[SOLVED] Can't download anything through browser
Hey hey all. Okay, so, I'm pretty much set on keeping Arch now. Some info on my system:
- LXDE
- i686 on an Intel Core2Duo machine
- Everything's updated
- Firefox/Gran Paradiso browser
Now, the problem: quite literally, nothing downloads. I was on box-look trying to pick up some new OpenBox themes, and when I clicked on a download link, it asked me "open or save", but then the file didn't download. So I went to DeviantArt. Same deal. No links I click on through my browser will download. What gives?
EDIT: sorry, I'm an idiot. Somehow, when I created the folder, the permissions were screwy. I had copied my Downloads folder from an external HD and for some reason it gave full permissions for everything except "write" for the folder owner. My bad, guys.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?
Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

Can't download in Firefox browser only, unless computer is in safemode.
When Firefox is running, the memory usage continues to grow without stopping until windows begin to drag as if I were really taxing my computer and internet, when I'm not. I also cannot download anything through Firefox, unless I reboot my computer to Safe Mode.
I have run through all of the tutorial/knowledge trouble shooting. Cleared all my history cookies, changed folders, removed extensions, disabled plugins, Refreshed Firefox, use the Firefox Safemode. None of it has changed anything.
I can use Chrome to download just fine, even when my computer is not in Safe Mode.
This all seemed to start within the last 4 days or so, and I remember that Firefox made me update about then. My laptop does not have the update and Firefox works fine. I'm currently at a loss. I prefer Firefox, but I have to use a different browser in order to continue working. My business is heavy with internet communication and this has been a nightmare. Until I hear back, I will begin setting up preferences in Chrome. Hope someone can find a solution. [Windows 7prof 64bit]I'm not sure what you mean by "changed folders," but have you tried this:
'''Clean Reinstall'''
We use this name, but it's not about removing your settings, it's about making sure the program files are clean. As set forth below, this process does not disturb your existing settings. Do NOT uninstall Firefox, that's not needed.
(1) Download a fresh installer for Firefox 37.0.2 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox (if applicable).
(3) Rename the program folder
''(64-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
''(32-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Any improvement?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* \OldFirefox\Plugins
* \OldFirefox\browser\plugins -
High memory use when checking downloads folder through browser
High memory use when checking downloads folder through browser.
I have a total of 3 DDR2 Gbytes of ram. Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz Win 7 home pr. 64bit. Firefox 27.0 beta
I right click on a file to "open containing folder" from the drop down menu in downloads.
When the folder has been opened, explorer is trying to index the folder (which it never does completely or well after 5 minutes I close the folder and shut down the dllhost process cause laptop is blazing hot) and memory keeps increasing till no more is available.
I checked task manager and see that dllhost is the particular process that is causing the spike in memory usage even after closing the folder I right click and stop the process and memory is restored after awhile.Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
I forgot my restriction password and I can't delete any app. I can't download anything either, I've filled up all the space in my iPad, and I need to update my iPad in order to restore it. But my iPad needs space in order to update to a newer vers. of ios.. I've also tried to restore to the previous backup, but it yet doesn't work. Please help :c!
I told you, I can't restore iOS. In order to restore my iPad, I need to update it to iOS 7.0.4, but my iPad needs available space to update, but I don't have any. I can't delete anything at all, so yeah.. are there any possible ways to restore my ipad without updating? If not, please state other ways to solve this problem.

Can't download anything from Ovi store , grayed-ou...
Hi,
I can't download anything from Ovi store anymore , both "download via PC" and "Download on mobile" options are disabled (grayed)
This applies to all applications including those which I have never downloaded before !!!
I have even created a completely new Ovi account , but with the same problem !
Any ideaHi all,
Thanks for the feedback.
Please use the search function as your question may be asked, and answered before.
When you look at the page in the store you will see a link below the buttons which says:
As you can see on the above image (and on the Nokia Store app pages) you need to install Nokia Drop for the buttons to activate.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

My iOS is 4, but I can't download anything in itunes or appstore unless I update to 5.0 but my ipod says that my device is updated. Hoiw do I fix this?
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318
To more eassly find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
If you want an app the requires iOS 4.3 or higher you will need to get a newer model iPod -
Help! can't download anything!
Hi, i really don't know what to do anymore, i think i have somehow deleted the thing that downloads stuff onto my ibook. Now i can't download anything! I'm not too sure but i think it must have happened when i got 'speed download' - but that didn't work so now i don't have anything, and can't download anything to fix it either!
Please help!! any suggestions?
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)peep06 ==
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you downloaded Speed Download, and then decided not to use it,
(not pay for it), you need to UNinstall it. Not just trash it. In your SD folder, there is an uninstaller. If you deleted the folder, you can manually uninstall it, but it's quite a feat.
This info is from Ian Bickerstaffe:
How to
MANUALLY UNINSTALL Speed Download 1.8 from your computer:
Under Classic: Drag the following to the Trash:
- The Speed Download folder
- Speed Download CMM (found in: System Folder/Contextual Menus)
- Speed Download Browser Plugin (found in: System Folder/Internet Plug-Ins)
- Speed Download Preferences (found in: System Folder/Preferences)
- Speed Download Queue (found in: System Folder/Preferences)
Under MacOS X: Drag the following to the Trash:
- The Speed Download folder
- Speed Download Browser Plugin (found in: User/Library/Internet Plug-Ins)
- Speed Download Preferences (found in: User/Library/Preferences)
- Speed Download Queue (found in: User/Library/Preferences)
- Open your browser's preferences, and go into the 'File Helpers' section.
- Delete all entries that contain Speed Download.
- Quit and restart your browser.
What Speed Download 1.8 installs:
Under Classic:
- System Folder/Internet Plug-Ins: Speed Download Browser Plugin
- System Folder/Contextual Menus: Speed Download CMM
Under MacOS X:
- User/Library/Internet Plug-Ins: Speed Download Browser Plugin
- User/Library/Contextual Menu Items: SpeedDownload CMM
Until you resolve this, you won't be able to download.
So, get to work, peep !!! -

Can't download anything with blackberry torch 9810
got a new phone about a year ago and can't download anything. I was told to sot set it back, update it, etc but it doesn't work. any ideas?
Hi and Welcome to the Community!

Any chance you can be a little bit more specific? What exactly do you attempt? What exactly happens when you attempt it? Are any error messages presented? If so, what is the exact and complete content of them?
BeeApple wrote:

I have no clue what that means ("sot"???), and of course cannot interpret "etc", so I risk redundancy. Nevertheless...
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Please help - I am not too computer savvi and my computer keeps telling me my start up disk is full. I have purchased a passport and transferred loads of images and files onto that and then deleted them from my computer but the message is still the same and I can't download anything.
How big is your hard drive, and how much space is used/free?
To find out, click once on the hard drive icon on your desktop to highlight it (it will be called Macintosh HD unless you renamed it). Click the command and I keys on your keyboard to open the information window. In "General", you will see Capacity and Available. What are those figures?
If you have a little bit of space left, I recommend that you install Omnidisksweeper (it's free) to tell you what folders are using up the most room.
Be careful when you transfer files - only move files that you know are yours. Don't move or delete any system files unless you're specifically recommended to do so (some files are safe to delete; some are not).

I just bought a new Ipad mini a while ago, and created a new apple ID *********** , I can't download anything on apps store, it keeps on asking for a credit card but I don't have one. Can I create an account without a credit card?
<Edited by Host>Read this:
iTunes Store: Accepted forms of payment
It is the same for the app store. You are required to have some sort of payment method in the record.

I have tried to change my Apple ID and was successful but when I go to the App Store my Apple ID appears as the old one. I no longer have a password for it. Now I can't download anything. What do I do?
Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.
