Unable to download / save

I have Acrobat Reader 9, and when I attempt to download a PDF document, I am unable to save it. When I click on "Save as ...", absolutely nothing happens. I can't find any setting that I have changed. Anyone know what the problem areas might be that I can check? Thanks in advance.

When clicking on the floppy disc icon, nothing happens, just like when clicking on the "Save As ..." option. It appears that whoever created or posted this series of files for download (subscription download), they used a different method of saving or posting the files. Normally when we would click on the title link, the display box would open and ask if we wanted to "open" or "save" the file. These particular files don't do that. When the title is clicked, the file opens in a web browser, and none of the save options works. We did eventually discover that if we right-clicked on the title link, we could download the file, with the only problem being that each of the multiple downloads happens to have the same file name, so we really had to watch to make sure we changed it.
Thanks for your help though. I'm not sure why they did it this way, but .....

Unable to download/save a pdf doc from Adobe Acrobat Reader (in IE8 or IE9)

I can open the pdf doc, but the button that I would normally click to download the doc to my computer is not highlighted. I tried upgrading from IE8 to IE9, but still cannot download. Thanks for any help!

Actually, I had similar issue, but it was FM. Occasionally, when I did a Save as PDF or Save as with HTML, FM went on for a few moment then stoped saving with an error message along the line: Cannot create <some file name>... It kept doing the same thing for several tries until I deleted the previously generated files, then all would be well for a while, until the next time... I don't know it had anything to do with the generated files (PDF or HTML) being opened on a web-browser at the moment. Yet, as I remembered prior to that and verified afterward, in those times that went without such error, those files were being opened as well. Thanks!

I am unable to download: Media downloader. How can I save my tiff files?

Hi Barb,
To investigate this we would have to look at the error logs -
Start your download and once it gets completed please send us the Log.txt file from the locations listed.
WIN : C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.px.Downloader.<some-num ber>\Local Store\
MAC : /users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.px.Downloader.<some-n umber>/Local Store/
You can email me the log.txt file at [email protected]
Thanks,

I am unable to download certain PDFs from a website

My job requires me to log on to a secure website and click on links to download pdf files. When I click on the links, the firefox opens a new tab, but that tab is blank. When I "right click" on the link and select "save link as" from the menu, the file is recognized as a php file and not pdf and I am unable to download it in a readable form. I have tried opening these files in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari and none of them work. However, the files download for other people with the same version of Mac as me without a problem.
I have tried changing the preference for PDF to Adobe Reader in the preference>application window as suggested by other online forums and this does not help.
I am able to download these same files from an email attachment which has been the temporary solution. Other pdf links from other websites don't download, but pop-up in a tab of the browser and I am able to view them. The IT guy said that he made the file so that it could only be downloaded for security reasons. I don't know if this is a reason why I am having problems with this particular kind of pdf, but not others. However, I'm not sure why I am having the problem, but not other people.
I have a MacBook Pro version 10.6.8 and I have firefox 21.0. My Adobe Reader is 11.0.03.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button on PDF Viewer (what is this?). You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

Unable to download pdf file in windows 8.1

After upgrading to windows 8.1, i have been unable to download pdf files sent via yahoo email, IE11 and Adobe Reader 11. Did not have this problem before with windows 8. I click on the pdf attachment, NOrton says that the file is safe but nothing happens. Am unable to save the file to my computer either. Have already reloaded Adobe Reader repeatedly, drivers for window 8.1 associated with the hardware on my system, newest version of internet explorer,, upgraded drivers for my Canon printer and still no downloads!!!
Can anybody help? Microsoft community unable to give anymore suggestions.

Wrong forum (this is Digital Editions), but ...
I find .pdf files often won't launch properly on my Win8.1. It starts the process but it doesn't do the right thing.
Try making sure you don't have any copies of Reader working (AcroRd32.exe on my 32 bit Win 8.1).
Start a copy from the start screen (or start menu if you've set one up) BEFORE you try to access the file.
Now try to do the download or open it from the downloads directory.
I find that way the file will open properly.

Unable to download itunes using firefox on windows 7

I'm using windows 7 and when I click the download link on http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ it brings up the prompt to save and I click save but there is no download performed - the file does not exist and is not listed in the "Downloads" drop down option.
Apple assumes it's downloaded http://www.apple.com/confirm/itunes/thankyou.html and states "Now that you’ve downloaded iTunes, you’re just a few steps away from starting a digital entertainment collection and enjoying it on your Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, or iPod."
HELLO the download did not occur.
Most site will offer a link that states - if your download did not begin click here and have a means to start it again but not Apple they are sure it's done.
Any one out there know what's wrong with the download page or a way to get iTunes from another source on apple's site?
-edit moments later
That "thankyou.html" page loading before the end of me clicking save and selecting where it's saving was causing the download to not initiate properly
I saved it as quickly as I could and surprisingly the download succeeded to begin.
Apple website developers should be notified of that error/behavior so it can be fixed - simply don't load the thankyou.html page until the install is completed maybe

See my response in the I am unable to download iTunes with Windows XP using firefox? I am told it's a binary file and tells me to "save" it. Once downloaded it does not open up. Anyone have any ideas why? thread.

Unable to download songs or update Podcasts

I have been using iTunes now for a few years and not experienced any real difficulties until now and have realised that it is very difficult to get support from Apple for the application itself.
The Fault
I am logged into iTunes using my iTunes id and trying to update my podcasts, download a new podcast or download a single (eg: the free single of the week) however iTunes fails to download the items.
The Symptoms
If I click "Get Song" to download a track and confirm I want the track by entering my password for my iTunes account, the application throws up the error below...
"Purchase of this item is not currently available
This item is being modified. Please try again later"
Clicking OK returns me back to the song that I was trying to download.
If I want to update or download a new podcast a small icon with an exclamation mark appears next to the podcast which was selected to download (either the update or new podcast).
On clicking on this exclamation mark the following message appears...
"There was a problem downloading "Mills:Making Laura cry. 18th Jan 07.". The required folder cannot be found.
Please check that the url is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
Clicking OK on this returns me to the podcasts list where I am trying to update a podcast.
What I have already tried
Firstly I tried numerous different podcasts to make sure it simply wasn't the one I was trying to update or download. All are affected.
I have allowed a couple of days before trying to update or download again should there have been a general issue with iTunes or iTunes store.
I have removed the podcast from iTunes and tried to download it again.
I have ran a repair on iTunes.
I have performed a windows restore to a previous date when a podcast did update.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes with a fresh download from the apple site.
I have looked through all the settings within iTunes and can see no obvious setting which could be causing an issue.
I do have a working internet connection which iTunes has confirmed is working when I performed the iTunes network diagnostics from the help menu.
I have shouted at the laptop.
I have threatened my laptop.
I have threatened the iTunes application.
all to no avail!
I'm now really struggling to find a resolution to this.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Try updating your browser to the current release, which can be found [http://getfirefox.com here]. However, if that doesn't work, try read the [[Unable to download or save files]] article.

Unable to download or open files when using firefox in private. Only able to do so in public mode. How do I fix this?

When browsing in private mode, I am unable to download any kind of files. Either from CNET or just a plain flash, the download function doesn't happen. Even if I right click and save as, nothing happens. I have to go back into normal mode to get the job done. It wasn't like this before, so how do I fix it?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Unable to download large videos taken with my 4S phone. 1-3G

I have taken several videos of my boys sports, but find myself unable to download the videos to my computer or portable hard drive. Videos were taken with my IPhone and are 3-7 minutes long. Up to 3gig of memory on just one video.
Trying to download to a Windows HP computer. When plugging in the phone to sync...it will go for 30 min and then state. (ITunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer) I have tried multiple times, rebooted, made sure everything is up to date.
When opening the files up like a camera where you can drag or tried copy and paste the files will attempt to save. Sometimes the files looks saved but there is ZERO Mb saved, just the file name. Other time I was able to get a file save, but it will not play, just a very fragmented video that looks like pictures taken every 30 seconds.
Please help

Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this. I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

Unable to download Enterprise Preview with Akamai Download Client

Hi,
I am unable to download the Enterprise Preview (x64) British English with the Akamai client. I keep getting "Cannt save in this location, please try another".
I have verified the usual stuff. User rights, folder redirection. I even created a Temp folder on the C drive, verified that there was enough space and that Everyone had Full access rights to it, but no luck.
The OS I am running is Windows 8.1 in an Enterprise Environment. I have successfully downloaded software with Akamai before, but it keeps failing on Microsoft stuff.
Can someone please provide me with direct download links for the ISO of the latest technical preview of Windows 10 with English GB language, clean install?

Figures. I searched for hours yesterday without luck, and lo and behold, today it pops up:
http://care.dlservice.microsoft.com/dl/download/2/4/1/241BC554-B5F7-4E72-9115-DC069F1139F6/NovFlightDLC/9879.0.141103-1722.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_en-gb.ISO
If you have this issue but need the 32bit or the US version, change gb to us for languages and x64 to x86 for 32bit.

Now i am unable to download any link file or torrent file or any link or any song , it is simply not responding

before a month i used to download a song or any thing which supports DAP or the regular download by firefox, but now i am unable to download even a torrent file . while attempting it is simply not responding. so that now i am using safari, or some other browser. i twice re - installed the programme.

Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

If you have an old ID in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, to change it you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (you should need to verify the old account). Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Unable to download Pdf page to desktop/file

Vista SP2
Adobe 9 Ver 9.2.0
IE 8
I AM able to download my Gas Bill Statement in PDF from my provider and and read it.
When i click the Download to File icon of the PDF gas statement (next to the print icon) nothing happens !
I AM able to Print a copy on my printer ok.
Note: I AM able to download to desktop/file all other statements from all my other service providers without any problem.
When i contacted my Gas Provider with this problem they informed me that they were able to download my statement on two different computers in their offices with no problems stating the problem must be with me !!
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe 9 twice with no effect.
Can you advise as to why i cannot download the GAS PDF statement page to my files but i can evey other service provider PDF statement ?

"Save Target as" is not available to me....its lettering is a very light pale colour....whereas Save Picture is a dark colour like this...and that is the one i clicked in error as you suggested !
Why am i unable to activate "Save Target"...what controls this ?
Dont understand "hover the mouse...." as when i hover the mouse over " View Statemant" you previously asked me to "Save" is on a Briish Gas web page, which does take me to the PDF statement (with a right click)t but once there when i click the Save ti file icon nothing happens.
I really dont want to use an unknown browser when everything else on my computer requiring PDF works ok..
