When I download files, firefox is adding " .part " to the file name and the file won't open, but if i back the .part out, it opens fine.

Firefox seems to be adding " .part " to the file names of files I downoad. Here's an example:
YuT9iNv8.pdf.part
I cannot open this file because it can't find an application.
If I back out the .part, I get a box asking if I want to change the extension to .pdf I check yes, and everything works fine. It doesn't happen with other browsers (Safai).

I get the error message saying the file could not be downloaded due because there is no enough disk space.
How large is your HD and how much space do you have left?

Downloaded file won't open when password-secured

Since moving from Acrobat 8 to 9, my passworded pdf file will not open once it is downloaded from the server. My file was created as an .xls file in openoffice, then converted to pdf. Password security was then set in Acrobat 9 pro (mac). I works fine when not passworded. Is there something I can do to regain the security functionality? Note: the problem only occurs AFTER uploading to the server; it works as it should on my computer before that.

Thanks - I tried do that but I didn't see any appropriate forum - the choices were too specific. Any chance you could point me to the correct one to deal with this issue?

Downloaded files won't open, and mouse sometimes disappears

Hey there,
I've just been having some rather minor problems with my iBook, and I thought maybe someone could help me out.
First of all, my iBook won't open a lot of applications that I download. It says that it can't find the application to open the programs with. I looked on a few of these forum threads, and it said to download the Stuffit program. I dowloaded the latest version, but when I went to open it, my computer gave me the same answer as it did for all those other apps- that it couldn't find the application to open it up with. I went back and downloaded the previous version of Stuffit, but that had the same result. How can I get files to open on my computer?
Also, sometimes while I'm in Safari, the mouse arrow completely disappears until I either scroll over a picture or click the back/forward arrows. Anyone have any ideas on why this happens? It doesn't really do anything bad, it's just annoying.
Well, thanks for reading this, and have a good day!

Ok, maybe this will lend some insight to the Safari cursor behavior.
I was on the Slashdots' main page. I had not experienced the issue since yesterday.
I proceded to follow this link, opening it in a new tab:
http://www.crn.com/sections/breakingnews/dailyarchives.jhtml?articleId=188701694
When on that page, the cursor would start rapidly switching from a pointer to a hand. I clicked on the tab for Slashdot. Problem gone! I tabbed back to the CRN page in question and reloaded it. Problem is back. To clarify, I did not have to reload the page for the problem to persist, it was just something I tried.
I emptied the cache and reloaded. No change.
I would like to add that this in no way interferes with productivity when working in Safari, it's just really odd is all.
Any ideas?

Downloaded, file won't open. Downloaded again, still won't open.

What can I do to get it to open? Is it a problem with my firewall or what?

some pdf files open just fine, but this particular file (and a few like it) will open the Reader but the reader comes up with an error box that says the file is corrupted or not a compatible file, as shown here:
I get this file from my download folder which gets it from a link in an email (from a trusted site I subscribe to)--been getting this file (a 'zine) for years and never had a problem with it. I think the error coincided with an update/upgrade to the reader a few months ago. Last month's issue didn't work at first, but later when I tried again it opened fine...there are a few other files I get in a similar way which also seem to have a problem. I've tried turning off the Reader security stuff but no joy....

Downloaded files won't open

Mail attachments, downloaded files from safari or chrome, or directly from gmail account won't open. I thought I'd resolve the problem by upgrading to Yosemite, but it still persists. The message I get is "file name" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." It's the same message Gatekeeper will give you if it's programmed to only use apps that have been downloaded from the Apple store, but in my case it's with any downloaded file and any format (pdf, word, ppt, bmp, jpeg, etc.). I've gone through troubleshooting with Apple Support team but they seem to be clueless, too. Meanwhile I am stuck, can't get any work done!!!

Do you have any third party security software installed? That will most definitely be the culprit.
Gate Keeper will warn you when opening anything acquired from the internet that wasn't through the Mac App Store or it's identified developers. You can change this to allow anything, but I would advise against it... because you need to know that you are opening a file that may be suspect.
System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Unlock and set it to Anywhere if you want to leave your system wide open. The second setting it the default setting (and best setting).
You should still be able to open a file without changing these settings by holding down the control key as you click on the file then select open. It will prompt you again to confirm that you want to open the file. From then on, that file will no longer be blocked.
Again, if you installed any third party software that is designed to perform a similar function, it will likely override anything OS X is doing. Which is why you don't want to use said software in the first place.

When i download files they wont open especially PDF files

whenever i download documents it downloads then when i click to open them nothing happens

Thanks Eric, Most files i download is from a incident management application developed from my employer. i use that all day long. I think you are partially correct, The application that i use may be creating these subfolders and using to put files into that.
I will update this thread if i see that some other standard applications like safari / Mail are downloading into subfolders.
Is some one else facing this issue??

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
Here is what I did,
Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

When I download videos (from an external hard drive), they appear to be downloaded (file sizes look correct) but they all stop playing a few minutes in!

When I download videos (from an external hard drive), they appear to be downloaded (file sizes look correct) but they all stop playing a few minutes in!

Try the following in the terminal
ls -alh filename
du -chs filename
And what happens if you play the files directly of the external drive?

When i download files , they go into subfolders such as "000000000002" within downloads, why is this behaviour and is this a bug?

HELP! Files won't open and previously had Firefox icon instead of DW icons! Leap Year thing?

Hi! I went to update my website, which I do every night before the first day of every month and all the files had a FIrefox icon instead of the usual Dreamweaver one. I have shut down, reinstalled DW MX 2004 but the files still do not open. The icons have now changed to DW but they are not opening with right click, opening from Applications folder, double clicking the file, from get info and open with DW. I am stumped. HELP! Need to update for March 1st.
Is it something to do with Leap Year 29th Feb? Checked the clock in preferences but can't see how this affects it.
Firefox is always updated but the latest version does not seem to be as efficient as previous upgrades. We installed Chrome as well. Do they interfere with each other?

Hi Ken
I wish the 7.1 updater download had helped but it didn¹t. All the files
were backed up before the installation, which went fine.
Mac 10.5.8
We used Disc Warrior to defrag the hard drive, which did not make a
difference.
We recently started using Chrome, so now have 3 browsers in the dock,
Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Do they interfere in any way with each other?
The files, which I hadn¹t touched for a month as I update on a monthly
basis, initially had the Firefox icon.

I am not late with updating the site, which is about New Zealand culture,
month by month (www.englishteacher.co.nz). Probably only the third time I
have been late since 2005. Not a huge amount of traffic, ~300 a month and
free access to content but I would like to solve this problem.
Could a reciprocal link have caused a problem?
At my wits end.
I really appreciate the help though.

Windows or MAC?

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
