Safari cannot download a file

Safari cannot download a file error message

I am experiencing a similar problem.  I purchased two games from GameHouse, which I have done before, and when I attempt to download either one, I receive an error message that says "Download Failed.  Safari cannot download this file."  I have not changed any settings or did anything that I suspect would interfere with the ability to download the game.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    on ipad 2 safari cannot download the file for windows live photo gallery

    What you can download via Safari on the iPad is very limited - you can only download apps from the iTunes app store on your computer to sync to the iPad, or from the App Store app directly on the iPad

    You can't download music via Safari. If you are trying to get music into the Music app then you will either need to buy/download them via the iTunes store app, or download them on your computer and sync them. If you are using a third-party music app then does it have its own browser function for downloading music, or does it only support copying via a computer's iTunes ?

  • "Safari cannot download this file" when I tried dl a .mobileconfig file

    Hi,
    I have been asked to research deployment of configuration to Ipod touch to determine if our clients will be able to use these devices on our secure network. According to the Enterprise Deployment Guide I should be able to send the Ipod Touch a .mobileconfig file:(http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Enterprise_DeploymentGuide.pdf)
    But I'm getting the message "Safari cannot download this file" when I try to download the .mobileconfig file from our internal http portal.
    Any advice you have would be much appreciated. Thank you,
    M

    Hi M,
    There may be an issue with the website or the file, try emailing the profile to an account setup on the iPod touch.
    If the issue persists, try resetting or restoring the iPod touch.
    You can reset the iPod by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through the restore process.

  • How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file

    How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file

    SWF files are flash files, which are not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    If you want to play the file then the iSwifter or Skyfire browser apps might work (they don't work on all flash sites) but you won't be able to download it

  • Safari cannot download this file

    I have a site optimized for Ipad, all looks great except when I go to download a linked .pdf which is a zip file. I get the "safari cannot download" msg I have a Mac Pro and when I access this site and click a link the download window opens.
    any help?
    RD.

    A PDF and a zip file are not the same thing. Post the PDF on its own (not in a zip file) and you shouldn't have an issue.
    There may be an app for unloading a zip. check the app store.but it means anyone using the site with an iPad would also have to have a similar app.

  • Safari cannot download adobe flash player

    when i try to view tv programs on my 2nd generation ipod touch i'm informed that the adobe flash player is needed. when i try to download the flash player i get the error message that safari cannot download the file. what might be causing that problem and what can be done about it?

    then why does apple advertise that videos can be downloaded and viewed on the touch?
    Because it's true.
    Flash is only one of the many video formats available online. The iPod touch supports many open video formats (they are listed on the specifications page).
    Flash is a proprietary format owned by Adobe - it is not an open standard.
    You can view videos, films, music videos etc. from the iTunes Store, and also any web-site that uses the standard MP4 format. There are also 1000's of videos in the YouTube application. You can also convert your own videos and view them on the iPod touch.

  • HT5701 Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4?

    Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • My iOS customers cannot download the video clips I send via Adobe Send "Safari cannot download this type of file"

    My customers who use iOS cannot download the video files I send by Adobe Send "Safari cannot download this type of file" is the report they get. I have tried created a zip file of the clip but get the same result. Please help

    This error seems to point at a problem not directly related to the encoding. The message might be misleading but I read "Safari cannot download this type of file" as relating to the file type - the end of the name (perhaps MIME type setup, but let's start with the file type).
    But... some web searching finds others say that iOS cannot download files AT ALL because it has no filing system you can access. Clearly (?) you just want it to show the movie, but I don't know any more than that.
    Perhaps someone else has worked in this area. Also worth trying suitable iOS forum.
