Safari stopped downloading from the net.

For some reason, I can't figure out, Safari and Firefox all of a sudden won't allow me to donwload anything from the net. Safari switches the URL to the download site, then immediatley switches back to the URL of origin. I have checked the preferences and reloaded all the applications from my start up disks. Still won't work.

Thanks Bee! That worked like a charm :~) Everything back to normal

Guys,
I think whenever you put a download "enhancer" on
your computer,
then just trash it, it leaves behind lots of files
all over the place.
Speed Download comes with an UNinstaller.
That's pretty much what you need.
You could try doing a "find"
(pressing the Apple key along with the letter "f"
key)
and type in the name of the application. Then do the
same thing
for the company name (SpeedDownload=Yazsoft, Pam).
Then delete all all files that you find, restart your
computer, and try again.
See if that helps, and then let us know how you're
doing.

Nobody here is responsible for what is or is not available in any country. I believe it is a software licensing thing.

Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

Extremely slow file downloads from the 'net (Pavilion G5460uk)

We have an HP Pavilion G5460uk desktop with Windows 7 (64-bit) updated to SP1 and current, and use IE10 and Chrome. Protection is by Norton360 supported with Spywareblaster and Spybot S&D, and also access to Norton 'Eraser', ESET scanner and Sophos virus remover. The PC is ethernet-cabled into the router but with also use other laptops etc wirelessly (all all these are working fine, with the same antivirus setup etc, without the problems we have on the HP desktop).
Performance on the internet seems fine EXCEPT that the desktop is now extremely slow at downloading any files (to the point that it is timed-out on the servers). It is impossible to download anything large onto it directly from the 'net(we are using the other PC's to transfer files) - although MS updates seem to get on OK.
We tried HP 'Support Assistant' which recommends two updates: Ralink Wireless Network Controller (sp58084) & 802.11n WLAN (sp60924) updates. Of course we cannot download these directly but it is unclear whether these are relevant to the problem anyway.
It does not appear to be a network/internet, software currency or virus issue. Some setting somewhere? Please can someone advise on what now needs to be done.
This question was solved.

Matter now resolved! We thought that we had covered everything before bringing it here. But just one dodgy router port connection is all it takes. Thanks for your time.

Itunes gives me this error message This copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes (-42037) However, it will not install-- when i try to download from the net it says same message. How do i reinstall Itunes?

Itunes gives me an error message when I try to open. "This copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes (-42037) "
Howeever it says the same thing when i try to download from the app store. How do I get this reinstalled??

First uninstall your copy of Itunes--http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/ (make sure you empty crash) Then you go to the applications website and reinstall it. Dont worry about losing any of your music because thats in a separate folder. Thats it---it works.

How can I see what, when and how much has been downloaded from the net?

I use a satellite internet service which limits me to only 200Mb of downloads in a 24 hr period. Should I go over, I am "locked out" of my internet service for the next 24 hr period. Lately I have been locked out without thinking I have downloaded anything. I am wondering if there is a place on the computer I can look to give me an idea what has been downloaded and when? I did change the Apple software update to not "automatically update important files" but I am wondering are there any other programs or anything the system may be downloading automatically without me knowing and what can be done to rectify it?
Thanks

Thanks for the thoughts. Here is some more for consideration. I was locked out yesterday and when I finally got out of "lock up" today, I went to my satellite internet provider's site to see how much and when it was downloaded. I booted my machine at about 10 AM yesterday and according to their site between 10 and 11 AM I downloaded 188MB of data. Then from 11 AM to Noon they said I downloaded another 28MB which then resulted in my being locked out of the internet until noon today. During that time I was on the net, I initiated no downloading from any site nor did I have any video streaming. What is frustrating is I have no idea what is being downloaded or how much. Most other days of the week it appears that downloaded material is 75Mb or less and I can remember generating the downloads.Looking at their site, the "downloading" of mystery material begins quickly after booting the computer which leads me to believe, as Kappy was saying, this is likely something like Apple Software updater or such set to "Download on Startup". I guess I'm not quite sure how to check to see what is set to "Download on Startup" and how to make sure nothing downloads at startup unless approved by me. Any thoughts?

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

Intermittent fault - can't download from the net

Hi all
While I can download using right-click, all too often I can't download by hitting the relevant 'download' button, or in another tab.
This appears to happen with mirror sites, but may include others.
I'm a regular 'Repair/verify permissions' junkie, and have mooched about my Library plists and FTP settings. I also cache clean regularly. All to no avail.
Any ideas?

*Exactly what happens when it doesn't download? Any message/error?*
No. The download barbershop bar keeps running +/or the busy icon spinning, to no effect. Checking the downloads window, there's nothing there.
I've left it running for up to 2 hours, with no change.
*Do you have a particular link or two that doesn't work for you so we can check it out?*
Frankly, it works on most all links - from Apple to Skype.
*Have you tried another Browser?*
Yes. Both Firefox and Safari. I don't think it's a browser issue, and I've trawled each for answers.
*Is there a particular filetype that doesn't work?*
How remiss of me!
Yes - it's always with dmg files.
Occasionally others (tho I can't think of any off the top of my head).
This means updates etc can be quite difficult to do if the right-click isn't working.

I use program PDF Converter Professional.When downloading from the net I want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to open downloaded pdf forms. Adobe Acrobat is my default program but Firefox keeps using PDF Converter. How do I change this?

Acrobat Reader is the default program for all variants of pdf files, both in Windows 7 and in Firefox.

So you have a trial version of Acrobat (that is not activated) installed? If so, uninstall it.
Do you also have Adobe Reader installed? If so, you need to open it once and accept the EULA.

27' imac is slow to navigate and download from the net, and the computer freezes while on the net, what could be causing this issue?

can anybody answer this question

Johnso,
Please complete your profile so we at least know a little more about your system, Apple has made quite a few 27" iMac models using different versions of OS X so it would be helpful to us if we knew the model you had and the version of OS X installed.
PLEASE complete your profile, you can find it under Your Stuff and Profile in the upper right of this page.

Can't open files from the 'net...

Hi,
the .Net 2.0 framework is an application layer which is only used with Microsoft Windows !
Therefor the zip file you have seems to also be for Windows only and can not be run in OSX.
If you are running the CoH game while in Windows, you can download the .Net framework from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0856eacb -4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5
Later versions of the .Net framework can be found, when scrolling down on that website.
As said you can only use this when running Windows on your Mac, not in OSX.

Hello - my safari on my ipad2 gives the following message "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"...email works fine and I can download from the app store...seems to just be a safari issue

Marc-
The Safari message is probably telling the truth. Is the problem repeatable at several websites, or is it only with a particular one? If all websites, you may have trouble with your internet connection downloading large amounts of data. Mail messages are relatively small unless there are attachments or embedded images.

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

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.
