Troubles while trying to download movie files from Rapidshare

Hi everybody,
I just installed SL and it works like a charm.
The only trouble I'm encountering is when I try to download a movie file from Rapidshare using Safari.
It seems that new Quicktime X bypass the Rapidshare page (the regular one that gives you two options: free user / member user) and it downloads directly the file, interpretating the rapidshare url like a normal one and adding a html extension to the original file once downloaded.
Downloaded file is clearly corrupted and useless.
I noticed this issue just with avi/mpg/wmv etc. files (no zip, rar and other extensions.
It's quite frustrating and I don't want switch to Firefox.
Thanks in advance to everybody will help
Best

I'm downloading a wmv file from Rapidshare.
I can play any wmv/mpg/avi file from other sites as Quicktime X works fine.
I think this issue is just related to Rapidshare url's.
IE: when I go to an url like this "rapidshare.com/855839383/file.wmv", Safari switches directly to Quicktime player (skipping RS download options) and, since the file isn't correctly downloaded, appears the quicktime logo with a "?" inside.

    I am trying to download a file from Safari. It doesn't work. It always comes up with a notification saying, 'Safari could not download this file'. Why does it do that? More importantly, what should I do? how do I download it?
    Thanks to the users who reply to this. It will help me a lot.

    What type of file is it?
    If safari can't natively open the file, or there is no App installed thatr can, it won't download.

  • Installed PS/LR 5 from cloud. Trying to download image files from iphone 4S.

    Installed PS/LR 5 from cloud. Trying to download photo files from Iphone 4S into LR on Imac OS X 10.8.5. No problem with files from Camera Roll but cannot access over 1,000 files stored on icloud. How to?

    You need to sync them in iTunes and download them there, then simply open them from the folder where they are stored in other programs.

  • Corrupted content error when trying to download .pdf file from one website.

    Unable to download .pdf file from a website, but IE8 provided the download without hesitation.
    Both v7 and v8 produced the same message:
    "Corrupted content error"
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.
    This may be a particular website problem, or it may be common to the particular industry segment and their protocols.
    I have followed the help leads and examined the profile for Firefox as used in this instance. Nothing untoward seemed to pop out as a causal factor.

    Reworked some of the javascript for our webserver and fixed the problem.

  • Excel 2013 hangs while trying to open a file from network share

    Hi,
    I am having issue opening excel file from a network share. it happens randomly, the file opens and hangs abruptly. Nothing happens after that ( we can only move the cursor), if we click on the excel sheet we get a beep sound. after i kill the excel process
    and open it again ,it works fine.
    Where did the member use the Excel file? Local disk, SharePoint, File server, or network shared disk?
           Network shared file and sometime locally
    Does the issue occur in the special file or every file?
          it happens randomly and the whole excel freezes. i have to kill the excel session.
    Which Office version is the file created? Excel 2013 or early? If it is XLS format, please try to convert to XLSX to test.
         Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013
      Does the file have some macros?
     Yes, they have macros in some files 
    Does the issue occur recently? If it is, have you installed some programs or update before you encountered it?
           it happened before too.
    Do you get some error message when Excel crashed?
    Yeah. Attaching the error message from event viewer. We get file corrupt errors and below too.

    to check the detailed information, and you might upload the screenshot or info here.

    2. Turn off "Protected View"  --> (File –-> Options –-> Trust Center --> Protected View --> Uncheck all options
    3. I notice that >>Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013 <<, it also might be caused by the Microsoft Office File Validation for Office 2010, please try to change setting in server with

  • ITunes keeps trying to download nonexistent file from Store, reports as "Corrupted"

    iTunes Match mis-matched one of my songs. It turns out it's from an album no longer carried in the iTunes Store. Through Customer Service, I obtained a credit to re-purchase the song from a different album.
    This was months ago. There hasn't been a problem - until now.
    Out of nowhere, iTunes started attempting to re-download the original song. The progress bar refills several times, then a pop-up dialog states the file is corrupted, and I should "Check Available Downloads" to try again. The track has even reappeared in my iTunes Library, albeit grayed out and with a "!" next to it.
    How do I convince iTunes and the iTunes Store that this is a non-existent track, and to stop trying to download it?

    I am having this issue as well, same error number and everything. Only one song too, the songs purchased before and after it download correctly. You have to press the report problem link specifically next to the song after pressing the initial report problem on your purchase history page.
    Not that Apple Support has done much for me yet, they claimed it was my ISP or something which is pure fabrication.

    The DNG Converter is a standalone program that converts an entire folder at a time.  It is independent of Lightroom.  The camera you mention was first supported by LR 4.2 and DNGC 7.2.   What version of LR are you using that you need the DNGC for?

  • Download error tap to retry : why do I get this message when trying to download movies purchased from iTunes? When I tap to retry, it says not at this time.

    When I try to download a movie, it says downloading error, tap to retry. So I tap and it says download not available at this time. Is it about storage?

    Usually when you don't have enough space, your iPad will tell you that.  To be sure, go to Settings > About and see how much space you have left.  If you have more than 5 GB, you likely have enough space.
    I'd try rebooting your iPad and see if that solves the problem.  Press and hold BITH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until you see the Apple Logo, then let go of BOTH buttons and your iPad will restart.

  • ORA-01422 while trying to check out files from Designer 10g

    ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
    Cause: The number specified in exact fetch is less than the rows returned.
    Action: Rewrite the query or change number of rows requested
    This means you have more than one index having T.INDEX_NAME = 'IX_NAME'.
    When you use SELECT..INTO, you need to make sure that only one record will be selected.

    Are you able to download your *.jar files directly from server
    For example say,
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/test/testme.jarIf yes,
    Then problem should be with your *.jnlp file. Check all your *.jar with respect to context location of your url from where you are downloading *.jnlp file

  • .MOV files from iphone - audio but no video in QuickTime

    iphone 3gs, latest DirectX and Quicktime. Downloaded .mov files from iphone don't play correctly in QuickTime. The audio is there but there is no video, just a black screen.
    I tried switching the video to "safe mode". This does show the video, but its terribly choppy and unwatchable.
    I believe something changed recently with an update to itunes or QuickTime. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    How do I get this file to play?
    By installing the proper video codec component if available as advised by application. See the video "Format:" entry in finder "Info", QT "Inspector", or "Property" window. Basically you must have the same playback decoder installed on your second machine as was used to encode the video the first. Sounds as if the component configurations on the two machines are not the same.
