Preview opens downloads

I am downloading files from a clip art website.
The file is a .sit, and unstuffs as soon as it hits my desktop.
The problem is, after it unstuffs to the EPS file, Preview opens it as a PDF view.
I don't want Preview to automatically open the file. I just want to download, automatically unstuff and have the EPS on my desktop. Is this possible?

After I performed updates and restarted my computer this was resolved.

When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have the latest Quicktime so I don't know what's wrong

When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have tried installing the latest Quicktime but it tells me that I have to do software update and when I do, Quicktime does not appear to need an update. I have no idea what to do

Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions. Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

Can't open downloaded files

Help! I can't open downloads from the internet or e-mail in preview. It seems to be happening with both pdfs and jpegs. It just started yesterday, and I'm not sure why. It gives me a message stating that the file may be corrupted or the wrong file type. The file type is not wrong, and it says this for files from any source even trusted ones. Any help is much appreciated!!

HI,
Assuming you are using Safari... try maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons then cick Reset.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty Cache.
Quit Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
• Downloads.plist
• History.plist
• LastSession.plist
Restart Safari.

(Current Build: 9841) PC Settings - Preview Builds - Download Now - Failed to download new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246017

Hey ,
I hope someone can help.. been trying to upgrade from 9841 to 9860 for the last few days.. and I cant seem to get the preview build download part to work..
Seems like "80246017 Flight Settings Failure Content Download Error: Download failed" is the main error (more logs below)
And it doesn't seem like(from other blog posts) there are any manual downloads (ISO, .EXE's) so I'm stuck.
I know I could possibly do a full "clean" re-install of 9841 and then upgrade to 9860 but I really want to find out why its not working..
Cheers

Hi,
I had this same issue and tried many things to fix it. I finally found a fix with a small registry edit.
Open command prompt under admin and follow these steps (which I found here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_tp-winipp/error-code-0x80246017-when-trying-to-download-new/b188df4f-8e7a-443a-b584-61c4d59407d8)
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "BranchName" /d "fbl_release" /t REG_SZ
/f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdRiskLevel" /d "low" /t REG_SZ /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdInternal" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdOptedIn" /f
After you have done that open regedit and navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
If there is a folder called "recovered from" delete it. Then open up Windows Update in PC settings and go to preview builds and click Check Now
This worked for me. Hopes it works for you to.

What software do i need to open downloads, what software do i need to open downloads

what software do i need to open downloads, what software do i need to open downloads

For most Mac programs you download in the .dmg format just double clicking them will open them. For .zip files you can use a tool like Stuffit Expander. There are other tools listed here. Hope this helps. P.S. for .Pdf files just right click on the file open with Preview. Most text files can be opened with Text Edit, again right click open with....Text Edit. And as Kenneth is saying if you open a text file and you see code, the file wasn't meant to be opened, if you need to edit that file with a program like Text Wrangler, or SubEthaEdit.

Can't open, download or view PDFs - Tried all fixes recommended on this site!

I updated Firefox yesterday and now I am suddenly unable to open, download or view PDF documents on my mac. I just get a blank page in Firefox when I click on a PDF link. 
I tried every fix I could find on this forum and others: 
Disabling both the Acrobat NPAPI Plugin and the Acrobat Reader Plugin 
delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions. 
installing another PDF reader plug-in 
Cleared download history 
Reset Firefox 
Checked status of Download Folder - no 'user set' values 
Reinstalled Firefox 
Fixed all Mac Permissions 
Still same thing PDF tries to open in a new tab - I just get a blank window… even when my PDF Preferences are set for the pop-up dialogue to show so I can choose whether to save, open or view. 
AND my Firefox preferences are set for viewing in Acrobat Pro X (this was how I had it set up before the update and had no problems - all PDFs opened in this application. (my preferred)
I am stumped. Anyone have any fresh ideas? HELP!! :) Thank you

The Adobe Reader plugin may not be working properly on Mac.
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox
Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader

Preview opens files under the browser

(This question was asked in the Printing and Faxing forum first because it dealt with Preview. Someone thought it would be more appropriate here.)
Hi,
When I download a file that Preview opens, Preview will open it and then my browser (Camino) will then appear on top of the opened file (and Preview will be the last app I have to tab to to get to it, even though it is the MOST RECENT app used...). How can I get whatever app opened my downloaded file to stay on top? I think Real files work ok. I am not sure if many other types of files do though.
I don't see a preference in Preview, Camino, OSX or Safari that would control that. I do a pref in Safari that says "Open safe files after downloading" and pdfs are considered safe but that doesn't quite fit the bill here.
Thanks for any help.
I have also asked this in a Camino forum but have gotten nowhere with it.
Cheers,
John L

I looked at this thread I'd started awhile back and followed Dr Smoke's advice about resetting the Launch Services Database. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=480940&tstart=0)
I was then left with some icons that say they are for Safari but are either Camino docs or Preview docs. (Dr Smoke's advice fixed that last time (but left unsticky prefs for opening apps.))
I finally remembered that I had to go into Safari and tell it that my default browser was Camino (1.5) and after doing that, ALL of my icons are correct. The docs Camino owned have the correct Camino icon AND the Preview stuff has the Preview icon. (What is the connection to Preview, I wonder...)
pdfs continue to open under Camino though. I should say, they actually open for a fraction of a second on top of Camino but quickly go underneath it. Always have.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I can live with this but think it shouldn't happen.
Cheers,
John

Opening downloaded files locally

Hi
I'm developing Flex-based AIR application for iPad. I'm trying to make it open downloaded into application storage video, mp3 or PDF files.
Code works on desktop, but doesn't work for iPad - it finds target files in the storage, but it doesn't play them, though the same files can be played directly from server.
I suppose there is security issue...
I've found this article:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/DocumentI nteraction_TopicsForIOS/Articles/RegisteringtheFileTypesYourAppSupports.html#//apple_ref/d oc/uid/TP40010411-SW1
Is it possible to register supported formats for Flex-based mobile applications?
Will it help playing locally downloaded files? Is there another way to make application play locally downloaded files?
Thanks in advance

Why is the preview "Open" window so slow?

Hey, there guys!
I am wondering why it is that the new "Open" window is so slow in preview. It opens slowly, and when I select a folder, it takes a long time to index the folder's contents. However, I can open a file in preview using finder just fine. The indexing times are almost identical to those that I got when I first bought my mac. I noticed that after the update to Mountain Lion, there was a tab added to the top left called "iCloud". I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it?
My question is: what I can do to increase the speed of the Preview "Open" command? I have seen a couple of forum posts regarding people having issues opening files, but none of them talked about the open window itself being slow.
Thanks for your help!

Agree the new ios6 is much slower. I found this post by doing a search to find out if it was only me. I've done off & on & a soft reset. Neither helped. Everything seems to load much slower & hangs.
Maybe the new apps aren't optimized yet. However, I had one of my worst experiences with the Apple App Store. One would think they'd know how to optimize their own site & app.
I just hope it's not a bloat issue because the "upgrades" are not worth the performance trade offs to me.
Also, the iMaps are definitely not ready for prime time. I tried getting directions between two locations that were very mainstream and the app said it couldn't provide directions. I'll take Google without turn by turn, thank you. At least let us have a choice and let the best app win.

Can not open download folder in Finder after update to OS X Lion

Hi there. I have recently upgraded to OS X Lion. The upgrade was smooth. But since the upgrade I am unable to open Download folder in Finder. If I select Download in Finder's sidebar nothing happens. Finder won't display content of Download folder. If I go and select Home folder in sidebar, Finder displays content of my Home folder including Download. If I double click Download folder to access it nothing happens again. Cant access it. But if expand download folder using triangle next to it, Finder will expand me Download folder and show it's content...
I tried to verify and repair my permissions with Disk Utility, but did not solve my issuel. It is very frustrating scenario, since Download folder is something I access every day multiple times.
Any ides what can I do?

I found a solution that worked for me. Seems like my firewall did not accept the afp connection permissions anymore after installing lion... Since everything worked well turning off the firewall.
So if you don't want to keep your firewall disactivated here is what worked for me:
- Leave your firewall activated.
- Turn OFF afp file sharing in the sistem prefs
- Restart your Machine
- Turn ON afp file sharing
- You should now get a message if you want to accept afp connections...
- click YES
Seems like this resets somehow the afp permissions in the firewall settings
Everything fine on my network now.

Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

Obviously your download was not successful.
What is your operating system? How exactly do you download such files?

HT2404 I can't open downloads from my e-mail I get the message: Could not complete your rrequest because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.

I can't open downloads from my optonline e-mail.
I get the message: Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.

So what type of files are they?!

Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad

Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad Brooks i was reading some days ago.

You can't - ibooks from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple haven't so far made a Mac or PC reader for them
If you don't have one of those iOS devices, then though all purchases are considered final, you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
