Trouble downloading anything from Safari!

OK, so here's my problem. Whenever I try to download something from a webpage using Safari or any other web browser, I get an error message in the download window that reads for example: "Safari can't show the file "iPodUpdate2006-01-10.dmg" in the Finder. Safari can't show the file "iPodUpdate2006-01-10.dmg" in the Finder because the file hasn't been created yet." That's just an example, but anything I click that uses that download window comes up with that same message. Please help.

Hi, Sean, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
Do you have problems regardless of website or just with specific ones? If the problems only occur with specific pages, could you paste the address in a reply so we can take a look?
What happens if you Option-Click on a file to download it directly?
What other browsers have you tried besides Safari?
What happens if you try downloading from a new user account? To create a new account, open System Preferences and click on Accounts. You may have to click on the padlock and give your admin name and password to create an account. Click on the plus sign in the lower right corner to create the new account. I see no reason to give it a password. You can delete this account later using using the minus key, although I have kept my second account to use for testing (the user folder only takes up 32 kb).

You cannot download anything through safari. Apps come from the App Store icon and music through the iTunes icon.

More specificially, you may only download files that may be opened by another app. First install an app that handles the type of file you want to download.

Please help me! I am trying to download maps for minecraft pe on my iPod touch and I don't want to download an app like iexplorer, ifile, or anything like that! Is it possible?!? (Note:Your reply can include using a computer for downloading, but I don't want to download anything on that ether.)

I am trying to download a minecraft pe map on www.adf.com and I am going to try to get it on minecraft pe. Come to think of it, how do you get it on that app? Also, let me rephrase me original question. You CAN use a app for it but it must be free and, if it is on the computer, then note this, I DO NOT have a Mac of any kind.

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to Safari. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot.

Can't download anything from App Store - MacBook

I've been using Windows 7 exclusively on my MacBook via Boot Camp for several years. I've since deleted the Windows partition. I ran a Software Update and am currently running OS X 10.6.8. I want to upgrade OS X further but can't download Yosemite (or anything) from the App Store. I click "get" and the button becomes unclickable but nothing happens. I also can't open iTunes.
I don't have anything on this computer that needs to be saved so I'm more than willing to restore, though I don't know how.

I'm having the exact same issue in the exact same situation.
I'm getting the error below in Console every time I try to install or download anything from the App Store. I suspect this has something to do with Safari and some Javascript code being used by Appstore pages.
I wish there was a direct link to download Yosemit. I'm stuck now...

Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

When I try to download anything from iTunes or the app store on my iPod touch, my sister's Apple ID comes up instead of my Apple ID. How can I get my iPod touch to ask for the password for my Apple ID rather that of my sister's.

When I try to download anything from iTunes or the App Store on my iPod Touch, my sister's Apple ID pops up instead of mine. How can I get my iPod Touch to display my Apple ID and ask for my password rather than display my sister's Apple ID?

You can try to tell the iPod to use yours:
1. Tap Settings
2. Navigate to "iTunes & App Store"
3. Tap Apple ID:
4. Tap "Sign Out"
5. Sign in to your account.

How come I can't download anything from mac app store?

I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

I have lost my iBooks and iTunes and iBooks does not load plus I cannot download anything from my app icon.does anyone know what the problem is.

I cannot use iTunes or iBooks and my iBooks library is blank although I have purchased books in the past. Also I cannot download anything from my app icon. Has anyone experienced this and if so how do I correct.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
