues syncing down to iTunes.
    I've synced and resynced and resynced and they won't transfer; not only do they not transfer, but if I open the Books folder on the iPad when it's mounted in iTunes, they're not listed. I could put them on my laptop first and then load them into iTunes and to the iPad from there, but I've highlighted and bookmarked in both books and don't want to lose all of that if it's avoidable.
    Any ideas? I'm wondering if there's some limitation of iBooks that I don't know. And if there is, is there a way to now get the epub files out of iBooks some other way? (To maintain bookmarks/highlighting.)
    Anyway, thanks in advance
    P.S. As a test, I just did the same thing on my iPhone with the same results: file won't sync down and doesn't show up when I browse the phone in iTunes.

    i have the exact problem last week when I signed up to receive a free epub in the email.
    When the email arrived I proceed to open it in ibook on my iphone and started reading, after 2 chapters I decided to sync the phone with my computer and found that it won't sync the newly downloaded epub, not even showing it in the device list in itunes.
    So I tried the same thing on my ipad, download to ibook, sync with computer. Same result: the book was not synced and won't show in ipad's book folder in the device list.
    Still haven't found a solution

  • After a itunes update my HDV mov files won't play on my mac.

    I applied and update to my MacBook pro and BAM!! Now my HDV.mov files won't play with QuickTime or final cut pro. I'm in the middle of a project and I can't finish it because when the files play in fcp I get a error. Can anybody help me with this?

    I have two anserws I think might work for you. The first one is: This solved the issue down loading and re-installing Quicktime 7.5.5
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
    I'd create a backup of the System / Components and Quicktime folders first though, just incase you need to revert back.
    and the 2nd one is:
    I HAVE A FIX...AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!  Actually a friend found this fix somewhere else, but I just did it and it worked.  The only rub is you need to have access to another system that has not been updated to iTunes 10.5 or QT 7.7.
    On the system that has not been updated, go to:
    MAC HD/System/Library/Components and copy that folder to an external drive...next go to
    MAC HD/System/Library/QuickTime and copy that folder to an external drive.
    On the system that is not working, go to the same places on the MAC HD and delete those two folders.  Then copy the folders from your external drive to the same location.  Restart you system...i did it twice...and everything should be back to normal.  This has worked on both systems here that were previously jacked up.  If you do not have access to a system that was not messed up, let me know and maybe we can swap files.
    I havent tried any of these yet because I'm in the middle of a project and I dont wnat anything to go wrong right now. After I'm done I will be sure to get started on one of these.
    If you try any one of these let me know how it works out.

  • Binary files won't open since I upgraded Firefox for my mac.

    Ever since I've updated my Firefox for my mac, I can't open Binary files. Example: When I click on an email attachment a window opens - You have chosen to open
    "File Name"
    which is a: Binary File
    from: http:/where.ever
    Would you like to save this file?
    When I chose "save file" my "downloads" window would pop up but the file would not be there.
    I was able to remedy that problem to the point at which the file would show up in the "downloads" window but when I attempted to open the file I would get:
    ! Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview
    doesn't recognize.
    So far this has happened with all Binary files I have attempted to open since my Firefox update.
    Never had this problem before.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated Firefox

    Exactly the same problem. It doesn't happen with Safari. Seeking help before I abandon Firefox!

  • Macbook Pro won't download .zip files correctly

    I have a Macbook Pro (13'' June 2012 model, 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM, 2.5GHz i5 processor, OS X 10.9.5) and whenever I try and download .zip files, on either Chrome or Safari, it doesn't know what size the file actually is meant to be (as seen below) and so keeps downloading constantly. Each time I cancel it (in some cases after it's reached over 100MB even though the file is a 9 song album), I get no files back out. Is there anyway to fix this so I can actually download them?

    Download Stuffit Expander from the App Store or directly from the manufacturer.  The software is free.  It can open any file you throw at it - after you set up its preferences to do so.

  • Firefox won't open pdf files-defaults to save file

    I have followed all the tips I've found in support and online (I think). I downloaded and reinstalled FF v 31 although it was already up to date. I have been through all the options in the tools/applications tab in FF for Adobe (up to date) and tried changing between use FF, use Adobe and always ask but still I just get a window to download the file. This is inconvenient to say the least. I do not have these issues with IE, but prefer FF.

    You can check the value of the <b>plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types</b> pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Why can't I get the "save as" option when I download a file, it automatically saves EVERYTHING to download folder.

    When I download a file, I used to get an option to "save as", instead of just save. If I download a file I like to immediately download it into the appropriate folder on my desktop (not just one folder.) Instead I have to download it, go into the downloads folder and move it. I do a lot of downloading for work and this is just an extra step that I find so annoying. Is there a way to change this, or and "add on" feature to get "save as" as an option? I get this option on Internet Explorer, but I do not like using IE :(

    P.S. Not sure if this is important, but I am using Windows 8 :(

  • How to input notes in a binary file used to save continuous DAQ?

    Hello,
    I have a continuous data acquisition vi with trigger. Data is saved in a binary file. I would like to save some comments or notes in this file; I want to be able to read the notes afterwards and the saved data that has to be displayed in charts. I got some examples from NI but they are simple and do not include the continuous data acquisition and reading both the notes and the (dynamic) data.
    Does anyone have examples of binary files with notes and continuous DAQ write and read?
    I've been working on this issue for quite a while and I got stuck...
    Thanks...

    Thank you Emilie.
    I know these examples all right. Now try embedding this into a 'Cont Acq. and Chart - Int. Clk.vi' or any vi that does data acquisition and saves the data in the same file where you wrote the string of comments. And this is not all - how do you read them all back in the right order and right length...
    I have inserted some examples to make you understand better what I am talking about.
    'AcquirePFV_Header.vi' and 'Read_with Header.vi' are only some trials that do not really work correctly.
    Could you or anybody else help me solve this problem?
    Thank you.

  • Create link that when clicked downloads a file to a viewer's computer

    Hi. I am using Dreamweaver MX on a Mac. I have a Word a doc (python_contents.doc) that I want to automaticaly download to the viewer's computer when he/she clicks a link called "Download Python Table of Contents."   Can't figure out how. Any help? Thanks millions.

    Most straight links do in fact download the file, then launch in whichever helper application is required to view it.
    If you zip the file first, it will download to the end user's hard drive (My Documents, desktop or some other Downloads folder). And the user will need to unzip it.
    Or you might choose to use a "Force Download" script in whichever server-side languages your server supports.  This one is in PHP.

  • Itunes 7.. not all files, won't open

    Like many, I downloaded itunes 7, installed, and it woudln't open. However, an error message saying that not all files were installed and to reinstall then comes up when I try to open itunes. I've reinstalled about 6 times now. It still keeps saying that not all files were downloaded, but no error code comes up, just a message. Anyone else have this problem with similar error message?

    What if I attach the firewire drive that my iTunes music is on to my Powerbook and open it in my Powerbook's iTunes? What library info does it use?
    Whichever music library is on the drive, however, first you'll need to point iTunes to the drive via the iTunes preferences>advanced>general panel: see iTunes music folder location section.
    However, before you go there:
    From your original post and response It sounds like there may be iTunes application corruption.
    I would remove/download/reinstall iTunes. This would include removing the following:
    iTunes.app in your Applications folder
    iTunesX.pkg and iTunes.pkg in your /Library/Receipts folder
    The 3 preference files I mentioned in my previous post
    iTunes folder in your /Library/Documentation/Applications
    The reinstall ought to leave your iTunes music folder alone. However, just to be safe: make a copy (highlight/cmd. key + D) of your
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    iTunes Library
    files in your /UserAccount/Music/iTunes folder and move these copies to your desktop.
    Remember to "repair permissions" once the upgrade is complete.
