Weird Downloading problem

Whenever I try to download something, anything at all on safari, it does not download, it goes to a download page but then goes back to the page with the "click here to download" link. This happens on every single page I try to download things, the only way is to use software update or download from another computer then transfer. Is there some setting or firewall thing going on? I'm not sure. The problem always happens, home or at school. I'm not sure what's goin on.

Keith,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds as if your files are actually downloading in the background. Go to: 'Window' > 'Downloads' to open the download progress window to check. If you need to locate where the files are on your mac, go to: 'Safari' > 'Preferences' > 'General' > and check where 'Save downloaded files to:' points to.
Also, try and hold the 'control' key for more options when you click to download files. ¦¬î MadMacs

Safari 2.0.1 - Weird download problems and wrong icons

Since updating Safari to 2.0.1 I cannot download and install programms anymore. I tried downloading the current version of Cyberduck:
http://cyberduck.ch/Cyberduck-2.5.dmg
First the download seemed to go fine, but when I copied the programm into the applications folder, it had the wrong icon (a folder icon, whereas it should normally have that duck icon) and it did not load at all. Got some error message that the file was corrupt. So I tried to download the program once more, but this time the .dmg download icon was a Flash icon, the next time it was something else... in any case the .dmg would not unpack at all. When I trashed it and tried to delete the Trash I got an error message saying that some file in there was still running. Save delete finally emptied the trash.
I then tried to download and install another programm ( a .zip file this time) and again it did not unpack.
Somewhen I realized that a lot of the icons in the finder looked blurry or simply were the wrong ones. Rebooting seemed to help at first, but when I tried to download a programm again, all went bezerk again.
Strange enough Firefox seems to have the same problems now suddenly. I'm really lost. I'm pretty new to Macs. Help much appreciated.
Cheers, Pädy

Hello Pady
You use the cd only when you need to repair the Disk also known as Disc repair. Please read the Directives in the posts carefully , so that you understand them & then apply.
To run Repair Disk permissions you go.> Utilites>Disk Utility pick your Hard Drive & pick Repair Disk Permissions, you can get info after @ the tool bar at the Info button there will be messages when it runs in the window on the Utility. Really though reread the links so that you understand. Also read as much as you can hear at Discussion, that is what I do.
Also make sure that when you post you go to the most pertinent, place to post, where you will get the most attention.
I need to get to sleep.
if you have Qs post.

ITunes podcast downloading problem. "Authorization is required to access" error message.

I've been subsribing to a podcast through iTunes for years with no problems, but today I get the error message:
"There was a problem downloading (podcast name). Authorization is required to access (url feed)"
Its a BBC podcast and I now get the same error message for all the other BBC podcasts that I subscribe to. I also cant play or download any BBC podcasts from the iTunes Store. All other podcasts by all other providers are fine.
Weirdly this problem seems to be limited to the Macbook Pro as the iMac on the same network can access the problem podcasts with no hassle.
A few web searches have turned up very little, any ideas in Apple Communities-land!

Hey Roger and thanks for your amazingly quick response.
I did a quick confirm: it doesn't seem to work on any Windows machines I can get my hands on, so it isn't something specific to me (whew!). It definitely DOES work on any Mac I can get my hands on (which you also confirmed - thanks).
That link, the feedproxy.google.com one, works fine on Windows and Mac alike. I very much imagine that someone else is using FeedBurner and while I'm not huge into podcasts, there are a lot of others who are. This issue would've come up if it were something like that. Either way: I can access that link (and thus the content) just fine on any machine I'm on.
So, what you're saying is to ditch FeedBurner entirely and just submit the raw feed to iTunes. That sounds good (and, if I want more indepth statistics later, I'll cross that bridge then)...but I'm afraid I'm not sure how to do that. I've already submitted the FeedBurner feed to iTunes and I'm not sure how I'd go about changing it. Would I simply ask iTunes to delete the old feed and more or less resubmit?
Thanks for the help about the artwork. The individual files may very well be missing the metadata, as when I asked the guy doing that if he had included the artwork, he indicated he was rather confused. I'll test that out in a bit. The feed artwork, however, I must admit ignorance about. Where might I be able to change that? I'm using WordPress and...PowerPress/BluBrry (or whatever it's referred to).
Thanks again for being so incredibly helpful with all this. And so timely, too.

IPhone app store downloading problem

I have iPhone app store downloading problem (iOS 5). I could not download or update any software successfully from yesterday. Every app shows "waiting for download" but nothing happen for two days. It seems my app store does not connect to server. I use same account in my iPad, but it works normal. So, what happen to my iPhone? Please help me!

Hold the home button and lock button for 10 seconds to reboot the iPhone.

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Rental movie download problems

I
I trie to download a movie ,it says it has downloaded buy won't let me play it

I have been having downloading problems for the last few days and despite all the tricky advice. iTunes jut can't solve the problem.
These are some of the actions taken:-
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Turn off Anti Virus (didn't like that one!) Then uninstall anti virus!!!!!! No!!!
Change preferences in iTunes
Update iTunes...etc etc etc etc etc! ZIP!
Think I will go back to Big Pond Movies as is a lot easier and less stressful.
Do I Tunes think everyone has telescopic eyesight? The text is so small (just like all their printed matter) have to use a magnifying glass.
As you can detect, I am less than happy.

** 6i Download problems - Product Management speaks **

Firstly on behalf of the 6i Product Management team let me appologise for the problems you have been experiencing with Technet and specifically with downloading 6i.
I watch this forum and answer questions time permitting whenever I can, this forum (along with comp.databases.oracle.tools and ODTUG) are monitored by Product Management.
You need to understand that Oracle is a very big company and that getting all the little parts to work seamlessly together sometimes doesn't work as well as it should, so please be assured that Tools PM is working as hard and as fast as it can to ensure that 6i is available for you to download.
I have made enquiries today to find out what is happening at Technet. This is a division of Marketing based out of the US HQ, the PM teams have no responsibility for the management or maintenance of this site, we merely monitor mail lists and post our new software when complete.
I am waiting for information on the action plan to resolve the performance and download problems being experienced by the Developer community.
In response to some of the comments posted about downloading
It is obvious that 6i has been out for a WHILEActually this is not true, it has been available for download for a while, but not orderable..
Product Release Point Dates:
(1)
Release to MFG - 24-MAR-00 (This date is used by engineering and is the start of the 16-week period for the 1st patchset.) THE PRODUCT IS NOT ORDERABLE YET.
(2)
Release to PRG - 14-APR-00 (This is the M&D hand-off date for the Tools CD Pack.) THE PRODUCT IS NOT ORDERABLE YET.
(3)
Between 6:00PM PST and midnight 27-APR-00 - R6i, Windows, was added to the Oracle Store and officially orderable.
I have seen many posted messages, iTARS, etc referencing the availability of downloading forms updates, availablity of getting patchesAs you will see from the information above, this is not possible, patch one for 6i will not be released until 16 weeks after 24-MAR-2000
How much do we have to pay and who do we have to kiss to get a freakin update from Oracle? As the author of this comment has a support contract, they will know that you do not automatically get updates for products for which you hold licences. You merely need to order the latest version of the CD. Your support Account Manager will be able to advise you how to do this.
Once again, please be assured that we value your time, effort and feedback and that we do watch this forum with great interest.
I hope you found this information useful.

Senior Product Manager
Oracle Enterprise Internet Tools

As an update on the OTN performance problem I talked about earlier, I got some info from Global Ops
Customers are trying to download software from ftp.oracle.com, a server managed by the datacenter. The server is actually 2 servers (mirrored), with 1,400 connections (700 per machine). Bottom line is that ftp.oracle.com doesn't have enough connections to support the number of users trying to download Oracle products each day. Approval has been received for a dedicated OC3 pipe to the ftp server; it's believed this will boost the current capacity to 4-5 times what's there today.
Other improvement measures are being investigated.
Whilst this is being resolved, please consider ordering the CD which is free. I have just tested this and it worked for me ;)

Download Problems with K8N Neo4 Platinum Nvidia Ethernet Controller

Just to ask if there is some basic setup for Nvidia network drivers in Windows or in BIOS since I'm having download errors with a DSL connection when i use the Nvidia networking controller, not depending from the OS I'm booting (WinXP Pro SP2 or WinXP pro 64). When I download using the Marvell Yukon controller everything works fine in both operating systems. Additional specs:

Open up the nvidia firewall.
Click on 'Active Armour'
Click on 'Application'
change the setting from 'offloadable' to 'notoffloadable'
This solves the download problem.
Indigian, you are The Man!!!!!
That solved it !!! Thank you very much!

Could someone please advise me what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox downloads "failed". Have reset FF, been through "downloading problems" trouble doc, and uninstalled/reinstalled FF w/o luck. Safari is able to download.

Recently I am unable to download anything in FF. It briefly acts as if downloading, but the file is corrupted and the next to the file in the DL manager it just says "Failed".
I tried Resetting FF. No luck.
Then I tried all the steps in the "downloading problems" support doc. No luck.
I tried with all add-ons disabled. No luck.
In desperation, I searched for "Firefox" and moved two folders called Firefox, the application, and a .plist file to the trash (still there) and redownloaded Firefox and reinstalled. No luck.
If I click on a .pdf it will be be viewable, but it won't download. It's not just .pdfs that fail, it is any file I try and download.

I have the same problem and I also tried a lot of troubleshooting advices without any success.
The problem seems to be with OS X Parental Control turned on and using a other account than the one of the admin.
The user sl-nw found a short-term solutions (changing back to version 31, working like a charm or turning off Parental Control), yet a long-term solution is needed:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1018279
Perhaps Firefox should add a bug fix to their next update.

Slight confusion, methinks.
