Unable to download files with IE 9, 10 or 11

We have a user who is not able to download files using IE. She's running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. She's able to download using other browsers. This seems to have started when I changed her local rights from Local Admin to Standard user.
I've disabled all plugins, downgraded from IE10 to IE9, upgraded to IE11. We've also tried running her system in Safe Mode with networking still no luck. I also changed her local rights from standard back to Admin.
I've tried most of what was suggested here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/7a8e5897-9708-4506-9efc-8f888efbba21/ie9-and-ie10-cannot-downloadopen-any-files
Any other suggestions?

Hi,
Is there any error message when this system couldn't download file through IE? Is this computer added to Domain?
It would be better to provide a screenshot for this problem.

I'm unable to download files with Firefox 7.0.1 on a Mac Pro w/ 10.6.8. With a recent download attempt I got the following file name: 1guh7mZa.exe.part

Please advise.

Hi,
Thanks for the article. After trying most of the suggestions in it I discovered that FF8 will download fine in safe mode. However, I have tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions individually as well as together (to find the bad one/s) and I still can't download unless I'm in safe mode.
I should also mention that in safe mode the downloads window functions properly. When in regular mode it doesn't even open.
What appears on the desktop has the following type of name: lbf70jar.exe.part
when it should be a .dmg extension instead.
I think I need to troubleshoot my profile folder, but I'm not sure how to proceed efficiently. Please advise.
Thanks,

HT201413 I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website. I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it. I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file. Any ideas?

I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website. I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it. I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file. I have downloaded apps before with no problems. This is the first music download I have purchased on my ipad2. Maybe it has something to do with the security on the email I received from the artist containing the download. I have the latest iTunes OS and apple iPad 2. O.S. Any ideas on what to do?

You can't download music via Safari on the iPad - you will need to download it on your computer, add it to your computer's iTunes, and then sync it to the iPad.

Unable to download file from FileDownload UI Element - Java Web Dynpro

Hello Experts,
I am facing a strange issue.Scenario is:
I created an java web Dynpro application (Please note that it is just a standalone WD app, not integrated in portal) with just one FileUpload UI Element ,one FileDownload UI element and one button (for triggering an action).
I browse a file (e.g. text,pdf,doc etc.) and click on button. It uploads the file and when I click on download, there are two cases:
1) Simply click on download does not downloads the file and shows error: "Unable to download <file name> from <server name>. Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." Though it is opening the file,showing the content.
2) I opened that portal URL in a new tab in same session and logged in with a portal user. Now if I click on download link of same WD app opened in different tab of same session, it downloads the file without any error.
I am using portal 7.0
Can somebody point what's going wrong with case 1?
Helpful pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kirtiman

Hi Sid,
I did not gave any authentication of WD app as it is anonymous app. There is no parameter set in application properties.
As I run the app, it is showing the initial screen with UI elemtns and till upload works fine,.It has to be an anonymous app, so cannot ask for credential from user.
Thanks
Kirtiman

How to download file with Save As dialog

I am trying to download files with a Save As dialog, according to Jason Hunter's instructions in Jave Enterprise Best Practices.
String filename = "content.txt";
// set the headers
res.setContentType( "application/x-download" );
res.setHeader( "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
// send the file
OutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
returnFile( filename, out);
The file content.txt is in the root directory of my webapp. But I get this stack:

The root of the webservers changes from server to server and
sometimes it depends on the path you run webserver exe.
The best i have found to overcome this kind of problems is by
using getResourceAstream() method which basically looks at classpath locations only, but still this has some problems like it should kept at the
specified classpath becoz the getResourceAsStrem() method is not static
method and it always associated with the class object and the file
accessing also should be in the same package/classpath.
by using getResourceastream you cannot look at other places (except classpaths)
and this should be used only if you looking for .properites definitions.
the Second best method is
see you have a file called "context.txt" right
before you create a file, first create a directory at the root, let say
"\tmp"
and then create a file \tmp\context.txt
and then open an output stream to it either using fileoutputstreamm...
and then write all output content to servlet/client output stream.
this will be the best becoz you are specifying the "\" the root
and this is common for all operating systems and definitely it will create at the root directory either serverroot or harddiskdrives root
so you will never missout and the exceptin will also not comes along the way
cheers..
if you get new thing , let me know
bye

Unable to share files with Windows

I have followed the instructions on my iMac to a "T", but am unable to share files with the wireless laptop on my network. The ethernet-wired pc can see the iMac fine and does not have to use a password to view the shared files. I must be doing something wrong with passwords - can someone please help? Thanks!

G'day v3ofushere,
You may need to provide a little more information so that we can assist you!
What version of Windows are you running on the other machines? XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1? EDIT: Scratch that - I just saw that it is a Windows 7 PC from the subject!!! (DOH!).
Are your Windows computers on a domain, or are they running as a WORKGROUP?
When you say that you can't connect to the network, does this mean that you are having trouble connecting to file shares?
What are you seeing when you attempt to connect? Any error messages? Or is it simply failing to accept the login credentials and shaking the dialog box at you?
Cheers,
Rodney

Firefox 3 cannot download files with white space in the filename

When opening attachments in e-mail Firefox is unable to handle files with white space in the name. This is not the same as the white space file name truncation problem documented on this site (where file names with white space are truncated on saving.) The issue is that the browser will prompt to allow the file to be saved, but it will not prompt to open the file as an option. If I rename the file to remove white space then I do receive the "Open with..." dialog box. I verified that Firefox 2 did not have this problem and I can open attachments with white space in the file names just fine using that version of the browser (2.0.0.20).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Upgraded to version 3

When a user clicks on an attachment with spaces, the filename is truncated to the first whitespace. While IE, Chrome & Safari handle this, Firefox refuses to accept mime headers with unquoted filename parameters. According to Firefox's bugzilla/knowledgebase, Firefox's behavior is the correct behavior and it's a problem with most webservers or web applications. This problem can be easily corrected by surrounding the filename parameter with double quotes.
Eg.
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");

UCCX 8.0 CAD: Can you disable auto update? Error: "unable to download file" Could not open request.

I have a UCCX 8.0 (2) Installed.
Users here have limited access via proxy. Now everytime i try to run the CAD or CSD, i get the error:
"unable to download file" Could not open request.
It seems to want to install or check for an update.
The work around i have found is to go to the CAD directory and change the update.exe filename
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\CAD\bin\update.exe
i dont want to have to do this for every user as i possibly want the update.
Is there a way to allow or bypass proxy on CAD?
Regards
J

I had this problem before - to resolve it I disabled the proxy in internet explorer settings.
You'll need to make sure the CAD version matches your UCCX server version. Otherwise you may run in to issues.

I saved all of my graduate school ppts to idisk- mobileme, on my macbook. I was unable to download Lion with this computer. I have now lost all my ppts. Is there anyway these can be retrieved now?

Sorry.
They've been deleted since the end of iDisk and Mobile Me.
Only last hope is if you had turned on synching to create a "local" iDisk folder on your machine.

Why does my windows phone say it is unable to download file type when trying to install firefox browser?

I have no restrictions on phone. I tried to be safe and use security features like... Safe search,cookie block and such. However it keeps saying unable to download file type when I try and install any of the up to date browsers. This is interesting to say the least. Because my browser is already using the most up to date version. I have internet explorer using a windows 8 nokia

hello, the mobile version of firefox isn't available on the windows phone platform: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device#w_other-operating-systems|Will Firefox work on my mobile device?]
there have been technical and legal hurdles in the app store originally which discouraged mozilla from starting any developments in this direction. i don't know about the current situation, but since mozilla is now focusing its energies on creating firefox os as open source web-based platform, i doubt that you will see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...

How can I upload and download files with uiXML?

I want to implement upload and download files with uiXML. In some previouse topic I got answare to look in AbstractPageBroker class in JavaDOC. I did it but this is a very-very little resolution description for this problem. I think for developers YOU (UIX Team) must in very quick time to put some examples on the NET because this is a nice technology but with adecvate samplase and developers guide it will be dead very soon. I digging this forum for information. I see many many people have same problems about this technology. They like it and want to use and try but documentation is very very poor.
WE WANT EXAMPLES and separate forum for UIX. I think it deserve this.
If You have any more detailed documentation would be nice to put on the net. I have uixdemo.zip file but this is in very early fase of development. I downloaded it before fwe months. And now I can't find it anymore on youre site. What happend?

Attila -
I went back and re-read the JavaDoc for AbstractPageBroker and MultipartFormItem and put together the following sample PageBroker based on the description from the JavaDoc:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.BajaContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.Page;
import oracle.cabo.share.util.MultipartFormItem;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.xml.UIXPageBroker;
* An extension of UIXPageBroker which stores all uploaded
* files in the temporary directory.
public class UploadingPageBroker extends UIXPageBroker
* Override of AbstractPageBroker.doUploadFile() which saves
* all files to the temporary directory.
protected String doUploadFile(
BajaContext context,
Page page,
MultipartFormItem item) throws IOException
// Get the location of the file to create in the temp directory.
// Of course a real application probably wouldn't upload files to
// the temp directory - just using this contrived example to
// demonstrate basic uploading support.
File file = _getFile(context, item);
if (file != null)
// Create a FileOutputStream. Of course, a real application would
// probably want to buffer the output
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
// Write out the file
item.writeFile(out);
// Close up the output stream
out.close();
// We can return a value here to add to the PageEvent
// if so desired.
return null;
// Gets the File for the item that we are uploading
private File _getFile(
BajaContext context,
MultipartFormItem item
// Get the file name
String name = item.getFilename();
// If we don't have a file, bail...
if (name == null)
return null;
// Get the path to the temporary directory
File dir = _getTempDir();
// Return the File object
return new File(dir, name);
// Returns the path to the temprary directory
private File _getTempDir()
// Get the temporary directory from the ServletContext
ServletConfig sConfig = getServlet().getServletConfig();
ServletContext sContext = sConfig.getServletContext();
return (File)sContext.getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
In this sample, each uploaded file is simply saved in the temporary directory. You'll want to replace the code that creates the FileOutputStream for the uploaded file to use whatever OutputStream makes sense for your application.
BTW - I used the following UIX page to test this out:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller">
<content>
<pageLayout xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui">
<contents>
<form name="uploadForm" usesUpload="true">
<contents>
<fileUpload name="uploadedFile"/>
<submitButton name="upload" text="Upload"/>
</contents>
</form>
</contents>
</pageLayout>
</content>
</page>
Hope this sample helps with the uploading part of your question. I'll see if I can provide a download sample in a later post.

You cannot download files to the iPad via Safari. You download them on your computer and synch them through iTunes.

Downloaded files with ActiveX not displays using Windows 8 and IE 11

We are using ActiveX for downloading file from our server. After downloading ActiveX decrypt downloaded files. ActiveX works fine with all other IE versions but in case of IE 11, when we download the files ActiveX doesn't throw any error, but when we check
the files at downloaded location, it looks like there was no files downloaded. When we the same process again using "IE 11 using "run as Administrator" the downloaded files displays at the downloaded location.
After debugging, We didn't found error like "access denied or path not found or any other error." with or without Administrator mode. but still facing this issue.
When we download file again using "Browse for Folder" it display the previous downloaded folders, but not exists at the actual location.
Your quick reply will highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

at the bottom of the Properties dialog there is a list of allowed sites. compare this with the settings on the Administrators account. The value should be the same as on the user account.
