Office 2011 and Safari downloads not working

I am using Safari and recently installed Office for Mac 2011. There is a website I visit to download Excel reports and previously with Office 2008 I would download and it would open in Excel without any issues. However, since I upgraded to 2011 the file no longer downloads with a .xls extension (in fact, it has no extension at all). When I try to open the file it isn't associated with any program. When I open it with TextEdit it looks like HTML. If I add .xls extension to the end of the file, however, it will open in Excel 2011 normally. Any thoughts on how to fix this without having to add the .xls extension every time? Thank you!

i am having the same problem; when i have to use the 'Export to Excel' option on our site, it downloads with .aspx instead of .xls; that is a Dreamweaver extension and i can't open it with any data only the column headings if i add .xls; if i use the 'open with' option, Excel is greyed out so i cannot even choose it.
when i try to use the older version of Excel, it is now doing the same thing;

  • Problems with iweb and safari - 'buttons' not working in safari/firefox...

    Hello. Help! I've been using iweb for a while with no probs - but on trying to launch my most recent site I'm finding the navigation buttons (graphic images not text buttons) work fine in iweb on my mac, plus fine on a PC but only partially in safari/firefox browsers... see sarahgreen.me and you will see that none of them work on the home page. Is this some kind of bug? I was wondering if it is anything to do with there being too many objects on the page or something? They are fine on a PC.
    Thanks for any ideas.
    Sarah

    In iWeb do Command-Shift-L to see the layout of the page.
    The content in the Navigation layer is blocking the content of the Header layer. The body layer is empty.
    Move ( +Use Command-drag+ ) EVERYTHING in the Navigation layer and EVERYTHING in the Header layer INTO the Body layer.
    Put content where it belongs.

  • LR1.3 sRAW and Photo Downloader not working?

    Hi,
    Anyone else having problems with 40D sRAW files? When I import them they have a green cast - even converting to greyscale still leaves them with a green cast. In fact the grey channel in the histrogram display is suddenly green as well.
    Also, Photo Downloader detects when I insert a card, Lightroom opens but the import window doesn't appear.
    Any ideas on either of these?

    Well I don't think it's anything to do with my monitor profile but I've discovered that it is linked to the Photo Downloader bug. If I run LR and import normally then the files are fine. If I let Photo Downloader open LR and then import (because Photo Downloader doesn't start the process) the files are corrupted. If I then quit LR and open it up again the files look ok. So it's not a fatal bug but there's certainly something broken with importing files.
    Here's a couple of screen grabs that show the problem.
    This is the "colour" version of the show, note the strange green colour in the histogram.
    Now a greyscale conversion, again the histogram is green when it should be grey.
    The colour used in the histogram shouldn't have anything to do with the monitor profile, esp. in greyscale mode...

  • HP dm1z drivers and software downloads not working

    Hello folks
    I am trying to download the software and drivers for my dm1z from http://gkz1.co/nYEsZ1 (short URL for the official HP page), but none of the links work. They all point to ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/ but it seems the folder doesn't exist in the ftp server?
    Cheers 

    Actually, never mind. I am replacing the original HDD with a SSD, and found the drivers folder in the HDD, so installing from there.
    Thanks...

  • I am using iPad and safari is not working, what can I do?

    Safari on my iPad isn't working, when it bumps up it's nothing but a dark page! How can I fix it?

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • 64bit solaris and amd downloads not working

    possibly others as well. something broken?

    We don't see an issue with these files. Are you getting a 'page not found' or is the page just hanging? Can you download anything from OTN?

  • Safari Download not working on Power Mac G5

    I am running 10.3.9 system software with 512MB ram. It is the model with all the hardware in the monitor (19" I think) , it has no tower.
    I cannot install the new snow leopard system software or updates to several software programs including safari.
    My questions are, is it time to just buy a new Mac Book for 999.00 or are there cheaper upgrades that can be done (More Ram) and keep the existing model.
    I currently have the new macbook pro and love it, but the other MAC is for family use?
    Power PC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.x) 1.8 GZ, 512 MB R

    Hi Dave,
    Time to buy a new Mac for family use. You can't upgrade on the old model to Snow Leopard because it requires an Intel Mac.
    Snow Leopard general requirments here. http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html

  • Just installed Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro Retina and now Safari does not work

    Just installed Micro Office 2011 on my 13" MacBook Retina and now Safari is not working correctly. Pages load very slowly or not at all.
    Any idea of what's wrong?
    Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari Will Not Work Even After Downloading New Version

    Several months ago I experienced a brief power outage and since then Safari has not worked. At All. I have downloaded Safari twice directly from the Apple site and still no luck. THe Software Restore disks with my original OSX package do not seem to work. Any suggestions?
    Been using Firefox but there are some things I prefer about Safari (bookmarks and they way they are handled).

    I clicked on a link in my email this morning and safari opened and then it opened 73 other tabs (I think all my bookmarks). I closed it and when I reopened I get the title bar and beachball not a new page. Activity monitor shows it is using 100% cpu. If I open safari from a link in email it opens normally. I downloaded and installed the latest (same) version from apple, same story. Thank god firefox still works ok. Any ideas? James.

  • I install a "HD VIDEO" program and it was a viru, now safari is not working propely,  please help

    I install a "HD VIDEO" program and it was a virus, now safari is not working properly,  please help

    You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.
