Will "File Save As" ever work properly in Safari?

Even though I've been a long-time Safari user (with occasional dalliances with Firefox) this has always been a personal bugbear...
In general, I like the way that Safari will play an mp3 file in the browser window. And then I have a choice... if there's a link to an mp3, I can right-click or ctrl-click and select "download file as". Fine.
But...
If the mp3 was launched via another app (clicking a link in Mail, for example) I can only play it in the browser window. I can't save it, because File > Save As simply results in a meaningless 4KB file landing on my desktop. Even worse, that option seems to be greyed out on Safari 4 Final.
This has always been the case with Safari, but it works fine on Firefox. Why?

Safari Menu Bar > Window > Open the Activity window and the Download window. Copy the MP3 that is downloading (playing) in the Activity window and paste into the Download window. Videos too.

  • Will dynamic global hostnames ever work properly again?

    AEBS firmware 7.4.1 broke dynamic dns updating. Any attempt to set it up now simply results in TSIG errors.
    7.4.2 didn't fix it.
    Has anyone gotten signed dynamic DNS updates working on recent firmware revs of the AEBS?
    Will this feature ever work properly again???

    Hi berkeleywalker,
    I understand your discontent. I can assure you that all software updates developed by the manufacturer are intended to make your phone work better. Since you have done a Factory Reset and your phone continues to experience performance issues after you installed your applications, I recommend running your phone in Safe Mode for a while to ensure that no third party application conflicts exist. If your phone works properly in Safe Mode then a third party application conflict is causing your phone to malfunction and the conflicting application must be identified and removed from your phone.
    There is no easy way to identify a conflicting 3rd party application, the only way is to remove all applications and add one by one and test until the conflicting app is identified and then removed for good.

  • Why is Google no longer working properly in Safari?

    I have Google for business (I think that is what it is called...they keep changing the name).  About two weeks ago, it started stopped working properly in Safari.  My left column of mail boxes often disappear and the pain with the emails in it either doesn’t show up properly or doesn't scroll.  Is anyone else having this problem?  If so, how do you solve it?
    I have Safari 7.0.1.
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Javascript doesn't work on safari desktop but works properly on Safari  ipad. I already cleaned a cache without success

    javascript doesn't work on safari desktop but works properly on Safari  ipad. I already cleaned a cache without success. IE, FF and Opera are working well

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

    Has anyone else noticed that Google News doesn't work properly with Safari 5.1.4?

    Thank you for your response.  The more I use 5.1.4 the more problems I am seeing.  There are problems with images and layout.  I would like to back up to 5.1.3 but the system won't let me. At present I a looking for a solution, or I might just start using Firefox.

  • Will my Incredible ever work properly again?

    I have devoted endless time and energy to trying to get my phone to work since the system updates started appearing.  I should note that I am not a techie, I don't enjoy fiddling with electronics,  and I can't follow many of the fixes that people have posted. I just want my phone to work as reliably as it used to! The issues I have experienced have been well documented in every discussion group I have visited.  Some -- but not all of these included: false warnings about memory shortages, phone turning off, voice searches not working while in the car, gmail not working on phone.  When I tried deleting music and pictures and then restarting the phone, I got stuck in one of those endless "DROID!" startup loops.  I made an emergency trip to a Verizon store, and the salesman said that my phone had never received the update properly -- thus the repeated smaller update messages -- and a factory reset would fix that issue.  He did get the update to install; but, of course, I then had to reinstall all my apps, preferences, etc. Since then, gmail and voice searches are working again, but I continue to have strange and frustrating problems. The radio shuts off at random, which it never used to. For about a week, even the phone qua phone would not work. I could not dial a number by touching a contact or a listing in my call record.  I had to go into View contact and select the number I wanted.  That's what I had to do on my old "stupid" phone.  Three days ago, without any intervention, the phone started to behave normally again.  But then about 36 hours ago all my pictures and music vanished from the phone without a trace.  WHAT's NEXT?!  This phone is supposed to make my life easier; instead it has became an anxiety-provoking pain. FYI: I have software number 4.08.605.2 and Android Version 2.3.4

  • WAP4410N - Will these ever work properly?

    I have owned one of these for about 2 years now, and have sold many of these to clients.  Luckily, none of them get used too much as they require constant rebooting, and it would appear as though all versions of the firmware are unreliable.  Some simply don't work, other work for a day or two at a time between reboots.
    Does anyone have a solution to getting these to work properly?  When I say properly, I mean, you turn it on, configure it and then use it.  That's it.  No rebooting, not even once a year.
    Anyone?

    I have 3 x WAP4410N and had lots of issues. Now they are stable. I think it's the settings below in BOLD that count.
    But I did first reset the unit to factory settings; upgrade firmware; restart; and then enter all settings MANUALLY. All as per Cisco instructions. Do not just install the fw over the old fw; and do not import your settings. But I don't think any of this made any difference, but do it anyway for sure.
    Here is my config. Anything not mentioned has not been enabled. Settings in BOLD are important I think - and are settings folks have mentioned that have solved issues for them. YMMV.

  • Tecra A2: Power Saver doesn't work properly

    I have a Tecra A2 and i was using Xp Pro quite happily. Last few months the Power saver has not been working right. I have unistalled and reinstalled the software and drivers and updated BIOS. It doesn't give me a proper estimated time anymore.
    When on battery it dissappears quicker and will mot give the correct time. Also the system stops every time on a Critical Battery Warning on 3pc even wen i have adjusted the Low Battery settings in the menu.?
    Ignores the settings completely. Has anyone come across this b4. I have ZoneAlarm (upto date), Spysweeper and sometimes Webroot Window Washer running. I have used Registry Mechanic to test everything and Spydoctor to check system.
    I use Outlook and IE regular. I use Limewire, Nero, MsN.
    Help!

    Hi
    Usually the battery is designed for about 500 charge procedures.
    You issue sound like the broken or faulty battery.
    Its a normal issue that after a long working time the battery doesnt work properly and its necessary to replace it.
    I recommend also to remove the battery during the working with the AC adapter. In this case your increase the battery working time (life)

  • Save As Not Working Properly in Excel 2013

    This is a very strange issue that my customer is having.
    Brand new PC (64-bit Dell), came with OEM version of Office 2013 Pro.
    They open documents supplied by 3rd party.  These documents have no extension in file name, but they are basically just text files.  They were created by other application, exporting a report.  So if we open the file with Notepad, it looks
    like a simple report text file with headers, columns, data, etc.
    The requirement is to save these files with a password and pass them on to the end user.  They have chosen Excel to do this with, since the end user may need to massage the data in the report.
    Here is the issue:  We open the file, Excel suggests columns and we accept all defaults.  When we choose Save As, then choose Excel Workbook (*.xlsx), the file saves as a PDF document.  It is still called filename.xlsx, but it has an Adobe
    Acrobat icon next to the file name in Explorer.  If we double click on it, we get an adobe message saying invalid file format.  So even with an xlsx extension, it still seems to be an acrobat document.
    If when we Save As, we select Excel 97-2003 document (*.xls), everything works fine.  This is only a problem when using current excel format.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks...

  • File- Save As not working

    I may be doing something stupid, but when I am editing a package and click on File->Save As, the location dialog box appears, I then select my directory and relevant file name and click on Save. At this point the Save Button is just greyed out and the file isn't saved. Any ideas?

    I am also getting this, I'm on Mac OS x and I also have a stacktrace on offer:

  • Gif's not working Properly in Safari

    this gif, www.harlemnocturne.ytmnd.com , (worksafe, just turn down speakers) will load for me, but the second half moves extremely slowly. i created that gif, and I know what it should be like, but in safari it doesnt work properly. It loaded and played fine in Internet explorer, but it won't in safari. Other gifs behave this way as well, and its very annoying. I can't remember if this started before the most recent safari patch or not.

  • Pinch to zoom not working properly in Safari 5.1

    I have OS X 10.6.8 (downloading lion as i type). I updated safari this morning and ever since I did that, pinch to zoom isnt working right. I can pinch to zoom in, to a certain extent but I can not get as large as I want as I used to and I cannot zoom back out at all. It seems to be working properly in my other apps so I guess it's something in safari. I'm not very Mac savvy since everything usually works and I dont have to be, so maybe I'm missing something? Help! I use this feature CONSTANTLY and desperately want it back. Thanks in advance!

    Same here.
    MBP Late 2007 with Magic Trackpad
    OSX 10.6.8
    Safari 5.1  (6534.50)
    I could zoom in once and then it wouldn't work anymore by using the pinching on the Magic Trackpad.
    Pressing Command and +/- still worked.
    I deleted Safari 5.1 and reinstalled the Combo Update to get 5.0.5 back and it worked properly again.
    Then I installed 5.1 another time and had the same error again.
    I guess I got to roll back to 5.0.5
