Problems with downloading files

I have Win8. I had Adobe Reader 11 which worked perfectly fine downloading any file in any destination. Now when I try to download files it either 1) totally locks up my computer 2) states I do not have the newest version. I tried to download the new Adobe DC which I have no interest in and when opening the downloaded DC file it totally locks up my computer. Totally as in I have to turn it off.  Why did Adobe "fix" something that did not need to be fixed? I need to download new files and cannot. Any solution?

Cynthia, you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer for the version you want from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Problem with downloading file from FTP server

    Hello all
    I have uploaded a file from an application i developed and i want to download this file from another application. The code is
    public static void FTPcon() throws FtpException{
       String hostname = "my.ftp.server";
       String username = "myusername";
       String password = "mypass";
       Ftp ftp = new Ftp(hostname,username,password);
       ftp.setHostname(hostname);
            ftp.setUsername(username);
            ftp.setPassword(password);
            ftp.connect();
            ftp.setBinary();
            ftp.download("file.dat");
            ftp.disconnect();
    }The error i receive is java.io.FileNotFoundException: public.dat (The system cannot find the file specified) but the file is on the server.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Cotton thank you for your reply
    Any other sugestions please?The server disagrees. So...
    - the file does not existThe file exists.I checked it with an FTP client program.
    - the file has a different nameThe file name is correct
    - you are connected to the wrong serverI am connecting to the correct server
    - you are in the wrong ftp directoryThe file is placed in the home directory
    - the ftp library you are using is broken (less
    likely)I am using the library from jscape.I dont think is broken because i can upload the file from the first application.
    >
    FTP isn't somehow broken in Java. I use it all the
    time. The problem is something listed above. I would
    check all of the first four if I were you because
    that's most likely where the problem is.Message was edited by:

    Hey kgaoza12,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Downloading files from the browser is controlled and throttled by your network service provider.  I suggest you contact them for more information.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    v_mime VARCHAR2 (48);
    v_length NUMBER;
    v_file_name VARCHAR2 (2000);

    -- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
    HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || v_length);

    -- download the BLOB
    WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file(lob_loc);
    end;
    And when I press Download button, it open the file content in browser.
    But I need save dialog, for saving the file in the clien machine.
    How to solve this problem?

    How downloaded objects/document are treated in browser is purely "browser defined behavior". Sometime someone said that or these kind of files (recognized by miome contenet - alias file extension) default behavior will be "show inline" or show in browser. This is esspecially true for Adobe 7.x and IE 6.x and Firefox 2.x....
    For a test of my thoughts, install new browser (let say Opera or Mozila) and try to download LOB(doc). I'm sure that "Save As" dialog will show!
    Hope this helps!

  • I am having problems with downloading files, what is wrong and what can I do?

    When I try to download a file (ex: file from mediafire) when it gets the windows that lets me choose where to save the file, the window closes and FF automatically downloads the file to a certain place...(last place file was save too)

  • PLEASE HELP-problem with downloaded files!

    I have downloaded some games and stuff from the internet to my new iMac(Leopard10.5.1). I open the files, copy to applications, or install from the folder-and that should be it, right?? Unfortunately, this is not so! I have to go through this same process every time I want to use one of my downloads. I have to re-enter serial numbers and all that stuff EVERY TIME!!! Why is this happening? I don't understand...

    No, it's the computer. The files are fine, the computer just doesn't seem to keep the info once I install. Never had this issue with any of my previous macs.

  • TS1702 I'm at a dead  end - developer not fixing the problem with downloading file transfers from QuickVoice to the computer.  How do I report.  I see the purchase history in itunes, but there is no place to report a problem.

    QuickVoice does not auto transfer files to the computer.  When contacting the developer they send you a lync to a transfer file.  My anti-viral software says its infected with a Trojan Horse.  QuickVoice says to ignore.  I question this.....  And AVG my anti-viral softward puts it in a vault and won't let you ignore.  I have tons of voice recordings I need to get to my computer.  Help Apple with the developer you have approved to sell on iTunes.

  • Problems with Downloading on iBook

    Hi all,
    I'm having a problem with downloading files (any files, not just music files with Acquisition, but anything I try to download). They aren't fully downloading, and the message in the download box says that the file can't be created.
    I've just had to switch all my files from one user account to another, and was wondering if this was a problem resulting from that, or if it's something else.
    Also, can someone help me fix it?
    Thanks a million!

    Locate the download folder in the Finder; by default, this is the desktop. Once you've found this folder, select it and choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Ownership & Permissions, change the owner to yourself and give yourself read and write access. If you can't change the permissions, you may need to change the owner to yourself first; changing the owner requires that you are logged in as an administrator, and that you enter your password.
    Your issue may result from having moved your files between accounts; it also sometimes happens for no apparent reason.

    }From the above code i received the total length of the PAGE content (i.e here url is a file) when i tried to find the size of that file it return -1.
    please help me

    I think the real problem is that you don't check the return value from read (it's probably less than data.length indicating an incomplete read). Isn't there a readFully somewhere?

  • Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

    problems with .ARW files and auto toning
    let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
    now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
    Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
    but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
    allow me to explain
    lets say I import 100 images
    i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
    as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
    i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
    for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
    one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
    to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
    how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
    i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
    but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
    now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
    any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
    there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
    second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
    thanks for the help

    sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
    i've disabled it now
    thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
    its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
    but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
    because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
    so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
    is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
    its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
    what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.

  • Problem with Download! on N78

    I'm having a problem with Download! on my N78 (sw v. 12.046). I can open Download but it freezes, and I also can't download any applications. When Download! freezes, my only option to shut it down is to boot the phone..I can switch to other open applications but Download! is freezed. This is giving me hard time, can't install any applications. Any help or ideas? Anyone else having this problem?

    Backup your data, and try doing a soft reset. *#7370#, (use this code at your own risk, since it deletes some important data's in your phone memory, including the data of installed applications on phone memory - means if you installed a java file to your card, it stores some data in your phone memory which will be deleted when you soft reset. So you will have to reinstall that software)

  • Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

    Hi All,
    I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
    I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
    I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
    Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
    My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
    My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
    Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
    Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
    Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:

    Hi,
    It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
    Have a read of this article:

    Hope that helps.
