Web links open black page and no file is downloaded

Problem started under Lion, and continues under Mountain Lion: When I click on a Download link, the path of the file displays in the address field and the page goes black, but no file is downloaded. On links that allow it (not from the Flash Player, Skype, Mozilla, or Chrome download pages, for example), I can control-click to download a file. Under the Downloads button, if you erase the list, the button disappears. Before I had tried to download via control-click, that button wouldn't appear, not even among the toolbar customization options. I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, re-installed Mountain Lion, to no effect. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  • My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

    My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

    Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

  • After I updated Firefox to 33.1, I haven't been able to use it. I open it and it tries to open a page and crashes immediately. I have already tried to reinstall

    I updated Firefox to 33.1 like a dutiful Firefox user. Since then, I haven't been able to successfully use Firefox. It tries to open a page and crashes immediately. I can't access any Mozilla support through Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and redownloaded Firefox multiple times in an effort to solve the problem. I always send the Crash report but it seems to do nothing to solve the issue.

    We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
    #'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
    #Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • Creating links to Word, PDF and Powerpoint files

    I need advice on how to create links to Word, Powerpoint and PDF files in my Captivate project.  How do I also make sure that when my file is published, those links can be accessed by the reader.  I am new to this process.  Thanks!

    Yes. You can place the linked file in your zipped folder. Here is a recommended workflow.
    1. Add a button (Smartshape or regular button) to the slide.
    2. Assign the Open File or URL action to the button. In the URL field, specify the file name (say, Sample.PPTX) which you want to link to.
    3. Click the down arrow button next to the URL field and select New so that the file launches in a new window.
    4. Save and publish your project to a folder.
    5. Go to the published folder and place the linked Sample.pptx file in the folder.
    6. Zip the published folder.
    Absolute Path is where you give the full path of the file's location including the folder structure. For example, C:\<UserName>\Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects\Sample.pptx. If you use this, then you have to maintain the same folder structure in the published folder as well, which is impractical.
    Relative Path, in this case, is where you just give the file name and make sure that the file is in the published folder. 
    Just Google and you will find several examples of absolute and relative paths. You will even see that you can define sub folders if required.

    I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

    Hi... Sorry for delay. I've been away working.
    I have just completed another software update as prompted again, and I'm still having problems.
    Nearly all my software won't open. It doesn't matter if it's relatively old software I brought over from my last Mac or new software I've purchased from the App store within the last year or two. It always says whatever software I'm trying to open has "quit unexpectedly"
    My Mail, App store, Stickies and Safari seem to work, but most other things won't.
    I've run a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions, but this message appears... Maybe it is a clue to the problem if you understand these things:
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Please advise...
    Best wishes

    Dear Rave,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Yes, I tried several times and got the same results.
    Does it have anything to do with the Options/Applications used in Firefox?

    How to open a Excel and Doc file inside the AIR application.  I have opened the PDF file inside the AIR application.  But i got stuck in opening the Exce and Doc file.  Please help me in this issue.

    AIR does not support this inherently. However, you could write code to parse these file formats. For example, the following is an ActionScript 3.0 library for reading and writing Excel files:

  • Batch script to open multiple excel and doc files

    Hi Everyone,
    Could anybody please provide a batch script to open multiple excel and doc files at a time.
    Appreciate ur quick response.
    Regards,

    You have several scripting choices within Windows. At a basic level you've got "batch files" - which run a series of command interpreter commands, and have a file extension of .BAT or .CMD. If you just wanted to open a list of Word documents, then assuming that the path to Word is correct (something like this below) you could list these in a file with a .BAT extension and run this (e.g. double click on it):
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File1.DOC"
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File2.DOC"
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File3.DOC"
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File1.XLS"
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File2.XLS"
    Another script language is VBScript, which was the example I gave. VBScript is available on most Windows platforms and can be run from a command prompt or within Windows. If you save the text I gave you above to a file with a .VBS extension you can double-click to run it (Windows) or open a command prompt and type CSCRIPT MyVBScript.VBS (assuming that's the name of the your .VBS file).
    Other script languages are available to achieve the same thing, including Powershell, however you'd need to have Powershell available on your PC.

  • Problem in opening of word and excell files downloaded from email attachment in MS office professional 2013 paper licence

    I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files.  They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
    However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
    Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
    Very strange.
    Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??
