Safari Download Issue not fixed by Safari 3.

This question is still unanswered for me and I hope someone can help.
I tried the demo of Yaszoft Speed Download, and when it ran out I uninstalled it. I haven't been able to do a clean download using Safari (or Firefox) since Safari just freezes (and Firefox just ignores the download command). Right-clicking works (sometimes) though.
I've uninstalled SD multiple times, rebooted, what not, ran the Speed Download uninstalled, installed the latest SD, removed that, contacted the Yazsoft people (who told me to...run the uninstaller yet once more), and i'm still stuck with the problem.
I upgraded to Safari 3.0 hoping that it would solve this once and for all -- no such luck. The Yazsoft people have basically concluded that this was not SD related. Although i started having this problem IMMEDIATELY after removing SD once the demo period had expired. The only solution, of course, would be to BUY SD, which, obviously, I'm not quite prepared to do...
What can I do at this point? It makes downloading any program a pain in the neck, upgrading programs sometimes tricky. For instance, I had to download Safari 3 from my newer mac mini and then transfer that to my powerbook...
(the problem is even worse in Firefox where downloading programs is almost impossible)
Help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks !

  • Safari Download links not working, opening new page

    Hi,  I am not to happy with the latest version of Safari, and it has made one problem worse.  When I click on a download link, more often than not, instead of getting a file to download, it opens a new page and appears to be loading the file as raw code.  I will see in the location bar at the top something like:
    download.php or FileName.zip, and it cycles a while until the full file is loaded but does not show anything by a blank page...   Before this version I could right click and choose save linked file As and it would usually work, but now that doesn't work.
    Anyone else seeing this problem or have a solution?
    I have speed downloader but I have it turned off for sites that were problematic, but  Safari doesn' seem to use it anyway, because when it works, it opens a Safari download window, not SD
    Thanks
    Jeff

    Quit Safari if it's running. Move the file
    Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    in your home folder to the Desktop. Test again. If downloading now works as expected, then that's where the problem lies. Otherwise, it's still somewhere in your Safari settings, but I wouldn't know where. You'd have to ask the "Speed Downloader" developer what to do next.

  • Downloads do not finish in Safari and Firefox

    Hey guys,
    new to this forum, so be easy on me...
    I just bought a Macboko Unibody a few weeks ago, and for some reason, when I try and download certain files, they don't completely download, however Safari and Firefox believe they're complete (i.e. an incomplete mp3 file will launch in itunes).
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    with all due respect, I'm pretty sure I did answer your question.
    No, you didn't. To answer my question you'd have to explain how you determined that a downloaded file in fact stopped downloading early as opposed to downloading to completion but becoming corrupted during the download process. I didn't see such an explanation in your posts. I'd argue that if the size of a downloaded file is near the expected value, it's impossible to tell the difference between a corrupt download and an incomplete download. Actually, which of the two cases is true is much less interesting than the fact that the downloaded file isn't usable. But by claiming that "downloads do not finish" you're assuming a cause that may not be true.
    Here's an example of the type of thing you may be facing: I've seen a post on this message board by someone who kept trying to download a large Apple software update but the resulting file was unusable due to a checksum error. He was finally able to download the file successfully by removing his router and connecting his computer directly to his broadband modem. Evidently his router introduced enough instability into his download process to cause corruption.
    I've downloaded the exact same files (from the same link) from another computer, with complete success.
    That only proves that those files can be downloaded given a correctly-functioning data connection.
    I've also attempted (as described above) to download some of the files one at a time, and that seems to work properly.
    Downloading multiple files at the same time could put extra stress on a marginal connection.

  • 10.4.6 JPEG issue not fixed by the Combo Updater

    Hi,
    I have the Safari/WebKit issue of JPEGs not displaying (Safari, NetNewsWire) and running the Combo Updater just doesn't fix my issue.
    Does anyone have any other tips? I have tried this 4 or 5 times.
    this is the Combo I am trying:
    12:10 backspace:~/Desktop% openssl dgst -sha1 MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.6PPC.dmg
    SHA1(MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.6PPC.dmg)= c9fde5a23bcebd08149301b7ad300881a563c398
    mini   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2gb/bluetooth/airport

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The Combo Updater fix has been the usual remedy.
    Two suggestions:
    Make sure "display images" is checked in your Safari Preferences>Appearance panel.
    If it is checked, move your Safari preference file (.com.apple.safari.plist - search for it in Spotlight) to the trash. Restart Safari. If there is no change, move the preference file back to its original location (User Library>Preferences folder). If it does work, go to Safari Preferences and restore any custom settings.

  • ACR 7.1 RC Issue Not Fixed in ACR 7.1

    The issue I identified in ACR 7.1RC is not fixed in the production release of ACR 7.1.  Maybe I did not explain this in enough detail, it's very easy to miss. 
    1. Select a RAW file that was previously adjusted using PV2010.  When you open the file with ACR 7.1 it will open with PV2010 since the xmp file was saved with that process version. 
    2. Click on the "!" next to the image and it changes to PV2012 with suggested slider settings.  Adjust one of the sliders in the Basic Panel - this is very important becasue if you don't adjust a slider the issue does not show up. 
    3.  With the Basic Panel still selected, click on the three dashes to the right of the Basic Panel to get the pop down menu and select "Image Settings".  The image changes back to PV2010 with settings that are saved in the XMP file.  Now click on the three dashed again to get the pop down menu and "Custom Settings" is checked, but the image is displaying PV2010, not PV2012 like it should if "Custom Settings" is checked.  You just lost your PV2012 settings. ACR 7.0 does not have this issue. 
    4. If in #3 above you select another panel before you click "Image Setting"  the first time you can switch between PV2010 and PV2012 by clicking "Image Settings" for PV2010 and "Custom Settings" for PV2012.   After you do this first in a panel other than the Basic Panel for the first time you can then do it in the Basic Panel without the problem occuring. 
    I discovered this while converting images that were adjusted using PV2010 to PV2012 and like to compare the two Process Versions.  I did not have any problems with ACR 7.0, but when I installed ACR 7.1RC the issue occured.  I was hoping it would be resolved in the Production Release of ACR 7.1, but it's still there. 
    I am using Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit computer, don't know if this same issue exists in Lightroom. 

    None of the issues reported on this forum have been fixed in Camera Raw 7.1, near as I can see.
    The Camera Raw 7.1 software was built on May 15, but Adobe appears to ignore beta feedback unless it's a real show-stopper.  I can only imagine the definition of "show-stopper" must include users' systems actually catching fire or something.
    Camera Raw 7.1 puts columnar color artifacts like this into images, for example:
    Compare the above to the same conversion done with Camera Raw 7.0:
    Plus Adobe has removed several color-fringing reduction features without providing suitable substitutes.
    I recommend eveyone avoid upgrading to this release.

  • I can't believe it - network issues not fixed in Logic 8 ?

    I like to have my Logic Projects stored on a network volume but couldn't do it because Logic 7 had one major network problem. If an audio file in your project is located on a network volume then you cannot edit that audio file in the Sample Editor. All the commands in the functions menu are greyed out. Now I tried that in Logic 8 and to my horror, the bug is still there.
    I tried the scenario on different mounted volumes on my LAN and it is the same problem. Also creating cross-fades results in an -64 Error when trying to play back the cross-fade. Somehow the audio file (or directory path) is locked, at least as Logic sees it. The permission look ok. I set everything to read&write.
    Can somebody confirm that behavior.
    Here is the link to the threat on that issue in Logic 7:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1880622&#1880622
    Strangely enough, if I use my iDisk as the network volume, then it works. At least that improved from Logic 7. But I have no idea why the local network volume still have problems.

    First of all, when I talk about network volumes, I talk about local network (LAN) not the internet, although you can do that to (i,e, iDisk).
    Here are some of the reasons why:
    * I like to have as little as possible data on the local drive(s): Projects, Apple Loops, EXS instruments/samples, plug-in data you name it.
    * All the data is stored on an XRAID in RAID5 mode that provides maximum security and an Xserve running OSX server acts as the file server
    * Easy central retrospect backups of the XRAID for off-stite storage (security)
    * When running a multi computer setup, i.e multiple Logic machines configured as one "über-Logic" (think about big EXS libraries, Vienna Instruments, etc), all the 100s of Gigabytes of data have to be stored only once (on the RAID)
    * Same storage access convenience when having a multi room stup: mixing room, production room or drop in with your laptop.
    * When editing one sound (i.e. EXS instrument) , that edit is available on all the Logic machines that access that network volume.
    * When swapping out a Logic machine, you don't have to deal with 100s of gigs of sounds and data stored on that machine.
    Networking should be on Apple's top ten list and I'm sure it is. Everything is about networking: Network MIDI (in Audio MIDI Setup Utility), Logic Node, Cluster compression (in Compressor), Bonjour, etc ...
    Logic is a professional DAW used in very professional setup. Putting Logic on an iMac to play with some dance loops is just one very limited use of it. Even the disaster version 1 of Cubase SX (5 years ago ?) allowed me to work with the song from the netwok volume.
    Logic 8 still not working properly in a network environment is really embarrassing, unless someone can report that it works and I'm just missing something here.

  • Screen junk issue not fixed with 10.5.2

    I'm still getting intermittent screen junk on my 30" monitor on my Mac Pro and also on my MacBook Pro. I was kind of hoping 10.5.2 would have fixed that. Nope.
    And Apple's web team needs to get on the ball and add a 10.5.2 option for the OS drop down menu option in the entry screen where I'm entering this.

    After reading about the problem in the April issue of MacWorld, page 96 I think, I brought the computer over to the Apple store, showed them the article, and they ordered me a new graphics card (well, it was a little more difficult and time-consuming than that, but you get my drift) - a more recent version of the card.
    Et voila!!! No more screen junk. Isn't that kewl?

  • SharePoint 2010 Datasheet view problem - Office 2007 database engine download not fixing the issue

    We rolled out new laptops (Dell Latitude E7440)/desktops with 64-bit Windows 7 and 64-bit Office 2013 a couple of weeks ago. We installed the 2007 Access Database Engine to enable Datasheet views on our SharePoint 2010 site for our employees, and it worked
    before Thanksgiving. However, after the holiday, datasheet view is not working for anyone. I have my old 64-bit Dell laptop with 64-bit Office 2010/2007 Access Database Engine, and it still works there.
    I have tried the x86 2007 Access Database Engine, the 2010 Access Database Engine, the Office 2013 Access Runtime, with 32-bit and 64-bit IE (trying any combinations to see if I can get datasheet views to work).
    The one obvious difference is the new laptops have Office 2013. Has anyone run into this before, and is there a solution when the standard 2007 Access Database Engine download does not fix the datasheet view problem?

    Coworker figured it out. After the 2007 Access Database Engine is installed, go to Internet Explorer, Tools menu --> Compatibility View Settings, and add your SharePoint website to the list. Your SharePoint datasheet list views should start working
    after that. Might be something particular to Internet Explorer 11.

  • Cannot select the Safari Download button even though I can see it

    I cleared the entries in my Safari Download button (not to be confused with the Downloads folder). Now this button is greyed and I cannot select it any more. Can anyone help?

    Most likely problem is that the button disappears 'upon successful download' because your 'remove download list items' prefeference is set that way.  See below.. and set 'remove download list items' preference to either 'when safari quits' (like you see beow) or 'manual.'  Then the button will persist, and you can find the item easily until you quit safari .. or remove all items from the list manually .. depending on which of the two settings you choose. 
    I like the 'quit safari' option, because I don't have to do anything to keep the list small and usable; it is cleared out every time I quit safari.  And the files themselves persist in my downloads folder if I need to go find them later.

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • Safari wont open - not a new topic but offered fixes dont fix

    like an earlier post on the exact same subject, i tried to launch safari, got the window (empty) and then safari just closes down.
    i get a report to apple option with an impenetrable message which i send.
    it's been a couple of months now and i've pretty much given up on it, using firefox instead.
    any wisdom? sorry this is a repeated topic but i prefer safari to firefox.

    You don't say what you have tried, but try this:
    Firstly:
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.
    Background information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
    Secondly:
    Download and re-install the correct COMBO 10.4.11 Updater, followed by a restart.
    Thirdly:
    Download and re-install the Safari 3.1.1 updater, followed by a restart, but bear the following in mind:
    If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta, and now Safari 3.1.1. If Safari 3.1.1 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    (Trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.x use a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely.)
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-on that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.1.
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to 2008-003. Like all security updates, these require a restart and a permission repair.
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
