Safari won't download properly

I deleted my realmedia .plist, which perhaps wasn't a good idea, and now when i go this website: http://www.kcm.org/media/webcasts/index.php , I'm unable to download the mp3s from it, whereas before Safari just opened up the download window, downloaded the file and I went on my merry wey, now it opens a new window, plays the file if I want, but I can't save the thing.
How do I reset Safari to download the way it originally did?

  • Safari won't start properly - update related??

    Suddenly , when I open Safari, it doesn't start properly - I just get the spinning wheel icon and I cannot browse websites. ( Luckily, I have Chrome which is working.
    I don't know if it was related the recent Delta os update so I downloaded the 'Combo' update and applied it but still Safari won't work.
    I don't fancy the re-installation of Lion just to get Safari working but if there's something less drastic, perhaps someone can suggest something.
    Thx in advance.

    That's not good news.  Creating a new user account should be a trivial exercise, unless there is something wrong with your system. The fact that Chrome is working doesn't reassure me... it could be a system problem that doesn't affect Chrome because it isn't deeply embedded into the system.
    I suggest two steps:
    1) Boot into your recovery partion by holding COMMAND-R when you reboot your computer.  Then open disk utility and do a verify disk on your main partition.
    If that is ok:
    2) If you have a good quality internet connection, it could be worth downloading the 10.7.3 Install Mac OS X app from the Mac App Store and reinstalling (after making an appropriate backup of course).  If all goes well, your data and user accounts will be preserved, but it will work better.

  • Flash player for safari won't download

    Flash Player for Safari 7.04 won't download. It's not an antivirus issue because it's turned off, everything is enabled.

    Chris,
    My problem was that while the installer downloaded, the installation process always crapped out and gave me this error message: "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation". Tried everything and none of it worked. I COULD download v12 of Flash, but noticed that it used a different style of installer that has a simpler, "chunkier" progress bar and overall look, and doesn't ask about whether Flash should check for updates automatically until AFTER the install was done (different from the standard v14 installer, which has a skinnier progress bar and prompts you about auto updates before most of the installation happens).
    Just saw your post, downloaded the installer from the macromedia link you provided, and it installed fine! Superfast. Done and done.
    In doing so, however, I noticed that the alt version of the v14 Flash installer from your link also has the same simpler, chunkier type of installer as v12. is there a know problem with the standard (skinny progress bar) version of the installer and Mavericks? This has happened before, and I'm now just realizing that the installs only ever work with the "alt" style of installer.
    a) Is Adobe aware of this problem? are they working to make a fix so that i don't have to pull my hair out everytime there's a new security update for Flash?
    b) Would you please consider posting your solution in a more obvious place? I'm betting there are a lot of other Mac users having this issue, but because Adobe help can be sort of a byzantine mess (not you, obviously, but the system itself) I'm betting there are a ton of Mac users that are just giving up, like I almost did. Making this issue known, and positing the alt download will save many people many hours of grief.
    Thanks for posting your solution!
    Cheers,

  • Videos from purchased CD won't download properly - Errors 3159 or 3250

    I bought and downloaded Beck's new CD. Several videos were part of the package but none of them downloaded. Each had either of the two following Errors: 3159 or 3250. How do I get them to download properly without repurchasing the entire thing...which I'm not about to do? Btw, I'm using the latest, updated version of iTunes.
    Thanks for the help.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I had the exact same problem with the exact same CD. It successfully downloaded 3 of the songs/videos, and charged me for the whole CD...and I too had errors for most of them.
    Please help -- because I also do not want to buy the CD again!

  • Websites won't download properly

  • Loops and certain instruments won't download properly

    The loops won't don't download as well as certain instruments.  Any help?

    This is the WMP plugin: np-mswmp , so you have it.
    You may be missing a codec to play that content or some extension or security software is blocking that content.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Videos won't download properly from my digital camera

    I recently bought a 7.2 megapixel digital camera and on any of the video settings that I record a video, the videos don't import properly into iPhoto. The thumbnail in iPhoto is just a black square and it shows the length of the video in seconds. when I click on it to play in quicktime, all i see is a white screen. In the Finder, the thumbnail is a white box. In QuickTime, the sound works fine, just no images. Any ideas???

    Hi Mich 64elle,
    check your camera specs and see what the file type is of the video clips.
    How long are your video clips?
    Have you tried using Image Capture and see if the clips download correctly?
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.

    I just got a new Canon S2 IS. It can take a video for as long as you have a card that can hold it. I don't use iPhoto to download from from camera. I use Image Capture and have no problems. The file type of the videos is AVI

  • Safari won't open properly

    Hi,
    My Macbook is about 4 years old with no problems until now. I went on a website to watch a show, adds usually come up but I was always able to remove them. This time I could not, I even restarted my laptop but whenever I open safari it is still that add and says:
    "  www.virusscanalert.com
    System At Risk!!
    Due to Suspicious activity detected on the computer, Critical errors have been found. Error Code - S1L457.

    Call Customer Technical Support at 1-844-608-4612 and share this code with the agent. "
    Every time I open safari I get the add and I can't close it and I have to force quit in order to get rid of it. I already did the macbook diagnosis test and it says there are no problems. I don't know what else to do.

  • How can I install firefox on my I-pad? safari won't download the file. Safari sucks.

    Safari will not load files. How do I get fiefox and google on My I-pad?

    There is no version of Firefox (whether mobile or desktop) for the iPad or iPod touch or iPhone.
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms#Other_Platforms
    iPhone/iPad/iPod
    We have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine (or none at all, like Opera Mini which downloads pre-rendered pages from Opera's servers and cannot run JavaScript code in the client). Because of this, we have no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users.
    However, you can download Firefox Home for iPhone, an iOS app that uses Firefox Sync to deliver Firefox bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

  • Safari won't open properly after Lion update.

    After updating to Lion, Safari will not load any pages. It begins to load a page and goes into an endless loop. No crash, so I can't generate any crash report. I don't see a way to reinstall Safari. How can I get it working again?

  • Since recent upgrade of OS X Safari  won't download a readable adobe document.  Is there a fix?

    I was notified to upgrade OS X to 10.8.5.  Part of the upgrade was adjustments to Safari.  Now when I download a document into Adobe format it will not open and gives an alert that it is not able to be opened because it is damaged.  Never happened before.  Does Safari need a fix?

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    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.
