Safari 1.3.2 won't download files when I click on links

I've been having an issue with my computer. When I'm logged in my account in my 1.8GHZ IMAC POWERPC G5, safari 1.3.2 I click on links such as on apple Iworks 30 day trial download, or to download the Mozilla Firefox webbrowser and it says it downloaded the file, however no download window opened up nor did it download anything. This apparently only happens on my account. If another user logs in my computer under their user account they can download everything normaly. I though Safari was corrupted, so I tried reinstalling OS 10.3.9 and still the same issue. I think it's something to do with the java settings,
I tried everything already and still nothing.
I also tried to trash the Download.plist . I found this in Home_folder>Library>Safari folder>Download.plist
After I trash it relaunch Safari an tried again but NO LUCK!! PLEASE HELP!

I trashed the download.plist in the safari folder and restarted my computer and safari still does not download any link I click on to download. I usually have to press on the "Control" key and select download linked file...however some links you cannot download anything and when I do that only the icon gets downloaded not the actual program such as Firefox mozilla or Iworks 30 day trial.
PLEASE HELP, and thanks for everything.

  • I'm trying to download security software and it won't download. When I click the icon " if your download doesn't start click here", nothing still happens.

    I'm trying to download security software for my Mac Pro and it won't download. Even when I click the icon that says "if your download doesn't start click here" and still nothing happens. I have tried different types of software and nothing will download.

    Are you not able to download anything at all?
    I don't know what "security software" you're trying to download, but the chances are overwhelmingly good that you don't need it, and it's likely to do more harm than good.

  • Firefox 11.0 has stopped automatically downloading PDFs when I click a link. The Downloads folder is still selected in Preferences.

    When I click on a PDF that would normally cause the downloads folder to open, I am instead taken to a blank white webpage and nothing happens.

    I recently installed Flash Player to preview an FLV file that I put on my website. I can't remember if the problem started after that installation.

  • Safari 4.0.4 fails to download files

    I'm unable to download files simply by clicking a link. If I do this Safari tries to open the file in a new browser window. I have to right click the link and ask it to save Linked file as --
    This causes lots of problems when the website askes for an email address before sending the file as it then gets sent to a browser window again. In such cases I have to use firefox. Is there a setting I can change?

    Hello b:
    If you have not done so, reset Safari and then trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist). Then restart your computer and reenter your Safari personal preferences.

  • Safari can't download file when trying to download movies

    Safari responds with "safari can't download file' when I use download app to download movies . I don't have issues downloading apps or searching net.  Would be grateful for assistance.

    You can't download something from Safari to your iPad.  iPad is a closed system, and not subject to virus intrusion.  Now, if for example you have a Kindle app and you go directly to Kindle in Safari and using your ID you buy a book, the book will download to your Kindle account, which you could then open your kindle App on your iPad and read the book you downloaded in your App.  But you can't go into Safari and just download a book or a movie directly to your iPad from the net........

    Hi,
    If your profile is correct you need to update your system software to 10.5.8. Go here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    After the installation, restart your Mac, launch Safari and see if you can download files. If not...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
    Go to ~/Library/Cookies and move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    If you still have problems downloading from the Apple site, Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Find the "Safari AutoFill" item. Delete it. Relaunch Safari. Next time it asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".
    Make sure the startup disk has enough free disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

  • My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

    My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

    Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

  • When I click email links on firefox, it won't open my AOL email client to continue, I get "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix?

    When I click email links on firefox, it opens AOL, but comes up like this.. "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix? and yeah, I know, ditch AOL and all that good stuff, but I have so many things tied into my email address that it's not in the cards atm..
    Thanks!

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • Safari won't open Mac Mail when I click mailto: links

    When I click mailto: links, Safari opens entourage. When I deleted entourage and then clicked a mailto: link, I got an error message that said:
    Safari can’t open “mailto:jen(@)gothamist.com” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “mailto:”.
    I am using Safari version 1.3.2

    In Mail, navigate to its preferences from the 'Mail' menu and ensure that Mail is set as the 'Default Email Reader' under the 'General' section.

  • Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit.  Now it just won't open.  When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens!  Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

    Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit.  Now it just won't open.  When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens!  Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
    When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
    and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
    and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
    I get this if using chrome or safari .
      I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

    The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video.  Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash. 

  • My mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop.  Mac Book Pro

    My Mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop.  My Accounts both show as marked in accounts.

    Try clicking GO in the menu bar/Go to folder in the pane enter  ~/Library/Preferences/com,apple.mail.plist
    Another way is to hold the OPTION key click GO in the menu bar>Library>Preferences, locate the the file com.apple.mail.plist
    Drag this file to the trash (do not empty)
    Quit Mail log out and reboot, see if that helps, if it does not you can drag the file from the trash and and replace it where it was. (it will probably give you a this file already exists, click replace)
    Post back there may another thing to check.
