Safari not downloading videos

im having problems downloading videos. sometimes my videos will begin to download normally to my download folder, but other times they will just open in the same window and start playing and not allow me to download them. i downloaded flip4mac to play windows media player videos but i don't believe this would be the cause of the problem. does anyone have any advice?

  • My RealPlayer is not downloading videos anymore on Firefox 28. My Realplayer plug in is no longer seen in my extensions section either. How can I fix this ?

    My RealPlayer download feature (the button that appears on top of a video to allow a download) was working fine until a few days ago, when I installed the latest Flash player update (12 something). Now, my Real Player does not work, at all. In fact, when I looked for the Real Player plug in in my 'Extensions' folder, it was not there (though it is listed in my 'Plug In' section). How can I get my Real Player download to work again, as well as have it return to my 'Extensions' section ?
    Thanks,
    Gary

  • Real Player and Realdownloader are not downloading videos.

    These apps were working until 7/2/13. The popup does not appear on the top right of the video. They do work with IE. Now I've deleted them with Control Panel and reinstalled, but no luck. I'm running an XP box.

    Solved the whole Real Player-Firefox issues. Simply go your control panel, select "Programs", under "Default Programs" click on "Change default settings for media or devices". Find Video Files and choose Real Player logo to Import Music, Video and Pictures using Real Player. Click "Save" at the bottom of the window, then closeout and restart Firefox. You should see the "Download this Video" icon in YouTube videos once again and download at will. One caveat, it seems to work great on amateur videos and the like. I had an issue downloading some music videos. It's kind of hit or miss, you will have to keep trying to download a video if it doesn't work initially. I noticed that it downloads videos as a .dash file and then Real Player downloader will convert the file to mp4 or whatever format you have it set to in your preferences. These directions are for Windows 7, you will have to find the equivalent control panel options for other Windows OS. Good luck!

  • Safari not downloading upon click

    Hello,
    A friend of mine is running 10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.2. The browser does not download any files upon click of the download link. The link must be right clicked and then "saved as". The same behaviour happens with Firefox as well. This is really surprising as both browsers show the same exact behaviour. Do you have any advice regarding this?
    There are no extensions or plug-ins installed with Safari or Firefox.
    Thanks.

    HI,
    For the friend running Safari 5.0.2.
    There is a Safari update available from the Apple menu / Software Update..
    Resetting Safari from the Safari menu may help. Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons, click Reset.
    Help here for emptying the Firefox cache. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20clear%20the%20cache
    And since both browsers are having problems downloading files make sure the user can get e-mail. If not, then it might be the internet connection itself causing the problem.
    System Preferences / Network. Select the *Assist Me* button then click Diagnostics. If any of the buttons on the left are red, click Continue.

  • Can not download videos from Panasonic ZS20

    Running iPhoto 8.1.2 ('09) on Lion.  Imports photos OK from Panasonic-ZS20, but will not retrieve video clips from camera.

    That camera shoots AVCHD, which is a format designed for people who want to edit video, so you really should be bringing that into iMovie.
    Or, the most recent versions of iPhoto 11 has limited AVCHD support.

  • Safari not downloading PDF's correctly

    I find that Safari since updating to Maverick but any pdf download will not open, Adobe claiming the file to be damaged. Chrome will do the downloads correctly.
    In addition I am finding that opening any application is much slower than from Mountain Lion.

    Hi
    You may have an Adobe PDF plugin blocking the works. Go to your HD>Library>Internet Plugins folder.
    If you see an Adobe PDF plugin, move it to the desktop. Then, go to your Applications folder and open either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. Open the preferences and uncheck the Internet setting for PDF reading.
    Then restart Safari and try a PDF.

  • Safari not downloading anything... wth?

    I have a love/hate relationship with Safari right now. I love the actual browser, I hate the fact it won't allow me to download a thing. I'm not talking about downloading from illegal sites or going through any page redirects, I cannot download a thing at all. My page goes to a blackish screen and stops or it just stalls, flashes once and nothing happens.
    Here's what I've checked for:
    1). No, I don't have Speed Download installed or a plug-in/filter for it.
    2). I don't have a com.apple.safari.plist file or even a safari folder in Application Support.
    3). I'm running Lion 10.7.3 and Safari 5.1 currently.
    I've even uninstalled/reinstalled Safari with no luck.
    What the heck is going on with Safari???

    Hi mate
    I'm getting the same problem. Have purchased a new macmini and tried to download carbonite on my machine and it won't. Did you get anywhere with this problem?

  • Safari not downloading website

    hey all...
    I have a website for my band that my PC using friend created. I can log onto the site, but none of the audio that is programed into the site works on my comp, however, it does on others PC'S. I have a G4 Tower and have tried both Safari 1.2 and my Explorer 5.2.3 but neither of them completely download the page.....images/words yes...audio no.
    Any help is greatly appreciated as always. The site is
    www.thickspage.com

    G4 tower   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    I have never programmed a page to start with music, so I don't know all the techniques (I tend to learn things as I need them), but on the fancy end, I have seen pages that, even if the sound/music starts immediately, let you adjust the volume or turn the sound off. Other pages invite the user to click on a link or button to hear the music. The embed tag does have some variables, like automatic or user initiated playback and the volume (worse than a site starting with something is a site starting with something at full/loud volume). One of the times that automatic playback is most intrusive is when I am also listening to iTunes, and then the two interfere with each other. Actually, if I am not listening to anything and I come across a site that starts playing something at a reasonable volume and that is not to grating then I do not mind it. BTW, strange is good, offensive is bad. ;-)>

  • Safari not downloading but open any file in browser

    All of a sudden I can't seem to download any files with Safari anymore, where it use to save the file in the download folder it stop doing that and trying to open the files in the browser, so for example a text file will show up as text in the browser, binary files show garbage on the web browser - nothing in download folfer even though that is where it's suppose to save download that is set in Preferences. Can't remember changing anything or installing something new.
    Running a MacBook Pro on OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.0.5.
    Did not have Speed Download or anything like that installed.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Go to ~/Library/Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Safari not playing video after iOS 6

    Since iOs 6 upgrade none of our iPhones (4 & 4s) nor our two iPads will play the mpeg video from our ip webcams. Worked perfectly before, now safari just sits there with the little activity circle going round and round. The cameras can be accessed as before from a PC, so they are clearly ok.
    iOs6 is a great disappointment, having screwed up several things that worked before (apart from the maps debacle!)

    It takes several minutes and tries for me to even get a track playing. Screen locks then goes white and then locks for three minutes then I can change tracks. IOS 6.0 is an utter nightmare. Whoever was behind this at Apple needs to be fired for this utter fiasco!!!  Steve would have had this happen!
