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........

  • I am trying to download a ringtone on my iphone, keep getting message "safari can't download file."

    How do I download a ringtone? I keep getting the message "safari can't download file".

    To add a ringtone, download it from your computer and make sure it is a .m4r file. Once this is done, add it to your iTunes library (it will go in the ringtones section). Then sync your phone making sure that it syncs ringtones as well (check it in the ringtones tab).
    Then in your sound preferences on your iPhone change the ringtone.

  • Safari can't download file

    I am trying to access my work using the Citrix receiver and it works well on my Mac.  However on my iPhone 4, I get an error message that Safari can;t download the file.  I beleive the file is a *.ica file to launch the Citrixonline plugin or the Citrix receiver app.  Any suggestions?  BTW it works well on a co-workers Android phone.... imagine the grief I am getting!  :-)

    Ok I guess I should have made it more clear.  I am using the suggested app.  I have to point to the CAG server in Safari, like I do on my Mac and like my Android brethren.  After I log in, I click the link to launch the actual Citrix receiver (or the citrix online plugin) to get to the Windows desktop, and Safari says can't download the file.  I was unaware on my Mac that a file was being downloaded, which I suspect is the *.ica file, as it happens very quickly and a small window opens that is the Citrix receiver or the online plugin and VIOLA the Win desktop appears.
    If I open the Citrix receiver app on the iPhone, there are settings that need to be entered and at this time my higher up IT support won't provide that info, as the iPhone is not approved officially and they won't offer me any info.
    I just figured it'd work like it did on my co-workers Android as the process is the same for him and believe it or not for him "it just worked".  :-)

  • What causes "SAFARI can not download this file"?

    I have purchased and downloaded books from WWW.Baen.com in the past with no trouble. When I now purchase and then try to download a book I get this message--"SAFARI can not download this file".
    What has caused this and how do I correct it?
    Thanks

    Fine. Why did this site all of a sudden become incompaatable and how do I correct it. I have not changed anything on my iPad except to install APPLE's updates.

  • Tried to watch a video, says safari can't download

    Safari can't download videos,

    Correct. Safari doesn't download videos or any files except PDFs and Images.
    However it can play videos if they are in one of the formats it supports. What format was the video you were trying to watch in? What website is it on?

  • Getting error: Safari can't download file intermittently

    I purchased an Ipad (original) for my father in law and it will sometimes give an error ' Safari can not download file' and it will not go to any website. Weatherbug won't connect. Any app that connects to the internet does the same thing. Connecting to the internet thru airport express connected to a dsl modem. Other windows based machine connected to the internet fine. Ideas?

  • I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased that was supposed to be in the cloud. There are several of these, including an entire season. In the store it shows that I purchased these shows when I checked them.

    I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased. I then checked and had this problem with an entire TV season I had purchesed. The shows were supposed to be in the cloud. I went to the itunes store, went to the tv shows and they showed that I had purchesed them. They do not show up when I click on purchesed in the store.

    Try this...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Will a program mention for MAC OSX be allowed to download on the newest iPad version. If so, how do I get past the "safari" can not download this file?

    Will a program mention for MAC OSX be allowed to download on the newest iPad version. If so, how do I get past the "safari" can not download this file?

    No, because iPads do not run Mac OS X. They run iOS.

    Perhaps the account information is incorrect. Make sure that you are using the proper App store credentials.
    If you forgot your password, you can easily recover or reset it using iForgot. For security reasons, Apple cannot reset your password for you. To protect yourself against unauthorized purchases to your credit card, do not give out your password to anyone.
    NOTE: If you attempt to sign in to the Apple Online Store numerous times with the wrong password, you will see the following error message: “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." To reset your account, use iForgot.

    I have an iPhone 4 and want to download an audiobook from audible.com. My iPhone says safari can't download the item . Why? Also the audible app is for iPhone 5 and above ? Any suggestions ?

    Also the audible app is for iPhone 5 and above
    According to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audiobooks-from-audible/id379693831?mt=8 it only requires iOS 5 or later and it is "optimized" for iPhone 5. I think it will likely work well on your iPhone 4.
    Compatibility: Requires iOS 5.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

  • Can't sign in when trying to install the Elements 13 upgrade.

    Purchased the upgrade fro PSE 12 to PSE 13, if has downloaded, when I try to install if asks me to sign in, it just stays thinking about signing in for ages and doesn't go any further.

    I've tried that and I still can't sign in when trying to install.   Although I can sign in when I go to the adobe website through Firefox without a problem, I'm having issues with Internet Explorer as it shows "can't display this page check that the website is correct", with certain websites eg: facebook, hotmail and my bank, so I don't know if this is an issue with signing in while trying to install.
    Would it have been better to have purchased the disk from a store and installed from that?  If so, how do I get a refund from Adobe for the download purchase?

  • File Error: Unknown File when trying to render a Motion Lower third

    I'm getting this: "File Error: Unknown File" when trying to render a Lower third made in the Motion tab. I'm using FCP 6.0.6 and haven't had any issues with this before. It seems to work fine if there is just text, but as soon as I apply any effect, like a drop shadow, I get that error message.
    Thanks,
    Joe
