Safari + Hotmail = Attachment Download Problems

I'm having a problem downloading attachments from Hotmail while using Safari.
It takes multiple clicks to get it to download, if it works at all.
We're having the same problem with a new iMac.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Check the user in the dashboard for any errors that might better guide you.
on the GMS server, run mcheck on the user
cd /opt/novell/datasync/tools/mcheck
python mcheck.pyc
2 for users, 1 for check user, it will usually sort things out from there.
Other useful tool is dsapp.

Other general things to check:
- on the GMS box, make sure you aren't running out of resouces, "df -h" to
check drive space, "free -m" to check memory.

  • Hotmail attachment downloads two times

    Hi there,
    I am having an issue with Safari 4.0.5
    I have MacBook, snow leopard 10.6.3
    The issue is, whenever I download an attachment from my hotmail accounts then move to the next massage or choosing something els, safari download the pervious attachment file again
    I get tired from this issue
    every time I need to delete the extra one's
    I tried the suggestion from this topic
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2391544&tstart=0
    but it didn't work
    I moved the Downloads.plist (Can be found in the" user library/safari " to trash and empty the trash
    any other suggestions
    Kindest regards

    HI,
    Try deleting your Hotmail cookies.
    From the Safari Menu bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab. Click "Show Cookies"
    Delete all Hotmail related cookies then click Done.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference.
    If not, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and try to download a file.
    Have you tried using a difference browser to access Hotmail instead? Like Firefox?
    Try logging in to another user account, launch Safari and try to download an attachment from Hotmail. If you can, then the problem is in your Home Folder not a system wide issue.

  • File attachment download problem with Chrome

    hi,
    I've been searching for a cure to this problem for days without success. Hopefully someone here will help me fix this annoying problem.
    The problem:
    1. First: When using Chrome (lastest as of today) to open an attachment in emails, Chrome
    always saves the file as download.xyz where xyz is the extension.
    2. Second: Sometimes it saves the file extension correctly, sometimes it just changes to something else like htm, ashx,... where the correct extension should be .doc or .xls.
    I find this only happen with MS Office attachment files. Other browsers like Firefox, IE work just fine.
    What is the problem and possible solution/work around for this?
    We are using MS Exchange 2010 btw.
    Thank you

    Hi Trung,
    Try disabling plug-ins in Chrome and see if it works, if works you can pin-point out the exact plug-in causing the issue.
    Type this in the chrome browser's address bar: 
    about:plugins
    Reference:
    Chrome: Attachments save as attachment.ashx and a number

  • Attachment Download Problem

    I use FIREFOX as my default browser for years. Yahoo is my main e-Mail, yet use Hotmail too. For 2 days now, I can not download any attachments (PDF, JPG, DOC, MPEG ect.) from any of my Yahoo accounts. If I forward the same mail to my Hotmail account, open it on FIREFOX, I can perfectly download the same attachment I couldn't from Yahoo.

  • I am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440MB) because there is not enough disk space.  disk utility says i have 249.8 GB of available disk space.  any suggestions as to what is the problem would be appreciated

    i am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440 MB) because there is not enough disk space.  please delete files or download to another disk."  when i check system information it tells me i have 249.82 GB of disk space available.  any suggestions as to what i can do to resolve this problem.

    don
    thanks for your suggestion.  that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
    i did what he instructed but it did not work.  i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem.  they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
    when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
    i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
    thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern.

  • Safari download problem

    Safari just stopped downloading files from a specific website. I now have to hold option and click for the file to download AND then it doesn't open automatically anymore, I now have to click on the file in the download list for it to open. Any suggestions. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
    Josh

    Just an update. I did try all of the above with no luck. Unfortunately it is not a website that can be tried as it is a private company website. On a side note I have another Mac machine and it works ok on that, but for some reason not this one. Again it is only that particular d/l that seems to be a problem. The interesting thing is it won't even initiate the download unless I CTL click on the item and select Download and then as mentioned it does not automatically download, I have to either go to the download list and/or the folder and manually open the file. I'm stumped.

  • Firefox downloads "failed". Have reset FF, been through "downloading problems" trouble doc, and uninstalled/reinstalled FF w/o luck. Safari is able to download.

    Recently I am unable to download anything in FF. It briefly acts as if downloading, but the file is corrupted and the next to the file in the DL manager it just says "Failed".
    I tried Resetting FF. No luck.
    Then I tried all the steps in the "downloading problems" support doc. No luck.
    I tried with all add-ons disabled. No luck.
    In desperation, I searched for "Firefox" and moved two folders called Firefox, the application, and a .plist file to the trash (still there) and redownloaded Firefox and reinstalled. No luck.
    If I click on a .pdf it will be be viewable, but it won't download. It's not just .pdfs that fail, it is any file I try and download.

    I have the same problem and I also tried a lot of troubleshooting advices without any success.
    The problem seems to be with OS X Parental Control turned on and using a other account than the one of the admin.
    The user sl-nw found a short-term solutions (changing back to version 31, working like a charm or turning off Parental Control), yet a long-term solution is needed:

    Perhaps Firefox should add a bug fix to their next update.

  • Mac Mail.app download problems

    Hello,
    I think I have tried everything.  I am currently trying to do the simplest tax ever.  I want my mail downloads to go to my downloads folder that I see in my downloads folders, the same folder safari does fine downloading too.  However when I click to download something in my mail like a photo or pdf.  It pops up my "Mail Downloads finder" so I went into the mail preferences and changed it to a different folder.  However, it changed nothing.  It sill downloads to the same folder hidden away in a library. 
    Not sure what to do, about to go to the apple store and ask them whats up.
    Anyone have any other advice for me.

    I think I've figured this out. I still have to "sneak up" on my .MAC prefs... but they seem to be working now. In addition, I deleted the Mail.app plist files, which solved my Mail problem.

  • Attachments dont download from Gmail in Safari, They disappear,I even tried re-downloading Safari and that download disappeared, it is not in my downloads folder, I actually searched in finder for the file and it is nowhere on my computer.  Please help!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Safari very slow downloading files

    When I bought my MacBook Pro in 2009 I used Safari for few days then I switched to Firefox, and the reason for that is that downloading any kind of files goes very slow to around 5 KB/s while downloading the same file in any other browser is so fast. Now after the release of Safari 4 I thought this problem could be solved but here again the exact same problem and I really love the new safari except that this problem is really annoying me. By the way browsing is working perfectly fine.
    I have a 2 Mpbs ADSL connection.
    any idea?

    Preference files retain information about the default and custom settings for a particular application. Also, they store information accumulated over time not directly related to a preference setting.
    In Safari's case, this retained and accumulated information comes from a variety of sources within and outside of Safari. For example, 3rd party add-ons, such as Glims, store information in the preference file pertinent to their operation and settings.
    Sometimes, corruption occurs if this information is incorrectly coded in the software. In that instance, as Safari accesses the preference file, it will crash due to a flaw in the data stream. Another example - updating Safari from one version to the next might trigger corruption if the 3rd party content within the preference file is not compatible with the new version's operation.

  • Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disk spacr

    safari could not download the file because there is not enough disk space I have a 1TB hard drive and only use a small amout of space.Mac os x mountain lion (12.8.2), HD 978.59 free out of 999.35GB.Please help Brenton

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • "Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"

    "Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"
    I have 60gb available on my MBA and I have "read and write" privileges for the download folder. This error seemingly came out of nowhere. It doesn't matter if the file is 1gb or 10mb, I'll get the error. All I have to do is remove the .download extension and I can use the file which is complete despite the error.
    This is really annoying so any help would be appreciated.

    I never used to have a problem with creating a new folder and moving the download into it
    But you'll have a problem if you do it now.
