Why do I have to use safari to download attachments from my emails in mavericks?

I would like to download attachments from my email using a different internet browser. I like to use firefox but it seems if you recently upgraded to Mavericks. You may only download attachments with safari. Maybe firefox needs an update or apple really wants us to try the new safari (What I think) which is annoying to contantly learn new browsers because they have a new one released. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Firefox is working for me with Mavericks just as it was working with Mountain Lion. But I use POP mail and Thunderbird, not webmail.  So I cannot test what you are trying to do, download attachments.

  • I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. Why?

    I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
    Thank you.

    Might be a corrupted database ...
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Why do i have to use nextLine() when there is an InputMismatchException

    I dont understand why do i have to use this line of code to avoid an infinite loop here...help appreciated.
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.InputMismatchException;
    public class InputTest {
         public static void main(String [] args){
         Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
         int n = 0;
         while(true){
              try{
                   System.out.println("Input a number:");
                   n = in.nextInt();
                   break;
              }catch(InputMismatchException exc){
                   System.out.println("Error, non-valid input.");
                   //in.nextLine(); <--If i use this line of code it doesn't get into an infinite loop
                             System.out.println("Integer read is: " + n);
    }

    When i run the program if i input something that triggers the exception, it infinitely loops through the question and the catch method block outputs, weirdest thing of all is that i can't even input again after the exception is thrown, but with nextLine() it avoids that, but i still dont understand why do i have to use nextLine().Exactly what I said.
    You enter "A". The exception is thrown. The "A" is not consumed. It calls nextInt on "A" again... and again... and again...
    If you do nextLine, the "A" and the newline are consumed.
    Even on good input, I don't think nextInt consumes the EOL.

  • HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer

    Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?

    With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
    Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it.  However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security.  The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password.  However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
    To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected.  So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)!

  • Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

    File Sharing failed between my Mavericks iMacs.  The console logs showed that the target iMac saw the ntlmv2 protocol as unknown to the kdc.  I fixed it by enabling Windows File Sharing on the target Mavericks iMac.  I had tried disabling SMB on both iMacs and leaving AFP on, but then nothing happened when I tried to connect.  Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

    When you enable file sharing you need to have either SMB (Windows) or AFP (historically Apple-native) file sharing checked. The default in Mavericks is SMB, and not AFP.
    If you uncheck both, then the system will turn off file sharing. Apple supports the use of both SMB and AFP connections in Mavericks, so with only AFP enabled you should have been able to establish a connection, but there could be a small bug or configuration-specific snafu that you're encountering.
    With AFP enabled only, try pressing Command-K in the Finder to open the Connect To Server dialogue, and in here enter the address to the system using afp:// as the protocol, such as the following (the name can be looked up in the Sharing system preferences):
    afp://my_imac.local

    I did a little digging and there's a new option in iOS 8 letting you choose Download apps using the cellular network, which you turn on.  It further says "Downloading apps over the cellular network may incur carrier charges.  Newsstand apps update only over Wifi."
    There is no mention of app size, which can download over cellular.
    Good catch!

    If you have any questions about your account in particular rather than questions about why something is the way it is, it would be better to contact itunes support at expresslane.apple.com than to talk to us about it. we can't tell you specific information about your account, only how things work in general

  • Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

    It should unzip if you double-cick.
    What are you seeing happen when you do that?
    Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

    Using hardware acceleration means that Firefox uses the GPU instead of the CPU to do some (image) manipulations and you may not notice any effect in Firefox if you disable hardware acceleration.<br />

  • Why do we have to use SwingUtilities.invokeLater() to update UI status?

    I just don't understand very well why we have to use SwingUtilities.invokeLater() to update UI status. Why not just new a thread in actionPerformed() method and do time consuming tasks in this thread and update UI status in it? Some tutorials say it is not safe to update UI status not in Event Dispatch Thread, I don't understand, why is it not safe? Can anyone provide a scenario for this? I just write an example, a button and a progressbar, click button, progressbar keeps updating value. I just create a new thread to do this, don't find any issue. Thanks.

  • Why do I have to use SELECT INTO clause in a Stored Proc ?

    Hi,
    I'm new to oracle. I've bought Oracle Database 10g SQL and Oracle Database 10 A beginner's Guide, two books from Oracle press but I can't find any answer for that.
    Why when I'm writing a Stored Procedure with a SELECT statement do I have to use an INTO clause ?? And why when the select returns more than one row do I have to use a cursor ? By the way is this the only way to return more than one row from a stored procedure ?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Regards.
    S. Nunes

    Sounds like you may have some experience with other databases (SQL Server, maybe?) which allow you to create stored procedures which implicitly return result sets simply by embedding select statements.
    In Oracle, the correct way to do this is using ref cursors.
    See the following link for a good explanation:
