Some file types not listed in Applications settings

OS: Windows XP SP3
Firefox 4.0 & Pale Moon 4.0.5
I have a problem when I download files of the executables type (.exe). Previously, I have checked the sign so that Firefox automatically download the file via download manager. Unfortunately, some sites disallow downloading with it. But, when I want to change the setting, I can't find the executables type in the Applications settings. So, how I download normally again? Please help!

I think the setting you need must be in the add-on's settings.
Firefox's Tools > Options > Applications is for downloads that need an application to open them. Executables are designed to run directly on the OS rather than being opened by another application. Also, executable files usually are sent from the server with a generic binary file header, so Firefox will not be able to match them up with a particular file type.

  • Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

    When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
    ‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library.  Do you want to associate them now?  When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
    The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
    I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones.  I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
    As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
    If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
      In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID? 

    Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
    I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
    Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
    What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

  • I am unable to send mail on my IPad because the iPad ignores the single correctly configures outgoing server and instead looks for long since deleted outgoing server which is not listed in my settings at all.

    Some time ago I used to use an outgoing mail server, which I will call 'XYZ'.  However I changed email providers and now have a new outgoing server which I will call 'ABC'. I tried deleting that old outgoing server when I changed email providers but had problems doing so.  So what I did was completely delete all email accounts from my iPad and then reinstalled the two new email accounts from scratch, complete with the new outgoing server 'ABC'.  That appeared to be successful, and I can receive email OK.  Also the new server 'ABC' is the ONLY outgoing server listed in my settings on either account
    However despite the new server being the only one in my settings the iPad will not send mail and shows an error message saying that the settings for the OLD server 'XYZ' are incorrect.  I cannot amend or delete that server as it has already been deleted and is not listed in my settings.
    It is like the iPad is somehow still remembering that old server and thinks it's the primary one.  Or it's getting old server info fron iCloud or something.
    My iPhone has the same two email accounts and identical settings and does not have this issue.
    Any ideas, other than a complete factory reset?
    Many thanks

    pls reply me..its very urgent...thanku..

    You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

  • While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

    While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again.  Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks

Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

  • Acrobat XI Pro not listed under applications after installation

    Mac OS: 10.9.1
    Processor: Intel Core i7 2.3GHz
    After installed Acrobat XI Pro, it is displayed in the Creative Cloud Desktop as "Up to date"
    But not listed under "Applications" folder.
    Could not find Acrobat XI Pro anywhere in the computer.
    When you choose "Open with" option for pdf file, not displays Acrobat XI Pro.
    Instead it displays the older version Acrobat Pro 9.
    Someone please help to fix this.

    So, I completed all the steps with no luck. Uninstalled CC and all its components, ran the cleaner, etc. When I reinstalled a fresh version of the Creative Cloud Desktop App, it showed as if Acrobat XI Pro is already installed - see attached screen shot. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    It seems there is something wrong with your code, from your code the account and key are the same, because their appsetting name are the same.
    string account = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageAccountName"];
    //string account = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageAccountName");
    //string key = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageAccountAccessKey");
    string key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageAccountName"];
    string connectionString = String.Format("DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName={0};AccountKey={1}", account, key);
    return CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connectionString);
    If you use CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting, please consider set azure project as the startup project, if not, this value will be null, this resulted in solution being started as a web project that didn't run inside the Azure emulator. Since CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting
    tries to get setting by contacting Azure (or Azure emulator in this case), and it is not running, it returns null.

  • I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures.

    I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures. In fact, iPhoto indicates that I have zero photos in the library while at the same time indicating the file size as 12.5 GB.

    If your old iPhoto version was iPhoto 7, you need to run the iPhoto Library upgrader:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
    It will install itself in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    Run it, and after that, you should be able to open your iPhoto Library with iPhoto '11.

  • Can't create a partition - 'some files could not be moved'

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to install Boot Camp on my MBP C2D, 2.33GHz, 3GB RAM, x1600 128. I set the size of the partition and after a long time get an error that the partition could not be created, because some files could not be moved. It tells me to go into disk utility and restore the Mac OS drive to a single partition and install OSX again.
    I'm at university so I can't reinstall OSX, and don't want to. As I've read from around the net this problem means there is a big file somewhere that can't be moved, or something similar. What I've done is check my disk with iDefrag, which says its only 0.7% fragmented, I've 'erased' my free space, I've deleted even more stuff off my Mac HD (have 35 or so GB free, only want a 5GB partition), I've verified and fixed both the drive and permissions in disk utility and disk ulitity from a CD boot, and tried changing the size of the partition. I tried creating a partition in disk utility, and was told it could not be done because there was not enough space (there definately was). I've used a bunch of tools to clean up my computer, re-indexed spotlight, and I'm at the end of my rope of ideas. I've had bootcamp many times on this laptop before, so am totally at a loss what to do. Does anyone have any ideas? Again, I can't reinstall OSX/wipe the drive.
    I'm using Leopard, 10.5.5.
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. I went from 40 GB to 230 GB of free disk space. Tried creating a partition with 100, 80, 60 GB, but it slaps me with the same error message each time. It is ridiculous to ask users to backup and restore their information (by the way, it should say take a long process of backing up all your files, reformatting your hard drive and reinstalling your operating system together with all applications). I do have an external drive, but it is already full. Why else would anyone buy it? To wait for something like a boot camp error to happen and ask me to backup my stuff? There are big files on my computer and if now over 230 GB is not enough free space for it to move them around then I can really be ashamed for ever buying such an expensive computer which can't do a simple task as creating a partition.

  • When trying to change ringtone I keep getting the error message file type not supported.

    I have downloaded some ringtones fro VZ Tones and when I go to make them the default it gives me the error message file type not supported.  If I go to my storage and try to look at pictures, it tells me the same thing.

        That's definitely odd CrystiDawn, and I understand it can be quite frustrating. Let's get to the bottomof this. What device make and model phone do you have? Did you receive a text message with a link to download the ringtones? If so, once downloaded, please go to all your Apps, locate "Files" and play the ringtone using the media player. You will have the option to set it as ringtone while playing and pressing the menu icon. Were the pictures taken from the phone or transferred using the USB cable?

  • Loops not work - File type not supported

    Hi guys and girls
    one of the imacs (10.6.7) at the site I work at has begun to display the following message when you try to select any of the loops from within garageband.
    "file type not supported" and then you have no other option other than to abort. I have tried deleting the loop directory before dragging the loops back into garageband which has always fixed any issues with loops in the past, however the error still displays.
    Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

    The message I get is "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and file name are correct and try again".
    Please see the Microsoft support doument Windows Media Player 9 Series for Mac OS X Readme. Scroll down to the section on Playing Protected Files.
    Sometimes you can view the source code for the web page to locate the specific media file. If you copied that address and then pasted that address in File > Open URL in Windows Media Player, you may get to listen to or watch the file. This trick does not always work.

  • E70 PDF Reader : Unable to open. File type not sup...

    This morning I have bought an E70, among others due to its highscreen resolution and the possibility to run a PDF reader on it.
    I have now tried ...
      - the pre-installed Adobe PDF Reader
      - the Adobe PDF Reader supplied with the PC Suite CD-ROM
      - the Adobe PDF Reader available on europe.nokia.com
    I am fascinated by a software which presents itself in the About box as '1.5', prompts during installation for '1.0.5' and has filenames '1_5_0'.
    Apart from minor variations in the SIS filenames they all share the same annoying feature: They refuse to display any of my PDF files but display a message 'Unable to open. File type not supported. 5. !' instead.
    It doesn't seem to be a problem of the PDF files, since a collegue of mine was able to open them on his E61 or E70 (forgot to ask).
    Any idea what this problem could be caused by?

    I am speechless -- but happy.
    The complaint about the file type only appears if you try to open a PDF stored in the phone memory but not if you try to open a PDF stored on the memory card.
    Problem solved.

  • Revel Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded."

    Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded. 1 file was unable to be uploaded and was skipped." I am a Revel user from its inception. I have never had upload errors before in Adobe Revel. I am trying to upload jpeg files in the same way I have done for months, which is by dragging and dropping files directly into an album I have created. Starting yesterday, only some files upload properly. Others receive the above error message. When I have tried to re-upload the jpegs which have not gone, I receive either the same error message or a slightly different error which indicates the files are not uploading because they are duplicates. They're not duplicates and appear nowhere else in my Revel albums. I have rebooted my Window 7 PC, I have repeatedly logged out and back into Revel. I have tried both Firefox and IE. I have tried creating new albums and uploading the failed files to a new album. I have cleared my Firefox cache. I have tried both the "drag and drop" feature and the "Add Photos or Videos" button in Revel. I have tried using the "Export to Revel" feature in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I have tried uploading never-before-attempted files, and - on average - only 25% of those brand-new files are uploading. I am a subscriber and pay for the Revel service, so I am not bumping into any upload quotas. I have read through these forums and have found problems similar to mine as far back as May 2013, but none of the problems ever seem to have been resolved other than the users simply giving up. Can you help? I am becoming increasingly confused with respect to which files have succeeded and which files have failed. Thank you. -Dori

    Yvonne-
    You can have many libraries with many albums and files within them. Each library is independent, so if you upload a file to two libraries then you two copies. If you put a photo from a library in albums that live within that library, then there is only one copy in the library that each album has access to so it will show up when you view the album. This might help : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5197228#5197228.
    I found a few incomplete files in your account also. We will take care of this for you and contact you when it is complete.

  • The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved

    Hi guys,
    I removed my bootcamp partition to clear up some temp space and expanded the Mac OS partition up to the fullest size again using Boot Camp Assistant.
    The first thing I noticed was that when I restart to computer gets stuck on an ugly BIOS looking screen with a message something along the lines of "no bootable partitions could be found", Easy way round is to hold down the ALT key which brings up a sole Mac OS button to boot from.
    Now I try and make a little partition again using the assistant and it won't let me because it says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved". It then advises to back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended volume before restoring again.
    Is there anyway to fix this lot without going through doing this.
    Will Boot Camp Restore re-instate the OS as well as my user files?

    I had a similar problem when I undid my boot camp partition to make it larger. I tried to make it 50 GB which gave me the same error about the files not being able to be moved. I didn't get the "no bootable partitions" error. I changed the size of the partition to 47 GB and ran the boot camp assistant. It stopped while partitioning and I have to force quit to stop it. I restarted the assistant and made the partition a little larger to 48 GB and it partitioned finally. My suggestion is to ry adjusting the size of the partition and see if that allows you to make the partition at least. For you other problem, I'm not sure... From what I gathered from other forums, the drive might be fragmented which causes the partition error. There is no free defragment tool for mac (dunno why) but they exist.
